A rare thing for an old man, he blushed.
He lowered his head and did not look at her, focusing on washing her feet.
Just when it touches her skin, it feels very subtle.
The delicate skin, held in the palm of your hand, is as smooth as milk.
He even felt a little disgusted that his rough hands would touch the little girl's skin.
"Hahaha, Huo Jinyan, why are you still blushing? Did I say something that made you fanciful?"
She raised her foot and tickled his chin, extremely ambiguous.
"Why don't you dare to look at me?"
"Don't make trouble, take a good bath on your feet."
He was teased until he felt helpless, so he grabbed his disobedient feet and pushed them into the water.
The feeling of being taken care of is quite comfortable.
Jiang Mengning sighed with satisfaction.
"Haha, why haven't you spoken yet? What did I say that made you blush? Or are you thinking wrong?"
"Well... I just said itchy! Itchy! Hard! Tolerant! What? Is there a problem with this? Or are you really thinking wrong?"
"Captain Huo, what did you think of? Is it possible that you thought of that... itching?"
The last sound of the word "itch" is long and charming, which makes people feel trembling in their hearts.
"Jiang Mengning!"
Huo Jinyan really couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued to be teased, he would make a fool of himself.
The old man's old face was red.
He glared at Jiang Mengning.
"Tch, why are you pretending to be serious? You are an old man who has been married for the second time, and you are still so innocent. If I hadn't known about your second marriage, I would have been deceived by your innocent appearance."
Huo Jinyan: "..." He is married for the second time, but can't he be innocent after being married?
He hasn’t done anything!
I really want to be pissed off by this woman.
Wanting to teach her a lesson, he raised his wet hand and quickly scraped her nose.
"ah!"
Jiang Mengning glared at him angrily: "This is foot washing water, you got it on my face."
The corners of Huo Jinyan's lips curled up: "There is also a bump on your nose. I am here to treat your wound." He said shamelessly.
"Okay, thank you very much, Captain Huo, for your concern. The little girl is very grateful."
"Wow."
He raised his foot and brought out a splash of water, which splashed on Huo Jinyan's face.
"Hahaha, how are you? Does the foot washing water taste good?"
Huo Jinyan wiped the water on his face, pretended to be angry, and raised his hand to throw the water back.
"ah!"
Jiang Mengning blocked it with her hand and quickly covered her face.
Waited for a while, nothing happened?
She spread her fingers and looked at the man through the gaps between her fingers, meeting his smiling eyes.
Well, this person can also use lies to scare people!
The eldest lady put down her hand and snorted arrogantly.
Huo Jinyan stopped teasing her and stood up: "I'll go to the health center to get you medicine. You can soak your feet for a while. Don't take it out so quickly, otherwise it won't be effective."
After that, he went out.
Jiang Mengning puffed up her cheeks and cursed: "Bitch man."
The cursing was followed by the cursing, and even AK couldn't suppress the curvature of the corners of his lips.
After washing with soapy water and applying ointment, the pain and itchiness of the mosquito bites was relieved a lot.
No more redness or swelling.
The medicines of this era are quite effective and provide immediate results.
In the evening, Huo Haowen came back.
Today, the children are better behaved and have not gone over there to work hard to make money.
After all, learning is the most important thing now, not the time to endure hardship.
At the dinner table, the family ate quietly.
Huo Jinyan looked at his son for a while and said, "Haowen, I heard that you stole money at school."
These words not only shocked Huo Haowen, but also Jiang Mengning was a little stunned.
How did dad know?
Huo Haowen nervously swallowed the food in his mouth and glared at his stepmother angrily.
"You are not trustworthy. We agreed that this would be a secret. Sure enough, my dad blew the whistle and you did anything. It's too much!"
Jiang Mengning: "I..."
Huo Jinyan: "Haowen, why are you talking to your mother? Be quiet and listen to me."
The most annoying thing for adolescent boys is betrayal, and the secret between them is revealed without even thinking.
"Hmph, your wife still owes money to that pork seller outside. Why don't you tell her."
Huo Jinyan: "..." He looked at Jiang Mengning in surprise.
"Do you owe money outside?"
Jiang Mengning is so depressed, and Huo Haowen really deserves a beating.
Look, the good image that she managed to maintain has just collapsed, and she doesn't want to live anymore.
The eldest lady wants to be strong all her life, how could she be bullied by a young boy?
"Huo Haowen, it's so good of you to reveal the secret between us without even asking about the situation. You just don't believe me."
She kicked Huo Jinyan: "Tell you, who told you that he stole money in school?"
Huo Jinyan thinks this matter is a bit messy, what about the two of them? There is really something hidden from him.
When did their relationship become so good?
"I asked someone to go to school to ask. The school teacher said that Haowen was wrongly accused of stealing money before, but later it was clarified that it was not him, so I wanted to ask what the specific situation was."
Unexpectedly, he also asked his wife about the money she owed outside. Every day, the parents didn't act like parents, and the children didn't act like children. It gave them a headache.
Jiang Mengning was cleared of her grievances, and she proudly raised her chin towards Huo Haowen.
"Kid, did you hear that? It wasn't me who said it. It was you who revealed my secret. I'm not happy at all."
Putting down the chopsticks: "I won't eat, I have no appetite."
She went back to her room.
Only then did Huo Haowen realize that he had wronged his stepmother, and he felt sad and guilty.
Standing there helpless.
At this moment, I want to slap myself in the mouth, why don't I believe my stepmother?
"Dad, I...I didn't say anything just now. Stepmother doesn't owe money outside. It's all my nonsense."
I want to make amends, but Huo Jinyan is not a fool. Only if he believes it can he be evil!
He glanced at his son helplessly, stood up, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and went to Jiang Mengning's room.
Huo Haowen and Nian Nian were the only ones left in the kitchen.
Niannian Nai said in a loud voice: "Brother, you made mother angry."
Huo Haowen: "..." Stop talking. He is very nervous now and doesn't know what to do.
——
Jiang Mengning was half leaning on the head of the bed. When she saw Huo Jinyan coming in, she snorted and ignored him.
Huo Jinyan: "..." Who owes the money? So angry.
There was no way, the little ancestor had to be coaxed.
"What a big deal. You're still angry. It's not a shame to owe money. Just pay it back."
Now it seems like he owes money. Sure enough, it is the uncle who owes money.
Jiang Mengning: "Huh, don't misunderstand me. That's the money I owed before. I've already paid it back. It's absolutely impossible for me to owe foreign debts in the future."
How embarrassing it is to owe money! The eldest lady had lived an upright life, but she was reduced to the point where she almost owed money and refused to pay it back. Of course she felt very embarrassed.
Especially in front of Huo Jinyan, she didn't want him to know about the money she owed.
She admitted that she liked Huo Jinyan a little, so she definitely didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the person she liked!
"Since you've paid it back, why are you so angry that you won't eat? Let's order food first. It's not worth it to be hungry."
He was really coaxing her like a child.
It’s really weird how women get angry sometimes, I can’t figure it out.
