Chapter 173: Fighting on the Street Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The stall owner immediately took out many small items made from various kinds of wood.

Among the few, most were toys and ornaments. They were polished very smoothly and the workmanship was also very good.

The prices were not very expensive. Han Qiao chose a few and asked Han Chi to choose a few more.

“Mother, I don’t like anything else.”

Han Qiao knew what this child was thinking.

“Then I’ll choose a few for you.”

She chose two money bags and a mahogany abacus.

The abacus was exquisitely made and was the perfect size.

Of course, the price for those items would be higher.

Han Chi felt as though he was floating as he walked down the streets with these items in his arms.

Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke had no interest in these wooden things. Instead, they bought some threads dyed by the farmers themselves. The colors were not as bright as those sold by the cloth shop, but the colors were especially beautiful. When embroidered together, they looked like genuine items.

Moreover, this embroidery thread was cheap.

Sun Ke didn’t have much of an impression of these things, but Sun Xiu and Sun Yi already had a sense of aesthetics. They knew what was beautiful and what was not.

Han Qiao never cared about how they spent their pocket money, whether it was to buy food or toys.

She never had to worry too much about the children.

When she saw Sun Yiming, Zhen Niang, and Zhao Huan, Han Qiao’s eyes were calm and did not show a trace of panic.

Sun Yiming stared at her intently.

Han Qiao had changed a lot from the last time he saw her. Her face was fair and delicate, and she was dressed like a wealthy lady. She had a bracelet on her wrist, and earrings on her ears, and styled a neat but exquisite bun for her hair.

Riches and wealth feed people, and so does love.

Compared to when he first saw her when she was about fifteen or sixteen, she was even more radiant and beautiful.

“…” Sun Yiming couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

Zhen Niang glanced at him.

Although she didn’t love Sun Yiming, the poor excuse of a coward, he was still her husband in name. How could he look at another woman so openly and lovingly?

And it was obvious that she had been outdone.

Whether it was her appearance or her bearing, she was inferior to Han Qiao.

Zhen Niang reached out to push Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan smiled and went toward their common enemy. She said to Han Qiao, “Oh what a surprise to see Sister-In-Law…”

“Who are you?” Han Qiao said coldly.

Han Chi stood by her side with a wary expression. Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were originally afraid when they saw Sun Yiming…

But at this moment, they stood firmly by her side.

Shulan and Duan Yue, who had followed them out, also came forward. Dong

Lai and two other servants who were carrying radishes were also there.

In terms of numbers and aura, they completely crushed Zhao Huanniang.

Zhao Huan choked, “Sister-in-law really likes to joke.”

“I never joke, especially with people like you. Besides, when you followed He Hong to the manor, he called Heng Yi his brother and me his sister-in-law. You are He Hong’s wife, so it makes sense for you to call me sister-in-law. But now that you’ve been abandoned, it’s not right for you to call me sister-in-law.”

Zhao Huan’s expression changed.

At first, she looked lost.

But soon, she smiled dryly, “Madam Heng, you’re not blaming me for taking everyone in the restaurant away, are you?”

“It’s also my fault for asking them to move out so casually. They are all people who cherish their old friendship, so they all came to support me instead.”

Han Qiao chuckled, “People say that people strive for the higher ground, and water flows to the lower ground. Since you’re offering a high salary, it’s normal for them to quit their jobs from my side and go to yours. I wish your restaurant a prosperous business and make a lot of money.”

Zhao Huan choked again.

She couldn’t understand Han Qiao’s thoughts anymore.

If she called the people of the restaurant away, what would happen to her restaurant?

“I’m relieved to hear that, Madam Heng. Otherwise, I’d feel so guilty.”

Han Qiao didn’t want to see Zhao Huan’s pretentious attitude.

Previously, she thought that the woman before her was a smart and capable person. Now that she was hanging out with people like Zhen Niang, she was also tainted with Zhen Niang’s tacky qualities.

It easily sours people’s moods.

“You don’t have to be so pretentious. We all know what you’re thinking. 1 won’t believe what you’re saying, so why waste your breath? Moreover, the two restaurants were not far from each other. It’s hard to say who would win. You don’t have to be so smug. Everything depends on effort. Perhaps my restaurant is so good that you can’t open it for three days. When that time comes, don’t come crying in front of me.”

Han Qiao’s few words infuriated Zhao Huan.

“Then let’s wait and see. When the time comes, don’t cry, Madma. Heng,” Zhao Huan covered her mouth and laughed.

Han Qiao smiled coldly.

“Zhao Huan, it’s said that the one who flirts first is cheap. It’s not that I look down on you, but I, Han Qiao, wouldn’t even care if there were three more people like you. You, Zhen Niang, and Sun Yiming are just like three snakes and rats in a nest. You have to manage that restaurant well and let me compete with you.”

“Then we’ll see.” Zhao Huan said in a deep voice.

She accepted Han Qiao’s challenge.

“Ah-Qiao, how did you become like this?” Sun Yiming walked over with a look of disbelief and heartache.

Han Qiao felt disgusted just by looking at him.

“Sun Yiming, it seems that the beating wasn’t enough.” After Han Qiao finished speaking, she squeezed her hands together, making cracking sounds.

She was pregnant, but she could throw in some punches and kicks.

It was easy to deal with Sun Yiming, who could not carry a burden or lift a hand.

However, Han Chi pulled her and said, “Mother, let me do it.”

Han Qiao looked at Han Chi.

After pondering for a moment, she said, “Alright, come and teach him a lesson. Remember not to kill him. It’s okay to cripple him. We have money to treat him.”

“Mother, don’t worry.”

After Han Chi finished speaking, he stuffed the things he bought into Sun Xiu’s arms.

At this time, he still did not know that Sun Yiming was Han Qiao’s ex-husband and the biological father of his three younger sisters.

Then, he kicked Sun Yiming.

Although he was small, he had the strength to fight. His leg was also very strong, and he kicked Sun Yiming over.

Sun Yiming screamed and tried to get up.

Han Chi had already pounced on him.

Sun Yiming thought that since he was just a child, the kid wouldn’t be able to hurt him. However, he was not prepared.

He resisted and wanted to fight Han Chi or teach him a lesson.

But in the end, he only got beaten up the entire time.

Zhao Huan and Zhen Niang screamed. The people they brought along wanted to help, but they were all held down by Dong Lai and the other two servants.

Why should servants get involved in a fight between masters?

Zhen Niang wanted to help, but she stopped after two steps and looked at Han Qiao, “Madam Heng, what are you doing? After all, he is your first husband. You…”

Han Qiao slapped Zhen Niang’s face.

“You think you’re the only one who knows propriety, righteousness, and shame the most? Does that give you the credentials to speak the most? You think you’re too good to be lumped in with your husband?” Han Qiao said in a deep voice.

“Why didn’t you take good care of your own man? Why did you bring him out for a stroll? If you want to walk your dog on the main street, you’re just looking for someone to run over it,”

Zhen Niang covered her face.

She raised her hand to fight back, but a head was pressed against her stomach. She staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground on her butt.

“AH…!”

Zhen Niang screamed..
