"Only children make choices, I don't want any of them!"
Xia Qiyue decisively rejected Pei Heng.
But at noon the next day, Pei Heng appeared in the small courtyard on time, which gave Xia Qiyue a headache.
But she was not in the mood to cook delicious food today, so she had a home-cooked meal for lunch. Pei Heng was not satisfied and asked to cook him a delicious meal.
Xia Qiyue was so troubled that she made him a double-skin breast.
Because eggs, sugar, and milk were the most indispensable things, she made a lot of them as soon as she made them, which was just in time for other people to eat as afternoon tea.
Pei Heng couldn't stop eating and gave a thumbs up saying it was delicious.
Xia Qiyue shook her head. This foodie is so easily satisfied. If she had an oven, she could actually make more delicious food.
In fact, today she was going to set up a tomb for An Zichen. Although he had no feelings, at least he was still the father of the children.
But she couldn't decide on the tomb site at the moment, and she had been thinking about it all morning with the amulet An Zihao gave her in her hand. It was Pei Heng's arrival that disrupted her thoughts.
After lunch, Pei Heng left in a hurry. He had to go back to class, otherwise the master would be so angry that even the gods would not be able to save him.
In the afternoon, Xia Qiyue was about to buy some peanuts when she came back. As soon as she left the room, she bumped into An Zihao, who was standing there with an awkward expression.
"What's wrong, Lao Wu?" Xia Qiyue asked.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'll go back early in the afternoon...the family Aunt Wang told me about is coming."
"So fast? Didn't you just tell Aunt Wang yesterday?"
An Zihao scratched his head, "It's the orphan girl from Wang's family in the village who was fostered in her uncle's house. Aunt Wang agreed as soon as she said it..."
He had nothing to hide from Xia Qiyue and told the truth.
But her eyes were dim and dull, without any joy of getting married.
Xia Qiyue nodded, but in her memory, she had no impression of the girl from the Wang family that An Zihao talked about, but she also knew that Aunt Wang would not harm them. She should be a good character, and she was an orphan, so there was nothing to tie her down.
.
An Zihao left early, and everything was in Xia Jiuyue's eyes. Although she didn't say anything, she felt uncomfortable, so she picked up the basket and went out to buy groceries to divert her attention.

Yuelai Inn!
The man who was in a coma until he woke up the next morning couldn't regain his senses when he woke up. He stared at the inn room for a long time.
He turned around and saw the note on his pillow. When he picked it up and looked at it, he remembered what happened last night. It was a little girl who saved him, but he fell into a coma not long after he got into the carriage.
His brothers were all dead. He tried his best to kill all the pursuers. He had reached his limit. He could force himself to move to the carriage step by step while he was awake. He used his last bit of strength to hold the carriage and call for help. This was his maximum limit.
He couldn't remember what happened after he fainted.
After reading the letter, a smile broke out on the cold and gloomy face, and it disappeared in a flash. He took out a one hundred tael silver note from his arms and called the waiter.
"Huh? Master, when did your wife go out?" the waiter asked curiously.
There was nothing wrong in the room at this time. He was also sitting on the bed with the quilt covering his legs. The wound on the back of his thigh was not visible, so the waiter only saw that Xia Qiyue was gone.
"Madam?" the man's deep voice repeated.
The waiter in the shop quickly stepped forward to say good things to Xia Qiyue. After all, he even received a tip of two taels of silver.
"Yes, your wife was worried about your health after being drunk, so she asked the little doctor to check your pulse all night long! She also bathed you, you really have a good wife!"
An Zichen's eyes flashed slightly on the bed, and he looked down at his clean clothes and...the smell of alcohol all over his body.
"Ha...she is really a smart little girl..." He whispered.
The waiter didn't hear clearly and asked, "Sir, do you want breakfast to be served?"
An Zichen raised his head and looked towards the window, looking at the big and dazzling sun, "When is it?"
"It's noon!" the waiter replied honestly.
"Just bring some food over here!" An Zichen said.
It was already noon and he still had breakfast. If he were in a military camp, he would have to have a heavy army with thirty soldiers.
By the way, the gloomy and indifferent man in front of him with murderous eyes is undoubtedly Xia Qiyue's husband An Zichen who just received news of his death yesterday.
After Xia Qiyue sent An Zihao away, Li Zheng came looking for him not long after, and it was An Zihao who brought him here.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you met me on the street and asked me to bring her here, saying that I would take you to collect your pension!" An Zihao explained first.
"Come and sit in the room, Uncle Li Zheng!" Xia Qiyue stepped aside and asked Li Zheng to come in.
But Li Zheng waved his hand, "I won't go in. You should hurry up and get ready to collect the pension with me. If you wait any longer, you won't get it today!"
Xia Qiyue walked behind Li Zheng, holding a thick stack of pensions in her hand, amounting to a thousand taels. She couldn't believe it.
According to her understanding, the military pension seems to be only a few dozen taels, right? Why is An Zichen's pension so much?
Not only her, but also Li Zheng had an expression of disbelief.
He knew how much pensions would be given to soldiers after they died, because there was also a man in the village who joined the army and never came back, and the pension he was given later was thirty taels.
Li Zheng was walking in front, puzzled, and Xia Qiyue was walking behind, but she probably knew why.
Maybe An Zichen has a military position and his position is not low, so his pension is more than that of a soldier.
"For the Zichen family, how about... this pension..."
"Uncle Li Zheng, think about how old the children are, and think about me as a woman with two children. I still want my son to pursue an official career. The official career is not easy! Besides, with this money, we can
If Jia Xuan'er's career is smooth, won't the whole clan follow Rong Guang? Let me ask, who else in our An clan can afford to provide students?"
The implication is that if the An family wants to stand up, they can only rely on her son.
Not to mention how smart Xuan'er is, and not to mention how many smart children there are in the clan, he can't afford the tuition alone.
Li Zheng remained silent. Although he was walking forward, his pace was very slow, waiting for Xia Qiyue's final answer.
"Uncle Li Zheng, don't worry. If my parents really don't have enough to eat or get sick, as the daughter-in-law, I won't just watch and ignore them!"
Xia Qiyue didn't care about the pension, because she was about to lose ten thousand taels of silver. She didn't lack this, but Lao An's family was greedy. If she told them that An Zihao's pension was one thousand taels,
Then they will think that there must be more, and even if she gives them a thousand taels, they will still ask her for money in the future, endlessly.
Li Zheng suddenly came to his senses, yes, instead of giving this money to Huo Huo Wan of Lao An's family, it would be better to let Zichen's family train his son, and maybe he could borrow it all in the future.
Even if it is given to Lao An, it is still a matter of debate whether the children at home can go to school. Even if they go, if all the grandchildren go, the money will not be enough.
"Okay! If you ask, just say that I gave you thirty taels. This is also an example!"
The next day, after Xia Qiyue waited for An Zihao to arrive, he drove him to find the tomb site near Baijia Village.
