[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

Shan Shijiang bowed deeply, and Han Heming hurried forward to help him up.

"Master Shan is so polite."

"Brother Han, I really can't bring myself to bother you and your wife anymore. It's really hard for my cousin to move. Shan Shijiang begs Brother Han and your wife to let my brother stay at your house for two more days.

Don't worry, we'll leave as soon as my cousin can move."

Shan Shijiang knew that he came here just to ask for help, so he was very humble.

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that Madam Xu said that we can't agree. I have a wife and children, and I need a place to stay."

Han Heming had a good impression of Shan Shijiang, and seeing that Shan Shijiang was respectful, he told Shan Shijiang what was in his heart.

"Brother Han, I apologize to you on behalf of my aunt. You have given us two rooms, and Shi Jiang is already very grateful. I really can't trouble you two to move rooms anymore. This is enough.

Shi Jiang will persuade his aunt to return to town, and Shi Jiang will look after his cousin. There won't be any extra people around to disturb you two. What do you think?

Shijiang, please."

After Shan Shijiang finished speaking, he bowed again.

Seeing the seven-foot-tall man pleading in such a humble manner, Han Heming glanced at Song Yanzhi. Song Yanzhi nodded slightly, and then Han Heming responded to Dan Shijiang's words.

They didn't like Madam Xu's attitude. It was okay, but they couldn't offend Xu Jia too much. After all, the Xu family was the local tycoon of the town. If they offended them too much, they would have a hard time in Hongshi Town in the future.

When Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu left, Han Heming and Song Yanzhi did not go out to see them off. People looked down on their small family, so they would not bother to please others.

As soon as they left, only Shan Shijiang and Doctor Liu were left, and the yard suddenly became much quieter.

"Master Shan, you guys don't have a stove today, why don't you join us for dinner?"

Shan Shijiang had agreed at the beginning that they would provide for their own food and lodging and only rent the Han family's house. They had been taking care of Xu Liu's injury today and had no time to buy oil or food.

Since they lived in the Han family, they couldn't let others go hungry. After Han Heming discussed it with Song Yanzhi, Han Heming made the invitation.

Song Yanzhi had long thought that Shan Shijiang would not take Xu Liu away easily, and she also thought that they had no place to eat, so when she was cooking, she prepared meals for Shan Shijiang and Doctor Liu.

The food was served: stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken, stewed venison with wild mushrooms, hot and sour cabbage, stir-fried lentil shreds, and two pots of pear blossom wine.

As soon as Shan Shijiang and Doctor Liu saw the dishes, they realized that the Han family might not be that simple. Doctor Liu often walked around the town and had little experience, but Shan Shijiang was the young master of a big family.

Judging from the appearance of these dishes, even the chefs in their house would not be able to make them.

Han Heming invited Shan Shijiang and Doctor Liu to sit down. The three of them first shared a glass of wine. Shan Shijiang picked up a chopstick of spicy and sour cabbage shreds.

As soon as the sour, spicy and crispy shredded vegetables took a bite, Shan Shijiang burst into laughter.

"Sister-in-law is a good cook."

Doctor Liu also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and his eyes lit up. He was old and had a sweet tooth, so he loved this sweet dish the most.

"Are these pork ribs?"

Seeing Han Heming nodded.

"It's delicious. My sister-in-law is so virtuous."

"You two are too kind."

Han Heming looked outside the house modestly. Outside the kitchen door, the little girl's fair face was slightly lowered, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was picking up ribs for his two children.

When Shan Shijiang saw this, his eyes flashed.

"Brother Han, the food cooked by sister-in-law is really delicious. I have an uninvited request. I hope Brother Han and sister-in-law can discuss it."

Han Heming's gaze towards Song Yanzhi was interrupted, and he looked at Shan Shijiang.

"Master Shan, you're welcome. Please speak up if you have anything to say."

"Doctor Liu and I can't cook, so I wonder if we can have three meals a day with you. We are not picky eaters, so whatever sister-in-law cooks, just make more for Doctor Liu and me.

Don't worry, Brother Han, I'll go to town tomorrow to buy food and vegetables, so my sister-in-law won't have worked in vain. If she wants any silver per day, she can just ask and it's all settled."

This matter depends on Song Yanzhi's attitude. He can't agree to it on Song Yanzhi's behalf casually.

"Master Shan, it's not that I don't agree to your request. As you can see, I have three children and your sister-in-law is very busy every day. I have to discuss this matter with her first."

"That's right. Brother Han should discuss this with his sister-in-law first."

"Come, eat some food, eat some food."

After Song Yanzhi finished her meal with the two children, she fed the third child goat milk, washed the three children with hot water, and then took the three children back to her room.

She took out a cool mat and spread it on the ground, then put a thin summer quilt on top of it, and let the three children play on the ground. She lit an oil lamp and sat beside them to sew shoe soles.

Han Heming pushed the door open and came in, and saw such a heartwarming scene.

"Why did it end so early?"

"Doctor Liu doesn't drink, and Master Shan is worried about his cousin, so we'll just have a couple of drinks."

Han Heming picked up the third child from the ground and prepared to coax him to sleep.

"Mr. Shan and Doctor Liu want you to bring their meals when you cook. What do you think?"

Perhaps it was because Han Heming was sitting too close to Song Yanzhi, Song Yanzhi smelled a faint scent of alcohol. For some reason, she felt that this smell of alcohol was inexplicably pleasant.

"This Mr. Shan is getting a little too far. Please help me reject him directly."

Logically speaking, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were provided with a few meals while they were staying at his house, but both Shan Shijiang and the Xu family looked down on their family.

They don't have to rush to please others.

"Okay, I'll take the kids to bed, and you should get some rest too."

The next day, Song Yanzhi did not cook for Shan Shijiang and Doctor Liu. If Shan Shijiang had not said that, she thought that since they did not have a stove, she could still prepare breakfast for them.

This Shan Shijiang was too rude, and she didn't want to be kind anymore.

Han Heming said to Shan Shijiang a little embarrassedly: "My wife is really too busy, please forgive me, Mr. Shan."

Shan Shijiang didn't say anything else. He rode his horse to the town and bought food for him and Doctor Liu from the restaurant.

But... Song Yanzhi looked at the square table in the main room, which was filled with cakes and fruits, as well as two fragrant roast geese, and she couldn't help but look at Han Heming.

"Mr. Shan said he was grateful to our family for saving his cousin, and he bought snacks for the children. I couldn't refuse."

"We'll accept it this time, but next time we won't accept anything from him."

Song Yanzhi had a good idea, but Shan Shijiang did not do as she wished. At lunch time, there was a serving of Liu Ji's braised beef on the table at Song Yanzhi's house.

"Mr. Shan, you and Doctor Liu can eat. My meal is ready."

"Don't be polite, sister-in-law. We are really upset that we disturbed Brother Han and sister-in-law. I hope you can understand.
