Chapter 189: He’s Not Generous Enough

Qiu Yingwen stayed in the hospital for half a day, while Hu Yao was busy and exhausted for the whole day at her end.

Knowing that Qiu Yingwen was fine, Hu Yao felt relieved.

After tracking and investigating, it was found that the cup of juice with the herbal medicine that Qiu Yingwen drank was originally intended for Hu Yao. Jiang Han’s face turned ugly.

He beat up Jiang Xiaochao again, and even the little kid who delivered the juice to Hu Yao wasn’t spared.

The child cried his eyes out and ran home. Other children saw this scene and were terrified. They ran away, each finding their own excuse to leave after talking to Jiang Xiaochao，afraid that Jiang Han would beat them too.

Even Qin Siyuan was afraid of Jiang Han and stayed close to Hu Xiujie.

Seeing all this, Hu Yao hesitated to speak.

Jiang Xiaochao initially didn’t know the main reason for being beaten. He covered his sore bottom and skillfully apologized, “Dad, I won’t draw on the wall again.”

He even argued that he didn’t use soot to scribble randomly, but drew with purpose, drawing his brother, a little cow, and a little dog.

Jiang Han twitched his lips and beat him up again.

“Go wash the wall, don’t let me see you!”

This was never-ending trouble. What kind of person was that Feng Yulan? She reached out so far, even daring to send such a despicable drug to Hu Yao.

Jiang Han’s eyes turned dark and stormy.

Zhong Jinghuai came this time without intending to stay long. After the banquet, he said goodbye and returned something to Hu Yao.

His eyes still held warmth and gentleness when looking at Hu Yao, but there was also a hint of complex and unclear emotions, fleeting and eventually calming.

“He’s a good man to you, Ayao. I wish you happiness and success in the future, and that you become a better and happier version of yourself.” As he left with Sun Qinshu, he only spoke a few words to Hu Yao, his smile bright.

Hu Yao looked at the old, half-broken pencil in her hand, and memories flashed through her mind.

This pencil was the one she bought for him, using the money she earned from doing handicrafts. It was because his pen was broken.

He didn’t dislike it, and he liked her gift very much. He later used this pencil many times to teach her how to write.

He said, “Girls should learn some words. Some knowledge is good. Not to say you’ll be intelligent, but at least you won’t be easily deceived or looked down upon.”

He came from a good family, was well-educated, and was a gentle and low-key person. He rarely argued with people and never looked down on anyone. He was also tolerant and respectful towards women, treating them with courtesy from the inside out.

This was a quality that most men today lacked. Whoever became his wife would be very happy.

When Hu Yao first woke up, she did have some resentment towards him. But later, she learned that he came to see her every year. And now, she had let go.

Perhaps she was still too realistic and suspicious in her heart. Even now, she wasn’t sure if Zhong Jinghuai could truly tolerate her being a fool for four years.

Maybe it wasn’t just four years. Her recovery was entirely due to her luck in surviving a great disaster.

The current situation between Hu Xiujie and Qin Boyu made Hu Yao imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t been a fool and had married Zhong Jinghuai and gone to Beicheng. Would she have been truly happy?

Hu Yao had seen clearly how Qin Boyu loved and cherished Hu Xiujie back then. But in just four years, it had become what it was now.

Qin Boyu used to hold Hu Xiujie’s face and laugh with her, their foreheads touching. The smile in his eyes was dazzling and obvious, full of indulgence and love.

Hu Yao still remembers it clearly now, and she also remembers Hu Xiujie’s happiness and joy.

Ordinary girls like them always have unrealistic fantasies, but reality is cruel, and not everything can go as planned.

She hadn’t thought so much about it before, but this accident once again showed her the reality.

At this time, she was tense and on edge, like a startled bird. She couldn’t trust anyone, and there was no one she could trust.

Her memories of the years when Jiang Han raised her were fragmented and unclear. The most vivid memories she had were of the few times she saw his terrifying and violent side. Not to mention the repeated threats he made after he came back.

She was scared and helpless.

If it weren’t for Jiang Xiaochao，she probably wouldn’t have been able to bear it.

But at some point, Jiang Han had quietly changed in her heart. He became the person she could rely on the most.

He was completely different from Zhong Jinghuai. He wasn’t gentle or reasonable, and he would swear and have a bad temper.

But this kind of him gave her a sense of security that no one else could give her.

In this era, girls were still treated harshly. Even though Zhong Jinghuai had taught Hu Yao many principles, in real life, people were diverse, and not everyone would follow those principles.

Principles were only for people who were equal and fair. In this world, people bullied the weak and feared the strong. No one would truly follow principles with the weak.

Even Jiang Han，at first, didn’t put her in a high position. That was an unavoidable common problem for everyone.

She would be suppressed, she would be depressed, she would be in pain. But she also became more aware of some things, yet she was powerless to change them.

The brilliance of the people’s ideological reform and transformation would never suddenly shine on everyone and melt into everyone’s heart.

It would take a long time, a very long time. Hu Yao couldn’t hold on.

She saw a different kind of enlightened life and fantasy through the shadow of Zhong Jinghuai.

Back to reality, she was still just an ordinary girl who had suffered many misfortunes.

After struggling for so long, everything came to nothing. What Jiang Han gave her was actually what she craved and longed for the most.

His kindness to her was always straightforward, without any beating around the bush. In those four years, he had almost raised her like a daughter. She had been so noisy and mischievous, and he had endured it all. Now, he had changed a lot.

Jiang Han was slowly becoming a better person. His tolerance and indulgence towards her, his repair of her missing soul, his exceptional care for her, were what she needed and wanted the most.

“You’re so reluctant to let me go, but I’m not going far! Take Jiang Fuheng..

Take it, run and catch up! You’ll sleep between them in the future!” Jiang Han gritted his teeth and pulled her distracted face.

This is the second time today! This woman’s eyes were practically melting when she looked at Zhong Jinghuai! If she’s so reluctant, she should just go live with them as a trio! He thinks Zhong Jinghuai’s wife is pretty generous, giving them space to chat alone, she didn’t even rush to attack Hu Yao!

What normal woman would be so happy to accompany her husband to meet an old flame? And she’s chatting away with him, like they’re best friends!

That Du Ximei, anyone who gets close to Song Sikai ends up dead. But Hu Yao and Sun Qinshu are incredibly generous, they don’t care at all.

Zhong Jinghuai is not normal, and his wife isn’t normal either!

Damn it, it’s like he’s the only one who isn’t generous!

Why did I have a brain fart and invite Zhong Jinghuai? I’m just asking to be pissed off faster!

“What did he give you?” Jiang Han lowered his head and glared at her, seeing that she still had something Zhong Jinghuai gave her clutched in her hand, he couldn’t help but ask again.
