Chapter 114: Who Said You Were

Tang Haofei’s eyes were filled with a dark cloud, his anger growing, and he violently kicked over the table and chairs in front of him.

A series of loud bangs echoed as the wooden table and chairs were thrown against the wall, scattering wood chips and splinters.

“What the hell are you doing in broad daylight?”

The Tang family was preparing to eat at the time. Seeing Tang Haofei come back acting strange, they hadn’t had time to scold him before he went crazy and kicked the table and chairs to pieces.

Old Man Tang’s temper flared again. He leaned on his cane and went to beat him: “You good-for-nothing, can’t you be normal for a single day?”

“You think I’m giving you face, huh?”

“You dress like this in broad daylight, are you going to be a gangster or a thief? Don’t let me find out you’ve done something shady outside! Otherwise, I’ll drag you to your uncle’s place and let them personally execute you!”

“…”

Old Man Tang couldn’t help but get angry whenever he saw him. Originally, he was in a good mood, but seeing him ruined it.

The rest of the family had grown accustomed to this scene. Tang Haofei’s several nephews were almost the same age as him.

Seeing Tang Haofei’s grim expression and his disheveled appearance, they guessed:

“Did Uncle go fight with someone again? Did he lose?”

“Who did he fight with?”

“Who knows, Uncle has so many enemies. Last New Year’s Eve, he was beaten up by someone, and we still don’t know who it was. He remembers it to this day, saying it was because Grandpa didn’t let him go home.”

“…”

Several people were enjoying the spectacle, Tang Haofei being beaten up while they talked among themselves, not too loud, and helped serve the meal for the family.

Only Old Lady Tang went to protect Tang Haofei again. Knowing that his hand was still broken, she was heartbroken and kept nagging, urging him to go to the hospital.

“Oh dear, who was so cruel to break your hand like this!” Old Lady Tang was both heartbroken and worried.

Tang Haofei’s back molars were about to be crushed. It was that cruel, shameless woman! Forget his hand! He wanted to destroy her!

…

A few days later, Tang Haofei’s hand was in a cast.

He seemed to be very free lately, wandering around the streets all day, going to the tavern to drink eight times a day, harassing young girls on the street, getting annoyed at everyone, and even going to the Jiang family to steal Jiang Xiaochao’s eggs and eat them in front of him.

This made Jiang Xiaochao furious. He ran to Jiang Han to complain.

“He stole your eggs? Is he crazy?” Jiang Han was also speechless about Tang Haofei, who had been doing nothing for the past two days.

“Yeah! He, he might have been beaten silly by Aunt Qiu! His head is broken! Like Yaoyao.” Jiang Xiaochao thought for a moment and said seriously.

Hu Yao pretended not to hear his last sentence and continued to mend the ripped seam on Jiang Han’s clothes.

“You’re always saying your mother is stupid, what’s with that!” Jiang Han glared at Jiang Xiaochao: “Take your cow out to play, next time make him pay for your eggs!”

“Okay.” Jiang Xiaochao snorted.

“Stop sewing, why are you always mending clothes?” Jiang Han took the needle and thread from Hu Yao’s hand and stuffed a bunch of washed grapes into her hand, looking at her with a frown: “You don’t eat all day, you’re just skin and bones!”

She gained weight before she was pregnant!

“No, I’m not.” Hu Yao ate two grapes, looked down at her bulging belly.

Early March, the weather was gradually warming up. She was almost four months pregnant. Unlike the thick clothes she wore in winter, her belly was clearly visible.

“Later, stew the wild chicken with ginseng, eat more, Jiang Fuchao’s cow eats more than you!”

Looking at her quiet appearance, her cheeks puffed out as she ate grapes, his eyes unconsciously filled with a hint of joy, and he reached out to pinch her.

“I’m not a cow.” Hu Yao was depressed, blocking his mischievous hand.

She was wearing a looser dress today, one of the few he had coaxed her into buying before. The style and fabric were good, just not as fitted, but now that she was pregnant, her belly wasn’t very big yet, so it fit just right.

“You’re not even as good as that cow!” Jiang Han clicked his tongue, his hand slipped down and stroked her bulging belly.

For the first time, he took the initiative to talk to her about the child patiently.

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

Hu Yao paused, then looked at her belly again: “I don’t know, some people say it’s a son, some say it’s a daughter.”

“How do they say?”

“By looking at what I eat.”

Hearing this, Jiang Han glared at her: “What do you not eat, what kind of basis is that!”

Whether it’s a son or a daughter, just don’t be like Jiang Fuchao and make him angry to death!

He was just asking out of curiosity, and didn’t say much about the child after that. Seeing her finish the grapes, he went to the yard to process the wild chicken.

He also made a shuttlecock for Jiang Fuchao with the chicken feathers.

Hu Yao watched, unconsciously curving her lips.

“Do you want one too?”

“…” I don’t want one. She’s not a child anymore.

The pickled radishes she had made a while ago were ready. While he was processing the chicken, Hu Yao told him and took some out to give to Du Ximei, and also some to another neighbor in the village.

It was the family whose puppy she had been stealing from when she was crazy.

The woman in that family was five years older than Hu Yao. Her husband had been working outside for many years and rarely came back. Besides her, there was also her mother-in-law at home, and the two women were somewhat unsafe at home, so they raised many dogs.

They were also good people. During those years when she went to their house to make trouble, they never said anything to her.

Because the man in the family was not at home, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took care of each other, which was much better than other families whose mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were constantly at odds.

Hu Yao knocked on the door and went in, finding that the man who had been working outside had returned today.

Before she could speak, he saw her, sighed, and said loudly:

“–>>

Hu Yao: “…”

He’s been out for a year and a half, and he doesn’t know if Hu Yao is alright.

…

Jiang Han saw her happily go out and came back with a gloomy face. He asked her, “Did Song Sikai scold you?”

“No.” Hu Yao shook her head, not wanting to talk about how people thought she was stealing a dog again.

But under his questioning, she still told him.

“It’s just a small matter, others didn’t wrong you! How many times have you stolen other people’s dogs?” Jiang Han didn’t care.

“…You, you can stop me from going.” Hu Yao choked.

“You even ripped off the roof of your house, how else can I stop you!” Jiang Han was angry.

She climbed up the roof and tore it off, she cried and screamed, and no matter what I did, she could still go to heaven, I don’t know what she’ll do! No one is more tormenting than her!

Hu Yao was speechless. She looked at him a few times, pursed her lips in anger, and turned to leave.

“Come back! What’s wrong with you, you stole other people’s dogs and got scolded, and you come back to vent your anger on me?” Jiang Han raised his eyebrows, she’s getting more and more arrogant!

“What’s so angry about this little thing?”

“You like dogs so much? I’ll get you one?”

“What kind do you want?”

“Who said you?”
