Chapter 034 She Can't Just Think About Herself

The next day, my breath turned to frost. The weather was getting colder.

On weekdays, Xia usually sent her son to the end of the alley, and once outside the Xie family's area, she would let her son go to Master Qi's house on his own. Tian never expected that his sister-in-law would insist on sending Min'er to Master Qi's house.

"Auntie, I can go by myself." Little Xie Min said that he had been there several times and was very familiar with the road.

"Our Min'er is so well-behaved and cute, Auntie just wants to stay with Min'er for a while longer." Chen Heng held her nephew's hand and walked forward swayingly.

Being praised, little Xie Min smiled embarrassedly.

"Min'er, let's make a promise. You can't go home alone after class. You must wait for Auntie to pick you up."

"Okay then." Xie Min said happily. Auntie really likes to stick to him now, there's really nothing he can do about it.

"The clan members have been very kind to us lately." Xia thought her sister-in-law was worried about her son being bullied on the road. "Sometimes we even talk to each other when we see each other. I really hope our relationship can return to what it was before."

"Don't you blame the sister-in-law?"

"The Xie family has lived here for generations, and we can't leave. If we keep remembering the unpleasant things, how can we live our lives?" Xia looked at her son, jumping up and down. "As long as the clan members treat Ajian and Min'er kindly, I am willing to reconcile."

Chen Heng nodded. That’s right. It’s not like they live in commercial housing. If there’s a conflict with the neighbors, they can just sell the house and buy a new one. The furniture can be thrown away at any time. The household registration can be moved to different communities at any time. It was not so convenient in ancient times, so neighborly harmony is a big deal.

"Mom, Auntie, we've arrived at Master Qi's house."

"Auntie will pick you up this afternoon."

"good."

Looking at the lively and cute little Xie Min, Shen Heng and Xia Shi both smiled.

The two went to the morning market to buy pork. It was crowded with people.

Xia picked out a large piece of sandwich meat and explained the selection techniques to Chen Heng as she did so. She then said, "Pick the fattier ones so they can last longer. A few pieces of fat can make several bowls of steamed dishes."

Chen Heng wrote them down one by one. After all, she didn't know whether she would become a rich and beautiful woman in the future and reach the pinnacle of life. If her business failed, she must master the life skills of thriftiness and housekeeping.

"This chicken is really good." Xia saw someone selling chicken nearby. "When the weather gets colder, I'll give Ajian some chicken stewed with ginseng. He'll definitely grow taller after the new year. Min'er's father suddenly grew taller when he was sixteen. He was this tall when he married me." She compared as she spoke.

This height must be at least 180cm. Shen Heng didn't expect that the eldest brother of the Xie family was quite tall. It seems that both brothers of the Xie family are the type of people who grow slowly.

"I'll also cook a root of red ginseng for you then. Girls who eat a root of red ginseng in winter will have more vitality in the coming year." Xia Shiyu.

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind." Shen Heng said sincerely: "It can't be just me and Ajian, sister-in-law should also make up for it."

"I don't need to make up for it, Min'er is already this big."

Just when Shen Heng was thinking about paying for the ginseng herself and buying it secretly, she heard the discussion of the people buying vegetables nearby.

"That gentleman was just passing through our Nanqi County, and look at those families, they're all trying to flatter him."

"I heard that the Liu family presented a beautiful woman to this gentleman and asked him to bring her into the palace to present her to the emperor."

"Just those daughters of the Liu family? They're really not that good looking. The Zhao family seemed to have given them a Jade Guanyin."

"What did the Xie family give?"

"Who knows? The Xie family has had such a scandal this time, being laughed at by other families. The Xie clan leader would have been unable to hold his head up high for a long time."
