Chapter 47: Completely Out of Control
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This was the first time in Han Qiao’s life that someone had confessed to her like this.
In her previous life, although she did not get married and have children, she had a few boyfriends.
No matter how one looked at it, she had never met a man as honest and genuine as Heng Yi.
His words were sincere and touching.

Han Qiao took a deep breath.
“Take a seat first. I’ll let the three children in. Let’s make some things clear from the beginning.”
Han Qiao opened the door. Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were all standing at the door.
“Come in.”
The three daughters entered the house, and Han Qiao had them stand in a row. “You heard what your Fifth Uncle Heng said just now. I’m going to ask you now. If Fifth Uncle Heng becomes your father, are you willing?”
Heng Yi was so nervous that his hair stood on end.
His heart was particularly perturbed.
“I’m willing!” Sun Ke hurriedly said.
Sun Yi didn’t even have time to cover her mouth.
Sun Xiu looked at Han Qiao, then at Heng Yi, and said seriously, “I’m willing.”
Sun Yi actually thought more and her thoughts were heavy.
However, she knew very well that having a father was completely different from not having a father.
Even if this person was not her biological father, it was still different to have a man at home.
“I’m willing too!” Sun Yi’s voice was soft, but she still agreed with Heng Yi.
Hearing that, Heng Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to Father Han and Mother Han, he was more afraid of facing Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke.
Han Qiao looked at the three children. “Ah Xiu, Ah Yi, go to Grandpa’s house now and invite Grandpa and Grandma over. Just say that I have something important to discuss with them.”
“Okay!” The two sisters replied.
They went to the Han family together.
Han Qiao asked Heng Yi to sit in the hall while she took Sun Ke to the backyard to clean up the house.
Actually, there was nothing much to tidy up in the house.
Heng Yi came over with his bundle, and Han Qiao opened it.
Two sets of clothes, pants, and underpants that hadn’t been washed were torn and dirty.
Seeing Han Qiao pick it up and look at it with disgust, Heng Yi’s face instantly burned.
“I, I, I…”
Han Qiao sighed.
Heng Yi was actually quite pitiful.
He earned a lot in a year, but he didn’t eat well or wear good clothes.
The Heng family had really let him down.
“I’ll get White Tea to buy some fabric from the county town another day. I’ll make a few new outfits for you.” Han Qiao said.
Heng Yi was overjoyed. “Good.”
He thought that he would go to town to buy some fabric and bring it back overnight. Han Qiao would be able to make it for him tomorrow.
In the future, he would be responsible for earning money to support the family. Han Qiao would just stay at home and do the housework. She did not have to go to the mountains to dig for herbs. It was so hard and tiring, and she would not earn much money.
Han Qiao glanced at Heng Yi without saying anything.
The bed in this room was Han Qiao’s dowry, and she had brought it back this time. Two days ago, Han Qiao had washed it seriously, and there was nothing inappropriate about it.
Father Han and Mrs. Han arrived very quickly.
Seeing Heng Yi at Han Qiao’s house, the couple was surprised.
Before Han Qiao could say anything, Heng Yi had already knelt down and sincerely expressed that he wanted to marry her.
He would live in Xishan Village in the future.
If the Han family didn’t want Han Qiao to marry, he could marry into the family and give birth to a child with the surname Han.
Father Han asked Heng Yi to get up.
He believed in Heng Yi’s sincerity, but marrying into his family was a matter of pride. Heng Yi was willing, but he wouldn’t agree.
A person’s life was too long. Being willing at this moment did not mean that he would be willing in the future.
“Heng Yi, if you really like my Qiao, you have to call your parents and ask a matchmaker to come and ask for your hand in marriage.”
Heng Yi nodded.
“Uncle is right. Which day do you think will be a good day? I’ll go and propose marriage that day.”

Father Han and Mrs. Han were stunned.
He could see Heng Yi’s eagerness.
Father Han asked Han Yuanshi to call a few brothers over. They had to choose a good date for the marriage proposal. Uncle Yao had some understanding of the almanac.
Besides, Han Qiao and Heng Yi’s matter wasn’t a small matter.
It was a big deal for the Han family.
After they got married, Heng Yi became the son-in-law of the Han family, and became closer to Dacheng and the others.
It was definitely different in all aspects.
Uncle Yao smiled and patted Heng Yi on the shoulder. “I thought you were going to hold it in. I didn’t expect you to say it today.”

What happened next was out of Han Qiao’s control.
The Han family’s requirements were simple. They could not lack three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. As for how many betrothal gifts they gave, they were free to do so. They wanted to marry officially and not let Han Qiao marry without knowing the reason.
After the wedding, Heng Yi would live in West Mountain Village.
As for whether or not they would go to Ninghe Town, that was a matter for Han Qiao and Heng Yi to decide for themselves.
After a moment of silence, Heng Yi said, “I want to buy a set of gold and silver jewelry for Sister Qiao. I want clothes for the four seasons, shoes and socks. The betrothal gift is nine taels and nine silver coins.”
“The rest…” Heng Yi looked at Han Qiao.
Han Qiao was still a little stunned.
Because she had not been given the chance to speak when discussing the marriage and engagement.
The uncles agreed with each other.
“I’ll ask others about the rest.”
The date of the marriage proposal was the second day of August, and they still needed to go and check their birth characters.
On the day of the marriage proposal, they decided on the date of their wedding.
When Han Yuanshi heard Heng Yi say that the betrothal gift was nine taels, he was stunned.
This was too much.
After all, this betrothal gift was given to her family, so there was no need to return it.
Her family would also buy some dowry, but it was nothing more than cheap things like bedding, boxes, beds, and cabinets.
After Heng Yi left empty-handed, the Han family sat in Han Qiao’s house. After a while, the youngest uncle said, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. My niece is so lucky.”
Han Qiao thought of the silver notes that Han Yi had given her and the things he had left behind. She silently took them to the house in the backyard.
She was still a little confused.
Wasn’t she moving into her new home today? Why was she suddenly talking about her marriage?
And no one asked her if she was willing?
In the eyes of the Han Family, Heng Yi was a man worthy of being entrusted with her life.
Han Yuanshi entered the room and asked Han Qiao, “Did Heng Yi say how much silver he had?”
“He has given me everything he has now. He also said that he would look for someone to buy a house. From the looks of it, he will probably go and get it back.”

Han Yuanshi was stunned.
“He’s giving it to you just like that?”
“Yes, he did!”
After a while, Han Yuanshi said, “Live a good life with Heng Yi. He’s more reliable than Sun Yiming.”
At this point, it would be unreasonable to reject him.
Not to mention, there was no chance to refuse. The Han Family wouldn’t allow it, and Heng Yi wouldn’t either.
Heng Yi was indeed a good person. He didn’t have any thoughts, and he wasn’t the kind of person who had high expectations but low abilities. He was down-to-earth and cautious.
She did not hate him.
On the contrary, he actually attracted her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rejected him completely and agreed half-heartedly.
“Mother, don’t worry. I will.”
When they had dinner at Han Qiao’s place that night, her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law congratulated Han Qiao while teasing her.
Han Xiang bit her lip.
She still couldn’t understand why her family was so happy about a hunter, as if they had found a treasure..
