Chapter 86: The Faeces in the Latrine Pit

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After the tea ceremony, Han Qiao wanted to go out with Heng Yi to his master’s house. Yesterday, his master’s family also came. Han Qiao also met his master’s wife and a few sisters-in-law. They were all kind people.

Old Woman Heng called out to Han Qiao, “Old Fifth, Old Fifth’s wife, the two of you stay behind.”

The two of them sat down.

Old Woman Heng then said, “I discussed with your father last night and thought that it would be better to separate this family. The children are all grown up, and those who marry have to marry, and those who marry have to marry. There should be a room for a bed, and we can’t let the new daughter-in-law sleep on the ground.”

The few uncles and uncles quickly agreed.

Han Qiao also nodded. “That’s true.”

“It’s just that it’s not cheap to build a house back in the village. How much money did you spend to build that house?”

“Excluding the family’s help, furniture, pots and pans, I spent a total of eight taels on buying tiles, hiring a carpenter, and buying land.”

When everyone heard eight taels of silver.

Some of them were already getting excited and wondering if they could borrow some money to build a house.

After all, the children at home were all grown up. After marrying a wife, they couldn’t not even have a house.

Old Woman Heng did some calculations. Last night, she counted the money she had saved up over the years. She had nearly fifty taels of silver. It would take more than thirty taels to repair a room for each of her four sons. She still had to buy two pots, bowls, ladles, and so on. In the end, she might only have ten taels left.

“You have a house in West Mountain Village, and Heng Yi has a manor in Puyi County. Heng Family Village won’t be building houses for you. I’ll sell this house in town to you at a cheaper price. We’ll have a place to stay when we come to town occasionally. What do you think?”

“Alright!” Han Qiao nodded.

She wouldn’t stay in Heng Family Village either.

Hurry up and get the Heng family away from Mother Zhen next door.

To avoid being used by others.

It couldn’t cause too much damage, but it was disgusting.

Not only did she want to buy this house, but she also wanted to buy the one next to Mother Zhen’s house. No one lived in her neighborhood, which was not a good thing for a beautiful and rich woman.

If Mother Zhen dared to disgust her, she would dare to plot against her.

She, Han Qiao, had never been a pushover.

“What do you think, Fifth Brother?” Old Woman Heng asked.

“Our Sister Ah Qiao has the final say.”

Heng Yi had no objections.

Han Qiao said she wanted to buy it, so she bought it.

Old Woman Heng was happy.

Han Qiao said calmly, “Mother said that you’re selling this house to us at a low price? How cheap was it? I heard from Brother Hu that the house next door was sold for more than twenty taels. After selling the house, would the title deed be transferred to Heng Yi?”

She didn’t want the house to be hers after she paid the money.

That was simply a fool.

Old Woman Heng heard this and looked at Old Man Heng. When Old Man Heng nodded, she said, “It must be transferred to Old Fifth. This house will be twenty taels. What do you think?”

To be able to make the miserly Old Woman Heng lose a few taels of silver was already a matter of red rain falling from the sky.

“Old Fifth’s wife, don’t blame us for being biased as parents. It’s really too difficult to earn money. Dalang and the others are not as capable as Old Fifth…”

Han Qiao continued, “20 taels it is. When the time comes, this house will be demolished and rebuilt. No matter what’s inside, as long as my parents, brother, and sister-in-law like it, they can tear it down and take it away.”

Old Woman Heng was overjoyed.

“It’s good that I like it.”

Then, he carefully asked Han Qiao, “Old Fifth’s wife, I’ll just call you Ah Qiao. Do you think that’s okay?”

“Deal!” Han Qiaowen smiled and nodded.

“Then, then the gold bracelet you promised to buy me yesterday still counts, right?” Old Woman Heng asked carefully.

Instantly, everyone looked at Han Qiao.

Heng Yi also glanced at Han Qiao and sat up straight.

“Since I promised mother, I will definitely keep my promise.”

