Chapter 216: Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng Beated
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng had clearly lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. The wrinkles on their faces had increased, and the hair on their hair was much whiter than the last she saw them.
She only sighed when she saw them, and she did not have the slightest sympathy.
If one loved someone dearly, or in this case, something dearly, hatred would naturally be implicated.
This time, the two of them cleaned themselves up very well and did not cry about their lack of money as soon as they spotted her.
Old Woman Heng secretly peeked at Han Qiao several times as her head remained down.
Old Man Heng’s hands trembled as he held the teacup.
Han Qiao noticed all these but pretended not to see them.
The hall was unusually quiet.
Until Old Woman Heng broke the silence and said in a low voice, “We are now living in the countryside near Heng Family Village. In a few days, our old house will have beams installed. We want to invite you and Heng Yi back.”
“I let Heng Yi down in the past, I will change.”
Han Qiao was very surprised that Old Woman Heng would say this.
Moreover, she did not look like she was pretending.
“Didn’t Heng Dalang and the others treat you well?” Han Qiao asked.
As soon as she said this, Old Woman Heng couldn’t help but cry.
“They hit me and the old man,”
Han Qiao wanted to say that it was retribution.
They abused their adopted son and were beaten up by their own son.
Old Woman Heng was afraid that Han Qiao wouldn’t believe her, so she lifted her sleeves. Her skin was marred with green and purple bruises, it looked a little scary.
She lifted her pants as well, and her legs were also bruised.
Old Man Heng also had bruises on his body.
Han Qiao looked at them and fell silent for a moment.
“Heng Yi is in Ninghe Town right now. Uncle Hu passed away, so he will be back in two days.”
“I’ll pack up some things and get someone to send you back to the Heng family village.”

Old Woman Heng looked at Han Qiao.
This was different from what they had expected.
“Can we stay in the county? The old man and I won’t cause any more trouble for you. We’ll take care of our own meals. 1,1…” The old woman began to cry.
She didn’t want to stay in Heng Family Village.
Their daughters-in-law used to live by their side. Now that they had split up, they did not have much silver in their hands. Their sons and daughters-in-law also yelled at them.
That day, when her children and daughters-in-law asked her and the old man to do some work, they were unwilling to do so.
Now, whether it was Heng Dalang, Heng Erlang, or Heng Sanlang, none of them were willing to listen to them.
Where did Heng Silang go? Nobody heard anything from him.
They had come this time to probe Han Qiao’s opinion.
“I’m afraid that won’t do. When we split up, Heng Yi and I didn’t ask for anything. We made it very clear that we would give you filial piety money every year, and that you would receive money for New Year’s.”
“Since they were unfilial and hit you, you should go to the village chief and report them,”
“How about this, on the day the beams are all installed, Heng Yi will go and teach them a good lesson. Let them know the principles of human relations.”
In short, she would not let them stay in Puyi County.
“Don’t say that you raised Heng Yi. I don’t like to hear it, and 1 don’t want to hear it. 1 know how Heng Yi has been treated all those years. You should be content to sit here and talk for a while.”
“I don’t care about my reputation or what people would think about me. If I’m angered, I’ll go all out.”
“I won’t hit you, but I have ways to make your life worse than being beaten.”
After I Ian Qiao finished speaking, she instructed Duan Yue to go to the kitchen and get someone to prepare food.
Two more baskets were filled to the brim.
She even gave cloths for Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng to make clothes.
“Don’t come to the county town if you have nothing to do. I’ll have someone send things to Heng Family Village before the season ends.”
Han Qiao’s voice was very gentle.
However, Old Man Heng and Old Man Heng felt a chill run down their spines.
“Then… Then can you give us some silver? Your father-in-law and I also want to buy something else from time to time.”
“One tael of filial piety silver a year. It will be delivered to you before the end of the year.”
Old Woman Heng stood up.
She wanted to open her mouth and curse, but Han Qiao’s indifferent gaze stared back at her. Her heart tightened from surprise and she slowly sat back down.
“Then can you send food to Heng Family Village once a month? I, I…”
Han Qiao could tell that these two people had been abused by the Heng family.
For some reason, she felt happy.
“I can send things, but if you don’t come to the county town, I’ll get someone to send them over every month. I’ll deduct your money every time you come in the future. If you have anything to say, just tell the person who sent the things.”
What goes always comes around.
Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng had nowhere else to go.
They didn’t dare to say anything else. If Han Qiao and Heng Yi didn’t help them, they would starve to death.
Or tortured to death.
On the way back, Old Woman Heng kept sighing.
She regretted it.
She was so regretful that she could feel her intestines twisting in her stomach.
If she had known that Heng Yi would be successful in the future, she would have treated him well.
“Old man… This is a little too much,” Old Woman Heng said softly.
Old Man Heng looked at her silently.
Ever since he was beaten up by his eldest son that day, Old Man Heng had been a little dazed and spoke even less.
She knew that the old man was sad.
How could he not be?
After Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng left, Dong Lai returned home with more information regarding Xia He’s miscarriage.
“I asked the housekeeper, she said that Xia He fell on her own. The reason was that Xia He told everyone in the manor that she would return to the county residence to be a nanny. She scolded Xia He and told her she should not flatter herself. Xia He didn’t respond well to that at that time. After more than two hours, Xia He fell down on her own.”
“I have also asked Xia He. She also admitted that she fell on her own. However, the expression on Xia He’s face doesn’t seem right…”
Shu Lan spoke up with a slight hesitation, “Madam, Xia He…”
Han Qiao knew that Xia He probably couldn’t be kept around.
She had thoughts that she shouldn’t have, even though she hadn’t put them into practice yet.
But with that kind of heart, she couldn’t keep Xia He.
“Tomorrow you go again, let her pack up and accompany them to the old woman in the Broker House,”
Go back to where you came from.
As long as that child wasn’t lost due to the old woman in charge, she wouldn’t feel guilty.
“If she doesn’t want to leave, tell her that I know about her plans.”
“Yes, Madam,” Shulan glanced at Han Qiao’s stomach.
She pursed her lips.
She was shocked by how intuitive the Madam was.
Xia He only had a small thought, but she saw through it and sent her far away.
Heng Yi came back three days later. He looked haggard and exhausted.
Han Qiao told him to quickly wash up and sleep.
“Sleep with me.”
“Alright.”
The couple’s heads touched each other.
They quickly fell asleep.
When Heng Yi woke up, Han Qiao told him about the Heng family.
“You still have to go back. If those two old people don’t live well, others will also talk.”
“I know what to do.”
Heng Yi said, indicating to her to not worry.
Heng Yi didn’t go several days earlier to Heng Dalang’s to assist in the preparations for installing the roof beams. Instead, he went to his eldest brother’s house on the day it was installed and didn’t help. He just stood there and watched them work.
Those who came to help wanted to approach and talk to Heng Yi.
Seeing his cold face, they tactfully retreated.
Heng Yi waited for Heng Dalang to finish his work before questioning him, “1 heard you beat your parents?”
“…” Heng Dalang was opening his mouth to explain before Heng Yi interrupted.
“I hope this will only happen once. If you make a move on them again, 1 will personally break your legs and remove your hands. I had never killed anyone in my early days, so I had some reservations. After 1 killed some bandits while I was working in the government office, I felt that I should never show mercy when dealing with disloyal, unjust, unfilial children.”
Heng Yi stared straight at his brother, “Do you want me to kill you?”
