Chapter 113: The Quarrel

“I’ve made a fool of myself.”
Han Qiao bowed apologetically to the onlookers.
She turned around and walked towards Heng Yi.
She became the gentle Han Qiao once more, holding Heng Yi’s cold and stiff hand.
“See, I didn’t lose. I even angered them away.”
“By just mentioning the cliff incident, it was enough for me to control them for the rest of my life.”
Han Qiao looked at Heng Yi curiously. “It was so dangerous, why did you save Heng Silang?”
Heng Yi was silent for a while.
“I called him Fourth Brother. I brought him to the mountain to hunt with me.”
“It must have been very dangerous back then.” Han Qiao whispered.
It was a close call.
To be able to risk his life to save someone else’s, she can see what a kind heart he has.
“I have a rope tied around my waist, and one end is tied to Bai Cha’s waist.”
Others might not care about his life or death, but Bai Cha would.
Heng Yi still trusted Bai Cha the most among those people.
Han Qiao held Heng Yi’s hand tightly.
“Let’s not think about this anymore. Let’s hurry and get inside. I’m still hungry.”
“It’s really tiring and unrewarding to quarrel with people like them.”
Heng Yi nodded.
He also held Han Qiao’s hand tightly.
He was so lucky to have such a wonderful wife.
The atmosphere in the dining room was not very good. No one could eat, so they put down their chopsticks and waited.
Seeing the two of them return, Sun Ke immediately went forward. “Mother, Father.”
The three of them had already gotten used to calling Heng Yi, Father.
Besides avoiding suspicion, Heng Yi loved them very much. He never told them how Han Qiao arranged their food and clothing.
Han Qiao patted Sun Ke’s head. “Let’s go and continue eating.”
Aunt Zhao immediately said, “Then I’ll heat the dishes and make two more.”
“That’s a good idea!”
The Heng family came up with schemes and plots, but Han Qiao countered their every move. Of course, Heng Silang helped her achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Han Qiao and Heng Yi didn’t invite anyone on the day they moved into their new home, mainly to guard against the Heng family.
She didn’t want the Heng family to come here, and Heng Yi didn’t like them.
The house was big and bright everywhere. Han Qiao wanted to bring the three children and grandparents to the opera in the afternoon.
Grandpa and Grandma were overjoyed at the news.
But they never expected He Hong and his wife would come over.
They even brought their son, He Cheng, along.
“Big Brother Heng, Sister-In-Law.
“Come and sit!” Heng Yi said.
Happy things made people feel refreshed, and Heng Yi also smiled.
He was in high spirits, and his eyes were filled with warmth.
It looked different from the lifeless atmosphere a few moments ago.
Han Qiao was much more enthusiastic as she spoke to He Hong and Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan’s complexion was still not very good. She looked a little haggard and had a sickly aura.
He Cheng could already walk, babbling as he tried to walk on the ground.
“This child is too noisy,” Zhao Huan said.
“That’s quite good. It’s good to be lively.” Han Qiao echoed and took the orange for He Cheng.
When He Cheng saw the golden object, he cried out and threw himself into Han Qiao’s arms.
She had also asked someone to send a basket to the He family earlier.
“How were the oranges I sent you last time, Zhao Huan?”
“It’s very sweet. Sister-in-law’s manor is really good.”
“Then you can go and take a look when you have time. If you want to eat oranges, just pick them yourself.”
A few of her cousins were helping to dig the ground, and they had scattered a lot of vegetable seeds there.
Once the seeds had sprouted, it would make everything look more lively and jubilant.
“That’s good. We’ll go another day.”
Zhao Huan said insincerely.
She didn’t want to go at all, nor did she want to see Heng Yi and Han Qiao.
Her misfortune started because of these two people.
Now, she and Fie Hong couldn’t even speak a word, while they were glued to the hip in love.
Han Qiao and Heng Yi wanted to go out and watch the show, so they asked if they wanted to go together.
“We won’t be going.”
He Hong had come to settle the bill for August, September, and October.
There were some accounts that he didn’t know about, but he was shocked when he calculated them.
They had visited the restaurant earlier. After a month of food and clothing, they had nearly sixty to seventy taels of silver. These were their monthly expenses since they moved.
At that time, Heng Yi had also brought them over from hunting. Although he had given them silver, it was only a symbolic amount.
He didn’t give much.
In the past three months, Heng Yi hadn’t hunted for anything. He had bought everything from others and even hired a shopkeeper, but he had earned more than before.
Apart from the monthly expenses, there were still a hundred taels, so he could get fifty taels.
Heng Yi didn’t feel any animosity in the air.
He Flong blushed in shame.
When Zhao Huan saw He Hong hand over the 150 silver taels, her heart ached so much that it twitched.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After moving, He Hong didn’t give Zhao Huan too much silver. Ten taels a month, not a single cent more.
He realized that Zhao Huan wouldn’t buy anything with the silver.
He also knew that the restaurant had a lot of expenses in the past, and most of them were taken by Zhao Huan.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Heng Yi asked, “Is the restaurant doing well?”
“Business is doing fine. Don’t worry, Big Brother Heng.”
After a while, he said, “Big Brother Heng, I…”
“What’s wrong?”
He Hong took a deep breath, “Big brother Heng, I plan to return the restaurant to you and work for myself.”

“He Flong!” Zhao Huan exclaimed.
Was he crazy?
That restaurant earned them dozens of taels a month.
Go out and work hard? Was it that easy?
He Flong made up his mind. He glanced at Zhao Huan, before turning back to Heng Yi and said, “Big Brother Heng-”
“Big brother Heng, don’t listen to He Hong.” Zhao Huanniang said first.
He Flong stood up. “Big Brother Heng, I’m serious. That restaurant didn’t belong to me. I took advantage of you these three years. I’ll never forget your kindness.”
“I don’t want to go on like this for the rest of my life. 1 want to try and work hard.”
“Alright,” Heng Yi nodded.
He didn’t say anything about a partnership.
He did not say that he would give He Hong a sum of silver.
He Flong’s dignity did not allow it, and Heng Yi would not humiliate He Hong.
Zhao Huan screamed, “He Hong, you’re crazy.”
“I think you’re the crazy one.” He Hong shouted angrily.
The two of them were staring daggers at each other.
He Cheng was still young, so he was so scared that he cried loudly.
Han Qiao hugged the child and coaxed him.
She felt that it was a good idea to explore the business world with He Hong. He was not without money, and he was a capable and smart person.
It was a pity that Zhao Huan only cared about money.
Initially, she thought that Zhao Huan was very smart and capable, but looking at her current state, Han Qiao felt that she had overestimated her.
“You said that I’m crazy, but what right do you have to say that I’m crazy? I’m crazy because you forced me out.”
“That silver was mine, it was all mine, why did you give it to Heng Yi? Why should I give it to them?”
“He doesn’t even come to the restaurant once a year and only sends some prey over. How much can those prey be worth?”
“Why should he take half of our income?”
Zhao Huan shouted.
He Flong’s eyes were red with anger. “Because he saved my life. Because he risked his life to hunt two tigers for that restaurant, and the Feng family passed the restaurant to him. The deed is all in his name. He gave me a place to settle down when I was penniless.”
“Do you understand now, Zhao Huan?”
