Meng Yunhan’s face flushed red. She parted her lips, wanting to complain, but before she could even bring herself to say something, she was scolded by her mother-in-law.

"Do you think we all were hit on our heads and lost our memories? Meng Yunhan, we still remember how you spent my eldest son’s savings on your maternal family. No matter how foolish my granddaughter might be, she will never do something as foolish as dumping ten thousand yuan on an incapable man!" Old Madam Han was still burning with rage when she thought about how Meng Yunhan had handed the savings to her cousin, who did not even know how to do business.

He only knew how to talk big, and yet this woman was fooled by him. Now their savings were gone, and that man did not even make a name for himself. Forget about making a name; he did not even earn enough to repay the loan that their family had given him.

"Mom! He is not an incapable man!" Yun Xinye was her darling; how could he be a useless man? Meng Yunhan couldn’t hear anyone calling her beloved an incapable man. Just the thought alone was enough to make her heart burn with anger.

However, what she forgot was that if Yun Xinye was her beloved man, then Han Yichen was Old Madam Han’s beloved son. How could she not feel sorry for him? This woman caused her son to work twice as hard. These days, Han Yichen did not even dare to waste a single penny on himself. Her son, who was her pride, now walked with his back slightly bent because he was not getting enough rest.

Thus, the second Old Madam Han heard Meng Yunhan defend the man who wasted ten thousand yuan, her anger reached the top of the roof. She looked around the living room and, upon finding the broom that she was looking for, she hurriedly picked it up and started hitting Meng Yunhan. "He is not an incapable man? Then what is he? he took ten thousand yuan from our family and could not even make a splash! If I had given this much money to a beggar, at least he would know how to be grateful. What about your cousin? He hides behind you and asks for this and that."

"In my eyes, he is no better than a gigolo. Always relying on a woman. If he is not an incapable man, then go and ask him to return my son’s savings. If he returns every penny, then I will personally go with you and apologise to the man."

Meng Yunhan’s eyes were burning with tears of humiliation. But it was not because she was hit, but because Yun Xinye was humiliated. She was really angry. How could this old hag call her beloved a gigolo? Just wait. Sooner or later, Brother Yun was going to turn the tide around, and then she would escape this hellhole. Did they think that she was dying to stay here?

Han Ruochen noticed the hatred in the eyes of her mother and sneered; sure enough, a leopard could never change its spots. Look at this; her mother was still holding onto the hope that Yun Xinye would be able to turn things around. As if!

She ignored the chaos in the living room and took her younger brother to her room.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Meng Yunhan noticed Han Ruochen walking away, and her heart was filled with even more anger. This wretched girl. She saw her getting beaten, but she did not even think of helping her. She should have really thrown this girl in the water vat when she was born.

Han Ruochen could feel a fierce gaze aimed at her back, but she did not turn back.

She knew that it was her mother who was glaring at her.

Old Madam Han also knew that Han Ruochen had left the room, but she did not think that there was anything wrong with what Han Ruochen did. After all, she was from the younger generation; she could neither speak up for her mother nor could she stop her. So it was better for her to leave.

Old Madam Han chased after Meng Yunhan for a good half an hour. Only when she felt satisfied did she sit down and look at Meng Yunhan, who was lying on the floor as if she had been bullied to death. Seeing this, Old Madam Han could not help but sneer. Truthfully speaking, she did not hit the woman too hard and had controlled her strength. After all, she did not want Meng Yunhan to show off her injuries the next day and spread the word that she was an evil mother-in-law.

"Get up. Don’t play dead with me, I know you are not hurt at all," sneered Old Madam Han when she saw that Meng Yunhan was not willing to get up from the ground.

Meng Yunhan stiffened. She actually wanted to play dead, but she knew that she could not hide anything from her sly mother-in-law. She slowly pushed herself off the ground and knelt in front of her mother-in-law. Though her heart was filled with resentment, she did not dare to show it on her face. She could only look at the floor, hiding the glint in her eyes.

"You blame me?"

"No... No..." Meng Yunhan did not dare to say that she blamed her mother-in-law. She was afraid of getting beaten again.

Old Madam Han scoffed. "There is no need to lie. I know that you are angry, but there is no point in losing your temper with me. You blame me, but who am I supposed to blame? Because of you, my precious son is forced to work twice as hard. Meng Yunhan, I am tired of telling you to settle down and live a peaceful life with my son. Since you won’t listen to my words, then I am going to teach you a lesson the hard way."
