Chapter 150: The Token of Engagement

“Sikai said before that he didn’t like children. When Ximei gives birth, we’ll raise their children together.” Hu Yao thought.

Jiang Han scoffed, “Do you think he’ll be willing to give you one? He treats them like gold!”

“You want to take their child? They want to take Jiang Fuchao away!” He snorted, those two were crazy together, the couple conspired to steal Jiang Fuchao and even told him about it in front of him.

If he didn’t hear it, he’d pretend it didn’t happen. If they liked Jiang Fuchao so much, they could just take him directly. Why so many twists and turns, sneaking around like thieves? He wasn’t unwilling to give him away!

Jiang Xiaochao woke up and heard the commotion downstairs. He had slept soundly and was still groggy when he woke up. He walked closer and saw Jiang Han and Hu Yao “twisting” together again. He squatted down a little distance away and watched in a daze for a while.

After he woke up a bit, he heard Jiang Han talking about him, saying who would steal him away.

“No, no! Don’t take me away!” He was fully awake now, and he ran forward to hug Hu Yao tightly, his childish voice filled with anxiety, “If you take me away, what will Mom do?”

“Whether you’re here or not doesn’t matter much. Don’t think you’re too important.” Jiang Han glanced at him.

Jiang Xiaochao wouldn’t listen to him. He was very important to Hu Yao, and Hu Yao liked him the most.

“Mom, don’t let them steal me away!” He looked up at Hu Yao seriously.

“Okay, Mom won’t let anyone steal Chaochao away!” Hu Yao replied repeatedly.

With her words, Jiang Xiaochao felt relieved.

“Why don’t you steal Dad away? You want to steal me.” He mumbled.

“Because Chaochao is so good and so cute, he’s the most precious, and others like you too.” Hu Yao smiled and rubbed his furry little head, answering his question.

“That’s it, I know, I’m the most precious, Dad is worthless!” He slightly raised his chin.

Jiang Han kicked him to the ground, seeing his arrogant look, he wanted to kick him a couple more times.

Hu Yao stopped him, dissatisfied, “Don’t keep kicking him like that, what if you hurt him?”

She helped Jiang Xiaochao up, who was lying on the ground like a little turtle, and couldn’t help but nag.

“Yes, Dad, I’m going to break!” Jiang Xiaochao pouted in dissatisfaction, but before Hu Yao could help him, he skillfully climbed up using his hands and feet, patted the dust that wasn’t there on his body, and echoed Hu Yao’s words.

Jiang Han wanted to beat him again.

He did beat him in the end, but it was after breakfast.

The yard was a bit bumpy after the rain. The pits were all dug by Jiang Xiaochao when he played in the mud before, scattered here and there, all over the yard.

After breakfast, he couldn’t resist going to play with the two puppies again, stepping in mud pits, smearing mud, and even his little cow wasn’t spared.

Looking at the mess all over the yard, Jiang Han took a rattan cane and beat him, scolding him for being worse than a dog. He had beaten him so many times, but he never saw him truly change.

Jiang Han pulled the dejected Jiang Fuchao to wash the courtyard wall for a whole morning. Watching him slowly clean it, his mood improved a little.

“Dad, don’t be so angry, it’s not good to be angry.” Jiang Xiaochao said softly, feeling that his father was too petty. Anyway, he always made him clean up after he played, so he played anyway.

Jiang Han didn’t know what he was thinking, he sneered at him, “What’s good-looking? That’s what you say to women, save it for your mother later!”

“I’ll tell Mom too, Mom is already so beautiful.” Jiang Xiaochao hummed.

“I went to play with Mom and my godmother, many people said Mom is my sister, there are many uncles who also want to play with Mom…” He rambled on.

Jiang Han’s face turned black: “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? What wild people! Are they blind, calling her a sister? Can’t they see your younger sister in your mother’s belly?”

“If you see such a hooligan in the future, just throw your stone at him!” His jealousy flared up, this was why he didn’t like Hu Yao going out often.

It was fine in town, everyone knew she was his wife, who would dare to chat her up?

But it was different in other places, these days, there were many perverts like Tang Hao Fei, all of them fearless, even married women they would try to seduce!

“Mom said throwing stones is bad, and I can’t do it anymore, that’s not being a good child.” Jiang Xiaochao shook his head.

He hadn’t thrown stones at people for a long time, because Hu Yao didn’t like him doing that, and he gradually changed.

“When have you ever been good?” Jiang Han questioned.

“I’m good! Mom said I’m the best!” Jiang Xiaochao hummed.

“Your mother is just stupid and hasn’t recovered, she’s also blind!”

“Dad is mean, you’re scolding Mom!”

“Get out!”

The father and son argued again in the yard, they didn’t know what they were arguing about. Hu Yao wrung out the wet cloth and went out to help Jiang Xiaochao wipe the courtyard wall.

She didn’t know why he liked playing in the mud so much, he played even if he was beaten, and he loved to make everything dirty, even though he was beaten many times, he still didn’t change.

He did many little bad things, and he didn’t learn his lesson after being beaten, he would do it again next time.

Fortunately, he was just mischievous, not really a naughty child, most of the time he was still very well-behaved and warm-hearted. He was her son, of course Hu Yao tolerated some of his mischievous behavior.

“What are you wiping for him? Let him wipe it himself!”

Hu Yao came over with the cloth, before she could take any action, Jiang Han saw what she wanted to do and stopped her.

It was because she spoiled this little bastard Jiang Fuchao too much, that he was getting more and more lawless!

“Mom, Dad said you’re blind.” Jiang Xiaochao complained.

“He always said that before, he said Mom’s eyes are bad, and he held hands with Uncle Zhong, he said he would beat us flat…” Jiang Xiaochao didn’t understand what Zhong Jing Huai had to do with him, he had never even seen this person, why did Jiang Han wanted to beat him up too.

“…”

Hu Yao remained silent, her brows slightly furrowed.

Her affair with Zhong Jinghuai was probably something Jiang Han couldn’t get over, even though they were already married and he had returned the dowry from back then.

He was truly relentless when it came to jealousy.

“What are you staring at? Did I say something wrong?” Jiang Han snatched the rag from her hand and glared back at her.

“And you, Jiang Fuchao, your father isn’t dead yet, who do you think you’re calling ‘Dad’? Are you asking for a beating?” He was being unreasonable, clearly it was him who first mentioned “that Father Zhong” to Jiang Fuchao.

The mother and son shared the same expression of frustration, feeling both confused and angry at him.

He kept bringing up Zhong Jinghuai, mentioning him and then getting angry, and his temper was unpredictable, changing like the weather.

This time, Hu Yao decided to take the initiative. She pressed her red lips together and interrupted his words, taking the red string off her wrist and handing it back to him: “I don’t want your token of engagement with other girls.”

She remembered that Grandma Liu had told her…
