"Because from her point of view, her own mother's birthday, even though it is a small one, and Uncle Wenxuan's birthday is the big one, it makes sense for her as a daughter to add some gifts."
"So let's turn this matter around and let Uncle Shuanzi go and bring my sister-in-law back. We can all go to the banquet happily the next day."
When leaving Lao Wang's house, Yang Ruoqing said these last words.
Lao Wang's family members expressed no objection, and then sent Wang Shuanzi to Lao Yang's house to pick up Yang Huamei.
…
"Have the letters to your fifth uncle and Da'an been sent?"
In the backyard of Yang Huazhong's house, Ms. Sun, who was making lunch, asked Yang Ruoqing, who was helping out next to her.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "I sent it out last night. Uncle Wu should receive it today."
Mrs. Sun said: "Your fifth uncle and five aunt should all come back to celebrate your birthday. I wonder if your brother Da'an can take the time to come back."
Yang Ruoqing said: "I won't be able to come back because I have a heavy workload during Qingming Festival, so I probably won't come back this time either."
Originally, the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt did not plan to come back in such a big way. The gifts for Tan had already been prepared and stored with Sun.
Everything was due to Yang Wenxuan organizing this grand banquet, so everyone who was working outside, including the second brother in the county, all had to come back.
Moreover, the old Wang family, the old Luo family, the Sun family, the Liu family, the Zhao family, and even the Li family in Lijia Village all have to prepare for this matter.
Yang Huamei also tore off a strand of Shuanzi Niang's hair for this matter. Alas, this matter caused such a fuss...
"Is Tangyazi coming back?" Mrs. Sun then asked Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "He is busy with military affairs, leading troops to fight, suppressing the Black Lotus Sect and the Southern Barbarians, how could he come all the way back for something like this at home?"
Sun said: "I just asked casually. Our son and son-in-law are all busy with big things."
"As long as we are here, everything at home will be fine," she said.
"Yeah." Yang Ruoqing nodded.
She was helping Mr. Sun cook lunch. On the other side, Wang Cuilian came over in a hurry.
"Qing'er, your cousin Zhou Wang is here. Your uncle asked me to come here to find you. There is something wrong." Wang Cuilian said as she entered the room.
"What's the matter, aunt?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Wang Cuilian glanced at Sun, then at Yang Ruoqing, and said in a low voice: "It's about Zhou Xia."
"Zhou Xia? What's wrong with her?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Wang Cuilian said: "It's time to give birth. It's difficult to give birth. I gave birth at home for two days and two nights but I didn't give birth. I only have one breath left."
"ah?"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, and Sun's face was also full of shock.
"I'm not a stable woman, so there's no point in looking for me..." she said.
Wang Cuilian said: "Your cousin Zhou Wang is here to see your uncle. He wants your uncle to come over and help persuade him."
"Zhou Xia didn't want to go to the town's medical center to have a baby. Your aunt was afraid of her life, so she went to ask Zhou Wang for advice. Zhou Wang couldn't persuade her, so she had to force Zhou Xia to be sent directly to Yihechun Medical Center in the town. "
"I'm having a baby right now. Your aunt and Xiaohuan are accompanying you in the hospital. Your cousin Zhou Wang, Xu, has no master, so he came to our place to find your uncle."
"I want your uncle to go to the medical clinic with you, but your cousin Zhou Wang is also completely panicked. With Zhou Xia's behavior, I'm afraid it won't work..."
"Where has your uncle ever encountered such a thing? He had to send me to find you, and wanted you to accompany him to the hospital. What if this person dies later? They are all panicking..."
If they die, just take them back and bury them. People like Zhou Xia are best dealt with. They deserve to be thrown to the roadside to be fed to dogs.
Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, why did she have to involve herself in her death?
Here, Mrs. Sun saw Yang Ruoqing's resistance, and the woman persuaded her: "Qing'er, even if it's for your uncle, you can go there. It doesn't matter whether you live or die. Your cousin has already run away. Why don't you take a trip to see what's going on along this stretch of road?"
Yang Ruoqing couldn't resist Sun's persuasion, and couldn't bear to refuse Wang Cuilian's request.
"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look." She took off the apron from her waist, washed her hands, and ran to Lao Luo's house behind Wang Cuilian.
When the old Luo family, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian arrived, Blacksmith Luo and Zhou Wang were already leading the carriage at the gate of the yard.
It seemed that Tiejiang Luo had given up waiting for Yang Ruoqing, or he felt that she probably wouldn't go, so he didn't want to force it.
But when he saw Yang Ruoqing arriving in such a hurry, Blacksmith Luo was still surprised, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"Qing'er..."
"Stop saying anything, get in the car and go to the hospital quickly." Yang Ruoqing said, and then got into the car.
Blacksmith Luo also got on the carriage, and sat in front with Zhou Wang to drive the carriage, and the carriage began to drive.
Yang Ruoqing lowered the curtain of the carriage and said to Wang Cuilian who was seeing her off on the side of the road: "Auntie, go over and help my mother-in-law take care of the two children later. She can't handle it alone."
Wang Cuilian nodded repeatedly, "Okay, don't worry, I'll go right away!"
…
In town, Yihechun Medical Center.
When Yang Ruoqing and the others arrived at the door of the ward in the backyard, they heard screams like slaughtering pigs coming from the closed ward.
Those were Zhou Xia's cries with a changed tone, one after another, heartbreaking.
"Who are there in the ward?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Zhou Wang said: "My mother and Xiaohuan are here, as well as the old doctor from the medical clinic. It's not convenient for my uncle and I to go in. Qing'er, why don't you go in and see what's going on?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded and was about to go in when a loud baby's cry suddenly came from inside the room.
"Giving birth? Is this giving birth?" Zhou Wang listened to the baby's cries one after another in the room, and his mouth couldn't help but grinned happily.
"I, am I an uncle?" He was a little excited.
Blacksmith Luo also stood at the door and was stunned. Hearing the newborn's cry, the man was also very happy.
"The cry is so loud, it's probably a boy!"
Sure enough, the door opened soon, and Xiaohuan came out of the house with a big belly.
Seeing the three people at the door of the house, Xiaohuan's eyes lit up and he hurried over here.
"Xiaohuan, slow down."
Zhou Wang hurriedly greeted him and supported Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan smiled and greeted Blacksmith Luo and Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaohuan's belly. It must have only been two months ago.
Beside him, Blacksmith Luo's anxious inquiry sounded, pulling Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.
"Xiao Huan, is Xia'er giving birth to a boy or a girl? How is the situation inside now?"
"The baby is a boy." Xiaohuan said.
"When I came out, they were still busy and didn't say any bad words. I saw that the lady's face looked a little bad. I hope she is safe and sound." Xiaohuan said.
Blacksmith Luo and Zhou Wang were worried again.
"Then let's all wait at the door. The old doctor must be busy inside now, so don't disturb him." Yang Ruoqing said.
