Han Qiao took him over. This child was very obedient. He whimpered twice in Han Qiao’s arms and stopped crying after rubbing his head against her.
Han Xiaohong heaved a sigh of relief.
“Sister Ah-Qiao.”
“This child is unwilling to stay here.”
She coaxed him for a while, but it was useless.
She started crying.
“I’m here to bring the two of them back.” Han Qiao said.
Han Xiaohong nodded. “Then I’ll go pack their things.”
“Xiaohong, just pack their clothes. There’s no need to pack anything else, and you don’t have to return the money to me.”
“That won’t do.” Han Xiaohong immediately refused.
Han Qiao hugged He Cheng. “Then 1’11 tell you something else.”
“I’m going to buy a lot of firewood. Anyway, I’ll buy it from others. You can discuss it with your family and see if you can do business with the firewood.”
“The two shops need a lot of firewood every day, and we need to use charcoal as well. If Brother-In-Law had a way to make charcoal, he could burn some and send it over.”
“Don’t go into the mountains to get it yourself. Just look for the villagers and tell them that you want to buy firewood.”
“Vegetables, radishes, eggs, beans, sweet potatoes are all fine, but you have to go outside and inquire about the price first, then buy them at a lower price than the outside price.”
Han Xiaohong was overjoyed.
These things didn’t look like much, but they could accumulate into something big.
Moreover, she had just taken a look and saw that her cousin had given her ten taels of silver.
“Sister Ah-Qiao, consider this money borrowed from us. We’ll return it to you when we earn money.”
“Alright.”
Han Qiao agreed.
Her money came from nowhere.
Han Xiaohong’s words were to her liking.
Leaving things behind and borrowing the money was good.
She originally wanted to talk about it next time. She had to sit down and talk about it slowly.
“Sister Ah-Qiao, Brother-In-Law, and I will go to the county town in two days. Can we talk about it slowly?”
“Alright.”
Han Xiaohong immediately packed up the two children’s clothes.
He Cheng hugged Han Qiao and refused to let go.
He was even twitching.
No matter how hard Han Qiao’s heart was, she couldn’t help but soften.
After getting into the carriage, the two children snuggled up in Han Qiao’s arms and refused to let go.
He Cheng quickly fell asleep and woke up in a short while. Seeing that he was still in Han Qiao’s arms, he quickly fell asleep again.
Sun Ke snuggled up to her and quickly fell asleep.
Han Qiao hugged He Cheng and sighed deeply.
She and Heng Yi had dug up the graves of her father and son in their previous lives, and now they were stuck with them.
She brought the children back to the manor.
Heng Yi had just come down from the mountain and had just arrived at the manor.
He had never gone into the mountains to hunt empty-handed. This time, he had hunted two wild boars that weighed more than 200 catties.
When he saw that Han Qiao had brought the two children back, he was surprised but thought that it was understandable.
Han Qiao had always been a soft-hearted person.
He Cheng woke up the moment they reached the manor.
He grabbed Han Qiao’s clothes nervously and refused to let go.
He even peed on Han Qiao.
Sun Ke had already gone to pick the grapefruits.
It was the ripe season for pomelos. They were moist and sweet, and both adults and children loved to eat them.
Heng Yi took the child. “I went into the mountains to hunt two wild boars. I left one in the village and took the other back. Big Brother and the others are already cleaning up.”
“Alright.”
The two sisters-in-law were boiling water in the kitchen. When they heard that Han Qiao had returned, they immediately came over to talk to her.
“Ah-Qiao.”
“Sister-In-Law.”
The two sisters-in-law came over to do the laundry and cook. They also helped Han Qiao collect chickens and buy eggs in the village.
“Now that we’ve collected more than 200 chickens, do you still want to collect them?”
“Those chickens need to eat food every day.”
Han Qiao smiled. “They’re laying eggs too.”
“That’s true.”
It seemed to be about the same.
The chickens also liked to eat wild grass, rice husks, and vegetable leaves.
They were not picky animals.
“Isn’t your restaurant open for business?” Sister Tang asked.
“It’ll take a few more days. The things 1 ordered aren’t ready yet.”
She had already thought of a restaurant that would specialize in hotpot and grilled fish.
She had ordered 3,000 catties of carbon, which could last until the end of the year.
However, the copper pot and iron plate were not ready yet.
The main reason was that she had ordered a lot and the blacksmith shop had not finished making them.
“It’s almost the twelfth lunar month. How are we going to make money if this drags on?”
“There’s no hurry.”
Puyi County didn’t have hotpot or grilled fish yet, so it would cause a sensation when she opened her restaurant.
She wanted to buy chicken and duck so that she could use chicken soup and duck soup when the time came.
She went out for a while and came back with the two children.
Grandma smiled. “I knew you would bring the two children back.”
He Cheng was fine, but Sun Ke and Han Qiao definitely couldn’t bear to be apart from one another.
Han Qiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Grandma understands me the best.”
Having an extra child in the house was no different than before. The only difference was that the child had to sleep next to Han Qiao at night.
Heng Yi had just gotten a taste of sex, and he wanted to do it every night.
On the twenty-third, Han Qiao started to feel uncomfortable and caught a cold.
The weather also turned cold.
“Achoo, achoo!”
Han Qiao kept sneezing.
Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke came to visit Han Qiao.
They carried Hecheng out to play so that he wouldn’t catch her cold.
Heng Yi felt extremely apologetic.
“It’s all my fault.”
Han Qiao smiled and pinched his face. “Write far away from me so that you don’t catch this too.”
“I’m strong and healthy. I’m not afraid.”
Han Qiao didn’t want to take the medicine, but she wouldn’t get better if she didn’t take it.
After being sick for two days, she felt better.
From the restaurant, the shopkeeper had also caught a cold and passed it on to the two chefs.
Han Qiao thought about it and decided not to open for business this year. She decided to open it on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
She told the waiters, chefs, and managers to go home and even gave them a month’s salary.
They recuperated for a few days after their illness.
It’s the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only 30 days left until the new year.
Han Qiao happily tidied up the things in the house. There have more than 10,000 salted duck eggs.
Food was also piled up in their houses.
She went to buy another shop, and the money Heng Yi brought back was basically used up.
All that was left was the 5,000 taels of silver she had earned from selling the printing technique.
On the second day of the lunar month, someone from the Feng family came.
It was Butler Feng.
“Lord Heng.”
“Butler Feng.”
Heng Yi invited Butler Feng to sit down.
Butler Feng nodded. After drinking tea, he looked at Bai Cha, who was standing at the side.
“Master Heng, the matter with Bai Cha isn’t settled yet.”
Heng Yi didn’t understand.
But Bai Cha did.
Was there something wrong?
