“They all went out?”
“They didn’t ask me for money.”
“Heng Yi gave them a tael of silver/’ Grandma said with a smile.
Han Qiao was even more surprised.
Heng Yi only had a few taels of silver with him. He didn’t spend a single cent when he went out and came back. To put it bluntly, he didn’t even go to the teahouse to drink tea. He would rather go home and drink when he was thirsty. Han Qiao didn’t expect him to give all his money to the three children.
Han Qiao was surprised, and she wanted to laugh.
“Why do they want to go shopping? Why didn’t they tell me?”
Grandma smiled and said, “The children are all grown up now. They have their own things to buy and their own little secrets. They won’t tell you everything.”
“You’re right, Grandma.”
When Han Qiao learned that the three children had brought a servant girl, an old woman, and a servant boy to drive the carriage, she felt even more at ease.
She focused on chatting with Grandma.
“Madam, your father. Master Han, is here.”
Han Qiao was surprised.
“Please hurry and let them in.”
Grandpa and Grandma had seen their son for some time, and they were looking forward to seeing him.
They waited for Father Han to bring Han Ming over.
Han Qiao stood up first. “Father, Little Brother.”
Father Han nodded and bowed to Grandma and Grandpa. “Father, Mother.”
“G-Grandma.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Grandpa was overjoyed.
His mind had been much clearer recently and he remembered many things. Naturally, he recognized that this man was his son.
Father Han also sized up his father, who looked very healthy, and his mother, who looked much kinder.
For a moment, he had mixed feelings.
He did not enjoy the blessing of a daughter, but his parents enjoyed the filial piety of a granddaughter.
“Father, Mother, how have you been recently?”
“I’m fine. I have some food and drink, and I’m happy every day.” Grandpa smiled.
He looked at Father Han. “It’s such a cold day. Why did you come to the county town?”
“There’s something 1 want to ask you.”
Father Han looked at Han Qiao and asked, “Your sister, All-Xiang, did she come by a few days ago?”
“She did come, but before she could sit down, she asked to borrow five hundred taels of silver. I asked her what she wanted to do with it. She stammered and couldn’t say anything. Zhou Anshan kept his mouth shut and didn’t say a word. 1 rejected them immediately.”
Father Han’s head was buzzing.
He was shocked by the 500 taels demand.
Did that girl eat the guts of a leopard? She wanted to borrow 500 taels.
Even Han Ming was dumbfounded.
He didn’t even dare to borrow fifty taels, let alone 500.
“That’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when she entered the main courtyard that night, she pointed at my nose and said that I wouldn’t be able to give birth to a son in this lifetime and that the Heng family business might benefit someone in rhe future. She even boasted that she had a good belly and had two sons in a row. Unfortunately, Heng Yi heard these words. Heng Yi was very angry, so he kicked the couple out and said that they should not come and visit anymore.”
Father Han and Han Ming were silent.
Grandma said, “You have been spoiling Ah-Xiang. Look at what she’s saying. Is she speaking human language?”
When Han Qiao and Heng Yi got married, who wouldn’t want Han Qiao to give birth to a boy and a girl as soon as possible? Heng Yi was already twenty-four years old, and if he turned twenty-five, even having a girl would be better than nothing.
And Han Qiao was twenty-eight years old. How could she give birth when she was old?
“I didn’t know what happened that day. If 1 had known that she had said those words, I would have taught her a lesson.”
Grandma raised her eyebrows. “Why? Did she go home to complain?”
“Mother, Ah-Xiang didn’t say anything regarding this matter when she got home. I’m also afraid that there might be a misunderstanding, so I quickly came here.” Father Han hurriedly said.
“It’s right that you didn’t listen to her. That child is really disobedient and insensible.”
Han Ming remained silent.
Han Qiao didn’t want to talk about Han Xiang, so she quickly asked, “Little
Brother, are the children doing alright?”
“They’re all good, don’t worry. Third Sister.”
Han Qiao smiled. “It’s good that you can understand. I’ve prepared new year’s clothes for the children. I’ll bring them back when I go to visit. 1 won’t be going back this year.”
“Why?” Han Ming asked in confusion.
Father Han was also puzzled.
Han Qiao touched her belly, “I’m 80 – 90% pregnant. I ll go out after the New
Year when it’s warmer.”
Father Han and Han Ming laughed when they heard that.
“Oh that’s okay, that’s okay. Take good care of yourself.” Father Han was overjoyed.
No matter what, the stone in his heart was finally lifted.
If Han Qiao really couldn’t get pregnant, they would be worried.
No one mentioned Han Xiang’s matter anymore. They surrounded Han Qiao’s stomach and said a few words, then talked about the house repair at home.
Han Ming asked Han Qiao softly, “Sister, can you sell me your house? I’ll pay ten taels of silver for it.”
Han Qiao looked at Han Ming.
Truth be told, she didn’t want to sell that house.
After all, it was her first home in this world.
However, Han Ming had asked for it. The price he offered was quite reasonable, in addition, he had five daughters now, so the pressure on him would be too great.
“If you really want that house, 1 can give it to you. Just one thing. Take good care of the children. That’s my only request.”
Han Ming nodded vigorously.
Father Han heaved a sigh of relief.
The pressure of building one house and two houses was completely different.
Han Qiao was about to leave Father Han and Han Ming to ask the servants to prepare their rooms for the night, but Father Han was in a hurry to get home and Han Ming wanted to leave earlier to quickly move into his new house earlier.
After moving, there would be an empty room in the house.
When the three children came back to see their grandfather and uncle, they gave each of them a purse.
Father Han and Han Ming were overjoyed.
The three children became more tender and their skin was whiter. They also grew taller and looked more outstanding.
When they grew up, they would be beautiful women.
T hen she sent Father Han and Han Ming away.
Grandma advised Han Qiao not to think too much about it…
Han Qiao replied, but she understood why the Host didn’t go home to complain and call for help. Perhaps she knew very well that she might not be able to get help even if she went back…
Han Qiao exhaled lightly.
She was not someone who would go into a dead end.
The wheat sprout that she had sprinkled a few days ago had already sprouted. Together with the sweet potatoes that had been sent over, she decided to make sesame candy.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke came to look for her.
“Mother, we saw Father on the street.” Sun Xiu said.
When she mentioned father, she hesitated for a moment.
Han Qiao instantly understood that her daughter had seen Sun Yiming.
“Did he see you?” Han Qiao asked.
“I don’t know, but we immediately get on the carriage and went straight home.”
Han Qiao was silent.
“Don’t go out for a while.”
After the three children left, she immediately instructed Dong Lai to go out and ask around. Where did that bastard Sun Yiming live in the county? Or was it just a simple round and round?
She also had to keep an eye on Zhao Huan.
Dong Lai didn’t understand what was going on, so he just did as he was told.
Han Qiao had a feeling that Zhao Huan, Zhen Niang, and Sun Yiming might be working together.
What a scumbag and slut.
Han Qiao exhaled.
Soon, Donglai returned and reported, “Madam, Scholar Sun brought his wife to live in the He family, the current Zhao family..”
