Chapter 88: You’re Nothing to Me!

Hu Guifen, seeing someone siding with her, was unwilling to leave so easily.

Even now, she couldn’t accept the fact that Hu Yao had distanced herself from her.

All these years, Hu Yao had let her hit and scold her, doing whatever she asked. Even though she had a man like Jiang Han, with his fearsome reputation, backing her, and had experienced several instances of his retaliation, she still didn’t believe that Hu Yao would dare not acknowledge her as her mother!

“I raised you, you dare treat me like this! You heartless wretch, Hu Yao!” Hu Guifen pointed at Hu Yao and cursed, these words were often on her lips. She knew Hu Yao was pregnant now, and because she was carrying Jiang Han’s child, she held back from physically attacking her this time.

“After your father died, raising you was easy for me? Nothing cost money? Every girl gets married when she grows up! You blame me for this!” Hu Guifen completely simplified all the things she had done to belittle Hu Yao over the years, as if she were a loving and caring mother.

She was indeed a good mother, just not to Hu Yao! If she was accused of favoring sons over daughters, then her preference for Hu Qiao completely shattered that claim.

“It’s not me blaming you! It’s you blaming me!” Hu Yao couldn’t hold it back anymore, her voice rising as she interrupted her. “You started blaming me after Dad died! You beat me, you scolded me, you even left me alone on the mountain and told me never to come back!”

Mentioning the incident that still deeply stung her, even now, Hu Yao’s eyes turned slightly red.

She was pampered by her father when she was young. After Hu Guifen changed her attitude towards her, why did she become so obedient? It was because Hu Guifen not only beat and scolded her, but also once, in the middle of the night, coaxed her and deceived her, saying she was taking her to find her father. However, she took her to the mountain and left the young her alone there. She cried for a long time, calling for her, but there was no response, she was helpless and scared.

If not for a hunter who happened to find her in the mountains and, out of kindness, sent her back, the young her would have probably died in the unfamiliar and dark mountains.

At that time, she still didn’t know why Hu Guifen had done that to her. After she returned, she learned to please her in every way, working hard and obediently, but the love she had once received never returned. She was often beaten and scolded, and if she displeased her in the slightest, she would be punished by being forced to work in the yard in thin clothes on cold winter nights, not allowed to sleep.

Her heart didn’t turn cold overnight, but all these years, she still had a ridiculous hope buried deep in her heart.

Besides Jiang Xiaochao, no one liked her, no one loved her.

“I’ve said it clearly! You’re not my mother, and I’m not your daughter!” Hu Yao clenched her fist, pushing the slightly stunned woman out forcefully.

The Wang family, who were also driven out, were very unhappy. They were angry at her for throwing their luggage, and Jiang Guihua, in disbelief, cursed at Hu Yao, relying on her age to refuse to leave.

“You were bought, how dare you drive us, the real Jiang family, out! I’d be doing you a favor by not kicking you out!”

“Don’t think that giving birth to two children for Ah Han makes you invincible! When he comes back, I’ll tell him, and you’ll be kicked out immediately! You won’t find a good family to marry into!” Jiang Guihua spoke with a loud voice.

“Old hag! You get out! This is my home!” Jiang Xiaochao had just gone to Song Si-kai’s house to complain and came back to see the house in a mess. Jiang Guihua was still daring to point at Hu Yao and scold her, his little face sank.

“You dirty things! You don’t wash, you stink, your mouths stink too! When my dad comes back, I’ll have him beat you to death!” Jiang Xiaochao ran to Hu Yao and protected her, cursing angrily.

The weather was cold, and the Wang family had been here for many days, and they hadn’t washed for those many days.

“Xiaochao, your aunt has been putting up with you for a long time! Do you have any manners, how do you talk to your elders? Did your mother teach you that? It’s because your mother was stupid for a few years and didn’t teach you well! When you go out in the future, others…” Jiang Guihua couldn’t help but talk about Jiang Xiaochao, feeling that they had been patient enough these past few days.

“Ah!!”

She didn’t finish her sentence before she screamed in horror.

Hu Yao was actually hitting her with a stick! How dare she hit her, an elder!

“You’re crazy! You slut!” Jiang Guihua’s initial kind face was completely torn apart at this moment.

Hu Yao grabbed the stick that Jiang Han usually kept by the door to beat Jiang Xiaochao with, and continued to swing it down on her, her expression eerie.

Her Xiaochao was not a bad child!

“Your two grandsons, you, all of you Wang family, are truly shameless and ill-mannered!”

“You make me sick! I’m not vomiting because I’m pregnant, I’m vomiting because I see you! You’re truly disgusting!”

Hu Yao said coldly, word by word, “You said I even treat my own mother like this, so what are you to me?”

Jiang Guihua was momentarily stunned, allowing Hu Yao to swing the stick on her several times. The clothes were thick, and she didn’t feel much pain when it hit her, but she didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but the few hits on her neck and hands were burning hot!

And then, she saw blood!

The stick had spikes!

Jiang Guihua screamed and shouted, the Wang family came to their senses and rushed forward to push Hu Yao.

Jiang Xiaochao saw Hu Yao pick up the spiked stick that his father usually used to scare him but hadn’t used on him yet, and he was stunned for a few seconds. Seeing the Wang family going to push Hu Yao, he got angry again and rushed forward, ready to bite them.

“You try to touch my mom!” He shouted loudly, imitating Jiang Han’s way of speaking.

The Wang family’s dissatisfaction with Hu Yao had reached its peak. Hearing Jiang Guihua’s screams of pain and calls for them to teach Hu Yao a lesson, they immediately swarmed forward.

“Really, every family has these disgusting things.”

As Wang Juanping, who was running the fastest, was about to swing her hand down on Hu Yao with a vicious look, Du Xiumei, who had come with Jiang Xiaochao, stepped forward quickly, her eyes sharp and her hands quick, blocking her hand and twisting it back.

“Ah!! It hurts, it hurts! Let go!” Wang Juanping immediately cried out in pain, screaming and shouting.

Du Xiumei took out the small knife she always carried with her and hit her in the face, her expression impatient, “You’re so noisy, can you be quiet?”

The Wang family saw her taking out a knife, and then saw her agile movements just now, and they were momentarily stunned.

“Sister, you’re really, too kind, too easy to bully. –>>

“Du Ximei sighed, turning to face Hu Yao with her usual charming tone, her dimples showing as she smiled.

Hu Yao was slightly stunned.

Du Ximei flung the terrified Wang Juanping away, grabbed Jiang Guihua’s collar: “Old hag, do you think you’re too important? You have the nerve to live off others, dragging your family along, eating, drinking, and doing your business in their house, and you still dare to treat the pregnant mistress like this?”

“I can’t stand you rotten people! If you act up again, I’ll tear your skin off!”

Her grip was strong, her expression dark and menacing, not seeming like a lie. Du Ximei, who was smaller than Jiang Guihua, revealed a slender wrist, wearing the silver bracelet Hu Yao had given her.

But she was lifting Jiang Guihua with one hand!

For a moment, the Wang family didn’t dare to step forward. The mixed-up, the lazy, the fearful, the ruthless, even Jiang Guihua, who had just felt the force of Du Ximei’s anger, cowered and dared not speak.
