Chapter 262: Heng Yi Attacks Father Han
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Grandma looked at her son and daughter-in-law.
The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
She took a deep breath, “Forget it, I won’t say anything else. You two can go back.”
They still hadn’t figured out their wrongdoings, so it was useless to talk about it.
Instead of letting them think that she was meddling in other people’s business, it was better to let them suffer a few more setbacks.
They would understand once they fell and bled on their own.
“Go home, go home,” Grandma waved her hand.
Father Han stood up.
“Father, Mother, you should rest early. We’re going back.”
“Alright, alright.” Grandpa urged impatiently.
Father Han and Mother Han left the room together.
Once the door closed, they immediately heard Grandpa’s voice come from inside, “What did you want to say to them? There was no point in talking to these two indistinguishable bastards. Why bother with all this trouble?” “Alright, quiet, you! Your advice came too late!” Grandma shouted angrily. Grandpa fell silent.
Father Han bit his tongue and said, “Let’s go.”
They were led by the servants to the main entrance.
Logically, as the biological parents of the wife, the servants should curry favor and try to say something to them, but they didn’t.
They only walked respectfully in front and would only speak when they reached a fork in the road. “This way, please.”
When they were some distance away from the main courtyard, Father Han suddenly said, “I’ll leave after saying a few words to Ah-Qiao.”
The servant who led the way was slightly stunned, but he replied indifferently, “Alright,”
However, an old woman was guarding the main courtyard. When she saw the servant boy, she asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
“Old Master says that he wants to say a few words to Madam.”
The old woman looked towards the door.
In the darkness, Father Han and Mother Han stood under the oil lamp.
“Please wait while 1 ask.”
In the main courtyard, Ah-Yao had just finished eating and was not asleep. Han Qiao was teasing him.
Heng Yi was reading beside them.
When they heard that Father Han had something to say, Han Qiao prepared to stand up.
Heng Yi put down the book and said, “You lie down. I’ll go.”
“Alright.” Han Qiao didn’t argue.
There were several oil lamps lit in the room. Ah-Yao always tilted his head to a bright spot while Han Qiao was lying beside him.
He would not tilt his head to look for light.
He loved his mother so much and was playing with his mother. He was so obedient that he was too lovable.
And besides, Han Qiao doesn’t feel like getting up. She doesn’t want to face her parents either.
She had the responsibility to care for them and not let them wander about. As for her feelings…
They didn’t have any feelings for Han Qiao, so she doesn’t have any feelings for them either.
Father Han’s heart sank when he saw Heng Yi walking out of the door.
If Han Qiao continued to make a fuss, it meant that she still wished to make amends. If she did not do anything, it meant that she did not hold hope for things to get better.
It didn’t matter to her what they thought or did.
If they wanted money, she would give him some money. Just a little. Any more and they would be gone. It was impossible for her to be so considerate towards them after how they treated her.
“Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, please.” Heng Yi said faintly.
After a year of experience and studying, Heng Yi was no longer the same as before.
Although he was still not good with words and was cold and indifferent, after people gained knowledge and were able to form their own opinions, they would still change a lot.
Especially since he had grown up and was tall, Han Qiao had taken good care of his clothes, food, and accommodation, which made him feel comfortable. His temperament naturally changed as well.
Heng Yi remained silent.
Father Han hesitated.
“Has Ah-Qiao rested?” Han Yuan asked in a low voice,
“No, the child is crying a little. She’s coaxing the child.”
This was a very good and irrefutable excuse.
Hearing this, Han Yua couldn’t blame Han Qiao for not meeting them.
Especially in front of Heng Yi.
Ah-Yao was Heng Yi’s first child. According to the saying of the rich family, he would inherit the family business in the future.
Naturally, she also hoped that her grandson would be close to her and the Han family, but so far, she had seen Ah-Yao several times, but she had never been able to carry him.
Ah-Yao was either carried to the cradle by the servant girl, Pucao, or Han Qiao didn’t allow anyone to hold or coax the baby. Most of the time, the child lies alone, either sleeping or watching with his eyes open for a while.
Han Yuan already had a sinking feeling that the baby would not be too close to them in the future.
The carriage was already waiting at the entrance.
“Mother-in-law, please.” Heng Yi respectfully said.
Father Han asked Han Yuan to get on the carriage first while he stayed by the side. “Heng Yi…”
“Father-in-law, please speak what you want to say.”
Heng Yi looked at Father Han.
He was taller than Father Flan by a head. He looked at Father Han condescendingly.
He didn’t seem to be any different from when they first met last year in Xishan Village, but he also seemed very different compared to then.
“Ah-Qiao has a misunderstanding about us. Help us persuade her. Just tell her H
“Father-in-law.” Heng Yi began.
“1 won’t stab her heart again. Just because you don’t love her doesn’t mean that 1 have to be like you who can’t tell right from wrong. You and Mother-in-law are biased, so naturally, my heart is biased as well, and so are the children.”
“In the future, when you come to my house to see the children, I will always welcome you to see Ah-Qiao. Don’t ever mention Han Xiang’s name. 1 don’t like her.”
“You’re my father-in-law. 1 respect you. Even if you’re wrong, 1 can’t point it out because if I say too much, All-Qiao, who’s stuck in the middle, will be in a difficult position. I couldn’t bear to see her sad and exhausted, so I endured it as much as 1 could.”
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a temper or hate. I don’t want to deal with you the same way I dealt with the Heng family, because you owe Ah-Qiao a debt of gratitude.”
“I don’t have any opinion on how to help her family. I just want her to be happy. But obviously, no matter how much she gave you, you all felt that it was only natural.”
“But is this really reasonable? Just look at how many married daughters from Xishan Village to Ninghe Town to Puyi County who are willing to repay their parents like her? If it was another family, they would definitely worship her as their ancestor.”
“None of you have.”
“Han Xiang has committed three crimes. The first time was when she spoke arrogantly. The second time was in Xishan Village. Ah-Qiao was so angry that she almost caused the fetus to die. When she returned home, I saw blood. Fortunately, both she and the child were fine, so I endured it. The third time was when she went to the Zhao family to sow discord, she didn’t even take Ah-Qiao’s words seriously.”
“I don’t want you to hold a grudge against you.”
“If Ah-Qiao treats Uncle and Auntie better than you, and gives them all the things she gave you, what would you think if she turned a blind eye to you?”
“I didn’t want to say these words because we’ll be moving to Chenzhou City soon. If nothing unexpected happens, Ah-Qiao will only come back a few times in her life. If not, then we will be separated by life and death.”
“It’s not that I didn’t want her to come back, but you can’t tell right from wrong. It’s not worth it for her to go back and forth for the so-called filial piety.”
“It’s already late. Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, go back and rest early. I won’t send you off.”
Heng Yi’s voice wasn’t heavy, and it didn’t even carry any emotion, as if he was just explaining something so simple.
However, Father Han was a little unsteady.
He reached out to support his body by the carriage so that he would not fall.
Heng Yi had already turned around and walked into the gate. Then the gatekeeper quickly closed the door.
Heng Yi wasn’t afraid that Father Han and Mother Han would get angry, or that they would go to Han Qiao and accuse him.
They were biased and could not distinguish right from wrong, so they had to pay a certain price.
The children knew that they were protecting their mother. As her husband, he could not pretend to be deaf and mute anymore..
