Han Xiang looked at Zhou Anshan.
Father Zhou also looked at Zhou Anshan.
Zhou Anshan felt his scalp go numb from being stared at. He said hesitantly, “Father, let’s split up then. We agreed to split up anyway.”
Father Zhou was so angry that he pounded his chest with his fist. There was no other choice but to give in to Han Xiang’s demands.
“With the way things are, if you want to split with the main family, I’ll let you. However, you have to move to our former house. I’ll give that house to you and even add two more taels of silver.”
In other words, there’s no need to buy a new house.
Han Xiang remained silent.
Zhou Anshan wanted to say something, but he was frightened by Han Xiang’s heavy gaze.
“I agree with Father’s arrangements.”
With the ten taels of silver back, the matter of splitting the family was also confirmed. Han Xiang slowly entered the room, and her body limped to the ground.
She had to work hard to earn money. She had to earn a lot of money and live a better life than Han Qiao.
Mother Zhou was crying outside as Father Zhou reprimanded her. Zhou Anshan stood at the side and did not say a word. He was somewhat uninvolved, but he was the one who benefited the most from the whole situation.
Han Xiang had to bear with her bad reputation, she got back her silver, and the family was divided.
Although the former mansion was old, it could still be lived in after tidying up.
Moreover, it was spacious, which meant that there was more space to store things. It was also convenient for carriages to enter and exit the courtyard.
Most importantly, they did not have to hand over the money they earned. They could keep it all for themselves.
This was the result of his and Han Xiang’s discussion on the way back from Puyi County.
And everything went exactly as they planned.
Father Zhou called Zhou Anshan into the hall and slapped him without saying anything.
Zhou Anshan stood there without saying a word.
Father Zhou remained silent as he stared at him.
“You… You’re brave.”
This child… For the sake of splitting up from the family, he would really do anything.
“Move out after the fifteenth. Your mother won’t take care of your children after you move out.”
“Yes.” Zhou Anshan replied.
He turned around and left the hall.
He didn’t want to do much work.
Zhou Anshan returned to his room. Han Xiang changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed.
“I’ll go to the village and tell them about the bamboo shoots and firewood. When will you go back to your mother’s house? Ask her what we should pay attention to when purchasing firewood and bamboo shoots. We can’t just keep it then throw it out later.”
They didn’t dare to approach Han Qiao anymore, but they could let the Han family buy the things they sold to Puyi County, which could save them from going back and forth.
“I’ll go back to my mother’s house when we move to the former residence after the deed is written.” Han Xiang said softly.
Making money for two days wouldn’t be a big deal anyway.
Zhou Anshan took a deep breath.
He couldn’t do anything about Han Xiang.
Zhou Anshan turned around and left.
When the villagers saw him in that state, they asked him what was wrong.
“My three brothers-in-law hit me,” Zhou Anshan said with a smile.
“Haish, that’s normal.”
Nowadays, it was not particularly embarrassing to be beaten up by one’s brother-in-law.
When Zhou Anshan talked about collecting bamboo shoots and firewood, no one cared about the bruises and palm prints on his face.
They quickly pulled him to talk about this matter in detail.
When Han Qiao woke up and found out that her relatives had left, she was stunned for a moment before smiling in relief.
She didn’t comment on it.
“Where’s the Master?”
“Master went out. It seems that someone from the Feng family came.”
Han Qiao was surprised.
The Feng family?
Last time, they came to Heng Yi to hunt a tiger. What were they planning to hunt this time?
“Go and tell the children that we are going to the market. Also, avoid He Cheng. Don’t let him know that we’re out. Tell his nanny about it.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Han Qiao went to look for her grandparents.
The two of them were too happy yesterday and couldn’t sleep at night. They hadn’t woken up yet.
Han Qiao didn’t want to disturb them, so she let them continue sleeping.
When they left the courtyard, the four children were already ready to go, all of them smiling.
“Mother.”
Han Qiao smiled and nodded, “Let’s go.”
They lived just behind the main street, so the market was within walking distance.
Nowadays, there are many things sold in the market. The radishes planted in winter were now dug out and stewed in soup. They were soft and sweet.
Even the pickled radishes and dried radishes were excellent.
For the sake of unnecessary trouble, Han Qiao didn’t bring He Cheng with them to the market this time.
She was worried that the young boy would accidentally meet Zhao Huan.
The four children carefully protected her.
Han Qiao laughed, “You four should go and have fun. You all have your pocket money, so you can buy whatever you like. You can also ask me to buy some things for you.”
“Alright.”
The girls were interested in flowers, handkerchiefs, purses, needles, embroidery thread, scissors, and so on.
While swords attracted Han Chi, he had a good dagger, so he wanted to buy a slingshot.
He also had a very good aim.
He had finally found one. It was very well-polished and he liked it very much. However, the price was a little expensive. It cost 200 coppers.
Han Chi smiled stiffly. Money wasn’t the problem. He also had a few taels of silver on his person. It was just that… He had suffered a lot and had done many crimes before coming to the Han family. Thanks to his past experiences on the streets, he was a little stingy.
“Big Brother, if you like it, you should buy it,” Sun Ke advised.
The stan owner also kept persuading Han Chi to buy it.
Han Chi took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind, “Then I’ll buy it.”
Han Chi’s hands were shaking when he took out the money.
However, when the slingshot was placed in his hands, Han Chi was very excited that he felt his blood boiling.
He turned around to look for his mother.
He immediately spotted her buying radishes on a large scale.
The commoners who came to sell radishes all sat on stools and waved their hands and yelled to catch her attention at their stall.
“One copper for three catties, and the radish tassel is free. Madam, look at my radish.”
“Madam, I’m also here. Please take a look here.”
Han Qiao smiled at them, “There’s no rush. I’ll be right there.”
Three catties of radish for a copper, plus a catty of free baby radish.
There were ways to eat radishes, and she could also use the baby radish to make dried vegetables. They can be stir-fried, eaten in the cold, and can even be put into buns.
Han Qiao carefully picked out the radishes, but after a thorough inspection, she didn’t want any of them.
However, even though the common people brought these to the market to sell, they might not buy it for themselves either. It took skill and experience to know what was of good quality.
“Mother, 1 bought a slingshot.” Han Chi whispered.
Han Qiao looked at the slingshot in Han Chi’s hand.
She recognized the material as rosewood at a glance.
“The same wood as the furniture in the house.” Han Chi looked at it carefully.
“Very good. You have good taste. Come, bring me to see if there are any other small toys.”
“Alright.”
Han Chi felt relieved.
When Han Qiao held his hand, he froze for a moment, then his lips curled into a smile, and they slowly parted.
He revealed his big white teeth.
This was his first time spending so much money, yet he was not criticized. Instead, he was praised for having good taste.
When Han Chi brought Han Qiao over, the stall owner was a little anxious, “I… I really marked the price clearly. 1 didn’t cheat people just because he’s a child.”
On such a cold day, the stall owner’s forehead was sweating.
Han Qiao laughed, “No need to be nervous. I’m just here to see if you have any other toys. If you have something that catches my eye, I’ll buy some more.” “Yes, yes, yes! Please wait a moment..”
