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

"What is going on here?" Some of the onlookers had no idea what was going on. They turned to look at Han Yong and Han Yichen before one of them asked in a loud voice, "Ruochen, what did you do? Why did your mother douse you in dog blood?"

The voice belonged to Widow Wang, who was clearly taking quite a pleasure in seeing Han Ruochen in such a condition. Han Ruochen sucked in a breath and did not waste her breath on Widow Wang. Who was she to lose her temper with Widow Wang when the problem lay with her mother? She was the one who gave the villagers a chance to mock her.

She swallowed the pill of humiliation that her mother had given and said in a loud yet clear voice, "It’s nothing, Aunt Wang. I caught a golden moray this morning and was lucky enough to sell it well and buy a fishing boat. But my mom insisted that it was because I had stolen Ziyan’s luck, which is why I was able to do such a feat. She wanted to take Ziyan’s luck and doused me with dog blood."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire crowd sucked in a breath. They knew that Meng Yunhan did not like this daughter of hers, but this was too much. Just because Han Ruochen was able to buy a fishing boat, Meng Yunhan was acting so ruthlessly toward Han Ruochen? Was she really her biological mother?

"Meng Yunhan, have you lost your mind!?" Old Grandma Han had arrived with her second son and daughter-in-law. When she heard that her second granddaughter was getting bullied by Meng Yunhan, she was furious, but when she heard the reason behind the bullying, she was even more furious. Her Ruochen bought a fishing boat at such a young age; it was something to be proud of, but Meng Yunhan, this silly woman, was only worried about Han Ziyan.

She rushed inside the house and slapped Meng Yunhan repeatedly. She was really enraged this time around. It was bad enough that Meng Yunhan had bullied Han Ruochen time and time again, but to think that this woman was actually going to such lengths while bullying her granddaughter. How dare she!? How dare she touch her granddaughter like this?

"You black-hearted thing! I should never have allowed you to get married to my son; I knew you were not a good thing." Old Madam Han let go of Meng Yunhan, as she knew her own limits; she did not want to kill someone and go to jail. Meng Yunhan was not worthy. She pulled away and sneered down at Meng Yunhan, who was glaring at her while holding her stinging cheeks.

Her attention then turned to Han Ziyan, who stiffened and took a step back. She looked like a pitiful little thing, but Old Madam Han was not fooled. She pointedly asked, "You think you are very lucky?" Her voice was low and dangerous as she questioned Han Ziyan. "You, who have everything all thanks to the Han family, think that she was born lucky?"

"Of course, she is quite lucky when it comes to stealing," a neighbour laughed mockingly. "Han Yichen, I have told you many times that you should be careful with this girl around. Look at this, she first stole her sister’s fiancé, and now she even humiliated your biological daughter. On your Han family turf, she is acting like she is the one who has the reins. You’d better control this mother and daughter pair, or else they will ruin you and your children."

Han Ruochen pursed her lips. She knew that the neighbour was only joking, but the truth was that she had no idea how correct she was. Because her father did not take the reins of Meng Yunhan and Han Ziyan in time, the two of them grew more and more troublesome. They spent her father’s money like they were throwing water out of the house; it made the situation even more troublesome, given that her father was already struggling after the swine flu broke out.

Pigs died, people were wary of eating pork and the income plummeted to great degrees and yet Han Ziyan and her mother did not stop with their expenses.

Even if her father worked hard, he could never fill the hole.

Han Ziyan was even more ridiculous. She lived a good life with the Yang family, but because she had this twisted mindset that the Han family ’owed’ her, she would come to ask for money from time to time whenever she wanted to splurge. Thus, her father’s back was soon bent due to the burdens.

Meng Yunhan was also ashamed. She had always presented herself as a pious mother who took care of her family; now all her good deeds were out in the open. Now no one would say that she was a good mother. The more she thought about how her good reputation had been ruined, the more she wanted to cry. But she couldn’t do anything. What was more, they couldn’t even get what they wanted from this ordeal! She thought she could take on Han Yichen’s scoldings as long as Han Ziyan received her luck back, but now she did not think it was going to happen!

"She is right," said Old Madam Han as she looked at the woman who had curled herself in a ball of dirt. "You can no longer act like you used to in the past, Yichen. Look at this; this woman has created such a mess because of the current attitude you have. She dared to call an old witch in the house and even butchered a dog! Han Yichen, I am telling you, either you divorce her or get her to straighten up her act. If this goes on, she will ruin all of my grandchildren!"

Old Grandma Han wished she could divorce this woman on account of her son at that moment.
