“Uncle!” Heng Yi said.

“I won’t go and find it!”

Big Uncle Heng was annoyed.

Was that what he wanted to say? What he wanted to say was that Heng Yi should repay him for taking him in.

However, Heng Yi seemed to have forgotten about it.

Uncle Heng took a deep breath. “Where do you plan to buy your house?”

“I’m not sure yet!”

It was not easy to buy a house in Ninghe Town.

The town was small, and there were few people who wanted to sell their houses.

Unless he made a lot of money outside and had a good place to go.

Or move out of town.

Uncle Heng fell silent.

Big Uncle fell silent, and so did Heng Yi.

Then, there was nothing else to say.

Heng Yi stood up. “Uncle, I’m leaving first. I’ll come back after I’ve bought the house!”

“Good!

Big Uncle Heng sent Heng Yi out. Seeing him ride his white horse, he felt jealous.

Heng Yi rode his horse to the town to look for Hu Laosan, but was met by Heng Dalang.

“Fifth brother, fifth brother.” Heng Dalang was trembling with excitement.

“?” Heng Yi looked at him coldly.

“Fifth brother, fifth brother, it’s great to find you. Father and Mother asked me to look for you to discuss the banquet. Hurry up and come back with me!”

Heng Yi didn’t believe it.

But he still decided to make a trip.

She jumped off the horse and led him to Heng Lang’s side.

“Fifth brother, your white horse is really good. It’s white and clean. You bought it for a lot of money, right?”

“Someone else’s, lend it to me for a few days!”

Heng Dalang still reached out to touch it with great curiosity.

His eyes were filled with envy and greed.

“How long can you borrow it for? Can you let me ride it for a few days? I…”

“No!” Heng Yi refused without thinking.

If this horse was given to Heng Dalang, it would be impossible to get it back.

Heng Yi wasn’t that smart, but he wasn’t stupid.

Heng Dalang didn’t say anything, but he hated Heng Yi’s stinginess, but he couldn’t bear to take his eyes off the white horse.

From time to time, he would reach out and touch it, thinking how good it would be if he had a horse too.

Before Heng Yi returned to the Heng Family, the other members of the Heng Family immediately surrounded him.

“Fifth Brother!

“Fifth Uncle!

They shouted so intimately.

No matter how slow Heng Yi was, he knew that something must have happened to change the Heng family’s personality.

He guessed that the Heng family must have found out about his tiger hunt.

When they passed by Mother Zhen’s house, she stood at the door and called out softly, “Heng Yi!”

Heng Yi’s eyes were cold and emotionless as he glanced at Mother Zhen.

The Heng brothers stared at him with wide eyes.

Mother Zhen was dressed thinly, and the collar of her clothes was low and revealed fair skin…

“Heng Yi, if you don’t have money, I can lend it to you!” Mother Zhen said.

The Heng brothers gasped.

They knew that Mother Zhen was rich.

“Do you have a hundred thousand taels?” Heng Yi asked.

Mother Zhen choked until her heart hurt.

A hundred thousand taels, how could she have a hundred thousand taels?

“Don’t pretend!” Heng Yi walked away.

The Heng brothers looked at Heng Yi, then at Mother Zhen.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

When Heng Yi returned home, the children immediately surrounded him. “Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, do you have money? Give me some money to buy some candies!”

“Fifth Uncle, I want it too.”

“Me too.”

Heng Yi didn’t even agree, but the children had already surrounded him and were asking for money.

Heng Yi remained silent.

But he still pulled out a hundred coins. “Take it!”

“Thank you, Fifth Uncle!”

The children immediately shouted and went to buy some candies.

Old Woman Heng walked forward with a smile. “Old Fifth, hurry up and sit in the hall!”

“Yes!

Heng Yi entered the room and was immediately served tea.

Then, everyone in the room looked at him.

Old man Heng smoked his tobacco, smoke surrounding him.

“Old Fifth, seeing that you’re about to get married, the family should also prepare. How many tables do you think we should hold? How many dishes do you need to prepare?” asked old man Heng.

He decided not to mention the matter of hunting tigers.

“Sixteen dishes, two cold dishes, melon seeds, peanuts, preserved fruits, and candied fruits. I’ll leave it to White Tea and Old Third Hu to take care of it. As for how many tables I need, can you calculate how many people there are? I’ll pay for the wine myself. You don’t have to pay for it.”

He only had three or four tables at most.

And this was with his master and Third Brother Hu.

There were still a few tables that needed to be arranged by Han Qiao.

Old man Heng silently calculated.

A few brothers, sisters, cousins, and relatives would have to prepare at least fifteen tables.

Fifteen tables might not be enough. Twenty tables.

He still had to invite someone else, and this gift money was also a large sum.

Old Woman Heng also counted how many people there were in her family? He had to invite all that he could and couldn’t.

Sixteen dishes. Tsk, tsk, tsk. She would still be able to eat a big feast in this lifetime.

The brothers and sisters-in-law were also trying their best to think of the people they could invite, counting on their fingers.

“I have four tables here!

“I also have four tables!

Several sisters-in-law said that four tables of people from their family would be coming.

Heng Dalang and his brothers scratched their heads.

They didn’t have many friends, but they could at least invite two or three tables.

“I have three tables here!

Anyway, Old Man Heng and the others calculated that it would be sixty tables.

“I haven’t even counted the neighbors!”

There were quite a number of people next door.

If all of them came, wouldn’t there be a hundred tables?

Heng Yi remained silent.

He didn’t know how the Heng family had calculated so many people, but he knew that they must have wanted to report more so that they could keep the leftovers for themselves.

If one table was worth one tael of silver, then a hundred tables would only cost a hundred taels of silver.

He could afford it.

“My wedding room…” Heng Yi asked.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get your big brother and the others to flip the roof over in a while. The house will also be cleaned up.”

“Move the bed. Ah Qiao said she wants to use a new bed!” Heng Yi said.

Old Woman Heng cursed in her heart at the little hussy for being so particular.

Heng Yi continued, “It’s the dowry from the Han family.”

He couldn’t possibly have nothing on his wedding day.

Therefore, the Han family would send the furniture over two days in advance.

As long as he didn’t want to, if the Heng Family dared to take his things, he would smash them.

Hearing this, the Heng family was overjoyed. “How many do you want?”

“My room is only that big. How many things can I put in?” Heng Yi asked.

“..”Old woman Heng was silent.

The Heng family was only so big, so how could they move out a room?

Perhaps it was really time to buy a house or move out.

It was not the same for a large family to squeeze into a small courtyard.

“Old Fifth…”

Old Woman Heng really wanted to cry.

“Mother has let you down all these years, but, but… You have to understand mother, it’s not easy for me either!”

Her own son was dead, but the child she had casually picked up was healthy and lively. How could she bear it?

It was already good enough that he was not strangled to death.

How could she feel better and hurt?

Heng Yi said nothing.

He didn’t think that the crying adoptive mother in front of him really regretted it. She was just trying to cheat him of his money..
