“Han Yu, what do you mean by saying now is not the time? This was a promise made by the Han Family long ago, are you thinking of going back on it?” Su
Hengxuan’s tone grew increasingly unfriendly as he glared fiercely at Han Yu. It was as if Han Yu had to explain himself fully, otherwise Su Hengxuan would not let the matter rest.
Su Wenyue was also staring intently at Han Yu, waiting for his explanation. After the time they’d spent together and getting to know each other, she believed Han Yu wasn’t the type to stubbornly cling to outdated filial piety. He should understand the benefits of dividing the family property. So why was he now objecting? Could there be some reason behind it?
Han Yu, seeing the unfriendly gazes from the entire Su Family, including his wife, who seemed not to understand his stance, sighed internally and explained, “With the Han Family in such a situation, it would indeed be best to divide the property. However, it’s not easy at this moment. Even though my father and mother previously agreed, the rest of the family is unlikely to consent, especially my eldest and third brothers. If you bring up division now, they will never agree to it, and it will certainly cause trouble.”
“Such matters have always been decided by the elders of the family. What if they don’t agree? Does that mean they can just break promises? That’s a joke!” Su Hengxuan cared little for the rest of the Han Family beyond his sister. If it weren’t for the Han Family’s lesser status, which made them easier to manipulate, Su Hengxuan would have never consented to his sister being forced into this marriage by their father. Now, it seemed there was nothing in it for his sister but suffering and poverty.
Mr. and Mrs. Su remained silent, evidently agreeing with Su Hengxuan’s words. They were very displeased, not only with the Han Family’s lack of reliability but also with Han Yu’s attitude of making excuses for his family.
“Though that may be the case, if we force the issue, even if we are able to split the family, it’s likely that our family members will hold grudges against Lady Yue. They might even spread slanderous rumors about her. Moreover, Mrs. Wang is pregnant, and now she harbors malice against Lady Yue. My parents are also wary because of the child in her womb, and if Mrs. Wang acts spitefully again, Lady Yue’s situation will only become more unfavorable,” Han Yu said.
“Then what is to be done? Do we just not divide the property and let my younger sister be bullied in the Han Family? If that’s the case, it would have been better for you to have separated earlier. I can’t bear to see my sister suffer,” Su Hengxuan retorted.
“Please remember what I’ve said before, Second brother-in-law. Once Lady Yue married me, she became a member of the Han Family, and that is how it will be for the rest of our lives. Don’t talk about separation anymore! As for the division, it’s inevitable, but we must wait for the right moment. Lady Yue has a future with the Han Family, and I don’t wish for her to be disliked by my parents or criticized by others due to the division. The right time is approaching. I ask Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, and Cousin to please be patient a little longer,” Han Yu pleaded.
Su Hengxuan was still dissatisfied after hearing Han Yu’s words, “How long must we wait? You clearly made a promise last time, and yet my sister still suffered. Why should we believe what you say now?”
“Alright, since our son-in-law has said so, let’s wait a while longer. Ultimately, it’s for Lady Yue’s benefit. If it turns out as he says, all the better. We will wait and see,” said Mr. and Mrs. Su at last, having experienced more, they understood there was reason in what Han Yu said. In this world, women have it harder than men. Right now, the Su Family might be more powerful than the Han Family, but if Han Yu turned out to be successful, or like the man their daughter met in her dream, the Han Family could eventually surpass the Su Family. Their daughter would have to live her own life, and antagonizing the husband’s family would bring no benefits. Moreover, that would hurt Han Yu, who was their son-in-law and part of the Han Family. If they disregarded his feelings completely, it might dampen his affection towards their daughter.
Su Wenyue’s discomfort eased upon hearing Han Yu’s plans, feeling warmth in her heart. Unlike Mr. and Mrs. Su, who were still somewhat skeptical, Su Wenyue fully trusted Han Yu’s words. The pride in his heart made him disdainful of lying about such matters. Recalling Han Yu’s indifference and casualness in her previous life, she realized that now Han Yu truly cared for her, considering her well-being in so many ways and showing such deference in front of her parents; Su Wenyue felt deeply grateful.
“Father and Mother, I trust my Husband. Even though there are some unsatisfactory aspects in the Han Family, my Husband has always treated me well and taken good care of me. Please don’t make things difficult for him anymore,” she said.
Seeing his wife so supportive and protective of him, Han Yu felt an even softer spot in his heart.
“By the way, big brother, there’s something I wanted to ask you. Was that incident with Mrs. Wang’s eldest brother really your doing? She has been harping on me for a long time because of it, and I want to know the truth,” Su Wenyue didn’t avoid discussing it at another time but openly asked in front of
Han Yu.
Mr. and Mrs. Su and Su Hengxuan, seeing Su Wenyue’s directness, understood that the couple’s relationship had recently made significant progress, and they could trust and be honest with each other. This was indeed a good thing.
Since Su Wenyue did not shy away from the topic, evidently trusting Han Yu, Su Hengxuan responded openly, but he indeed was not responsible for the incident.
“Mrs. Wang has repeatedly made life difficult for my younger sister in the Han Family. While I did intend to teach the Wang family a lesson and even drove out the dishonest servant girl from the Su Family, considering the sister-in-law relationship between my little sister and Mrs. Wang, it wouldn’t have been right to go too far. I just wanted to give Mrs. Wang’s elder brother a warning. But before I could do anything, Wang Chenglin had already been targeted by someone else,” he explained.
“Ah, so it was like that. Who was it that had his eyes on Wang Chenglin? You must know, right?” Su Wenyue asked curiously. Although she had not admitted it to Mrs. Wang, in her heart, she had always thought the whole thing was most likely her brother’s way of venting anger for her. It turned out someone else was behind it, which made her feel unjustly treated by Mrs. Wang’s scheming.
Su Hengxuan nodded, “Wang Chenglin frequently goes to the County Town for small trades. Apart from being calculative, he’s overly ruthless, liking to drive people into a corner with nowhere to turn. That man is his business rival, who lost everything due to Wang Chenglin’s scheming and bore a grudge, hence the retaliation. ”
When Han Yu returned, he also spoke of the incident involving Mrs. Wang’s elder brother; the Han family members reacted differently. Mrs. Liu, who was always outspoken and didn’t care that Mrs. Wang was present, blurted out, “So, that’s what happened. It’s true that what goes around comes around. Wang Chenglin got what he deserved. One should never go too far; otherwise, retribution is inevitable!”
“But speaking of which, third sibling, because of this incident, you not only caused a huge commotion at home but also upset fourth younger sister-in-law enough to make her return to her mother’s family.. How should we settle this matter?”
