Chapter 76: Heng Yi Is Rich
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao was amused by Heng Congshan’s excitement when he left and his respect for her.
After sending off the guests, Heng Yi told Han Qiao to go back to her room and lie down.
“Actually, many people don’t even have a small confinement period!”
Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao and sat on the wooden bench beside the bed. “I don’t care about others, but you are my wife. I can control you!”
Han Qiao was stunned for a moment before she laughed.
“What you said makes sense.”
Only then did she discuss the marriage with him.
“I don’t have many dowry items at home, and I don’t have much valuable stuff. I don’t have much furniture, either. I think there’s only one room in the Heng family, and there’s not much space for things. I’ll just move a bed, a wardrobe, a chest, a long table, two stools, and a pail for my grandchildren. Oh, and I’ll also need a wooden shelf. Otherwise, I won’t be able to put a washbasin or a footbath.”
Han Qiao asked Heng Yi, “Can your room fit all these things?”
“Yes!” Heng Yi nodded.
His room wasn’t big, but Brother Dalang had asked him about the size of the room before he made the furniture.
Therefore, there wouldn’t be too many furniture items. In short, it would definitely be able to fit.
“That’s good.”
The furniture would be sent over on the second day of September, and the sisters-in-law and aunties of the Han family would set up and make the bed. “Are you nervous?” Han Qiao asked Heng Yi.
“Yes!”
Heng Yi nodded.
It was his first time getting married, so he was indeed very nervous.
“I’m nervous too!” Han Qiao said seriously.
Heng Yi was surprised and looked at Han Qiao in confusion.
“I’m a human too. I’m definitely nervous, nervous, and full of anticipation when I’m about to step into a new life.”
He held Heng Yi’s hand. “I look forward to the days to come.”
“Because of you, the Heng family doesn’t seem to have anything to fear.”
Han Qiao wasn’t afraid of the Heng family.
But Heng Yi was afraid. He held Han Qiao’s hand tightly. “Don’t be afraid of them. If they bully you, just hit them back and scold them back. If you can’t win, you still have me.”
Han Qiao laughed.
“If we really fight, I can beat your sisters-in-law together!”
She had not learned her martial arts for nothing.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of September.
The Han family was already busy. Everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared.
The furniture was also sent over. In this day and age, paint was expensive, so it was not painted. It was only painted with a layer of tung oil, which looked very bright.
Heng Yi had already returned to Ninghe Town, and Han Qiao had also started packing up.
She was going to stay in Ninghe Town for two nights. In this weather, she didn’t need to bring a thick blanket or clothes for the four seasons. She only needed to bring two sets of clothes and toiletries.
Two days ago, Heng Congshan had sent someone to deliver five thousand taels of silver. With these few thousand taels of silver, Han Qiao was very confident and full of hope for the future.
Father Han came back from outside, sweating profusely.
Mrs. Han poured him a bowl of herbal tea.
This was something he learned from Han Qiao. Han Qiao liked to brew a pot of tea. When she returned home, she would not casually scoop a ladle of cold water. Instead, she would pour a bowl of herbal tea to quench her thirst.
Father Han drank his tea and asked Han Yuanshi, “Did Ah Qiao tell you how much silver she has now?”
Han Yuanshi was stunned for a moment before she replied, “No!”
Han Qiao wouldn’t tell her how much money she had now, so she kept it a secret.
He didn’t want to be close to her anymore. He gave her a silver bracelet, but he didn’t even give her one.
He really doted on his daughter for nothing.
“What’s wrong?” Han Yuan’s husband.
“I heard that the restaurant in Heng Yi County City has made a lot of money in the past few years. In total, it’s more than a thousand taels of silver. He even sold ginseng and hunted a tiger. I was wondering if he gave her the money?”
Han Yuanshi was stunned on the chair.
“How, how much?” She was trembling as she spoke.
A thousand taels of silver, how many mansions would that require? How much land?
“Go and ask Ah Qiao if she has managed the deeds to the manor and land that Heng Yi bought near Puyi County.”
Han Yuanshi nodded.
She walked towards Han Qiao’s house without caring about anything else.
Her mind was in a daze the entire way.
Manor? A thousand silver taels?
She then thought of Han Qiao’s wardrobe and chest that were full of cloth. She swallowed and walked faster.
When she arrived at Han Qiao’s house, her uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law were all chatting at Han Qiao’s house.
Grandma sat on the chair and fanned herself. The silver bracelet on her wrist was dazzling, making everyone envious.
“Sister-in-law is here.”
“Sister-in-law is here.”
Now, Mrs. Han was the most respected among her sisters-in-law and treated her more warmly.
Han Yuanshi nodded with a smile. She called out to the people first, then said to Han Qiao, “Your father wants me to ask you something. Let’s talk inside.” “Alright!”
Han Qiao stood up.
After entering the house, she saw Han Yuanshi carefully closing the door.
Han Qiao frowned.
“Mother, what is it? Why are you being so mysterious?”
Han Yuanshi approached Han Qiao and whispered, “I heard that Heng Yi bought a manor near Puyi County. Is that true?”
“It’s true!” Han Qiao nodded.
“What about the deed to the house and the land? Do you want me to keep it for you?”
“You gave it to me long ago!”
For a moment, Mrs. Han felt her heart burning.
She asked softly, “He opened a restaurant in the county town. I heard that he got more than a thousand taels of silver this time. Did he give it to you?”
“I also gave it to him!” Han Qiao answered straightforwardly.
Han Yuanshi was so excited that she kept shouting, “He, he gave it all to you?”
“I gave you more than a thousand taels?”
“I did, but I also used some.”
The most she used was to buy bath beans, soap, shampoo, and brushing powder. These things were very expensive, but she felt very comfortable and useful after using them.
Heng Yi didn’t care how much money she spent on anything, and even asked her if she wanted to try other kinds of fragrant bath beans and soap.
“So many…” Han Yuanshi said dryly.
Han Qiao raised her eyebrows. “Mother, why are you asking about this? Where did father know?”
No matter where he got it from, it was impossible to rob the rich from her to help the poor.
“I came here in a hurry and didn’t have the time to ask your father.”
Han Qiao nodded.
“Mother, go back and ask Father, where did you find out about this? I don’t think this is a simple matter.”
To know so much about Heng Yi, it must be White Tea, He Hong, or Third Brother Hu.
There was also Zhao Huanniang.
White Tea was very tight-lipped. Third Brother Hu looked like a jovial person, but he was actually very reliable and scheming. It was usually impossible to get information from him.
He Hong was not a bad person. He was not the kind of person who would spread rumors everywhere.
Then there was only one person, Zhao Huanniang.
It might not be Zhao Huanniang, but Zhen Niang.
Zhen Niang had feelings for Heng Yi, but if she could separate them, she would do anything.
Therefore, the two women were the most suspicious.
“Ah, is it that serious?”
“It’s not that serious. Heng Yi has money. I’m afraid his parents will cling onto him. It’ll only cause more conflicts..”
