Chapter 103 - Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Joint Maintenance (2/2)

Han Hao was not receptive and was about to respond when Han Ping ran out of patience and threw a punch. Such a fool needed to be properly disciplined, or who knows what trouble he might cause in the future. Since the Main House had not yet split up, any mistakes this fool made could also drag Han Ping down, otherwise he wouldn’t bother intervening.

“Ah, Han Ping, you ruthless scoundrel, how dare you hit my son!” Mrs. Han Wang cried out in anguish when she saw her son being hit, giving a scream as if a grave incident had occurred. But to her, her son’s troubles were indeed monumental, so she immediately rushed forward, only to be held back by the Old Lady and Mrs. Zhou.

The Old Lady and Mrs. Zhou may have developed some resentment from the recent incident, but having spent years cooperating to suppress Mrs. Wang, they had established considerable tacit understanding, and they still shared an unaltered common goal.

“Mrs. Wang, what do you think you’re doing!”

“What do I think I’m doing? That monster hit my son; I will tear him to shreds!” Despite being restrained by the Old Lady and Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Han Wang kept trying to lunge forward, ready to confront Han Ping as if in a deathmatch.

“How dare you! Who are you calling a monster? Han Ping is my legitimately born eldest son and grandson. If I ever hear those words from you again, don’t blame me for being impolite!” The Old Lady flared up as soon as she heard Mrs. Wang’s derogatory words about Han Ping.

“That’s right, Mother-in-law, my Husband has always shown you great respect. And this is how you treat him, watching on as he suffers? It chills the heart,” Mrs. Zhou didn’t miss any chance to undermine Mrs. Wang.

Seeing the Main House in turmoil without saying anything themselves, the people from the Second House were in no mood to watch the drama unfold. Han Yu exchanged a look with Han Ping and then led the people from the Second House out of the Main House, and no one stopped them. Some children were waiting outside, and upon seeing the adults coming out, they joyfully gathered around, chattering and laughing.

Yang Juxiang and her daughter followed behind downcast, not uttering a word. After what had happened, they really had no face to continue staying at the Han Family. Even with thick skin, there was a limit – and most importantly, even if they stayed unashamed, they would not reap any benefits from the people of the Second House.

“Oh? Juxiang, you’re leaving? Since it’s not the busy farming season, why don’t you stay a while longer? It’s not easy to come all this way,” Mrs. Yang mentioned, despite her inner displeasure towards her sister and niece’s behavior, she still extended an offer to stay as a matter of courtesy between relatives.

“I have already imposed on Eldest Sister’s hospitality for quite a long time; how could I possibly stay indefinitely.”

“What, you’re leaving? Why haven’t I heard anything about it?” Mrs. Wang was taken aback upon hearing that they planned to leave and became visibly upset.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang did not want Jiang Chunlan to leave, given her current situation of staying put in her room as much as possible to avoid displeasing others. She had relied on Jiang Chunlan to cause trouble for Su Wenyue, and if Jiang Chunlan were to leave, Mrs. Wang would be even more helpless. Thinking about her big brother’s matters just intensified her resentment.
