Chapter 345: Furious
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao was shocked and quickly pulled him into her arms.
She looked at his hand carefully.
The skin on his palm was torn, and he had bled a little, but not a lot.
Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
“Go get so water and ointnt.”
Small children had to be careful when they were sick or injured. After all, their body’s immune system was not yet well developed.
Han Qiao personally cleaned He Cheng’s wound. He was in so much pain that he gasped. Tears hung in the corners of his eyes, but he had stopped crying.
Han Qiao gently blew on his palm and sprinkled a little powder on him.
“Mother, it hurts.” He Cheng whispered softly. His childish voice was breaking her heart.
Han Qiao held him in her arms and asked Shulan to bandage He Cheng.
He Cheng whispered to Han Qiao, “Mother, what is a ‘little bastard’?”
“What?” For a mont Han Qiao thought she had misheard him.
Even Shulan looked at He Cheng in surprise.
“Grandma said I’m a little bastard. Mother, what’s a little bastard?” He Cheng asked again.

Fury surged in Han Qiao’s heart.
Han Yuan probably never dread that the three-year-old He Cheng would complain to her.
Perhaps she did not expect He Cheng to rember these words.
Han Qiao gently held He Cheng in her arms.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense. Cheng’er is mother’s treasure, mother’s son.”
He Cheng was stunned for a mont before he laughed.
She snuggled into Han Qiao’s arms. He sohow felt hurt despite not understanding what his grandmother had ant.
He was a smart child and understood that ‘little bastard’ must be so kind of a bad word. He was also afraid that his parents would not want him because of it.
After hearing his mother’s words, his heart cald down, his anxiety dissipated, and he beca sleepy.
Han Qiao coaxed him to sleep and placed him on the bed. After drinking a few glasses of water, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
If it wasn’t for Han Chi’s wedding today, she would have gone to Han Yuan to question her.
A married daughter was like water that had been poured out of its vase. She had no right to ddle in other people’s business.
“Madam,” Shulan called out.
“I’m fine.” Han Qiao took a deep breath.
She had wanted to take a nap, but she couldn’t fall asleep now.
“I regret inviting them to the wedding.”
Han Qiao gritted her teeth, “If I knew this would happen, I would rather be slandered than invite them back.”
While they were improving, Han Yuan and Father Han were constantly degrading.
For the sake of money and Han Xiang, they lost their rationality and humanity.
She could even say such harsh words to a child. Did He Cheng provoke her? Did he eat her food and drink her water?
The more Han Qiao thought about it, the angrier she got.
She decided to talk to her three brothers about this.
Han Dalang, Han Erlang, and Han Ming were still lanting the grandeur of the wedding banquet when Han Qiao ca to them.
“Third Sister!”
“I’m here to tell you not to just focus on making money,” Han Qiao lightly replied in lieu of greeting, “You should also take care of your parents.”
“Sotis, trouble cos from the mouth. If you don’t care about them, 1 won’t care if they bring trouble to your family.”

The three brothers were stunned.
“I ca to look for you because I hope that when you go back, you can tell your parents not to co to my house and tell them not to care about whether Ah-Chi and He Cheng are my biological children or not.”
“Don’t think that I’ll ever use silver to help Han Xiang, and don’t even think that I’ll use silver to support her sons.”
“I have money but I would rather give it to a beggar on the street than to her.”
The three brothers didn’t understand why Han Qiao was so angry.
“All-Qiao…” Han Dalang called out softly.
Han Qiao took a deep breath.
“You won’t understand the anger in my heart. Father and Mother were so clear about what was right and what was wrong in the past. At least among the villagers, they were considered reasonable people. When did they beco like this?”
“In order to make feel like I should end my life, they feign illness when 1 leave Puyi County. Many girls lost their parents after getting married, and I am just one of them.”
“Dacheng and the others are obedient, sensible, and hardworking children. 1 thought that since Mother and Father gave birth to and raised , I should return the favor once I’m rich. But it’s up to how much and what thods 1 use to help them. And them reaching into my pocket to take whatever they want is just not right.”
“They are eating my family’s food and scolding the children 1 raised. So what if He Cheng is not my biological son? 1 raised him from the mont he didn’t know how to walk to the point where he could run and jump on his own. He calls Mother every ti he speaks, and his eyes are filled with admiration and respect for and Heng Yi. How much poison does Mother have in her heart to call that loveable son of mine a little bastard?”
The three Han brothers finally understood.
It was their mother who called Han Qiao’s son nas.
“All-Qiao…”
“Big Brother, I’ve done everything I can. I won’t give you anything more. You’ve been out for quite so ti. After you’ve eaten your new daughter-in-law’s tea tomorrow, take your parents back so that your wife won’t worry. I won’t help the children of the Han family anymore. They’ll have to rely on themselves in the future.”
“They all have parents. It’s not my turn to be responsible for them.”
The three Han brothers were anxious.
They could earn money now, but how could that money be enough to raise their children?
Studying, practicing martial arts, clothing, food, accommodation, which one of them did not require money?
When they saw Han Dacheng and the others, they realized that there were differences between people, and there were differences in children.
The children had only been with Han Qiao for a few months, but they had changed drastically.
“All-Qiao…”
“Don’t bla for being cruel. I’ve already done enough for my family. I think I’ve repaid them enough.” Han Qiao said as she slowly stood up.
“Human hearts are made of flesh. If you treat well, I will treat you well.”
“When Mother called He Cheng that insulting na, I was furious and very disappointed. When did she beco so an and vicious?”
“Perhaps, her anness and viciousness are purely aid at .” Han Qiao said as she walked away.
The three brothers were speechless for a long ti in that room.
They had long had enough of their parents always asking them for silver.
One or two taels each ti, two or three tis a month. How much did they earn in a month? The family had a rough estimate of how much money they earned. If the money did not match up, they would quarrel at ho.
It had only been a few months, and they were all ntally and physically exhausted.
He also understood why Han Qiao wanted to get rid of Han Xiang without hesitation.
Han Xiang was a bottomless pit that couldn’t even be filled.
Han Ming felt this anger deeply.
His parents once said that since he didn’t have a son, it was better to raise the two boys well so that they could take care of him in his old age.
However, when his wife, Madam Mu, heard of this, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She had started to take dicine again these days.
It was not easy for her to get her life back on track, but now she reverted to the past and only wanted to have a son.
Han Qiao once said that if the charcoal fire did not fall on her feet, she would never know if it hurt.
Only when the blisters were ford did she realize that it would hurt even if it wasn’t poked.
Han Qiao held back her anger and returned to the main courtyard. Heng Yi had just co back to change out of his sweaty clothes. Seeing the frustration on her face, he quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Han Qiao stomped her feet fiercely and said angrily, “My mother is too much. She called Cheng’er a little bastard. She’s a an and vicious woman!”
“I’ve raised him for more than two years, but I can’t bear to tell him off so harshly.”
Han Qiao loved the children very much.
Not to ntion the few who called her mother, she even had a soft spot for Zeng Qin’er, Zeng Bao’er, Wenyan, and the children she bought.
The more Han Qiao thought about it, the angrier she got.
She took a deep breath, “I really… Why did I invite them here? I’m just asking for trouble..”
