When the two returned, Old Man Wei was clearly getting impatient.
"Oh, you two are finally here! If you hadn't come, I would have gone looking for you..."
Han Yiyi felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly handed the meat buns she had just bought from the bun shop to Old Man Wei.
"Uncle Wei, I'm so sorry, I was held up by something. Please have this meat bun to tide you over..."
Old Man Wei quickly refused the meat bun that Han Yiyi offered him.
"No, no, that won't do. I'll eat at home. I was just worried something might have happened to you. I'm glad you're alright. Let's go back now..."
Han Yiyi stuffed the steamed buns directly into Old Man Wei's hands before the two of them got onto the oxcart.
Seeing Han Yiyi's resolute attitude, Old Man Wei stopped refusing. Besides, he was genuinely hungry, and the aroma of the meat buns made him even more ravenous. He simply opened the oil paper package and took a bite...
The oxcart had only taken two steps when it heard someone shouting behind it.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
Han Yiyi knew without turning around that it was that bastard Fan Ting's voice.
Sure enough, as soon as the oxcart stopped, Fan Ting ran up, panting, and was about to climb onto the cart when he looked up and saw Han Yiyi and Da Niu sitting inside. He then showed a look of disdain.
Upon seeing the people, he boarded the oxcart without saying a word. Old Man Wei glanced somewhat awkwardly at Han Yiyi and Da Niu, since the two of them had recently booked the oxcart.
When Han Yi saw Fan Ting's appearance, he wanted to kick him down, but seeing the unnatural look in Old Man Wei's eyes, he gave up and nodded slightly to him.
After all, the business of selling large intestines would be discontinued, and the oxcart would naturally no longer be contracted. However, Old Man Wei would definitely continue his oxcart business in the future. She did not want to affect Old Man Wei's business because of herself, so she only glanced at Fan Ting indifferently and ignored him as if he were an object.
Han Yi ignored him, but Fan Ting saw what Han Niu was carrying on his cart and, having somehow learned that he was now running a food business in town, spoke up directly.
"Don't do this food business anymore. A woman like you, showing your face in public without any self-respect, if people find out that you were my former wife, it will definitely affect my reputation..."
"If that's what Scholar Fan says, then if I don't do this food business, I can only wait to starve to death at home..."
"Whether you starve or not is none of my business. Anyway, you can't go to town to sell food anymore. I, Fan Xiucai, can't bear the shame..."
Han Yi was so angry at what he said that she almost laughed. In the end, she couldn't hold back and kicked the man off the oxcart...
Although the oxcart wasn't fast, it was inevitable that someone would get injured from being kicked off like that. Looking at Fan Ting's bruised and swollen face, Han Yiyi finally felt a little relieved.
Da Niu and Old Man Wei were stunned by what they saw. Fan Ting was also surprised that Han Yiyi dared to kick him out of the car without saying a word. After he reacted, he pointed at Han Yiyi and cursed.
"You filthy old woman, how dare you kick me! I'll kill you..." she said, and was about to step forward to attack Han Yiyi.
When Old Man Wei and Da Niu saw this, they rushed forward to pull them apart. Old Man Wei pulled Fan Ting, while Da Niu pulled Han Yiyi directly behind him.
"Scholar Fan, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, Han girl definitely didn't mean it..."
"I did it on purpose. I have absolutely no connection with you now. What I do is none of your business. If you dare to touch me, believe me, I'll kill you right now. Forget about becoming a top scholar, I'll make sure you don't even become a lowly scholar. You'll just become a ghost..."
Before anyone knew it, Han Yiyi had taken out the knife she used to cut braised meat, glaring fiercely at Fan Ting, looking as if she really wanted to fight to the death for him.
Originally, Fan Ting was being held back by Old Man Wei and looked like he wanted to go up and hit Han Yiyi. But now, seeing Han Yiyi's appearance and hearing what she said, he suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon and fell silent.
Looking down again, I noticed that Old Man Wei, who had been holding my hand, had let go at some point...
Seeing that Old Man Wei had already retreated to the side, and then looking at Han Yiyi who was still holding a knife and had a fierce look on her face, he was so embarrassed that he didn't want to stay there. In the end, he could only cough lightly, raise his hand to touch his swollen face, and say to Han Yiyi in a fierce but weak tone.
“I am a dignified scholar, I will not stoop to the level of a rude and ignorant peasant woman like you…” she said, then shouted at Old Man Wei.
"Are you going to leave or not? I have things to do back home..."
Hearing Fan Ting's words, Old Man Wei subconsciously glanced at Han Yiyi again. Seeing Han Yiyi nod, he helped her onto the oxcart.
Han Yiyi didn't want to push him too far. She didn't want to fight to the death with this kind of scum. Anyway, she had vented her anger today. The reason she did this was to let Fan Ting know that she was not a pushover and that he would not bully her at the drop of a hat.
Fan Ting was helped onto the oxcart by Old Wei, but he dared not sit in the carriage anymore, and instead squeezed in front with Old Wei.
For the rest of the journey, the group remained silent, with only occasional gasps of surprise from Fan Ting.
Back at the Fan family home, when Fan's wife saw Fan Ting return, she happily went to greet him. She had been home alone for the past few days, doing everything herself, which had put her in a good mood. Just as she was about to complain about why he had been gone for so many days, she saw her son with a bruised and swollen face and quickly went over to ask him what was wrong.
Fan Ting was too embarrassed to say that he was kicked by Han Yiyi, and only said that he accidentally fell off the oxcart on his way back.
Seeing that the injuries on his body did indeed look like he had been in a fall, she didn't think much of it. However, when she realized that Fan Ting had returned alone, Fan's wife's face darkened, and she asked.
"Why did you come back alone? Where is Cuihua...?"
Ever since Han Yiyi married into the Fan family, Granny Fan had never cooked a single meal or washed a single piece of clothing. But these past few days, she had been home alone, and if she didn't cook, she would have nothing to eat, and if she didn't wash her clothes, she would have nothing to wear. So she had to wash them herself.
After Han Yiyi was divorced, Ye Cuihua moved into the Fan family home. Given Ye Cuihua's personality and her pregnancy, it was naturally impossible for her to do such things.
However, Ye Cuihua felt guilty because of that incident, and since the two were not officially married yet, she wanted to make a good impression on Granny Fan. Therefore, Ye Cuihua did a lot of things for the Fan family in the past few days.
After a few days, she grew impatient and took Fan Ting back to the Ye family. Of course, they also needed to go back to discuss their marriage, since Ye Cuihua's belly was getting bigger every day and they couldn't delay any longer...
