Chapter 55: A Family of Ghosts
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Logically speaking, Heng Yi should go back to the Heng family.
He thought for a moment and said, “Let’s stay at the inn.”
The house had either been left untidied or had become someone else’s house.
There was no point in going back.
It didn’t matter if they came or not tomorrow. He hoped that they wouldn’t come.
However, Heng Yi didn’t expect that his uncles were all staying in the inn.
For a moment, the few of them stared at each other.
White Tea was a clever person. He quickly asked the innkeeper to arrange a new room and prepare a table of food and wine.
Heng Yi looked at them silently. They wanted to talk to him, but didn’t know what to say.
It was too unfamiliar.
They met once a year, and Heng Yi went to visit them.
Heng Yi never talked to anyone.
He left silently.
First Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fifth Uncle looked at each other.
“Heng Yi, have you thought it through?” First Uncle asked.
If he really wanted to marry a divorced woman with three children…
“Yes!
Heng Yi said without hesitation.
Uncle Heng was surprised. “Alright, as long as you’ve thought it through.”
Then, there was silence again.
During dinner, Big Uncle Heng asked if the betrothal gifts were ready.
Heng Yi nodded.
He was too lazy to talk.
Firstly, his wound hurt, and secondly, he felt uncomfortable.
White Tea immediately went forward and poured wine for Uncle. “Is there anyone else coming?”
“Not at the moment, but Heng Yi’s grandma wants to come. She’s too old to walk though.”
“Then I’ll drive the carriage to pick her up. Anyway, we have a carriage, so it’s convenient to pick her up.”
White Tea was still worried that Heng Yi’s parents wouldn’t come.
White Tea looked at Heng Yi.
Heng Yi nodded.
White Tea quickly agreed. “Then I’ll go over in a while. Please help me lead the way, Fifth Uncle.”
“Good, good, good!” Fifth Uncle Heng hurriedly said.
He looked at Heng Yi. How should he put it? He looked different.
He was still the same person, but his bearing was different.
Perhaps he had changed into new clothes. After all, clothes make the man.
After White Tea settled down, they added another room.
He went to fetch Granny Heng.
As soon as he left, Third Brother Hu and He Hong entered the inn.
The two of them hit it off and chatted happily.
Heng Yi looked at the two of them and nodded.
“I’ve already spoken to the butcher about the pork. It’ll be delivered tomorrow morning. The driver of the carriage is staying in this inn. Have you seen him?” Third Brother Hu asked.
Heng Yi shook his head.
Third Brother Hu didn’t mind. “Are you feeling better? Can you hold on?”
“Yes!
Third Brother Hu patted Heng Yi’s shoulder. “Go and rest. Leave it to me.”
Heng Yi nodded.
He stood up slowly. “He Hong, come with me.”
He Hong followed silently.
“What’s going on between you and your wife?” Heng Yi asked after they entered the house.
“..”He Hong said nothing.
“Sister-in-law’s body isn’t feeling well. Or something else? Why isn’t Cheng ‘er here?”
He Hong’s originally straight back slowly bent. “Big Brother Heng, I…”
“That day, I gave Mother Huan some medicine to stabilize her pregnancy, but she was too agitated and miscarried. Now, she cries all day and makes a fuss whenever she doesn’t see Cheng ‘er. She …” He Hong looked exhausted.
His eyes gradually filled with pain.
“Did you tell her?”
“I don’t know where to start. I don’t knowhow to start.”
Heng Yi was silent for a moment before saying, “maybe I shouldn’t go to the county.”
“Big brother Heng, please don’t say that. I didn’t manage her well, she didn’t trust me, and she was greedy.”
Many things were made clear from the beginning.
“Even now, she still doesn’t know her mistake. She’s still using her body and Cheng ‘er to force me to compromise.”
No matter how much love he had, it would gradually dissipate after he realized that he was not as important as money in Zhao Huanniang’s heart.
“Then why don’t you give in to her?” Heng Yi said.
If it were him, he would definitely not let Sister Ah Qiao suffer like this.
Money could be earned again.
However, he only had one person he loved.
Heng Yi sighed. “As men, why not let our wives have their way?”
“If you really want to fight, you can beat someone half to death with a kick, a slap, and a punch. In that case, why did you have to marry her back then? Are you happy to see her sad?”
They were just torturing each other.
No one wanted to admit defeat or admit defeat.
“Big brother Heng, I’ll apologize to Mother Huan when we get back. Don’t worry, we’ll live a good life from now on.”
“Okay!”
Heng Yi nodded.
He had just taken his medicine, and now he was drowsy and wanted to sleep.
He would rest well and head to Xishan Village early tomorrow.
The marriage was set and the date of the wedding was chosen.
“Big brother Heng, rest early.”
After He Hong left the room, he realized that he wasn’t as carefree as Heng Yi.
He didn’t see as clearly as Heng Yi.
The Heng family couldn’t sleep.
They sat together and discussed whether they should go to Xishan Village tomorrow morning.
“I found out that Heng Yi bought a pig, a calf, and a lot of other things. I heard that he bought clothes for the four seasons and gold and silver bracelets…” Old Woman Heng said angrily.
The more he thought about it, the angrier she got.
She felt her heart ache.
“I can’t, I can’t. I can’t breathe.”
Old Woman Heng pounded her heart.
The four daughters-in-law immediately calmed her down.
She raised her hand and waved them away. “No, we can’t let him marry the Han Corporation.”
The Han family looked docile, but they knew how to live.
Now, she even had the guts to divorce Sun Yiming.
“Ah, do you think the two of them have long been together?”
Old Woman Heng slapped her thigh and said, “alright, I was wondering why that little b * tch would dare to divorce Sun Yiming. Heng Yi, that ungrateful wretch, asked for a divorce. It seems like they’ve been together for a long time.”
Old Woman Heng felt that she had seen the truth.
The other members of the Heng family also felt that this was the truth.
Otherwise, how would the Han Corporation dare to divorce? Heng Yi dared to go against his family?
“Damn it!” Old Woman Heng cursed.
“No, I have to go to Xishan Village tomorrow and teach the Han family how to raise their daughter.”
“They should be dragged into a pig cage.”
The Heng family fell silent.
This adulterous couple had actually hooked up long ago.
Earlier, they had thought that the Han Corporation was pitiful, but now that they thought about it, it was simply hateful.
This time, not only did Old Woman Heng’s heart and lungs hurt, but the others also felt their hearts and lungs hurt.
Because if Heng Yi didn’t bring the prey home, it would cut off the family’s source of income.
A hundred wen a day and not earning a single cent a day, the difference was too great.
“All of you will come with me to the Han family tomorrow, hmph…”
Old Woman Heng gritted her teeth in hatred.
She looked at Old Man Heng. “Old man, what do you say?”
Old man Heng was silent.
He said slowly, “looking at Fifth Brother’s attitude, I’m afraid he won’t marry anyone other than the Han family.”
“Why don’t we take a step back and let him marry the Han family first, but the condition is that they have to live in the town after they get married.”
Let’s see how they do it..
