Xia Chu felt an unpleasant stir within her heart, "You were so young at the time, you must have been very scared and helpless, right? Didn't the village cadres or the police care?"
Han Ye sneered coldly, "Who would go out of their way for a couple of orphans and their mother, and get no thanks for it? After all, it was our family's 'domestic affair', so how could outsiders intervene? The police cared even less, they might not even respond if we reported the incident, let alone we didn't report it."
"At that time, I didn't even know to wield the law as a weapon to protect my rightful interests. I was even afraid to go to the police..."
Xia Chu understood, "No wonder you seemed so moved when I said 'not everyone has the courage and determination to use the law to protect themselves' that time, it wasn't just my imagination. It's really a pity... cough, but those are all things of the past now. You're doing well now, and that's enough as long as you'll have an even better future."
