The other guests also dispersed one after another. Yang Huazhou was satisfied and took Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming to sit in the yard to bask in the sun, smoke cigarettes, and chat.
Yang Yongjin, Yang Yongzhi, Yang Yongqing and the others gathered Dabao at a table and played leaf cards there, while young wives such as Zhao Liuer and Jiang Guiling gathered around to watch.
The men were shouting and drinking, the women were chirping, and the yard was very lively.
After a while, Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun also finished cleaning up the kitchen and came over. Under the warm winter sun, except for a few people in the huge old Yang family, everyone else who was supposed to come was here. It was lively and warm.
After playing cards for a while, Yang Yongjin gave up his position to others and retreated to Yang Huazhong's side.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, I want to ask you something to offend the scenery." He squatted aside, holding tea in his hand, and said suddenly.
"About what aspect of the bad scenery?" Yang Huaming asked eagerly.
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou also looked at Yang Yongjin with questioning eyes, a little puzzled.
Mr. Jin is a smart man, so he shouldn't deliberately say unpleasant things in such a good atmosphere.
"About...about my father." When Yang Yongjin said this, his voice became obviously weaker.
Yang Huaming rubbed his head: "Hey, that's really a disgraceful sight!"
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou looked at each other and frowned slightly.
Yang Huazhou said directly: "For the full-moon banquet, I was also thinking about whether Guo should go to Baie Town to invite your father back for a banquet. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it."
Yang Huazhong nodded, "Your father has not contacted his family for almost half a year, and your eldest brother has never sent a letter home. As long as your father has the slightest repentance, it will not be like this."
"So I advise you, Fifth Uncle, to forget it and stop calling you. Calling you back will be a disgrace!"
"Not only does it disgrace the scenery, but it's also off-putting." Yang Huaming's hand rubbing his head changed to rubbing his stomach.
"When I see the old man, I will think of all the disgusting things he did when he made pots, and I will lose my appetite after the banquet."
Yang Yongjin squatted aside and watched the three uncles talking to each other, and their words were all condemning the old man. Yang Yongjin's smile became more and more bitter.
Yang Huazhong was still rough and subtle. He leaned over and stared at Yang Yongjin: "Jin boy, is there something you want to tell us? Then tell me!"
Yang Yongjin still smiled bitterly, with a tangled expression.
Yang Huaming couldn't wait any longer. He patted Yang Yongjin on the shoulder and said, "If you're a man, please be more relaxed. You act like you're constipated and it makes my fourth uncle anxious."
Yang Yongjin blushed, but still smiled, "Well, I do have something to tell some uncles. Now that I'm done, don't be upset, everyone, because I've heard what others said recently, so I don't know whether it's true or not."
"It's so mysterious, tell me quickly, I'm going to scratch my head." Yang Huaming urged again.
The movement here also alarmed other people nearby. Everyone looked here, and even a few people playing cards stopped what they were doing and turned to look over.
Yang Yongjin tried his best to make his expression look normal, carefully considered his words, and tried his best not to scare everyone with the news he would bring to everyone next.
"Well, two days before returning to the village, a regular customer came to the restaurant for dinner and chatted with me for a few words. He mentioned that he recently went to Baie Town, Huguang County and met my elder brother. When my father arrived..."
"Is your regular customer doing business?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Yongjin nodded, "He sells jewelry in the county town and goes to Huguang County to collect pearls. My eldest brother has done business with him twice."
Yang Huazhong nodded, thought for a while and then said: "It's nothing. Yongxian raises pearls and does business with others. There's nothing that can't be said. As for meeting your father, it's not uncommon. Your father has always been with Yongxian. Xian is Rong, Yongxian talks about business, it is normal for him to follow Yongxian to entertain guests..."
"Uncle Third, I understand what you said. The problem is..." Yang Yongjin once again fell into the state of 'constipation' that Yang Huaming said.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, there is a woman beside my father."
"What?"
"ah?"
"Oh my God!"
Everyone had different reactions. Yang Yongqing fell off the stool and fell to the ground without even getting up.
"Second brother, are you serious? My father has found a second grandma for us?" Yang Yongqing spoke awkwardly and rolled his tongue together.
Yang Ruoqing was also present, and her reaction after hearing this was not much better.
"If it's true, it's too scary." She said.
Yang Huaming finally came to his senses, and he laughed angrily, "Hahaha, this old shameless guy is seventy-four or five years old, and there is an old lady at home, and he went out to pick up women? Is he really Do you think you are immortal?"
Yang Huazhong's face was livid, and he only said two words over and over again: "Nonsense!"
Four more words: “It’s just nonsense!”
Yang Huazhou was dumbfounded and murmured: "No wonder Jin Zizi said it was a disgrace to the scenery. This really is a disgrace to the scenery!"
At this time, Yang Ruoqing regained her sense and asked Yang Yongjin: "What kind of woman is she? How old is she? Is it her cousin who invited us back to serve our father, or is it some other special relationship? Let's not let others say something about her." We came to a conclusion in advance, maybe...it's not as bad as we thought?"
Yang Yongqing yelled: "Qing'er, why are you still talking to me? If that woman didn't have a special relationship with him, the second brother's regular customer wouldn't be able to gossip!"
"Let me tell you, that shameless old man probably flirted with that girl in front of others, for fear that the people around him wouldn't be able to tell that they were concubines. It really burned my eyes, it was so scary!"
Although Yang Yongqing's words are extremely rough, there is truth in them.
Maybe he knew that the other party was from Wanghai County and deliberately spread the news to Changping Village through this channel. Was he trying to test the attitude of Changping Village? Or is it the provocation of Ciguoguo?
"Second brother, do you have more details?" Yang Ruoqing turned around and asked again.
Yang Yongjin frowned and his face turned red.
"Yes, there is, but I'm embarrassed to say it. One thing is for sure, the two of them...are definitely beyond the normal relationship between a man and a woman."
"Also, that woman is not too young. I heard she is in her forties and is a widow..."
Yang Huaming interrupted Yang Yongjin impatiently: "Jin boy, just tell me everything you know. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This old man has done a lot of extraordinary things without shame, let alone making him a widow. We can accept it even if it’s a yellow-flowered girl! I just want to hear more details."
Others nodded.
Indeed, Old Yangtou did one ridiculous thing after another, and each one was more absurd than the last. He even did things like steal Tan's money and use it to please Xiangzi's mother, but now he went to Baie Town. The sky is high over there and the emperor is far away. How about having a woman by your side?
