Chapter 239: When Greed Meets Rudeness

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He was not just different. It was as if he was reborn.

When he walked in the past, his head was lowered, and his clothes were stained with dirt and blood. He looked even sweatier and dirtier during the summer.

But look at him now! He was clean and refreshed. He walked over with his head held high and chest out. Who wouldn’t praise him for his good demeanor?

Not to mention the saber at his waist, which made him look even more domineering.

Heng Yi greeted his neighbors and got on his horse, riding to the fast food restaurant.

This was the fast food restaurant that he wanted to open himself. He would manage it all by himself. Sometimes, he would ask Han Qiao for advice.

Because the business philosophy was the same, Han Qiao, as a veteran, knew more than him.

“The boss is here.”

Third Brother Hu chuckled.

Heng Yi smiled at him.

A few of the living quarters in the backyard had been demolished and turned into a dining hall. The kitchen had also expanded a lot.

At this moment, there was already quite a number of food prepared.

Once the firecrackers were set off and the red silk covering the signboard was pulled off, the restaurant would officially open.

Ninghe Town was not a big town, and there were not many people, so many things were prepared.

When everything was ready, Heng Yi told Dong Lai and Third Brother Hu to keep an eye on the restaurant while he went back to pick up Han Qiao and the others.

Han Qiao woke up right after Heng Yi left. She was still washing up, and the children had already packed up.

All of them were in high spirits, unable to hide the joy in their eyes.

“Let’s wait at the main entrance. Your father should be coming back to pick us up soon.”

As expected, Heng Yi was riding his horse over when he reached the door.

Their big carriage couldn’t enter the alley, so they could only go to the main road.

They boarded the carriage one by one, and Heng Yi rode to protect them.

He looked into the carriage and asked Han Qiao, “Ah-Qiao, are you hungry?”

“I’m not hungry. Let’s eat at a fast food restaurant later.”

He Cheng leaned out against the carriage window, “Father, eat the big meat bun!”

Heng Yi looked at He Cheng and said, “Okay.”

“Cheng’er wants to eat two!”

“Yes.” Heng Yi nodded.

Seeing Heng Yi agree, He Cheng happily moved closer to Han Qiao.

When Han Qiao and the others arrived at the fast food restaurant, Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng were also invited over. The two of them were not as happy as they were yesterday, instead, they looked depressed.

They were so scared that they couldn’t sleep last night.

No one from the Han family came because Han Qiao didn’t send anyone to invite them.

Third Brother Hu shouted that the auspicious time had arrived.

Han Chi and Zeng Baobao immediately went to light the firecrackers. The lion also started to dance, and Heng Yi tore off the red silk.

The fast food restaurant was finally open.

“Everyone, please come in. There’s a lot of food this morning. You can take a look and see what you like.”

Third Brother Hu was indeed a good shopkeeper.

He was warm and thoughtful, and he was familiar with many people.

“Dong family, Dong family, welcome”

“Young Master, Young Ladies, welcome.”

Han Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled. Heng Yi pursed his lips and smiled.

On the other hand, Han Chi was bold and lively. “Uncle Hu, welcome!”

“Young Master, welcome.”

The business of the fast food restaurant was not as bad as he had imagined. After all, there was no market today.

The neighbors had long known about Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant, and they had saved some money by selling things to buy some good food to eat at home.

The food in the fast food restaurant tasted good.

The oil and water are enough, the fragrance is better than the taste of home cooking. Everything just tasted so much better.

After careful calculation, it was still better to buy from a fast food restaurant than cooking at home.

After breakfast, Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng went to find Heng Yi and said they were going back to Heng Family Village.

“I’ll send you back.”

“No, no, no! Your father and I will go back by ourselves.”

Heng Yi wouldn’t give them the chance to refuse.

He first sent Han Qiao and the others back to the residence, then forcefully stuffed the two of them into the carriage.

He personally drove the carriage to Heng Family Village.

The two of them were uneasy along the way.

The three Heng brothers were also very anxious.

