Han Jing nodded. “He’s much richer than the Wangs. Also, he’s young and very handsome!”
Han Jing thought of Li Qinglang’s face. He really was exceptionally good-looking.
The Li family had been a scholarly family but later ran into trouble, and the family fortunes declined.
In ancient times, noble families carefully chose the women who married into their families. Good genes were passed down through the generations, and most of their children were good-looking.
Father and Mother Han were shocked when they heard that!
“When you say he’s richer than the Wangs, just how rich is he? Does his family own many villas? Does his family rent out many houses?”
Currently, that was the greatest kind of wealth that Father and Mother Han had heard of.
“Oh, and does his family own a bicycle?”
Han Jing said, “Yes, he has his own house, and it’s in the city center too. His family is very rich. I’ve already said that his older sister and brother-in-law are very capable, especially his brother-in-law’s family. They’re very prominent. He has always worked for his brother-in-law and is much richer than you can imagine.”
Father and Mother Han were delighted. “Then… if you marry him, ask him to give us another villa. We’ll stay in one and rent the other one out.”
Han Jing: “…”
Her parents acted as if they were selling their daughter. Although she was utterly disappointed, she had become used to it after so many years. She had no expectations of her parents.
Otherwise, she would not have asked Li Qinglang for help so calmly.
“They’re a noble family. If you keep asking them for things, you might not be able to get them, and he will look down on you.”
The two of them were bewildered!
“What? He’s not giving us anything? Why not? We worked so hard to raise our daughter, and she’s a university student too. Why should you marry him for nothing?”
“My older brothers and sisters raised me. You did not contribute a single cent towards my university education. You only gave birth to me, and that was only because you thought I was a boy.”
“You…”
Mother Han was enraged. She raised her hand to strike her. “Brat, what are you saying? How dare you be so unfilial? Let me tell you, I gave birth to you, so you will always be the Han family’s daughter. You have to obey us.”
Han Jing laughed coldly. “I remember you always saying to Sister-in-law that a married daughter is like water that is thrown out of the house. Why is it that when it comes to me, I am forever the Han family’s daughter?”
“You…” Father and Mother Han did not know what to say. Although they did not know how to rebut her, it did not mean that they had admitted defeat. They both moved to beat their daughter.
Han Jing hastily dodged. At that moment, her older brother, Han Shu came back. When he saw that they were fighting, he said in shock, “What are you doing? Why are you beating Jing Jing for nothing?”
Father Han said angrily, “Can’t I beat her? This girl found a boyfriend, and now she looks down on the Wang family. She says her boyfriend’s family is much richer than the Wangs! But when we told her to get us an extra villa, she said it can’t be done. This kind of girl should be beaten.”
Han Shu said angrily, “Villa, villa, besides the villa, do you think of anything else? Jing Jing has a boyfriend. Did you ask what her boyfriend does? Is your villa all that you think about?”
Han Shu knew his parents only too well. They were terribly difficult to deal with.
His wife, Wang Xiaoqin, who had just come back from the fields with him shrank into a corner and did not dare to speak.
Han Shu looked at his wife and sighed. “Go and cook. Bring Yu’er with you.”
Han Yu was their daughter, their only daughter. She was 12 years old now and very small and thin. Her clothes were very tattered, but fortunately, they were fairly clean.
