The weather was hot, and the pastries couldnât stand the heat.
He bought porkâs hock to make soup for the night. He also bought pork, which he could cut into pieces to make dumplings.
Han Qiao liked it, and so did the three children.
The carriage was faster than when they arrived, and it was already noon when they returned to West Mountain Village.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were making pouches. When they saw Heng Yi, they immediately stood up. âFifth Uncle Heng, Uncle White Tea.â
Seeing Heng Yi carrying two beautiful and delicate food boxes, the three childrenâs eyes lit up.
âTake the pork hock to the kitchen first and cover them with a small dustpan.
Come and eat the pastries and candied fruits.â Heng Yi said softly.
He carried her things into Han Qiaoâs room.
Han Qiao leaned on the bed and smiled at him.
Heng Yi laughed too.
If
I bought pastries, candied fruits, and preserved fruits. Try which one you like. Iâll buy more next time.â
âBought it in the county?â
Heng Yi nodded.
âTake it to the central room first. Iâll wash my face and rinse my mouth. Tell Xiu and the others not to move. Iâll bring some to Grandma.â
âAlright.
If
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke didnât make a move even though they were drooling.
Han Qiao came over and took a look at them.
She opened a packet for the three children to eat first.
The other ones were to be packed and sent off with Heng Yi.
One for each family. One more for uncleâs family. You can give it to Grandma personally.â
âAlright.
If
By the time Heng Yi left with the food, the three children were already eating like little mice.
Han Qiao also took a piece and put it into her mouth, revealing a satisfied expression.
Heng Yi took a look and the corners of his lips curled up.
When Heng Yi sent the things over, his aunts were happy, but said it was too expensive.
âThese things are so expensive. Donât buy them next time.â
Heng Yi smiled dryly.
He didnât know how to reply, so he said that he was going to the next shop, put down his things, and left.
It made his aunts laugh.
If Han Qiao came over, they would definitely be able to chat for a long time and talk about anything.
Heng Yi could talk to grandpa.
Grandpa didnât have anything to say, so he asked who he was. Why did she give him such delicious snacks?
If
Iâm your grandson-in-law.â
âOh, grandson-in-law? Which granddaughter?â
âAh Qiao.
If
Grandpa thought for a moment and said, âoh, which granddaughter?â
Grandma was overjoyed.
âYou should go and do what you have to do. You donât have to take care of him. Heâs old and muddle-headed.â
Heng Yi stood up. âGrandma, Iâll go back first.
If
âGo, go!â
Heng Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he returned home.
Seeing this, Han Qiao couldnât help but laugh. âGrandpa must have kept him.
If
âYes!

Grandpa is a very kind old man, and Grandma is even kinder. At that time, I wanted to get a divorce, but Grandma was afraid that I didnât have money, so she gave me a tael of silver.â
Han Qiao exhaled lightly. âItâs not easy for them to save one tael of silver.â
Every year, her sons would give her money for filial piety, but she had to express her gratitude when her grandchildren got married and when her granddaughters got married. In a year, she really could not save up money.
She even gave her one tael.
It
I have never dared to use this silver, nor am I willing to use it.â Han Qiao held Heng Yiâs rough hand. âHeng Yi, after we get married, can you bring me to stay with you?â
âOkay!â
Heng Yi agreed without thinking.
âYou make the decisions at home. You can do whatever you want.â
Heng Yi then told Han Qiao about how Old Lady Sun had ruined their reputation.
Han Qiao snorted after hearing that. âThis old woman is really vicious. It should be because Old Man Sun hasnât returned yet. If he was at home, he wouldnât let his wife and children do this. Old Man Sun is the best at scheming.
II
Old Lady Sun is not a good person either, and neither is Sun Yixi. You have to be careful not to fall into their trap in the future.â
Han Qiao was afraid that Heng Yi didnât understand, so she explained it to him in detail.
âThe only thing they would do is to find trouble with Mr. Liuzi and lure you into action. Then, find a beautiful girl to hang around in front of you and cause an argument between you and me.â
Heng Yi was dumbfounded.
He could do this?
Seeing this, Han Qiao knew that this was a silly person.
II
But donât be afraid. As long as youâre upright, weâll deal with whatever comes our way. Why should we be afraid of him?â
âAlso, your parents are definitely involved in this matter.â
II
II
Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao in surprise.
II
Itâs just that we didnât find any evidence. We can only say that your father is better at chess. Even if all the people in your family put together, they canât compare to your father.â
II
II
Heng Yi didnât expect this.
âYour mother is fierce, but your father is the one who makes the decisions in your family. If you have anything to say, donât tell your mother. Itâs better to talk to your father.â
As they chatted, the fragrance of stewed pork trotters came from the kitchen.
Han Qiao smiled. âXiu and Yiâs culinary skills are getting better and better.â
The two sisters were really capable.
In the beginning, she was worried that they wouldnât do well, but the two sisters did very well. They did the laundry, cooked, swept the floor, and fed the chickens. She really didnât have to worry about them at all.
Because of the nutritious food, the three sisters had obviously grown taller and looked better.
She had been tanned a little, but after not going out these days, she had become fair again.
Heng Yi gently placed his hand on Han Qiaoâs abdomen. âSister Qiao, do you regret it?â
Of course not.
If
Giving up now was much better than regretting it later.
Besides, she was Han Qiao, but also not Han Qiao.
She didnât like a scumbag like Sun Yiming, and it was even more impossible for her to give birth to his children.
Moreover, what would others say after this child was born?
He said that this child was Sun Yimingâs? Or her and Heng Yi?
No matter which one it was, it was not a good thing.
âWe will have our children in the future.â
Heng Yiâs eyes lit up. âHow many?â
âThree?â
Heng Yi nodded hard. âMy children are fine. I love them.â
Such an honest appearance was really rare.
Han Qiao tilted her head and gently kissed him on the lips.
Heng Yiâs eyes reddened. âDonât,â he said shyly, âthey will come in. Itâs not good to see them.â
Han Qiao burst out laughing.
The two of them always had a touch of warmth and pink bubbles when they got along.
Heng Yi was a young man who had just fallen in love, and Han Qiao liked to kiss him, touch him, hug him, and tease him.
Every time, his face would turn red and his eyes would turn red.
It was emotional, but also moved.
The next day, when Han Qiao saw the phoenix coronet and wedding gown from the clothing store, her eyes couldnât help but turn red.
II
So beautiful.
II
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi shouted in unison.
There was surprise in her eyes.
Sun Ke reached out and touched it gently. âMother, it looks so good.â
Han Qiao looked at Heng Yi and suddenly laughed.
She went into the house to try it out, and the three children immediately followed her.
The size was just right, neither loose nor tight.
She didnât send it to Heng Yi. She wanted him to see it on the day of their wedding.
The person who gave the wedding dress was stunned.
She was a country bumpkin, and her second marriage was actually loved so much by her future husband. It really made others envious.
When the Han family received the news, they all looked at it curiously. The clothes were hanging on the rack, and the embroidery was exquisite. They couldnât take their eyes off it.
âMother, I want to learn embroidery.â Sun Xiu said softly.
She mustered up her courage..
