It was not that shecked the money to raise her children, but this was his biological son. Did he not miss him at all?
‘Isn’t he worried that I might be cruel and abuse your son?’
The siblings hugged He Cheng to prevent him from falling and getting injured.
“Mother, bird!”
“Fly, fly…”
Children were always carefree. Their happiness was very simple. They had to eat, wear warm clothes, be loved by their parents, be loved by their brothers and sisters, go out to y, have their own friends, and have some money in their pockets. They could buy anything they liked.
The roads in Xishan Vige had beenpletely repaired. The vigers were digging bamboo shoots, chopping firewood, opening up wastnd to nt vegetables, and hatching chickens.
Everything happened ording to Han Qiao’s words. As long as there was good quality chicken, duck, fish, and meat here, she would ept them.
In addition, First Brother Han and his brothers would go to the county town every other day, so it was convenient to bring them along. The price was a little higher than selling them himself. It saved trouble and effort, and they also had more time to dig bamboo shoots, chop firewood, and dig wild vegetables.
Han Yuan had been waiting at the intersection since early morning. When she saw the carriageing, she smiled happily.
“Father, Mother!”
She first greeted his inws.
Han Qiao also called her.
The children all shouted, “Grandma!”
Han Yuan smiled and responded. When she saw He Cheng, the smile on her face froze. She asked Han Qiao softly, “Why did you bring him along?”
“I naturally have to bring our children along. Since his brother and sisters can go out to visit their grandparents, he shoulde along too.”
Han Qiao extended her hand to He Cheng, “Cheng’er,e here.”
He Cheng ran over.
“Mother.” She called her mother sweetly.
“This is Granny.”
“Granny!” He called out to her obediently and hid behind Han Qiao shyly.
Han Yuan couldn’t understand Han Qiao.
She had so many nephews in the family, why didn’t she choose a few to raise? Why would she want to raise someone else’s child?
One was He Cheng, and the other was Han Chi.
They had nothing to do with her.
She didn’t believe that Heng Yi would force Han Qiao if she didn’t want to raise He Cheng.
“Go home first. Lunch is ready at home. Your father knew that you wereing, so he didn’t go to work today.”
Han Qiao nodded.
Grandpa and Grandma were already eagerly walking ahead.
The children carried their things happily, and the cousins who came to pick them upughed and joked with them.
Han Chi grabbed He Cheng and carried the child inside. He and He Chengughed loudly along the way.
Han Yuan looked at Han Qiao and said, “Ah-Xiang is here too. You guys can have a good chatter. How can you keep fighting between sisters?”
Han Qiao fell silent.
She suddenly felt like vomiting.
She wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
Seeing that she did not speak, Mother Han continued to persuade her, “Just give Ah-Xiang another chance for Mother’s sake. You are sisters and you have always doted on her the most.”
Han Qiao stopped in her tracks and said in a cold and deep voice, “Mother, I don’t care if you’re biased toward her. She’s still a daughter who’s married off. I’m not ashamed of my family. When I don’t have the ability, there’s nothing I can do. Ever since I could help the Han family, I’ve never declined.”
“That’s why I can do whatever I want with a clear conscience.”
“You’re biased towards Han Xiang. I’ve known that since I was young. It’s just like how you woulde to me to lobby for her, and how my brothers would abandon their entire family to visit her. But when I was fighting the Sun family, none of you came to my aid. Were you deaf? Or were you blind? Neither. I just feel that my life is bitter. After marrying such a man, I can only suffer for the rest of my life. I just have to endure until I give birth to a son.”
“When I divorced, you didn’t want to care about me because you were afraid that you couldn’t bear the responsibility. I even called my uncle over to discuss it. Everyone agreed and knew how much silver I had. Only then did they support me and allow me to divorce.”
“I didn’t want to say these words at first. I wanted to keep them to myself for the rest of my life and live like this. However, you keep challenging my kindness and patience time and time again. Do you think I don’t hate you and resent you?”
“Do you still think that I gave you too little? Your hearts are floating and you want to control me bit by bit?”
“Then you’re wrong. 1 won’t be manipted by anyone in the Han family, nor will 1 forgive that ingrate Han Xiang. I don’t want to pay attention to her, either.”
