Bao Suyun touched her belly a little shyly.
"Your fifth uncle said that it doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, as long as the child is healthy," she said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded in agreement.
Bao Suyun asked Yang Ruoqing again: "I haven't returned to the village for several days. Is your mother okay?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "My mother is fine."
Then, he told Bao Suyun that he planned to build a new house at the end of the month.
Bao Suyun was very happy: "Tell your mother later that I will go back to the village to help her cook for the craftsmen."
"Fifth Aunt, I would like to thank you on behalf of my mother for your kindness, but no need, your body is weak, it is better to take good care of yourself." Yang Ruoqing said.
Bao Suyun said: "I have taken good care of myself these days. Besides, when your house is built, my body will be better and I won't be tired from cooking."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Let's discuss it then."
The two of them sat drinking tea and eating jujube cake.
Bao Suyun and Yang Ruoqing were asking about other things in the village.
She then told the story about Mrs. Tan's stabbing of Mrs. Liu.
"ah?"
Bao Suyun was shocked and sat there shaking his head.
"Your breasts are so strong." She murmured.
"It seems that she was really merciful to me in the past when I only took a broom but not a kitchen knife." Bao Suyun said.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
The two chatted and laughed again, and Luo Fengtang's voice came from outside the yard.
"Haha, as soon as I mentioned Tang Yazi, he came to pick you up." Bao Suyun said.
Yang Ruoqing stood up with a smile and responded outside.
The two opened the door and walked out. Luo Fengtang had already entered the yard.
Seeing Bao Suyun, he nodded respectfully towards her and called her 'Fifth Aunt'.
Bao Suyun smiled and said: "Tangyazi, are you here to pick up Qing'er?"
Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded again, his eyes falling on Yang Ruoqing beside Bao Suyun.
Tenderness, pampering, no matter how hard you try, you can't hide it.
It made Yang Ruoqing feel a little embarrassed for such a thick-skinned person.
Suddenly, she glanced at the edge of the well out of the corner of her eye and was surprised.
"Fifth Aunt, Fifth Uncle's shoes are missing!"
"No way?"
Bao Suyun said, looking towards the well.
"Oh, it's a clear day. Why are the shoes at the door missing? How could this happen?" Bao Suyun said.
Yang Ruoqing was also drunk.
Wild cats and dogs will not come and take away shoes.
Apparently someone had stolen it.
His eyes swept across the east room opposite and the main room over there.
"Fifth Aunt, who are the people living in this yard?"
Yang Ruoqing lowered her voice and asked Bao Suyun, who was still there and had not recovered.
Bao Suyun thought for a moment and said, "The landlord's family lives in the main house."
"The landlord is about the same age as your mother. He has a son and a daughter. He is not at home during the day."
"The first room in the east room lives in a man about the same age as your fifth uncle. In the second and third rooms, there is a young couple setting up a stall." Bao Suyun said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
The East Room is the most suspect because there is a man of the same age as Yang Huazhou.
But in a yard, someone stole shoes and didn’t look up when he looked down. How dare he wear them out?
The courtyard door is not locked during the day and is open.
Maybe it was someone who lived nearby, and he might have stolen it by the way.
"It's just a pair of shoes. It doesn't matter if you lose them. However, Fifth Aunt needs to be more vigilant. There are thieves in this place!"
Yang Ruoqing warned Bao Suyun.
Bao Suyun nodded: "Yes, I will."
Bao Suyun also wanted to send the two of them out of the alley, and Yang Ruoqing pointed to the unlocked door to the west room.
"Fifth Aunt, it's better to go back quickly."
…
When I got home, my uncle and aunt had already returned to Sunjiagou.
Yang Huazhong went to Lijiacun to pick up Daan and Dajie after school.
Mrs. Sun was cutting clothes in the house. It was almost March and the weather was getting warmer.
The family’s cotton-padded clothes are about to be replaced, so spring clothes must be made as soon as possible.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang come in, Mrs. Sun was very happy. She temporarily put down her clothes and poured tea for them.
"Why are you coming back late today?" asked Sun.
Yang Ruoqing took a sip of tea and said, "Sit at Fifth Aunt's place for a while."
Mrs. Sun asked again: "How is your fifth aunt doing?"
"Well, he looks pretty good, and his face looks better than when he was at home." Yang Ruoqing said.
Sun was relieved now.
Luo Fengtang helped put the things purchased from the county into Yang Ruoqing's house.
Come and say goodbye to them.
Sun said: "I'll eat here at night."
Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "No need, I passed by the restaurant and packed two portions of cooked food."
"Qing'er asked me to take one away. I happened to be drinking with my uncle that night," he said.
Mrs. Sun nodded and no longer forced her to stay.
The woman sat down and continued sewing. Yang Ruoqing sat aside to rest.
"Mom, these two **** are not at home. Has anything happened with my grandma?" She asked curiously.
Sun said while pulling the thread: "Don't mention it!"
"Your father asked your sister-in-law to persuade you to make amends and give you something earlier so that this matter can be cleared up."
"Your aunt is good. She didn't try to persuade her. She even ran to fight with her fourth aunt, saying she wanted to stand up for you." Mrs. Sun said.
"ah?"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned.
"Who won the fight between my sister-in-law and my fourth aunt?" she asked quickly.
Sun said: "When it comes to fighting, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose."
"Your fourth aunt was knocked down by your sister-in-law, and her arm was broken. She is wearing a bandage right now."
"Your sister-in-law is not much better either. Her hair was pulled off by your fourth aunt, leaving one side of her forehead bald." Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing was dumbfounded.
"Oh, I went to the county town and missed such a wonderful show. It's a pity."
She shook her head and sighed.
Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment and gave Yang Ruoqing an angry look. She also couldn't laugh or cry.
"The mess is getting bigger and bigger, so what's the next step?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Sun shook her head: "I don't know yet. Your father must be busy mediating. This morning, I asked your uncle to accompany me to Liujia Village."
"Your fourth aunt and Mrs. Liu are both lying in bed recovering from their injuries at the moment. Your fourth uncle is responsible for all the people in the room eating, drinking and defecating."
"It's a mess. You cry and she yells every day. It's so smoky that I won't let Xiao An go to the front yard."
…
Early the next morning, Yang Ruoqing was woken up by the sound of scolding.
She lay on the bed without getting up, distinguishing the two voices.
One came from the west room in the front yard and was Mrs. Liu.
The other one is from the east room in the front yard and belongs to Mr. Tan.
The two old ladies were lying on the bed and yelling at the window.
You say something to me, I say a bunch of dirty words, and my ancestors have greeted me for eighteen generations without any repetition.
Yang Ruoqing turned over and listened with great interest.
These two old ladies seemed to have a curse book in their hands.
So cool!
A real strong showdown.
the next morning.
Same points again.
The war of words started again.
The third day, the fourth day, it’s still the same...
