Chapter 488: I Want Her As My Daughter In Law (II)

Since she had done something wrong, Han Ruochen quickly put on a flattering smile in the hope that nothing would go wrong. "Dad, drink this egg drop soup first. You can then eat the porridge later." She had no idea how her father had spent the last month, and Han Ruochen did not dare to give him anything that would be too hard on his stomach.

"Oh, it smells nice." Though Old Madam Han had brought him meals, Han Yichen was now used to Han Ruochen’s cooking. Even though the food was delicious, he still missed Han Ruochen’s cooking, and after a month of staying without Han Ruochen’s meals, his originally better complexion under Han Ruochen’s care had turned pale once again. Now he looked like a real patient.

A few days ago, a few of Han Yichen’s employees came to visit him. Even the one who sent Han Yichen to the hospital and came to visit him every now and then came with the group. And when he saw Han Yichen, he was surprised to see him in such a pitiful condition. He immediately asked Han Yichen if he was being tormented, and when he found out that Han Yichen was just being picky. He could not help but scold him.

His employee thought that Han Yichen was being ungrateful. Han Ruochen had worked quite hard to make him plump and healthy. How could he do something so ungrateful?

Only then did Han Yichen start eating well.

Knowing how much the ward mate also liked to eat the meal that Han Ruochen had prepared for her father, she brought extra for him. The ward mate was quite happy when he saw Han Ruochen handing him a bowl of porridge.

"Young miss, it must have been hard on you. He is already a grown-up, yet he is still behaving like a child. To think he is greedy for a bite of food." The wardmate’s wife could do nothing about her husband and looked at Han Ruochen with an apologetic expression. "I must thank you. Not only did your dad recover well because of your family’s meal, but even your uncle got better."

"You should not stand on ceremony with me, Auntie. All of you helped to take care of my dad. I should be the one saying thank you to both of you." Han Ruochen was polite in her tone.

"You are really a well-behaved lady." The wardmate’s wife was surprised at Han Ruochen’s polite manner.

She had seen Han Yichen’s wife quite a few times, and the woman always had a sullen expression on her face, as if someone owed her more than a thousand yuan. The aunt at once understood that the woman was someone who did not like to mingle with others, and thus she did not bother with her.

What was more, the aunt had never seen someone as drafty and dense as Meng Yunhan.

As a mother, Meng Yunhan was not as dependable as Han Ruochen and the rest of her children. It was as if she had passed down all her knowledge to her children. Her husband was injured, and yet it was the children who were taking care of everything. From his meals to his medical fees.

What was the mother doing in the Han family?

If not for the young lady, who was likeable, she would not want her husband to be on such friendly terms with Han Yichen. They had helped Han Yichen so many times, and yet Meng Yunhan never looked at them with a good look. It was as if they had made a mistake by helping her husband. Even if the husband and wife did not have a good relationship, there was nothing wrong with her being polite to them. But who would have thought that the woman would look at them with such an attitude?

"Ah Chen, you need to go back. Your mother might come to take a look at me."

"Dad, mom is too busy with work these days. I don’t think that she will come to see you." Han Ruochen did not tell the truth to her father. After all, her father was a man of great pride. If he found out that Han Ziyan was pregnant before marriage, he would end up kicking the bucket.

"Is that so?" Han Yichen frowned. He wondered what kind of work had come up that Meng Yunhan did not come to look for him. However, when he heard Han Ruochen say that Meng Yunhan had work, he did not believe that Han Ruochen would lie to him and that too for Meng Yunhan. "Even so, you should go back. You just returned to the village and must be very tired. Go back and take some rest. There is no need to stay back."

Han Yichen had recovered more or less. If not for the fact that he was worried about Han Ruochen, then he would have returned home by now. With his mental condition not being good, he ended up dragging his condition a little. However, he was no longer as sick as he was before. He could take care of himself even if no one came to see him.

Han Yichen was already feeling guilty when he thought about how much he owed his daughters and sons. To think that he, a man in his sixties, had to rely on his children like a man as if he had done nothing all his life.

He really felt sorry for his children.

Since Han Yichen had said so, Han Ruochen decided to go back home.

However, as soon as she left, the ward mate’s eyes turned bright and started to sparkle. He asked anxiously, "Brother, what do you think of the matter that I brought up to you last time? Have you made the decision? I really like Ruochen. You can put your heart at rest. If you agree to it, then I will treat Han Ruochen like my daughter. If you don’t believe me, you can observe me and my wife for a few more days. You can also ask my wife; she also likes Ruochen. I really enjoy her company and I missed her just as much as you did."
