Chapter 34: Seeing Your Mom Scared

He treated her as his possession, easily manipulating her, not caring about her feelings.

No one would like this kind of feeling, and Hu Yao was no exception.

“Did you finish your medicine?” He put his big hand on her slender, smooth waist and asked in a deep voice.

Thinking that she was so delicate, he softened his touch even more.

Even now, Hu Yao still couldn’t get used to his touch, and a goosebump appeared on her white arms.

She nodded, not saying anything else.

Jiang Han leaned down and bit her collarbone, his breath slightly heavy, casually tidying up her messy clothes, not touching her anymore.

Hu Yao lay stiffly in his arms, her eyes filled with surprise.

He ran his hand through her hair, changed to a more comfortable position holding her, and began to fall asleep.

The man’s rough and undeniable breath enveloped her, already somewhat familiar.

Having had previous experience, Hu Yao didn’t dare to move around and provoke him, quietly closing her eyes and falling asleep after a long time.

The next day when she woke up, their original position had changed at some point. She was no longer facing away from him, but half-lying on his chest.

The only thing that remained unchanged was his hand around her waist.

Sleeping on her stomach made her feel stuffy and unable to breathe, and Hu Yao was woken up by the suffocation.

She moved a little after waking up, which also woke him up.

When Jiang Han was sleeping or just woke up, the cold and fierce aura on him was not obvious. His slight gentleness and calmness even gave people the illusion that he was easy to get along with.

“Sleep a little longer.” He pulled her back, his big hand slowly smoothing down from her hair to her back.

“Chaochao will wake up.”

Jiang Xiaochao  would wake up and look for food.

“Don’t worry about him!” Jiang Han’s tone was impatient. He had been particularly annoyed by Jiang Fu Zhao, who wanted to be his father, these past two days.

Jiang Xiaochao  also held a grudge against him for making Hu Yao sad, and the father and son couldn’t see eye to eye.

But father-son love is amazing. Today Jiang Han had time, and after breakfast, the father and son went up the mountain together to hunt for wild game.

Lin Zhaodi hadn’t gone to sell vegetables these past few days, and similarly, Hu Yao hadn’t gone to sell watermelons either.

The watermelons were Jiang Han’s, and he didn’t let her go anymore, so she didn’t say anything.

She still had some money left from selling watermelons that day, and Hu Yao almost forgot to return it to Jiang Han after being sick for a few days, but Jiang Han wouldn’t care about such a small amount of money.

After washing clothes with Lin Zhaodi and listening to some gossip from the aunties, Hu Yao went home as usual to hang the clothes and clean the house.

Jiang Xiaochao  went out with Jiang Han, and his few friends came to look for him but couldn’t find him, so they left disappointed. Only Xiaoya, seeing that Jiang Han was not there, happily ran to Hu Yao and refused to leave, showing her her new clothes.

Hu Yao smiled and squatted down, holding her small hand and praising, “Yaya’s new clothes are so beautiful.”

Xiaoya’s eyes lit up: “Auntie made them for Yaya.”

Hu Yao didn’t know who she was referring to as “Auntie,” but seeing her so happy, she couldn’t help but be infected and smile along, braiding her hair according to her expectant gaze.

She was so happy that she skipped and hopped back home.

Half an hour later, she came back and gave Hu Yao several wild strawberries.

The children in the village didn’t have many snacks, and they loved to pick wild fruits.

The wild strawberries were sweet and sour, and Hu Yao ate two and found them delicious. She gave Xiaoya a crispy cake.

This time, Xiaoya didn’t go back immediately, and she happened to bump into Jiang Han and Jiang Xiaochao  when they came back.

She saw Jiang Han and slowly moved out, timidly and fearfully. Her little feet crossed the door, and she immediately ran away.

Jiang Han clicked his tongue and didn’t bother with a little kid.

Jiang Xiaochao  tugged at his own clothes and ran to Hu Yao, his voice cheerful: “I caught a lot of these with Dad, for Mom to eat!”

He used his own little clothes to carry them all.

Hu Yao smiled at him, but her smile froze a second later.

What he was carrying in his little clothes was full of fat, wriggling worms.

Jiang Xiaochao  grabbed a handful with his hand and even raised it for her to see.

Hu Yao couldn’t help but scream. She wasn’t afraid of snakes, but she was most afraid of these soft, wriggling worms. She could usually tolerate one or two, but so many.

She took two steps back, the first time she had shown such obvious resistance to Jiang Xiaochao .

Jiang Xiaochao  pouted.

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows, seeing that she was even afraid of bamboo worms, he was slightly disgusted, but seeing her face turn pale, he went over and pushed Jiang Xiaochao  away.

“Look at you, you scared your mom. Go away.”

“Oh…” Jiang Xiaochao  also realized that Hu Yao was afraid of these worms, and he ran away with his clothes in his hands.

“Yaoyao, I’m going far away.”

Hu Yao didn’t dare to touch the full bag of bamboo worms, and Jiang Han didn’t force her to. In the end, they were roasted.

The father and son made a small fire in the yard, and they also roasted a few sweet potatoes.

Besides those bamboo worms, Jiang Han also hunted a few wild rabbits. He processed them, and Hu Yao used yellow tofu and bamboo to stew them, and they tasted extremely good. Jiang Xiaochao  ate with gusto.

He had gained some weight recently, and his chubby little face looked extra cute. His clothes were a bit short, and his little belly often showed a small section.

Hu Yao planned to make new clothes for him.

There was a lot of loose money and tickets in the drawer of the bedside table.

Nowadays, buying cloth no longer required cloth tickets, which was much more convenient.

The money Jiang Han left at home was also meant for her to use freely, but Hu Yao hadn’t touched it much. She had put the money she earned from selling watermelons that day into it.

In the past, Lin Zhaodi had made clothes for Jiang Xiaochao , and he had never worn anything made by Hu Yao. When he learned that Hu Yao was going to make clothes for him, he was very happy.

After buying the cloth, he actively spread his little hands to cooperate with Hu Yao in taking his measurements.

“Yeah, my tummy is showing! They can’t fit anymore.” He patted his little belly and told Hu Yao, no longer saying that he had many clothes.

Jiang Xiaochao was a bit attached to his belongings, he couldn’t bear to throw away things he had used for a long time. The small blanket he was using was the one he had been using since birth.

Looking at his cute little face, Hu Yao’s eyes were filled with radiant laughter.

This time she bought a lot of cloth, he was small, so she could make several sets.

These days she was at home concentrating on making clothes, Lin Zhaodi seemed to have something to do as well, besides going to wash clothes together, she came to find Hu Yao less often.

The day before, Song Sikai came to find Jiang Han, the two of them didn’t know what they said, their faces were not good, and then they were busy again, going out early and returning late.

Jiang Han, besides teasing Hu Yao and beating Jiang Xiaochao every day, wouldn’t talk about what he did outside at all.

He wasn’t home often, Hu Yao was actually more relaxed.

Jiang Xiaochao’s clothes were almost done, just two shirt-style tops were missing a few buttons.

The weather was clear that day, so Hu Yao went to town with Jiang Xiaochao to buy buttons, and also to take him out to play.

Hu Yao liked quiet, most of the time she really liked staying at home, she didn’t like going out much.

But Jiang Xiaochao was different, he liked to run around, to go everywhere to play.

Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, they were not only here to buy buttons today, but also to buy some mooncakes.
