Reborn In The 90's: Saving My Siblings With A Fishing System
Chapter 207: Stopped in Time
If she were to slap Han Ruochen’s head a few times, maybe she would turn into a fool? Though she did not like her children, she did not want them dead either. But Han Ruochen kept hindering Han Ziyan and her. She could no longer allow her to keep doing that. If Han Ruochen were to turn into a fool, then Meng Yunhan was sure that Han Ziyan would take care of her, and even if Han Ziyan did not take care of her, there were four more siblings who would be more willing to do so.
Han Ruochen would no longer need to work. She could rest easy with so many people taking care of her. With her siblings taking care of her, Han Ruochen wouldn’t have to lift even a finger, and there would be people waiting for her. If she were in Han Ruochen’s position, she would give anything to be in this position. As her mother, Meng Yunhan, swore that she would never shortchange Han Ruochen in anything.
As soon as Meng Yunhan made a move, Han Ruochen noticed the same green light in her eyes that Han Ziyan had before she killed her. It was the same look, the same cruel glint and Han Ruochen could not help but stiffen at the sight.
But this time around, just as Meng Yunhan was about to make a move, her father rushed out of the kitchen. Han Yichen noticed at once that there was something wrong when he heard the sound of Meng Yunhan scolding Han Ruochen. He caught her wrist and flung it to one side before snarling, "You—today is a good day, and I don’t wish to quarrel with you. What do you mean by that you will kill her? How can you say such cruel words? Master Muchen came here because Ruochen helped his brother. What does it have to do with you? Why should Ah Chen be the one responsible for the savings that you wasted? What kind of logic is this?"
"Do you mean to say that as long as Ziyan makes a mistake, Ah Chen should be the one to wipe her butt for her?"
"Dad, who said that I made a mistake? Why would Sister clean up my mess for me?" Han Ziyan just returned home with the new set of clothes that she had purchased from the money that she had squeezed out of her mother’s purse.
"Ziyan, you are back?" Meng Yunhan was still angry, but when she heard her daughter’s voice, she snapped out of her daze and hurried over to her.
Meng Yunhan, who had snapped back to her senses, was shocked silly at the thought that had just crossed her mind just now. Why would she have such a terrifying thought?
Everyone in the village knew that Han Ruochen was not a simpleton. If she suddenly became a fool, wouldn’t they all target her for torturing her daughter? What was more, Meng Yunhan cared a lot about her reputation. If something happened to Han Ruochen, then how would she live in the village? And there was no way Han Ziyan would let Han Ruochen become a burden on her.
It was a good thing that Han Ziyan came, or else she would have done something really foolish.
Meng Yunhan knew that if she had done something to Han Ruochen, then Han Yichen would have divorced her for sure. There was no way the two of them could have stayed as a couple anymore.
"Ziyan, how was your day today? Was everything alright?"
"Mom, everything was alright. Why are you asking such a question?" Han Ziyan frowned; she was slightly displeased when she heard the question of her mother. Did everyone think that she had caused trouble? Though she had caused some trouble, it had not reached the point where she had to beg Han Ruochen for help. "My day was alright. Dad, what were you talking about? How could I be causing trouble when I know that no one will help me?"
She thought that by saying such words, she could make Han Yichen feel sorry for her. But she never thought that her good mother had already dug a pit for her earlier on. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of Han Yichen’s snort. She raised her head and looked at her adoptive father, who scoffed and said, "Won’t be the first time. The last time you wanted something and your mother did not have money, she threw my eldest daughter into a den of wolves. Who knows, she might be planning something similar."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the colour drained from Meng Yunhan’s face. She looked at her husband with a hint of fear in her eyes, and suddenly, she had a feeling why the man had been furious with her in the morning. It turned out that he had actually called Han Xuehan in the morning.
Meng Yunhan had never cared about the life and death of these children; even when two of them were ruined by her, she hardly paid any attention to them. After marrying off Han Xuehan and taking the bride price, she had never even thought of calling Han Xuehan. Who asked that woman to bully her Ziyan?
After so many years, she had forgotten her more or less. Who would have thought that Han Yichen would suddenly think of calling Han Xuehan out of nowhere? She slowly turned to look at Han Ruochen and gritted her teeth. It must be her! She must be the one who caused trouble for her. In so many years, Han Yichen had listened to her silently and always believed that Han Xuehan was doing good.
But suddenly, Han Yichen thought of calling her. It must be this good-for-nothing who instigated it!
She wanted to slap Han Ruochen to death before asking her why this woman was out for her life! Why could she not sit still and leave her be?
Even Han Ziyan’s face turned pale. The savings, though directly linked with her, the truth never came out, but if Han Xuehan’s marriage was related to her! If her father had found out the truth, then he would definitely never forgive her.
