1395: I Also Need Respect!

I Also Need Respect!

Actually, Han Jing was reluctant to do such a thing too. There was seldom good food in the house. Most of the good food ended up in Han Chuanzong's tummy. Her little niece and even her elder brother and sister-in-law worked hard all day but seldom got to eat anything nutritious.1

But there was no choice. With her parents like that, her family was doomed unless she found a way to correct them.

Even her elder brother and her sister-in-law would suffer.

Han Jing immediately grabbed the other roast duck as well. "If you dare to criticize me again, I'll throw away this one too!"

"No…" Han Chuanzong screamed. "Give me the roast duck. I want meat, I want meat…"

"Mother, don't scold her anymore. Make her give me the roast duck. Give it to me…"

Han Chuanzong screamed and shouted at his mother. There was only one duck left, and Father and Mother Han did not dare to shout anymore.

"You bitch, hurry up and give the roast duck to your younger brother."

Han Jing said, "You have to promise not to talk nonsense in front of my boyfriend tomorrow. Then I'll give it to you."

"Yes, yes, yes. We won't say anything. We won't say anything, all right? Quick, hand it over."

Han Jing could not really throw away the food. Her family was so large. They needed to eat.

But she knew what her parents were like. They might have promised now, but who knew how they would behave tomorrow?

No matter what, she could not go indulge them any longer.

This meal was like a battle.

Han Chuanzong was very possessive about his food, but Han Jing did not spoil him. She ate some and placed many pieces in her elder brother and sister-in-law's bowls. Then there was Han Yu. Han Jing kept giving her roast duck.

No matter how much Han Chuanzong screamed and fussed, she refused to give in to him. When he fussed too much, she threatened to throw the food away so no one would get any of it.

The next morning, at the time they had agreed on, Han Jing went to the village entrance to wait for Li Qinglang.

Yesterday, they agreed on a place. Li Qinglang could find the village, but he was not familiar with the paths within the village and had never been to the Han house.

Han Jing waited at the village entrance for a while before Li Qinglang arrived. He stopped the car for Han Jing to get in and give him directions.

But Han Jing hesitated. After she got into the car, she did not immediately ask him to drive on.

"Wait!"

Li Qinglang paused. "What's the matter?"

Han Jing said, "Later… my parents might say some really nasty things. You… I hope you won't mind…"

Li Qinglang raised his brows. The girl had been completely frank when she first told him about her family situation. Why was she embarrassed now?

"You were very frank previously. What's the matter now? Have your parents changed their minds?"

Han Jing flushed and lowered her head. "I… I also need some respect."

Li Qinglang: "…"

He looked at the little face that had always seemed so icy in the past. Now it was much more animated.

Li Qinglang laughed. "Don't worry. Don't think so highly of me. In the past, my family were scholars. I think you understand what my childhood was like in that era. My life was very hard when I was living in the north. I met all kinds of people on a daily basis. People like your parents are very common in villages.

"Things will be much better when our generation becomes parents because the number of educated people will grow.

"Don't worry. Since I agreed to help you, I will certainly help you. Perhaps I can not only help you solve the problem of getting married. If your family needs anything else, you can let me know."

As a student in Beijing University, this girl was definitely much sharper than average. She bore the hopes of all her older brothers and sisters and shouldered the heavy burden of her family.
