Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Heng Yi’s eyes turned cold.
He looked coldly at Old Woman Heng, then at the woman who was being dragged out of the main room by Old Madam Heng.
The woman was very young and had a good appearance. She looked very noble in her clothes.
She looked up at Heng Yi, her eyes full of charm.
With just one glance, Heng Yi was disgusted by that look.
“Old Fifth…”
“Nonsense!” Heng Yi’s voice was cold.
He was filled with anger.
Old Woman Heng trembled in fear.” Old Fifth, Mother Zhen…”
Heng Yi didn’t say anything. He turned around and walked out.
Mother Zhen imdiately stepped forward.” Heng Yi!”
Heng Yi didn’t even turn around, he went straight to his room to pack his clothes.
His clothes were also pitifully few, so he casually tidied up a bundle.
Walking out of the room, Old Woman Heng stood at the door with Mother Zhen.
Mother Zhen continued, “Heng Yi, I don’t care if you have saved up money or not. I want you to be able to live a stable life…”
Heng Yi looked at Mother Zhen. “I don’t know where you co from, and I don’t know how much silver you have. I just want to tell you that they can’t make decisions for . No one in the Heng family can.”
“Let give you a piece of advice. Don’t think of others as too kind. Take care of yourself.”
Heng Yi finished speaking and left the house with his bag.
Old Woman Heng slapped her thigh angrily. “This unfilial son, unfilial son.”
He then looked at Mother Zhen. “Mother Zhen…”
“Auntie, it’s okay. I can wait.”Mother Zhen smiled. “Heng Yi just forgot who 1 am. When he rembers who I am, he won’t reject .”
Old Woman Heng nodded repeatedly.
Thinking of the cloth and sweet wine that Mother Zhen had sent over, he quickly smiled and said, “yes, yes, that’s right. Mother Zhen, why don’t you buy the house next door and we can be neighbors?”
“You’re closer to Fifth Brother. Won’t it be fine after a while?”
“Aunty is right.”
Mother Zhen had just left the Heng family’s house and left the alley. The carriage waiting by the roadside imdiately drove forward. “Miss.”
“Yes, we’ll go to Sun Ji’s grocery store on the street.”
Sun Yixi was not having a good ti these days. Another grocery store opened in town, taking away 90% of his business. The family needed food and drinks. Without inco, they could only live on their savings. That was why he wanted to sell the house.
It was just that the rich in town despised the small house, and the poor could not afford it.
“May I ask if Shopkeeper Sun is here?”
A beautiful woman dressed in an expensive manner entered the grocery store.
Sun Yixi’s eyes lit up. “Yes, yes.”
Mother Zhen didn’t waste any ti on Sun Yixi and directly explained her purpose of visit. “I heard that Shopkeeper Sun wants to sell the small courtyard at the end of the street?”
“Yes, could it be that you want to buy it?”
“If the price is suitable, I’ll buy it.”
Twenty-two taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for Mother Zhen. She agreed without hesitation and even asked Sun Yixi if he was willing to go to the yan to sign the deed imdiately.
Sun Yixi was naturally willing.
“I’ve already hung up at Broker’s Shop. I have to go there and inform them.”
“Then let’s go together.”
Sun Yixi saw that Zhen Niang had her own carriage and a maid accompanying her. She was beautiful and spoke coquettishly, so he couldn’t help but take a few more glances. Mother Zhen even smiled at him, almost stealing his soul.
When they arrived at the Broker’s Firm, they found out that Third Brother Hu had gone to the yan, so they went to the yan without stopping.
When they arrived at the yan, Hu Laosan and the official ca out together. Sun Yixi went forward to talk about this matter.
Third Brother Hu looked at Sun Yixi and then at Mother Zhen who was not far away.
“It’s just that…” Third Brother Hu hesitated.
Zhen Niang said, “Shopkeeper, this is a little token of my appreciation. Consider it as compensation for your hard work.”
The maidservant imdiately handed over a pouch.
There were two taels of silver inside.
At this point, Old Third Hu knew that Heng Yi had no chance of buying the house.
“Alright then.”
