Reborn In The 90's: Saving My Siblings With A Fishing System Chapter 322: I Am Not In The Wrong (II)

"Dad, I know that Mom asked you to say sothing to . You can tell frankly what she and Ziyan want from ; as long as the matter is not too serious, I will think about whether I can agree to their terms." Han Ruochen did not beat around the bush and straightforwardly asked her father to tell her the truth. It wasn’t like she was unaware of the virtues of her good mother and sister. Since they had pushed her poor father into a corner again, she might as well listen to what they were scheming again.

"..." Han Yichen smiled bitterly. "Ruochen, I...your mother and I were just discussing your marriage prospects. You are not young anymore, and you might be aware of this, but you have been the talk of the village ever since you bought your boat. I am worried that soone will try to sche against you." He paused and then added, "And we don’t have enough dowry to find a decent in-law...so..."

"Dad," Han Ruochen interrupted her father. Her eyes, which were like black pearls, stared at her father with a rising gloom in them. "Let ask you one thing clearly. Is it my fault that you and Mum don’t have enough money to provide a dowry for ?"

"Of course not! How can it be your fault?" There was nothing to discuss about this matter.

"Then Dad, do you want to say that even though it was my mother who made the mistake, I should be the one to settle this ss for her and even suffer the unfairness because of her actions? Dad, do you even know that the reason we don’t have enough money is not only because Mom is not good with the finances but also because she dotes on Ziyan excessively? Even now, she gave her twenty yuan. How much is Mom’s salary? What is the condition of our family? I am not tattling, but I want you to know the situation of the house."

"Ziyan is not even making any concession when it cos to her daily life’s comfort, but I am expected to make a concession when it cos to my entire life decision? Just because my mum wasted ten thousand yuan, I am supposed to marry a man out of compromise? Do I owe Mom and Ziyan sothing?"

"No, of course not!" Han Ruochen’s words made Han Yichen even more embarrassed. Did they not discuss the financial condition of the family last night? Why was ng Yunhan giving twenty yuan to Han Ziyan the very next day? What was she even thinking? How was he supposed to raise his head in front of Han Ruochen? His daughter was correct. Han Ziyan was not even making the slightest concession, and she was the adoptive daughter, so why was Han Ruochen expected to lower her demands when it ca to marrying a man with whom she was supposed to spend her entire life?

He rubbed his face and said apologetically, "I am sorry, Chenchen. Dad was not thinking clearly."

Han Ruochen wanted to get angry, but she did not know where to begin, and looking at her father’s tired face, she did not want to be too harsh. After all, her father was unaware of the cruel intentions that her mother was hiding in her heart. She sucked in a breath and said to her father, "Dad, I am not blaming you. So don’t be anxious; I just hope that you will understand that just because we are family, no one is supposed to compromise on their future because of a person’s mistake. Especially when the said person doesn’t even realise that they have done sothing wrong."

"Mom wants to marry a simple man, but if you ask her what kind of man she wants Ziyan to marry, she will definitely tell you that she wants soone from the county or the city or maybe even the capital. I have heard her say this many tis why do you think she allowed Ziyan to have an affair with Yang Jianming knowing that he was engaged to ? In the end, isn’t she just looking out for Ziyan? I know that Mom feels sorry for her sister, but that is not a reason for her to sacrifice our futures. Dad, please stop listening to Mother; it only helps her get bolder in making a fuss every ti she wants sothing unethical."

"Do you even know why she pushed you to say these words to ? It’s because she wants you to take the bla while she plays the role of the good guy. Have you forgotten how many tis this has happened? To the point that your own children are hiding their sufferings from you."

After reminding him what he was doing wrong and placing herself in the highest point of justice and morality, Han Ruochen switched her tone of conversation. "And you don’t have to worry about my marriage." She pursed her lips and made so guesses about what her mother might have said to her father. "I will not pursue a man unless I have the confidence to get together with him, and I have already learnt my lesson with Yang Jianming. Dad, I am not even looking for a man right now... Unlike Ziyan, who always wants to make things difficult for you, I cannot do the sa. I first want to make sure that Jianyou will be able to enter a good college and that Beijiang will be able to get better."

"What is the condition at ho? How can I even think of marriage right now? As for whether I am getting old or not...as long as I have money, even if I were a soft-shell turtle, I am sure there will be a line of n waiting for to marry." She took her dad’s hands into hers and promised, "And even if I chose a man of high profile and status, like I promised, I will take care of the dowry and won’t push you into choosing over my younger siblings."
