"No, I don't want to! I want to stay with my mother!"
Ya Ya continued to cry and waile, repeatedly saying no.
Tiger Head hugged Lin Zao tightly, as if afraid she would run away. "Wherever Mother goes, Tiger Head will go!"
Lin Zao was panicked by the two children's crying. She didn't know what she would encounter on this trip to Yaozhou. The people who had chased her back then were clearly not simple.
She worried that taking her two children with her would put them in danger.
"Mother will be back after she finishes her business, and your father will go with her too. Now you won't worry that Mother will abandon you, right?"
I thought that saying this would reassure the two children, but to my surprise, they cried even harder after hearing it!
Lin Zao knew that her two children had never been away from her for long since birth, and she was sure they would be scared if she suddenly told them that she would be leaving for a while.
In addition, the time they spent relying on each other during their escape from famine made the two children even more dependent on her.
She thought that after this period of time, the two children had gradually adapted, but who knew they would react so strongly.
Lin Zao frantically tried to soothe the two children who were crying so hard they were almost choking.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying even harder?"
With tears streaming down her face, Ya Ya looked at Lin Zao accusingly, "Mother sent Father with you, why didn't she take us with her?"
Tiger Head went even further, lying down on the ground and rolling around, shouting, "I don't care, I want to go too! Why is Daddy being taken but us!"
Lin Zao looked at Hu Tou with a cold sweat on his forehead, not expecting him to make such a move.
Just then, Tang Jian came in. He had just returned from doing something good outside, and before he even entered the house, he heard Hu Tou and Ya Ya crying loudly.
With a cold face, Tang Jian picked up Hu Tou, who was lying on the ground acting like a spoiled child.
Tiger Head's tantrum immediately subsided. He raised his little head, which was covered in snot and tears, and stared blankly at his father, whose face was dark with anger.
He sniffed hard, instantly sucking the snot back in.
Tang Jian's forehead veins throbbed, and he held back from throwing him out, reminding himself that this was his own son!
"A real man should be able to talk things out properly. How can you act like a scoundrel? Is that even proper?"
Tiger Head: "Waaaaah! Who told you to leave without me and my sister?"
Tang Jian paused: "Your mother and I have important business to attend to. What are you all doing following us?"
"I don't care, I'm going with you! If you're not taking us, we'll just follow behind!"
Tang Jian's face turned even uglier. How dare they threaten them?
This is outrageous!
If you don't discipline them for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!
Seeing Tang Jian's expression, Lin Zao thought he was going to hit the child, so she quickly stopped him. She couldn't tolerate corporal punishment.
"Alright, alright, you two should talk things out."
While holding the still-crying Ya Ya, Lin Zao gave Tang Jian a meaningful look.
Tang Jian withdrew his hand, which was about to slap Hu Tou's buttocks. Actually, he didn't intend to hit the child; he just wanted to scare him.
He hadn't expected Tiger Head to be so stubborn, preferring to go against him rather than compromise.
Tang Jian glanced at Ya Ya in Lin Zao's arms and saw that his daughter seemed to be frightened by his actions just now, staring at him with wide eyes.
He quickly put the tiger head down, wanting to comfort his daughter, but Ya Ya was so frightened that she turned her head and buried her head in Lin Zao's arms.
Tang Jian was a little at a loss: "Ya Ya, don't be afraid. Daddy was just scare your brother. I won't really hit you. Daddy loves you too much."
