This time, Gu Yanqing held out a bank card to her.

Xu Han's eye twitched. This was such an overbearing CEO

style.

The style really suited Gu Yanqing's character setting in the book.

Still, Xu Han pushed the card back and said, "I don't need this either."

"Hm?" Gu Yanqing looked puzzled.

"I've thought it over these past few days. I'm capable of raising Koukou, so sorry for the trouble, but you don't need to worry about it. Besides, if you want children, there are plenty of women willing to have them for you. Just pretend Koukou doesn't exist. I don't want to have much to do with you either."

Xu Han had figured it out. She would rather suffer a little and take nothing than let Koukou know he had such an awesome father.

Otherwise, even if Gu Yanqing did not mistreat him, he probably would not escape competing with the male lead—like both of them falling for the female lead or something. The male lead had plot armor, while a villain like him existed only to highlight the male lead and give him experience points.

Thinking of her own son becoming someone else's experience points made Xu Han, his bargain-bin mother, feel heartbroken.

So, they might as well have nothing to do with each other for the rest of their lives. She did not know whether she could fight fate, but she had to try. It was better than waiting helplessly for death.

She only hoped Koukou could live a peaceful, stable life.

Hearing that, Gu Yanqing said with some displeasure, "What do you mean?"

Xu Han spread her hands. "Exactly what it says."

Gu Yanqing frowned. "Miss Qiao, please cooperate and settle this properly. Put away whatever little schemes you have in mind and stop wasting each other's time. It wasn't easy for me to make time to come here, so don't test my patience again and again."

Pfft. Why was this conversation becoming more and more like an overbearing CEO drama?

Xu Han simply said, "Can't be helped. To get your attention, I can only do this on purpose. Aren't men always more interested in what they can't have? Later, you'll think, 'Woman, very good. You've successfully caught my attention.'"

Gu Yanqing: "..."

In the end, Gu Yanqing's patience failed the test. He left with a dark expression—driven away by Xu Han.

Watching his retreating back, Xu Han sighed regretfully. At least a million. She actually still loved money.

However, after things had turned out like this, Gu Yanqing probably would not come again. He was proud and arrogant. After failing to reach an agreement twice, he would see it as Xu Han's refusal to appreciate his kindness. Based on his character setting, he definitely would not come running into a wall for the third time.

Two days later, Qiao Wanqing's paternal uncle, Qiao Xinde, and his wife, Luo Yangxiu, indeed came over from town aggressively.

They first stood outside Xu Han's courtyard gate and cursed for a while, calling them thieves who wanted to forcibly occupy everyone's land. They asked whether they had any shame, whether they were about to die and wanted to claim it as a burial plot. In any case, their words were especially nasty.

Xu Han did not know how to curse people, nor did she intend to reason with them, so she remained silent and let them shout all they wanted.

After they finished cursing, they went to the fields and started destroying the vegetables she had planted. Not only did they ruin them, they also threw the uprooted vegetables, weeds, and other things into her courtyard, acting outrageously arrogant.

Xu Han moved a stool beneath the eaves and sat down. Looking at the mess in the courtyard, she hoped they would throw in even more. The fiercer they acted, the more justified she would be.

Yet she also felt sorry for the life Grandma Qiao had lived over the past few years. A rural old woman with no one to rely on, guarding her little plot of land only to be bullied by horrible relatives—it was truly pitiful.

Xu Han sat there until they had destroyed all the vegetables in her fields. Only then did she slowly stand up, walk outside the courtyard, and watch them emerge from her vegetable patch with smug, overbearing expressions.

When Luo Yangxiu saw her, she sized her up and said disdainfully, "I was wondering where that old hag got the nerve. So you're back. I thought you'd run off with some man outside long ago."

Xu Han had returned quietly and rarely went out, so many people in the village did not know she was back. Her uncle and aunt lived in town, so it was normal that they did not know.

"I'm not as impressive as Auntie thinks," she said lightly, glancing at her before giving a cold laugh. "Did Auntie enjoy all that cursing?"

"Hmph." Luo Yangxiu said, "Don't think this is over. If you dare set your sights on that plot of land again, I'll scatter broken glass all over it. None of us will have an easy time."

"Of course it's not over. After all, you still have to compensate me for a whole garden of vegetables."

Luo Yangxiu laughed. "In your dreams."

"Whether it's a dream or not, let the police decide."

Luo Yangxiu's expression changed. She turned toward the road and, sure enough, saw a police car pull up in front of their house. Two Police Officers got out.

Xu Han had called the police as soon as they arrived. She had not expected the local police station to respond so quickly.

Since reason would not work, she might as well hand the matter directly to the police station for mediation.

This was the countryside, and Police Officers held a relatively sacred status here. Ordinary people did not dare throw tantrums or act shamelessly in front of them. Xu Han had counted on that, which was why she chose this method to resolve the matter.

Sure enough, although Luo Yangxiu and Qiao Xinde had been extremely arrogant, they were still ordinary citizens. They only dared bully timid Grandma Qiao. The moment they faced the Police Officers, they immediately cowered.

At first, they wanted to argue that the land belonged to their family, but Xu Han had the land ownership certificate.

The final mediation result was that the land belonged to Xu Han's side. Luo Yangxiu and the others were not allowed to come over and destroy anything her family planted again, or Xu Han would have the right to demand compensation for their losses.

But this time, it would be let go. They only needed to clean up the things they had thrown into Xu Han's courtyard.

"But what if they scatter broken glass in our fields and stop us from planting anything?" Xu Han looked innocent. "That's what they just said they would do."

"There's such a thing?" The Police Officer glanced at Luo Yangxiu and said, "That counts as intentional injury. It's against the law, and you could go to prison."

The Police Officer deliberately stressed the words "go to prison," and Luo Yangxiu shuddered.

Qiao Wanqing's uncle, Qiao Xinde, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Just a joke, a joke. My wife was speaking in anger. Officer, please don't listen to her. She was just talking big. She wouldn't really dare do something like that."
