CHAPTER 879: CHAPTER 344: SCREW YOUR TRAGIC BEAUTY (PART 14)

Village Chief Han and his wife were both excited and happy to see their daughter returned after being lost.

Village Chief Han’s wife held Ms. Hetian’s hand, continuously expressing her gratitude.

Ms. Hetian waved her hand, with generosity and ease, "We’re all fellow villagers, and to be precise, I should even call you cousin."

Old Lady Han was a girl from Hanjiaping, and considering her, Village Chief Han indeed had a distant familial connection with Ms. Hetian.

"Alright then, I’ll take the liberty and call you cousin too!"

Seeing Ms. Hetian’s gracefulness, Village Chief Han felt quite appreciative.

During the day, Village Chief Han had heard about the grievances of the Tian Family.

Village Chief Han was from Hanjiaping, and by instinct, he had to stand by the Han family members.

Even though he knew Old Lady Han was fierce, shrewd, and exploitative towards her daughter.

But, she carried the Han surname, and as long as she hadn’t done anything heinous or illegal, Village Chief Han couldn’t possibly support outsiders in criticizing her.

Even, when hearing someone had a dispute with Old Lady Han, he would think about helping her if possible.

This is clan duty; these are the rules passed down by Ancestors.

Therefore, Village Chief Han didn’t have much affection for the unfilial daughter Ms. Hetian, who broke ties with her own parents.

The saying goes "In the world, there are no wrong parents," even if the children are beaten to death, it’s their own problem, still implicating the parents as unkind and unjust.

However, the fact that his precious little daughter was saved by Ms. Hetian, and she even ran all the way to bring her back, made Village Chief Han completely change his view of Ms. Hetian.

Thinking of the favor, Village Chief Han pursed his lips, lowered his voice, and quietly reminded, "...a few days ago, I got news that those working on the river embankment were taken to Heyin."

Village Chief Han’s sixth son was there, and if He Erniu, who "disappeared" with Han Liulang, were still alive, he should also be in Heyin!

Village Chief Han felt, by telling Ms. Hetian about He Erniu’s whereabouts, even if it couldn’t fully offset the life-saving favor towards his daughter, it was at least a goodwill gesture.

In the future, if there’s a chance, he or his daughter will repay the favor fully!

Ms. Hetian’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, cousin, you really did us a great help, it’s simply saving our lives!"

So, the life-saving favor, let’s just cancel it out for each other.

From now on, Han Dongdong and He Xiaobao owed each other nothing!

Village Chief Han, understanding the subtlety of the message, sensed that Ms. Hetian didn’t want to entangle much with his family and did not mention anything about "future repayment."

Perhaps, Ms. Hetian was really heartbroken by Old Lady Han, not even willing to have much to do with her distant cousin!

Village Chief Han misunderstood but also had some sympathy for Ms. Hetian.

He thought to himself, if Old Lady Han causes trouble again, as the village chief and young clan leader of Hanjiaping, he would have to "advise" a few words.

Ms. Hetian was unaware of Village Chief Han’s thoughts, and even if she knew, she would merely smile.

She no longer cared about the parents of this body, and if Old Lady Han caused a fuss, she wasn’t afraid.

However, if someone was willing to help, so she didn’t have to risk being scolded for directly clashing with her own mother, it would be a good thing.

Additionally, learning about He Erniu’s whereabouts was indeed an unexpected joy.

Ms. Hetian of course wasn’t worried about He Erniu as a husband, but had other plans in mind.

Curiously enough, after her sudden Awakening yesterday, she was full of guilt and love for her son, held grievances against her parents.

But towards her own husband, she only felt indebted, without any deep longing.

Perhaps, she and He Erniu weren’t truly a loving couple, just two people getting by together.

After learning from Qiu Zhaodi that her husband was still alive, her sense of guilt reduced significantly.

And now, knowing her husband’s whereabouts from Village Chief Han, Ms. Hetian only thought of her own plans; as for reuniting the husband and family, it never even crossed her mind.

Bidding farewell to the Han family, Ms. Hetian quickly rushed back to the cave.

"Home" only had Xiao Bao alone, and although Ms. Hetian had made defenses in the cave, she didn’t dare to stay away for too long!

Moreover, Xiao Bao was severely lacking a sense of security; if Ms. Hetian delayed too long, the child would worry and get scared.

Sure enough, as Ms. Hetian returned to the cave at lightning speed, from a distance, she saw He Xiaobao holding a sickle, guarding at the cave entrance, eagerly looking outside.
