Chapter 48:1 Want to Go to the Han Family to Propose a Marriage

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Heng Yi returned to the Heng family in town.

He didn’t expect Mother Zhen to have dinner at the Heng family as if she was a member of the Heng family.

“It’s Fifth Brother who’s back.” Old Woman Heng immediately came forward.

“Heng Yi.” Mother Zhen called out gently.

She looked at Heng Yi with her soft and charming eyes.

“I came back to tell you that I’m going to marry Han Qiao from West Mountain Village. I’m going to get engaged on the second day of August. If you still acknowledge me as your son, we’ll take a carriage to get engaged on the second day of August at the town gate. If you don’t acknowledge me as your son, you can go or not.”

Old Woman Heng was stunned.

…..

Han Qiao from West Mountain Village?

Isn’t that, isn’t that Sun Yiming’s ex-wife?

Mother Zhen’s eyes reddened, and tears fell. “Heng Yi, are you trying to make me angry? Do you really not remember who I am?”

Heng Yi ignored Mother Zhen.

He said to Old Woman Heng and the others, “You don’t have to prepare anything. I’ll arrange it myself.”

Heng Yi turned and left.

Old Woman Heng screamed and kept asking, “Did you hear me clearly? Did I hear that right?”

She couldn’t believe it. Who did Heng Yi want to marry?

“Mother, it’s Han Qiao from the Han Corporation next door. She’s Sun Yiming’s ex-wife from West Mountain Village, and she has three daughters!” Big Sister-in-law Heng said in disbelief.

This was simply too magical.

“What a sin, what a sin.” Old Woman Heng screamed.

He didn’t want a virgin, nor did he want a beautiful, gentle, and rich Mother Zhen. He actually wanted to marry Han Qiao, who couldn’t give birth to a son in Xishan Village.

Mother Zhen had yet to figure out what was going on. She asked patiently, “Who exactly is the Han Corporation? ”

Heng sister-in-law immediately explained to Mother Zhen.

Mother Zhen’s expression turned uglier the more she listened.

She clenched her handkerchief tightly, wishing she could go to the West Mountain Village and see what the vixen who had made Heng Yi dizzy looked like.

“I, I’ll go back first.” After Mother Zhen finished speaking, she hurried home.

She was now living next door to the Heng family.

There were also maids, old women, and manservants waiting on them at home. They came to the Heng family to eat because they were waiting for Heng Yi.

Heng Yi had returned, but she hadn’t expected him to bring back such heart-shattering news.

She wouldn’t, wouldn’t let Heng Yi marry someone else.

After Heng Yi left the Heng family, he went straight to the Broker’s Shop to find Old Third Hu and ask for a hundred taels of silver.

Third Brother Hu saw that he was both happy and angry. He could not help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m going to propose marriage on the second day of the lunar new year. Do you know what I need to prepare for a marriage proposal?”

“The person you like?”

Heng Yi nodded.

“That’s a bit particular.”

Heng Yi invited Old Third Hu to a tavern for dinner, looking at the cloth shop across the street.

“You order first. I’ll go buy something.”

Then, he entered the clothing store.

He wouldn’t buy fabric either.

“It’s suitable for newlyweds, young girls, people my age, and older people…”

The shopkeeper laughed. “Heng Yi, are you getting married?”

“Yes!” Heng Yi nodded.

“Then you can’t buy it like this. Come, come, I’ll tell you in detail.”

The shopkeeper didn’t try to fool Heng Yi. He gave him detailed recommendations. Heng Yi did need a lot of cloth, and he wasn’t short of money.

“When you make ready-made clothes in your shop, will there be scraps of cloth left behind?”

“Yes, buy more fabric. I’ll give you some, and a set of needlework, scissors, and a needle.”

“Okay.”

Heng Yi thought that Han Qiao only had a few sacks of shredded cloth in her hands. He didn’t know what she wanted to do with them, so he wanted to bring some back for her.

Heng Yi was willing to spend money to buy two sets of cloth for each of the Han family members, and even more for Han Qiao and the girls.

