He settled the three children, took Song Yanzhi's arm, and took her to her room.

"What happened?"

Song Yanzhi looked at Han Heming in confusion.

"I want to ask you a favor."

Han Heming looked at Song Yanzhi steadily, his expression extremely solemn. The woman in front of him had an unknown origin, so how could he be trusted?

"You said."

When Song Yanzhi saw Han Heming's expression, she knew that something big might have happened.

"I'm going on a long trip. If everything goes well, I'll be back in a month or two, or maybe three to five years. Could you help me take care of my three children?"

It's snowing heavily now. If he takes his three children out, he might not even be able to reach Hongshi Town. The children will probably be too cold to bear it.

He couldn't ignore what was happening outside. His uncle's family had been very kind to him. If they hadn't helped him and secretly hired someone to teach him martial arts and calligraphy, he wouldn't have had the confidence he had now to break with the people in the Han family's old house.

"Okay, be careful out there, I'll take care of the child for you."

Song Yanzhi did not ask Han Heming what he was going out for. She had already discovered that Han Heming was not an ordinary person.

A man who grew up with his grandparents since he was five years old would never have become such a powerful hunter if no one taught him otherwise.

"This is for you. It's not safe for you, a woman with three children, to live at the foot of the mountain. If I haven't returned by spring, you can take the children and go to town or the county seat, buy a house, and live there."

Han Heming took out a stack of silver notes from her bosom, a total of ten thousand taels. With this silver in hand, she and the children could buy a small courtyard in the county town and raise her three children without worrying about food and drink.

This time, Song Yanzhi didn't ask him where the money came from. She took the banknote and said silently, "Okay, be careful."

She is not a kind-hearted person, nor is she a heartless person. This man gave her a stable home when he came through. She helped take care of his children, which is her way of repaying him.

Maybe this man will never come back, and she will have to help her raise the child for the rest of her life.

But what does that matter?

When she came into this world, she was a lonely person.

She had no plans to get married and have children. In this world, medical technology was not well developed, and she didn't want to be like Han Heming's ex-wife, who gave birth to a child for her son and ended up with two lives.

Having these three children can give her a better identity and help her gain a foothold in this world.

"Big boy, second boy, come out."

After Han Heming and Song Yanzhi finished talking, they walked into the main room.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

The eldest child took the second child out of Han Heming's room.

"Daddy is going out for a while. Are you willing to let her take care of you? If not, Daddy will send you to Grandpa's house or your grandmother's house."

"Where is Daddy going? When will he be back?"

Big Boy looked at his father with a bit of uneasiness in his eyes. His father had gone into the mountains to hunt before, and at that time he would be gone for several days, but his father would tell them that he was going hunting and would be back soon.

This time, Daddy didn't tell me what he was going to do. Was he going to a very far place? Even farther than Red Stone Town?

"The place Daddy is going to is very far from here. He will come back when the snow melts."

"Will Daddy bring me some candy when he comes back?"

Erwa stood beside his brother, blinking his clear big eyes innocently. In his mind, there was a place far away, which was Hongshi Town. There were crispy candies in Hongshi Town, which he loved the most.

"Of course I'll bring some candy for Erwa."

Han Heming gently touched the second child's head and looked at the eldest child again.

"We'll follow stepmother. Daddy, please come back soon."

He didn't want to go to his grandfather's house or his grandmother's house. He just wanted to stay at his own home.

"If you want to stay at home, you can't call me stepmother anymore. You have to call me mother. I know you want to say that you have a mother. No one will forget your mother, but daddy is not at home. You and your brothers are the only men in the family.

The second and third children are still young, and you are the eldest man in the family. If you call her stepmother, others will bully her if they hear it.

Do you want your mother to be bullied by others?"

Song Yanzhi almost burst out laughing when she heard this. Da Wa has always been a very responsible little boy. Han Heming is just trying to pua his own son.

"Okay, I'll call you mom."

Da Wa looked at Han Heming, then at Song Yanzhi. Seeing Song Yanzhi's gentle eyes, he seemed to have made a big decision before saying this.

"Then you have to listen to your mother at home and help her take care of your brother, okay?"

Han Heming gave his family everything and went to pack his bags. The eldest and second child knew that their father was going out, so they followed Han Heming closely.

"I'll make you some dry food."

There was beef jerky and venison jerky at home, and Song Yanzhi packed them all in a package for Han Heming. She also boiled more than 20 eggs and three white flour pancakes as big as pots for him, cut them into small pieces and put them in the package.

Han Heming didn't let Song Yanzhi and the children see him off, but Song Yanzhi still took the hands of Da Wa and Er Wa and sent Han Heming to the gate of the courtyard.

"It's snowing heavily and cold, you should go back."

It was snowing heavily outside. They had only walked from the main room to the gate of the courtyard when the four of them were already covered with a thick layer of snow.

Han Heming didn't want Song Yanzhi and the children to suffer from the cold, so he brushed off the snowflakes on the hoods of the eldest and second child and spoke softly to the three of them.

"Daddy, come back soon."

As the eldest child spoke, his eyes became red. The second child was still young and didn't understand the pain of separation, so he spoke happily.

"Daddy, remember to buy some candy."

"You're a little foodie, just remember to eat."

The eldest child was so angry that he slapped the second child's arm, and the second child pouted in grievance.

Han Heming laughed and looked at Song Yanzhi.

"please."

Song Yanzhi smiled back.

"Safe travels."

Han Heming nodded, leaned over to hug his two sons, and strode away into the distance.

He walked for a while and turned around to see his mother and two other children still standing at the gate looking at him. He waved.

"Go back quickly."

Song Yanzhi took her two children and watched Han Heming gradually go away until only a small black dot was left.

“Let’s go back.”

She bent down to pull the two children, and saw the eldest child's tears falling.

"Don't cry. Didn't Daddy say he would come back when the snow melts?"

Song Yanzhi squatted down and picked up both children. The two children were dressed warmly and it was very difficult for her to hold them.

The eldest child threw himself into Song Yanzhi's arms and hummed softly. The second child struggled and refused to let Song Yanzhi hold him.

"Mom, hug my brother. He's crying."

Erwa wanted to run back to the house happily, but then he remembered that his brother was crying, so he couldn't be too happy. He slowed down his pace and walked towards the main room.

Song Yanzhi found it funny.

The eldest brother, who was originally sad, sighed softly when he saw his younger brother's appearance. What a heartless little bastard! When his father comes back, he will complain to his father and ask his father to give Han Erwa a good beating.
