Han Xuehan, who was packing her bags, turned teary-eyed when she heard the words of her father. She was really foolish; why did she suffer for so many years and never call her father? Thinking about it, it was all her mother’s fault. She was the one who brainwashed her into thinking that she shouldn’t cause trouble for her father. Only now did she realise that her father cared about her much more than her mother.

As for her mother, Han Xuehan frowned hard. She never thought that her mother would be this heartless. To think that the woman would actually abandon her. She was her daughter!

However, some things were not easy to solve. Han Xuehan sucked in a breath and then exhaled heavily. Whatever, she would deal with one thing at a time. She picked up the two bags that she had packed and then came out of the small room.

When she stepped out of the room, she saw the two families standing in a stalemate. Old Madam Qiao did not believe that the Han family would really take Han Xuehan away with them. As for Han Yichen, he was filled with an inexplicable rage that couldn’t be calmed down even if he tried to calm it down. Han Ruochen was the same; she looked at the Qiao family as if she were looking at her enemy.

Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, everyone turned to look at Han Xuehan. When Old Madam Qiao saw that Han Xuehan had really packed her bags, she was so angry that she almost fainted. This woman, she was really out for her blood, wasn’t she? She actually packed her bags!

"Xuehan, you–" Old Madam Qiao began, but before she could scold Han Xuehan, Han Ruochen beat her to it. She looked at the two bags that Han Xuehan had and asked in a loud voice, "Sister, where are the rest of your bags? What about the clothes you received in your dowry, as well as the clothes that I sent you every now and then? There should be more than two bags. Tell me where they are; I will help you carry them."

Old Madam Qiao, who wanted to scold Han Xuehan, swallowed all of her words when she heard her questions. Those clothes? She had long given them to her daughter! She turned to look at Han Xuehan and glared at her. She hoped that the woman would keep her mouth shut and not say anything in front of Han Ruochen and Han Yichen. What’s more, the entire village was listening; if they found out that she had stretched her hands to her daughter-in-law’s dowry, then there was a good chance that she would be drowned in the spit of the villagers.

After all, no matter what, no one was allowed to touch the dowry of their daughter-in-law! And yet she had done something so damnable. There was a good chance that the people of the village would never show her son and her a good face.

Maybe they would even avoid their family.

Han Xuehan, of course, noticed the glare of her mother-in-law. If it were in the past, she would have folded under the pressure. But with her father and sister standing next to her, how could she bow her head? If she lied to save the Qiao family, then she was not worthy of her family’s protection. She inhaled a sharp breath and then replied truthfully, "They were taken away by my sister-in-law. And not only my clothes, but even my entire dowry was also taken away by my mother-in-law and given to my sister-in-law, including the five hundred yuan that my father gave to me."

As soon as Han Xuehan finished speaking, Han Ruochen frowned and rushed inside the small house; it was just as Han Xuehan said. From the fine oak bed to the dressing table, including the thermos, quilt, blankets, and many other things, were missing. There was only a thin, old blanket with patches on it sitting on top of the bed. Seeing this, Han Ruochen’s eyes turned red with anger, and she roared, "WHAT THE HELL!?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Old Madam Qiao jumped in fright. She was angry and helpless. She turned to look at Han Xuehan, wondering what the woman was even trying to do. Clearly, they were from the same family, so why was Han Xuehan so ruthless toward them? Was she worth the sincerity that her son had shown to her all these years?

Even when she could not give birth to a child, her son never looked down on her. How dare this woman cause such trouble for their family?

However, she could not scold Han Xuehan, nor could she beat her like she used to in the past; she could only stand in one spot and shiver in anger.

"Where is the dowry?" Han Ruochen questioned as soon as she ran out of the small room that was so tiny that it should have been deemed uninhabitable for even a dog, much less her sister. "My dad gave so much dowry to my sister. From bed to dressing table. Thermos and whatnot. Where is everything?"

Old Madam Qiao parted her lips, but she could not say anything. What was she supposed to say? It was not as if she could miraculously make those things appear out of thin air, could she? She stammered but could not say anything. Seeing her pale complexion, what else was there for Han Ruochen not to understand?? She turned to look at her father and said to him, "Dad, we should call the police."

"Po–police? What for?" Old Madam Qiao jumped in the air before Han Yichen could say anything. "Why are you calling the police?"

She just took a few things from her daughter-in-law and sent them to her daughter. What was the need to call the police over such a small matter?

Han Ruochen sneered when she heard the old woman’s shameless words. She really did not know when to stop, did she? Since she dared to jump out, this woman could not blame her.
