Those who lent him grain were people who had some past relationship with his family. The intention was that he would repay it if he had the means, and not if he didn't.
The two of them ate sparingly, but it didn't last long. It was only then that Han Juhua realized that being with Han Xiaochuan was worse than her life back home.
She regretted it, and Han Xiaochuan regretted it even more. Although Liu Dajiao couldn't have a son, at least when she was home, he could eat his fill and didn't have to worry about what to eat tomorrow or the next meal.
But now, we live in constant fear of losing our livelihood.
Han Xiaochuan went to see Liu Dajiao several times, but unfortunately, she didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Just as Liu Dajiao said before she left, she was better off without Han Xiaochuan.
Left with no other option, Han Xiaochuan could only try to persuade his two daughters. However, he had left a very bad impression on them in the past, and they were afraid of him and would stay far away from him, so it was even less likely that they would speak well of him.
Han Juhua persisted for less than half a month, and in the end, Han Xiaochuan, who was starving, took his anger out on her.
The two often fought each other. Although Han Xiaochuan was a bit weak, he was still a man and was much stronger than Han Juhua.
The two often fought, and they didn't know what the baby in Han Juhua's belly was. Despite being beaten several times, the baby was never hurt.
Later, Han Juhua couldn't take it anymore and left Hutouya Village overnight.
She had no money on her, so she could only walk and ask for directions back to the capital. When she got hungry on the road, she could only beg for food, but at that time everyone was struggling, and there was very little she could get.
Occasionally, someone would take pity on her and give her a little bit of porridge.
In the past two weeks, Han Juhua has talked a lot.
Speaking of this experience, Han Juhua still feels lingering fear.
Her mother, Meng, was heartbroken upon hearing this. When had her daughter ever suffered like this? It was only through her daughter's ability that she managed to find her way here.
"Boss Han, I absolutely cannot let my daughter leave here. You are her biological father, please, just this once!"
Meng said, crying.
Old Han sighed deeply: "Do you think I'm happy about this? But you know the situation in our village. If we want to keep the chrysanthemums, we'll have to put in a good word for Han Luoxue..."
She regrets it so much now. If she had known Han Luoxue was so powerful, she would have been nicer to her niece back then.
Look at Han Qiang, he didn't actually help Han Luoxue much. He just helped her decide to separate her third son's branch of the family.
As a result, Han Qiang's family has benefited immensely. Han Qiang's son even married a girl from the city.
"Sigh, if only we had treated Han Luoxue better back then. Han Qiang is rich now, his son married such a capable woman, who knows when he'll bring him to the city to enjoy a life of luxury!" Han Laoda sighed.
Upon hearing Han Qiang's son's name, Han Juhua asked urgently, "What did you just say? Is Han Qiang's son Han Kun? What kind of wife did he find?"
She feels incredibly unlucky right now; every man she sets her sights on seems to be the best, only to be snatched away by other women.
This was true of Han Yuchen, whom she had previously been attracted to, and it was also true of Han Kun.
"Chrysanthemum, stop thinking about all that nonsense. The woman Han Kun found is Han Luoxue's good friend. If you dare to do anything reckless, even if your mother and I risk our lives, we can't protect you!"
Now, Han Laoda is in a dilemma. He wants to do everything he can to protect his daughter and not send her away, but he is also worried about offending Han Luoxue.
"What? How is this related to that bitch Han Luoxue again!"
No sooner had Han Juhua finished speaking than a slap landed on her face – this time it was Meng Shi who had done it!
Han Juhua burst into tears. No one knew how wronged she had been along the way. When she arrived at her parents' place, her own mother beat her without saying a word.
"Han Juhua, how many times have I told you, you need to be more polite to Han Luoxue in the future!"
Meng's face was grim, not because she was willing to give in, but because her whole family was now relying on Han Luoxue for survival.
It wasn't her who said it, but if Han Luoxue really wanted to drive them away, Han Qiang would definitely comply as long as she hinted at it.
And no one in the village would speak up for them, including Grandma Han and the others.
"Mother, don't you think everything I'm going through is because of Han Luoxue? Besides, I'm only saying this at home. Once we leave this house, I won't say a single careless word."
"My daughter has been wronged, can't she even vent her frustrations at home?"
Han Juhua spoke while crying, and Meng felt sorry for her, but she knew better than anyone what she should do now.
"Chrysanthemum, it's not that your mother wants to hit you, but..."
She sighed deeply: "Do you know that our entire village is relying on her now? In fact, it's not just our village, our whole town depends on Han Luoxue!"
"You might think it's okay to say whatever you want at home, since our outer gate is still closed and there are no outsiders here, so it won't reach Han Luoxue! But have you forgotten? Sometimes it's hard for people to change their habits! You keep calling Han Luoxue a little bitch and talking about her all the time. What if you go out and say it to others? Have you thought about what the consequences would be?"
"When those people beat you, it will be worse than when I beat you! I only beat you because you are my daughter, and I didn't use much force, so I still had some consideration. But will they have the same consideration?"
Han Juhua was stunned. She hadn't expected her mother to be so afraid of Han Luoxue now...
"But Mother, she's not good to us either! We're the ones who are related to her by blood, but she treats us worse than she treats Han Qiang! Don't you feel resentful?"
Meng's eyes hardened. How could she not have that thought? But she knew that she couldn't show anything right now, so she could only work hard and make a good impression on Han Luoxue. Maybe one day Han Luoxue would value her and give her some benefits!
Besides, don't they have a child? Han Yuze and Han Luoxue have always had a good relationship, and Han Luoxue hasn't shown any particular dissatisfaction with Han Yuze. It's likely that once Yuze is older, Han Luoxue will give him a bright future.
"We've already done pretty well to get to where we are now, so don't think about things like that anymore!"
Meng Shi saw things clearly. Thinking back to her past life and looking at the present, she realized that this was something she never dared to imagine before.
Of course, sometimes she would compare herself to Han Qiang, but she found that the more she compared, the more upset she became. In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it!
She didn't want to make any trouble. Her daughter was already a waste of her potential, and she was content as long as her son was doing well!
After all, her son was the one she cared about most.
"I understand, Mother. I'll be more careful with my words from now on!"
