Chapter 62: A Bowl of Medicine
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Honestly speaking, it was for the best that she didn’t give birth to this child.
Regardless if it was for both Han Qiao and Heng Yi, so the Han family didn’t try to persuade Han Qiao.
Han Yuanshi came over. She had delivered a few grandsons and granddaughters at home, and she had also been keeping an eye on her daughter-in-law’s miscarriage.
In the house, Han Qiao drank the medicine and had yet to act up, so she prepared hot water in the kitchen.
This confinement period was quite annoying. Heng Yi wanted her to come over and take care of the three meals a day and wash the clothes. He couldn’t let the children do all the work.
Moreover, after Han Qiao had a miscarriage, she could also take the opportunity to recuperate.
Inside the house.
Han Qiao was lying on the bed, and Heng Yi was holding her hand.
He watched as she went from being calm at the beginning to being in pain later on. Her forehead was covered in sweat and she even let out a slight moan. Because of the pain, her usually gentle face gradually distorted.
He was invited out of the room by Han Yuanshi.
Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt also came to help. Heng Yi stood at the door, watching them go in and out. The basin in his hand was stained with blood.
He couldn’t stand it anymore and found a place to sit down.
His head was buzzing.
In fact, he knew that he could raise the child if she gave birth to it.
However, Han Qiao really didn’t want this child. He was a little happy that she had cut off all ties with Sun Yiming.
The medicine prescribed by the old doctor was really overbearing. In the evening, Han Qiao felt a surge of hot blood as she sat on the urinal.
Then, the pain in her stomach suddenly disappeared.
As she heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes could not help but redden.
Tears instantly fell from the corners of her eyes.
Han Yuanshi quickly comforted her, “live a good life with Heng Yi in the future. You’ll have children eventually.”
“Okay.”
Han Qiao nodded.
This was her own choice. She could not blame anyone else.
After he was done packing, there was another bowl of medicine.
In the middle of the night, Han Qiao woke up and had another round of blood loss. According to Han Yuanshi, this was to clean up.
In the following days, she could not live without medicine.
When the doctor came to change Heng Yi’s dressing, he checked her pulse.
“Take good care of yourself. With your body, you might not be able to endure it even if you really give birth to this child. Take care of yourself and recuperate.
You’ll be able to get pregnant again very soon after you get married.”
Because of Han Qiao’s incident, the 15th of the month was not well.
White Tea had sent over mooncakes from the county town in the morning, as well as some cooked food. Han Qiao asked Sun Xiu to send a portion to the Han family and the grandparents, leaving the rest for them to eat.
White Tea didn’t know how to cook, but he knew how to do all the housework. Sun Xiu and Sun Yi’s cooking skills were pretty good, so Han Qiao was assured to let them do whatever they wanted.
Because she had eaten well, recuperated well, and had taken medicine to recuperate, Han Qiao looked much better.
The three children seemed to have become sensible again overnight.
Heng Yi became more and more silent. When he sat in Han Qiao’s room, no one knew what he was thinking.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Heng Yi’s wounds had already scabbed over. He went out with White Tea in the morning and returned in the evening. He handed Han Qiao a key, two deeds, and a blueprint.

Han Qiao took it and asked him, “did you get this in exchange for hunting a tiger?”
“Yes!” Heng Yi nodded.
Han Qiao wanted to ask him if it was worth it. However, she felt that it would be pretentious to ask such a question.
Who was he risking his life for? She knew it all too well.
“Where will we get married?” Han Qiao asked.
“I’ll go to the town to take a look. If there’s no preparation there, we’ll get married at the residence in Puyi County.”
“No!
It
Han Qiao interrupted Heng Yi. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just don’t trust your family.”
“You have also seen it. The way they are…”
Han Qiao thought for a moment and said, “you should go to town and take a look. Just do as we said.”
He would get married in Ninghe Town and move to Xishan Village.
Han Qiao and Heng Yi didn’t know that in the Town of Ninghe, rumors had spread that the two of them had been having an affair overnight.
Otherwise, how could a woman dare to mention divorce? She even succeeded.
August 17th
White Tea drove the carriage to the Heng family in Ninghe Town.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Mother Zhen came out of the house. “Heng Yi?”
She was surprised at first, then her eyes were filled with joy.
She walked over and wanted to say a few words to Heng Yi, but he ignored her and walked into the Heng family.
The Heng family was filthy everywhere, and Old Woman Heng was cursing her daughters-in-law for not working.
The children swarmed up to Heng Yi. “Uncle, uncle, when are you going to take us to the Han family’s house to eat?”

Heng Yi was silent.
When he was in the Han family, he had never seen any child of the Han family thinking about other people’s food.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were even more diligent. They worked together to tidy up the house properly and cleanly.
They even took good care of the vegetable field in the courtyard.
When Old Woman Heng saw Heng Yi, she burst into tears. “Old Fifth, you’re finally back. You’re so cruel. You abandoned your parents for a vixen.”
“You don’t know what the outside world is saying about you guys. It’s really ugly…”

Heng Yi was silent.
White Tea, who was at the entrance of the courtyard, was stunned as she thought about stopping the carriage at Broker’s house.
“Fifth Brother!

“No matter what rumors are spreading outside, it’s best that they have nothing to do with you. Otherwise…”
Heng Yi glanced around.
His eyes were filled with ruthlessness and killing intent. “You won’t let me off easily and push me to hell. Then let’s go to hell together!”
“My cheap life for twenty or so members of the Heng family, it’s worth it!”
Frightened by Heng Yi’s words, Old Woman Heng stumbled back a few steps.
She clutched her chest and trembled, unable to speak.
“I always keep my word.” Heng Yi turned around and walked out.
White Tea quickly invited him to the carriage.
He drove the carriage to Broker’s Store.
In the Heng family, it took a long time for Old Woman Heng to come back to her senses and cry.
She was really shocked by the killing intent in Heng Yi’s eyes.
She stumbled into the house and found Old Man Heng. “Old man, old man, did you hear me? He said, that ungrateful bastard said …”
If she didn’t let him live well, he would kill them.
Old man Heng heard him.
They all said that honest people should not be bullied. When honest people were furious, they would not recognize their relatives.
When Heng Yi said that, not only was Old Woman Heng scared, but he was also scared.
Old man Heng was also afraid.
When a person disregarded everything, it was the most terrifying.
Heng Yi arrived at Broker’s Store.
After learning that Third Brother Hu had gone out and Father Hu was not in good health, his son-in-law helped to take care of him for two days.
He knew who he was when he saw Heng Yi. “Brother-in-law went out.”
“How is Uncle’s health?”
Hu Laosan’s brother-in-law shook his head. “It’s not good just like that.”
“I’ll go take a look!”
However, Heng Yi just sat there and didn’t know what to say.
On the other hand, Father Hu thanked Heng Yi for the ginseng he gave him last time and said that his body felt much better after taking it. He asked when Heng Yi was getting married? He would go and ask for a wedding wine to drink.
“The third day of September. It should be held in a restaurant. Come then.”
“Good, good. Heng Yi, you must be happy.” Father Hu patted Heng Yi’s hand.
He had watched this child grow up. He was honest and dutiful. He was a rare good child.
The Heng family was heartless…
“Have you been to your master’s place?”
Heng Yi shook his head.
Back then, Heng Yi brought his prey to his master’s place, and Old Woman Heng made a scene. His master then cut off all contact with Heng Yi and didn’t allow him to come.
“Heng Yi, your master has treated you well..”
