Chapter 112: Self-Taught

Under his barrage of words, Hu Yao fell silent again.

Ever since she confessed about her past with Zhong Jinghuai, he had been holding a grudge about her mentioning their hand-holding, constantly squeezing her hand whenever he got the chance.

“I didn’t,” Hu Yao looked up at him, her eyes clear.

“Don’t be angry, I’ll only hold hands with you from now on.” She said softly, her voice as if trying to coax him.

It was still a bit embarrassing to say these words, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Jiang Han’s gaze fell on her blushing face, darkening slightly. The agitation in his heart was actually eased by her few words, leaving him feeling numb and weak.

“If you don’t want to hold hands with me, who do you want to hold hands with, some wild man!” He looked at her with a sense of entitlement, domineering and shameless: “I’m your man, of course you can only hold hands with me and sleep with me! Otherwise, I’ll beat you up!”

His voice was loud, and it was unclear if anyone passing by would hear him.

Hu Yao’s face turned even redder.

“Don’t talk like that outside,” she lowered her voice and said to him, he wouldn’t even feel embarrassed.

“What’s wrong with being outside? Are you not my wife outside?” Jiang Han glared at her, annoyed, pinching her face, as if being his wife was something shameful?

She really needed a lesson!

Passersby looked at them with strange glances, Hu Yao was still uncomfortable with people looking at them like that, she pulled his hand away and quickened her pace to walk further away.

“I’m not.”

She probably knew he wouldn’t really do anything to her, and deep down she also knew about his indulgence towards her, now she was gradually not afraid of him anymore, and dared to contradict him.

“You’ve gotten bold! Come back here and say it to my face again!” Jiang Han narrowed his eyes and strode after her.

Hu Yao was startled and quickly ran away.

His slightly tight, deep, magnetic voice rang out behind her: “What are you running for! Watch where you’re going! Is there a dog chasing you?”

“…”

There was no dog chasing Hu Yao, but the person chasing her was much scarier than a dog. She belatedly realized what she had just said to him.

Running around in the street was indeed not a good look, especially since she was pregnant. Seeing that he wasn’t chasing her anymore, she slowed down and turned back to look at him.

Jiang Han gave her a disgusted look: “Do you think you’re still five years old? Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?”

Hu Yao: “…”

He found Jiang Xiaochao, who was still playing with Qiu Yarong, and on the way home, even after arriving home, Jiang Han seemed to have forgotten about her saying she wasn’t his wife.

Hu Yao secretly observed for a long time, seeing that he really wasn’t holding it against her, she finally felt relieved.

Jiang Han didn’t hold it against her, but he did beat up Jiang Xiaochao in the afternoon.

It wasn’t because he was taking it out on him, but because he played with his little cow dung in the afternoon, got his hands dirty and accidentally slapped Jiang Han.

He was beaten on the spot.

“I didn’t play with this hand, Daddy!” Jiang Xiaochao pouted, showing him his “intact” little finger, still not quite understanding why he was really beaten.

Jiang Han didn’t want to say another word to him, he beat him up and drove him and the cow out the door together.

Jiang Xiaochao was aggrieved and puzzled, humming and muttering, his little cow was also crying because Jiang Han scolded it along with him.

This scene was still funny even after seeing it several times, Hu Yao looked at Jiang Han’s black face, after a while she felt he had calmed down, went outside to pull the dirty Jiang Xiaochao back, and washed his hands for him.

“You don’t find it dirty! Let him wash himself!” Jiang Han saw it, his face was still black, but he couldn’t help but scold.

“Jiang Fuchao, are you sick in the head because your mother is fine? You have nothing to play with? Go play with cow dung! Are you not disgusted?”

Jiang Xiaochao pouted: “Why are you so fierce! I won’t play anymore! I didn’t play with Daddy’s cup either!”

“You try playing with one! If you want to be that big, just say so, your father won’t accommodate you!”

“…”

The father and son argued as usual, unsurprisingly Jiang Xiaochao got beaten up again, Jiang Han even personally supervised him washing his dirty clothes piece by piece.

“Daddy, I…”

“Get lost!”

Jiang Han now found him annoying in every way, so annoying that he could throw him away if he said another word.

Hu Yao was also a bit helpless about his playing with dung, she gently taught him before going to bed in the evening that he couldn’t play with it anymore.

He nodded obediently and agreed, after playing all day and being beaten twice, his little head hit the pillow, and he fell fast asleep.

Seeing him sleeping so soundly, Hu Yao softened her gaze, tucked him in, and quietly walked out of his room.

She was also tired, usually she would go to bed at this time.

But Jiang Han wouldn’t let her!

He was waiting for her here!

Sure enough, he was still remembering her saying she wasn’t his wife, he was being a scoundrel again tonight, pulling her to do all sorts of shameful things.

“Not my wife?”

“Are you now?”

She was tired and sleepy, she whimpered in response, but he still wouldn’t let her go.

She didn’t know how long it had been, she had no strength left, and she fell into a sleepy coma.

Before she fell asleep, she thought about what Jiang Xiaochao said, he said his father was a stingy ghost.

Sometimes he really was!

…

Jiang Xiaochao was very busy lately, he had friends in town and friends in the village, he would go to town to play in the morning, and take his little cow to play in the village in the afternoon, besides that, he also had to “look after” Hu Yao.

He had been playing with Rongrong a lot recently, the two little guys often got together, and later there was also Xiaoya.

Qiu Yarong, compared to boys, liked girls more, after Xiaoya came, she was more partial to Xiaoya, giving Xiaoya the snacks that were supposed to be for Jiang Xiaochao.

She even kissed Xiaoya.

Because Qiu Yarong was too enthusiastic, she made Xiaoya very shy. Xiaoya shyly asked Qiu Yarong if she could stop kissing her. Qiu Yarong was very domineering and said no, she even coaxed and tricked Xiaoya, telling her that if she kissed her, she would be better to her and give her everything.

Every time Qiu Yingwen saw this, she felt helpless and exhausted. She repeatedly told her not to be like a little hooligan or a little pervert.

“I just like her!” Qiu Yarong pouted.

“So you mean I was born with the wrong gender, Qiu Yarong! How old are you! You’re always teasing little girls! You’re a little girl yourself!” Qiu Yingwen was speechless and had a headache. “What’s the difference between you and your bastard dad!”

“I don’t want to be like him!” Qiu Yarong snorted again when she heard her say this.

“If you don’t want to be like him, then change your hooligan ways!” Qiu Yingwen couldn’t help but pull her ear.

This little hooligan had never met her father, but she had already learned how to tease little girls!

“Go play with your little aunt, Mom is busy!” She impatiently drove her away and started to busy herself with the small things in the shop.

Although business wasn’t very good, since she had decided to stay here with Qiu Yarong, she would persevere no matter what.

Business was still not very good today. Qiu Yingwen sighed after calculating the accounts.

“Uncle Haofei, what are you doing here?”

Outside the door, Jiang Xiaochao asked curiously.
