Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Remembering the Kindness but Not the Beatings

Han Jingting stumbled, nearly falling to the ground, but fortunately, Chen Xuan steadied her in time.

Han Bowwen was furious, "What are you doing? Jingting came all the way to see us, why did you push her?"

Ding Lijuan scoffed coldly, "Do I need her to check on me? If it weren’t for her insisting on debt repayment, would we have ended up like this?!"

"When we had no place to live, no food to eat, did she care about us?"

"What kind of daughter is she? I think we raised her for nothing!"

Ding Lijuan had spent the past few days sleeping on the streets and begging for food, harboring much resentment; now, she unleashed it all on Han Jingting’s head.

Seeing Ding Lijuan in this state, Han Jingting felt an immense complexity in her heart.

At first, seeing her parents endure such hardships, she was extremely distressed, and tears came to her eyes.

But she hadn’t expected that upon meeting, her mother would start complaining about her, still as unreasonable as ever!

Chen Xuan spoke up, "Can you really blame Jingting for the situation you’re in?"

"Had you not squandered those twenty million, would you have ended up like this?"

"You say you have nowhere to live? When you drove Jingting and Xiao Yu out of the house, leaving them homeless, did you care about their fate?"

Chen Xuan’s rebuttal left Ding Lijuan speechless.

"What are you to meddle in this! I’m speaking with my daughter, is it your place to butt in as a son-in-law?" Ding Lijuan lashed out in embarrassment and rage.

Chen Xuan’s expression remained calm, "I’m merely stating the facts. If you could reason even a bit, our family wouldn’t have come to this!"

Ding Lijuan, red-faced with anger, retorted, "Who are you to say I’m unreasonable? Besides, do I have to make sense to a son-in-law who married into our family?"

"When your family needed money, you did whatever I told you obediently—did you ever think about reasoning with me then?"

"What now? You’ve grown bold, seeing our family in despair, so you think you can bully us?"

"Let me tell you, no matter what, our family is still better than you. Even if we beg, we have more dignity in our bones than you country bumpkins!"

Han Bowwen, furious, slapped Ding Lijuan, "What’s so dignified about you? Begging for food and still claiming dignity! I’m more ashamed than you are!"

"Chen Xuan is absolutely right. If you could reason even a little, our family wouldn’t have to live like this!"

After hearing this, Ding Lijuan sat down on the ground in a daze, bursting into tears and screaming.

"You damned men, not one of you is any good!"

"When I had the means, you all treated me like a god, and now that I’m down, you all want to step on me!"

"I don’t want to live anymore, I just don’t!!"

Ding Lijuan caused such a scene without a shred of shame, her cries drawing the attention of passersby; Han Bowwen wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Han Jingting also felt helpless, "Mom, can you please stop making a scene? I didn’t come here today to argue with you!"

As she spoke, Han Jingting took out a property deed and a set of house keys.

"What’s this?" Han Bowwen was stunned.

"Mom, Dad, I just found out about your situation. Here are our house’s property deed and keys, I’m giving them back to you."

As she said this, Han Jingting took out a bank card, "There’s twenty thousand yuan on this card, enough for you to spend for a while. You can go back to living there now!"

Looking at the property deed and bank card before her, Ding Lijuan was quite surprised.

Han Bowwen was so moved he shed tears, "Jingting, you’re still the one who treats us well!"

Ding Lijuan seemed ashamed as well, unsure of what to say.

Faced with the parents she had not seen for many days, Han Jingting found that she, too, did not know what to say.

"There’s nothing else, so I’ll be going now,"

Han Jingting said, then turned to leave.

Han Bowwen hurriedly asked, "Jingting, where do you live now? How are you doing? Why don’t you and Xiao Yu come back and stay at home?"

The concern from her father warmed Han Jingting’s heart a little, but she still replied, "No, I’m staying at Chen Xuan’s place now, and it’s pretty good. Dad, you and mom must take good care of yourselves, okay? And remember to call me if there’s anything!"

After saying this, Han Jingting and Chen Xuan left straight away.

Once they were gone, Ding Lijuan’s face turned ugly.

"A daughter married off is like water poured away!"

"We had agreed to find a suitable son-in-law to join our family, but look at her now, happily running off with that loser!"

There was also a sense of loss in Han Bowwen’s heart.

Having Chen Xuan join the family was one thing, but his daughter marrying out was quite another. It made Han Bowwen feel a loss of face as well.

"It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t driven Jingting away from home in the first place, would she have gone to Chen Xuan?" Han Bowwen complained.

No sooner had he finished speaking, his ear was sharply grabbed by Ding Lijuan.

"What’s this? Give you a few days’ slack, and you think you can ride roughshod over me?"

"You dare to talk back to me like that? Let me remind you, my name is on the property deed. Don’t you dare cross me again, or believe me, I’ll have you back sleeping on the streets!"

Having recovered the house, Ding Lijuan’s attitude quickly returned to being as overbearing as before.

Han Bowwen felt utterly aggrieved.

Though these past few days had been difficult, at least Ding Lijuan had been somewhat subdued.

As soon as Ding Lijuan regained control of the finances, Han Bowwen lost his status just like before, completely diminished.

"Let’s go, we’re going home!"

Ding Lijuan, with Han Bowwen in tow, withdrew all twenty thousand yuan and then, in high spirits, took a cab back home, feeling like they were returning in glory.

At first, the taxi driver, seeing how they were dressed like beggars, was reluctant to take them, but he was quickly swayed by Ding Lijuan’s two hundred-yuan notes.

Watching Ding Lijuan acting like money was no object, Han Bowwen shook his head helplessly.

This woman had quickly forgotten the miserable scene when they had knelt in the square for an entire morning over twenty yuan for a meal.

Twenty minutes later, Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen returned to their home in Fenghua Residential Area.

Seeing the familiar room and furniture, they finally felt a sense of solidity.

"The feeling of coming home is just so good!" Han Bowwen exclaimed.

Ding Lijuan nodded again and again, "Indeed! It’s so good! But we can’t just think about our own comfort!"

As she spoke, Ding Lijuan pulled out her phone, ready to make a call.

"What are you doing? Who are you calling?" Han Bowwen didn’t understand.

It was obvious to Ding Lijuan, "Who else but Xiao Liang?"

"We might have a place to live now, but don’t forget, Xiao Liang is still out there washing dishes and sleeping in storage rooms!"

"I’m going to tell him the good news right now, so he can move back as soon as possible!"

Han Bowwen was so angry he could almost spit blood.

If it weren’t for Ding Liang, their family wouldn’t have sunk so low. And now this woman wanted to bring the very person who caused their plight back into their home—it was a classic case of not learning from past mistakes!
