"Han Laosan, give the grain back to your mother!"
Old Mrs. Han glanced at the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people present and sneered:
"Thirty catties, not a single ounce less."
"Heh, you didn't give me any grain, how could I possibly have any?"
"I don't care, if you don't give me food, I'll stay at your house, and I'll eat whatever you eat!"
"you..."
Han Mingyuan clenched his fists. No matter what, he, as a son, could not hit his elderly mother.
"Oh dear, I just got home and I heard the dog barking?"
Han Luoxue put down her basket and walked in, arms crossed.
Grandma Han noticed the change in her expression, but seeing the people around her reassured her.
"You brat, what are you doing here?"
"This is my home. What can I do at my own home?"
Han Luoxue glanced at the situation in the courtyard, and her expression suddenly turned cold when she saw the handprints on her younger sister's and mother's faces:
"Mother, who hit you?"
Yunniang didn't speak, but looked at Old Lady Han.
A sharp slap landed on Old Lady Han's face, causing her head to tilt to one side. When she turned back, blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Is she really that strong?" Han Luoxue was secretly surprised. It seemed she would have to be more careful and control her strength when hitting people in the future.
"You...you little brat, how dare you hit me?"
Grandma Han never expected to be beaten, and she looked at Han Luoxue with a cold, venomous gaze.
"You hit my mother."
"You... oh dear, you're asking for trouble! Your granddaughter hit her grandma! You're a monster who's been struck by lightning..."
Grandma Han twisted her thigh and sat on the ground, repeating the same trick.
What about you?
Han Luoxue ignored her completely. She walked up to Han Luoyu and asked softly.
"She's also my grandmother."
It was her again. This time, Han Luoxue moved and walked up to the weeping old lady Han.
“You brat, if you don’t return the thirty catties of grain, oh no, you even hit me, you have to give me at least fifty catties, I won’t get up if it’s less than that.”
Grandma Han thought Han Luoxue was scared and made an exorbitant demand.
Aren't you getting up?
Han Luoxue slapped Old Lady Han hard across the face again, but this time she controlled her strength slightly, only hitting her sideways and not drawing blood.
"you..."
Grandma Han wanted to fight back, but thinking of the food, she continued to cry.
Han Luoxue stood up nonchalantly, stretched out her hand, and smiled:
Where's my stick?
Han Luoyu had long disliked Old Lady Han, so she ran to the back of the door in a few steps and handed over a stick as thick as her arm.
Han Luoxue calmly accepted it, weighing it in her hand for a moment. Not bad, quite comfortable to hold.
Then...
"Ah... Han Luoxue has gone mad, she's going to kill someone..." Hearing the panicked shouts, Han Luoxue smiled indifferently.
Seeing that the leader had already run away, the three daughters-in-law also quickly slipped away.
After the Han family left, Han Luoxue helped them into the house.
She filled a bowl with spiritual spring water and had Yunniang and Han Luoyu wash their faces.
"Yu Chen, you've made a fool of yourself in front of everyone."
Yunniang looked at Han Yuchen apologetically. He had gone out with his daughter and hadn't even prepared a meal when he got back.
"Why don't you and Uncle Ba come over for dinner tonight?"
Han Luoxue felt a little guilty. Han Yuchen nodded, said goodbye, and went home.
But Doctor Xu sighed to the side:
"Your old lady is truly one of a kind."
This was the first time he had ever seen someone abandon their son's leg for the price of half a pig. He even suspected that Han Mingyuan wasn't the Han family's biological son.
"Are you really their biological son?"
Doctor Xu still asked.
"It should be right."
Han Mingyuan explained helplessly, "When my eldest brother was born, his first child was a son, so his parents were naturally happy that he could carry on the family line. The second child was also a son, which was rare in the village, so they were even happier. When my brother was pregnant, they hoped that this child would be a daughter, so that they could have both a son and a daughter. It's just a pity that it was another boy."
"When my eldest sister was born, my mother was as excited as a child. My second sister was exceptionally beautiful from birth, and my mother loved her the most."
"As for the fourth child, Mother said that she didn't want five children anymore, but Father insisted on making an even number, so Father loved the fourth child very much."
"Father, Grandpa loved Fourth Uncle so much, so why didn't he take him to see a doctor when Fourth Uncle had a high fever and was on the verge of death that year?"
Han Luoxue's words left Han Mingyuan speechless.
He didn't understand it at the time, but he's figured it out recently because the two of them are afraid of dying.
Both fathers and mothers are afraid of death. They can love and care for their children, but only if it doesn't affect their own interests.
Compared to their lives, all children could be abandoned without hesitation.
"Who knows? Maybe they didn't care about your fourth uncle that much back then."
Han Mingyuan didn't want to dwell on his parents' past. It was all in the past, and there was no point in bringing it up again. Doctor Xu had also said that his leg had a very high chance of recovery, and he trusted Han Luoxue.
He knew it was all thanks to Han Luoxue. He didn't know where his daughter's water came from, but his body began to change after they moved here.
"That's right, Father. If the Han family comes again in the future, we'll just drive them away."
Han Luoxue said with a smile, but Han Mingyuan felt bitter inside. Even if he severed ties with that side, he couldn't really kick them out.
Han Luoxue went to see Han Yuchen. She pulled him aside and asked:
"Dr. Xu's medical skills are quite good. My father can feel his leg again, and my little sister can feel pain in her foot. Your foot..."
Han Yuchen is a good person and has helped her before, so Han Luoxue still hopes to help him out whenever possible.
"My feet are different from theirs, they're probably beyond saving."
Han Yuchen looked dejected as he said this. He remembered that he was seriously injured at the time, and his maternal grandfather anxiously sought out many doctors, but unfortunately, despite everyone's best efforts, they could only save his life.
The scars on his face and his limp were something even military doctors couldn't help with, let alone a local folk doctor from a small town.
"Give it a try, it won't hurt you anyway."
For some reason, seeing Han Yuchen's dejected appearance made Han Luoxue feel uncomfortable and suffocated. She always felt that Han Yuchen shouldn't be like this.
"Think about it, the worst outcome is the same as now. Could there be any more serious consequences?"
Han Yuchen thought about it and realized that he was already used to it and couldn't be more disappointed.
"But what if it really works? Don't you want to be a normal person? You're still so young, and you'll have to get married someday."
Looking at the pretty face with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him, Han Yuchen wondered if her family would agree to him marrying her.
"Hey, Brother Chen, just give it a try." Han Luoxue was also speechless. This guy seemed so cold, why was he acting like a child at this moment? Did she need to sacrifice her charm and coax him like a child?
