Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 34 Collect some interest first (2)

Han Youwei seized the opportunity and said, "Ms. Huang, since you and my father are tired of each other, why don't you announce your divorce in the newspaper?"

Han Hui also wanted Huang Shufen to divorce and sever ties with Han Yongjing, but she knew Huang Shufen was an old-fashioned woman, so she didn't mention it.

Huang Shufen's answer surprised Han Hui again: "Divorce is fine, but when she left, she took six small yellow croakers and a hundred silver dollars from me. She must return the money to me, and she must also buy us a house so we can have a place to live."

She couldn't go back home. She didn't know when she'd find her son, and renting wasn't a long-term solution. Although her daughter and she still had some money, they weren't sure if they could find work. It was safest for Han Yongjing to buy a house. With a house, she'd have a place to call home.

Han Hui remained silent. According to her original memory, the treasure the Guo Party official hadn't taken was buried in a villa in the Zhang Family Gardens. So, she planned to rent a house near the gardens first, then buy a larger house once she got the treasure. Having lived in dormitories at the orphanage and university, she longed for her own room. Her brother, knowing her wish, saved up and took out a loan to buy a small two-bedroom apartment.

When Zhao Anna heard this, she started cursing: "Country bumpkin, do you know how expensive houses in the concession are now?"

Although Han Hui had her own plans, she wouldn't ruin Huang Shufen's plans: "That's your business. It's okay if you don't want to buy it. This house is spacious and has servants to serve. It's quite good."

Han Youwei saw that Zhao Anna was still about to scold her, so she stepped forward, grabbed her arm and said, "Mom, wait until Meng Xing comes back, and then we'll discuss this properly."

Since Huang Shufen and Han Hui were in Shanghai, they had to resolve this matter no matter how much they argued. They definitely couldn't live together, otherwise it would become a topic of conversation among the neighbors.

Han Hui yawned and said to Aunt Li, "Go make the bed. I need to rest."

Han Youwei nodded and said, "Aunt Li, go clean up the guest room."

"One room isn't enough."

Han Youwei's face darkened slightly. It had only been a year since she last saw Han Hui, yet she had become so difficult to deal with. "Aunt Li, clean up my youngest sister's room and let my second sister live there."

Before Han Hui went to sleep, she said to Xiao Cao, "If they bully my mother, wake me up."

On the train these past few days, others had seen her sleeping soundly, but she wasn't. In a place like a train, where everyone was mixed up, there was no way she could actually fall into a deep sleep. Now that she was relaxed, she felt exhausted.

She fell asleep as soon as she entered the room and was sound asleep when Xiaocao woke her up: "Miss, the third young master is beating the mistress."

When Han Hui went downstairs, she saw Han Mengchen punching and kicking Huang Shufen who was lying on the ground.

Han Hui rushed over, first pulled Han Mengchen off Huang Shufen, then threw him to the ground and kicked him several times.

Han Mengchen had no ability to fight back and could only endure the heart-wrenching beating. Finally, he vomited blood and fainted.

Aunt Li was so scared that she hid in the kitchen and dared not come out. This second young lady was really too cruel.

Zhao Anna went to see Han Youwei off, and when she returned, she heard her youngest son's wailing and ran back home: "You bitch, I'm going to fight you."

Out of concern for her original reputation, Han Hui did not take action against Han Yongjing, but Zhao Anna did not need to worry about this.

Zhao Anna was beaten so badly that she could only protect her face with her hands: "Help, help..."

Several neighboring families heard the cries for help and ran over. Seeing the mother and son covered in bruises, especially Han Mengxing who was vomiting blood, they all felt that Han Hui was too cruel.

The neighbor next door wanted to help Zhao Anna up, but she screamed in pain as soon as he touched her arm.

The neighbor asked, "Mrs. Han, who beat you like this? Do you want to call the police?"

Zhao Anna finally reacted and shouted, "Aunt Li, call Meng Xing and have him arrest these two bitches." Aunt Li pretended to be deaf. The Second Young Lady was so fierce, she didn't dare call now. If she got beaten, she would suffer. She was just a maid. If this family didn't work out, she could move on. It wasn't worth risking her life.

Seeing the people coming in looking at her and her daughter, Huang Shufen, in order to protect Han Hui's reputation, endured the pain and said, "I am Han Yongjing's principal wife, married into the family in a grand sedan chair. As soon as Han Mengxing saw me, he pushed me to the ground and punched and kicked me. My daughter saw this and was so angry that she beat him up. When Zhao Anna saw this, she wanted to beat my daughter and took her along with her."

The injuries on her body were not visible, but Huang Shufen's face was red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had just been beaten.

It wasn't a big deal for the legitimate daughter of the original wife to beat up her illegitimate brother, but beating up an elder was a bit too much. However, the neighbors were all shrewd people, and Han Hui looked fierce and had such high fighting skills that no one dared to criticize her. If she went crazy and beat herself up, it would be too unfair.

Han Hui said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Shufen tearfully said, "My head hurts so much, and my body hurts so much too."

"Mom, I'll take you to the hospital."

Huang Shufen grabbed Han Hui's arm and pinched her: "We only have one dollar left. This money is not enough to buy food, how can we afford to go to the hospital?"

Han Hui understood that Huang Shufen should be fine.

Han Mengchen and Zhao Anna were taken to the hospital with the help of their enthusiastic neighbors. Han Hui didn't stop them.

After going to the hospital for a check-up, Han Mengchen was found to have five broken ribs, and Zhao Anna had fractures in her left hand and left leg.

Huang Shufen was panicking, afraid of retaliation, and wanted to take Han Hui away from here: "Xiaoman, let's leave Shanghai and go anywhere."

Han Hui held her down and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Mom. They won't dare call the police to arrest me."

Huang Shufen felt that she was too optimistic. Mainly because she didn't expect Han Mengchen to beat her as soon as he got home, and then her daughter lost control.

"just in case……"

Han Hui said calmly, "There's no such thing as a sure thing, unless they're not afraid of death. Mom, please believe me."

Huang Shufen was silent for a long time. "Xiaoman, your brother is now unknown whether he is alive or dead. You are all I have left. If anything happens to you, I will die."

Han Hui patted her back gently and comforted her, "I know, I will be fine."

An hour later, Han Mengxing came with two policemen in uniform. They wanted to take Han Hui away on the charge of intentional injury.

Han Hui was not afraid. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Han Mengxing: "I'm going to the police station, and the content on this will appear in the newspaper. Then everyone in Shanghai will see it."

The older of the two policemen was very perceptive and, seeing the situation, he pulled the younger policeman outside.

This paper stated that Han Yongjing, in order to marry the daughter of a prostitute, first angered his own parents to death, and then allowed his concubine to murder his first wife and daughter. If this were published in the newspaper, Han Yongjing and Zhao Anna would be discredited.

After tearing the paper into pieces, Han Mengxing said, "Do you think I'm scared just by holding a piece of torn paper like this?"

Han Hui smiled and said, "Of course you're not afraid. But if the legitimate wife's daughter injured the concubine and her illegitimate brother, she'll only be sentenced to a few months as long as someone is there to bail her out. When I get out, I'll kill you one by one."

Though she smiled, her eyes were as fierce as a beast's. Han Mengxing had been a police officer for almost a year, but now he felt a chill down his spine. He was certain his sister had definitely killed someone.
