"I did it deliberately, so what?" sneered Han Xuehan. Since these people looked down on her because she did not have proper support behind her, they always came up with ways to taunt and mock her. Now that her father had called her, she would show what it meant to suppress someone from a family that was way richer and more powerful than theirs!

After she finished speaking, she walked past Old Madam Qiao without caring about her ugly expression.

"This...this woman is going to drive me crazy!" Old Madam Qiao was so furious that she was trembling. Just because she had a little support from her father, she was going to go against her? How dare this woman!?

Village Head Qiao’s mouth twitched when he heard her words. He simply remarked, "Well, who can you blame but yourself? I already told you not to cause trouble, but you were determined to make trouble. Now, who can you blame but yourself? How many times did I tell you to stay put? Anyway, you are already so old. Is there a reason for you to toss around so much?"

Village Head Qiao could not understand what was going on with Old Madam Qiao. Han Xuehan was a good child; if this woman had treated her well, she would have definitely repaid her and even treated her well. But these two people were so silly; they bullied Han Xuehan left and right. Now that they had lost the heart of this good child, what else were they supposed to do?

Village Head Qiao did not want to waste his time with this woman anymore, so he simply shook his head and walked out of the commune house. Seeing this, Old Madam Qiao was so angry that smoke started to come out of her ears, but she couldn’t take her anger out on anyone because she could no longer hit Han Xuehan as she used to!

"Your mother has lost her mind!" Old Madam Qiao was not the only one who was furious; Han Yichen was just as furious. However, his anger was for a completely different reason. He clenched and unclenched his fists, but that alone was not enough to satisfy his anger. "How can she do such a thing? Since she knew that the Qiao family had no cows or lands, how could she do such a thing!?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Han Ruochen watched her father calmly and then commented, "Maybe mother has never cared about us, because if she did, then she would have never pushed sister into such a fire pit."

This time, even Han Yichen had nothing to say.

Even he felt embarrassed to say that Meng Yunhan cared for her children, even after doing such a shameless thing. Back then, that woman told him that the people from the Qiao family were really good and they were honest farmers. Even if they were not rich, they had twenty mu of land and cows to farm. This alone was enough for their daughter to live a comfortable life.

Now the truth was out in the open. There were no cows, and the land that they were talking about was something that other people had rented out to them. These lands did not belong to the Qiao family, and they also had to share a share of their crops with others. Their family was basically one of the poorest families. His poor daughter had to actually farm more than six mu on her own! Han Xuehan was his first daughter, and he naturally treated her very well.

How could he accept that someone made her suffer like this? He just couldn’t accept it!

"Dad, I will go to the docks." Han Ruochen knew what her father was thinking and did not say anything deliberately. She wanted to break the trust of her father in her mother slowly, such that when she told the truth about her affair to him, her father wouldn’t go into shock.

Han Yichen waved his hand and asked her to take care of herself as he continued to pace in the living room.

Han Ruochen left him to his devices and walked out of the house. Once she stepped out of the yard, Han Beijiang, who was sitting obediently in her arms, raised her head and looked at her. "Sister, is elder sister bullied because of mom?"

When Han Ruochen heard his words, she was quite shocked by his keen sense of noticing small things, but she still felt happy. This meant that Han Beijiang was finally paying attention to things happening around him. However, she pretended not to understand anything. She said to him with a nod, "That’s right. That is indeed the case, so remember Beijiang. When your elder sister returns home, you should treat her well and not cause her trouble. Try to talk with her more; that way, she would be able to live in the house in peace."

"We cannot rely on Mom and Sister Ziyan. They only care about themselves. So we have to take care of Big sister who is bullied by them."

Han Beijiang nodded. He understood everything that his sister told him; his elder sister was bullied by his mother and Han Ziyan, so they needed to be nice to his elder sister.

Han Ruochen was glad that the little boy was willing to listen to her. She smiled at him and patted him on the head before taking him to the county, where she sent him to the special class and then returned to the docks. When she arrived at the docks, the old priest whom her father had arranged to bless the motorboat was already standing on the docks.

"Priest Huo", she greeted the old man who was studying the motorboat with a keen interest.

Priest Huo raised his head and turned to look at her. When he saw her coming, he simply nodded at her and said, "You are just in time; the auspicious hour was just about to start."