Third Brother Hu stood at the door and clicked his tongue. “You’re really generous.”

Heng Yi ignored him.

He asked the shopkeeper to pack it up and handed the banknote to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper’s hand trembled as he received it. I can’t break up the change.”

“Pack it first. I’ll go to the bank to exchange.”

Heng Yi wanted to go to West Mountain Village overnight.

It would be better ifshe could stay at Han Qiao’s house at night.

When he reached the door, he turned around and asked the shopkeeper, “Do you have cotton here?”

“Yes, how much do you want?”

“All of it!

“I still have more than a hundred catties here. Do you want them all?”

“I want it all!” Heng Yi said.

Third Brother Hu followed beside Heng Yi and clicked his tongue.

“I’m curious how beautiful that Han family is to make you spend so much money.”

There was so much fabric that other people wouldn’t even need it for ten wives.

Heng Yi was afraid that it would be too little.

During dinner, Third Brother Hu told Heng Yi that he needed to find a matchmaker to prepare for the marriage proposal. Matchmakers were in this business, and she knew everything.

Heng Yi looked at Old Third Hu blandly.

It felt like he was lying to him for a meal.

Old Third Hu chuckled. “Do you want to buy land? I have someone here who wants to sell ten mu of land. It’s very close to Puyi County, but the price is a little high.”

“How much per mu?”

“Three hundred and thirty taels. They also brought a manor. There are a few acres of orchards and a fish pond in the back mountain. If I had a carriage, it would take at most two incense sticks to burn to get to Puyi County.”

Third Brother Hu approached Heng Yi. “The main family needs money to settle their crimes. If you want it, you can lower the price.”

Heng Yi was silent.

If he hadn’t given Han Qiao the silver, he would definitely have bought it.

In the past, he had eaten his fill and the whole family was not hungry. He was muddleheaded and casual.

However, when he was going to start a family in the future, he had to buy some family business so that his wife and daughters could rely on him and live a comfortable life.

“Three hundred taels?” Heng Yi asked.

“It should be possible to suppress it. If you really want it, you have to do it as soon as possible. That manor is not bad. I just got the news. I’ll ask you first. If you want me to help you deal with it?”

…..

“Help me pay the silver first. I’ll give it to you in two days!” Heng Yi didn’t stand on ceremony with Third Brother Hu.

Third Brother Hu laughed coldly. “You can mock me as much as you want. My family only has this much money. If I could afford it, would I tell you?”

In the early years, the Hu family was also rich, but because Third Brother Hu’s father caused trouble, they had to pay a lot of money.

“Then help me delay it. I’ll bring the money to you in three days at most.”

Deal!

After dinner, Heng Yi went to the money house to exchange for silver notes, then went to the cloth shop to pay. He carried such a heavy thing to the matchmaker’s house with a carrying pole.

Matchmaker Wang was the most famous matchmaker in Ninghe Town. After hearing Heng Yi’s words, she immediately sat up straight after receiving two taels of silver.

“Don’t worry, I guarantee that I’ll do it properly.”

“I want this betrothal gift to be the best you’ve ever received in Ninghe Town.” After Heng Yi finished speaking, he asked Matchmaker Wang to go to the Broker’s Shop to discuss the purchase with Third Brother Hu’s wife.

Then, he picked up the burden and set off for Xishan Village.

Matchmaker Wang sighed. “It’s really an old house on fire. It can’t be put out.”

“Then the Han Corporation is really lucky. They were blind to marry Sun

Yiming and now they’re remarrying after getting a divorce. Tsk tsk tsk…”

When Heng Yi arrived at West Mountain Village, Han Qiao and the others were already asleep.

He knocked on the door.

In fact, it was easy to climb over the wall, but he wanted to use the main door.

He entered openly.

1Q11

Han Qiao woke up when she heard the noise. She took the butcher knife and walked to the door. She asked in a low voice, “who is it?”

“I am Heng Yi!”

When Han Qiao opened the door, the stench of sweat assaulted her face. A tall black shadow with two eyes glowing with a dim light, and there were a few large black bags beside him.

“Come in first..”
