How dare she say something like that.
What did she mean by licking?
Shouldn’t p be filial to their parents when they are capable?
Why did Han Xiang talk to her so harshly?
Han Xiang was panicking.
After the confrontation, she hid in her room and did not dare to come out.
Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Madam Mu were all silent in the kitchen. Each of them had their own thoughts and schemes.
Meanwhile, in Puyi County, Heng Yi woke up very early in the morning because the weather was good today. After practicing a few sets of martial arts in the yard, he went back to his room to clean himself up. Han Qiao was still sleeping when he came out after changing his clothes.
He put his hand outside the blanket, then walked up to her and carefully put her under the blanket. He couldn’t help but rub her head.
Only then did he quietly leave the house and go to the dining room to eat breakfast.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke seemed to be waiting for Heng Yi today.
Heng Yi thought that they were going to give him a purse again, so he looked forward to it.
“Father,” Sun Xiu called out softly.
“Hmm?”
Heng Yi looked at Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu’s face turned red. After a while, she said, “Father, we want to go out and buy something.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Heng Yi was afraid that they didn’t have money.
He even took out a tael of silver from his purse and gave it to them.
“Let Dong Lai drive the carriage to send you there. Bring a servant girl and an old woman. Be careful on the road and watch over Ah-Ke.”
“Thank you, Father.” Sun Xiu took the silver.
She then guides Sun Yi and Sun Ke out of the dining room.
The two sisters really couldn’t understand why their father looked at them with disapproval and disappointment that day.
Currently, their father was very good to them.
He didn’t beat or scold them, he even gave them money.
Almost all their requests were granted.
Compared to their biological father, they were closer to Heng Yi than their biological father.
“I don’t understand,” Sun Xiu said.
Sun Yi was silent.
She couldn’t understand it either.
Not to mention the little Sun Ke.
Heng Yi ate breakfast at home and walked to the government office.
He met Wen Yu halfway.
“Heng Yi.”
“Big Brother Wen.”
With the help from the two of them, and the fact that he had saved his life, Wen Yu had gained a lot from the hunt yesterday, so he was more or less devoted to Heng Yi now.
“Heng Yi, how do you plan to deal with the three badgers you hunted yesterday?”
“I’ll sell it first and ask for everyone’s opinion.”
“Even if you don’t give us a penny, it’s still reasonable.” As Wen Yu spoke, he paused slightly. “Let me put it this way. What if you don’t give us anything? Everyone won’t say it, but they’ll feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts. But if you take it out and ask for everyone’s opinion, everyone will ask for more. Everyone will be able to give face and be happy in their hearts. They won’t cause trouble for you.”
Heng Yi remained silent.
He actually didn’t mind splitting it equally.
Hearing Wen Yu says this, he understood that it was his business whether he minded or not, but he had to show his attitude.
Along the way, he met other exceptionally polite and enthusiastic people.
Heng Yi could feel the sincerity radiating from them.
When they arrived at the office, Heng Yi said, “1 haven’t sold the three badgers yet. We’ll split the money after we sell them.”
“No, no, no, you can’t.”
“That’s right. This was originally all your credit. How could we dare to split it equally?”
“Boss, say something.”
Constable Qin hesitated for a moment before saying, “Heng Yi, no matter how much the three badgers are worth, you can just give us two taels each. What do you think?”
Two taels was not a small amount.
But to Heng Yi, he knew that badgers were valuable, not to mention he had three of them.
“Two taels is too little. Five taels.” Heng Yi said.
Everyone was stunned.
Constable Qin was also surprised. He patted Heng Yi’s shoulder and said,
“You’re so kind. Alright, you’ll give you five taels.”
With these five taels of silver, he could pay off his debts. There were only ten days left until the new year, and he could also buy new year goods.
In the end, he was still poor, so he was not confident enough and his backbone was not strong enough to carry his household.
Life had to be lived. Dignity and face were nothing compared to a poor family.
Just as Han Qiao had guessed, Constable Wang soon came to find Heng Yi. Constable Wang looked to be in his thirties. He was small and a little round, and his eyes were even smaller. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits.
“Heng Yi.”
“…” Heng Yi looked at Constable Wang and thought for a moment. “Constable Wang?”
“Aiya, it’s me, it’s me.” Constable Wang smiled. “Heng Yi, I heard that you brought Old Qin and the others to hunt in the mountains. You got quite a lot. “Can you bring our team into the mountains too? We don’t want too much. We just need to get some wild game for a meal.”
Constable Wang scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Sure, but I can’t guarantee that the harvest will be good. I can only say that I won’t let everyone make a wasted trip.”
“Understood. As long as we can follow you into the mountains.” Constable Wang hurriedly said.
After saying a few more words to Heng Yi, he left first, thinking that he was busy.
After sending Constable Wang off, Heng Yi went to talk to Constable Qin about this.
Constable Qin pondered for a moment and said, “We’re all colleagues. It’s not easy for everyone. You should take them into the mountains one day.”
Who would have it easy if they had a family to feed?
How many people could be as powerful and wealthy as Heng Yi?
Heng Yi nodded.
In his heart, he admired Han Qiao’s divine foresight.
What surprised Heng Yi even more was that when he wanted to bring Constable Wang and his team into the mountain, no one was unwilling. Wen Yu and the others even said that he could go and they would take over his job.
Then, the interrogation result from the prison cell also came out. Those three people were Mountain Bandits.
County Magistrate Wu was shocked and immediately sent an emergency report to the Zhizhou.
If the Mountain Bandits’ nest was destroyed, then everyone would have contributed.
Since Heng Yi had contributed to the case, he would definitely be rewarded.
Whether the reward was money or fame, it was a good thing for these constables.
People were in high spirits when they had good news. Constable Qin and his team smiled at everyone they saw.
Even Heng Yi’s name had spread throughout the government office.
Especially after Wen Yu’s bragging, they all knew that Heng Yi was strong and had good martial arts skills.
Constable Wang and his team were all envious.
Some people wondered why Constable Wang didn’t take Heng Yi to their team.
Constable Wang stomped his feet. “Am 1 the one who doesn’t want to snatch him? Our team already has eight people, nine including me. How can 1 snatch him?”
This sentence made the people below speechless.
Fortunately, Heng Yi promised to bring them into the mountain some other day. They would be satisfied if they could hunt some wild animals for a good New Year.
Back in the Heng Mansion, Han Qiao slept for an extra two hours today. When she woke up in the morning, she was full of energy.
“And you are?”
“This servant Xia He greets madam. Is madam getting up?”
“I am.”
Compared to Shulan, Xia He was more nimble. Her combing skills were especially good, and she soon combed Han Qiao’s hair into an exquisite bun.
She even had a hairpin.
“Madam is so beautiful, you should dress up more often.”
“Yes.” Han Qiao nodded.
Women make faces for those who like them.
Not only for others to see, but also for themselves to appreciate.
“How’s the weather today?” Han Qiao asked.
“The sun is out, but it’s still very cold. If Madam wants to go out, you have to wear more clothes.”
Han Qiao nodded. It was still cold outside, but she could still accept it.
She had planned to visit the three children, but she found out that they had gone out shopping..
