The old house of Lao Yang's family.
Almost all the relevant key personnel of Lao Yang's family gathered in the east room in the backyard.
The weather was sultry and hot, and the number of people that could be accommodated in the house was limited, so Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhao Liuer and Mrs. Jin all stood in the courtyard.
There were noisy voices in the east room, and they were also talking in the courtyard. Dusk enveloped the courtyard, and in this courtyard with almost no cool breeze, there were waves of depression and boredom.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing and Sun rushing over, followed by Luo Fengtang, Liu quickly ran over.
"Qing'er Qing'er, that Li Xiu's heart is agitated and she's really going to give birth!" Mrs. Liu said.
"I heard about it." Yang Ruoqing pushed past Mrs. Liu who was blocking the way, and went straight into the east room with Mrs. Sun, while Luo Fengtang stood in the yard.
In the east room, when Yang Ruoqing came in, she found that apart from Lao Yangtou and Tan, there were Yang Huaming, Yang Yongzhi, Bao Suyun, and Cao Bamei. Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongxian were the only ones missing.
"Master, grandma, I'm here." Yang Ruoqing said.
"What's the situation now? Where are my father and cousin?" she asked again.
Old Yang looked panicked and hurriedly asked Yang Ruoqing and Sun: "What should we do? Someone came from the Li family just a few minutes ago. They said that Li Xiu's heart was agitated and she was going to have fetal gas. The situation was not appropriate. The Li family Even the mother and daughter are in a panic, asking our old Yang family to hurry up and take charge of the matter."
"Your father accompanied Yongxian and rushed over first. I'm calling you to come here. Qing'er, you, your mother and your fifth aunt, you are women and you have to go there. Your aunt is the mother-in-law, but She is deaf, mute and a useless person, so she can’t be of much help..."
It could be felt that Lao Yangtou was in a panic at the moment, and his speech was somewhat incoherent.
On the side, Mrs. Tan said angrily: "This Li Xiuxin is really a plague god. What day do you think is not good for having a baby? You want to choose July."
"It's okay to have a baby a month or two early, but I have to choose this one. Today is the Ghost Festival on July 15th, a day when ghosts are open. It's really unlucky to have a baby today..."
"Okay, stop nagging and keep talking nonsense!" Old Yang shouted angrily at Mr. Tan.
"No matter when the child is born, he is the eldest great-grandson of our old Yang family. Even if he is a concubine, the meaning is different. He is our Yongxian's first child!" Old Yang said seriously, Loud voice.
Obviously, this was not only meant for Mr. Tan, but also for all the Yang family members inside and outside the house.
"Right now, we have to work together to ensure that Li Xiuxin and her son are safe. Don't say anything else!"
After saying that, Old Yang turned around and looked at Yang Ruoqing and Sun with a sincere face: "Qing'er, please go to Lijiacun quickly. Your father and your eldest brother are men after all. It's not convenient to come forward for these things. , you still have to go."
To be honest, Yang Ruoqing really didn't want to go to Lijiacun, but this happened suddenly, so she had to go even if she didn't.
"We went there to make Li Xiuxin and her daughter feel at ease, but we are not doctors and we are not a stable mother. If it is really difficult to give birth, we can't help. I have to make this clear to you, otherwise I won't Go, I can’t take any responsibility!”
Yang Ruoqing also raised the decibel level to talk to Lao Yang, not only to him, but also to Tan and the other Lao Yang family members inside and outside the house.
Old Yangtou said: "I know, of course I know. There are doctors and stable women in the Li family. As a man, we will take care of you based on emotion and reason!"
Now that the words have come to this point, Yang Ruoqing can no longer refuse.
What's more, she declined herself, and my mother, Mrs. Sun, couldn't refuse, so she might as well go there herself!
"Father, mother, I have given birth to many children, I have experience, I will go and I will go too!"
Here, Mrs. Sun, Bao Suyun and Yang Ruoqing were about to go out, Mrs. Liu chased them and said.
Old Yangtou said: "Don't make trouble."
Mrs. Liu said: "Dad, this Li Xiuxin has a difficult delivery. When I gave birth to our third girl, wasn't it because I was hit by my eldest brother and the fetal air was released in advance?"
"When I gave birth to the third girl, I had a narrow escape from death. I have experience, let me go, let me go!"
Old Yangtou still didn't want to let go, but Mrs. Tan opened her mouth.
"Let the fourth daughter-in-law go. Maybe her useless talent can really come in handy," said Tan.
Mrs. Liu curled her lips and said, "Mom, what you said should be that there are multiple people and multiple ideas!"
Several women went out together. Yang Ruoqing was not afraid at all, but Luo Fengtang followed her, "I'll take you there."
Yang Ruoqing was about to say 'no', but Mrs. Liu said first: "Okay, okay, Tang Yazi is here to send you, so you don't have to be afraid at all. Tonight is the Ghost Festival in July and a half, a day when the gates of ghosts are wide open..."
"Shut up, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" Yang Huaming yelled at Ms. Liu.
Mrs. Liu shrank her shoulders, "I'm not talking nonsense, tonight is really different, the yin energy is strong!"
"Stop talking!" Lao Yangtou waved his hand, "The fourth child will go with me to see him off. The wise boy will stay at home, and the male must be at home."
A group of people set out overnight to go to Lijia Village along the river dam behind the village.
The river is at the foot of the mountain. To the left of the river dam are villages and fields, and to the right of the river dam are mountains.
Tonight, there is moonlight, shining on the ground as bright as day.
"Sister-in-law Fourth, don't be afraid. The moonlight is bright tonight. There are so many of us walking together, and Tang Yazi and Qing'er are here, so it's very lively."
Bao Suyun whispered to comfort Mrs. Liu beside her as she walked.
Mrs. Liu kept holding on to Bao Suyun's arm, almost resting her head on Bao Suyun's shoulder and not daring to lift it up. This made it difficult for Bao Suyun to walk.
After hearing Bao Suyun's words, Ms. Liu raised her head and glanced towards the forest on the right, then closed her eyes again and lay down on Bao Suyun's shoulder.
"That part of the mountain forest is dark and seeping. Let me hold you. Fifth brother and sister, please do your best." Ms. Liu said pitifully.
Bao Suyun looked helpless.
Behind him, Yang Huaming was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked Liu's butt directly.
Mrs. Liu stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
She was so frightened that she quickly got up from the ground and was about to get mad at Yang Huaming. Yang Huaming pointed at her nose and shouted: "I told you not to come and cause trouble. You motherfucker has to come here to make trouble. There are so many people and you are so scared that you can't even walk." Let’s go, get this embarrassing thing back!”
Yang Huaming raised his hand to fight again, but Sun and Bao Suyun came up simultaneously to stop him.
And Lao Yangtou also yelled: "Stop fighting and scolding, we are rushing to Li's house. If you, fourth daughter-in-law, really don't succeed, I will ask fourth son to take you back!"
Mrs. Liu looked at this situation and realized that she was about to arrive at Lijiacun. If she and Yang Huaming went back, they would be even more afraid.
Mrs. Liu quickly shook her head: "I won't go back."
"If you don't want to go back, then keep going. When we get to Li's house later, don't make noises and cause trouble!" Old Yangtou warned.
Mr. Liu nodded repeatedly.
Then his left and right hands came out together, holding Sun and Bao Suyun's arms, and he walked with his waist in the middle.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang walked at the front to clear the way, seeing all this in their eyes. They looked at each other, both speechless.
Traveling at night is a common occurrence for the couple.
People who came here during the bloody storm are really numb to walking at night.
