Chapter 52: Why Aren’t You Smiling?

He was incredibly moody. Hu Yao glanced at him and withdrew her hand.

Tomorrow they would move back to Taowan Village. After dinner, Hu Yao started packing.

The new house was built, and they needed to have a feast to celebrate.

Jiang Han invited the neighbors and some of his brothers.

It was a lively gathering. The neighbors were enthusiastic and helped out.

The newly built kitchen was spacious, but it couldn’t accommodate so many people. They set up simple tables in the courtyard.

The lively atmosphere always dispelled the gloom of everyday life. This was the first time the neighbors had been so close to Jiang Han. Today, seeing him tease Hu Yao and laugh, they all felt that he was approachable and not the notorious Jiang Han.

Most of the young wives, seeing the scene, were envious of Hu Yao.

Jiang Han wasn’t like what people said, he was very caring towards his wife, even refusing to let her do any work.

He could make money and was affectionate towards his wife. Jiang Han’s reputation quickly improved among the young wives.

Hu Yao didn’t know what they were thinking. She gave a chicken leg to Jiang Xiaochao, who was covering his stomach and complaining of hunger.

“. Chaochao, go play with your dad.” She was brewing tea and worried that Jiang Xiaochao would accidentally bump into her while jumping around.

“Okay.” Jiang Xiaochao held the chicken leg and nodded obediently.

Jiang Han was talking business with his brothers. Except for Song Sikai, she didn’t recognize many of them.

She brought over a pot of tea. Many people called her “sister-in-law.”

Hu Yao politely smiled and nodded in response.

Jiang Han urged her: “Go play with Jiang Fu-chao.”

She had just sent Jiang Xiaochao to him, and now he was telling her to go find Jiang Xiaochao. Obviously, he had chased Jiang Xiaochao away as well!

Hu Yao glared at him, didn’t want to stay there, and turned to leave.

“Brother Han, having a wife is different. She won’t rush up and slap you anymore! Sigh.” The man seemed to be a little regretful.

Jiang Han: “…”

“You can shut your mouth!” His face darkened.

“What? Hu Yao, that woman, dared to slap Brother Han? When did that happen?” Song Sikai, who had been daydreaming, came to his senses. He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked.

“Brother, did you hit back?” He asked before waiting for an answer.

Jiang Han’s face turned completely black. He didn’t want to talk about this topic. Tang Haofei, with his loose lips, and Song Sikai, the loudmouth, would spread the news about him being slapped by Hu Yao!

“Get lost! I’ll beat you up later!”

“Hu Yao… sister-in-law slapped you, why are you beating me?” Song Sikai was unconvinced and reluctantly changed his address for Hu Yao.

“Why don’t you just fall into the sea? I told you to do something important, but you went out to flirt with girls?” Jiang Han rolled his eyes.

“Right, right! I told him to come back, but he wouldn’t! He’s just out there fooling little girls, tsk tsk tsk.” Tang Haofei chimed in.

“What fooling? I’m going to marry her and bring her home as my wife!” Song Sikai became serious, his expression solemn and earnest.

“That’s strange. When you bring her back, we’ll take a look and see what kind of person she is.” Tang Haofei took a sip of tea and said leisurely. He had been classmates with Jiang Han in their childhood. After Jiang Han dropped out of school, they lost contact. But later, by chance, they ended up hanging out together again.

Song Sikai had grown up with Jiang Han.

They were the closest brothers, and they had all “reformed” together in recent years.

“What are you looking at? My wife is not for you to look at!?” Song Sikai looked at him with disdain, his words full of protectiveness. Where was the attitude of saying that brothers were more important than wives?

Jiang Han raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and leisurely poured himself a cup of tea: “If you can’t control her one day, I’ll discipline her for you!”

Song Sikai hadn’t even brought his wife back yet, and he was already getting anxious: “She’s not well, don’t scare her when I bring her back!”

“It’s about to rain red!” Seeing his appearance, Tang Haofei kept clicking his tongue. He couldn’t help but sigh. Sure enough, men were different once they had wives. Jiang Han, with his temperament, could be so tolerant towards Hu Yao. Even Song Sikai, the simpleton, knew how to be considerate!

“You cherish her so much? I’m getting more and more curious! What kind of girl could win you over?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Sikai immediately became alert, looking at him like a beast. His brotherhood was severed: “From now on, we don’t need to contact each other unless it’s important!”

Tang Haofei changed girlfriends every month, and he was a real scoundrel. His wife was so good, who knows what might happen!

“…”

Hu Yao didn’t know what the four big men were talking about. Jiang Xiaochao’s little hands were dirty from eating the chicken leg, and she patiently wiped them clean.

Seeing other children coveting the food, she smiled and went to get them a bowl of freshly baked braised pork.

They were delighted and surrounded her, chattering happily.

Children’s happiness is simple. They can be happy for a long time as long as they have food and toys.

Jiang Han looked at her from afar, surrounded by a group of little ones, her smile radiant, and found it pleasing to the eye. He couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.

He hadn’t seen her smile at him like this for a long time, and he felt a sense of imbalance in his heart.

This imbalance was becoming increasingly obvious.

“I have to say, sister-in-law is really beautiful. . Chaochao looks like his mother. He looks like a little girl when he’s not talking.”

Seeing Jiang Han staring in one direction for so long, Tang Haofei followed his gaze and said a few words.

He wasn’t married and didn’t like children, but he liked Jiang Xiaochao’s arrogance and fearlessness at such a young age. He found him interesting and treated him like half a son.

“Don’t come to my house anymore if you have nothing to do.” Jiang Han retracted his gaze and said to him.

Tang Haofei: “…”

Don’t think he doesn’t know. One by one, they’re treating him like a scoundrel just because he said a few words! He may not be a good person, but he still knows that a brother’s wife is off-limits–>>

…

This joining meal not only had a feast of dishes, but also enough wine, everyone ate and drank with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Han and the other men sat at one table drinking, Hu Yao, Jiang Xiaochao and the other children, and Lin Zhaodi sat at another table.

The dishes were made by a chef hired from a restaurant, they tasted great, Hu Yao loved the braised pork, and the children also liked it very much.

Jiang Xiaochao was very busy, helping her “grab food”.

Hu Yao couldn’t help but smile again.

Xiao Ya was also at their table, she wasn’t as skilled as Jiang Xiaochao with a spoon, she ate a bit messy, Lin Zhaodi smiled and cleaned up for her, and then gave her some food.

Jiang Han didn’t know how much wine he had drunk, they were still drinking while the other tables had finished eating and drinking.

Song Sikai was already drunk, muttering about his wife.

When did he have a wife? Hu Yao was a little curious.

Regardless of the few drunkards, she and the other village women cleaned up the dishes, bowls, tables, and chairs.

As she was wiping the table, she was suddenly grabbed.

He, drunk and reeking of alcohol, pinched her face, his hazy, deep eyes were unpleasant: “Smile, why aren’t you smiling?”

“Smile at me!”

“…”

Under the gossiping and watching eyes of everyone, Hu Yao really couldn’t smile.
