âYou are not allowed to bully my mother!â Sun Ke placed her hands on her hips and shouted fiercely.
She knocked Zhen Niang down.
No one had expected that Sun Ke would suddenly jump into the fight.
Even Han Qiao was shocked. She quickly pulled the child to her side.
âMother, I wonât let anyone bully you,â Sun Ke looked up at Han Qiao.
Her eyes were filled with caution.
When she had been weak, her little girl had been brave. Now that she had learned a lot from Lady Lin, she understood what it meant to protect and respect.
Han Qiaoâs heart softened.
Of the three children, she loved Sun Ke the most because she was still young and innocent.
She didnât have a son who would protect her at all costs.
Today, she fought on the streets to let the world know that she had fallen out with Sun Yiming, Zhao Huan, and Zhen Niang.
At the same time, she also wanted everyone to know that she had nothing to do with these three people.
Today was the market day, and the streets were bustling with noise. There were layers and layers of people milling about.
Han Qiao wasnât afraid, nor did she feel ashamed.
She was upright and honest, and whether it was money or power, she completely crushed them.
At the end of the day, she was more or less bullying people.
She had to settle all the old and new grudges.
She asked someone to pull Han Chi back.
âEveryone, today Iâm not afraid to take off this cover and let everyone judge.â
âI have already divorced Sun Yiming, the person who was beaten. The reason for the divorce is very simple. He despised me for not being able to give birth to a son. He had been studying for many years and remained like a child. He drank and had fun outside all day. When he returned home, he would hit me whenever he was unhappy. Thatâs not all. He even hit my children and beat us to death every day.â
âHis mother and brother are even more despicable. They wanted to sell us to a dirty place. I was the one who proposed to separate from him. It was also with the approval of the mayor and the noble, and with the witness of my parents, relatives, and the clan leader that Sun Yiming wrote the divorce letter and let me keep my three daughters.â
âAt that time, he wanted to climb up the social ladder and even wrote a contract to sever all ties with the four of us. He agreed to never disturb us for the rest of his life. He treated the four of us as dead, and the four of us treated him as dead as well.â
âThen we got married separately. He married this woman in front of him, and I married my current husband, Heng Yi.â
âThey live their lives, and we live ours. We have nothing to do with each other.â
âBut heâs shameless. He keeps jumping in front of me to criticize me. What right does he have? Could it be that he just came because he missed the old me, who would allow him to beat me half to death?â
âIt is everyoneâs right to be human. Why should I live a life worse than pigs and dogs? Why canât 1 live better?â
Han Qiaoâs words were powerful.
Ninghe Town was not far from Puyi County, so many words had been spread.
Immediately, someone supported Han Qiao, âIâve heard of this before. The Sun family is very vicious.â
âYou still dare to spread rumors and cause trouble. Ninghe Townâs Deputy Lord Qingtian clearly distinguished right from wrong and punished you with a stick!â
âYouâre already remarried and youâre still making trouble. Thatâs not right!â
âYeah! You both already have your own significant others in your lives.â
After everyone agreed, Han Qiao continued, âLetâs talk about my relationship with this Madam Zhao.â
âHer husband, He Hong, was once saved by my husband, Heng Yi. He risked his life to hunt tigers in the mountains and sold them to the Feng family master. He took over a restaurant and handed it over to He Hong to manage. The profits were divided into two, one for He Hong and the other for my husband, Heng Yi.â
âStop talking,â Zhao Huanâs face darkened.
Because the following story would not end well.
It would do her no good to her.
âWhy donât you let me say it? Donât you think that justice is in the hearts of the people by showing off in front of me so casually? 1 must make things clear today and let everyone be the judge.â
Han Qiao did not care about Zhao Huan at all. âOver the past few years, Heng Yi has been hunting and delivering his catch to the restaurant every day. As for the price, itâs up to He Hong to give. My husband never thought that He Hong would mistreat him, nor did he ask for the silver after the dividends. Only when Heng Yi and I were about to get married did Heng Yi come to Puyi Countyâ¦â
âI beg you to stop talking.â Zhao Huanâs eyes were red.
She was a little crazy.
âWhy do you all think itâs my fault? That silver was mine. Heng Yi would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and he would give it to Chengâer. Why did you divorce him? Why did you marry Heng Yi? If it wasnât for you, Heng Yi wouldnât have come to the county to take the money. 1,1â¦â
Han Qiao looked at the deranged Zhao Huan, but her voice was still calm and composed. âThatâs why 1 said that justice is in the hearts of the people. When He Hong was about to die, Heng Yi saved his life. Heng Yi risked his life to hunt a tiger and exchanged it for the deed of the house and the land of the restaurant. He Hong became the owner of the restaurant from a homeless man and took half of the profits.â
âThese things arenât enough to satisfy your ambition. You stole all the money and took it to your family, including Heng Yiâs share. You didnât want to give it to us, but He Hong insisted on giving it to my husband, so you made a fuss with him. You were like a lunatic who would bite anyone he caught. He Hong tried to persuade you and warned you, but you didnât listen, so he divorced you.â
âEven so, he only took your son, He Cheng, leaving you all the property he had. You were still not satisfied and wanted to open a restaurant to fight against my family. You took away all the waiters, managers, and chefs in the restaurant. You sent people to keep an eye on my family, and you came to show off as soon as 1 left. What are you showing off for? Show off that your restaurant can earn a lot of money?â
âBut what does that have to do with me? I donât need a single copper of the money you earn.â
And the money that she, Han Qiao, earned had to support Zhao Huanâs son.
It really made one feel uncomfortable.
âStop talking, stop talking!â Zhao Huanniang screamed.
She pointed at Han Qiao, âYouâre so wicked!â
âIf 1 tell the truth, Iâm evil. If Iâm greedy, youâre kind. If Iâm shameless, youâre kind. If you plot against others, youâre still kind.â
Han Qiao bowed to the commoners who were watching the show. âEveryone saw it with your own two eyes today. 1 was just enjoying my time buying things, but they wanted to come to me. 1 think someone heard what we were talking about earlier. They were showing off and gloating. They were shameless and stretched their faces in front of me for me to hit them. If I didnât hit them, I would be letting them down.â
âAs for the future, 1 will still say the same thing. In the business world, itâs best if we donât know each other when we meet. Donât come to provoke me, and mind your own business. If you dare to come near me, Iâll tear your mouths apart and scratch your faces.â
After Han Qiao finished speaking, she pushed away Zhao Huan, who was screaming in front of her.
She didnât care that Sun Yiming was covered in dirt and looked lonely as he looked at her with regret.
She brought the children to continue buying radishes, shopping at the market, and buying other things.
Her expression was calm, not affected by what had happened earlier.
Her calm appearance made many people remember her. They knew that the restaurants she was going to open were called Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant and Qiaoyi Restaurant..