She swiftly received the money and invited the shopkeeper to treat him to a drink the next day.
The official smiled and let Hu Laosan go first.
After all, the silver had already been delivered to his door. He could not refuse.
He brought Sun Yixi and Zhen Niang into the yan to handle the deed of the house sale.
Heng Yi had already left Ninghe Town’s city gate when he suddenly rembered who Mother Zhen was. He rushed back and went straight to Broker’s Firm. He found out that Mother Zhen had followed Sun Yixi to Broker’s Firm.
He sat in Broker’s Shop and waited for Hu Laosan.
“Ah, why are you here? Let tell you, soone wants to buy the house of the Sun family next to yours. Do you still want the one next to the Sun family?”
“No, find another place.” Without thinking, Heng Yi refused.
“?”Third Brother Hu was surprised. “What’s wrong?”
“It doesn’t have to be a house. Just the front street. As long as the backyard can accommodate people and can park carriages, one room is fine. Two or three rooms are fine. Help negotiate the amount of money. I’ll give it to you when the ti cos.” Third Brother Hu raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
“Heng Yi, you don’t look right.”
“What’s wrong?” Heng Yi stood up, picked up his bag and hunting tools, and prepared to leave.
Third Brother Hu hurriedly asked, “Where are you planning to go?”
“Let’s go into the mountains to hunt.”
Third Brother Hu pulled him back. “If you really have soone you like, hurry up and marry her. Don’t dawdle. I can’t bear to see you like this.”
Spring passed and winter ca, but Heng Yi was never happy.
He was like a walking corpse, living a aningless life.
“Which family are you from? Let your sister-in-law matchmake you.”
11 H
Heng Yi paused for a mont before saying, “We’ll talk about it later.”
“What?” Third Brother Hu panicked. No, do you have a girl you like? What are you waiting for? You don’t lack money, and you don’t look repulsive.”
Heng Yi thought for a mont and said, “What do you think?”
I H
Third Brother Hu widened his eyes, thinking that he had misheard.
“You want to marry into her family?”
“I don’t know if she’s willing or not.” Heng Yi walked away.
And he walked very fast.
Hu Laosan ca back to his senses and chased after Broker, but he was already far away. “Hunting at this hour? What a sin.”
Third Brother Hu shook his head.
When Heng Yi arrived at the Han family, it was already dark.
He hesitated at the door for a while before knocking.
“He’s here.”
Han Qiao was chatting with Madam Mu in her room.
He imdiately stood up when he heard soone knocking on the door.
She went to the courtyard and asked, “Who is it?”
“Heng Yi.”
1Q11
Han Qiao could hear him and opened the courtyard door in surprise. She saw him standing under the moonlight, lonely.
“Why are you here so late? Have you had dinner?” Han Qiao asked casually.
Heng Yi suddenly felt wronged. “No.” He replied hoarsely.
“Co in quickly. I’ll go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for you.”
That day, she cut so noodles and dried them. Thinking of her family, she hurriedly cooked a bowl.
“Alright.”
Heng Yi followed behind Han Qiao.
Han Qiao turned around to look at him and saw that his shoulders were drooping and
that he was carrying a bundle.
He looked so pitiful.
Han Qiao didn’t ask any more questions. She let him sit for a while and went straight to the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, sister-in-law Han was very enthusiastic when she saw Heng Yi.
“Heng Yi, have a seat.”
“Alright.”
Dacheng, Da Yong, and Da Hu ran out as well. They were overjoyed to see Heng Yi, and they called out in unison, “Fifth Uncle Heng.”
“Are you busy tomorrow? If not, co with to the mountains to hunt!” Heng Yi said as he looked at the kitchen.
The third young man imdiately agreed.
They loved hunting in the mountains.
Prey could be sold for money.
Han Sister-in-law was also very happy. She quickly let Heng Yi sit down and went to the kitchen to help Han Qiao.
Soon, there was the sound of frying oil and breaking eggs in the kitchen. After a sizzling sound, the fragrance wafted out.
Hungry and thirsty, Heng Yi stood in the yard. Amidst the fireworks and laughter, he experienced happiness for the first ti.
And a sense of belonging..
