Chapter 61 Can You Be a Little More Restrained

He glared at her, his eyes sweeping over the curves of her body outlined by her dress. The thought of her walking out like this for another man made him furious.

“I’m twenty years old.” Hu Yao’s expression turned slightly aggrieved as she faced his scolding.

Jiang Han choked, almost forgetting.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Xiaochao protested: “Why are you yelling at Mom?”

“Mom isn’t ugly at all, she’s beautiful!” He sincerely praised her, but it was a bit of a flattery.

“Dad is ugly! He doesn’t shave anymore!” He said this seriously.

“Like Wangcai.”

Wangcai was an old, scruffy dog at the head of the village.

Jiang Han blacked out and picked him up, giving him a good scolding.

In the end, Hu Yao still went out wearing that dress. Jiang Han also shaved his beard and changed into another, less casual outfit.

He also put a two-finger-wide gold bracelet on Hu Yao’s wrist, which was very eye-catching.

Hu Yao didn’t really want to wear it. She had never worn such things before and was not used to it.

The gold bracelet was solid and a bit heavy.

“Just leave it at home, it’s not safe to wear it out.” She said to him.

“I’m standing right next to you, who’s unsafe?” His tone was a bit arrogant.

That’s true… Hu Yao looked at his tall and sturdy figure and then looked away.

The family of three went out, looking stylish.

Some villagers who encountered them couldn’t help but notice the dazzling gold bracelet on Hu Yao’s hand. For a while, many people felt envious and jealous.

“Some people really think that if they flatter and serve people long enough, others will really treat them as their own. They live a comfortable and fortunate life, and they only give a little money from their fingers to beggars. But some people would rather give money to beggars than to certain people!”

Li Zhen said sarcastically, clearly referring to Lin Zhaodi.

In the past, she might have disliked Hu Yao, but she looked down on and despised Lin Zhaodi even more. Recently, Lin Zhaodi had been feeling smug and had repeatedly mocked her because of her pregnancy. She hated her even more.

Seeing that Hu Yao didn’t interact much with Lin Zhaodi lately and that her attitude towards her had become colder, she had also been mocking her a lot.

Lin Zhaodi’s face turned pale, and her eyes darkened as she looked at her.

She did tell Hu Yao that Xiaoya’s father had no work to do, and she did want Hu Yao to help. It would be very easy for Jiang Han.

During the four years when Hu Yao was not well, their relationship in Taowan Village was the best. She had genuinely cared for her!

The money Jiang Han gave to Li Zhuangzhi was enough for her and Xiaoya’s father to pay back for several years, but for Jiang Han, it was nothing at all.

They didn’t intend to not pay it back, but why didn’t she want Hu Yao to help a little bit? Why did she alienate her for such a small matter? Had she forgotten how good their relationship was before? Had she forgotten how carefully she took care of her?

During those years, she was called a dog-leg for taking care of her, for flattering a fool! She didn’t care, but now that she was better, she actually started to alienate her and forget the past! She wasn’t as good as she thought!

Lin Zhaodi felt very uncomfortable, and after being provoked by Li Zhen’s words, she became even more gloomy.

“Some people are the same! They think they are still precious, what city people, they are just hens who can’t lay eggs! When there is something good, they still rush to flatter, how dare they talk about others! The people in their family are not good either, they are all low-class scum!” Lin Zhaodi sneered.

Since she became pregnant, she had completely cleared the accusations that had made people speechless in the past, and her life had become calmer and more stable. She had more confidence, so why should she let people point fingers at her?

“Who are you calling low-class scum! Lin Zhaodi, you slut!” Li Zhen’s face darkened, and she pointed at her and cursed: “You slut, you should keep your tail between your legs and say nothing when others say you. You are still so proud to show off that you are carrying a wild child! The Li family didn’t beat you to death back then, it was your good luck!”

If it weren’t for a fool like Hu Yao who helped Lin Zhaodi, Lin Zhaodi would have been beaten to death. No one would sympathize with such a promiscuous slut!

“How could Jiang Han let Hu Yao get close to a woman like you who is a slut who wears green hats for men! Now that Hu Yao has come to her senses, she wouldn’t be friends with a slut like you!” Li Zhen was full of sarcasm.

Lin Zhaodi’s eyes darkened, and she slapped her, her voice sharp: “Who is the slut! Who is carrying a wild child!”

“Ah! Lin Zhaodi! You bitch, you dare to hit me!” Li Zhen reacted, yelled, her eyes burning with fire, and she raised her hand to hit back.

In no time, the two women were fighting, and there were many people watching, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

The scope of their fight expanded, and several aunts and grandmothers even took a few steps back, only moving their lips.

“Stop fighting, stop fighting.”

“What’s there to fight about.”

“It’s all the truth.”

…

Hu Yao didn’t know what had happened in Taowan Village, and she was seriously eating with Jiang Xiaochao.

She only found out after coming with Jiang Han that this was the county magistrate’s family’s celebratory banquet. His grandson was celebrating his full moon, and the banquet was low-key and elegant. Not many people were invited, but from the casual conversation, it could be heard that each person was not ordinary.

She had heard that Jiang Han had wide connections and knew many people. Today, she saw a glimpse of it. After he arrived, he was very familiar with many people, and the county magistrate was also polite and kind to him, even making a joke saying that he finally dared to bring his wife and children out.

So it turned out that he wasn’t just friends with those hooligans like Song Sikai.

No wonder the Luo family wanted to curry favor with him…

Hu Yao took a sip of soup and glanced at him again, who was still chatting with others in the distance, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

“I’m just a rough person, not as good as you said. I’ve done a lot of reckless things in the past…”

“Just trying to make a living and support my family.”

“They’re making a fuss, I’m afraid it will cause you trouble.”

An old woman with a kind face stood in front of Jiang Han, talking to him about something. Jiang Han’s tone and expression were unusually polite and respectful.

As he spoke, he seemed to sense her gaze and glanced over, seeing her shocked expression, he narrowed his eyes and gave her a warning look.

Hu Yao lowered her head and continued to drink her soup. The empty seat next to her was his, and it was a while before he returned.

Hu Yao didn’t know anyone else at the table, but they were all very warm and friendly. The women were especially thoughtful, and they didn’t leave Hu Yao out when they chatted.

Jiang Xiaochao was born delicate and cute, he was very well-behaved in front of Hu Yao, and everyone who saw him was filled with joy. When they chatted with Hu Yao, they said with a smile that he didn’t look like Jiang Han at all.

Then they felt a little inappropriate and added two sentences, saying that his eyes were very similar to Jiang Han’s, and the rest resembled Hu Yao, most boys resemble their mothers.

Jiang Xiaochao was seriously gnawing on a chicken leg, completely unconcerned about whether people said he looked like his father or his mother, but when they said he looked like a little girl, he was unhappy and wanted to pull down his pants to show them that he was a boy.

Before he could do this embarrassing act, Jiang Han, with a slightly dark face, had the foresight to hold him down.

“Jiang Fuchao, can you be a little more restrained?”
