Chapter 298: Chapter 298: The Taste of Being Beaten Up by Me Chapter 298: Chapter 298: The Taste of Being Beaten Up by Me âChiang Xiao, come here, hold Erbao for me for a second. Isnât he cute? I tell you, nephews are like their uncles, I have a brotherâŠâ
While speaking, Hong Tao shoved the child into Chiang Xiaoâs arms.
The child was particularly robust and very dark, sticky with something unknown in his grasp, a thick snot hanging from his nose, waving his hands trying to grab her hair.
Chiang Xiao immediately stood up, stepping back two paces with a stern face, âWhat are you doing?â
Absurd!
Who just comes up and forces their child on someone else to hold?
Besides, she couldnât see anything cute about this child at all!
In the village, there were very few children who truly looked cute and adorable since most adults were generally busy, working in the fields, raising chickens and pigs, and might not even clean themselves up every day, let alone the children.
Many of the children were raised in a laissez-faire manner, and little attention was paid to hygiene. She knew many of the village girls had heads full of lice, some with infected, rotting sores, and there were quite a few with impetigo.
This Sun Erbao had a touch of impetigo.
âWhatâs wrong with you, Chiang Xiao? Donât scare Erbao!â Hong Taoâs face also turned dark as she said, âWhy donât you have a little love for the child?â
Chiang Xiao almost laughed in anger.
Why must she love a child that someone else shoved at her?
Even if she were kind-hearted, it wouldnât extend to such an extent.
âSun Erbaoâs mother, I canât hold a child. If you insist on me holding him, and I happen to not do it well and he falls, donât blame me.â
Hearing this, Hong Tao quickly held the child close, still looking repulsed as she said, âHow can you be incapable of even this?â
She had planned that once Chiang Xiao and Tie Dan were betrothed, she would bring Dabao and Erbao to the Chiang Family every day so that Chiang Laoer and his wife, as well as Chiang Xiao, could help look after them. Since Chiang Xiao was still young and couldnât get married even after getting engaged.
âI donât know how to take care of children. What does that have to do with you?â Chiang Xiao sneered coldly.
âHey, whatâs wrong with the way you talk?â Hong Tao glared at her and said, âChiang Xiao, Iâll have you know, I came to your house today for serious business. Answer me honestly, Have you been messing around with some man outside?â
Pfft!
As annoyed as Chiang Xiao was, she couldnât help but laugh at those words.
Big sister, who are you?
And with what right or status do you interrogate me?
Why, after just a couple of peaceful days, does the Old Chiang Family attract another oddball? Who did she offend to attract such oddities?
âHong Tao, I call you Sun Erbaoâs mother out of politeness, but do you actually think youâre my sister-in-law?â Not intending to spare any dignity, she retorted bluntly, âWho do you think you are, to question me? Take your child and scuttle back where you came from. Iâm not in a bad mood today, but you should ask Niu Guiying, whoâs hiding behind you, what it feels like to be hit by me.â
She woke up this morning feeling an excess of strength.
The Space had expanded, the Ginseng was thriving, and she was sure that her strength had gotten much stronger than the time she had hit Niu Guiying.
âYou, you, youâŠâ Hong Tao was completely taken aback by Chiang Xiaoâs boldness! She had thought that, no matter what, Chiang Xiao was just a kid and that children naturally feared adults. Besides, the Chiang Family was known in the village for being mild-mannered. She thought that by taking a tough stance, she might be able to suppress the Chiang Family and get her way.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have talked to someone like this right off the bat.
But Chiang Xiaoâs reaction was totally unexpected.
