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

Han Heming had just stopped the ox cart when he ran into an acquaintance. He saw two young men walking out of the pharmacy, waving folding fans.

"Brother Han, sister-in-law, are you coming to town?"

Xu Liu smiled brightly.

Xu Liu almost died in a wolf's den in Hongya Mountain, and it was Han Heming who rescued him. He was very grateful to Han Heming.

"Yes, I came to the town to sell tigers."

Han Heming jumped off the ox cart and talked to Xu Liu. Song Yanzhi didn't like the Xu family, so she just smiled and nodded to Xu Liu.

"Tiger? Did you beat him, Brother Han?"

Xu Liu and the young man beside him, their eyes lit up.

Han Heming nodded.

"Yes."

"Can we take a look?"

Boys seem to have a natural liking for large animals. When they heard that Han Heming had beaten a tiger, they both wanted to take a look.

"sure."

Han Heming first carried Erwa and Tuantuan down from the ox cart, then took Sanwa from Song Yanzhi's arms, helped Song Yanzhi down from the ox cart, and then opened the sack covering the flower tiger.

Han Heming's skill in riding a tiger is very good. The tiger only has a bloody hole on the top of its head, while the fur on other parts of its body is shiny and smooth without any damage.

"Wow, this tiger is really big. Brother Han, are you selling it?"

The young man following Xu Liu touched the big tiger and couldn't let it go.

"Qi San, this was earned by my elder brother Han. You are not allowed to snatch it from me."

Xu Liu looked very proud, as if Han Heming was his biological brother.

"Xu Liu, I came all the way here. It's not easy to meet such a good tiger. Can't you just let me go?"

The young master named Qi San tried to persuade Xu Liu by using a gentle strategy.

"Qi San, you can't do this. I've never seen such a big tiger with such a fine hide in my life. So, don't say I'm bullying you. Let's bid for it. The highest bidder wins."

Qi San thought about it and nodded in agreement. Although Xu Liu's family was rich, his family was not much behind. If Xu Liu competed with him, he would let Xu Liu see his strength.

"Since you're going to bid, you might as well include me."

It was another familiar voice. Song Yanzhi looked up and saw Shan Shijiang walking slowly towards her from a distance.

"Cousin? When did you come to Redstone Town?"

Xu Liu strode to Shan Shijiang and hugged him.

"Just happened to see you here from afar, so I came over to call you."

Shan Shijiang smiled gently and walked towards Han Heming and Song Yanzhi to salute.

"Brother Han, Sister-in-law Han, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you two doing well?"

"Everything is fine. How is Brother Shan?"

Han Heming returned the greeting. Song Yanzhi followed Han Heming, bent her knees and saluted without saying a word.

"All good, all good. Brother Han's martial arts are incredible. He was able to kill such a big tiger."

"Brother Shan praised."

After a few people exchanged greetings, Qi San became a little impatient.

"Let's bid first, and you can renew the contract later. I really can't wait."

"Master Qi is really impatient. Let's start bidding. I'll bid one thousand taels of silver."

Shan Shijiang was not at all displeased because Qi San interrupted the greeting. Instead, his smile became even more intense. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he put pressure on Young Master Qi San.

An ordinary tiger with its fur intact can only be sold for three to five hundred taels of silver in Hongshi Town.

Shan Shijiang offered one thousand taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, which was the highest price among high prices.

"Mr. Shan's offer is a bit disrespectful to me. Mr. Mu offers two thousand taels."

The third son of the Qi family was not at all flustered and doubled the amount right away.

"Isn't it cousin Qi San? Are you two playing such a big game? Two thousand taels of silver can buy a tiger in the capital."

Xu Liu was a native of Hongshi Town. No one knew the prices in Hongshi Town better than him. This knowledge made him feel that his cousin and Qi San were being taken advantage of.

And this game of being a sucker was set up by him, so he was in a dilemma whether to bid or not.

"Xu Liu, are you scared now?"

Qi Sanzhi was very proud and acted as if things had just started. Where were our friends? Why were you ruining things like this?

Xu Liu had a hard time saying it. These thousands of taels of silver were nothing to him, but if his father knew that he had spent thousands of taels of silver to buy a tiger, his father would be very angry.

"I...I'll offer two thousand one hundred taels."

"I'll pay three thousand taels."

"I'll pay four thousand taels."

"I'll pay five thousand taels."

Qi San bought the last spotted tiger for five thousand taels of silver.

When Qi San took out five thousand taels of silver and handed it to Han Heming, Han Heming and Song Yanzhi felt that this world was too magical.

"Brother Han, how about it? I'll give it my all. I'll come to your house to play with you tomorrow."

When the tiger was moved to Qi San's carriage, Shan Shijiang winked in Han Heming's ear. Han Heming then realized that Shan Shijiang was helping him to raise the price. It seemed that the young master Qi was from a wealthy family, and Shan Shijiang did not like him very much.

"Thank you, Mr. Shan."

He wanted to clasp his hands in thanks, but Shan Shijiang pressed them down with his hand.

"Brother Han, please prepare some good wine and delicious food tomorrow, especially the braised beef and spicy chicken made by my sister-in-law. They are really amazing."

"I will definitely prepare a feast for you tomorrow."

Watching the three young masters walk away, Han Heming stuffed the banknotes in his hand into Song Yanzhi's bag.

"We've made a lot of money today. What do you think we need to buy? Let's buy it all."

Song Yanzhi really couldn't buy anything, and Han Heming's family property was all with her, so she didn't say no and accepted it with pleasure.

"Let's go buy some cloth first. It's going to be hot soon, and the children's clothes are too small for last year. Jiu and Tuan Tuan don't have summer clothes either. Let's buy some more cloth and make a few sets of clothes for the children.

I will give the extra patchwork bags I have these days to the owner of the cloth shop."

Last summer, Song Yanzhi bought some thin cloth and barely made two sets of spring clothes for Ajiu and Tuantuan. If the family didn't buy more cloth, there would be no thin cloth left to make clothes for the children.

"Buy more, just enough for the children to change and wash. Buy more colors that suit them. Little girls look good in cute clothes."

Song Yanzhi rolled her eyes at Han Heming.

"I'd love to dress nicely, but with five kids like these, I can't look fancy even if I want to."

Song Yanzhi couldn't help but complain.

"How about we go to the pawnshop and buy a servant?"

Han Heming had this plan a long time ago, but because of Ajiu and Tuantuan's identities, he was not in a position to bring strangers home.

"Forget it. I don't like strangers in my house. If she knew about our family situation and told everyone about it, it would be more trouble than it's worth."

Her family was not a wealthy family. Song Yanzhi knew best that the people in the village were talkative and loved to pry into other people's affairs, which she didn't like.

Han Heming seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't insist.

A few days later, Han Heming said he was going to the county to do some things and brought back a mute woman from the county. Of course, this is all a story for later.
