Chapter 87: The Wan Family’s Plan Failed

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

For a moment, Mother Zhen saw endless malice in Han Qiao’s eyes.

There was also ruthlessness and a warning.

But when she looked carefully, Han Qiao had already turned around and was following Heng Yi like a little bird.

Heng Yi was carrying something, and Han Qiao was empty-handed. Looking at their backs, they looked so compatible. Their shadows overlapped, and they were inseparable.

Mother Zhen stomped her feet angrily and turned around to close the door.

Han Qiao didn’t cat much for breakfast, so Heng Yi took her to eat wontons and dumplings.

The taste wasn’t that great, but compared to the greasy leftovers of the Heng family, Han Qiao preferred to eat wontons.

Han Qiao and Heng Yi ate a bowl of wontons and a basket of dumplings together. She didn’t eat much, and Heng Yi finished the rest.

Perhaps because they were married, they could be open and aboveboard. Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao with passionate and lingering eyes.

When she paid, Heng Yi looked at her and did whatever she asked him to do. He was a little silly…But Heng Yi wasn’t stupid. He was actually quite capable.

“Heng Yi, let’s go to brother Hu and tell him about the house.”

“Alright.”

Whatever Han Qiao said, Heng Yi agreed.

The two of them went to Broker’s Store together. Third Brother Hu was in the shop today. When he saw the two of them coming together, he smiled and teased them. After making tea for them, he got down to business. “You guys don’t even want to live in town anymore, why do you still want to buy a house?” There was still a house in the middle.

Third Brother Hu couldn’t figure it out.

“Brother Hu, just help us buy it.”

“Alright, I’ll buy it for you as soon as possible.”

Strangely enough, the house had not been able to sell. The price had dropped by 20 taels.

Heng Yi got a bargain.

“Thank you, Brother Hu.” Han Qiao thanked him.

Compared to Heng Yi, she knew how to save face, and even Old Woman Heng, who was as fierce as she was, was coaxed into smiling.

When the couple left for the Wan family, Old Third Hu was still wondering why Han Qiao bought these two houses.

There was another plan…

He was scheming against the woman who lived between the two rooms.

What was it called again?

Third Brother Hu racked his brains and went out to recruit a little beggar. He gave the little beggar a few coins and asked him to inquire about it.

Although these little beggars were young, they were not stupid to be able to survive in a small town like Ninghe Town.

This little beggar spent his days near Broker’s Shop, specifically running errands for Hu Laosan, asking for some information or delivering a letter.

Three meals a day might not be enough, but at least he would not starve to death.

Knowing that Master Wan liked wine, Han Qiao and Heng Yi went to the tavern to get the best wine.

Master Wan’s house was still far away, but Han Qiao saw two children running away quickly.

She guessed that it was her master’s child who was waiting here.

“Your master must think highly of you.”

Heng Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“In the future, you have to walk around more often. It’s fine if people don’t come during the holidays, but you can’t be short on gifts.”

Han Qiao didn’t ask much about the marriage. Heng Yi could make it grand, but he couldn’t do it alone. Friends and relatives would have to help.

When they arrived at Master Wan’s house, Master Wan’s family was already waiting at the door. The two kids popped their heads out, smiling at Han Qiao and Heng Yi.

“Master.” Heng Yi called out, ‘Til bring my wife here to show you.”

“Okay, okay, come in and sit.”

The two of them also asked to serve tea to their master and masteress.

A greeting gift.

Master’s wife smiled and gave Han Qiao a red packet.

Han Qiao held it in her hand and could feel that it was a bracelet.

It should be a silver bracelet.

It was said that a disciple was half a child, and his master and wife treated Heng Yi really well.

After getting to know the Wan family, it was almost time for lunch.

The Wan family’s lunch was quite sumptuous, and it was all freshly made. The fresh taste was still good.

Master’s wife and sisters-in-law kept putting food into Han Qiao’s and Heng Yi’s bowls. “Don’t stand on ceremony, Sister-in-law. We’re all family. Help yourself to whatever you like.”

Han Qiao couldn’t be polite even if she wanted to.

In short, she was a little full.

Heng Yi drank some wine and sat down beside her obediently. He didn’t even go when she called him.

He was like a wooden block.

“This child is the same as when he first came to be our master. He would shut his mouth when we talked to him and wouldn’t move even when we called him to eat. He would only scoop some for us to eat when we were done eating.” Master’s wife sighed.

“Yes, at that time, I had already married into the family. Little Junior Brother was very skinny. He stood there like a bamboo pole and looked really pitiful.” Wan Wusao agreed.

The sisters-in-law of the Wan family also told Han Qiao about how Heng Yi looked when he first came to the Wan family.

Every sentence did not mention the abuse and grinding of Heng Yi, but every sentence was the abuse and grinding of Heng Yi.

From time to time, she glanced at Heng Yi, who was silent.

He hadn’t had a good day in the Heng family, and he might not have had a good time with Master Wan either.

This bracelet was not easy to take today.

She reached out to hold Heng Yi’s hand, and felt him grip her hand tightly.

His palms were sweaty.

Han Qiao said gently,”That’s all in the past. In the future, I’ll spend the rest of my life with him. I’ll care about his happiness and sorrow, take care of his three meals a day, give birth to his children, and protect our family.”

Heng Yi’s eyes lit up.

His passionate feelings surged, and he only held Han Qiao’s hand tightly.

The Wan family was slightly stunned.

Han Qiao’s words were different from what they had expected.

Han Qiao did not say that she would show filial piety to her master or repay her master’s kindness. She did not say a word.

When the Wan family talked about this, she could easily shift the topic to another place and talk about other things.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Han Qiao and Heng Yi stood up and said goodbye.

The Wan family couldn’t say what they wanted to say.

He could only watch as the couple bid farewell and left.

After a moment of silence, Master’s wife said, “In the future, don’t mention the things you’re thinking about.”

“Mother…” His daughters-in-law called out in unison.

“Heng Yi’s wife is a smart person, you guys can’t even do anything to her!”

On the way back, Han Qiao and Heng Yi were standing very close to each other. If one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t be able to tell that they had been moving forward.

She didn’t want to go back to the Heng family to eat greasy food. “Heng Yi, let’s go to the tavern to eat. Order two dishes and two bowls of white rice. I don’t want to eat the food at home. It’s too greasy.”

“Alright.”

The two of them entered the restaurant together. Han Qiao ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, one egg soup, and a big bowl of rice. Han Qiao ordered a plate of melon seeds and a pot of tea. The two of them sat together, munching on melon seeds, drinking tea, and chatting while waiting for the food.

In addition, it was still early. The two of them sat in the corner and spoke softly so that no one would hear them.

Heng Yi had never enjoyed such a comfortable life before. He just sat there drinking tea and eating melon seeds, waiting for the dishes to be served.

Because it was still early, there were no customers in the restaurant, so the food was served very quickly.

Fried leeks with bacon, braised chicken, cucumber salad, egg soup, and white rice. The two ate slowly, and Heng Yi put some meat into Han Qiao’s bowl.

“You eat meat, I like to eat cucumber salad.”

The food in this tavern was not bad. They did not use much oil and the saltiness was moderate.

After the two of them were full, Han Qiao specially ordered a big bowl of braised chicken and placed it in a food box to bring back.

Han Qiao asked Heng Yi to pay.

Heng Yi had some money on hand, but not much, but he still had enough to pay for a meal.

Heng Yi paid the money, took the food box, and led Han Qiao out of the tavern to the Heng family.

As soon as they left the tavern, Sun Yiming brought his friends into the tavern…
