Led by Mule, the group went straight to the door of Jin'e's second brother's house.
On the low courtyard wall, two simple large wooden stakes supported the frame of a courtyard door, with a dilapidated wooden plank on top, and two bundles of straw on top of the wooden plank.
It was a clear day and the courtyard door was tightly closed.
"This is it," said the mule.
Yang Ruoqing nodded and went directly to pat the courtyard door.
A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen opposite the courtyard door, "Which one is it?"
"Come here for a visit." Yang Ruoqing said crisply.
When the woman came to the courtyard gate, the mule and the others had already squatted down as agreed in advance.
Yang Ruoqing was left standing alone at the courtyard door with several holes in it.
The woman put her eyes on the hole and looked outside for a few times, only to see a young daughter-in-law who looked quiet and delicate standing outside.
The woman relaxed her guard and opened the courtyard door.
I saw several women standing outside the door, and a man.
"Where are you from? What are you here for?" the woman asked with a vigilant look on her face, pretending to close the courtyard door.
Yang Ruoqing stretched out a hand to hold the door directly, but the woman couldn't close it even with all her strength.
"I don't know you, please leave quickly!" The woman said again with alarm bells ringing in her heart.
"Auntie, we are from Changping Village. We are here to find Aunt Jin'e and Xiaoqin. Are they in the house?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
The farmer's family is simple and simple. Logically speaking, when someone from the in-laws' side comes over, they should be greeted to come in for a drink of water no matter what.
This woman was afraid of them going in, which further indicated that there was something wrong in the house.
"Jin'e and Xiaoqin are not at my house. They are at brother Jin'e's house. You go to his house to look for them!"
The woman turned her eyes and said quickly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Mom, we are a little thirsty. This is at your door. Can you go in and ask for some tea?"
"I don't have hot water in my house..."
"We are used to raw water."
"I didn't carry any water in my water tank, not even a drop of water..."
"Bullshit!"
Yang Ruoqing's patience was exhausted. She raised her hand and pushed the woman aside, and then led her people directly into the house.
The woman behind was anxious, slapping her thigh and shouting loudly: "Someone, come quickly, it's serious, there's a robber in broad daylight!"
Yang Ruoqing paused and turned to look at the woman.
This is not to call the neighbors, but to remind the people in the house to hide quickly, right?
Yang Ruoqing rushed into the main room in three steps and happened to see a figure flash into the wing on the left.
She chased in and saw Granny Xiaoqin stuffing the girl into the clothes cabinet in the corner.
The door of the clothes cabinet was open, and the second girl was lying inside, with a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
The eldest girl is already six or seven years old and is gradually starting to become sensible. She is obviously not willing to go into the cabinet.
There he was struggling and competing with Jin E, which wasted his time and was caught by Yang Ruoqing and Dayun who followed closely behind.
"Oh my god, Sister-in-law Jin'e, what are you doing?"
Dayun was the first to ask aloud. Seeing that the mouths of the two children were stuffed with cloth strips, Dayun was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Jin'e looked panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment!
Yang Ruoqing rushed over and opened the cupboard door, took the second girl out, pulled out the cloth from the child's mouth and threw it directly at Jin E's face.
"Are you sick? Do you know that if you treat your granddaughter like this, she will be suffocated to death?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a cold face.
At the same time, Dayun and Yuzhi also came over and pulled the big girl from Jin'e's clutches to them.
Only then did Jin E react. She screamed and said to everyone, "What are you going to do? This is my granddaughter. Do you want to snatch the child?"
Yang Ruoqing handed the second girl who was crying uncontrollably to Yuzhi and asked her to take the child outside to comfort her first.
Then she came to Jin'e and asked, "Where is Xiaoqin? Where is she?"
Jin E snorted, "Xiao Qin? Forget about that restless Wandering Hoof, I'm still looking for her!"
"What do you mean? Where is Xiaoqin?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Jin E snorted, "My daughter-in-law, what does it have to do with you?"
"Are you going to say it or not? If you don't say it, I will drag you to see the officials and accuse you of seeking wealth and murder and kill your daughter-in-law!" Yang Ruoqing said.
Jin E was still panicked when she heard that she was going to be taken to see the officials.
He quickly changed his words: "Who said she is dead? She ran away with someone, I think she is dead!"
"Who did you run away with?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Jin E rolled her eyes, "How do I know who I ran away with? She ran away secretly while I was sleeping at night. Most likely she couldn't bear the loneliness of being a widow and ran away secretly with the man she was dating. I treat her as dead. Already..."
"My mother is not dead, and my mother did not run away with anyone. She was taken away!" The big girl stuck her head out from behind Dayun and shouted at Jin'e!
Jin E's sharp eyes swept across like a knife.
"Shut up, you damn girl. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!" Jin E yelled.
His hair was on fire, and his face was even more distorted.
Where is there any trace of grandmother's love? Hideous and terrifying, like a devil.
The eldest girl turned pale with fright, and looked at her grandma with unfamiliar eyes.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. Aunt Qing'er is here and I will support you. Your mother won't dare to do anything to you!" Yang Ruoqing said quickly.
Dayun also quickly said: "Yes, don't be afraid, big girl, your grandma Dayun is here, don't be afraid!"
In this house, Dayun and Jin E are of the same generation. Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoqin both call Dayun their aunt.
So the daughter of Xiaoqin's family naturally called Dayun grandma.
The eldest girl regained her composure and continued: "On the way my grandma took us to my uncle's house, two strangers, a man and a woman, came over. They didn't know what my mother drank, and my mother fell asleep. It’s over,”
"They put my mother on a bullock cart, covered her with a quilt and took her away. My mother didn't let me say anything!"
The big girl finished speaking in one breath, and Jin E over there was too late to stop her.
She jumped up in anger and reached out to hit the big girl.
"You are as restless as a bitch, just like your mother. Tell lies and throw dirty water on me. Let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
Jin'e grabbed the eldest girl's braid, pulled the child out from behind Dayun, and slapped her little face twice.
Dayun didn't react at all. When he did, the child's face turned red.
Jin E wanted to fight again, but Yang Ruoqing had already rushed forward and held Jin E's hand.
He slapped Jin E twice on the face and pushed her to the ground.
"You crazy bitch, you are not worthy of breastfeeding at all!" Yang Ruoqing even spat in Jin'e's face.
Normally, she wouldn't spit easily, it's too rude.
I really can't hold it in anymore, I'm so angry!
