Chapter 027 The Past Why Let It Go
"Then I'll give it to you." Lu Ji'an said with a smile.
A county magistrate casually gave a piece of his own calligraphy to a young man who was almost a stranger. Shen Heng felt that Lord Lu was quite special to Xie Jian. Could it be that the last lawsuit had left a deep impression on him? She remembered that Xie Jian didn't say anything at all.
"Thank you for the calligraphy, sir." Xie Jian's face was calm, but he sneered in his heart. Why should he let the past go? His father died unjustly, and his brother disappeared. No one would ignore the hatred of their relatives.
Lu Ji'an looked at the shopkeeper Ge and asked, "Does the bookstore have the book 'Yanzi Chunqiu'?"
"Yes, yes, it's on the other side. Please follow me, sir." Shopkeeper Ge hurriedly took the adults to find the book.
It was almost noon when the three of them returned home from the bookstore.
It was cloudy, with the sun showing up from time to time and then hiding behind the clouds again.
Xiao Xiemin carried Xiao Huang all the way home, not feeling tired at all. After arriving home, he let Xiao Huang live in Da Huang's doghouse: "Xiao Huang, this is where your dog daddy lived. You have to live here too in the future."
"You have to tie a rope to it when it's so small?" Shen Heng saw the rope around the puppy's neck.
"The puppy isn't familiar with the house yet and will run away. I won't be able to find it then. Tie it up for a few days until it gets used to the house and won't run away anymore."
Just as Shen Heng was sighing at how attentive she was at such a young age, Xia called her.
In the kitchen, Xia and Xie Jian were sitting and talking.
As soon as the three of them arrived home, Xie Jian was called into the kitchen by Xia. No one knew what they said, but Xia's face was full of emotion.
"Sister-in-law." Chen Heng noticed a small wooden box with a lock on the table.
"Heng, please sit down."
Xie Jian looked at the woman sitting next to him quietly, thinking carefully about what his sister-in-law had just said. He did not object.
"Ah Heng, from today on, I'm giving this to you." Xia pushed the wooden box on the table in front of Chen Heng and put a small copper key on a rope into her hand. "A Jian, please write a couplet today in return. I'll also give you ten coins."
Chen Heng looked puzzled. These ten cents were given to her by Manager Ge just now. She was present at the time. Why did he give it to her suddenly? Could it be that he wanted her to be the boss?
Xia said, "Open the wooden box and take a look."
Chen Heng opened it as instructed, and found nine taels of silver and some small change inside.
"Aheng, you're capable of supporting yourself now. My eldest sister-in-law has decided to hand the household over to you," said Xia. She had actually wanted to hand the household over to Aheng for a long time. After all, Xie Jian was the family's pillar, and the rest of the family should be left to his wife. She had put it off until now because Aheng had always disappointed her, and now she had finally grown up. "Aheng also agrees."
As expected! Chen Heng was completely unprepared. She looked at the wooden box, then at Xie Jian, whose expression remained calm. "Sister-in-law, I'm not."
"Why not?"
Xie Jian also looked at her in confusion.
"I don't know anything." She couldn't stay in the Xie family for long. It was still a few years before Xie Jian married the prince's daughter. Even if she could stay in the Xie family for a long time, she had no intention of managing the household. It would be so tiring. Even if she became rich one day in the future, she would definitely hire someone to take care of it.
