"You...you are asking me to find a job? At my age?" Meng Yunhan was stunned. She never thought that Han Yichen, who had always been putty in her hands, would actually dare to utter such words in front of her.

"What do you mean at your age? I am around the same age as you, just a year older than you. And yet I am working every day; why can’t you do the same? Unless you can get that cousin to pay you back, you have to get a job."

Once he finished speaking, Han Yichen felt like he had aged several years, and anyone in his shoes would feel the same. Years of his savings that he saved as a safety net were gone. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to raise this big family alone anymore, and heaven forbid, what if there was an accident? What was he going to do then? How was he going to deal with that?

Han Yichen was truly worried and had no idea how to deal with the current situation. Sighing, he retreated into his room without bothering to even look at Meng Yunhan.

Meng Yunhan had been pampered by Han Yichen all of her life. This was the first time that he had lost his temper with her, and she was furious and upset because of it. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she shouted at Han Ruochen, "This is all your fault! Are you satisfied now? You are a jinx. There is no peace at home because of you. If I had known that you would cause so much trouble for me, I would have drowned you in the cesspit."

Han Yichen found out the truth because Han Ruochen kept harping about it; if she had not made a fuss, then nothing like this would have happened. Thus, Meng Yunhan couldn’t help but blame Han Ruochen.

"Sister, this is too much. How can you do such a thing? Mom is your biological mother; how can you harm her like this?" Han Ziyan was still unhappy with the fact that Han Ruochen had sold the job and didn’t even breathe a word about it. That job was supposed to be hers!

"Biological mother? I am not sure if she is our mother. She stole all of our savings without asking anyone in the family and gave it to her own cousin. If she had felt guilty about it, I would have at least given it a thought, but did she feel guilty? No, she allowed you to snatch my fiancé, deliberately stopped Jianyou’s school fees and even refused to send Beijiang to the city for treatment. Is this what a biological mother is supposed to do?"

Han Ruochen could no longer tolerate getting blamed by Meng Yunha, nor would she let her blame anyone else either.

Even if she really did owe something to Meng Yunhan, she had already repaid everything to Meng Yunhan by ruining her life in the past. She was

She had given up on her own life to bring success to Hna Ziyan and her daughter.

"Mom, you keep blaming us, but let me ask you, why do you blame us? Big brother married your niece, even when he did not like her; he ruined his life and gave up on his girlfriend because of you. You even asked him to leave the house because you wanted to save more money for Ziyan. Second sister had to marry in a faraway place because you made a fuss just because Ziyan didn’t like her being strict with her, and I had to give up on my own betrothal for her. Jianyou is being embarrassed at school because you spent the savings on something useless, and Beijiang—he is suffering too because all the good things go in Ziyan’s bowl."

"She eats meat and fish, while we are asked to drink soup. Are we the stepping stone to your precious daughter? Though no one says anything, that’s because we respect you as our mother, but we all know that you are biased toward Ziyan. You want our entire family to either work for your family or Ziyan. Tell me mother, how long do we have to do it? What’s more, how can you make such a big and gaping hole without caring about Dad? Mom, when you did this, did you not feel even the slightest bit guilty?"

After she finished speaking, Han Ruochen pulled Han Jianyou and Han Beijiang out of the house, she didn’t want to stay at home anymore. She knew Meng Yunhan. She was stubborn and selfish. She would never accept that she had done anything wrong.

Han Jianyou stayed silent as Han Ruochen pulled him away. All along, he thought that his family had abandoned him, but who would have thought that her mother was the one causing such a mess?

"Sister, what are we going to do now?" Han Jianyou asked worriedly. He owed the school at least eighty yuan, and now that they had no savings, where would his father get that sum of money from? The reason he had been acting recklessly till now was that he believed that his father would protect him ultimately. But without any savings, what could his father even do?

It was a good thing that he was not caught by the police officers today, or else even his father couldn’t have saved his life. Without money, could he even be bailed out? Of course not!

Han Ruochen looked at Han Jianyou and hid the truth of earning more than a thousand yuan. She simply said, "We will have to make do with it. I will try to earn some money for your fees, but you have to promise that you will work hard in your studies and stop getting along with those thug-like friends of yours."

"Sister—"

"If not, you can always join the workforce and help me earn money. Anyway, our family has no savings left in our hands, so if you don’t want to study, I might as well agree to your request."

Han Jianyou: "..."
