Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2199: Chapter 2197: Just Messing with You

Jiang Yichun’s face turned even darker, now blacker than coal. What did she mean by ”where did you die”? This must be something Ruozhu taught Dengdeng.

Is that how you talk about your husband? If she hadn’t come looking for him anxiously, he would really think his woman had changed her mind and was ready to remarry.

Bai Ruozhu observed his expression and thought, you’re upset over just a few words? Did you even consider my feelings when you were fooling around with Fo Lanying back then?

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Jiang Yichun and said, ”Weren’t you going to be together forever with her? Didn’t you say the Quanrong Princess was more useful to you? Where is she?”

The sarcasm was thick in her tone. How could Jiang Yichun not catch it? He felt quite frustrated, thinking, I would like to answer you, but first, you have to unseal my acupoint!

Bai Ruozhu ignored his look and absolutely refused to unseal his acupoint. Is he uncomfortable now? Back then, he ran off after saying his piece, leaving her with a stomach full of words and no one to talk to. Now let him taste what that feels like!

Little Dengdeng looked at his father, then his mother, and merely thought that the world of adults was so hard to understand. His dad came home looking darker, not to mention upsetting his mom. Indeed, being too dark didn’t seem to earn much affection.

So Little Dengdeng decided that no matter what, he could not allow himself to tan into a lump of coal. Otherwise, his mother wouldn’t like it, and his future wife wouldn’t either.

It was only then Dengdeng noticed that his father hadn’t said a word. He hugged his father’s leg and asked, ”Dad, why aren’t you talking? Have you become mute? Or is your tongue broken? Mom said if your tongue is broken, you can’t talk.”

Little Dengdeng asked with pure innocence, while Jiang Yichun had a line of black across his face. He looked at Bai Ruozhu beside him, then pointed to his mouth, to indicate it was his mother who made him like this.

Little Dengdeng was already smart, and he immediately got what his dad meant. He then looked at his mom, then obediently said to Jiang Yichun, ”It must be because you ran off last time and upset Mom. Mom is the most reasonable; you should apologize properly, otherwise I can’t help you either.”

As he said this, he spread his small hands in a helpless gesture, looking so adorable, but Jiang Yichun couldn’t muster a smile at all.

He was very worried that being so close to his little woman and son would cause the Vein Curse to affect them. Even if there was only a one percent chance, he dared not take the risk.

He himself had no more than three years to live, so he hoped even more that his wife and son could live long, happy lives.

Thinking of this, his body shrank back a bit, with a tinge of avoidance, which, in Bai Ruozhu’s eyes, turned into disdain for their mother and child, wanting to distance himself.

Bai Ruozhu burned with rage and, with a leap, smacked Jiang Yichun on the head, angrily saying, ”What do you mean? Are you tired of us already?”

Jiang Yichun had never been hit on the head directly by Bai Ruozhu before; he was dumbstruck. In just a few days of not seeing her, his wife had turned so violent. When did a wife hit her husband’s head?

He was a bit angry too, glaring at Bai Ruozhu. He raised his hand to press against Bai Ruozhu’s forehead as she tried to charge forward, separating her from himself.

Unable to speak, he mouthed to Bai Ruozhu, ”Calm down.”

Bai Ruozhu discerned his lip movements and said furiously, ”Calm down? Calm down my ass! You left us with just a few words and disappeared for so long. How am I supposed to calm down? What are you hiding from me?”

Jiang Yichun pointed to his mouth, mouthing, ”I can’t even talk, how can I explain it to you?”

The sentence was too long, and Bai Ruozhu didn’t catch it all, but seeing his gestures, she guessed the gist.

Rolling her eyes, Bai Ruozhu said, ”It’s only been a short time since the mute acupoint was pressed. Just endure it well, and when it’s nearly undone, I’ll press it again. Who told you to speak unclearly and then take off? You’ll just have to suffer this punishment!”

What does feeling uncomfortable mean? It’s when you clearly have things to say but can’t speak, and the other person simply won’t let you talk, especially when they’re nagging and you simply can’t retort.

Now Jiang Yichun understood; this woman was out to torment him.

Dengdeng, on the side, covered his mouth and giggled. Watching his mom and dad argue was the most entertaining; he didn’t care and went off to find his little Tutu to play with.

Bai Ruozhu pried off Jiang Yichun’s hand from her forehead and gave him an angry kick, saying, ”Weren’t you going to leave with Fo Lanying? Where’d she go? Did you toss her aside and go looking for some princess?”

Hands on her hips, she continued, ”It’s fine, you don’t need to explain. I don’t want to hear you talk now anyway, since you never tell me the truth. When you feel like being honest, we can leave here; if not, we’ll stay here for life.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yichun got anxious. Being trapped here for life was fine for him, but with only three years to live, Bai Ruozhu and Dengdeng staying with him would be too dangerous.

If both of them were affected by the curse, he would truly have wronged his wife and child.

With that in mind, he composed himself and thought it was necessary to have a good chat with Ruozhu. But should he really tell her about this? He thought of making up a story to deceive Ruozhu, but she was so smart. How could she be so easily fooled? If she were, she wouldn’t have appeared here in the first place.

Feeling drained, Jiang Yichun sat to the side, his head in chaos, not knowing what to do. Bai Ruozhu ignored him, busying herself with grilling fish, fetching ingredients from the Space. Even if Jiang Yichun wasn’t eating, she and their son still needed to have a meal.

Of course, she’d prepared to cook the meal so deliciously, yet refused to share it with Jiang Yichun, so that he would sit there and drool.

But when the meal was ready, Bai Ruozhu called her son to eat, but Jiang Yichun didn’t come over, sitting silently, lost in thought.

Little Dengdeng, however, secretly slipped some food behind his mother’s back, sneaking it over to his father.

Bai Ruozhu watched everything unfold, grinding her teeth in frustration. Her son indeed favored his father, sneaking off to give him food.

Jiang Yichun, preoccupied and sulking, stubbornly refused to eat, repeatedly gesturing to Dengdeng to stop.

Bai Ruozhu was even more displeased and said to Little Dengdeng, ”Dengdeng, come here. Don’t waste food. If you don’t eat, give it to Xiaohei. Don’t give it to those unimportant people.”

This made Little Dengdeng anxious, and he said in a distressed voice, ”Mom, Dad’s not an unimportant person; he’s my dad!”

Bai Ruozhu felt a twinge of bitterness inside, retorting in a pout, ”He doesn’t even remember he’s your dad. What’s the point of thinking about him? He’s grown up now. If he doesn’t eat, let him starve; it’s not like he’ll starve to death.”
