Because the incense made from mugwort and calamus is burned in all four corners of the house, it can repel mosquitoes and purify the air, making everyone staying in the house feel refreshed.
It makes you sleep peacefully when you fall asleep and makes you feel refreshed when you wake up.
No, Yang Ruoqing was lying lazily on the couch, twirling a cool fruit in her hand and eating it in small bites, looking towards the night outside the window.
Outside the window, night falls.
If the time is converted to modern Chinese timekeeping, it should be around half past seven.
At this point in time, everyone should have just finished work.
After returning from work, the men would take a big bath first, and then eat. After the meal, the men would sit for a while, or play with the children for a while. The women would take this opportunity to clean the dishes in the kitchen.
Then, the couple took their children to Yang Huazhong's house at the entrance of the village to hold a family meeting.
"Crack." Yang Ruoqing stuffed the remaining fruit into her mouth in one gulp, guessing that in half an hour, her parents' house next door would start to get busy.
Regarding the family meeting at her parents' house next door at night, Yang Ruoqing felt that the outcome was almost without suspense.
However, due to the participation of Lao Yangtou and Tan, there will definitely be some unharmonious conversations.
With the support of most people, this can definitely be done. But the sister-in-law also needs to show some courage. There are always times in a person’s life when her blood boils with excitement and times when she is desperate for her own safety, right?
Some things should stop after they have helped to a certain extent, and let the person involved walk the rest of the way.
A gust of night wind blew by, bringing the fragrance of the epiphyllum clusters in the yard into the house.
Yang Ruoqing felt as if she felt comfortable all over. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers, all the bones in her body seemed to soften.
I slept so deeply this time. I woke up once in the middle of the night and got up to relieve myself.
After finishing the solution, I glanced at the hourglass on the table next to me. I guessed it was almost midnight.
It's so late, the family meeting next door should have ended, right?
No one came to her for 'emergency public relations' all night. It seemed that the family meeting was going smoothly.
Ignore those things for now and go to sleep. Sleeping is a continuous thing. If it is interrupted in the middle, it will be very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
No matter what the situation is, someone will definitely come and tell her when she wakes up tomorrow.
The next morning, Yang Ruoqing slept comfortably and got up refreshed.
After washing up and having breakfast, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu came over together.
When Yang Ruoqing saw Sun's face, she guessed that there must have been some disturbance last night.
Look at Mrs. Liu's face again: Although there were twists and turns last night, things should be settled in the end.
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Liu saw Yang Ruoqing, she clapped her hands hard and said excitedly: "Qing'er, our old Yang family is having a double happiness now. Not only is Mianmian engaged, but Meiying is also remarrying. There will be several banquets later, it’s really great!”
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing's heart dropped.
"Mom, fourth aunt, please sit down."
Yang Ruoqing pulled out two stools and prepared to make tea to greet them.
Before Liu Shi'er even touched the stool, she started to speak loudly: "Qing'er, you don't know how your father and your fourth uncle roared last night when they banged the table and glared!"
"Even if Mei Ying promised not to let Zhen'er change her name, your father would not agree to it. If Mei Ying really wanted to remarry, he would leave Zhen'er in the old Yang family and not take her to the old Zhang family. His bones and blood actually asked the old Zhang family to help raise him, and he was humiliated and sent to his grandma's house."
Although Yang Ruoqing was not present, she could imagine the scene Liu described.
"Did I yell until the end? Did I compromise?" she asked.
Liu said: "He won't compromise. He can't compromise even if the knife is placed on his neck."
"Zhang Youfu actually came later!"
"What? Brother Youfu actually went?"
Yang Ruoqing really didn't expect that Zhang Youfu would have the courage to go to Lao Yang's house and ask for this in person.
"Then what did Brother Youfu say?" Yang Ruoqing was a little curious.
When asked about Zhang Youfu's "lines", Ms. Liu immediately became excited. This was also the reason why she had to come with Mr. Sun today.
"Qing'er, this Zhang Youfu is really a pure man!"
"If I were Mei Ying, I would definitely want to marry such a responsible man!"
"Last night he came to the house in person and proposed to your father, your father and your uncles in person. He promised to be kind to Mei Ying and Zhen'er. He would regard the child as his own regardless of whether the child changes his or her surname..."
"Ouch, I said so many words that I can't even remember them all. Anyway, they were all about being responsible and responsible. Your fourth uncle immediately made the decision, but your father still refused and scolded Zhang Youfu and Mei Ying. He also said that they would be soaked in a pig cage..."
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "My words are a bit scary."
She has been in Changping Village for more than ten years, almost twenty years. Every day she hears that someone is going to be soaked in the pig cage, but what is the result?
A certain man in the village was caught sleeping with a certain wife in a cotton field. They were beaten to death and nothing happened. The river behind the village was slowly flowing, and no one was actually thrown in. Pass.
"Later, your father got really angry and invited your aunt out. Your aunt is now the head of the family. Whether Zhen'er will be brought to Mei Ying or not, we all need your aunt to give the final word."
"Your aunt held Mei Ying's hand and cried. Finally, she nodded and agreed to let Zhen'er go. This made your father even more angry. He threatened to invite the village elders to come over and divorce your aunt. Get out of Lao Yang’s house!”
"As soon as your father said this, your three cousins all jumped out and kicked out their mother? They won't agree."
"Under such chaos, your father was so angry that he couldn't lift his legs even if he wanted to stamp his feet. In the end, Yu Xingkui was smart and quickly pushed your father back to the guest room."
Yang Ruoqing placed the brewed tea in front of Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu, while she mixed a bowl of sophora flower honey water.
"That's how it happened?" she asked next.
"It's done. It's agreed that in two days, we will pick a date for the Zhang family to go to Mei Ying's natal family to propose marriage. Mei Ying is still living in our old Yang family and has to be busy with the porridge shed."
"As soon as the porridge shed matter is over, Mei Ying will take Zhen'er to move back to her parents' home in Liaojia Village."
"I'll live here until I get married. The wedding day shouldn't be too far away. After all, it's not the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair. She has a baby with her!"
Yang Ruoqing secretly calculated the days until the porridge shed could be opened in her heart. It would take a few months at most.
Because the second crop of rice will be almost ripe in a few months, it will be time for the sister-in-law to move back to her parents' home by then. It is not convenient to marry directly from Lao Yang's family.
"Fourth Aunt, now that this has been done, why are you smiling, while my mother has always had a bitter look on her face since she walked in?" Yang Ruoqing took a sip of honey water, looked at Sun's expression, and teased with a smile. Finished sentence.
