Yang Ruoqing laughed immediately and said to Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, no joke, you are really brave and resourceful this time, I am impressed."
"Hey, I've always been resourceful, but, just... Hey, how do you say that sentence?" Mrs. Liu tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she kept getting stuck.
Yang Ruoqing reminded: "Is it true that you are too wise and foolish?"
Mrs. Liu patted her thigh, "Yes, I just wanted to say this, but when it came to my mouth, I suddenly forgot it."
"I am the wise one, but I just pretend to be stupid most of the time."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head, "I just praised you a few times and you're already in a state of disbelief. Now, let's get back to business and talk about what you gained from Zhang's mother's side."
Mrs. Liu sat upright and began to talk about her great cause of "Xu Xu Tu Zhi" from the beginning, starting from going in to help Zhang's mother take over, and finally sharing the snacks she brought.
"...I have never had much contact with Youfu Niang before. She was paralyzed very early. After sitting with her for a while now, I realized that she is really a good person."
"She has a gentle temperament, a bit like your mother, and she is tolerant of others. No wonder Zhang Youfu was taught so well by her. He is hardworking and hardworking, and he is not sneaky."
"When she talked about Zhang Youfu's marriage, she wiped her eyes and said that she had caused trouble for her son. He was still single in his mid-thirties. When the girl peeked at their home, the paralyzed old woman turned around and was about to run away. She said that she wanted to die several times, but Zhang Youfu stopped her every time."
"Hey, these are really a miserable mother and son."
As Liu spoke, his eye circles turned red.
Although Yang Ruoqing was a little moved when she heard this, she was more concerned about the progress Liu had found out about Liao Meiying and Zhang Youfu.
"Fourth Aunt, you should talk about Zhang Youfu and my sister-in-law. Have you found any clues?"
Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she had been talking for a long time and still hadn't gotten to the main topic, so she quickly sat up straight and continued to talk about the next thing.
"...I heard her say 'them' one by one, and prepared water for washing her face, water for drinking tea, and other arrangements for eating, drinking and having sex. I followed this clue to inquire, and sure enough, This 'they' really has Mei Ying!"
"But it's not just us Mei Ying, there's also your aunt."
"Ah? My aunt?"
"Yes, except for the time when I bumped into her, Meiying went to Zhang's tent by herself. At other times, she dragged your aunt along with her."
"Perhaps it's to deceive others and avoid embarrassment. Anyway, I heard from Zhang's mother that your aunt is a frequent visitor. Not only does she go there by herself, she sometimes takes Zhen'er and Yang Yongqing's daughter with her."
"Mother Zhang always thought that Mei Ying and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were mainly related to the old Yang family in the past. She knew that the old Yang family and the Luo family were organizing everyone's flood fighting and rescue operations, so the women of the old Yang family were taking care of the logistics. In addition, Zhang Youfu is busy outside every day, so Zhang's mother probably didn't think about that, especially when she saw me today and went to visit her. She held my hand and kept talking about how good our Lao Yang family is. Good for adults, good for children, good for men and women!”
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a while and said: "Mother Zhang actually doesn't know. All this has nothing to do with our old Yang family. It's just that my sister-in-law and Zhang Youfu have some interest in each other, and then neither of them has anything to do with each other." When they found out, they each looked for their own mothers and mother-in-law to take cover."
Mrs. Liu sighed, "Yes, it's just a cover-up. Anyway, I can see it this time. Your sister-in-law Mei Ying's thoughts must have changed. Your aunt may know it, but she still plans to help her daughter-in-law. Make your wife happy."
"This time, the person who surprised me the most is your aunt."
Yang Ruoqing's mood was actually similar to Liu's, and the performance of aunt Jin's in this situation was really shocking.
Yang Yongxian was her biological son. Even though his son and his wife had already divorced, he could help his daughter-in-law find a new home and find true happiness. There were only a handful of mothers-in-law in the world who could do what Aunt Jin did.
It seems that the truly wise and foolish person is not the Liu family, but the Jin family.
"Qing'er, when I was chatting with Zhang's mother today, I also revealed a little about our Mei Ying's situation intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang's mother is a smart person, she will definitely understand what I mean.
If she had that intention, I think she would definitely mention it to Zhang Youfu in private. For this kind of thing, a man should be the one to break the window paper, don't you think? "
Yang Ruoqing said: "That's the truth. However, I still suggest that Fourth Aunt stop ordering and let them do the rest by themselves."
Mrs. Liu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't say another word, especially to Mei Ying."
…
The water in the village has almost been drained, and the ground and walls that had been flooded for a long time finally saw the light of day again.
Everyone originally thought that when the flood subsided, they would be able to seize the time to repair the house, and then move back home happily.
Unexpectedly, the water receding was only the first step.
There is something more difficult next!
The clothes, shoes, socks, furniture and objects that were floating on the water or sunk at the bottom of the water before have all remained because the water has receded.
The ground is covered with thick mud. Those things are wrapped in the mud, as well as some dead rats, dead fish and shrimps. The dirt in the latrines has also been washed out and stuck to these things. The mud on the ground They are black, and emit bursts of stench under the blast of the sun. Big green-headed flies fly around these stinky things, grabbing a lot of them, and mosquitoes are also buzzing. This environment is dirty and smelly. It's so hot, and there are bacteria floating in the air, which makes people suffocate.
It was like that on the road outside, and it was like that in the villagers' homes. Everyone complained, but they had to bite the bullet and deal with it.
At this time, Yang Huazhong stood up again and called out personnel from every household. Every household had to send someone. If no one was needed, they would pay for it. Several teams were assembled to clean up the mud and dirt on every road in the village. .
Truckloads of dirty stuff were transported into the mountains and then thrown at the bottom of the cliff.
After this busyness continued for several days, the environment in the village finally got better, at least the road surface was completely cleared.
At this time, Yang Ruoqing took out the disinfectant powder she had prepared in advance and exchanged it for water.
Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang led people pushing carts around the village, carrying out carpet-style watering and disinfection, and went into every house, sparing no corner.
So for several days, the smell of disinfectant filled the whole village.
Yang Huaming's injuries are almost healed. He, Yang Yongzhi, Yang Yongqing and others are busy cleaning up the old Yang family's house every day, but their food and accommodation are still at the entrance of the village.
