"Han Ruochen! Stop confusing right from wrong," Brother Wang was not happy. He wanted to find out what kind of treasure Han Ruochen had found, but he had no intention of irking the other fishermen on the docks. After all, he still needed to rely on them for his daily wages. Women like Han Ruochen were ruthless. Look at this—he only said a few words, and this woman replied to him with countless barbed words.

"What do you mean?" Han Ruochen asked innocently. "Did I say anything wrong? If the others are willing to tell the truth about their fishing spots, then I will disclose mine as well." She then turned to look at the rest of the fishermen and smiled at them sweetly, "How about it? We are from the same village. Aren’t you willing to tell your fishing spots? If you are, then I promise that I will disclose mine as well."

The men at the docks looked at one another, but they did not speak. Seeing this, Han Ruochen sneered. She turned to look at Tong Zhaodi and urged her to follow her out of the boat, ignoring the men surrounding them. Did they think they could make her talk just by surrounding her? She was not that easy to deal with!

When Brother Wang saw her walk away, he was so angry that he could not help but slap the man on the head next to him. "You bastard! Why did you not support me just now?" If only one of the men had spoken up, he could have pushed Han Ruochen into a corner, but these idiots. They stayed quiet like they had been fed some kind of poison for muteness.

The man, who was hit, rubbed the back of his head and said aggrievedly, "But Brother Wang, you heard her. That woman wanted us to disclose our fishing spots. How could we do that? That is our lifeblood!"

"Whats the matter? Couldn’t you have lied to her? You could have just told her some random spots! Was she going to check them up right away?" Brother Wang was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the man on the back. These idiots, they really knew how to make him worry.

Only after he finished speaking did the rest of the men snap out of their daze. Thats right, if only they had told a fake spot to Han Ruochen, then they could have found her real fishing spot. It wasn’t like she was going to hide it from them? These men were used to seeing Han Ruochen acting like a docile little lamb in front of her mother. She was naive and easy to fool. If they had used their brain a little, then they could have found out the truth.

Seeing the looks on the faces of the men, Brother Wang sneered. He scoffed and called them idiots inwardly before turning to look at Han Ruochen, who was walking away. He was unwilling to let her go so easily, after all, this woman had become more and more arrogant these past few days. Since that was the case, he was going to deal with her properly.

Soon, rumours started to spread all over the village that Han Ruochen, the daughter of Han Yichen, had found some big treasure at sea, and these rumours soon reached Meng Yunhan, who rushed back home. Upon seeing Han Ruochen sitting on the couch and feeding Han Beijiang, she felt so angry that her ears started to buzz. These past few days, she had been living a life worse than death, and this girl! She had no consideration for her mother at all. What was the point of her raising this wretched girl?

Furious, she marched toward Han Ruochen and slapped the spoon out of her hand. "You damned girl, do you even consider me as your mother?"

Han Ruochen closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She had to repeatedly tell herself that the woman in front of her was her mother, and she could not raise her hand at her. Only after repeatedly calming herself down, she was able to restrain herself.

"Don’t be scared." After calming herself, the first thing she did was to soothe Han Beijiang. Only after making sure that Han Beijiang was alright, did she turn to look at her mother and question, "What did I do wrong, Mother?"

She looked at her mother without looking away, causing Meng Yunhan to look away. She did not know where to begin. When she came back home, she was filled with anger, thinking that she was going to deal with Han Ruochen. But upon hearing her question, she could not bring herself to say anything. What was she supposed to say?

No matter how much she wanted to blame Han Ruochen, she could not admit that the woman did something wrong.

"What do you mean by what you have done wrong?" Meng Yunhan did not wish to admit that she was losing her temper for no reason. She raised her hand and pointed at Han Ruochen before saying, "Spill it out, what did you do? What kind of treasure have you found in the sea? Where is the money? Hand it over. Can’t you even see that your parents are suffering? How selfish you are to not even care about the worries of your parents?"

Han Ruochen found it laughable. In her past life, her father worked so hard that his back could not help but turn crooked. However, her mother never cared about him. If anything, she even started to curse him for being useless. Now that Meng Yunhan had to work alongside her father, she was suddenly able to see the hard work that her father was putting in these days.

"Mom, why are you telling me these things? If you have something to say, then you should find your maternal cousin. If you are troubled, then it is due to him and not me. Why are you losing your temper at me?"
