Wang Hongquan was so angry that he trembled all over, pointing at Mrs. Tan, "You, you, you..."
Yang Ruoqing hurried over, took out a piece of handkerchief and covered Tan's mouth to release Yang Huazhong's hand.
"Dad, let's take my milk back first, and I'll leave it to you to deal with the aftermath here!"
"Auntie, go quickly!"
"Hey, let's go!"
Yang Huamei didn't care to explain to Wang Shuanzi anymore, and she and Yang Ruoqing worked together to take Tan out of the old Wang's yard half-stretched.
Sun, Bao Suyun and the others quickly followed behind.
Wang Shuanzi wanted to chase him, but Yang Huazhong stopped him.
"Shuanzi, I have made it clear what I need to say before. You and Mei'er are living separately for a while now. Mei'er asked her to calm down and give you time as a family to sort this out. How are we going to deal with the aftermath?”
"If you chase Mei'er back, she won't be able to live a restless life here. Then the bickering every now and then won't be like living a normal life."
Wang Hongtao analyzed the situation, agreed with Yang Huazhong's statement, and persuaded Wang Shuanzi to come down.
Yang Huazhong came to Wang Hongquan again and said, "My mother, I will make amends for you on her behalf. I will talk to her about it later. Don't take it personally."
Wang Hongquan ignored Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong didn't intend to stay here, so he turned around and left.
After Lao Yang's family left with Yang Huamei, the drama came to an end temporarily, and the crowd of spectators dispersed instantly.
If we don't disperse, some people will suffer from heatstroke. This is risking their lives while watching a show.
The spectators dispersed, and Wang Hongtao sent his mother-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law back, while he stayed to sit with Wang Hongquan, Wang Shuan, his son, and his son.
"Uncle, let's have a sip of tea."
Wang Shuanzi fumbled and made a bowl of tea for Wang Hongtao, and then poured a bowl of warm sugar water for Wang Hongquan.
"Dad, you don't look good. You didn't eat anything at noon. Drink some sugar water to replenish your energy."
Wang Hongquan took out the tobacco stick from his mouth, raised his head and looked at the filial son, considerate husband, well-behaved younger brother, and generous father sandwiched in front of him.
"My son, Shuanzi, it's hard for you to be sandwiched among so many of us!"
Wang Shuanzi was stunned for a moment and forced out a wry smile.
"Dad, I have many identities. I am your son, my sister's brother, Mei'er's husband, and Dabai and Xiaohei's father. I feel happy in my heart. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about such a person around me. There are so many people and such a lively family, I can wake up laughing even in my dreams."
He sighed softly and his eyes dimmed, "It would be great if you could both distinguish right from wrong, sit down and communicate, and talk the truth..."
When it comes to reasonable communication, Wang Hongtao nodded repeatedly.
"Brother, Shuanzi is right. Regarding this matter, I think we need to go find Chunhua and reason with her. It's not a problem to hide like this all the time!"
"Hong Tao, I don't want to find Chunhua, I'm just not convinced!"
"Brother, why are you not convinced?"
"I'm just not convinced, and I'm so worried!"
Before Yang Huazhong, Wang Hongquan had been doing the business in Changping Village for more than ten years. Wang Hongtao was still very patient when it came to communicating with people.
"Tell me and Shuanzi, can we masturbate together?" he asked again.
Wang Shuanzi also nodded repeatedly.
Wang Hongquan drank a few sips of sugar water and said: "Lao Yang's family wants Chunhua to come back and apologize because Chunhua rushed to the fifth room and scolded the fifth room and also accused Mei'er. Even though the fifth room Bao Suyun said some grand words, she didn't seem to follow her. We Chunhua cares about it, but Meier still insists that Chunhua come back to show her attitude."
"Then the old lady Tan came up earlier and pointed at my nose and cursed, saying that I was the one who killed Ms. Shuanzi. Why didn't they take Ms. Tan into custody to compensate me?"
"If I still want to care about it, I won't accept Lao San's substitute apology. I will also want Mr. Tan to apologize in person!"
Yang Ruoqing and her party took Tan and Yang Huamei back to their old home.
The doors and windows of the east room are open for ventilation. All the stools in the house were moved to the yard and put together in the sunshine, with the cushions from Tan's bed draped over them.
On the clothes drying pole next to it, Tan's bamboo mat had also been cleaned by Sun and hung there to dry.
If the bamboo mat has been slept on for a period of time without being scrubbed and aired, it will become soaked with sweat and easily become moldy and grow bugs.
But it cannot be left in the sun for a long time. Bamboo is brittle and easy to break, so Sun planned to come over after lunch and take it back to the house to cool it down. It would be ready for use when Tan came back in the evening.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tan came back early.
"You go inside first, and I'll collect the bamboo mats."
Mrs. Sun confessed and turned towards the clothes drying pole.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Bao Suyun followed, and she was responsible for carrying the mat into the house.
In the east room, Sun and Bao Suyun were busy making Tan's bed, while Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huamei were supporting Tan under the table.
There was no water on the table, and the door of the fourth room in the west room opposite was locked. It was obvious that the third girl was not at home.
"Milk, are you and my aunt thirsty? I'll go to the front yard and ask my third sister-in-law to bring you a pot of water?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Yang Huamei shook her head, "I'm not thirsty."
"I'm thirsty," Tan said.
"The one who was made thirsty by Lao Wang's family is really nothing!" Mr. Tan sat there with an angry look on his face.
"Mom, we're all back, so we won't talk about them anymore." Yang Huamei's face was tired and haggard.
Tan's thin lips pursed into a thin line and remained silent for the time being.
"I'd better go find Sister-in-law Three and bring her a pot of water." Yang Ruoqing turned around and walked out. She heard Mrs. Tan ask from behind again: "Why is there no one in the fourth room at noon? Where are Sister-in-law Three and Tiedan?"
"Mom, San Yatou and Tiedan have gone to town for two or three days." Mrs. Sun took the time to tell Mrs. Tan.
"Are you going to help Mrs. Liu sell vegetables again?" Mrs. Tan asked angrily.
Mrs. Sun smoothed out the cushions, turned around and smiled at the table: "That's right. It's half July in a few days. There are so many people going to the market these days, the fourth brother and sister are too busy, and the third girl Go over and lend a hand."
"Third girl is really a diligent girl." Bao Suyun sighed softly.
Mrs. Tan snorted, "What's the use of being diligent? Just like our Mei'er, if you're married and you're diligent, you're destined to serve others. If you work as a cow for your husband's family, no one will even say a word of kindness to you."
"Nai, the Liu family has no in-laws or brothers. When the third girl gets married, she will be the master of the family. When she gets married, she will buy two servants to serve her. Life will be easy." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Tan exhaled, "I'm not worried about Third Girl. That guy Liu Xueyun can protect her, and the Fourth and his wife are not cheap. No one in the Liu family dares to bully Third Girl.
What I feel most distressed about is my old daughter. She has not experienced any hardship in her parents’ family for more than ten years. She has been working as a cow or horse in her husband’s family, and all her life’s blessings have been enjoyed in her parents’ family. Poor daughter..."
