Chapter 15 Am I Unworthy?
"What?"
Huo Jingye was shocked again: "You even call me Big Brother? So why don't you call me Second Brother? Am I unworthy?"
Ginger Tea: “!”
Huo Tingkun slapped Huo Jingye on the back of the head again, "Could you please stop getting so jumpy? You scared your Aunt Ye and your sister."
Sure enough, Jiang Cha was so frightened by his sudden words that she dropped her chopsticks.
Ye Surong patted her chest and angrily said, "If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why do you always hit the child?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't drop the chopsticks on purpose!"
Jiang Cha hurriedly squatted down to pick up the chopsticks, but before she could move her butt off the chair, her slender wrist was grabbed by Huo Jingchuan.
"It's not your fault."
He glared at Huo Jingye, who gave him an ingratiating smile: "I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up, Sister Chacha. I'm naturally loud, I'm sorry if I scared you!"
Huo Jingye picked up the chopsticks that fell on the ground, threw them into the kitchen sink, and got a new pair of chopsticks for Jiang Cha.
He has been the little bully in the family since he was a child. Now that there is a delicate and soft sister in the family, although he is happy and proud, he has not figured out how to get along with his sister!
Huo Jingye decided that from now on, he would come home to live every day. With his personality that everyone loves and flowers bloom wherever he goes, he didn't believe that he could lose to Huo Jingchuan in the position in Jiang Cha's heart.
"Come here, sister. I got you a new pair of chopsticks. You are so thin, you need to eat more."
Huo Jingye stuffed the chopsticks into Jiang Cha's hand and started picking up food for her.
After the meal, Huo Jingye became the busiest person at the table.
While eating, he praised Jiang Cha's cooking skills and kept putting the dishes he thought were delicious into Jiang Cha's bowl.
The bowls of ginger tea were piled high and we couldn't finish them all.
This was a treatment she had never received in front of the Jiang family before, and Jiang Cha ate it with great effort.
Huo Jingchuan spread out his hands and covered her bowl with them.
"If you can't finish it, then don't eat it. Huo Jingye is a fool, are you stupid too?"
Huo Jingye pointed at Huo Jingchuan, his fingers trembling.
"You, you, you, Huo Jingchuan, please stop ruining my reputation in front of my sister. How am I stupid?"
Huo Jingye always has a magical power that can make people relax, and Jiang Cha was also helped to relax a lot after this meal with him.
She smiled with her eyes curved and nodded in agreement, "Second brother is very smart, not stupid at all!"
Huo Jingchuan smiled!
Very good, Huo Jingye just picked a few dishes for her, and she betrayed him?
It was a waste of the big chicken drumstick he brought back for her at noon.
Little heartless.
Huo Jingchuan pushed the dishes forward and said, "I'm full, smart second brother. You'll be the one washing the dishes today."
"Leave it to me." Huo Jingye patted his chest. It was his time to show his ability!
Jiang Cha quickly responded, "Let me do it!"
"No, he still knows how to wash dishes." Huo Tingkun happily took Ye Surong's hand and stood up. "We just moved to a new place. You should go to bed early tonight. I will get off work early tomorrow and take you and your mother out for a walk to familiarize yourself with the environment."
The things they bought today are still piled up in the living room.
Huo Tingkun found a carpenter and he will come to the house tomorrow to measure the dimensions and make cabinets and bookshelves.
After taking a shower, Jiang Cha lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She simply got up, turned on the light, took out a medical book she brought from home, and half-lying on the bed to read it.
After a while, Ye Surong knocked on her door.
I got up and opened the door. Ye Surong came over with a pillow in her arms. "Cha Cha, can mommy sleep with you tonight?"
Jiang Cha smiled with a dimple, "Of course!"
She turned the book upside down on the bedside table, turned off the light, and lay down with Ye Surong.
Ye Surong was sleeping on her side, facing her, and whispered, "Cha Cha, do you like it here?"
Jiang Cha thought about this problem seriously.
Finally, she came to a conclusion.
She just likes to be with her mother.
"It's only our first day here, so I can't say I like it, but it feels pretty good."
There are many people here, and it is more lively than the Ye family before. Although having a large number of people has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages.
I'm new to Jiang Cha and don't know anyone, so it's hard for me to comment much.
"So do you like Uncle Huo's family?"
"Uncle Huo's family is very nice, I like them very much!"
This is true, Jiang Cha answered straightforwardly.
"As long as you like it!" Ye Surong felt relieved. "If someone had told me a week ago that I would divorce Jiang Guodong and marry Huo Tingkun in a week, I would definitely not have believed it. But fate is really something magical. No one knows what kind of changes your life will encounter in the next second."
