Chapter 417: The Good Man of The Gu Family

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Han Qiao wouldn’t reject someone’s goodwill.

A strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. Moreover, they had to stay in the village for a year. It was a big taboo to make enemies everywhere.

Besides, she had made her request clear. These people were not fools.

If they wanted to eat this bowl of rice, they had to see whether they had the ability to do so.

Most of the people in the village had the surname Gu, and there were very few people with other surnames. Just the things they sent over could make Han Qiao a sumptuous dinner.

Before the women left, they were still reluctant to part and agreed with Han Qiao to come over early the next morning.

“Alright.”

After they left, Han Qiao started to prepare dinner.

Chicken soup, stewed eggs, stir-fried vegetables, and rice. It may not look much but it still was a sumptuous meal.

At least Granny Gu and Shun Zi were especially excited.

Shun Zi could not eat a bowl of rice all year round, let alone chicken soup or eggs.

Heng Yi carried the wild boar and walked quickly to the town. He was tall and strong. His gait was very fast, and his face was not red, nor was he panting. He did not even sweat.

The villagers who passed by were all stunned when they saw him.

“Who is that?”

“How is he so powerful?”

“Wild boar? Someone actually caught two boars?…”

“It’s still alive.”

By the time Heng Yi reached the town, the sky had already darkened.

There were two restaurants in Mingnan Town, and the two businesses were rivals on a daily basis. They often made trouble for each other out in the open and behind their backs.

When Heng Yi appeared with the boar, the waiter of Zhao’s Restaurant saw him and immediately shouted, “Boss! Boss! There’s a boar!”

“Where?”

Shopkeeper Zhao casually looked outside and saw Heng Yi carrying two wild boars. He was so shocked that he forgot to fiddle with his abacus.

“That’s…”

His brain reacted immediately.

The wild boar could not go to the Xu family’s restaurant across the street. Otherwise, their business would be robbed.

He hurried out of the restaurant and stopped Heng Yi, “Hero, are you selling wild boars?”

“Yes.”

Heng Yi knew that prices were different in different places.

Hence, he asked for the price.

“T-that’s… One tael of silver per head, what do you think?”

Heng Yi pursed his lips, “One tael of silver.”

Two hundred copper coins for one head and four hundred copper coins for two heads could buy a lot of things.

Every place had its own people. He also wanted to buy some fresh things from this town for his wife and children.

“Alright.”

Shopkeeper Zhao thought that he would have to give one tael of silver at least. But since Heng Yi had asked, he was more than happy to give.

“I want broken pieces of silver. Give me four hundred copper coins.”

Han Qiao could easily use the small amount of money. If she wanted to buy something in the village, she didn’t need to exchange her money.

Heng Yi knew everything.

Shopkeeper Zhao pushed the money to Heng Yi, who counted it and put it into his pouch.

The pouch was embroidered exquisitely, and the fabric was used well.

Shopkeeper Zhao was puzzled.

Heng Yi had already left the restaurant with the money and went to the grain store next door.

He bought two catties of sugar, some grains, salt, soy sauce, and a jar of vinegar. With his hands full, he went to the grocery store.

“Do you have anything for children to play with?”

“There’s a small wooden sword, a wooden horse, and this slingshot…”

Heng Yi asked for the price and bought them all.

He picked it up and quickly headed for home.

He was eager to return, and the thought alone fueled him to walk even faster.

The chicken soup was ready in the clay pot. The food they brought was useful. The rice was also ready. They just needed to wait for Heng Yi to come home and cook.

“Woof! Woof!…”

Big Yellow barked. Ah-Yao, who was eating mung bean cakes around the fire, stood up instantly. “Father is back!”

Han Qiao put down the thread in her hand.

Granny Gu and Shun Zi quickly stood up.

Zeng Qin’er stood at the door and called out, “Father?”

“I’m home,”

Heng Yi’s calm voice answered her question, and Zeng Qin’er opened the door.

“Father.”

Zeng Qin’er became more familiar with calling her bosses this way.

Heng Yi nodded.

His gaze then moved to Ah-Yao who was running towards him. Heng Yi said, “Father bought you a toy.”

“Wow! Father is so nice!”
