Chapter 101: This Family Is Sick

The shop assistant also laughed.
Many people came to see this house. After all, the house was big and well-furnished. People might not be able to buy the same materials even if they had the money.
If you don’t have a high enough background or many connections, don’t even think about buying it.
The previous host didn’t want to live in the house anymore because she couldn’t sleep well at night when she was pregnant. She thought it wasn’t meant to be, so they left the furniture as it was.
In addition to her husband’s promotion, she believed there would be better things elsewhere.
What others wanted but could not get was just a matter of a word to the rich and powerful.
Han Qiao felt that it was quite worth it to buy this large house for 1,200 taels of silver. The main courtyard was really big, and the structure and layout were excellent. The six courtyards were well-arranged, with gardens, rockery, and lotus ponds. The servants’ quarters and stables at the back were also built neatly.
There was order to the way that everything was arranged.
Han Qiao didn’t even blink after spending 1,700 taels in one day to buy a house and a restaurant.
Heng Yi followed Han Qiao the entire time.
He didn’t have any objections to how Han Qiao spent the money.
When they got the deeds of the house and the restaurant, the two of them were still in a daze.
In just one afternoon, they had bought everything they wanted.
Others might need to go back and forth many times before they could even buy one.
Then the Broker Firm. Her requirement for the shop was not very high. A small one would do, as long as it wasn’t located in an alley. People won’t even know that such a Broker Firm existed. Where would their business come from?
Seeing that it was getting late, they should return to the inn.
They can talk about the shop tomorrow.
Back at the inn, Grandma, Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were all surprised when they learned that the house and restaurant had been bought.
“You bought them already?” Grandma asked.
“Yes. We’ll go over and take a look tomorrow. The house is huge and it’s very comfortable to live in.”
She couldn’t wait to live in the county town.
They had originally planned to have dinner at the inn, but He Hong personally came over to treat them.
“We can go over to eat, but we won’t stay at your home.” Han Qiao said.
She mainly wanted to test Zhao Huan’s attitude.
“Alright,” He Hong agreed.
He looked at Heng Yi as if he wanted to say something, but didn’t.
They arrived at the He Hong family.
The first time she saw Zhao Huan, Han Qiao knew that she was not doing well.
Her face was pale, her eyes were sunken, and her expression was filled with sorrow. She looked very haggard.
She looked at Heng Yi and Han Qiao, who looked like a perfect match.
Especially the way Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao. The man’s eyes were filled with infatuation. Anyone who wasn’t blind could tell how much Heng Yi loved Han Qiao.
“Big Brother Heng, Sister-in-law, sit down!” Zhao Huan forced a smile.
She was pretending to be polite.
Han Qiao and Heng Yi nodded.
Grandpa and Grandma were invited to the main seat.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke sat quietly beside Han Qiao.
Zhao Huan looked at the three children.
They were raised well. It was true that they looked as though they were carved out of jade.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi’s beauty had already begun to show. They sat quietly without cowering.
“Sister-in-law is really good at raising her children. It makes me want to have a daughter just by looking at them.”
“Then hurry up and give birth to one. Daughters are more considerate than sons.” Han Qiao agreed.
“I want to, but my stomach is disappointing me.” Zhao Huan sighed as she rubbed her belly.
She then looked at He Hong.
Her eyes could not hide the sadness.
Han Qiao consoled her, “You’re still young. There’s no rush to have a child. It’s good to have another child when Cheng’er is older. You can relax when your son plays with his younger siblings.”
“That’s true. I’m still young. I want to give Cheng’er a younger brother and a younger sister.”
He Hong talked to Grandpa and Grandma while Heng Yi and the three children listened quietly.
Heng Yi couldn’t tell the undertone exchanged between Han Qiao and Zhao Huan.
However, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi could tell.
They felt that this lady seemed to be mocking their mother for not being able to give birth to a son…
During dinner, He Hong was surprised to learn that Heng Yi had already bought a house and a shop in the county town.
“Where did you buy them? And How much did it cost?”
“Twelve hundred taels for the house on Tianyi Street,” Heng Yi said honestly.
The couple fell silent.
He Hong had gone to see that house before. It was beautiful, grand, and exquisite, but it was also expensive. He could not afford to buy that house.
He settled for the next best thing and bought his current house for 400 taels.
It was very spacious and bright.
But he was afraid of comparison.
“That’s pretty good. I’ve also gone to see that house. It’s very exquisite. The furniture inside is all made of pear wood.” He Hong praised.
As for whether he was sincere or not, nobody didn’t know.
Zhao Huan did not know where the house was, so she was a little confused.
“Have you bought the shop? What business do you plan to do?” He Hong asked again.
“Yes, we did. Ah-Qiao said she wanted to open a restaurant.” Heng Yi, once again, answered honestly.
At this moment, He Hong’s expression was a little strange.
He turned to look at Han Qiao, “Sister-in-law, do you have any experience in running a restaurant?”
“Oh no!” Han Qiao shook her head, “However, that shop used to be a tavern and I take the previous shopkeeper, chef, and waiters too.”
“The shop is also under management. After reorganizing it, we will choose a good day to open for business.”
Han Qiao had a smile on her face as she said all this. Her eyes were bright, filled with confidence.
Heng Yi picked up some food for her.
He Hong was silent for a moment, “Big Brother Heng, Sister-In-Law, if you need help with anything, just let me know. I know a little about running a restaurant.”
“Alright.” Han Qiao and Heng Yi agreed.
Zhao Huan chuckled softly.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhao Yun walking over with a tray. Her expression suddenly changed.
She stood up, “What are you doing here?”
“Sister, I’m here to bring you some wine.” Zhao Yun said softly.
Then, the newcomer turned her gaze to He Hong, “Brother-in-law…”
Her voice was very seductive.
Han Qiao looked at Zhao Yun.
The sky wasn’t completely dark yet, so she could see Zhao Yun’s appearance clearly.
In her opinion, she was not as good-looking as Zhao Huan, but Zhao Huan did not look well at the moment. Zhao Yun was delicate, and she looked more pleasing to the eye than Zhao Huan.
“Get down.” He Hong said in a deep voice.
“Oh.” Zhao Yun put down the wine and replied unwillingly.
After she left, Han Qiao could still feel He Hong’s awkwardness and Zhao Huan’s hatred.
Han Qiao guessed that He Hong and Zhao Yun had already slept together.
For a moment, she felt disgusted and could not eat this meal.
Zhao Huan might not have had good intentions when she brought her over, but Zhao Yun climbing into her brother-in-law’s bed was also not a good thing.
It just showed that He Hong couldn’t hold his belt…
But all of this had nothing to do with her. She would just keep her distance from now on.
After the meal, they sat down for a while before Han Qiao and Heng Yi said their goodbyes.
He Hong personally walked them to the door.
Han Qiao carefully helped Grandfather and Grandmother onto the carriage, and then let the three children get on.
She walked with Heng Yi.
Bai Cha drove the carriage slowly and followed behind them.
“Can you tell?” Han Qiao asked Heng Yi.
“What?1
“He Hong, his wife, and his sister-in-law..”
