She wouldn’t approach a stranger, let alone this old lady who had appeared out of nowhere by the roadside.

Regardless of whether she was sincere or evil, she could not casually accept other people’s things.

Heng Yi nodded slightly.

It was already noon on the fifth day of July when they returned to Puyi County. After more than a month, the children ran out when they heard that their parents had returned.

“Father, Mother!”

He Cheng ran over, “Mother!”

Just as he was about to jump into Han Qiao’s arms, Heng Yi picked him up.

He chuckled and shouted, “Father!”

“Yes,” Heng Yi replied.

Han Qiao patted He Cheng’s head, “Did you listen to your brother and sisters? Were you a good boy?”

I’m good!”

Children would learn from older children.

He Cheng was the same.

He would learn from his brother and sisters.

Han Qiao went to the main courtyard to take a shower.

She had been staying in the inn for the past two days and had some allergic reactions. Her body had a red rash.

She couldn’t casually use medicine, so for the time she was away she could only endure it.

After taking a fragrant bath and changing into clean clothes, Han Qiao yawned and chatted with the children for a while.

“Mother, you should rest first,” Sun Xiu said.

“Alright.”

Han Qiao was eight months pregnant, and it was already very inconvenient for her to move around.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long to return from Chenzhou.

After a good night’s sleep, the red spots on her body had dissipated a lot.

“It’s said that a ‘golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse’. Indeed, home is the most comfortable place to be.” Han Qiao sighed.

Shulan and Duan Yue quickly agreed.

They had been working very hard these days and had a lot of things to do.

Han Qiao slowly went to watch the children read.

The weather was getting hot, and they had drunk Chinese bayberry juice before. Now, they even had herbal tea.

He drank one bowl in the morning and another in the afternoon.

It was cool, sweet, and soothing.

He Cheng was still young, yet he sat there very seriously. She wondered if he had learned anything.

Han Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled.

After they finished cla.s.s, the children got up and said goodbye to their teacher.

“Greetings, Madam.”

“Mother.”

Han Qiao nodded.

Li Chun and the others were respectful. Their eyes were filled with light, pa.s.sion, and joy.

The children were even more confident.

Han Qiao chatted with the teacher for a while and asked the children about their studies.

“Eldest Young Master’s learning progress is very fast, and his handwriting is also very good. If he works hard, he can try the exam next spring.”

Next spring, the exams will be held for the children.

Han Qiao looked at Han Chi.

And the boy proudly straightened his waist.

Of course, it was all thanks to his hard work and dedication.

“Then let him try. What about the other children?” Han Qiao asked.

“Everyone has improved.”

Han Qiao was very satisfied with this.

Improvement meant that they were serious about their studies.

As for his martial arts, she didn’t need to ask. She could see at a glance whether there was any improvement in his moves or not.

They had dinner in the dining room and the whole family sat together. There was grilled fish, hot pot, and roast duck. The children especially love these strong-tasting dishes. Han Qiao liked them too, but for the sake of her baby, she only ate two bites each. She ate light food for the rest of the night.

Because of her pregnancy, she didn’t go to Han Village.

Heng Yi would deliver everything himself. He would go to the Han family first, and each family would get one gift, and the grandparents would get a gift as well.

She bought a high-quality tea leaf for her grandpa, and as for her grandma, she prepared a jade comb for her.

She gave Han Yuan a Hetian jade and a white jade bracelet.

When Heng Yi arrived in the Han family’s main room…

“Is Ah-Qiao alright?” Han Yuan asked softly. She was already eight months pregnant, but she was going to give birth in September. “I’ll visit her when the time comes.”

Although she wouldn’t be of any help, Han Yuan still wanted to go.

“Thank you, mother-in-law.”

Heng Yi invited his grandparents again.

But this time, Grandpa rejected him calmly, “We also know that it’s good to be in the county town. We eat well, clothed well, live well, and everything is good. It’s just that we have children here. We can’t stay at our granddaughter’s house. People will gossip.”

They had to consider their children and grandchildren too.

Heng Yi didn’t insist on the idea.

After having lunch at the Han residence, he drove the carriage to Heng Village.

Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng weren’t living too comfortably or too uncomfortably.

Other than the fact that they could not make decisions about the big and small matters at home, their children and grandchildren were not very close to them. They did not have much money in their hands and could not be extravagant. However, they did not lack food and clothing.

Heng Yi personally came, and the two of them were touched.

The thought of going to the county town appeared in their mind again.

“Our daughter-in-law is about to give birth, right? I’m going to take care of her during her confinement,” Old Woman Heng said expectantly.

“No need. There are maids and old women in the manor, so we don’t need you. Just stay in Heng Family Village and don’t go to the county town.”

He rejected her mercilessly.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Heng Yi stood up and prepared to leave.

Old Woman Heng swallowed her saliva, “But, but…

“No buts. You’d better be safe.”

Heng Yi coldly glanced at Old Woman Heng.

After not seeing him for a while, the aura on his body became even stronger.

This was the confidence that came from learning more advanced martial arts, reading and writing, having broad knowledge, and having a happy family.

As well as the disgust and hatred for the past.

However, she struggled and could not break free. She had nowhere to vent her hatred.

She could only use silence, coldness, and disregard to hide the unwillingness in her heart.

Heng Yi drove the carriage away, and by the time Old Woman Heng left the courtyard, the carriage was already far away.

She stood rooted to the ground, stunned. After a while, she mumbled, “If 1 knew he was so promising, I would have treated him better back then.”

If she had treated Heng Yi better back in the past, she could have gone to the county town to enjoy life.

It’s not like we have no opportunity at all,” Old Man Heng said in a deep voice.

“What?”

“Make a few pairs of tiger shoes for the child. When the time comes, we’ll personally send them to the county town.”

His words woke her up.

Old Woman Heng felt that it was a good idea, “I’ll make one now.”

First, she would go to see what Heng Yi had sent over. She looked at the silver comb in the box, the tobacco, tea leaves, cloth, and needles he had bought for the old man.

There was rice, pork, salt, sauce, and vinegar in the basket too.

There was also a box of green bean cakes.

Old Woman Heng was ecstatic.

“Old man, quickly taste this tobacco. It looks good. I’ll go make tea.”

“Yes.”

Old Man Heng nodded.

When the tea was ready and served, their grandchildren also came over.

Old Woman Heng split a bit each, and the pork was also cut into pieces for each family.

Then, she told the children to hurry back. She had something to discuss with the old man.

“Old man, do you think we can bring our grandchildren with us if we go to the county town?”

“…” Old man Heng said nothing.

“Looking at how many things he gave us, perhaps the Han family received more things. Maybe Han Qiao is biased.”

Old Man Heng still didn’t say anything.

Han Qiao was indeed biased.

The Han family had twice as many things as they did.

“I heard that the houses in town have already been built. If we don’t live in the county town, we can live in town. At that time, he would get a few servant girls and old women to serve us.”

Just thinking about it made them feel happy.

Heng Yi drove the carriage to Ninghe Town.

The three courtyards had already been opened, and the houses had also been built.

The main entrance led to the hall, and behind it was the kitchen and dining room.

On the left was the main courtyard, where Han Qiao and the other two could stay in the future. There were also a few rooms and a bathroom.

Two small courtyards were built on the right side, one for the boys and one for the girls.

The furniture and items in the house had already been arranged.

When the bedding was laid out and the mosquito net was hung up, it was really warm and comfortable..
