Tian Xingyun inwardly cursed. She knew bringing him out would cause trouble.
She hurriedly stood in front of him, and a clump of mud accurately hit her stomach.
"Hurry home!" Tian Xingyun gestured urgently to the two children. If they didn’t leave now and he got angry, it would be disastrous.
The two children saw Tian Xingyun’s gesture and immediately took off running with all their might.
Huo Shaohua turned Tian Xingyun’s body to have a look, his face dark and somber.
The mud landed right on her belly button, staining a large part of her clothes.
"Does it hurt?" He asked worriedly, glaring fiercely at the backs of the two children running away.
What an awful village with such ill-mannered kids, randomly throwing things at people.
His children in the future absolutely couldn’t have anything to do with Huatan Village.
Otherwise, they would become those unruly kids who attack people indiscriminately.
"I’m fine, but your pants..." Tian Xingyun bit her lip, looking at his pants, which had gotten dirty with some dust from small stones.
"Are you really okay?" Huo Shaohua frowned, reaching out to touch her stomach.
He wiped away the mud with his hand. Damn those kids, if anything happened to the baby, he would certainly teach them a lesson.
"It’s just mud, it doesn’t hurt."
"Let’s go home and change clothes. The people in your village are terrible. You’re not coming back here again!" Huo Shaohua pulled her along, feeling justified in not letting her return.
"The people in our village are very nice," Tian Xingyun argued back.
"Raising kids like that, can they be considered nice?" Huo Shaohua scoffed coldly.
"That’s because you went too far with what you did before. The people in the village dislike you, including the children."
"Your villagers are greedy, willing to sell their land to me. I didn’t force anyone."
"Yes, you didn’t force anyone," Tian Xingyun admitted reluctantly. He hadn’t forced anyone.
But using money to entice the villagers—who in this world doesn’t love money?
In the end, the villagers still chose to keep their land instead of taking the money.
That’s what was the most precious.
"Are you really okay?" Huo Shaohua stared at her stomach, very worried about the baby.
"Don’t worry, my child isn’t that fragile. It’s just mud."
"Let’s hurry home and change clothes, it’s very dirty." Huo Shaohua pulled her along, striding forward.
"Wait a moment..." Tian Xingyun held his hand, unwilling to move.
"Aren’t you dirty too? Covered in mud," Huo Shaohua stopped and turned around, looking at her with displeasure.
"This isn’t the way home!" Tian Xingyun said awkwardly. She had been arguing with him and didn’t realize they took the wrong path.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Huo Shaohua’s face darkened angrily.
"You were leading the way. I thought you remembered the way."
"I forgot you have no sense of direction!" Tian Xingyun giggled, remembering his embarrassing tendency to get lost.
He was good at everything except finding his way.
She couldn’t believe she had followed him. It was ridiculous...
"Stop laughing!" Huo Shaohua gritted his teeth, threatening her harshly.
"Follow me, be careful not to get lost. Our village is big," Tian Xingyun laughed proudly, holding his hand and leading the way.
"..." She was mocking him! This damn woman.
Instead of going directly home, Tian Xingyun took another path to the vegetable garden.
She had to pick some vegetables first to avoid having to come out again later, which would be tiring.
"Why aren’t we going home?" Huo Shaohua stood beside her, displeased.
Knowing he had a poor sense of direction, this woman did whatever she pleased.
Instead of going home to change clothes, she had come here to pick vegetables.
"We’ll pick vegetables then go home. Otherwise, we’ll have to make another trip out," Tian Xingyun explained, crouching down to carefully pick the vegetables.
"Are all these vegetables yours?" Huo Shaohua pointed to the large vegetable patch in front of him.
The lush green vegetables improved his mood considerably.