Ye Surong held Jiang Cha's hand. "It's true that I still like Huo Tingkun, but Cha Cha, you are my daughter. No one will replace you in my heart. I will prioritize your feelings. So, if you encounter anything unpleasant here, or meet someone who makes you unhappy, you must tell me immediately. I can give up marriage, but I will not give up you."
Even Ye Surong herself felt uneasy about leaving the home where she had lived for decades and reintegrating into a new family.
Twenty years is too long, and too many things can change. She is already forty years old and is no longer the brave and fearless eldest daughter of the Ye family when she was sixteen or seventeen years old. Her reason is stronger than her emotions.
She has her own scale in her heart to judge what is more important.
Cha Cha is only eighteen years old and has just been separated from her biological father and blood brother. Now she is asked to accept a new father and two new brothers. How uneasy must she be?
During dinner, she was so nervous that she even dropped her chopsticks on the ground. When Huo Jingye spoke a little louder, her face turned pale with fright.
Ye Surong began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for her to marry Huo Tingkun so hastily.
Perhaps, she should give Cha Cha and herself some time to adapt.
Jiang Cha buried his head in Ye Surong's arms.
She was a gentle and strong woman. Nestled in her arms, Jiang Cha felt extremely safe.
"Mom, I really like Uncle Huo and his family. That day, when Uncle Huo carried me home, I was thinking, I wish Uncle Huo was my dad. After all, even my own dad never carried me once since I was a child!"
She just gave a simple example, and Ye Surong felt so distressed.
To her, Jiang Guodong is not a good husband, and to Cha Cha, Jiang Guodong is even less of a good father.
Jiang Cha's tears flowed out uncontrollably, one by one. Yes, she has the best mother in the world!
The mother and daughter slept in each other's arms all night. When they woke up the next day, the three men of the Huo family had all gone to work and no one was at home.
There were two insulated lunch boxes on the table, filled with steamed buns, corn cobs, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, and millet porridge. These were all brought back by Huo Tingkun from the cafeteria in the morning.
After they washed up and finished breakfast, it was almost half past nine. Ye Surong and Jiang Cha decided to clean up the house today. They had to put away all the things they bought yesterday.
Jiang Cha had just opened the window of her room when the chattering of a group of women outside reached her ears.
"Commander Huo's wife hasn't gotten up yet. What time is it?"
"This morning I saw Commander Huo happily going to buy breakfast for his wife. It's not just that they're beautiful and have great skin. If I could sleep so late every day and not have to worry about family matters, my skin would be so tender that you could pinch water out of it."
"You didn't see it yesterday. That little fox from Commander Huo's house chased Yaoyao out of her house. He locked the door so quickly that he almost broke Yaoyao's nose!"
"Yaoyao has grown up under our watch. She's beautiful and sings beautifully. When she and Deputy Captain Huo stand together, they're a perfect match, a match made in heaven. That vixen is probably trying to seduce Deputy Captain Huo. She must have known about their unusual relationship, so she's deliberately targeting Yaoyao."
"If you ask me, we all need to keep a closer eye on our men. That sly mother and daughter are both incredibly pretty, and they know how to dress up and bewitch people. You don't even know that my husband came home last night and praised those two women to the skies. It pissed me off so much I didn't talk to him all night."
"Isn't it? My wife is the same. Last night, she first scolded my daughter for not being as graceful as that Jiang Cha. Then she said I wasn't as good at dressing up as Commander Huo's wife. She praised her like a flower, while I was treated like a piece of tofu dregs. I was so angry that I kicked him out this morning without even making him breakfast!"
Those people spoke as if it were true. Jiang Cha was so angry that she said that yesterday evening, the group of women gathered together and whispered, so there must be something wrong.
It seems that the girl who came to see Huo Jingchuan yesterday was more capable than she imagined!
As soon as Jiang Cha arrived in the living room, he saw Ye Surong's hand on the door lock, tears streaming down her face.
She heard every word those people outside said clearly.
Jiang Cha went over and wiped her tears, "Mom, don't listen to their gossip. I'm going out now and talk to them."
"Don't go."
Ye Surong grabbed her and said, "We just arrived and we're not familiar with those people. We'll be fine once we get to know them better. They're all military families, and we live together. It wouldn't be good if we made a big fuss."
She turned around and comforted Jiang Cha: "Let's just pretend we didn't hear it."
"Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
Jiang Cha opened the door and smiled brightly. The people who were sitting at the foot of the tree enjoying the cool air immediately shut up when they saw her.
"Why are you all so silent when you see me? Are you saying bad things about me?"
No one knew whether she did it on purpose or not. After hearing this, they dared not say a word!
