Chapter 106: She is the one he nurtured

“No, I don’t like Daddy feeding me.” Jiang Xiaochao thought for a moment, thanked him sincerely for his kindness, and said that Hu Yao could feed him.

He was really being picky! Jiang Han glanced at him, letting out a cold snort.

This breakfast was as noisy and chaotic as usual.

After breakfast, the family of three went to town.

Jiang Han was also going to the wine shop to brew new wine today.

The backyard of the wine shop was a small brewery. Liu Grandpa was getting old and had some health issues, so he couldn’t do much heavy lifting.

Jiang Han could brew several types of wine, but his rice wine was the most fragrant and mellow.

The wine shop had always been run by Liu Grandpa and Liu Grandma. Jiang Han only brewed wine at specific times, and most people didn’t know that the shop was actually his.

Hu Yao sat with Liu Grandma and chatted. Since she became pregnant, most of the topics the old lady talked about were about children.

Last month, Liu Grandma started putting the monthly profits from the wine shop into Hu Yao’s hands instead of giving them to Jiang Han. Jiang Han didn’t object, and told her to spend it freely.

Although the wine shop wasn’t big, it had good business. The monthly profit was several hundred or even thousands of dollars. Hu Yao spent freely, but didn’t know where she spent it all. She carefully put the money away, along with the money Jiang Han brought back for her.

“We old bones, we don’t know when we’ll be unable to move. Ahan just wants us to stay active, so he asked us to work at the wine shop. When Ah Yao’s child is born, this shop will be returned to you, the rightful owner! I told Ahan this a long time ago, and he said he was worried you’d be tired while pregnant.” Liu Grandma chuckled, glancing at Jiang Han who was carrying rice to the backyard and occasionally looking at Hu Yao, her eyes teasing.

“Didn’t you have a fight with Ahan before? He was looking for you everywhere that night, even coming here in the middle of the night. He was so worried.” Liu Grandma said, finding it funny. It was rare to see Jiang Han like that.

Hu Yao was a little embarrassed by her teasing. Hearing her words, she paused slightly. He was looking for her… that night?

Liu Grandma saw her expression and sighed, patting her hand: “Ahan’s temper isn’t good, but since he had you and Xiaochao, he’s gotten better. If his mother was still alive, she wouldn’t have been able to teach him like this. He doesn’t know how to say nice things, but he shows his kindness through actions. He’s much better than many others.”

“In Grandma’s eyes, you are both good children. Live a good life. You never know what kind of bad environment or experiences you might encounter in life. We don’t need to think too much about it. Ahan is your husband, you should have more confidence in him and yourself. Don’t be afraid of him. He won’t do anything to you.” Liu Grandma’s face was kind, her voice gentle and smiling.

Hu Yao looked at the father and son who were going in and out in the distance, her eyes flashing.

It was true that even when he was angry and scary, he never did anything to her. In many ordinary things, he also took good care of her.

“A few years ago, you were a real handful. I remember one time Ahan brought Xiaochao to the clinic because he had a fever. He left you with me to watch over. I wasn’t paying attention, and you disappeared. Oh dear, you ran all over the street. We old bones couldn’t catch up to you…” Liu Grandma talked about the past, laughing.

“Later, Ahan found you. You wouldn’t go with him, you cried and cried, wiping your nose on him and hitting him with your shoes. Ahan didn’t even get angry with you! You lost a shoe and insisted on finding Ahan, so he searched the whole street for it.” Liu Grandma laughed as she spoke.

Hu Yao: “…”

Her face slowly turned red again, this time with embarrassment. She didn’t really want to know about her silly moments.

She must have been too wild during those four years, running around everywhere. That’s why Jiang Han still told her not to go out and run around.

It was because Hu Yao occasionally remembered some embarrassing memories that she couldn’t refute or explain his warnings.

“When you were sick, Ahan would take you to the city for treatment every year. I won’t say how much he liked you then, but you were his wife. Even if you were sick, he would be responsible for you. He’s not a bad person. On the contrary, he’s very responsible, more reliable than any other young man!” Liu Grandma said with a reassuring tone.

Hu Yao was stunned.

No wonder Jiang Han always said she was the one he nurtured…

“Jiang Fu-chao, you stupid idiot! Our Jiang family’s skills will be lost with you! Your grandpa would be so angry, he’d die again!”

Jiang Han’s deep voice came from the backyard, where he was teaching Jiang Xiaochao how to brew wine.

“I can’t remember. I’m an idiot!” Jiang Xiaochao said confidently, taking a bite of the peanut candy Liu Grandpa gave him. His mind was completely on the candy in his hand, not paying attention to the brewing steps Jiang Han was explaining.

“Let my younger siblings learn, I’ll go herd the cows!”

“Get out! Go outside and play with your wife!” Jiang Han was very dismissive.

“Rongrong is not my wife, she said she wants to be my brother!” Jiang Xiaochao corrected him seriously.

Jiang Han didn’t care if she was his wife or brother, he kicked him out to the front yard.

“Be careful with your little paws, don’t play too wild!”

“Oh.” Jiang Xiaochao nodded dejectedly, looking at his little radish fingers, grumbling, and then greeted Hu Yao before running off to play with Qiu Yarong.

Qiu Yarong’s family had just moved to the neighborhood recently. Her mother had a pastry shop not far from the wine shop.

When she came to find Jiang Xiaochao, she also brought some pastries and hopped over to give them to Hu Yao and Liu Grandma.

She was also very sweet and praised Hu Yao for being beautiful.

Hu Yao smiled and patted her head, sincerely praising her for being beautiful too.

But the praised Qiu Yarong didn’t like being called beautiful. She said that was for girls.

“You are a girl, aren’t you?” Jiang Xiaochao took another bite of his candy.

“I want to be a boy!” Qiu Yarong pouted, upset that she wasn’t a boy.

“Then why didn’t you ask your mom to make you a boy?” Jiang Xiaochao asked curiously.

“Yeah! My mom said she –>>

“There’s no way, it’s so annoying!”

The two little ones spoke in childish words, really thinking they could just decide to be a boy or a girl.

Hu Yao and Grandma Liu found it funny.

“Your mother just wants you to be a good girl and not cause her any trouble!”

Du Ximei stepped through the door, giving her a look of displeasure.

“Auntie~!”

“Godmother, you’re here!”

The two little ones who were muttering to themselves saw her and happily ran over to hug her legs, one on each side.

She was very popular with them.

Hu Yao was equally happy to see Du Ximei, and went to pour her some tea. Seeing Qiu Yarong’s familiarity and closeness with her, she was slightly surprised.
