Chapter 06: Is She Okay?

Speaking of which, Lin Zhaodi talked about something else.

Hu Yao was washing Jiang Xiao’s little clothes in her hands, pursing her lips. This time she hit her head, it was inseparable from the Hu family.

Hu Guifen clearly sold her to Jiang Han, it was completely different from the situation of ordinary families marrying their daughters. How could she still have the nerve to take advantage of her being stupid and coax her to take advantage of her!

Yesterday, she was familiar with the sharp words she had heard while she was unconscious, and they were clearer now.

Hu Yao thought about it, the curve of her chest rose slightly. She still couldn’t be indifferent to the fact that she had sold her. She was her own mother, how could she really treat her like this!

If she had never experienced her kindness to her in her childhood, maybe she would have been completely numb and indifferent.

After all, she still had expectations for Hu Guifen in her heart.

Hu Yao’s eyes turned red, and she suppressed the sourness in her heart.

Lin Zhaodi didn’t notice her discomfort. She washed all the clothes for the family quickly. Seeing Hu Yao dawdling and not finished washing, she went up to help her wash.

“You’re really used to serving people! The family can’t do without you! What good did the Jiang family give you? You go to flatter them every day. Hurry up and go back to dry the clothes and weed the field!”

Li Pozi, Lin Zhaodi’s mother-in-law, passed by and saw this scene. She pulled a long face and shouted loudly at Lin Zhaodi, her face was very ugly.

Li Pozi had only one son, Li Zhuangzhi. Lin Zhaodi’s inability to give birth to a son was a thorn in her heart. If the Li family didn’t have the conditions to marry a new wife, she would have already kicked Lin Zhaodi out of the house.

“What are you still lingering for! You just know how to play tricks and be lazy all day long. I don’t know what sin the Li family has committed to have you as a wife!”

Li Pozi didn’t care about the faces of others watching the show, she didn’t give Lin Zhaodi any face.

“I, I know.” Lin Zhaodi glanced at Hu Yao, feeling a little embarrassed.

Hu Yao comforted her by holding her cold hand. Looking at Li Pozi’s dissatisfied and sarcastic face, her heart sank.

Lin Zhaodi soon left with the basin of clean clothes. Li Pozi stood there watching her go, and then glanced at Hu Yao squatting by the river. Her ordinary and simple clothes couldn’t hide her graceful figure.

“She’s also a lucky one. If she hadn’t given birth to a son, she would have been thrown out and killed long ago. She looks like a vixen! She deserves to have a broken brain! Why didn’t she just die and be done with it!”

Li Pozi spoke frankly, without any intention of avoiding Hu Yao. She looked down on Hu Yao because two years ago, her nephew from her natal family had taken a fancy to Hu Yao. He was lustful and wanted to do something to her, but Jiang Han found out and beat her nephew half to death and threw him into a ditch.

Before that, Li Pozi and her natal family had all pleaded for mercy, but it was useless. Li Pozi, like everyone else, was afraid of Jiang Han, but Hu Yao was different. She was a fool, and others could say whatever they wanted to her, and she wouldn’t know what was going on. So Li Pozi didn’t see Jiang Xiao, who was about to tell tales, beside her, and she spoke without any scruples.

Hu Yao wrung out the water from the clothes and turned her head to look at her quietly, without saying a word.

Li Pozi was stunned by her clear eyes. Hu Yao’s eyes were not only beautiful, but also bright and clear. When she looked at people quietly, it was as if she could reveal all the filth and darkness in their hearts.

Li Pozi, along with the others, didn’t know that Hu Yao had been knocked clear-headed by this bump.

Being looked at like this, Li Pozi was inexplicably annoyed. She snorted coldly and walked away.

Hu Yao pursed her lips and continued to wring out the remaining clothes.

“Hu Yao! What I told you just now isn’t over yet!”

Hu Yao was about to leave after washing the clothes, but was stopped by Li Dahua.

Li Dahua was Li Pozi’s cousin, and she was married to Li Pozi’s nephew from her natal family.

Before, her husband had caused a big fuss, and Li Dahua had always held a grudge against Hu Yao. She also thought that the biggest reason was that Hu Yao seduced her husband.

Hu Yao couldn’t remember these things now. Li Dahua had come to her door this morning to scold her and Jiang Xiaochao, which had already made her unhappy. Now she was stopping her again.

“Oh, you fool, you even know how to wash clothes today.” Li Dahua saw the clean clothes in her basin and was a little surprised, but she didn’t think much of it. Then she yelled at her, “I’m being generous and not holding it against your son. But you have to compensate for the things that were broken in my house!”

This wasn’t the first time she had bullied Hu Yao in private. When she found out that Hu Yao was so stupid that she wouldn’t tell Jiang Han, she became even bolder.

“Your chicken, bring it over to me! And don’t follow…”

“Xiaochao’s broken what in your house?” Hu Yao interrupted her, her eyes calm as she asked.

Li Dahua was chattering endlessly, completely ignoring what she said. It wasn’t until Hu Yao looked at her quietly for a long time that she couldn’t ignore her gaze.

She met her clear eyes, and Li Dahua realized something. She slowly widened her eyes too.

Hu Yao’s appearance now was different from before, and it was normal.

Is she okay?

Hu Yao wasn’t born a fool, she was a famous beauty. She was knocked silly by the bump, and now she’s been knocked again, it’s not uncommon for her to be okay.

“Xiaochao’s broken what in your house?” Hu Yao asked again.

Li Dahua was guilty. Listening to her simple questions, she understood completely that she was really okay.

Jiang Xiaochao actually didn’t break anything in her house, but he did hit her son. She was angry and wanted to find trouble with Hu Yao as she had done several times before.

But now she’s okay, maybe she’ll even settle the score with her!

Li Dahua thought about this, and remembered the way Jiang Han hit her husband hard, she broke out in a cold sweat, scared and hurried away.

Hu Yao looked at her inexplicably without a word, and ran as if she was being chased by a dog. She was silent for a moment, and didn’t chase after her to ask questions. She held the large wooden basin and went home.

The wooden basins at home were very large, each one was so wide. She had trouble carrying it.

Jiang Xiaochao said it was made by Jiang Han.

“Yaoyao, you’re back!”

She pushed open the door going inside, Jiang Xiaochao, who was plucking feathers in the courtyard, immediately lifted his little head and called out to her in a childish voice.

He had originally wanted to go wash clothes with Hu Yao, but he also wanted to stay home and help pluck the wild chicken feathers by himself. With Lin Zhaodi and Hu Yao going out together, he wasn’t as worried.

“Hmm.” Looking at his bright smile, Hu Yao curved her lips and went over to remove the fluff that had accidentally gotten on his head.

While she was washing clothes, he had actually finished plucking the wild chicken feathers at home. Now, his little eyes held a faint expectation of praise.

“Xiaochao is so good.” Hu Yao praised him with a smile.

Jiang Xiaochao slightly raised his chin, looking proud, but the words that came out of his small mouth were a little humble: “Not really, I can help Yaoyao with a lot of things!”

Hu Yao laughed softly, the scattered light in her eyes growing brighter. Her voice was soft as she replied: “Good.”

She should have responded like this, but she wasn’t the same silly girl she was before. How could she really let a three-year-old do everything?
