Chapter 219: Do You Still Have a Conscience?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Qiao’s thoughts were actually very simple.
She a.s.sumed that Zhao Huan must have recognized He Cheng.
However, the other woman did not come up to acknowledge him or argue with her.
What a selfish woman.
When they arrived at Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant, Zeng Asan greeted them with a smile, “Madam.”
“Is everything alright here today?”
“Business is very good, and no one is looking for trouble.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”
Zeng Qin’er and Zeng Baobao walked in from behind them.
Zeng Asan’s sharp eyes noticed the colorful rope on their wrist and the sachet hanging around the neck of the people from the Central Committee, “Oh my, did you buy these?”
“No, Madam gave it to me,” Zeng Qin’er raised her hand and to show them to Zeng Asan, “Madam put it on herself!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at how smug you are.”
Zeng Qin’er snorted and took out a five-colored rope, helping her father put it on.
Although Zeng Asan had said with disdain, he was overjoyed.
After watching the siblings enter, he showed off to his gang, “1 don’t want a girl’s toy. 1 have to give it back to her.”
The security team snorted, “1 don’t want you to untie it for your.”
“That won’t do. I’m going to untie it myself.”
Most of them were ordinary people, and their families were poor.
With a waiter working at Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant, his life became better. He was also a decent person, and he had more confidence when speaking in front of his relatives and friends.
However, there was no excess thread at home to make the colorful rope.
“Do you guys take the dumplings home?” Zeng Asan asked.
Now, their entire family was living in the mansion.
He had already eaten the dumplings the sticky rice cakes made.
And, the fragrant aftertaste still lingers in his mouth.
“Yes, someone from home took it away.”
Zeng Asan chuckled, “You two go home to eat later. Come back early.”
Zeng Asan had been a local ruffian in the county for many years, so he had good eyesight. Even though Zhao Huan and Zhen Niang had already turned their heads, he still saw them and stopped them, “Sorry, Qiaoyi Fast Food Restaurant doesn’t welcome you.”
“Can’t we just eat?” Zhao Huan reprimanded him lightly.
“If it was anyone else, they could, but not the two of you,” Zeng Asan’s smile faded and his voice turned harsh. “I advise you not to cause trouble. We all know what you’re thinking. You’ll be the ones who lose face if you make a scene.”
“If you two decided to do something shameless here, it won’t be good if my clumsy brothers ‘accidentally’ hurt you.”
The other men also chuckled.
They looked at Zhao Huan and Zhen Niang with malicious eyes.
If they were to really make a fuss, the ones who would lose face would indeed be the two of them.
Especially since there were many people here coming to buy food and sticky rice cakes. Things can be embarra.s.sing for the two of them really fast, so they did not dare to stay any longer.
In the private room of the fast food restaurant, the children had already taken off their face cloths to wash their faces and hands.
He Cheng was still young, but he found it very fun. He followed behind his brother and sisters.
“Do you think she saw Cheng’er?” Han Qiao asked Heng Yi as she washed her hands.
“She should have seen him,” Heng Yi said.
Han Qiao was silent.
If she had seen him, she could have guessed He Cheng’s ident.i.ty. If she had the brains for that.
“Let’s see if she’ll come to our door.”
If she came, it meant that she still had a conscience and still had some love for her son.
If she didn’t…
Han Qiao pursed her lips.
The children had already washed their hands and came over.
There was a lot of food on the table, which were meals sold at the Fast Food restaurants. Each was a small plate. The portion was not much but was plated in a way that looked exquisite. The children were eating sticky rice dumplings and side dishes. They were happy and maintained a lively atmosphere.
Han Qiao didn’t dare to eat too much. She only ate two mouthfuls of dumplings before she stopped. She was afraid that if she ate too much, she would become fat and the child would be squished in her stomach.
Without thinking, Heng Yi took the leftover rice dumpling and ate it.
Han Qiao ate the pumpkin soup.
In truth, many things could be eaten in this era, but they had not been completely developed into the food that was known in modern-day society.
She had also heard many stories about the founding empress.
Although she was called the Empress, she was not the Emperor’s wife. In fact, she had never married. It was only after her death that she was taken into the palace by the Emperor and became the Empress.
After her death, she was buried with the emperor in the imperial tomb.
There were many concubines in the emperor’s harem, but there was no empress.
It was rumored that she had traveled to many places, found many edible things, and cultivated them.
It was a pity that she had a bad life. She only lived for thirty-five years before she died of illness due to overwork.
Han Qiao felt that this legendary woman might also be a transmigrator.
But she had no evidence to prove it.
He Cheng came to call Han Qiao after he was full, “Mother, mother, I went to fly a kite. Let’s go, go…”
“Be good, Cheng’er. Wait a little longer. We have to prepare everything before we do, okay?”
Since they were going out of the city to fly a kite, it was almost like a picnic. Han Qiao had prepared snacks, tea, and a towel for them to wash their hands and wipe their mouths.
Playing outside for a long time was nothing for older children, but for children like He Cheng, getting sick could be fatal.
“Master, Madam, everything is ready.”
“Let’s go then..
