“Old Man, this is a little too much.” Han Yuan choked.
Her heart was in a mess.
Father Han gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke them.
He looked at the carriage in front of him and at the coachman who was standing at the side as if he was blind and deaf to the conversation they just had.
He felt his face burning. It was painful and hot.
He wanted to pull his wife out of the carriage and return to the house. He wanted to bring Han Xiang and his two grandsons back to Xishan Village.
He didn’t want anything anymore and returned it all to Han Qiao, pretending that they never had this daughter.
However, just as this thought arose, it went away.
He couldn’t bear to part with his current wealthy and comfortable life.
He didn’t have to do farm work, he didn’t have to go out early and return late, he ate and drank evenly, and his clothes were clean. Han Qiao gave the family money, good food, good wine, and good tea. Although he wasn’t a top-notch rich man, he lived a comfortable life compared to when he was still in Xishan Village and everyone he knew.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After living a good life, who would want to return to the remote Xishan Village?
Therefore, he did not dare to speak.
He could only hold his breath and get into the carriage, sitting next to Han Yuan.
They returned to the house behind Ji Min Hall.
When Heng Yi returned to the main courtyard, he heard Han Qiao ordering Shulan to bring Han Chi a bowl of lotus seed soup from the kitchen.
“That child, haa…”
Parents would worry when their children do not study hard.
But parents would also worry when their children study so hard that they forget to sleep.
Han Qiao was afraid that Han Chi would overwork his body.
“Tell him to sleep early and don’t keep staying up late.” Han Qiao said, her voice drenched in worry.
“Please be quick. Put less sugar in it… It’s better not to put sugar in it yet. Take the sugar jar with the soup and let him put it in himself. It’s not good to eat too much sugar at night.”
“Please hurry.”
“Yes,” Shulan responded and bowed to Heng Yi when she saw him.
“Go ahead.” Heng Yi said.
He strode into the room.
Han Qiao saw Heng Yi come in, “Go and look after our son. I’ll go wash up.”
She had just given birth, so she couldn’t take a bath.©
It was a sunny day for washing hair and bathing. The maids had already placed a few charcoal braziers in the house earlier in the afternoon.
She only wiped her face with a handkerchief and dipped her feet in hot water.
At most, the handkerchief would be a little wet.
“You can go.”
Heng Yi said gently and went forward to accompany his baby.
Coincidentally, he wanted to go to the washroom to clean himself up.
After changing into cleaner clothes, Han Qiao asked Heng Yi, “Have they returned home?”
“They have.”
Han Qiao snorted and talked about Ah-Yao farting just now.
“Aiyo, you didn’t smell it, but it really stinks. He didn’t eat anything that he shouldn’t have. Nanny’s meals are mainly light, so why is he farting?” Han Qiao crawled into the bed from the corner and knelt down.
Her clothes were loose.
Heng Yi noticed her skin underneath and then looked away.
He was afraid that he would do something worse than a beast.
Han Qiao just gave birth to a child, and after one month, they hadn’t had s.e.x. Heng Yi wanted Han Qiao to recuperate, but Han Qiao didn’t think it was better to have s.e.x later.
“Tightened your clothes. If you show me again, I won’t be able to hold myself,” Heng Yi said hoa.r.s.ely.
Han Qiao was stunned.
She looked up at Heng Yi and saw him staring at her chest.
She lifted her leg to kick him, “Go, go, go. Hurry up and wash yourself.”
Her body had recovered from giving birth.
If he could hold it in, she could too, but she knew Heng Yi couldn’t bear to, and she wasn’t a hungry person.
Heng Yi smiled and went to take a bath.
Han Qiao carried Ah-Yao so he could pee.
Ah-Yao was also obedient. Once he was done with his business, he asked his mother for food.
When Heng Yi came back, the mother and son were already asleep.
He stood by the bed and chuckled.
After covering his son and wife with a thin blanket, he got up to check on Han Chi.
When Heng Yi came over, Han Chi was still memorizing.
The Headmaster has gone to rest for the time being.
He was studying by himself, and there was an empty bowl and a jar of sugar on the table.
“Father.” When Han Chi saw Heng Yi, he greeted him in a friendly, pa.s.sionate, respectful manner.
“I came to check on you. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Heng Yi asked.
“I’ll go to sleep after I finish memorizing this book.” Han Chi carried the book behind him.
“Ali-Chi, you’re still young. Even if you don’t pa.s.s the exam next spring, we still have the year after.”
Heng Yi patted Han Chi’s shoulder, “Be good and sleep early. It won’t make a big difference if you wake up early tomorrow.”
“Your mother is very worried that your body will be overworked if you continue to do this.”
Han Chi bit his lip.
“Okay, 1’11 go wash up and sleep.”
Heng Yi patted Han Chi’s shoulder and asked, “Do you like the horse?”
“I like it, I really like it! 1 can already ride very well. Father, can 1 ride the horse when we go to Chenzhou City?”
“Sure.”
Han Chi smiled excitedly when he heard that.
Heng Yi didn’t stay for long and went back to the main courtyard.
The weather in October was already a little cold, but he didn’t feel it at all.
Heng Yi didn’t feel reluctant to leave Puyi County for Chenzhou City.
Truth to be told, he was a little eager to leave.
If the Han family treated Ah-Qiao fairly, he wouldn’t have such thoughts.
But…
It was good to leave. They would be far away, and they only saw each other once every three to five years. Even if there was hatred in their hearts, it would be slowly washed away over time…
Meanwhile, Father Han and Mother Han arrived at their residence.
Han Xiang, who was waiting for them, immediately greeted them, “Father, Mother…”
When she noticed their dejected faces, she quickly asked, “What happened?”
Father Han didn’t want to talk about it, and he slowly went into his room.
Han Yuan looked at Han Xiang for a long time before she sighed, “Ah-Xiang, do you know that the things you did back then were wrong?”
Han Xiang was shocked.
After a long stretch of silence, she replied in a whisper, “Mother, I know I was wrong. 1 won’t be foolish again.”
She had almost lost half her life before she realized her mistake.
But, unfortunately, it was too late.
Mother Han swallowed her saliva, “It’s good that you understand. Live a good life in the future and raise your two children to become good people.”
“Take care of your body first, then find a job to make a living. You can’t let your sister pay for your entire life.”
“Don’t think about Zhou Anshan anymore. Find someone else to marry.”
Han Yuan didn’t answer her question directly.
But Han Xiang knew that someone must’ve reprimanded her parents in Heng Manor.
As for how they were reprimanded, she did not know, but it was certainly not something good.
That was the reason why her parents came back in a daze and even told her about these things.
Getting married again…
Who should she marry? What kind of family could she find? She had two sons with her now.
“Mother, 1 don’t want to get married anymore. I want to do some small business. Wait… I… I…”
She took a deep breath, “I’ll take care of you and Father. 1 don’t want to ask Eldest Sister for money.”
She felt that she could do it herself.
“Alright.”
This was exactly what Han Yuan had been waiting for.
She felt that they should also be a little hard on her.
She didn’t believe that she had to rely on Han Qiao and Heng Yi to survive. They could also make a lot of money without having to look at Han Qiao or Heng Yi’s face.
