Chapter 50: The One Who Hit Her

Hu Qiao couldn’t believe the attitude Hu Guifen had when she went to see Hu Yao.

She had told Hu Guifen to be soft-spoken towards Hu Yao.

Considering what they had done to Hu Yao in the past, anyone would know to say some nice things.

But Hu Guifen had always been domineering towards Hu Yao. She was her mother, how could a mother have to grovel to her daughter? No matter what she did to Hu Yao, she was still her mother, Hu Yao should respect and endure her! If she wanted Hu Yao to do something, Hu Yao should listen completely!

That’s how Hu Guifen had always thought.

“Forget about what happened last time, your sister came to you to make amends, and this is how you treat her! I spent so much money on rice to raise you, this is how you repay us! If your father had died earlier, I should have sold you!”

“If I hadn’t married you to Jiang Han back then, would you have the good life you have today? Would you be living in a new house and eating and wearing well? Now you’ve become a complete white-eyed wolf, not only do you not help your family, you even harm us!”

“You made your sister look like that, how can she explain it to her husband’s family! You really think that after getting married, I can’t control you anymore because you’ve grown wings?”

Hu Guifen’s accusations and scolding were relentless. Her sharp and sarcastic eyes looked at Hu Yao not like a daughter, but an enemy.

She noticed that Jiang Han wasn’t around, so her curses became even louder.

She had known about Jiang Han building a new house for a while now, and she had heard the villagers laughing and saying that she wouldn’t get any benefit from it. This made her even more resentful towards Hu Yao.

She had raised her for so many years, but it was all useless! All she could do was earn Jiang Han those three hundred yuan! But that three hundred yuan was already spent, and the high-interest loan incident a while back had wiped out their savings!

Hu Yao was her daughter, and Jiang Han was her son-in-law, how could they be so cruel! Hu Yao, this white-eyed wolf, was even siding with outsiders!

The curious and gossiping neighbors gathered around to watch the drama unfold.

Hu Guifen didn’t hold back, she told everyone how unfilial Hu Yao was and how she was a white-eyed wolf.

“They say it’s good to have a son, but daughters bring good fortune. I raised this daughter, not only is she not lucky, she’s a jinx!”

“She cursed her father to death, and she hasn’t done anything to make me happy in all these years! She keeps harming us! She…”

Looking at her mother’s malicious and twisted face, Hu Yao’s face turned pale.

How could a mother be like this to her daughter?

“I’m a white-eyed wolf, so don’t come looking for me anymore! Treat me as if I’m not your daughter!” Hu Yao’s voice was cold and steady as she looked at her mother, interrupting her.

“From the moment you wanted to sell me, you were no longer my mother! I won’t care about your affairs anymore, and you don’t need to care about my life or death!”

Hu Guifen’s expression became even uglier, and her voice became shrill: “You can think that! Now that you’re rich, you want to abandon your family!”

She said this, and instinctively reached out to hit Hu Yao.

The familiar pain came, and the memories of her mother’s beatings and scolding flashed through her mind. Hu Yao’s eyes turned red, and the coldness in her eyes grew stronger.

Hu Guifen didn’t notice this, seeing Hu Yao stunned and not resisting, a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face.

“Forget about what happened last time, your sister’s husband’s family has a business they want to cooperate with Jiang Han. You are brothers-in-law, it’s a good thing. You should talk to your husband and say some good things about Qiao’er, give her some face in her husband’s family!” Hu Guifen revealed her main purpose for coming. She couldn’t understand why Jiang Han still had the ability to attract even the Luo family to do business with him. After Hu Qiao told her, she was surprised.

It was Hu Yao, that dead girl, who had good luck, and actually lived a good life.

Hu Yao suddenly chuckled.

“So it’s because of this.”

“Why should I help her? I said, I have nothing to do with you anymore!” Hu Yao’s face was cold.

Hu Guifen’s satisfied expression fell, and her face changed again.

Hu Yao didn’t let her hit her anymore, she blocked her mother’s hand: “If you come to me again, I’ll tell Jiang Han to deal with you!”

She knew that their reason for treating her this way was mostly because of Jiang Han. They wanted to curry favor but were also afraid, so they felt that she was the key.

They didn’t think about how they treated her!

Not only would she not help them, she would even use Jiang Han to threaten them!

Hu Guifen was furious when she heard this, her hand became even more forceful: “I’m telling you, I’m your mother, if you really want to get rid of us, wait for me to die!”

Hu Yao’s body was still sore and weak, but she pushed her mother back, and her mother fell. She pursed her lips, got up, grabbed a broom, and swung it back.

“You’re going to die, you’re going to die! You little bitch, you dare to hit me! I’m your mother! An unfilial daughter hitting her mother!” Hu Guifen widened her eyes in disbelief, she got up and tried to slap Hu Yao.

Hu Yao blocked her and pushed her away again.

This farce didn’t know how it stopped, Hu Guifen left with her curses still going.

Hu Yao clenched her fists, and under the complex gazes of others, she turned around and went back.

Jiang Han and Jiang Xiaochao came back just as this happened, and they could clearly sense her unhappiness.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Jiang Xiaochao asked softly.

“It’s nothing.” Hu Yao slowly ate her porridge, and forced a smile at him.

Jiang Han thought that her unhappiness was because of last night, she was always like this the day after they slept together.

He didn’t think much of it.

“What happened to your hand again?” He noticed the scratches on her arm, and unconsciously frowned.

It was clear that it wasn’t done by him.

Hu Yao looked down at her hand and whispered: “I accidentally did it.”

Jiang Han glanced at her drooping thick eyelashes, he grabbed her other hand and looked at it, his eyes darkened: “Who scratched you?”

“My… mother.”

Under his increasingly unhappy expression, Hu Yao whispered.

“She’s tired of living? She dares to touch my people! I’ll make her pay!” Jiang Han’s face was ugly.

He had never considered Hu Guifen as his mother-in-law. Someone who would sell her daughter, what kind of mother is she?

From the moment Hu Yao was sold to him, she was his. What business is it of Hu Guifen’s!

“She hits you and you just stand there and let her? Did your brain go bad again?” Jiang Han’s face was just as dark as hers.

“Where did she hit you?”

He had never truly hit her, but Hu Guifen was willing to, hitting people without any cost, she was the one hitting him!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Jiang Han’s eyes.

Hu Yao looked up, meeting his deep, cold eyes. The emotions inside were cold and dark, but she could clearly see her reflection in them.

His tone was bad, but she could still feel a hint of concern for her.

A strange feeling ran through her heart, Hu Yao shook her head gently.

Jiang Han didn’t believe her and pulled up her clothes to check.

Hu Yao’s face suddenly turned red again.

Jiang Xiaochao looked from one to the other, his eyes innocent and confused. When he heard Jiang Han say that Hu Yao had been beaten, he started to get angry and also leaned over to see where Hu Yao was injured.

“Jiang Fuchao, what are you looking at! Do you want to lose your eyes?”

The next moment, Jiang Xiaochao’s head was pushed away.
