Huh. A scumbag and a bitch.
“They’re quite compatible,” Han Qiao said gently.
Madam Wu didn’t say much about this, “People from the Sun family have also come. The two brothers seem to have reconciled.”
“It looks like they are planning something. You have to be careful.”
Madam Wu came to Han Qiao’s house by a mule cart, so she couldn’t stay for long.
Before she left, Han Qiao gave her the new address.
“If you don’t have a place to stay in the county, you can come to me first.”
“Alright.”
Madam Wu was extremely grateful.
However, she thought that unless she had no other choice, she would not look for Han Qiao.
They finished packing the day before the big move.
They set off from Xishan Village on the morning of the 15th and arrived at the county town just in time.
There was a plaque hanging on the door of the house.
Heng Manor.
Han Qiao laughed.
They didn’t invite the Heng family or the Han family to move in with them.
It was so that the Heng Family wouldn’t have a chance to talk back.
“This s-servant… This servant greets the three young ladies.”
Han Qiao and Heng Yi looked at each other and smiled.
She told them not to be so polite.
It seemed the new servants had performed and kept the house well in the days they were preparing for the move.
It was clean and spotless.
The courtyard was big, the room was spacious and bright. Everything was going smoothly.
Grandpa and Grandma looked at their house and were overjoyed.
Heng Yi took Han Qiao’s hand and went to the main house.
He was bold enough to hug Han Qiao and kiss her.
Han Qiao paused for a moment, then responded to Heng Yi.
The two of them kissed each other.
After a long time, Heng Yi said, “Tonight…”
“Yes, sure.”
Han Qiao knew what he wanted to do.
After all, she had been busy these days and had not had sex.
Heng Yi smiled and hugged Han Qiao tightly. “Ah-Qiao, you’re so good to me.”
“Okay, one more kiss then.”
The two of them kissed for a while more before getting up to tidy up their clothes.
She had moved to a new house, and her status had changed. The material of her clothes was also much better than before.
Heng Yi looked fairer and more handsome too.
The more Han Qiao looked at him, the more she liked him. When she left the house, she even kissed him.
Looking at the love in his eyes, she smiled and left first.
Heng Yi followed behind her with pursed lips.
Han Qiao had never seen such an obedient man.
It was really rare.
The whole family sat together for lunch. The county town had more food to eat than the countryside, so their meal was more lavish.
“Grandpa, let me toast to you.” Heng Yi held his wine cup.
“Alright, alright,” Grandpa happily raised his glass.
Grandpa’s wine was fruit wine, which doesn’t have any strong fragrance.
But for him, drinking fruit wine was good enough.
Grandpa also liked the taste; sweet and sour.
But Grandpa also understood his limits. He could only drink one cup at a time. He could only eat one meal a day. He did not dare to drink in large mouthfuls and only took small sips.
Grandpa and the grandson-in-law clinked their glasses.
Heng Yi also wanted to give his respects to Grandma.
Grandma smiled and clinked glasses with Heng Yi.
Han Qiao also toasted her glass with her Grandfather and Grandmother.
The three children had orange juice. Han Qiao had taught them how to squeeze the oranges themselves. It was also a happy experience for the children to have a glass of orange juice when they ate.
She really doted on them.
The three children followed suit and toasted to their great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and Lady Lin.
They had already kowtowed to their master and accepted Lady Lin as their master.
Not only did she teach them embroidery skills, but she also taught them how to read and write.
While they were still eating, they suddenly heard Old Woman Heng’s loud voice come from the door.
“Son, son, open the door. Father and Mother are here.”
Behind her, Old Man Heng, First, Second, and Third Brother Heng were also there.
They had set off from Ninghe Town before the sun had risen. They were tired and thirsty after rushing all the way to visit them.
The gatekeeper didn’t recognize them and didn’t dare to open the door.
The servant immediately ran to Han Qiao and Heng Yi.
Heng Yi’s face darkened.
Han Qiao put down her chopsticks.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Lady Lin, you all eat slowly. Heng Yi and I will go take a look.”
On the way to the front yard, Heng Yi’s face only darkened as he clenched his fists.
Han Qiao, on the other hand, was very calm. She held his hand and said, “From the moment we decided to move to the county town, this day would come. Don’t worry, I have my ways.”
“If they obediently leave after a meal, I’m still willing to deal with them. If they refuse, I’m not afraid of them.”
“I hate them.” Heng Yi said softly.
“I know. It’ll be over soon.”
When Han Qiao and Heng Yi arrived at the entrance, a crowd of people was already anticipating the show.
The Heng family’s appearance was very repulsive.
All of them were dressed in rags. Compared to her decent appearance, they looked like beggars.
She went up politely and energetically. “Father, Mother, you’re here.”
“Didn’t you send a letter to tell us that you’re not coming?”
“Please come in.”
Han Qiao wanted to support Old Woman Heng, but Old Woman Heng backed away a little and started crying.” It’s our hard life. We raised our son, but once he was married, he forgot his mother.”
The smile on Han Qiao’s face instantly disappeared.
This was shameless.
She wanted to use moral manipulation to threaten her.
In their dreams.
Han Qiao took a deep breath and shouted, “This is unfair. Mother, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
“There are quite a few people here today. Let’s find a few people to judge the truth.”
Han Qiao’s voice was firm and fierce.
She had to speak clearly and innocently for the people.
“You said that Heng Yi forgot his mother after he got a wife, but why didn’t you say that he only got a wife this year when he was twenty-four?”
“Don’t speak. Let me finish first.”
“Everyone, please come and judge.”
“Heng Yi isn’t her biological child. He was picked up by his uncle and she raised him for a few years.”
“She doesn’t feed Heng Yi, doesn’t give him clothes, makes him work at such a young age, oppresses him every day, doesn’t allow him to speak, and doesn’t allow—”
“No, no.” Old Woman Heng hurriedly denied.
“Quiet. Let me finish first, then you can speak.” Han Qiao was even fiercer than Old Woman Heng.
“Fifth’s Wife!” Old Man Heng said in a deep voice.
“You should keep your mouth shut too. You’re the most sinister, vicious, and disgusting person in this family.”
Han Qiao was about to shed all pretense of cordiality.
“You!” Old Man Heng’s face turned red with anger.
“This family is full of blood-sucking leeches. When they were young, Heng Yi worked for them. Later, Heng Yi found a master to learn how to hunt and earn money. They didn’t leave a single cent for Heng Yi. The whole family relied on Heng Yi to earn money from hunting and moved from the countryside to town. Heng Yi was not allowed to visit his master.”
“Every time Heng Yi went, they went to make a scene.”
“I, I didn’t.” Old Woman Heng was frantic to explain.
She had thought a lot about their scheme on the way here, and had discussed it with Old Man Heng for a long time.
How were they going to deal with Han Qiao and Heng Yi?
However, never in their wildest imagination did they think Han Qiao would be so eloquent.
“You did. These things are no secret in Ninghe Town. If anyone wants to know the truth, you can go and ask around.”
“Heng Yi is already twenty-four years old this year. He was engaged twice before, but they secretly ruined his marriage and kept him single until now.”
“Most importantly, his eldest and second brother pushed their own brother off a cliff for fifty taels of silver.. Do you think they would treat Heng Yi, their adoptive brother, well?”
