Chapter 67: Han Qiao Agreed
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao was a little surprised.
This was the first time Sun Xiu told her that she wanted to do something.
She didn’t make any requests for food or clothing.
She just worked diligently.
Sun Yi, who was standing at the side, also said softly, “mother, I want to learn too!”
However, the two sisters did not have much hope.
This was because they knew that if they wanted to learn embroidery well, they would need to hire a very good master.
Han Qiao looked at her two obedient and sensible daughters with uneasiness and anticipation.
The Han family members also looked over.
Han Qiao patted the two children’s heads and said gently, “it’s a good thing that you want to learn embroidery, and I’ll support you with all my might. But you have to understand that it takes a long time to embroider beautiful patterns. During this period, you will not only learn embroidery, but you will also learn to read and draw, and cultivate your own aesthetics and sentiments. Only when one’s heart is truly pure and pure can one embroider unique treasures in the world.”
“Do you understand?”
The two sisters hugged Han Qiao in unison. “Mother, we understand. We’ll definitely study hard!”
“Alright, then let’s learn.”
Han Qiao loved her three children very much.
She had taken someone else’s mother’s body, so she naturally had the original owner’s feelings. Moreover, the three girls were adorable.
She couldn’t do anything to mistreat her children.
The Han family could not help but ask Han Qiao, “are you planning to ask a seamstress to teach you at home? Or send her to their family?”
There was a huge difference between the two.
If she invited the embroidery lady to teach at home, she could teach a little more. If she sent them to someone else’s house, the Han family would not be able to take advantage of this.
“I can’t estimate it for the time being. We’ll talk about it when we move the town.”
Since the two children wanted to learn embroidery, Han Qiao asked them to take care of their hands.
She couldn’t let their hands become deformed, nor could they let their fingers become rough.
“The rough skin on your hands will damage the thread and cloth, especially the silk thread.”
“In the future, you have to wash your hands carefully. Don’t hide any dirt under your nails. Don’t leave too long nails.”
“Your nails must be polished and smooth.”
Han Qiao was really trying her best to teach the three children how to be cute, self-respecting, self-reliant, and someone who was liked and respected by others.
When she said this, the three children listened carefully and then raised their hands.
“It’s not just the hands, but also the eyes. Embroidery is the most eye-consuming. Many embroiderers go blind when they get old. This is because they didn’t take good care of themselves when they were young. They did too much embroidery under the oil lamp at night.”
“So not only do you have to cherish your hands, but you also have to cherish your eyes.”
“Drink more chrysanthemum tea and wolfberry tea.”
However, he also understood that it was still too early to say anything.
For the sake of the child’s future, Han Qiao and Heng Yi discussed this matter.
“It’s up to you. Are we going to town or county?”

Han Qiao was also thinking about this.
The starting point of the trip to the county was different. It was a steady journey to the town, but there were also many troubles.
Especially the Heng family, they were like dog skin plasters, the best of the best.
Han Qiao was also very thoughtful. She didn’t tell Han Yuan how much money she had, how much Heng Yi had given her, or that Heng Yi had bought a house outside Puyi County.
She had no intention of harming others, but she was definitely wary of them.
Just like how she stuffed her wardrobe with the cloth Heng Yi brought back, she didn’t send it back.
It was fine as long as it was about the same. It would not be good to give too much.
“Then what are your plans?” Heng Yi asked.
“I was thinking of going to town first and then slowly migrate to the countryside.”
There was one thing that Han Qiao didn’t say. She didn’t want the Sun family to have it easy.
The Sun family was too evil. If they were not pressed to death, they would be like a hanging knife. No one knew when they would swing it at them.
And the Heng family, she had to let them know that she, Han Qiao, wasn’t easy to bully. That way, she wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in the county town.
The losses were not great if they caused a ruckus in the town.
If they went to the county or the provincial capital in the future, the impact would be huge.
And Heng Yi’s childhood sweetheart, Zhen Niang…
“Alright, then I’ll get Third Brother Hu to help me find out if there’s a suitable house!”
“We want a street shop, the kind with a backyard. We can live by ourselves. We have silver, so it’s better if it’s bigger. There’s no need to be in a hurry. It’s best if you find someone suitable.” Han Qiao said.
Heng Yi nodded.
His injuries were almost healed. Because he ate well and was in a good mood, he felt stronger.
His recovery was pretty good.
However, Han Qiao did not allow him to enter the mountain, so he stayed at home and helped to fetch water, water the vegetables, catch fish in the stream, and chop some firewood at the back of the mountain.
Elder Hu sent a horse over on August 26th.
All men liked this kind of thing, and Heng Yi liked it too.
The horse was as white as snow, and its eyes were bright and piercing.
“I thought that you wouldn’t be able to enter the carriage at the moment, so I didn’t get a carriage. I’ll get a horse for you to ride first!”
Heng Yi nodded and asked Hu Laosan to stay for dinner.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi immediately went to prepare the food.
Han Qiao went to the kitchen to help, but Sun Xiu persuaded her to come out.”
Mother, we can do it. Ask Fifth Uncle Heng to help us kill a chicken!”
“Alright.”
While Heng Yi was killing the chicken, Third Brother Hu was talking to him.
“Do you still have the ginseng you gave me last time?”
1Q11
“My father doesn’t look good again. I saw that the ginseng you gave him last time was quite good. I was thinking…”
“Also, how many do you want?”
“Can three or five be enough? I only have one father.”
Heng Yi nodded.” Alright, give me the horse!”
“I took advantage of you.” Third Brother Hu said.
Horses were also precious, but they were not difficult to find.
Ginseng was really hard to find.

Uncle Hu treats me well!

Heng Yi got seven ginsengs from the mountain last time, and gave two to Hu Laosan last time.
He didn’t honestly give it all to Third Brother Hu.
He gave three and kept two.
Thinking that Han Qiao’s body would recover a little, he gave her some nourishment.
He knew that there were some in the mountains, but he couldn’t enter the mountains.
“Let uncle eat it first. I’ll enter the mountain in a few days.”
“Thank you, brother!”
When the dishes were served, Third Brother Hu ate the braised chicken and leaned closer to Heng Yi. “You have good taste.”
Each of the three daughters was more beautiful than the other.
Han Qiao’s appearance was also indescribable.
His temper was still good.
“Help me see if there are really any street shops selling them. They have to be bigger, two to three, three to four street shops. The kind that can accommodate people at the back.”
“I’ll help you search.”
Some street shops wanted to sell them, but the prices were not suitable, and the owners were reluctant to sell them.
Unless they were in dire need of money.
“It’s only a few days until your wedding. When are you going to clean up the house in town? Did anyone from the Heng family come to discuss the banquet with you?”
Heng Yi shook his head.
Third Brother Hu fell silent.
When he got married, his parents had been busy since early in the morning. They could not sleep for several nights during the few days of marriage.
“Heng Yi, are they really your parents?” Third Brother Hu couldn’t help but ask.
Heng Yi’s chopsticks paused.
His face was dark.
The three children lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Han Qiao picked up some food for Heng Yi. “What does it matter if they’re biological parents? You’re going to spend the rest of your life with me!”
Her words instantly soothed his hurt heart..
