Han's mother was so shocked by Han Yiyi's actions that she was speechless for a long time. When she came to her senses, she quickly stepped forward to help Fan Ting up.
Seeing Fan Ting's disheveled appearance, she glared angrily at Han Yiyi. However, before she could speak again, she heard Han Yiyi point at Fan Ting and start cursing.
"You scumbag! I warned you before that you were not allowed to come to my house again, or I would beat you every time I saw you. And you, Mom, he has already divorced me, and the two children have also cut ties with him. Why do you still want to go back to the Fan family with him? Your daughter, where were you when this scumbag abandoned me? Now you come here and start accusing me without asking why. Is this how you act as a mother?"
Han's mother was still angry, but when she heard Han Yiyi say that not only had she been divorced, but her child had also severed ties with Fan Ting, she looked at Fan Ting with some doubt.
Upon seeing this, Fan Ting quickly offered an explanation.
“Mother, as I told you before, I was confused at the time. I wanted to temper Yi Yi’s temperament. You have seen her current temperament, so I wrote the letter of severance in a moment of panic. But I promise that I will treat the three of them well in the future. Besides, I did this for their own good. I don’t want her to suffer so much…”
When Han's mother heard Fan Ting's words, and thought about how Han Yiyi had not only insulted Fan Ting but also kicked him, she realized that Han Yiyi's temper really needed to be tempered.
However, when she heard Han Yiyi say that she did not visit her when she was divorced, and that Han Yiyi's beating and scolding were indeed a bit too extreme, she calmed down before speaking.
"It's my fault. I didn't know you were divorced and I didn't come to see you before. But you can't blame your husband, Fan. She didn't mean to. You work too hard with your embroidery every day. Besides, she's just a woman. As long as you're still the legal wife, there's no need to care about other women. Moreover, your husband is now a scholar. If he becomes a provincial graduate and then a top scholar, he'll definitely have three wives and four concubines. Do you expect him to make such a fuss about them all?"
Good heavens! Listening to Han's mother's words, Han Yi felt her brain was about to explode. What kind of bizarre idea was this? Anyone who didn't know better would think that Fan Ting was some kind of Heavenly King.
In fact, Han's mother had this idea because she worked as a maid in an official's family when she was young.
The head of that family was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations and was quite wealthy. Naturally, he had many concubines and maids around him.
Therefore, she longed to marry a scholar, but her parents later betrothed her to a hunter, which made her look down on the hunter.
The hunter was injured while hunting. It was a minor injury, but she ignored it, didn't care, and didn't even call a doctor for him. As a result, Han's father was dragged out of a minor injury and lost his life.
As Han Yiyi grew up, she thought of marrying Han Yiyi off to an official family. But officials would never look at them. Even if they did, they would only take them back as concubines.
She knew perfectly well what kind of life the mistress and concubines of that household lived, and naturally did not want Han Yiyi to become a concubine.
Since that's the case, why not let her marry a scholar directly? Once he passes the imperial examination, she will naturally become the mistress of the house. But seeing Han Yiyi like this, who has only brought back a concubine, yet has caused such a commotion, that's why she's so angry.
Now that they were here, they naturally couldn't go back to town. Han Yiyi really didn't want to see Fan Ting, that scumbag, even once, especially since he was acting like he was thinking of her. So she directly spoke to Nangong Yuan.
"Yuan'er, throw him out, throw him far away..."
When Fan Ting heard Han Yiyi's words and saw the person opposite him walking towards him with a cold face, he was startled. He still vividly remembered the feeling of being abandoned. So, before Nangong Yuan could get close, he quickly turned to Han's mother and spoke.
"Mother, I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll leave the matter of persuading Yi Yi to you. Don't worry, I promise that no matter when, as long as Yi Yi is willing, she will always be my legal wife, and both of our children will always be my legitimate sons and daughters..."
Without waiting for Han's mother's response, he ran off in a flash. But because he was running too fast, he didn't notice the threshold and tripped over it, falling flat on his face.
Before the person could even get up, Nangong Yuan stepped forward and kicked the door again, then slammed it shut with a bang. Luckily, the door to Han Yi's house was sturdy; otherwise, it would have fallen apart after these few times.
When Han's mother saw that Han Yiyi had not only chased the person away but also closed the door, her anger flared up again.
"You brat, how did you become so temperamental? I went through so much trouble to find you a scholar like Fan Ting to be my son-in-law, just so you could live a good life and be the mistress of the house. What have you done now? You've found yourself a fool. You're going to drive me crazy..."
It wasn't that Han's mother went through great lengths to find Fan Ting. No, it wouldn't be wrong to say that she went through great lengths to find a scholar to be her son-in-law. At least, she would ask if the person who came to the Han family to propose marriage for Han Yiyi was a scholar.
Because the original owner was very beautiful before she got married, there were quite a few people who came to the Han family to propose marriage. However, Han's mother knew that the men were not scholars, so she rejected them all. As for Fan Ting, it was by chance that he met the original owner in town and took a liking to her.
Han's mother was very pleased to know that he was a scholar. However, since he would embroider at home to earn money to supplement the family income, Han's elder brother and sister-in-law were worried that they would lose this income after he got married. So they directly asked Fan Ting for a dowry of ten taels of silver.
If we're talking about whether Han's mother loved the original owner or not, she definitely did, but it seems like she didn't love her that much.
When Nangong Yuan heard Han's mother keep calling him a fool, a cold look appeared in his eyes. He couldn't understand how Han Yiyi, such a cheerful person, could have such a mother.
“Mother, I’m doing just fine now. I don’t need to rely on anyone else. Besides, Yuan’er isn’t stupid. He just bumped his head and hurt it. He’s not some random guy I found. He’s just like Zihui and Zicheng, a member of this family. Also, this is my home. I built this house with my own money. The three of us have absolutely nothing to do with that scumbag Fan Ting anymore. We definitely won’t let him into our house again. If you can’t stand it, you can leave now. Otherwise, you’ll just end up hurting yourself…”
Han Yiyi really couldn't stand this old woman anymore and wanted to kick her out.
