Chapter 211: Resign

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Tran station

Heng Yi thought about Han Qiao’s question earnestly.

“If I go to Chenzhou, you go too.”

“Yes. I’m about three months pregnant now, as long as I’m careful everything should be fine. However, 1 think it’s better for you not to go to Chenzhou for the time being.11

“If you’re promoted too quickly, you’ll attract jealousy. Moreover, you don’t know much now. It’ll be easy for people to gossip over there.”

“This will be a disadvantage for you. Also, you can’t take sides. If you move now, you’ll be taking sides. Whether it’s in the open or the dark, you’re still a member of the Feng family, a member of the Gong Prince.”

Han Qiao hesitated for a moment before malting a bold decision, “Heng Yi, why don’t you resign from your position and focus on studying and practicing martial arts at home? After a year, we can go to Chenzhou or the capital to participate in the martial arts examination and become the emperor’s people.’’

Observing the Prince’s plans now… He probably had traitorous intentions.

Heng Yi had to get out of this mess.

“Resign?” Heng Yi asked.

“Yes. You can just tell them that my health isn’t good. Let’s go live in the manor on the mountain for a while. J failing’s martial arts are superb, so see if you can learn from her.”

“Heng Yi, just because you’re gifted in martial arts doesn’t mean you could learn everything all at once. You’ll be too busy with work in the government office to prepare for the exam. Why don’t you use the time off to focus on studying at home and practicing martial arts? Since we have money now, let’s work hard together. In a year, you will memorize all the words. As for the meaning behind them, we’re not in a hurry to explore them for the time being. Let’s familiarize ourselves with the new characters first and then explore them. During this time, I could also open a few restaurants in the nearby county towns. We could also go to Chenzhou to take a look. After all, it’s better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books,”

“We re not just going to do business, we’re also going to set up a plan, arrange a backup plan for us, and train our people.11

“We can’t achieve anything big in a year, but we can build a good foundation.”

“This is called planning.”

Every choice would have sacrifices and gains.

Heng Yi would have to give up his official position in the government office in order to qualify for a higher position. But to do that, he had to enrich himself with more experience.

He would need both virtue and ability to convince the masses.

Martial arts skills alone would not be enough.

He would also need more connections and thus more money.

“Yes,11

The husband and wife continued to discuss.

The next day, Heng Yi went to the government office and resigned from the county magistrate.

County Magistrate Wu was dumbfounded.

’Tin not qualified to be the chief. After thinking about it, 1 decided to go home and study, then find a master to teach me martial arts,”

Heng Yi had already made up his mind to leave, so Magistrate Wu didn’t even dare to take out the official letter.

He had received the letter for a few days now, but he hadn’t given it to Heng Yi. If this matter got out, he might not even be able to keep his official position.

“Heng Yi, think about it carefully.”

“I’ve already considered it carefully. Sir, I’m not good at literature or martial arts, and 1 often doubt myself. So, after 1 resign, I decided to study hard and practice martial arts. Please grant my wish.”‘

County Magistrate Wu looked at Heng Yi.

In fact, he couldn’t see through or understand Heng Yi’s decision.

He said that he was not good at literature and martial arts, but that was not the case.

He wasn’t very literate, which was true, but in terms of martial arts, there weren’t many people in Puyi County who were stronger than him.

“Since you’ve already decided, I won’t force you to stay,” County Magistrate Wu said as he stamped Heng Yi’s resignation letter.

From this moment on, he was no longer a member of the government office.

“Thank you for your help, sir, ”

Heng Yi cupped his fists and bowed. He felt relaxed after leaving the room.

In the following days, he had more time to spend with his pregnant wife.

He wasn’t a woman, so he didn’t know how hard it was to be pregnant. But when he was in the Heng family, he had seen his sisters-in-law who were pregnant. He heard them cry out in pain when they gave birth.

The sounds were miserable.

He didn’t want Han Qiao to suffer like that, but he also wanted a child with his own blood.

He was very conflicted.

Most of the time, he didn’t want to work, but he was afraid that Air-Qiao would be disappointed if he didn’t go. After all, it wasn’t easy to get a spot in the government office.

But since Ah-Qiao was the one who suggested it to him, he didn’t show it on the surface, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu both came over to him, “Heng Yi, I heard that you’ve resigned?”

“Yes, I’ve resigned,” Heng Yi didn’t hide the fact.

“I want to go home and study, learn how to read, and then learn from a master,”

Many people envied Heng Yi.

After all, there were very few people who had the courage to resign, especially when he was clearly about to be promoted soon.

Some people thought he was stupid.

Heng Yi looked at Wen Yu and Gu Jiu, “The promise we made will come to fruition in the future,”

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu were overjoyed when they heard this.

They watched Heng Yi walk out of the government office.

Then the two of them looked at each other and ran out together, “Heng Yi!”

“?” Heng Yi turned around and looked at them.

“Do you need a carriage driver now? Do you think we have the chance to work for you?”

“Two taels of silver a month, three meals a day, and clothes for the four seasons. If I go to study, you can come with me. Even if my teacher doesn’t accept you, 1 can teach you in private. Is that alright?” Heng Yi asked.

“Deal.”

“Deal.”

Wen Yu and Gu Jiu responded in unison.

The two of them did not even discuss this with their families before turning around to look for County Magistrate Wu to resign.

They were no longer officials in the government office.

County Magistrate Wu looked at the two of them in surprise.

However, he also felt that the two of them had great foresight and some guts to make the decision.

“Alright,”

With two more officers gone, there were open positions.

Naturally, there were people who were willing to spend money to force their own family members into the office, which would give them more opportunities to earn money.

Everything was good for all parties involved.

Heng Yi was waiting for Wen Yu and Gu Jiu at the entrance.

He was a little surprised to see the two of them come out in high spirits.

Wen Yu smiled and cupped his fists at Heng Yi, “Please give me some food in the future, Master Heng.”

Heng Yi felt a bit uncomfortable with the new title.

Wen Yu patted his shoulder, “We should start calling you that sooner or

later. Don’t be surprised.11

“That’s right. Since we’ve eaten your family’s food, we ll have to change the way we address you. Well be your attendants, servants, and errand boys from now on.”

Heng Yi pursed his lips.

“I won’t let you down.”

Thousands of things were said in this one sentence.

This was the start of the Heng Yi’s family army.

When Heng Yi returned home, he told Han Qiao that he had resigned and had two more followers.

Wen Yu, Gu Jiu.

Han Qiao smiled, “They have good taste. They were brave to bet their future on you,11

Heng Yi held Han Qiao’s hand, “I’ll accompany you more in the future.”

“You’re not accompanying me to play around. You’re going to accompany me to study and practice martial arts.”

“You have a lot of things to do,” Han Qiao smiled gently.

Heng Yi’s resignation still caused a commotion and discussion in Puyi County.

Many people were extremely surprised.

To resign for no reason… There must be something wrong with his brain.

When the Han family found out, Qiao Yi Fast Food Restaurant had put up a sign saying that Qiao Yi East Food Restaurant wanted to hire a manager.

The news was like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of oil. Not only the shopkeepers in Puyi County who knew how to check accounts came for the job, even those from other counties who had some ability came to apply.

One had to know that ten days of distribution would earn him a dozen taels of silver as a bonus. In a month, they could earn thirty to forty taels of silver, which was more than what he earned by opening their own restaurant.

Since Han Qiao was going to choose a shopkeeper, she had to choose carefully.

Because she didn’t just have to choose one, but several.

She planned to open a fast-food restaurant in all the counties in Chenzhou..
