Chapter 319: She Brainwashed him again!
Meng Yunhan also noticed Han Ruochen. When she saw her, she could not help but glare at her. "Listen, Listen! Do you see how sensible your sister is? You are really the heartless one who doesn’t know that she should also help her family."
"I remember that it was your maternal family and Ziyan who spent all the savings of this family. Mom, don’t try to fool me just because I am honest; I have not forgotten that all these years you have bought a lot of clothes for Ziyan as for the rest of the family, most of the clothes came from grandma or they were hand-me-downs. All these years Ziyan has never worked. So what is wrong with her if she repays the kindness dad has shown her?" Han Ruochen was no longer a fool. She was not going to let some sarcastic comments get to her and hand her money to this mother-and-daughter pair. If she heeded their words, then her hard-earned money would only help Han Ziyan in her materialistic pursuit and getting married to a well-to-do man.
She had suffered enough in the hands of the two of them. Why would she do something so foolish?
That being said, she turned on her feet and walked away without caring about Han Ziyan and Meng Yunhan’s reactions.
Han Ruochen did not care about the two of them but Han Ziyan did take her words to heart. She bit her lips and turned to look at her mother before saying to her, "Mom, you saw how she is acting. If you don’t marry her off to a family which you can control, then she will definitely marry some big shot. She has money now; she will definitely not marry some villager or mud-legged person. Do you want Han Ruochen to get married to a rich man? That will be like Han Yong all over again? If you fuck up with the Han family for my dad, then Han Ruochen’s husband will definitely cause trouble for my dad."
Meng Yunhan was shaken up after she heard Han Ziyan’s words. That’s true. If Han Ruochen married someone rich then she and Yun Xinye would be in a lot of trouble. She married Han Yichen because Yun Xinye wanted her to use him as a stepping stone and once they got what they wanted, they would divorce their spouses and marry one another. But if Han Ruochen married someone influential, then she would definitely not let her and Yun Xinye off easily!
No, this won’t do. Han Ziyan was right. She needed to marry Han Ruochen to some poor mud-legged person; she could not let that girl become more and more influential or else things would become troublesome for her and Yun Xinye!
"Ziyan, you take some rest. Here, take this ten yuan and buy some clothes for yourself. I will go and talk with your father." Meng Yunhan hurriedly handed ten yuan to Han Ziyan and then went looking for Han Yichen; she had to stop Han Ruochen no matter what.
When Han Ziyan saw her mother leave, she knew that the matter was done for. Even if her mother had some reservations when it came to her, her mother was truly good to her father. As long as she dragged Yun Xinye out, her mother would never let the Han family rise, which was only right. This family was supposed to be their Yun family’s stepping stone. Who gave them the right to act out of the line?

"Old Han, there is something that I wanted to talk to you about." Meng Yunhan dragged Han Yichen into a room at once.
"Speak." Han Yichen did not want to talk to her but knew that if he did not listen to her, Meng Yunhan would definitely bring the matter up at dinner and ruin everyone’s appetite. So he might as well listen to it. He wanted to see what this woman wanted to say to him. And why was she in such a hurry?
"Old Han, you... what do you want to do about Ruochen’s marriage?" Meng Yunhan was upset when she saw the look in the eyes of her husband; in the past, it was her who used to give attitude to her husband and it was him who would always coax and cajole her. Who would have thought that she would actually comfort him like this one day?
She felt really unsettled.
"Why are you bringing up the matter of Ruochen’s marriage? We will talk about it when it’s time." Han Yichen frowned, not understanding where Meng Yunhan was getting this sudden idea from.
"This will not do!" Meng Yunhan shook her head. "Old Han, think about it carefully, now that Xuehan is no longer living with her husband, the matter of her being divorced is being spread all over the village. Who will willingly marry someone from our house? And then there is also the matter of dowry. We have no savings in our hands; how can we get our daughters married? Even if Han Ruochen is skilled in fishing and has a boat, it is not enough."
"Do you want to force the entire family into a corner just to get Han Ruochen married?" Meng Yunhan knew that Han Ruochen was quite close to Han Yichen but she could not let that girl make Han Yichen follow her around like a little dog. She had to do something!
Han Yichen sucked in a breath and said coldly, "Whose fault is it that the dowry money of the two daughters is gone?"
"I know that you are upset with me. I know you blame me, but I was also fooled by my cousin; he told me that he would definitely succeed, and I believed him. If I had known that he would have failed, I would have never given him the money. I was only thinking about the family, hoping that if he succeeded, then we would get some shares from his business, but who would have thought that he would fail? Anyway, what has happened has already happened. What is the point of brooding on it? We need to think about the present. I think it is better to find some honest man and let Han Ruochen marry him."
"She also has money in her hands; what if something goes wrong? What if some rotten man comes and tells all kinds of lies to fool her?"
