Chapter 233: Han Xiang Beaten

Zhao Huan was also shameless.

Being chased away like this, she was not happy but also helpless.

“You think I’m willing to come here?”

She wiped her tears and turned to leave.

“Zhao Huan,” Han Qiao called out to her.

“Seeing that you are He Cheng’s biological mother, let me remind you to stay away from Zhen Niang. He Hong left your money to you. However, the money she promised you might not be the same. You have to be careful in everything. Don’t be tricked by her.”

“When the time comes, no one will respond to your calls. No one will pay attention to you, and 1 won’t save you on account of He Cheng.”

“You’re an adult now. Whether it’s good or bad, you have to use your own eyes to see and comprehend with your heart.”

“Take care of yourself. Hurry up and leave.”

Zhao Huan really didn’t know whether to be angry or annoyed.

She had never seen someone like Han Qiao.

She left the Heng mansion in a huff. When she was at the door, she snorted coldly.

In the side hall, Han Qiao cursed angrily, “Han Xiang, that brainless idiot.”

Han Xiang, who Han Qiao was cursing, was in an alley not far from Heng Manor.

Seeing Zhao Huan come out, she was a little nervous and a little excited.

She grabbed Zhou Anshan’s sleeve and said, “Tell me! Is Han Qiao panicking and scared right now?”

Zhou Anshan shook his head, “I don’t know. Ah-Xiang, let’s go back.”

Every day he came outside the house, the more money he lost.

He still couldn’t bear to part with it. He lost a few hundred wen a day.

Han Xiang pursed her lips, “Go back, go back.”

Han Qiao didn’t want to let this matter go.

Zhao Huan would never come and take the child away, but Han Xiang had made things difficult for her, so she had to teach her a lesson.

Therefore, when Eldest Brother Han came to deliver the firewood, she invited him over.

“I invited Big Brother here today because I have something to tell you.”

“When Heng Yi and 1 were raising He Cheng, that idiot Han Xiang went to tell Zhao Huan.”

“Now, Zhao Huan came to say that she wants to take the child back.”

“Big Brother, I admit that I didn’t do anything wrong to her. Although I didn’t do business with her directly, I still kept the firewood and bamboo shoots she collected.”

“Ah-Qiao…” Eldest Brother Han began, but Han Qiao continued.

“Do you think I don’t know? I’ve given her a chance to correct her mistakes time and time again, and you see how she repays me? She didn’t even hide this kind of information and even ran to her door to tell her.”

The more Han Qiao spoke, the angrier she got.

She swept the teacup on the ground, “Big Brother, I only want the firewood and other things you collect from now on. 1 don’t want what Han Xiang collected. If you help her sell some to me again, don’t even bother sending it over.”

Eldest Brother Han was so frightened that he trembled.

“All-Qiao—”

“She treats me like this, so why should I pretend to be deaf and mute? I spoiled her so much that maybe I should go to heaven by now!”

Eldest Brother Han was in a daze on the way home.

These days, he had been working hard to earn some money and wanted to send his youngest son to the Academy to study. Who knew when this kind of opportunity would come to him and his family again?

He also felt resentment towards Han Xiang.

When he got home, Eldest Brother Han told them about what had happened with a sullen face. Father Han and Han Yuan were shocked.

“Is she crazy?” Han Yuan said angrily.

Eldest Sister-in-law Han and Second Sister-in-law Han wished they could give Han Xiang a good beating.

Look at what she did.

If they angered Han Qiao, it wouldn’t do them any good.

“Father, mother, Ah-Xiang is too much.” Eldest Brother Han said in a deep voice.

“All these years, we’ve been biased towards her. She doesn’t know what’s good for her. She’s not as simple-minded as we thought. How could she bite her sister like a mad dog?”

Han Yuan’s face darkened.

After a while, she said angrily, “I’ll go find her.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Han and Second Sister-in-law Han immediately followed.

It didn’t take long for the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law to arrive at Zhou Village.

There was no need to ask.

Zhou Anshan and Han Xiang had built a house at the village entrance, just like Han Qiao’s house.

When Han Xiang saw Han Yuan’s angry face, she felt guilty and wanted to hide.

“Mother,” She braced himself and greeted.

Han Yuan went forward and slapped her.

“You idiot! Why did I give birth to such an ungrateful wolf? All these years, I’ve doted on you, but I didn’t even raise a dog! A dog even knows how to guard the house!”

Han Xiang covered her face, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

She opened her mouth and her tears flowed down.

“Mother…”

“Don’t call me ‘mother’. I’m not your mother. I can’t give birth to an unfilial daughter like you. You’re simply a pig brain, a heartless fool!”

“How could you do such a stupid thing? Aren’t you happy to be earning money? Now, Ah-Qiao said that she doesn’t want the things you collected. If you have a way to sell them elsewhere if you want to earn money, go there instead. Don’t let your big brother and the others come over in the future. They won’t come.”

Han Xiang panicked.

She had also gone to ask around outside, but the price they offered was very low, so she couldn’t earn much money anywhere else.

“Mother, don’t! I know I was wrong, Mother…!” Han Xiang repeated over and over while pulling Han Yuan’s arm.

She was really scared.

If her parents didn’t care about her, what would she do in the future?

The money she had earned previously was used to build her residence and buy a carriage. Now, she only had that little capital left.

Some things were still on credit, and she had to pay at the end of the month.

If she lost this deal, her status in the Zhou family would plummet.

Han Yuan pulled her arm away from Han Xiang.

“You muddle-headed girl! Don’t drag the rest of our family down!”

It wasn’t easy for them to have a profitable job. The entire family was cautious, afraid that they would screw up their new business.

And with that, Han Yuan turned around and left.

Han Xiang wanted to chase after her, but she was stopped by her sisters-in-law. “Han Xiang, I’ve never said a word about you in all these years that I’ve married into the Han family. But today, I have to say something about you. Some things were self-righteous and never cherished, but that didn’t mean that we didn’t value them. A few taels of silver a month might not worth much to you, but it is to us. For these few taels of silver, our entire family would work together, not daring to complain about hardship or tiredness.”

“You can think of a way for yourself in the future. Your eldest brother and the others won’t come to the Zhou Family Village to help you carry things anymore.”

Han Xiang wanted to curse.

But she didn’t dare to do so now. Although her father and three brothers didn’t come, without their permission, her mother and sisters-in-law wouldn’t say such things to her.

Every word pierced her heart.

“Mother!”

Han Xiang chased after her.

Zhou Anshan pulled her back, “Ah-Xiang, Ah-Xiang, don’t be anxious.”

Han Xiangxiang ruthlessly slapped Zhou Anshan.

“Zhou Anshan, there’s nothing good in your family. You’re even more of a good-for-nothing!”

Zhou Anshan’s face turned red after being slapped.

He glared at Han Xiang angrily.

In the end, the hand that was raised still hit him.

Han Xiang stood at the side and inhaled deeply, tears rolling down her face.

She just didn’t understand why she would change her life to this. Her sister, who doted on her, suddenly hated her, and her parents and brother, who doted on her, came to criticize her.

She just wanted to live a good life. Was that so wrong?

Back in the Han Village, Father Han, Han Yuan, and the three Han brothers discussed for half a night before deciding to make a trip to the Heng Manor.

Han Yuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She was a little nervous and a little scared..
