Han Pei’s words made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.
In the latter half of the night, Gu Li went to the kitchen to cook. Song Yao sat at the dining table and helped Han Pei analyze how to deal with her top-notch relatives.
Han Pei held Song Yao’s hand and said, “Yao, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know where to go.”
Song Yao comforted her. “Sometimes, you really don’t have to worry too much. If your aunt doesn’t treat you well, you’ll be independent. If Niu hits you, you’ll divorce him.”
“I want a divorce too, but what about the money? My aunt said before that if I dare to get a divorce, she won’t return a single cent of the betrothal money!”
This was because the betrothal gift from the Daniu family to Han Pei had a requirement. Han Pei had to give birth to a son for Daniu.
Otherwise, the betrothal money would have to be returned intact. Han Pei began to feel anxious.
Song Yao also knew Han Pei’s concerns. She said, “That’s their business. You just have to divorce them in peace. If they dare to come looking for you, call the police.”
Unexpectedly, at the mention of calling the police, Han Pei panicked even more.
She frowned and said, “But my mother-in-law said that if I really dare to get a divorce, she will sue me for fraud!”
“Is that so?” Song Yao sneered. “Then let her sue me. I want to see how many years a trashy man like your man, Daniu, will be sentenced to.”
Han Pei was shocked. “Are you saying that the money is not protected by the law?”
“Of course they’re not protected by the law. This is the money they earned from selling their daughter. It didn’t fall into your hands. What does it have to do with you?”
Hearing Song Yao’s words, Han Pei felt much more at ease.
She grabbed Song Yao’s hand and said, “Yao! Thank you so much!”
Song Yao yawned. “It’s fine. Go to bed early. I think your in-laws will come over tomorrow. You have to rest well before you can have a good fight with them!”
That night, Han Pei was arranged to sleep on the sofa in the living room on the second floor.
She hugged the frightened Zhaodi and said, “My good daughter, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here. Mommy will protect you in the future…”
Zhaodi shrank into Han Pei’s arms. “Mom, can we really not go back to Grandma’s house in the future? I want to live with Aunt Song Yao. It’s fine if we don’t live with her. We can go anywhere, but don’t go home again…’
After saying that, Zhaodi looked worried. She was clearly still a child and was thinking more than an adult.
“Mommy, as long as you leave Daddy, I promise I won’t make you angry again. I’ll be a good child. I’ll listen to whatever Mommy says. I beg you not to return to Grandma’s house…”
Hearing this, Han Pei’s heart broke.
She hugged Zhaodi tightly in her arms and cried, “Zhaodi, don’t worry. I promise I won’t go back to your father’s place again. I’ll divorce your father tomorrow. I’ll love you well in the future… Zhaodi, I’ve let you down in the past…”
Han Pei was already sobbing uncontrollably. Her tears fell on Zhaodi’s face. Although Zhaodi didn’t know anything, she knew what her mother meant.
She raised her hand to wipe Han Pei’s tears and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll protect you too!”
Han Pei cried even harder. She hated herself for being incompetent. She hated herself even more for not being able to protect her closest bloodline in the world, causing her to experience a tragic childhood like her.
“Zhaodi, it’s all Mom’s fault in the past. Mom promises to earn a lot of money in the future and buy a lot of delicious food and beautiful clothes for Zhaodi. Mom promises to treat you well in the future…”
Han Pei wanted to say something else, but she realized that Zhaodi had already fallen asleep in her arms.
She fiddled with Zhaodi’s messy bangs, revealing her sallow and thin face.
This child had never eaten meat once in her life. How could she not be thin?
Han Pei felt that she owed Zhaodi too much. She kissed Zhaodi’s forehead, hugged her back, and fell asleep.
That night was the best sleep Han Pei had ever had in more than 20 years!
However, early in the morning, she was still woken up by the sound of glass being smashed outside the door.
She suddenly sat up from the sofa and saw that her man, Daniu, had already arrived at Song Yao’s house with his men.
The few of them came aggressively with weapons in their hands. Han Pei was so frightened that she could not speak!
“Where’s Han Pei? Did she come to your house? Song Yao! Hurry up and hand over Han Pei, or I’ll smash the glass in your house!”
