Han Juhua's eyes reddened as she spoke, while her aunt's eyes shone brightly: "What you mean is..."
"I didn't mean anything by it. I was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart! Actually, you should trust my third uncle and the others. They're all here, and they'll take good care of Ruoxue!"
Han Juhua's words made the aunt even more certain that Han Luoxue was not doing well outside.
She had always thought Han Luoxue wasn't a very good person. And now? She felt even more so.
"Hasn't there been any news about her husband?" the auntie still asked, worried.
Han Juhua sighed: "Actually, my third uncle has also sent people out to inquire. I believe we should have news soon!"
"Oh dear, that Xue'er girl is really quite pitiful. I used to think Han Yuchen was a good guy, how come he's so unreliable?"
The aunt muttered to herself as she hurriedly said goodbye to Han Juhua. She had to tell her friends about this big news; the village was so boring these days, it would be good to have something to talk about.
Watching the aunt's quick steps, Han Juhua's lips curled into a mocking smile.
So what if Han Luoxue is doing well in the capital? And what about Han Mingyuan? Even if he becomes an official, the people in their village don't know.
However, there is still a problem right now, namely her eldest aunt, Han Lenghua.
She needed to get along well with her aunt, so she couldn't let the secret slip.
No, Aunt hasn't been in contact with the capital recently, has she? Maybe Aunt doesn't even know that Han Mingyuan has become an official. If she did, her whole family would probably have gone there already.
Han Jinghua thought to herself and slowly went to Han Lenghua's house.
Han Lenghua was at home with her two children. Her belly was already very big. She remembered that Han Luoxue had said before that it should be a son.
Han Lenghua was extremely hopeful and usually very careful, after all, she only had two daughters, and this son was still very important to her.
Seeing Han Juhua enter, Han Lenghua hurriedly greeted her, "Juhua, what brings you here?"
Although Han Lenghua spoke to her, she didn't get closer. Mainly because she hadn't had a very good impression of Han Juhua in the past, and she was worried that she might suddenly do something.
This woman is usually impulsive, and now Han Lenghua isn't alone. Yan Gang told her to be careful in everything she does.
Daya and Xiaoya were also inside with them.
Seeing the wariness on Han Lenghua's face, Han Juhua's expression turned cold. If it were Han Luoxue who came today, her aunt would probably be very enthusiastic, right?
Haha, what relatives? Her aunt used to treat her quite well, but now…
These people are all opportunists; they all look down on themselves, don't they?
"Auntie, I just got back and haven't had a chance to come over and talk to you. You look much better lately!"
Han Juhua was also quite eloquent; as she spoke, she stepped forward, affectionately taking Han Lenghua's hand. Looking at Han Lenghua's already prominently swollen belly, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She had been pregnant before, but she miscarried.
It will be very difficult to get pregnant again later on. I don't know if I will ever have the chance to become a mother again.
"Really? I feel a bit haggard lately, and I haven't been sleeping well at night!"
When I met Han Juhua, I spoke to her quite well, while Leng Hua was a bit more enthusiastic.
Han Juhua took out two pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to Daya and Xiaoya.
The two little ones didn't take it immediately; they both looked up at Han Lenghua with expectant expressions.
Although their family's financial situation has improved, Han Lenghua, who is always frugal, is reluctant to buy candy for her children.
"You should accept this from your older cousin!"
The two little girls happily accepted the gift after hearing this, then carefully opened it and put it in their mouths; it really was quite sweet.
Their family is doing quite well now, but candy is still a luxury, and their two daughters have only eaten it a few times.
"How are you feeling? Have you seen a doctor?"
Han Juhua still showed some concern. Han Lenghua smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's all normal. When you were pregnant with both of them, it was the same in the later stages."
"Auntie, is the baby in your belly a boy?"
These words made Han Lenghua even happier: "It's hard to say! The experienced old women in the village say it's probably a son, but for me, a son or a daughter is fine!"
Han Lenghua still hoped to have a son, but she couldn't say too much about Yu, otherwise, if she gave birth to a little girl, where would she put her face?
"Oh dear, Auntie, don't worry, you're definitely having a son."
Han Juhua exchanged a few more words with Han Lenghua. The two chatted casually. Now that she had returned to the village, she should at least maintain a good relationship with this aunt.
As for what people outside were saying, it had nothing to do with her. After all, she was just saying it casually; the rest was just their own speculation, and it had nothing to do with her.
Han Juhua is now a thoughtful person.
...
"Hey, did you hear? Han Luoxue's man dumped her!"
"Oh dear, what a pity, sis. She was the most beautiful woman in our town. What happened to her?"
"If you ask me, she deserves it. Who told her to be so stingy! She clearly had seedlings and other things, but she wouldn't help us..."
"Who told you that? Surely not? Isn't Han Luoxue's man Han Yuchen? That kid is from our village too, he doesn't seem like that kind of person!"
Some people disagreed, but an older woman immediately stepped forward: "What do you know? I heard that ever since Han Yuchen regained his appearance, he's been chosen by a rich family's daughter and is going to become their son-in-law..."
"That girl Han Luoxue is really quite pitiful!"
"What's there to pity? She's heartless. When she's capable of helping us, she's stingy. I think she deserves it, it's karma!"
The rumors outside got worse and worse. At first, some people spoke up for Han Luoxue, but later it became that she brought it on herself and deserved it.
People in the village who originally had a good relationship with Han Luoxue gradually changed their tune.
After all, Han Luoxue hadn't returned since she left, nor had she given them any benefits. As for the help Han Luoxue had given them in the past, several months had passed; who remembered it?
Han Lenghua stayed at home and didn't go out, so she didn't hear these words.
Daya heard a bit of the news and originally wanted to tell her mother, but Han Juhua grabbed her arm and said, "Daya, I don't recommend that you go and tell your mother now."
Han Juhua stuffed another candy into Daya's hand. Daya chewed on it, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why, cousin?"
