But some people couldn’t sleep.

That person was Father Han.

He always felt that as Han Qiao’s biological father, he should be treated better than his brothers when he visited his daughter and son-in-law’s house.

Or rather, he thought that Han Qiao would get closer to him.

However, none of this happened. Han Qiao didn’t get close to him and even treated him equally to his other brothers.

After Father Han got up, the youngest uncle, who was sleeping beside him, called out, ‘ Ling, why aren’t you sleeping?”

“…” Father Han took a deep breath, “1 want to smoke.¹‘

“Fourth Brother, is there something on your mind?”

Uncle Yao tilted his body.

He didn’t want to get out of bed since it was so warm under the blanket.

It was very cold outside.

“I’m fine.” Father Han didn’t want to tell his little brother.

Uncle Yao more or less guessed what was going on, ‘Fourth Brother, if you have something on your mind, tell me. They say that two heads are better than one. What can’t we say between us brothers?”

Father Han thought for a while before saying, “Do you think Ah-Qiao hates me?”

“What?”

Uncle Yao smiled, “Ling, that’s not true. Ah-Qiao has nothing to say about you and us. It’s said that a married daughter is like water that has been poured out. Look at our daughters. If we go to their in-laws’ houses, who would dare to treat us this well? The things we bring home tomorrow are all prepared by your daughter.”

“That wine costs at least a hundred copper coins per catty. Each of us has a jug that weighs ten catties. There’s also salt, sugar, cloth, silk flowers, handkerchief, and purses for the children. I’ve been a father-in-law for so many years. My daughters and sons-in-law have never treated me like this.”

“Ling, do you think Ah-Qiao didn’t give you much?” Uncle Yao asked Father Han.

“…” Father Han was silent.

Uncle Yao was considered quite lucky.

He recalled earlier that Han Qiao had prepared the same gifts for her uncles and her father.

She was not biased toward anyone.

The children were counted according to the children of each family.

it was rare for someone to be so meticulous.

“Fourth Brother, don’t tell me you think it’s not enough? Let me tell you, 1 won’t give you my share. That’s my niece’s New Year’s gift to me!”

Father Han was so angry that he laughed.

After awhile, he said, “I thought that since I’m her biological father, I should have a little more than you.”

That was the reason.

However, Han Qiao did not share such thoughts.

She balanced the bowl of water evenly.

“Is it possible that Ah-Qiao still has something that she can’t give you in front of us and wants to give in private?”

Father Han guessed that it must be the case.

His heart calmed down.

“Ling, hurry up and sleep. This blanket is warm. I’ll ask Ah-Qiao tomorrow if she can let me take this set of blankets.”

“Nonsense,” Father Han laughed.

He doted on his younger brother more or less.

Even if he was already Grandpa’s man, his youngest brother was still his youngest brother. That would never change.

Uncle Yao chuckled.

He shrank into the blanket again.

This blanket was very comfortable. Lt was fragrant, and it was warmer than the one he had back home.

“Father and Mother are reaily blessed. They are living a good life with Ah-Qiao.” Uncle Yao said enviously.

Father Han’s lips curled, but he didn’t say a word.

How could he not want to live here?

However, Han Qiao did not mention this at all.

After breakfast, Father Han and the others were about to return to Xishan Village. Mostly because the heavens were in a good mood that it didn’t rain today. Even the sun was peeking out of its hiding spot.

Han Qiao had wanted the carriage to send them back, but Father Han and the others refused, saying that they would make mud everywhere.

Looking at Father Han’s hesitant expression, Han Qiao couldn’t help but say, “Father, come here. I have something to tell you.”

“Yes, I’m here,” Father Han laughed.

He quickly followed Han Qiao to a place not far away.

Han Qiao took out a pouch and handed it to him, “Father, this is the money for you and Mother. It s not a lor, just two taels. Don’t save up on whatever you and Mother want to buy. Or, send word to me that I’ll buy it for you in the county town.”

“That’s too much, this is enough. You’re so thoughtful,” Father Han pinched rhe purse and his heart finally fell back into his stomach.

What he was most afraid of now was that Han Qiao would sever her relationship with her family.

The water may look like it was still in its bowl, but in reality, it was already steadily tipping away on one side, flowing away from her family.

Han Qiao didn’t ask Han Xiang if she was living in the Han family’s residence or if still went back to the Zhou family.

She didn’t want to talk about Han Xiang, the lunatic.

Father Han wanted to talk about her sister’s circumstances several times, but Han Qiao interrupted him and changed the topic.

He also understood that Han Qiao’s hatred for Han Xiang was not fake.. It was real. He did not dare to mention Han Xiang again.

After sending off the Han family, Han Qiao helped Grandma back to her room.

Although it was a little sunny today, it was still very cold. She was old, and when she caught a cold it would be fatal.

As soon as she sent her grandmother back, the county magistrate’s family had already sent someone to send a gift.

They gave them a very smooth piece of silk satin, and the color was also very beautiful, bright yellow. With this, she could make six sets of clothes, two for adults and four for children.

Han Qiao had no use for this fabric, but she could make it for her three daughters. She could also make clothes for the baby in her stomach to wear after it was born. There was no difference in the clothes that a baby would wear, as long as it was light and airy.

Dian Bo and the advisor also gave them some gifts; all of them were the necessary pastries for the New Year at home, but they were more exquisite and had more variety.

People could see that these two families were well-off.

Constable Qin and Constable Wang also personally delivered some homemade brown sugar steamed buns their wives’ made.

They also told Heng Yi about the raider’s extermination next year and asked him to prepare. After that, they had to choose a chief. Constable Qin and Constable Wang both wanted to compete, but they found that neither of them would trust the other if one of them became the head. So they would probably choose Heng Yi.

Of course, Heng Yi had to show them his real ability.

“After becoming the chief of detectives, your salary will be doubled.”

Heng Yi nodded, indicating that he had listened.

The salary is doubled, and the monthly salary would be four taels of silver.

Of course, more importantly, the power in his hands would be different. He could be considered a real official. He was completely different from the constables who get their positions from connections and abilities.

Heng Yi’s face was calm, but he was actually very interested in the position and decided to fight for it.

Since he had chosen this path, he would climb up bit by bit.

After sending off Constable Qin and Constable Wang, Heng Yi still looked in serious contemplation. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he sat on the chair and sipped from the teacup.

Lt was just that people who were used to drinking tea and drinking wine did not have the energy to learn from scholars. He simply put down his teacup and returned to the main courtyard to find Han Qiao.

After learning that Han Qiao had gone to the kitchen, he wanted to go over and take a look.

But he was intercepted by Dong Lai who ran over to him in a hurry. “Master, Master! Old Master Heng and Madam Heng are here. They’re at the door right now. They’re… They’re…”

Dong Lai was too embarrassed to say that those two people were really in a sorry state, completely different from the manor’s Master and Madam’s dignity.

They came over in such a way because they were old and remorseful. Because of their reputation, Master Heng Yi and Madam Han Qiao had no choice bur to keep them or give them money.

Lt was better to come in a dignified manner so that everyone could get by.

Master and Madam were good people.

Heng Yi’s face darkened.

However, he had also gone through some experiences and seen the ways of the world. He was more concerned about Han Qiao’s pregnancy and couldn’t get angry over this matter.

Besides, this was the Heng family’s business, and Han Qiao couldn’t always be the one covering for him.

He was rhe head of rhe family, so he should be the one protecting his wife and children.

He walked towards the door..
