Chapter 56: Not Selling Our Daughter
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
One had to admit that old man Heng was much more calculative than his family.
He wanted to test Heng Yi’s bottom line.
Old Woman Heng stopped talking.
The others also fell silent.
“Well all go tomorrow morning.” Old Man Heng said firmly.
A family of more than twenty people were going.
It was also good to have a free meal at the Han family’s house. Moreover, they did not have to walk to and from the house.
He also wanted to see what kind of family the Han family was.
The Heng family members fell asleep with different thoughts.
They tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Heng Yi couldn’t sleep in the inn either.
He missed Han Qiao and wanted to sleep in that room with the fragrance of wood and soap.
He thought about how Han Qiao had gently wiped his sweat and fed him medicine when he was dizzy from the fever.
Heng Yi slowly sat up and leaned against the bed.
He didn’t look forward to the arrival of dawn like he did at this moment.
He couldn’t sleep.
He didn’t want to sleep either. He was afraid that he would miss the time.
When dawn broke, White Tea came in, and Heng Yi sat on the bed.
“Master Heng, you didn’t sleep last night?”
Heng Yi said nothing.
White Tea immediately fetched water to wash Heng Yi’s face and mouth.
When he opened the things that Han Qiao had prepared for him, he couldn’t help but sigh.
As expected of someone with a heart.
When Heng Yi was done washing up, he took out the bag that Han Qiao had prepared. He opened it and found a sapphire blue shirt, matching pants, shoes, white socks, and white underwear.

White Tea was jealous.
I’m happy for Heng Yi.
It was no wonder that he had plunged headfirst into such a person who knew his place.
It was said that people were in high spirits when they were happy. Heng Yi was injured, but he acted as if nothing had happened to him.
Third Brother Hu, He Hong, and White Tea went in and out to prepare and check. They told those who hadn’t eaten breakfast to quickly eat buns and wontons.
Matchmaker Wang was more enthusiastic than anyone else. She smiled warmly and said, “Master Heng, everything is ready. Shall we set off?”
“Okay, we’ll set off in a while!”
This line was really lively. Many people were asking.
“That hunter went to Xishan Village to make the decision.”
“Who?
“The Han woman that divorced the Sun scholar.”
This was very explosive.
The Han family, Sun Yiming, and their divorce caused a huge commotion in Ninghe Town, and now, she had married Heng Yi with her three daughters.
This was Heng Yi’s first marriage, and he could earn money by hunting.
This engagement was done in a carriage…
They even used several mule carts to pull things.
“There’s a calf.”
“Oh my god…”
At this moment, some people could not help but wonder if the two of them had long been together since they lived next door. So Han qiao divorced and remarried Heng Yi.
That Han woman was not bad looking.
But the onlookers were still envious.
“This is the first time in Ninghe Town that a calf has been used for a betrothal.”
“You’re ignorant. Did you see those two big white geese? Have you seen it before? Have you seen that fat pig that weighs a few hundred pounds? Have you seen the things on the mule cart?”
“Even sugar is 20 catties, not to mention salt, flour, and rice.”
“There’s also cloth and gold and silver bracelets.”
“How do you know so much?”
“Matchmaker Wang said so. She bought it along with him. How could she not know?”
Heng Yi stood there unmoving, letting the others discuss.
Whether it was Han Qiao, the divorce, or the three children, he didn’t care.
He only wanted Han Qiao.
When the Heng family rushed over, they found out that Heng Yi had invited them for breakfast.
Meat buns, wontons.
Old Woman Heng hurriedly said, “old Fifth, we haven’t had breakfast yet.”
Heng Yi looked at the nearly thirty people of the Heng family. “Go eat.”
He didn’t want them to be like starving ghosts when they arrived at the Han family’s residence.
“Alright, alright!”
Old Woman Heng quickly dragged Old Man Heng to eat breakfast.
She wanted to eat five meat buns and a bowl of wontons.
When the Heng family went over, all the shops selling steamed buns and wontons were shocked.
The main reason was that they could eat too much.
It was too late.
In the end, they did not even let go of the steamed buns and even took some away.
The children were shouting and shouting, and they almost fought over a meat bun.
When they set off, the sun was almost out.
Heng Yi’s face darkened as he watched Old Woman Heng shout for her grandsons and granddaughters to get into the carriage.
Old man Heng walked up to Heng Yi. “Fifth…”
“I don’t wish for any accidents to happen today. I have a family now. I thank you for your help. No…” Heng Yi looked at Old Heng. “I won’t let the Heng family have it easy.”
After saying that, Heng Yi asked White Tea to help him onto the carriage.
Old man Heng’s face turned ashen.
The hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.
“Old man, old man, come up quickly.”
Old man Heng got into the carriage with a dark face.
“What did Heng Yi say to you?” Old Woman Heng asked.
Old man Heng said nothing.
He didn’t have the face to say that Heng Yi threatened him. He better not cause trouble today.
Old Woman Heng saw that Old Man Heng’s expression was not good, and she immediately did not dare to speak.
It took them about two hours to reach West Mountain Village by horse carriage.
The Han Family was almost ready, waiting for Heng Yi to come.
Han Qiao was also wearing a red dress and her hair was tied up in a bun.
“Coming, coming.”
Han Qiao was pushed to the front.
He saw Heng Yi walking in front, his eyes glued to her.
Behind him, there were people driving geese, leading calves, carrying pork, carrying a pole, and He Hong holding a plate in his hand. The gold and silver bangles were dazzling.
Matchmaker Wang went up enthusiastically and praised Han Qiao, then praised Father Han and Mrs. Han for raising their daughter.
Heng Yi wanted to say something to Han Qiao, but his mouth was clumsy.
He looked at Han Qiao with a smile on his face.
Han Qiao approached him and asked softly, “are you feeling better?”
“Yes, much better!” Heng Yi said softly.
Although the two of them had only spoken a few words, it could be seen that they were not married blindly or by their parents ‘orders. Instead, they had chosen each other.
Old Woman Heng had been in pain ever since she got off the carriage.
This prodigal thing.
There were so many things, pigs and calves.
She really wanted to faint.
When the Han family saw the calf, their eyes lit up.
Uncle Yao rubbed his hands.
Father Han asked someone to sit in the house and serve tea and water.
The melon seeds and peanuts were quickly served.
The Han family suddenly became lively.
Although they were all children, there was still a comparison.
The children of the Han family were all clean and obedient under Han Qiao’s guidance.
They entered the central room and began to discuss their marriage.
Matchmaker Wang praised Han Qiao and Heng Yi.
She read out the betrothal gift.
Heng Yi’s request was simple. Apart from the four seasons clothes and the gold and silver bracelets for Han Qiao’s dowry, the rest would be given to the Han family.
“What?
Old Woman Heng cried out.
Not to mention Old Woman Heng, even the Han family members were stunned.
This, these things cost twenty to thirty taels of silver, and they were all given to the Han family?
“Fifth brother, you’re crazy.” Old Woman Heng screamed.
Heng Yi lowered his voice. “Mother, sit down!”
Old Man Heng glanced at Old Woman Heng and said coldly, “sit down!”
Old Woman Heng was furious.
Her eyes were red. “There’s no such thing as an engagement.”
Father Han added, “we’re marrying our daughter off, not selling her. We’ll give her a lot of dowry..”
