Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, the farmer’s family did not dare to keep these two people. What if they died at his home?
He would not even let them stay under the eaves or in the pigsty. He forcefully chased them away and let them scram.
“The world is fickle and the human heart is not as old as it used to be.” Old Woman Heng cursed as she walked.
Old Man Heng said nothing.
Of course, if it were him, he would not rashly let others into the house either.
it was just that today, others were particularly cruel to them.
This road seemed to have no end. The couple walked until their legs were about to break. When they arrived at Puyi County, it was already noon.
They were drenched and fainted at the city gate.
T here were people on duty at the city gate, but who would meddle in other people s business? There were too many homeless beggars lying around.
Heng Silang had been especially busy these days, he had collected some vegetables from the countryside to send to a rich family.
He had also braved the wind and snow to go there. When he entered the city and saw the two people at the city gate, he just casually glanced at them and did not take them seriously.
After the mule carriage had walked for a while, he suddenly remembered something and hurried back.
The two unconscious beggars at the corner of the city wall were his parents.
“Father, Mother! ” Heng Silang exclaimed.
His brothers were heartless and cruel. His parents might not be good people, but they had never mistreated them.
He quickly brought them home. Madam Wu had just returned from the house next door.
She was now helping several families wash clothes, which could be considered a profit. Although it was not much, it was enough for the family’s expenses.
The money from selling vegetables would be enough to save up. His two sons would go for enlightenment the next year. There would be a large sum of money for their training. There would also be new clothes, shoes, and socks that she needed to think about, but he could not focus on these things right now. Just thinking about them made him afraid.
But for the future, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
“What’s wrong?” Madam Wu asked.
“Father and Mother fainted at the city gate. Quickly carry them in and change their clothes.”
Suddenly two more people were in the house, and they looked quite battered. Madam Wu was stunned for a moment before she quickly went to help.
Yesterday, her parents-in-law didn’t come back after they went out. They thought that they were either staying in Heng Manor or going back to Ninghe Town.
Madam Wu helped her mother-in-law change her clothes.
While Heng Silang changed his father s clothes.
Their clothes were soaked, and there were blood blisters on the soles of their feet. Most importantly, they were running a high fever.
“I’ll send the vegetables away first. You go and call the doctor.”
“You should go quickly.”
The husband and wife split their work.
Heng Silang was worried about his parents on the way to deliver the vegetables, so he didn’t pay much attention to the situation and knocked over the person.
“Aiyo, aiyo.”
T he person cried out pitifully, looking very serious.
Heng Silang was so frightened that his entire body trembled, and he quickly got off the mule cart to take a look.
“Are… Are you alright?”
“Aiyo, my leg is broken.”
When Heng Silang heard this, he panicked even more.
This was the first time he had encountered such an accident, and he was extremely afraid.
“I-I-111 send you to the clinic.”
T he man lying on the ground howled even more miserably.
Wen Yu was walking over with a bucket of water. He was just about to deliver some fish to Heng Yi.
This was the fish raised by his father-in-law, and he had sent it over because he wanted to see if he could sell them to Heng Yi.
He happened to see this scene.
He didn’t intend to meddle in other people’s business. ZengAsan, who was lying on the ground, was a local ruffian who specialized in extorting people.
However, Heng Silang saw Wen Yu and quickly called out, “Brother, can you help me make a trip to the Heng Mansion on West Street and help me find Heng Yi, the owner of the Heng Mansion? He is my fifth brother.”
Wen Yu glanced at Heng Silang.
He then looked at Zeng Asan who was lying on the ground.
He lifted his leg and kicked Zeng Asan’s butt, “Why aren’t you getting up?”
“Hehe, its you, Officer,” ZengAsan stood up with a smile.
He cupped his fists at Heng Silang, “I’m sorry to start trouble with my own people. Please forgive me.” Then, he ran away.
Heng Silang still hadn’t come back to his senses.
Wen Yu said to him, “Don’t just stand there. Go and get busy.”
He picked up the fish and continued his way to the Heng Manor.
Heng Silang finally understood.
He had almost been fooled.
He let out a light breath and quickly went to each house to deliver the vegetables.
He was obviously a little late today.
His usual vegetables were good and the prices were fair. Others said a few words and did not make things difficult for him.
He was still hesitating. Should he go to Heng Manor and tell Heng Yi that his parents were sick?
After thinking about it, he finally gave up.
it was almost the new year, and to tell this kind of thing could be considered unlucky.
Besides, Heng Yi wasn’t his blood brother.
Meanwhile, in the Heng Manor, Han Qiao was very satisfied with the two fishes that Wen Yu sold them.
They were big, fat, and most importantly, they were snakehead fishes.
T he snakehead fish had fewer bones and tender meat compared to other fishes. It was a perfect kind of fish to grill.
“Does your father-in-law raise all these fishes?”
“Yes.”
“Then go back and tell him to keep all of them for me. Don’t sell any of them to anybody else. 1’11 charge him two more copper per catty than the market.” “Alright, alright, alright!” Wen Yu quickly agreed.
One catty was worth ten copper, and ten catty was worth twenty copper more. T his fish was at least four to five catties, and one fish was worth ten copper more. That was exactly how much they earned.
Wen Yu also mentioned that Heng Siiang was almost tricked by Zeng Asan.
“Thank you for your words,” Heng Yi looked calm.
“Hai yah, it’s just a matter of words.”
Han Qiao asked Wen Yu to bring 200 copper to Zeng Asan.
“Why?”
“Most people who are loyal to justice lull dogs, and most people who forget kindness are scholars. When my restaurant opens, it will be inevitable that people will stare at it. These people from all walks of life may look inconspicuous, but their relationships are much better than ours.”
Wen Yu didn’t quite understand what Han Qiao meant.
However, he still brought the 200 copper to ZengAsan.
This Zeng Asan was also an interesting person. He brought wine to Heng Manor in the afternoon.
“I want to see my master, Heng Yi.”
“Let him in.”
It was Zeng Asan’s first time entering such a magnificent house, and he was at a loss.
When he saw Heng Yi and Han Qiao sitting in the main seat, he became even more nervous.
T he man was too imposing, while the woman was beautiful and gentle.
“Master Heng, Madam, this lowly one greets you.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. Sit.” Han Qiao laughed.
Shulan immediately served tea.
“Please have some tea.”
“Ah, okay, okay,” ZengAsan quickly picked up the teacup.
This tea tastes good. Han Qiao had spent a lot of money to buy it. The fragrance of the tea was overflowing, and it was sweet to the tongue.
Zeng Asan had never tasted such good tea before.
He almost chewed and swallowed the tea leaves.
When the desserts and oranges were served, he was a little nervous, “Master, Madam, please forgive me. 1 really wasn’t aware that 1 was fooling your brother before. If 1 knew, I wouldn’t dare to trick him even if 1 had ten guts.”
“Actually, 1 didn’t invite you here for that reason. I have something else to discuss with you.” Han Qiao said gently.
Zeng Asan looked at Han Qiao.
He was surprised that Master Heng hadn’t said anything since he came in.
“Please tell me the truth..”
