"Aheng, are you home yet?" Xia Shiyi was picking vegetables on the other side. Seeing her sister-in-law was still in front of the pork shop, she shouted.
"Here it comes." Chen Heng listened to the news and thought about the historical knowledge she knew. At that time, history exams were open-book, and she only managed to copy enough to pass. She only memorized a few important figures and the historical timeline occasionally.
If she had the chance again, she would definitely read history.
"This cake smells so good." Xia pulled her sister-in-law to a cake stall and said, "Give me two pieces of cake, with dumplings."
Chen Heng happily took one of the pieces and took a bite. Wow, it was soft, sticky and hot. The red bean paste inside was sweet and smooth, with a fresh fragrance and not at all greasy.
Seeing Xia wrapping up one of the pieces, she said, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to eat it?"
"I don't want to eat it. I'll give it to Ajian." Xia put the big cake into the basket. She saved every penny she could.
Chen Heng was deeply moved. Xie Jian, her sister-in-law, was truly too naive. She always wronged herself. Thinking of the silver hidden by the original owner, the Xie family knew how much silver the original owner had, but no matter how poor they were, they never forced the original owner to take it out, let alone rob it.
From this point of view, whether it is Xia or Xie Jian, their behavior in terms of money is still acceptable.
I feel a little embarrassed to hide these two hundred silver coins.
She couldn't just think about herself when others treated her like this.
When we got home, although it was still early, Xia had already started preparing lunch. Washing and cooking looked simple, but time passed in the blink of an eye.
Xie Jian was reading a book seriously, writing something from time to time. When he looked out the window, he saw Chen Heng sitting on a small chair, scribbling on the ground with a branch.
Chen Heng was thinking about doing business. She had been here for almost two months. Most women who traveled through time would have been doing business while fighting at home. Those who bullied and insulted her had already received retribution, and she had already collected her first pot of gold.
But she didn't know what to do.
There was also the matter of her sister-in-law and Min'er. She always felt that something big was going to happen in the next few days. She threw away the branches that were poking around and stood up. Just as she was about to help her sister-in-law, she saw Xie Jian looking at her through the window, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
It was really rare for him to focus his attention on her. Chen Heng naturally knew that Xie Jian paid attention to her because she had been helping him all this time. Even the coldest and most indifferent person would feel it.
Seeing Chen Heng giving him a brilliant smile, Xie Jian awkwardly averted his gaze and continued reading.
The next few days passed peacefully.
Chen Heng went to pick up little Xie Min from school every day, and there was only one day left before Xie Jian went to college.
"Sister-in-law, Ajian, I'm going to pick up Min'er." Shen Heng shouted.
"Come up earlier. Don't play too late." Xia leaned out from the kitchen. This sister-in-law was like a child when she was in a playful mood. Just now, Min'er liked to play, but now, this aunt was closer to her than her mother.
Counting the time, Shen Heng arrived at Master Qi's doorstep.
Then I felt a little strange. Although there are few children here, there will definitely be a few vendors around as soon as school is over, and adults will buy something for the children to satisfy their cravings.
"Aunt Min'er? Why are you here?" Master Qi was coming hurriedly from one end of the street.
"Master Qi? Have you left the hall?"
"I'm off. Something happened at home, so I was released at 5:55 PM. What happened? Didn't Xie Min go home?"
Shen Heng's expression changed.
"Don't worry, the child likes to play. He must be playing somewhere. You can look for him and shout. He will come home when he hears him." Master Qi was not worried at all. Children, after all, like to play.
