Cui'er's mother cleaned up the house as quickly as possible, came to the door and looked outside, but did not see Cui'er coming back.
"This child, hey..."
She turned back to the house and saw a teapot on the table, and suddenly her mouth felt dry.
She grabbed the teapot and poured herself a bowl of tea. The temperature was just right. Cui'er raised her head and drank it in one gulp.
As soon as I drank it, my eyes suddenly turned dark, then my head felt a little heavy, and my eyelids drooped hard.
Cui Er Niang struggled to hold on to the table and just stood up. Suddenly her vision went dark, and her body straightened up and slipped under the table.
Even the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.
…
Yang Huazhong's family.
Da'an and Xiaohua left for the capital before dawn. Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang drove a carriage to see the young couple off, saying they were going to the intersection of Guandao Road in Qingshui Town.
So the house was deserted.
Mrs. Sun was originally going to tidy up the house of the young couple, but as soon as she sat down on the stool and watched this man leave the house, Mrs. Sun felt empty in her heart.
Before I even finished tidying up the quilt, tears started to fall down.
Seeing Sun's situation, Xiaoduo wanted to persuade her to go back to the house to rest, but Sun refused.
"I don't want to go anywhere right now, I just want to stay in this room." Mrs. Sun said.
Xiaoduo helped Sun sit on a stool nearby, and then came over to tidy up the quilt.
Mrs. Sun sat aside and watched Xiaoduo busy, wiping tears and mumbling to herself.
"They don't know where they are now. They should be on the official road, right?" asked Sun.
Xiaoduo smiled and said, "It should be soon."
Mrs. Sun turned her head and looked out the window for a while, feeling restless and worried.
It was at this moment that Yang Ruoqing entered the house with Xiao Shunzi in her arms.
"Come, let's come and see my aunt."
Yang Ruoqing said to Xiao Shunzi as she walked.
The little guy is four or five months old, his eyes are bright and his bones are spinning.
The little mouth is like that little fish, spitting and playing with bubbles.
Bringing it over and showing it to Mr. Sun will definitely divert some of Mr. Sun's grief about separation.
Sure enough, when Ms. Sun saw Yang Ruoqing carrying Xiao Shunzi into the house, Ms. Sun was surprised for a moment, then her eyes filled with joy, and she quickly got up from her stool and came over.
"Why are you here, Xiao Shunzi? Come on, give me a hug."
Sun clapped her hands towards Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi knew Sun and did not resist.
But a baby of more than four months old doesn't know how to stretch out his arms to pounce. It doesn't matter who holds him, unless he is held by someone he hates and rejects, he will resist crying.
Mrs. Sun was teasing and playing with Xiao Shunzi in her arms, while Yang Ruoqing stood aside and scanned the room.
After touching Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo cooed towards Sun and made two more gestures.
Yang Ruoqing understood instantly.
"Mom, when Da'an goes to the capital, I usually have to be empty for several days. I'm always worried about this and that," Yang Ruoqing said and walked towards Sun's side with a smile.
"But this time I'm not worried at all, because Xiaohua has also gone. The two of them are together and taking care of each other. I feel relieved."
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Sun's face showed a bit of lightness.
"That's true. To tell you the truth, I have been worried before. I couldn't help but wonder if they would be short of this or that?" said Sun.
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "I have asked Brother Xu Mang to buy two young men who know everything from a man in the county to follow Daan and Xiaohua to the capital."
"In addition, where Da'an lives in the capital, there are also two local servants from the capital that Zichuan and the others arranged for him to take care of there."
"The four of us are running errands, Da'an is busy with things outside, and Xiaohua is cooking and washing clothes at home. These little days are in order, so don't worry."
After listening to Yang Ruoqing's advice, Mrs. Sun finally felt relieved.
"Did you really return the bundle to Cui'er and the others?" Mrs. Sun asked again.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
It was originally agreed that Sun would return it, but Yang Ruoqing temporarily planned to return it herself.
The main reason is that Mrs. Sun is a weak-tempered person. When the time comes, she will be too embarrassed to speak clearly when she goes back, which gives Cui'er and his wife an opportunity to take advantage of her.
So Yang Ruoqing went into battle in person, and she was responsible for doing such offending things.
"Well, I returned it and made it clear. As long as they still know a little bit of courtesy and a little bit of face, they probably won't make plans for Da'an anymore." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Sun was startled for a moment, and her face showed a bit of relief. Xiaoduo over there smiled happily.
"Sister said well, you should not save face and speak clearly to your face." Xiaoduo said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled towards Xiaoduo.
"Sure enough, I guessed it right. Their mother-in-laws just have these despicable thoughts. Otherwise, when I said those words, they wouldn't be so guilty that their faces would turn pale, and they wouldn't even have a word to ask or defend."
Yang Ruoqing continued.
Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly, "Hey, what can they say? The window paper has been pierced."
"But fortunately, only our two families know about it. Your aunt and her family don't know about it yet. Let's not say anything and just let this matter pass." Mrs. Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
The two of them were teasing Xiao Shunzi. Yang Ruoqing was worried that Sun's arms would be sore from holding the child for a long time. Just as she was about to take it over, Xiaojie ran to the backyard in a panic.
"Aunt, sister Qing'er, which room are you in?"
"It's in your cousin's room!" Yang Ruoqing quickly responded outside.
Xiaojie then ran into the house, running out of breath.
"Auntie, sister, it's not good, my aunt slipped under the table and couldn't wake up!" Xiaojie yelled anxiously.
"What?" Sun's eyes widened in shock, and then she looked at Yang Ruoqing.
Could it be that because of the incident of returning the baggage roll earlier, Cui'er felt so embarrassed that she committed suicide?
Thinking of this, Sun couldn't help but tremble.
Yang Ruoqing was also confused, thinking to herself, since both of them had the shame to do such despicable things, how could they not have the shame to take responsibility for it?
Is it a short-sightedness, or is it another cruel trick?
It doesn’t matter which one it is, it’s annoying!
"Xiao Duo, we'll clean up the house later. You come and hold Xiao Shunzi first while I take a look!"
Yang Ruoqing ordered Xiaoduo, raised her legs and walked towards the door.
Sun, Xiaoduo and Xiaojie all followed. On the way to Sun's house, Yang Ruoqing learned about the relevant situation from Xiaojie.
Huang Mao was sleeping in the room next door, and he vaguely heard noises coming from the room next door.
As a mother, she was a light sleeper. She was worried that something had happened to Xiao Shunzi, so she woke up with a start and went to the next room.
At a glance, he saw Cui'er mother lying upright under the table, as if she was asleep, but she couldn't wake up no matter how hard she shook or shouted.
