Reborn In The 90's: Saving My Siblings With A Fishing System

"It seems like Ziyan really worked hard," Han Ruochen said with a smirk on her face. "It’s a good thing too; our family is running out of money like sand escaping from hands. With Ziyan handing her pay to the household funds, things would become easier."

As soon as she finished speaking, the smug smiles on Han Ziyan and Meng Yunhan’s faces disappeared. One wanted to show off and continue living her lavish life, while the other wanted to use Han Ziyan’s salary to appease her precious lover. But with Han Ruochen making such a remark, they could no longer stay happy.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by putting my salary in the household funds?" Han Ziyan asked with a little stammer. She looked really troubled, as if she had never expected such a thing to happen.

When she told the entire family that she was going to work in the army, she wanted them to respect her and feel regretful. But she never thought that Han Ruochen would actually tell her that she needed to pay for the household expenses! If she started pooling her salary into the household expenses, what would be left for her? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Han Ruochen gave a superior sort of chuckle at the blank look on the face of Han Ziyan. She said to her, "Ziyan, what is up with that attitude? When I was working in the school, you said it yourself. As a filial daughter, I should hand my money to the family to reduce the burden on my father’s shoulders. I did it for more than three years; of course, you have to do it too."

Han Ruochen knew that there was something fishy about Han Ziyan’s job, but she did not mention it in front of Meng Yunhan and Han Yichen.

If she raised the topic, her mother would certainly assume that she had intentionally targeted Han Ziyan and was trying to make something out of nothing, as she was upset and jealous of Han Ziyan. As she had no evidence, her father would also feel disappointed in her.

This type of tricky and thankless matter, Han Ruochen had no intention of getting involved in. She would never try to do something so fruitless in this life. Anyway, Han Ziyan was not smart. If not for the Han siblings being a bunch of soft persimmons who were too easy to bully, no one would have been able to kill them like idiots. It wasn’t that Han Ziyan was exceptionally smart; it was they who were too foolish.

Han Ruochen sighed and then got up from the dining table. She didn’t want to eat while watching Han Ziyan’s smug look. She brought the bowls and dishes for her and Han Beijiang to the second floor while leaving just enough for Han Yichen to eat. As for the mother and daughter, she did not care.

It had been like this for a long time, and Meng Yunhan was also used to it, but when she went to the kitchen and saw that there was really nothing for her, she felt as if her heart was about to burst with anger and sadness. She worked all day long and only returned home now, so what if she said a few words to her daughter? Was it worth treating her mother like this?

Han Ruochen did not care what was going on in her mother’s mind. She calmly finished her meal and decided to take a rest. She needed to wake up early for the next tide. However, when morning came, and Han Ruochen went to the shore while holding the traps and nets, she suddenly ran into a handicapped person.

"Hey, are you the Han family’s Xiao Ruochen? The one who saved me yesterday?" the person in front of her asked in an impatient tone.

"Xiao Ruochen?" Hearing the nickname, Han Ruochen was a bit shocked. She looked at the man in front of her, who did not look that much older than her.

"That’s right, you are younger than me by a few years, so naturally I will call you Xiao Ruochen." Zhai Heng’s right hand was in a cast. He had the expression of not having the slightest care in the world. He said in a flippant tone, "Not bad looking. I have to say that I thought that my brother was right; you are quite good-looking. It was not a loss that I came to look for you."

When Han Ruochen heard his casual tone, she felt slightly annoyed.

When she looked at Zhai Heng, the man was looking around uneasily and did not look her straight in the eye. His ears had also turned red. Han Ruochen finally understood that this young man was not used to talking with women and was talking nonsense with his eyes open. She rolled her eyes and then said to him, "If you are really grateful to me, then you could have simply told me thank you; that would have been more than enough."

"You think I am talking nonsense?" Zhai Heng simply stared at her. He was genuinely commending her for her good looks, and the woman was saying that he should have simply thanked her, and that should have been enough?

In the past, many of the ladies yearned for his praise, and he could not even glance at them, not even once. Today, his praise had been shunned as if it did not even matter.

"Yes, what are you saying?" Han Ruochen nodded without giving him any face. "Now is the time for people like us to earn money, and you are making me late. I don’t care what you want to do with your life, but I was not like you, born in a good family. I need to work hard for everything that I need, so please do not waste my time."

Based on what she learnt from her past life, Han Ruochen did not want to get involved with a person like Zhai Heng.

In her past life, she was only close to one man, and that was Yang Jianming. Yet when Han Ziyan found out about Yang Jianming, she started to cause trouble. In her eyes, as long as Han Ruochen had something, it was better than anything she could have. Thus, she started to get close to Yang Jianming and stole him from Han Ruochen.

Currently, Han Ruochen was no longer tangled with Yang Jianming, but if Han Ziyan found out about Zhai Heng, she would certainly cause trouble.