They hoped that Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng could gain a huge advantage over Heng Yi, but they were also afraid that Heng Yi would come back and beat them up.

They couldn’t sit still… Until they saw the carriage coming.

The three brothers’ hearts tightened.

Heng Yi got off the carriage and snorted coldly, “It’s good that you’re all here. It saves me the trouble of looking for you all.”

While the three brothers, Old Man Heng, and Old Woman Heng were screaming in shock, Heng Yi had already beaten the three brothers to the ground.

They were screaming for mercy.

Old Woman Heng was already scared out of her wits, “Don’t hit them anymore, don’t hit them anymore! 1 won’t go to you again! Fifth Son, please don’t hit them!”

Heng Yi slowly withdrew his hand.

Looking at the three brothers lying on the ground, he said to Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng, “I told you, 1 can’t hit you, but I can hit your sons. I won’t break their arms and legs, and I won’t take their lives, but I can make them lie in bed for ten days and half a month.”

“We won’t go to you. We won’t go to you, we won’t go to you anymore…”

Old Woman Heng’s face was covered in tears and snot.

She really didn’t dare to challenge Heng Yi’s bottom line.

She couldn’t be arrogant just because of the things he sent every month.

She wouldn’t dare to do it again.

Heng Yi looked at the three brothers lying on the ground, “You can’t blame me for being beaten. You can only blame yourself for not taking my words seriously.”

“It’s your fault for always wanting to challenge my bottom line.”

When a person was willing to risk everything, what did face matter?

He had finally gotten his happiness and had a family. No one was allowed to break his family or make things difficult for Han Qiao.

Han Qiao and the others went to Xishan Village on the second day of August.

It was almost noon when they arrived.

Because they had to take care of Han Xiang, her two children, and some housework, Han Yuan looked much more haggard than the last time they met her.

The two sisters-in-law also hold their complaints in their hearts.

They invited Han Qiao and the others to sit down.

Han Qiao sat down and took a sip of water. Then, she saw Han Xiang walking over like a ghost.

Her face was pale and she was so skinny that she looked like she was floating when she walked, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

She looked at Han Qiao in a daze and called out softly, “Sister.”

Then, she nervously twirled her fingers and lowered her head, thinking about something.

After a while, she looked up at Han Qiao.

“When she woke up, she forgot a lot of things and people. The doctor said that she hurt her head.” Mother Han said.

Han Qiao stared at Han Xiang.

Han Xiang looked up at Han Qiao from time to time.

Filled with anticipation and anxiety, she lowered her head in panic.

“Does she still recognize her two children?” Han Qiao asked.

Mother Han shook her head, “She remembered that she had lost a child and didn’t recognize Zhou Anshan. When her two children called her mother, she was stunned and thought that she was only 16 years old and unmarried. She didn’t even know who the father of the child was. She didn’t sleep or eat for the entire night.”

When Han Qiao heard this, she did not feel any compassion.

Even she thought that she had a heart of stone.

“What did the Zhou family say?” Han Qiao asked.

Looking at the door, Han Xiang’s two children were following Han Chi and He Cheng, waiting for Han Chi to feed them the candy brought from the county town.

“They’re acting like scoundrels now. Zhou Anshan wants to divorce her, he doesn’t want the children, but he wants to keep the house, and he’s willing to pay another five taels of silver for it.” Mother Han said angrily.

If she divorced him, she would have to stay at home.

She did not want to serve this living ancestor.

Not to mention that the two children were still young. If they went to the Academy to study in the future, it would cost them a huge sum of money. “That house is worth more than five taels of silver, right?” Han Qiao said. “About twenty taels. How can five taels be enough?”

Han Qiao had spent a lot of money on the construction of the house because the Han family had come to help.

He had saved a lot from his wages.

“Since you want them to divorce, then sell the house for silver as compensation. Otherwise, go to the government office and report it to the officials.”

“All-Xiang bit off one of Zhou Anshan’s mother’s ears..”
