Han Yixian spoke earnestly. Du Lianqiao was an honest man, and he didn't know how to respond to Han Yixian's humble attitude. It was really difficult for an honest and unassuming person to be cold and indifferent to someone.
When Han Yi first visited them, they kicked him out of their home, which was already the harshest treatment they could give him.
Du Yuhan certainly knew what kind of people her adoptive parents were; if they were to face Han Yixian, they would only be able to admit defeat.
Han Yixian can be so cold he can freeze you to death, but his ability to coax people is also unparalleled.
Seeing Han Yixian's humble attitude, Liang Shouzhen secretly nodded in approval. Han Yixian's attitude alone revealed his deep affection for Xiaohan.
He really didn't know what to say, and even Xiaohan's parents wouldn't interfere with her decision. If Xiaohan forgave Han Yixian and accepted him back, none of them would stop her.
The He family has just found their daughter, and they love her dearly.
Even if Xiaohan accepts Han Yixian again, Han Yixian will still have to go through a test if he wants to win the heart of the beauty.
Du Yuhan invited everyone to eat. Liu Gang, tasting Du Yuhan's cooking again, felt a pang of nostalgia. He sincerely hoped that his brother Xian could win Du Yuhan back soon, so he could also have a chance to freeload off her.
After finishing their meal, Han Yixian had no more excuses to stay and had to leave reluctantly with Liu Gang.
Han Yixian left, and the elders in the family all wanted to know what Du Yuhan thought, as this would directly affect their future attitude towards Han Yixian.
Du Lianqiao asked, "Xiaohan, what are you thinking? Are you going to forgive Han Yixian and accept him back? And how did he know you were here?"
Wang Yuqiao was also quite anxious. "Yes, Xiaohan, what are your plans?"
Du Yuhan said, "I haven't thought about it yet. But even if we don't end up together, we'll still be friends. You don't need to feel awkward, just treat him as my friend."
To be honest, I'm not keen on getting married. If I can avoid worrying my parents and being gossiped about, it's not bad to live a carefree and easy life without getting married.
So when Han Yixian's incident happened, I was only depressed for a while. I've let it go now that I've gotten through that phase.
I don't harbor much resentment towards Han Yixian, because I didn't give him my whole heart back then. I didn't even tell him that I had found my biological parents, nor did I tell him about your move.
I had reservations about him from the beginning because Han Yixian's family background and his family's attitude made me lack confidence in our marriage. Later, when that happened, I was actually somewhat prepared.
Du Yuhan said this to reassure the elders. There was no need to treat Han Yixian's arrival as a major crisis. She was already able to face it calmly.
The elders were somewhat relieved after hearing Du Yuhan's words, but they were still surprised to hear that Du Yuhan didn't want to get married and wanted to live alone. They hadn't expected Du Yuhan to have such thoughts.
Moreover, it seems this isn't because Han Yi injured her first, but rather because she had this thought from the very beginning. After that previous incident, this thought seems to have intensified.
This is not a good sign.
Wang Yuqiao hurriedly said, "Xiaohan, how could you have the idea of not getting married in the future? Who will take care of you when you get old?"
Du Yuhan said, "I have a nephew. I'll raise Haobo like my own son, and he'll take care of me in my old age."
When everyone heard that Xiaohan seemed to have made up her mind, they thought that she might really not be planning to get married.
Perhaps meeting Han Yixian initially sparked Du Yuhan's interest in marriage, but after what happened earlier, that idea must have been extinguished, solidifying her resolve not to marry. This won't do. How can a woman live her whole life without marriage or children?
Liang Shouzhen decided to call the He family in the township tomorrow and tell them about this. He needed to make them take good care of Xiaohan and make sure she gave up the idea of not wanting to get married.
Now that everyone thinks it might be good if Han Yixian could make Du Yuhan want to get married, they are no longer so opposed to Han Yixian.
After Han Yixian returned home, he contacted someone to arrange for Du Yuhan to have a well dug.
He thought that there was only one old well in Laohewan Village to provide drinking water for everyone, and Yuhan would have to fetch water herself, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. What if this made her tired?
Han Yixian planned to drill a hand pump well for Du Yuhan's family. This type of well is clean, hygienic, and convenient to use.
Since we've already dug a well for Du Yuhan's family, let's also dig one for the Du and Liang families.
In order to prevent other people from fetching water from Yuhan's house, Han Yixian also planned to fetch water for the village, so that the villagers would have no excuse to bother Yuhan.
Han Yixian quickly contacted someone to prepare the equipment, tools, and materials for the hand pump well so that they could go to Laohewan Village to drill the well the next day.
Du Yuhan couldn't fall asleep for a long time that night, and Han Yixian's image kept appearing in her mind's eye.
Since Du Yuhan lived alone in the new house, Du Lianqiao and his wife were worried and sent their two sons, Haifeng and Haichao, to keep her company. When the He family arrived, they were told to go home.
The two brothers slept in the second room on the east side. They were very happy to be living in the new house with their sister.
During the day, the three Du brothers often stayed at their sister's place and often ate at Du Yuhan's place.
The firewood that Du Yuhan's family used for cooking and the wild vegetables they ate were all brought back by Du Haifeng and Du Haichao.
Du Yuhan didn't have to worry about the chickens at home; the three brothers fed both families' chickens very well, saving her a lot of trouble.
Du Haifeng often helps his sister carry water, but Du Yuhan is reluctant to let her twelve or thirteen-year-old brother do heavy physical work. What if he gets too tired?
So Du Yuhan often carried water with her two younger brothers. Although it was less efficient, it didn't take much effort and was safer.
Du Yuhan only found the drinking water and electricity in the countryside difficult to adapt to, but everything else was fine. With space available, these two difficulties were easy for her to overcome; she'd get used to them.
The next morning, Liang Shouzhen rode his bicycle to the village. He needed to tell the He family what had happened in the past two days.
In the morning, Du Yuhan was teaching her two younger brothers in the house when she heard someone calling her from the gate. Upon closer listening, she realized it was Liu Gang's voice.
If Liu Gang is here, then Han Yixian must be here too. These two came yesterday, so why are they here again today?
Du Yuhan quickly went out of the house and opened the courtyard gate, only to find a lot of people outside.
Han Yixian was talking to a man who appeared to be the leader.
As soon as Liu Gang saw Du Yuhan come out, he said, "Yuhan, Brother Xian has brought some people to dig a well for your family. Do you want it dug in the front yard or the back yard?"
Du Yuhan thought back to yesterday when Han Yixian said he would find someone to dig a well for his house, and she didn't expect him to come today. This was too fast.
Du Yuhan said, "We grow vegetables in the backyard, so we use a lot of water. Let's fetch it in the backyard."
Han Yixian walked over and said, "It's fine if we fight in the backyard. I'll lead my men around to the backyard, and you can open the backyard gate."
Du Yuhan nodded and went to the backyard to open the door.
