He wasted so many tears for nothing!
The two girls were so frightened that they took several steps back; they were truly terrified by Han Xiaochuan's gaze.
When Liu Dajiao saw her daughter being bullied, her expression changed, and she angrily said, "Han Xiaochuan, what are you saying? What happened to our daughter? Why should they open the door and talk to you? Let me tell you, we're done. From now on, my daughter and I have nothing to do with you! Get out of here right now! I'll beat you to death!"
As Liu Dajiao spoke, she took off her shoe and started hitting Han Xiaochuan hard across the face.
Han Xiaochuan didn't expect this woman to attack without saying a word. His expression changed, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but a large shoe sole slapped his mouth with a loud thud!
Han Xiaochuan felt a salty taste in his mouth, and he glared fiercely at Liu Dajiao: "You fierce woman, you actually dared to hit me!"
"If you don't get out of the way, I'll keep hitting you!" Liu Dajiao said coldly.
As she spoke, she waved the shoe in her hand, startling Han Xiaochuan, who shrank back and turned to run away, shouting as he ran, "Liu Dajiao, you fierce woman! I'll see who dares to marry you in the future!"
Liu Dajiao sneered, "Still better than you! Go home and starve to death!"
Only after Han Xiaochuan had finally disappeared from sight did she turn to look at the several aunties who were watching.
The group looked embarrassed and said with awkward smiles, "Big Foot, I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll head back first!"
"Oh dear, my husband will be here soon, I have to go home and cook!"
"I'm leaving too, I have something to do at home!" The group left quickly, and Han Dajiao put down her shoes, carefully put them on, and looked at her two daughters with a gentler gaze.
"Were you scared just now?" The two little girls shook their heads.
"You did the right thing today. If you run into Han Xiaochuan again, just ignore him!"
The two little girls ran into Liu Dajiao's arms, looking at her anxiously: "Mom, are you really not going to be with her?"
"Mom, please don't forgive him, okay? We don't want him to be our father!"
Liu Dajiao felt a pang of sadness, suddenly realizing how inadequate she had been in the past. She thought that working hard, providing food for the children, and ensuring they didn't go hungry was the best thing she could do for them.
Little did they know how resistant they were to Han Xiaochuan.
This is Han Xiaochuan's biological daughter! She's truly a beast; the beating she received was far too lenient.
...
Upon hearing the news, Han Lenghua simply sighed, "I knew Han Juhua was unreliable, but she suddenly left, and I don't even know where she went!"
Do you think she might have gone to the capital?
Back then, Han Luoxue entrusted Han Juhua to them, and even said last time that she would marry her off to someone far away. It turns out they didn't take good care of her.
"How far is it from here to the capital? She has no money, how will she get there?"
Yan Gang frowned: "She probably couldn't have run to the capital on her own. She was probably afraid of being targeted by the villagers, and she also ran out of food, so she went out to find another way to survive!"
"Although we don't know where she is now, at least she's not causing us any more trouble, so let's just leave her be!"
Han Lenghua thought about it and realized that made sense. She felt ashamed to have a niece like that.
"You should write a letter to inform Xueya."
Han Lenghua thought for a moment and then instructed, "Although we know she couldn't possibly run to the capital, what if she does?"
Yan Gang nodded; this woman was really too much of a worry.
"By the way, Leng Hua, when I went to the capital last time, I found that people from our village are doing better there than we are here. You see, there aren't many children in our village anymore, and we don't even have a teacher anymore. Should we go to the capital to look for Xue Yatou?"
Actually, he had considered this issue back in the capital. Although they now have some assets, they are ultimately all left to them by Han Luoxue.
When Han Luoxue returns, they will definitely return the things. What can they possibly have on their own?
Moreover, those who went with Han Luoxue live much better lives than those in the village. Especially Han Qiang, I heard his son is very successful now.
If Leng Hua and I had gone with them back then, perhaps Han Qiang's position would be ours now.
Yan Gang was still somewhat unwilling.
“Yan Gang, but I think we’re already doing really well. This is something we never even dared to dream of before. Do we want to go back to the past? If we do, we’ll have to start all over again, and I’m worried our child won’t be able to adapt!”
Han Lenghua is rather conservative. She's used to a comfortable life and doesn't want to change unless she's desperate to make a living...
Just like back in Yanjiacun, when life was almost unbearable, she still never thought of changing it.
"Sigh, I was just asking for your opinion. If you don't want to go, we can just stay here!"
"You're right, we live a life we never dared to dream of before. My only worry is the children!"
Yan Gang sighed, "The school over there is really good. All the children in the village can go to school, and they already know quite a few characters at a very young age. Back then, Xue Yatou said that if the children know more characters, they will have many more opportunities in the future, and maybe they won't even have to farm anymore! I just want our two daughters and son to have a bright future!"
These words made Han Lenghua pause, and she thought of her two daughters.
The eldest child is getting on in years, almost ten, and will be getting married in five years.
The youngest is already five years old, and there's also this newborn son.
If they continue to live here, what kind of life will her children lead? Her two daughters, like herself, will marry some country bumpkin and live a life of toiling in the fields.
When her son grows up, he will get married and bring a girl from a neighboring village to live on, just like her, working in the fields!
Han Lenghua suddenly hesitated; she didn't want her children to continue living this kind of life.
"Yan Gang, do you also hope to bring the children to the capital?" Han Lenghua asked timidly. Yan Gang sighed, "I just hope that their future will not be like ours, and that they will have more hope!"
"And what about your parents?"
They could still offer some help to Yan Gang's parents in Hutouya Village, even if it wasn't much, they could at least take care of them.
If they go to the capital, they might not be able to return even once a year, and that would be...
"This..." Yan Gang hesitated for a moment. Actually, he wanted to ask Han Luoxue if she could bring her parents along.
But then he felt that his idea was too much. Han Luoxue had already helped them a lot, so why should he help her unconditionally time and time again?
