Chapter 135: The Unfilial Daughter
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Heng Yi didn’t know much about this, so Han Qiao explained to him, “It’s said that the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little devils are hard to deal with. Although Grand Master Wang isn’t your general, he has some means and connections to get to the position of a constable. There’s no benefit in offending him, so you might as well take advantage of the situation.”
“Of course, it would be better if he doesn’t spare a single glance at you. If he asks you to bring him into the mountains, don’t reject him immediately. You still have to tell Constable Qin since he’s your boss.”
Heng Yi nodded.
He didn’t know that there were so many twists and turns to hunting.
Han Qiao saw Heng Yi’s tired face.
“Clean up and go to sleep.”
Heng Yi nodded.
Heng Manor was quiet, but many people couldn’t sleep at all.
For example, the Han Family in Xishan Village.
Han Xiang returned home crying.
“Father, Mother, Zhou Anshan hit me.”
Han Xiang was already pregnant. It was such a cold day, and she was not wearing much. She was so cold that she was trembling.
Half of her face was swollen.
“He and his cousin are in an ambiguous relationship, and he doesn’t allow me to say anything.” Han Xiang started crying.
Mother Han told her to wash her face and change into thick clothes.
She was still pregnant, so she had to be more careful with herself.
Han Xiang sobbed and said, “It’s all Big Sister’s fault. If she had cared about our sisterhood when we visited her, Zhou Anshan wouldn’t have given me a hard time when we came home.”
“What did your sister do to you?” Han Yuan asked.
Father Han remained silent.
The other members of the Han Family looked at Han Xiang.
Han Xiang shrank back and answered, “I only bought a few mu of land and needed some money to repair my house. 1 asked her to lend me some money, but she refused.”
“How much did you ask from her?” Han Yuan asked.
“How much can I borrow from her? It was nothing more than ten or twenty taels. She was the one who promised me back then, but she went back on her word.”
If it was three to five taels, the family would have some.
But Han Yuan didn’t want to lend it to her daughter.
Since the family had not split up yet, they wanted to put the house up for use first, so that when the time came for them to go their separate ways, they would still have a place to stay.
Buying land, and building houses would all require money. What thing in the world didn’t cost money?
Moreover, they planned to buy a few more mu of wasteland. When they reclaimed it, they could grow more vegetables and raise more chickens.
The more they bought, the more free gifts the village would give away when dividing the land. The family was also very tight on money.
Han Qiao was rich, but she couldn’t ask her daughter for money.
Mother Han dragged Han Xiang to wash up, but she couldn’t help but ask her, “What’s going on?”
“Mother, don’t you believe me? Look at my face, am I going to lie about something like this? Don’t you believe that Zhou Anshan hit me?”
“Mother, Zhou Anshan is not human. He hugged his cousin on our bed and refused to admit it when 1 caught him.”
Thinking of this, Han Xiang gritted her teeth.
She would not let that b*tch off so easily.
After she dealt with Zhou Anshan, she would deal with that b*tch.
If she wanted to sleep in Zhou Anshan’s bed, she had to ask her if she agreed.
The most important thing now was to get Han Qiao’s house.
Back in the main room, Father Han had been silent all this while. Han Yuan asked him in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you?”
“How much of what you said about Ah-Xiang is true?” Father Han asked.
This matter was really hard to say.
“I’ll go to the county town tomorrow and ask Ah-Qiao what’s going on.”
“Yes.”
Both husband and wife had their own thoughts.
Han Yuan knew that Han Xiang must have lied.
But she didn’t know which aspect Han Xiang was lying about.
Father Han felt that since Han Qiao had moved to the county town, she had not returned. His parents were still living in the county town with her as well. As their son, he had to go and visit them.
He also wanted to ask about the reason for this matter.
It was best for sisters to live in harmony. If they fell apart, it would be better.
Sisters falling out…
When Father Han thought of this, he felt upset.
Therefore, before dawn, he got up and drove the ox cart to the county town.
He did not go empty-handed. There were many sweet potatoes at home now, so he brought a few baskets of sweet potatoes and caught two chickens.
He was afraid that he couldn’t find the way, so he called Han Ming to come with him.
He thought that Han Ming and Han Qiao were quite close, which was the reason why he brought him along.
The father and son were silent on the way.
When Han Xiang woke up in the sun, she found out that her father and younger brother, Han Ming, had gone to Puyi County together. She felt a little uncomfortable at that thought.
She gritted her teeth and went to find Han Yuan, “Mother, can you give me the key to my sister’s house? 1 want to go to her place to take a look.”
“What are you going to see?” Han Yuan asked.
“Ah-Xiang, I couldn’t give you the key. Your sister is different now. Don’t provoke her.”
“All these years, your sister has also suffered. Now that she’s finally leading a good life, we should be happy for her.”
Mother Han advised earnestly.
Han Xiang didn’t listen at all.
“Mother, if you don’t want to give it to me, why don’t you accompany me to take a look? I quite like my sister’s house.” She vaguely replied.
“At that time, she said that if 1 divorced Zhou Anshan, she would give me that house.”
Han Yuan looked at Han Xiang in astonishment, “You’re doing this for that small courtyard instead of living a good life with Zhou Anshan?”
“Mother, how can you think of me like that?” Han Xiang’s eyes were red.
“It’s good that you don’t think that way. Let me tell you, Ah Xiang, live your life well. Your sister is soft-hearted. Don’t go overboard. However, if you go down this path, not only will your sister ignore you, but your father and 1 will also not acknowledge you as our daughter.”
When Han Xiang heard this, she was afraid and angry.
“Yeah, she’s rich now, and she’s married to a capable man like Heng Yi, yet you want me to listen to her? Why didn’t you stand up for her when she married that bastard Sun Yiming?”
When Han Yuan heard this, she felt so angry that she almost fainted.
“You, you…”
Some things couldn’t be investigated deeply, and there were things that couldn’t be said.
Once it was spoken out loud, all the covers were removed.
Han Yuan was furious.
She raised her hand and hit Han Xiang on the shoulder. “How did I give birth to a clueless fool?”
Han Xiang didn’t feel much pain.
However, she felt very uncomfortable by her mother’s accusation.
“You despise me now. Back then, you clearly said that I was the most obedient and sensible daughter you had. That’s right, I’m not as well married as Han Qiao. 1 can’t bring help to the family, and I can’t bring the family to earn money. Just go lick her feet now.”
“Alright, shut up.” Han Yuan’s voice was low.
The three daughters-in-law who were by the door heard it all. Especially Han Xiang’s cruel words.
She felt even more ashamed.
Han Yuan’s voice was very stern, and Han Xiang trembled in fear.
She looked up at her mother’s expression and was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
“Mother…”
“I’m not your mother. 1 don’t have an unfilial daughter like you.”
Han Yuan said coldly and walked out.
She looked at her three daughters-in-law and said, “What are you doing here? Hurry up and get to work.”
Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Madam Mu hurriedly responded, running as fast as they could.
Han Yuan quickly returned to her room and beat her heart a few times, but she couldn’t make herself feel better.
Why did she give birth to such an unfilial daughter?