“It’s just that Heng Yi and I just got married…”

Old Woman Heng quickly interrupted, “I understand, I understand. Take your time. There’s no hurry.”

As long as Han Qiao kept her word, it didn’t matter whether it was earlier or later.

As long as he gave it to her.

When the Heng brothers learned that their parents were going to separate, they became excited as well.

They had also discussed with their daughter-in-law last night. They had to buy furniture with the money in their hands. They definitely couldn’t afford to repair the house.

The houses in town would not get much if they were demolished, but it was better than buying them all.

Han Qiao said to Old Woman Heng, “Mother, I’ll go to Master’s house with Heng Yi later.”

“I should go, I should go.”

Old Woman Heng even pretended to ask, “Is everything ready?”

“I’m ready.”

“Then go early. Are you coming back for lunch?” Old Woman Heng asked.

“I’ll have lunch at Master’s place and come back in the evening.”

In fact, Han Qiao didn’t want to eat at the Heng family at all.

It was all greasy leftovers.

It would probably turn sour at night.

Old Woman Heng was reluctant to send him off. Neighbors, relatives, and friends would give him some. He wouldn’t have to eat rotten vegetables.

“Then go quickly. There’s still a distance between here and Master Wan.”01d Woman Heng was rarely amiable.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi stood up at the same time. “Father, Mother, Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, Aunt, stay at home and have lunch before you leave. Heng Yi and I are going to work.”

Han Qiao was thorough.

Heng Yi’s face was cold, and he didn’t say a word.

Back in the bridal chamber, Han Qiao took out the things she had prepared, and Heng Yi carried them.

Han Qiao locked everything that should be locked, including the door.

When they went out together, Old Woman Heng giggled and came to see them off.

She had just left when the door next door opened.

Mother Zhen stood at the door in white, calling out in a pitiful and weak voice, “Heng Yi, are you going out?”

Heng Yi’s face darkened.

He nervously swallowed his saliva.

Han Qiao chuckled. “Heng Yi, who is this? Do you know him?”

“I don’t know him.” Heng Yi said coldly.

Mother Zhen’s face changed slightly, but she still said calmly, “Heng Yi is always joking. I was engaged to him a long time ago. How could I not know him?”

“Besides, you and I met that day.”

“Puchi!” Han Qiao laughed.

“Isn’t it just an engagement? There were also many who divorced after marriage. Besides, you and Heng Yi were engaged many years ago. I can’t just take a stick to the latrine and see what he ate yesterday.”

Han Qiao said casually.

The sun had not risen for long, and the weather was not hot. It was even a little warm.

Heng Yi wondered what Han Qiao meant.

Mother Zhen understood that Han Qiao was comparing her to Heng Yi’s sh * t.

She was so angry that her face turned red.

Han Qiao said to Heng Yi casually, “Let’s go. It’s very hot today. Look, my face is hurting.”

“Ah…”

Heng Yi became anxious.

He quickly said, “Then let’s go quickly. I’ll buy an oil-paper umbrella when we get to the front. I know a shop that sells umbrellas. The oil-paper umbrellas are very beautiful. Take a look at what flowers you like and we’ll buy a few more.”

“Good!” Han Qiao pulled Heng Yi towards the alley.

She also said to Heng Yi, “The next time you meet such a strange person, you must stay away from him.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Sister Ah Qiao.” Heng Yi said seriously.

Han Qiao even shouted, “If she still shamelessly comes over, you must scold her righteously and tell her to scram.”

Heng Yi nodded.

“Do you know what to say?” Han Qiao asked.

“Ugly thing, get lost!” Heng Yi’s voice was even louder than Han Qiao’s.

Not only did Mother Zhen hear it, but many people in the alley also heard it.

Some people even opened the door to see who was shouting.

Mother Zhen’s face turned red as she looked at Han Qiao and Heng Yi’s backs with hatred.

However, Han Qiao turned around and smiled at her..
