1387: He Will Stand Up For Me

He Will Stand Up For Me

Han Shu laughed coldly. "If even you don't feel guilty as his parents, why should I feel guilty?"1

"You…"

When Han Jing saw that her older brother and parents were quarreling again, she felt very helpless. She hurriedly dragged her older brother aside.

"Elder Brother, don't get angry with them. It's useless. It's been so many years; haven't you known what they're like for a long time?

"Don't worry, I won't marry into the Wang family. Besides, my current boyfriend is very nice. He knows a little about my family situation. If someone bullies me, he will definitely stand up for me."

Han Shu paused. "Really?"

"Of course!"

Han Shu nodded. "That's good. When Wang Fengbao set his heart on you, I was really worried that he would eventually force you to marry him!"

Han Jing really respected her older brother. She could not bear for him to worry and be frightened.

"Trust me, Elder Brother. After all, I've studied for so many years. I can at least protect myself. As for Wang Fengbao, I'm mentally prepared. I won't let him have the chance to force me. I can deal with him."

Han Shu sighed. "You're a girl, and their family is so rich. How can I not worry? Considering how rich they are, you will definitely have a good life if you marry into their family. But…"

Han Shu glanced at his little sister and mumbled, "My little sister is so pretty. If she married me, I would think that she's completely wasted on me."

Han Jing's heart filled with warmth. She laughed and said, "Elder Brother, don't worry about that. My current boyfriend is really very handsome!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely. I'll go and talk to him and bring him to visit you."

Only then did Han Shu stop worrying. "That's fine. Do it as soon as possible. And you have to deal with the Wang family as soon as possible too. As long as you don't bring your boyfriend back, our parents will never give up. Bring him back so that they will drop the idea."

Han Jing nodded to show that she understood.

"Then I'll go and help sister-in-law to cook."

"Go ahead!"

Han Yu went to the kitchen and saw her little niece, Han Yu, helping her mother to tend the fire. Han Jing's heart ached when she saw the girl's skinny little frame. "Little Yu! Go and play! I'll help with tending the fire."

Han Yu did not move. She wanted to stay with her mother. She did not dare to leave.

Her grandparents were still angry!

If she went out to play now, she might be scolded.

Han Jing did not know what else to do, so she took a piece of sweets from her pocket and unwrapped it. Then she stuffed it in Han Yu's mouth. "Don't tell them. Eat it yourself!"

The sweetness spread through her mouth. Han Yu half-shut her eyes in pleasure.

"Thank you, Aunt."

In these times, people were poor, and sweets were very rare. In all her years, Han Yu had seldom eaten sweets, but Han Chuanzong often got to eat sweets.

Han Jing stroked her head. "I'll stay here today. Tonight I'll bring you out for a good meal."

Although she was still a student, she had found some work and earned some pocket money. In this era, jobs were scarce and she did not make much.

Besides her school fees, her parents took part in what was left. She had very, very little money leftover.

Her sister-in-law, Xiaoqin was embarrassed. "You have it tough too. Don't spend that kind of money."

Han Jing said, "It's all right, Sister-in-law. Yu'er is already 12 years old, but she's so thin. I have to bring her out and feed her something nutritious. She's still growing!

"It's not just Yu'er. Sister-in-law, you should also eat more."

Wang Xiaoqin immediately bowed her head and kept quiet.
