Chapter 1386: We Can Get Married In A Few Years

Father and Mother Han were extremely prejudiced against girls. When they were having children, they had two girls in succession, and the two old folks panicked. Fortunately, their third child was a boy, so they stopped worrying.

They were planning to have a few more sons. In a village, the more sons the better, so that there would be someone to do the farming.

But to their surprise, their fourth child was another girl. This time, Mother Han damaged her health and had difficulty getting pregnant again. So she did not get pregnant again for a long time.

Besides, too many children meant many mouths to feed. They could not afford it.

They wanted to abandon their youngest daughter, but the other three children disagreed. They all said that they would go on strike if their little sister was abandoned.

At that time, they were the only two adults in the family, and they had to support two old folks. So if the children went on strike, they would die of exhaustion.

The two older sisters suffered terrible beatings because of this. But the three children remained united and refused to work. They only ate and drank, and if they were not given any food, they would starve to death. But they refused to work no matter what.

The two daughters were the main labor force when it came to housework. Mother Han was used to being waited on. When the children suddenly went on strike, she could not manage.

Most importantly, the son she cared about the most refused to eat too. The entire family panicked.

At last, they had no choice but to keep their youngest daughter. But after that, Mother Han never got pregnant again. This made her dislike this youngest daughter even more.

…

When Han Jing was young, her two older sisters and her older brother practically raised her.

When she was small, her two older sisters took care of her, but when she grew up, she mainly depended on her elder brother.

Han Chuanzong’s birth must be explained from the time Han Shu got married and had children.

Han Shu was the couple’s only son. So he was forced to marry early and have sons to carry on the family name. But Han Shu still had no children even a year after his marriage. The two old folks were extremely vexed and were greatly displeased with their daughter-in-law, Han Xiaoqin.

Finally, she got pregnant, but she had a daughter. Father and Mother Han were so furious they wanted to get rid of Han Xiaoqin!

Han Yu was born prematurely. When Han Xiaoqin was pregnant, Mother Han sensed that she was not carrying a son, so she was even more displeased with her daughter-in-law. Han Xiaoqin was exhausted from doing the household chores and damaged her health. The doctor said it would be very difficult for her to get pregnant in the future unless she was carefully nursed. Then she might recover in the future.

But the Han family refused to care for her. Especially when the news of the one-child policy arrived. Father and Mother Han immediately panicked. Their daughter-in-law was a hopeless case, so they thought of having another one themselves.

They planned to quickly have a child before the policy came into effect, but to their surprise, Mother Han really became pregnant and had their youngest son, Han Chuanzong.

Now Father and Mother Han were entirely focused on their youngest son.

Their eldest son only had a daughter. To them, he had no future.

So Father and Mother Han pinned all their hopes on Han Chuanzong.

When Mother Han heard what Han Shu said, she said angrily, “Why not? Chuanzong is not young at all. He can get married in a few years and have children. That Wang family is willing to give us a villa! Who knows what kind of boyfriend she found for herself?”

Han Shu said angrily, “At her age and with her many years of education, Younger Sister is not meant for you to barter for a little villa. If you have the ability, go and build one yourself.”

Mother Han leapt up in anger. “If you had the ability, our family would have built a little villa long ago. Look at you now. Our family is so poor, Chuanzong barely has any good food. As an elder brother, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
