Chapter 58, Scheming

  Heng Yi was coaxed by Han Qiao with a few words.

  Han Qiao asked him to eat, don't be hungry.

   "I'm not hungry, I had a snack before." Heng Yi shook his head.

   Now that they have the permission of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, it is justifiable to walk together.

  Heng's family members were feeling uneasy, and they were not slow to set their chopsticks when eating, just like a hungry ghost reincarnated, it was called a storm.

  The children almost fought over a bite of food.

   Even ran to other tables to pick up vegetables.

  It opened the eyes of the Han family and those who drove the carriages and mule carts.

   In-laws like this, don't move around in the future.

  Heng Yi remained silent from beginning to end.

   After lunch, I will go back to Ninghe Town.

  Heng Yi didn't want to leave.

  Father Han finally saw it, so he asked to stay, "Heng Yi, you stay, and I will invite the village head, Li Zheng, to come over later, measure the wasteland, and open up the wasteland first before the autumn harvest season."

   "Yes!" Heng Yi's face remained unchanged, but his heart was full of joy.

  Grandma Heng wanted to say something, but old man Heng told her to get into the carriage quickly.

  I have to go back and think of a countermeasure to ruin this marriage.

otherwise…

  One tael of silver a year, enough to buy something?

  Heng's family has left, and Hu Laosan has to go back to Ninghe Town to help with some follow-up matters, so he will go first.

  He Hong saw Heng Yi's expression relaxed, "Brother Heng, I'm also going back to the county seat, you should have a good rest, I will take care of the tavern affairs."

   "I'm relieved to leave the tavern to you."

  White tea was sent to Hehong back to Puyi County.

  Han Qiao was going to stay and help clean up, but Han Yuan called her to the main room.

  The three brothers, uncles, grandparents, and Heng Yi are all there.

"We are raising the calf, and you will have to pull it at any time in the future. The pork is too hot today, so we can't let it go. We will share it with the family. Your two aunts will also cut a few catties and ask your elder brother to send it over. The rest of the food will be kept. Use it when you get married."

   "The silver of the dowry..."

   "Father, this is Heng Yi's filial piety to you and mother, you just accept it."

   "You don't need to pay for the wasteland when the time comes. Heng Yi and I will pay for it, and I want you, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother to help reclaim the wasteland."

  Han Qiao looked at his uncle again, "Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Uncle Yao and all cousins ​​have to work hard."

  Uncle Yao smiled, "It's all trivial, it's all trivial, you can discuss it, I'll go and see that calf!"

  For people in Arita in the countryside, having a cow is such a joyful thing.

  Uncle Yao was in a hurry to see the cows. Father Han and the others also wanted to build a shed for the cows and mow the grass. There were a lot of things to do.

   "Okay, tell your mother what you want, and let her get it for you."

  All Han Qiao wanted were the Four Seasons clothes and gold and silver bracelets, which Heng Yi had specified for her, and she couldn't possibly not want them.

  After taking the things, Han Qiao wants to go home first.

   Han Xiang stood under the eaves, looking at her with a sullen face.

  Han Qiao smiled at her first.

  Han Xiang didn't trip her up today, she thanked her.

   "Huh!" Han Xiang snorted coldly, and went back to the house with her hands shaken.

  Han Qiao took things, called her three daughters, Heng Yi, and walked slowly home.

  The three children ran fast, deliberately leaving the two behind.

  Han Qiao and Heng Yi looked at each other and laughed.

  Back home, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi boiled water to make tea.

  It’s all Kudingcha that I went to the mountains to pick, and let it cool after brewing. There is no such thirst-quenching herbal tea anymore.

  Han Qiao asked Heng Yi to lie down, and dissolved him a cup of pear ointment water, which was sweet and cleared the lungs and relieved the tiredness.

  Heng Yi has never had such a delicious drink.

   "It's so sweet!"

   "You rest, I'll clean up the chicken coop!"

  There are a dozen or so chickens in the house, and there is a lot of chicken droppings every day. They have to be cleaned up, otherwise they won’t be able to put their feet down.

  Han Qiao cleaned the chicken coop, replaced the chicken with clean water, and moved rice bran to feed the chicken.

   Wash your hands and sit on a chair, thinking about the future?

   "Mother, what are you thinking?" Sun Xiu sat down next to Han Qiao.

   "I'm thinking, when the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, we're going to get some sweet-scented osmanthus to dry and then make sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

   "When the chrysanthemums bloom, you can pick some chrysanthemums and dry them to make tea, or make a chrysanthemum pillow."

  Han Qiao rubbed Sun Xiu's head, "Axiu, it may be very hard in the future!"

   "I'm not afraid of hard work. These days are the happiest, happy, and comfortable days I can remember. Mother, we support all your choices, as long as you are happy."

  Sun Xiu gently leaned on Han Qiao's arms.

  Han Qiao patted her on the shoulder, "Mother will be happy."

   Perhaps as children, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi are very aware of her changes.

  They thought about it a lot, but they never thought that their mother was beaten to death by that scumbag Sun Yiming as early as that day.

   In the evening, I went to Han’s to eat, and after eating, I came back to boil water and take a bath.

  Heng Yi lives with Han Qiao, and no one will say anything.

   Those who pay attention to rules are rich and noble families. They want to be decent, dignified, and famous, and use various rituals to prove their status.

  As for the poor people in the countryside, there are too many people who live together without any ceremony.

  I can't afford to eat, and I can't live on. Where did I put so much thought into it.

  After taking a shower, sit in the yard while cutting the fabric while waiting for the hair to dry.

  Heng Yi didn't talk much, so he helped to arrange the fabric.

  Generally large ones are put together, and when the time comes to make purses, just sew them together.

  Under the afterglow of the setting sun, they all concentrated on their work.

  They are not a family, but more like a family.

  Heng Yi's hands are very rough, and he must be very careful when handling the fabric, otherwise the fabric will be hooked out of the thread.

  Seeing his clumsy work, Han Qiao lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.

  The third child secretly looked at Heng Yi from time to time.

  They didn't say anything, but they were cautiously probing and accepting him as their father.

  Ninghe Town Heng's House

  It is said that the more you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more you lose, and the more you bear with it, the more you think about it, the more angry you become.

  When Mrs. Heng returned home, she kept yelling.

  Thinking of so much money becoming the Han family's, she couldn't swallow it.

   "Ouch, Ouch."

  In addition to the children marveling at how good they ate today and how full they were, they clamored that they would eat like this at night, and that they would go to Han’s house tomorrow.

  The adults all sat together, how much money did Heng Yi hire today?

   "There must be forty or fifty taels!"

   "Where did he get the money?"

   This is what Heng's family cares most about.

   Yes, where did so much money come from?

  According to their thinking, the silver earned by Heng Yi should belong to the Heng family, why should Heng Yi use it for himself?

  He shouldn't have gotten married, and he should have been a cow and a horse for the Heng family for the rest of his life.

  The faces of the brothers were sullen, and the faces of the sisters-in-law were not good.

  Such a big family squeezed into a small courtyard, very aggrieved, and the parents-in-law refused to separate.

  Now that Heng Yi doesn't even return to Ninghe Town, what can he do with one tael of silver a year?

   When Zhenniang knocked on the door with someone, Heng's family all looked at it.

   Quickly ask the child to open the door.

  Sister-in-law Heng greeted her with a forced smile, "It's Zhenniang, why are you here?"
