When Tong Zhaodi heard Han Ruochen's response, she was quite disappointed. However,
"Well, we did find a lot of seafood for such a short duration."
Han Ruochen hummed in response. She had to admit that the haul was indeed good, but that was only when she was speaking about herself; as for Tong Zhaodi, she only got some snails and clams. From the looks of it, it seemed like she was going to get scolded again. However, this had nothing to do with Han Ruochen. If the Tong family were any good, she would have given Tong Zhaodi a share of her hunt, but that family—Han Ruochen shook her head.
It was better to throw an elephant trunk clam at a dog than let Tong Zhaodi take it back.
If she allowed Tong Zhaodi to take these good things back, there was a good chance that the Tong family would start targeting her in an attempt to leech off her. Han Ruochen didn't want that to happen, so naturally, she would not do anything that would start causing trouble for her.
