"Think about it, what's your mother's situation right now? Her belly is so big, she's about to give birth. If you tell her such worrying things now, aren't you worried that she won't be able to handle it, and that something might happen to the baby in her belly?"
Upon hearing this, Daya's expression changed. She knew that her mother and father were looking forward to this younger brother, and that nothing could happen to him.
"But...but that's what people outside are saying about Sister Luoxue!"
Daya was still very upset. Hearing others say bad things about Han Luoxue made her feel terrible.
"These are all minor matters. Han Luoxue isn't even here. Besides, they're just gossiping. Will your sister Luoxue lose a piece of her flesh?"
"Don't tell anyone about this, not even your parents, understand? Your father is so busy every day, you don't want to bother him with such a small matter, do you? Your mother is heavily pregnant, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your little brother, would you?"
Da Ya quickly shook her head.
"Besides, you're already so old. You should try to help your parents with some chores instead of constantly causing them trouble, right?"
This time, Daya nodded hastily, and Han Juhua smiled with satisfaction. She's just a little girl; how could she possibly fool her? It's all just a matter of a word from Han Juhua.
Is her dear aunt really that eager to have a son? But whether the child can be raised to adulthood is still an unknown.
She wanted to see what good would come of her aunt's family, who were being taken care of by Han Luoxue!
...
"Grandpa Han Qiang!"
Han Luoxue went to Le'an Town again and found Han Qiang. Han Qiang hadn't been in good spirits these past few days. Although he had already sent Han Juhua back to the village, thus avoiding seeing her again, he still felt that the villagers were looking at him strangely when he walked on the road.
Although his son told him not to care about what others thought.
Anyone with a modicum of rationality would know that he was framed and persecuted. Yet, the way those people looked at him still made him uncomfortable.
Han Qiang had always been ambitious and never imagined that he would be schemed against in his old age.
This is only because Han Luoxue and the others are so magnanimous and have always stood by his side; otherwise...
His eyes darkened. This Old Master Han was truly a scoundrel. The fact that he'd raised his daughter to be like this speaks volumes about the couple's character.
He wasn't the only one affected; his son was too. These past few days, Han Qiang has been trying to stay home as much as possible, not wanting to hear any gossip.
"Snow Girl, what brings you here?"
Although Han Qiang looked a bit haggard, he still tried his best to smile when he saw Han Luoxue.
"I happened to be back today, so I came to see you. Are you alright?"
Han Qiang sighed: "I'm so old, what could possibly happen to me? It's just that Han Kun..."
The son did nothing wrong in that matter, but the outsiders didn't think so.
"Grandpa Han Qiang, the reason I came to see you today is actually related to Han Kun."
Han Luoxue knew how dangerous the rumors were in the village, and she had always wanted to promote Han Kun.
Whether he can handle it or not depends on himself. "Then I'll call him over!"
I even considered calling him over from the next room. He'd lost weight in just a few days. That Han Juhua really is a menace.
Han Luoxue secretly cursed in her heart, thinking that if she had known that her daughter would be so restless, she should not have saved her in the first place.
Some people are just like that; they simply don't know how to be grateful.
"Xue'er, is there something you need from me?"
Han Kun forced himself to speak.
In the past few days in the village, facing the pointing fingers and whispers, he tried to act as if nothing had happened, but after returning home, he still felt resentful. He hadn't done anything wrong; he hadn't provoked Han Juhua. He was just a victim, so why did everyone treat him like this?
"Han Kun, I heard from Han Qiang's grandfather that he wants you to take charge of the breeding farm, right?"
Han Kun nodded. He was initially quite willing, but the way people were looking at him lately had made him extremely unhappy. He did want to go out for a stroll; after all, it wasn't far from the capital. He was still young and had plenty of strength; he was sure he could earn a living if he went out.
“I don’t think you need to get involved in the farm’s affairs. My grandparents and Grandpa Han Qiang are taking care of it, so I’m already very relieved.”
Han Luoxue smiled slightly, and Han Kun felt a little disappointed upon hearing this. Did Han Luoxue mean she didn't trust him?
He was still feeling very upset.
"All right!"
Seeing his face fall, Han Luoxue chuckled: "I recently opened two shops in the capital, and I want to combine them into one business to deal in grain."
"Would you like to help out at that shop? I've already found some people there, including some very experienced ones. But you're family, so I trust you more. Go over there and keep an eye on things for me, learn from the shopkeeper, and once you've mastered the skills, I'll hand the shop over to you to manage."
"However, let's be clear from the start: I'm just giving you a chance. Whether you can live up to it depends on you!"
"The wages for working in this kind of shop should be calculated according to the standards for ordinary people outside. Is that acceptable to you?"
Han Kun was initially disappointed when he heard that Han Luoxue wasn't going to use him. He knew that Han Luoxue remembered what happened that day, and might even think that he had seduced Han Juhua in the past. He was truly innocent; when had he ever seduced Han Juhua? He had always kept his distance from that woman.
Han Kun had no idea when Han Juhua had taken a liking to him. He felt particularly unlucky. If there was anything about him that Han Juhua liked, he was willing to change it, even if it meant constantly changing it.
Unexpectedly, Han Luoxue gave him another chance.
"Luoxue, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you saying you're going to take me to the capital?"
Han Kun was still a little incredulous, afraid that he had misheard.
Seeing his surprised expression, Han Luoxue smiled slightly: "That's right, you know my goal has never been this small village. I want to do business in the capital, a lot of business. I'll definitely need a lot of people around me. Would you like to work with me?"
"Of course, I would prefer you to be a capable person."
Han Qiang's eyes welled up with tears. Despite his advanced age, he couldn't help but wipe his nose. He never expected that Han Luoxue would still believe in them at this time.
Han Kun also looked up, his nose tingling, but he didn't want to shed tears in front of Han Luoxue.
It is said that men do not easily shed tears. He is a man, and no matter how strong his emotions are, he does not want to show them in front of Han Luoxue.