“Mother, 1 came here happily today, but you have to make things difficult for me. I won’te back in the future, and I won’t stay here tonight.”
After Han Qiao finished speaking, she ignored Han Yuan’s pale face.
“Bai Cha.”
“Sister-inw,” Bai Cha immediately ran over.
“Sister-inw, what’s the matter?”
“Tell the two drivers to wait for a bit. We’ll leave after resting for a while. We’ll give them more money when we get back.”
Han Yuan hurriedly shook her head, “No, no.”
She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Han Qiao ignored her.
She was especially annoyed that the Han family kept persuading her to forgive Han Xiang and act as the peacemaker.
She had clearly stated, over and over, that she wouldn’t want to forgive Han Xiang, yet they still had to keep talking about it. What did they take her for?
Bai Cha immediately left to do what he was told.
The two drivers didn’t find any customers to ride their carriage back, anyway. Now that they could get an extra sum of money, they were naturally very satisfied.
Han Yuan was so flustered that she lost her soul.
“Mother, let’s get inside.” Han Qiao called out to Han Yuan.
Han Yuanshi hurriedly followed, “Ah-Qiao, Mother… Mother is not biased. Mother is just, just-”
“Mother, you don’t have to exin. 1 don’t want to hear it now. Let’s go.”
Han Qiao walked in front.
She didn’t have a good expression on her face.
Han Yuan followed behind, wiping her tears.
Han Qiao did not turn around, nor did she soften her heart.
The Han family’s uncles were all there. The older brothers had all gone out to collect bamboo shoots, firewood, vegetables, radishes, wild vegetables, chickens, ducks, and geese. The sisters-inw and children were all here. It was very lively.
Seeing Han Qiao’s face and the tearful Han Yuan, they were both stunned.
Han Xiang, who was hiding behind, ran out, “Sister.”
Han Qiao ignored her and went past Han Xiang to greet her uncles and elders.
She greeted her sisters-inw.
Han Xiang stood rooted to the ground, her face flushed red as she looked at Han Yuan for help.
Han Yuan couldn’t even protect herself now, so how could she be in the mood to care about Han Xiang?
Father Han sighed, “Ah-Qiao, let’s have a seat in the hall.”
“Yes.”
Han Qiao is pregnant with his son-inw.
Before she entered the central room, she called Han Chi over. “Don’t unpack your things. We’ll return to the county townter today,”
Han Chi was surprised, but he did not ask why.
He quickly went to look for Sun Xiu and Sun Yi.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi could guess the reason.
The two girls call He Cheng and Sun Ke over.
“Big Brother, Big Sister!”
He Cheng didn’t quite understand, but Sun Ke understood that she would be going home soon.
She also obediently did not ask why.
Anyway, when they returned home, her mother would tell her.
The atmosphere in the main room was a little off. Father Han wanted to ask several times, but he didn’t dare to.
The uncles kept talking about it. Uncle Yi wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he chose to shut up.
Han Qiao sighed.
In the early days, when she was not earning any money, everyone was confident and the elders were kind. Now that she and Han Yuan were fighting because of Han Xiang, she was in a bad mood.
She didn’t want to talk, so the atmosphere became stiff.
Han Qiao sighed.
In fact, he felt a little sad and ufortable for the original owner of this body.
“We’ll go back after lunch,” Han Qiao said.
This was already apromise.
She wanted to drink some tea and leave.
She was really tired of seeing Han Xiang, and seeing that everyone at home was biased towards Han Xiang.
She felt that it was not worth it for the original owner. Of course, she also had her own emotions towards the matter and not the person. In short, they all had their own selfishness.
“All-Qiao, it’s rare for you toe back, so why don’t you stay here for the night? We don’t know when you’lle back again.”
Grandpa and Grandma also came to persuade Han Qiao.
They mainly wanted her to wait for her brothers. When they came back, they wanted to hear what they had been doing these days. The whole family was happy, and they wanted to cultivate a rtionship with the children.
In the future, they would have to rely on their aunt, Han Qiao.
Everyone tried to persuade her. n Yuan was crying at the side. Han Xiang ran to Han Qiao and knelt down. “Sister, I was wrong. I know my mistake. Please give me another chance. If I make a mistake again, I’ll admit it even if you hit or scold me..”
