Chapter 120: Delayed Reward
"Okay, Dad." Han Ziyan was unwilling, but what other choice did she even have? Han Ruochen, that bitch, had spoken to their father. And if she refused to follow the command of their father, it would only make him even more unhappy with her. However, as she turned to look down at the vegetables, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. What was she going to do now? The birthday party was just around the corner, and she had no money to buy herself a dress or a decent gift. If she failed in impressing the socialite, then she could forget about getting close to her.
Now Han Ziyan understood that Han Ruochen had turned into a miser; she would not lend her money at all. Even if she fought to the death with Han Ruochen, that woman would not budge. Han Ruochen was simply heartless, and there was no point in asking for money from her. In the end, even when she didn’t want to, Han Ziyan had to give up on asking for money from Han Ruochen because that woman would rather watch her drown than help her.
She threw the knife after cutting the vegetables and angrily returned home when she saw Han Ruochen sitting on the porch looking at the ocean. Her temper rose, and she walked over to Han Ruochen before saying to her angrily, "Han Ruochen, you really are heartless. Even if we are not biological sisters, we have grown up together. You really left me alone in times of need. Just wait, there will be a time when you will need my help, and I will do the same to you."
"Okay then, I will wait for the day when it happens." Han Ruochen didn’t even look at the woman. She had no hope when it came to Han Ziyan, as for her needing her help? Hah. If that day really came, then Han Ziyan would simply laugh at her. Given the kind of person she was, Han Ruochen knew that even if she helped Han Ziyan today, the woman would never accept her grace or feel grateful toward her.
Han Ziyan was furious; she turned on her feet and walked away.
Han Ruochen watched her leave and curled her lips.
"Ruochen!"
Han Ruochen raised her head and looked at her second uncle, who was staring at her nervously. She knew that something was going on and walked over to him. "What’s the matter, second uncle?"
Second Uncle Han wiped the sweat off his forehead. He really wanted to smoke, but he did not dare to do so in front of his niece. The last time he dared to smoke in front of his juniors, his mother smacked the hell out of him. He pursed his lips and then said to Han Ruochen, "Ruochen, from now on, if you have something to send, can you please come with me? I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand this any longer."
Han Ruochen frowned. "Was the restaurant owner rude?"
"It was not that he was rude; it was just that the goods that you caught..." he paused before looking around and then said in a low voice, "They were really expensive. I was worried that I would make a mistake while counting the bills!"
The elephant trunk clams sold for a total of eighteen thousand yuan, and then there were three turbots, which sold for three hundred yuan. To add to the trouble, there were also two conger eels! When he weighed them, both of them exceeded more than fourteen jin. Thus, both of the conger eels were sold for about four hundred and twenty yuan. The total amount thus became eighteen thousand seven hundred and twenty yuan.
The money alone scared him so much that all this while, Second Uncle Han drove his truck as if he were flying a jet. He didn’t even dare to stop for a second, as he was worried that he would be robbed the next second. He only dared to put his foot on the brakes when he was back at the safety of his house.
[Ding.]
[The Host had sold more than eighteen thousand yuan of seafood.]
[You need another seven thousand points to unlock the next level.]
Han Ruochen didn’t say anything. She was already glad that she had another chance at life, so how could she bother the system for holding back the reward?
She nodded and agreed with her uncle, who told her that he had kept the money at home. He asked her to come to his house and take the money later on because if he dared to bring the money to the Han family house, who knows what might happen with his sister-in-law eyeing the money of her daughter?
"Brother!"
Second Uncle Han paused and looked behind him; when he saw his elder brother standing outside, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. It was not that he was upset with his brother, but he could still not forgive his elder brother for breaking the heart of their mother. Back then, she did not want his elder brother to marry Meng Yunhan, but his elder brother was determined; he went down the lane even when their mother stopped him from doing it.
So how could he not blame him?
Second Uncle Han did not respond and turned to leave without looking at his older brother. When Han Yichen saw this, naturally, he was upset, but he also knew that he was in the wrong, so he couldn’t say anything. After all, he was the one who did wrong first.
"What kind of attitude is that?" Meng Yunhan knew that the Han family did not approve of her, and she felt annoyed by how they treated her. What was even more unacceptable was that her daughter was getting close to them. She glared at Han Ruochen and said to her, "How much more are you going to embarrass your father and me? Do you really have to be this close with those people?"
