"Nonsense! What do you mean by ’outsider’? " Village Head Qiao felt his head buzzing when he heard the nonsensical words of Old Madam Qiao. It was one thing that she thought of Han Xuehan as an outsider in her heart; why would she say her thoughts out loud? Was she trying to make trouble for him?

Sure enough, as soon as Han Yichen heard her words, his chest puffed out, and he sneered, "Good. Very good! My daughter has been married to this village for more than three years. Even though her household registration has been moved, you still call her an outsider. You are really good, Old Madam Qiao. Why did you not think of her as an outsider when you were snatching her dowry? If my daughter is an outsider, how dare you touch her dowry!? I am going to sue you!"

Han Yichen was truly angry. It was one thing that this family had bullied his daughter, but even after sucking her blood and eating away her flesh, they still treated her as an outsider. This was something that he could never accept.

Old Madam Qiao jumped in the air when she heard Han Yichen’s roar. She wanted to say something, but even after moving her lips for a long time, she could not bring herself to say anything.

"Mister Han, please calm down." Village Head Qiao scolded Old Madam Qiao for being stupid in his heart and turned to look at Han Yichen. He lowered his head and spoke in a flattering voice, "I know that you are upset, but don’t waste your time quarrelling with a woman like her. Please calm down and think of a solution before making a move."

Village Head Qiao was really worried that the Han family would call the police, so he rushed to settle the matter down. At the same time, he cursed the Qiao family. They were really short-sighted.

However, when he saw that Han Yichen was not calming down, he turned to look at Han Ruochen. With a flattering smile on his lips, he said to her, "Miss Han, please talk to your father. Calling the police will only escalate the matter, and there will be no result. This matter is, after all, not serious, and they might only be locked up for six or seven months."

Of course, this was something that Han Ruochen knew, and she was not convinced of. Why would she let these two sly bastards escape with such a light sentence? She curled her lips and admitted in a low voice, "Alright, we also don’t want to make things difficult for your village. But make sure the compensation is collected within three months. If not, then you cannot blame us." Anyway, in three months, she would make sure that Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Tingyan would pay for the sins that they had committed in their past life.

So it did not matter whether they would be able to collect the one thousand yuan or not. She would make them suffer tenfold!

Han Ruochen’s eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, but she did not waste her time with her sister’s in-laws. Instead, she took one of the bags that her sister was holding and took her hand before leading her out of hell. Han Yichen had no idea why Han Ruochen was not filing a complaint. But he knew that his daughter must have a plan.

So, he simply snorted and asked the village head to get him an IOU.

Once Old Madam Qiao pressed her fingerprint on the paper after much fuss, he took the IOU with him and left the Qiao house. He had no intention of staying in this rotten place anymore.

Old Madam Qiao watched Han Xuehan leave and couldn’t swallow her breath. How could this woman be allowed to leave just like that? Did she think that their family was some kind of hotel where she could stay and leave as she wanted? She rushed after Han Xuehan and shouted after her, "You little hussy, if you have the guts, don’t you dare return to my Qiao House ever again. Do you think my son is an unwanted good? Many women will be rushing to marry her after you."

"Shut up! Do you think you have not embarrassed our village enough already?" Village Head Qiao shouted angrily.

"What? What did I say wrong?" Old Madam Qiao did not think that she was in the wrong. Instead, it was Han Xuehan, who was causing trouble for no reason. So what if there was another woman brought to their house? And about the dowry. So what if she gave it to her daughter-in-law? Once she had received the dowry and it had entered her house, it belonged to her, and she could do whatever she wanted with it. Why did it become a crime in the eyes of others?

She was truly upset! And she was upset because her daughter-in-law actually rebelled against her.

"Enough! I don’t want to say anything more. Make sure to prepare three hundred yuan; I will come to collect them in three days." Village Head Qiao did not want to waste any more time with Old Madam Qiao either. He simply snorted and went back to his home. It was a good thing that he did not have to worry about the police coming to their village, or else who knows what might have happened.

When Old Madam Qiao saw that the village head was determined to help the little hoof, she was so angry that she wanted to scratch someone to death. What was the meaning of this? The two of them were from the same family, and yet, instead of helping her, that old man was helping someone else? And an outsider at that?

"Mad! He has gone mad!" Old Madam Qiao could not help but scold. They were clearly from the same clan, so why was the man not supporting her but was willing to stand up for someone like Han Xuehan?

"Mom, stop making a fuss."
