Chapter 236: Calm After Seeing Through It

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Han Yuan brought the two children back to Xishan Village.

Father Han, Eldest Brother Han, and the other two brothers sent Han Xiang to Puyi County. Zhou Anshan could only dejectedly follow behind them.

The doctors in the county were indeed better than the doctors in Ninghe Town.

“Her injuries are a little serious.”

“We can’t save the child. I’m afraid she won’t be able to have another child in the future.”

“The external injuries are fine, but the spleen seems to have ruptured.”

“The medicine isn’t cheap, so prepare more silver.”

One meaning stands out clearly to them: Han Xiang can be saved.

Zhou Anshan heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Eldest Brother Han burst his bubble, “Zhou Anshan, sell your carriage first. If you still need money later, sell the house.”

“Yes, yes, yes. 1’11 listen to you, big brother.”

Zhou Anshan had already been beaten twice, and each time was more serious than the last. He also had complaints in his heart.

He was afraid of Han Xiang’s death, but he also hoped that Han Xiang would die.

If she died, he would be able to get rid of the Han family.

But… If she did die, then he would have to go to jail. He might even have to pay for his actions with his life. He shuddered from the fear in his mind.

Han Qiao still heard about Han Xiang’s matter.

She sat by herself for a while after hearing that, but she still did not do anything. She did not let anyone see Han Xiang, nor did she ask Father Han, Eldest Brother Han, and the others how Han Xiang’s injuries were.

She pretended that she didn’t know anything.

Perhaps it was to make herself feel better, or perhaps it was to console herself, Han Qiao donated 500 taels of silver to build five arch bridges in the poor villages.

In short, she had silver but wouldn’t let Han Xiang get a single coin of it.

If she said that she would sever all ties with her and never see her again, she would do it.

She didn’t care whether Han Xiang lived or died.

Or rather, through this incident, she understood better.

The difference between the Han family’s impression of the obedient and filial Han Qiao and the Han Xiang who did all sorts of disgusting things. Han Qiao, who was beaten to death, never saw the Han family’s love for her. The stupid and poisonous I Ian Xiang was their treasure. Would they have felt disgusted if she was brought to the county town to see a doctor when she was still beaten up back then?

One had to know that the Zhou Family Village was closer to other counties, but they had to come to Puyi County.

They were just trying to force her to be soft-hearted. After understanding this, she felt even more relieved.

It also strengthened her determination to move to Chenzhou City during the new year.

Stay far away from the Han family. Out of sight, out of mind.

Walking around during the holidays, she had done her filial piety for the original owner of this body. She had no regrets and was more magnanimous.

The Han family did have such secret thoughts.

Han Xiang’s life was on the line. If Han Qiao was soft-hearted enough to take a look, they could also resolve the conflict between the two sisters.

However, Han Qiao pretended not to know and did not care at all, which made the Han family feel disappointed.

She was really cruel and hard-hearted.

When Han Qiao told Heng Yi about this, she said, “They plotted against me first. If they cared about me, they wouldn’t have sent me to Puyi County. Why should I compromise? 1 won’t let them have their way.”

“Whether they hate me or resent me, it’s up to them.”

“I don’t care.”

She really didn’t care.

Their life and upbringing had nothing to do with her. Her soul was free.

However, Heng Yi’s eyes watered.

This was extreme bias.

When Han Qiao was abused by Sun Yiming in the Sun family, the Han family did not show any reaction. They were all blind and deaf to her sufferings. Now that Han Xiang had encountered the same situation, they all went out to take care of her.

Heng Yi had his own thoughts.

“Let’s move to Chenzhou City earlier.” Heng Yi said.

“Yes.”

Heng Yi then thought of sending a letter to Bai Cha, telling him to build the houses faster.

However, Bai Cha returned on his own and even brought a painter with him.

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law.”

This artist drew the characters extremely well and vividly.

Han Qiao’s interest was immediately piqued, “Hurry and call the children over. Let’s have our portrait drawn.”

It was not cheap to invite him for a trip like this. It cost 200 taels of silver.

The whole family sat in the same place.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi were sitting on the chair with their hands in each other’s hands. He Cheng and Sun Ke sat in front of them. Sun Xiu and Sun Yi sat next to Han Qiao, while Han Chi and Bai Cha sat next to Heng Yi.

The artist looked at their clothes for a while and prepared the paint beforehand.

Then, he started painting.

After about two hours, the painting was done.

The whole family let out a sigh of relief and couldn’t wait to take a look.

“Aiya, 1 think so.”

It wasn’t very similar as they were, but at least the painter captured 70 – 80% of their likeness. Most importantly, the charm was particularly vivid.

“The painting really looks like us.”

This silver was well spent.

The more the children looked at it, the more they liked it, and they pestered the artist to draw another one for them.

Han Qiao smiled and called the other children over, “Sir, please help them draw one too. I’ll give you the extra money.”

The Painter gave Han Qiao a deep look.

These children were obviously servants in the residence.

He had come this time because he had heard that the wife of the Heng family in Puyi County was a kind person who built bridges and roads in various villages to benefit the people.

It just so happened that Bai Cha came to invite him, so he was willing to make a trip.

He did not expect Han Qiao to treat these servants so well.

“Very well.”

The children were instantly overjoyed.

After all, they didn’t dare to ask for this kind of joy that only belonged to their master, but Madam had given them a surprise.

It was a huge surprise.

For a time, the Heng Manor was extremely lively.

Bai Cha did not come back just for the painter.

There was another important matter that needed to be discussed.

“This was found in the house.”

It happened to be raining heavily during those two days, so he didn’t do any work. He only went to take a look when he was free and found this well-sealed brocade box. When he opened it, he saw that it was made of jade and a martial arts secret manual was in the compartment.

“This might be the reason why that family was brutally exterminated.”

If it was any other thing, Bai Cha would have given it to other people, but he was still tempted by this martial arts manual.

So, he had secretly hidden it and brought it back home.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi looked at the manual.

This item had once caused a massacre, so the mastermind must still be watching.

“Put it away. We can’t learn this for the time being.” Heng Yi said.

Bai Cha nodded.

“I’m thinking of building a tunnel at the mansion, then building a bigger cellar and separating it out to be a training room. What do you think, Sister-in-law?” “Alright, let’s make them openly. There’s no need to hide it. We started off as a food seller, so it’s understandable that we want to build a big cellar.”

Of course, the cellar was also a cover.

The most important thing was to set up a place to cultivate their martial arts.

Or put some valuable items.

The artist had to stay at home for a few more days to draw the children’s portraits and also guide the children on their painting skills.

Han Qiao did not send anyone to pick up her grandparents this time.

She did not go to Xishan Village to talk about the painter.

Bai Cha did not stay at home for a few days. After the artist left, Bai Cha followed him to Chenzhou City.

He was in charge of the repair of the residence.

Since they had to move over earlier, they couldn’t slow down.

After the construction was completed, he still needed to buy furniture.

Heng Yi’s fast food restaurant in Ninghe Town also opened on the first day of August.

Han Qiao and the others set off for Ninghe Town on the 30th day of the month.

The new house over there had already been tidied up and was just waiting for the owner to move in.

The neighbors in the alley were already staring at them, wanting to see how much the couple had changed..
