Reborn In The 90's: Saving My Siblings With A Fishing System
Chapter 462: Lost CrabsHan Xuehan handed him the blue crabs that Han Ruochen had caught and said, "These are nothing much. Take them home and cook them for your family."
Zhu Kun pursed his lips when he heard her words. "I don’t have a family. I guess you don’t know about it, but I don’t have a wife or children. So there is no need for you to give me so many blue crabs."
"We have too many of them." Han Xuehan was not confident about many things, but when it came to the things that Han Ruochen hunted, she had absolute confidence in giving them away because there was no way her sister would have an opinion about it.
She smiled at the man and said, "You have helped me greatly. If you didn’t come..." she trailed off, not saying another word. After all, Qiao Tingyan was still her husband. "Be careful on the road."
After saying that, she turned around on her feet and walked back inside her house.
Zhu Kun stayed in the same spot and watched Han Xuehan go inside with a complicated look in his eyes, but after a long pause, he shook his head and walked away.
At night, when Second Aunt Han came to the kitchen, she saw the missing blue crabs and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. She was planning to send those blue crabs to her mother.
A few nights ago, her mother-in-law had cooked those blue crabs, and Second Aunt Han had to admit that the flesh of those blue crabs was really good. She wanted her brothers to share a bite of these blue crabs as well, but they were gone before she could even touch them!
"Mom! Did we get robbed today?" Second Aunt Han was furious, and her tone was not good at all. When she looked at Han Xuehan, it was as if she was looking at her enemy.
Old Madam Han was slightly confused when he heard her second daughter-in-law say that they were robbed. She put down her knitting needles and looked at the woman with slight confusion in her eyes. "What do you mean? When did we get robbed?"
And why didn’t she have any idea that they were robbed?
Second Aunt Han grew even more dissatisfied when she heard Old Madam Han’s response. She pursed her lips and shot an unpleasant look at Han Xuehan. See? She knew it. This girl was growing more and more audacious. She gave away those blue crabs without asking them a thing!
It was one thing that she didn’t have any respect for her, but she didn’t even have the slightest bit of respect for her grandmother!
"The blue crabs! There were two of them in the kitchen, but they are gone now." As she spoke, she glanced at Han Xuehan with a blaming look in her eyes as if she were looking at a thief.
Han Xuehan’s expression turned awkward while Old Madam Han’s expression turned a little more understanding. She seemed to have realised why her second daughter-in-law was making a fuss. She pursed her lips and said, "So what if they are gone? Did you catch them? Or did you hunt them?"
"You didn’t, so what if they are missing? Does it have to do with you?"
When Second Aunt Han heard her mother-in-law’s remark, she was stunned. She couldn’t help but say, "How can it not matter? Those crabs were hanging in our kitchen. If they are lost, then of course, we need to see it through to the end!"
Those were blue crabs! Each of them cost at least seventy yuan, and each one of them tasted really good. How could she just let the matter go without holding the one who was responsible for the disappearance of the blue crabs accountable?
"Who are you to see it through to the end? Are you a policeman? Or are you the one who caught them? I don’t think so!" Old Madam Han dropped the dried seaweed that she had just finished collecting and got up from the wooden strip outside in the courtyard.
She shot a look at Second Aunt Han, who immediately turned pale after seeing the gaze with which her mother-in-law was looking at her. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Mom, no matter what, those things belonged to us. How could anyone give those crabs away?"
"Second Aunt, I am so sorry about those crabs, but I was the one who gave them away." Han Xuehan didn’t expect such a troublesome thing to happen just because she gave a few crabs away. What was more, these crabs were what her sister had caught. So, was there a need to make a fuss over it? She couldn’t understand it.
Second Aunt Han immediately pursed her lips and turned to look at her mother-in-law with a look of distaste in her eyes. What did she say? They had let a wolf in their house!
"What are you looking at?" Old Madam Han narrowed her eyes and asked, "So what if Xuehan gave it away? Remember those crabs were given to us by Ruochen. If Xuehan wants to give them away, then she can give them away. Who are you to question her?"
"Mom—"
"Enough, there is no need for you to say anything else. I know what has been going on in your head for ages." Old Madam Han rolled her eyes when she saw that her second daughter-in-law still wanted to quibble with her.
"You better not start with me. I know what you are thinking, and I have no intention of making things difficult for you. So you better stay quiet for me." Old Madam Han said nothing else, but the gaze alone was enough to make Second Aunt Han lower her head and turn quiet. She didn’t dare to say anything, but in her heart she was filled with anger and frustration.
This was really unfair! How could her mother-in-law support Han Xuehan to this extent? Those were one hundred and forty yuan worth of blue crabs! How could they give them away without asking?
