"After all, I am not Tiedan's biological mother, and I will not be a real mother-in-law in front of my daughter-in-law in the future. If anything happens, I will have to say that I live in their house."
"So I have to build a new house as soon as possible in the name of me, He'er, Kang Xiaozi and the others."
"The new house must have He'er, Kang Xiaozi's house, and Ju'er and San Yatou's house where they go back to their parents' home."
"The new house is our house, not a house built specifically for his Tiedan to get married. If Tiedan is successful, then the couple and their children can go out and start their own families."
"Qing'er, I said this, can you understand what I mean?"
Ms. Liu's mouth was so dry as she spoke that she didn't even drink a sip of tea from beginning to end.
But she couldn't care less, she just wanted to say all the things she had been holding in her stomach.
Yang Ruoqing looked at Mrs. Liu and nodded slightly.
"I understand, of course I understand. Even if Fourth Aunt, you regard Tiedan as your own son, your situation is different, so you are worried that you will end up separated by one layer in the future, so make plans in advance."
"Qing'er, it's good that you understand. I think there's nothing wrong with that. People will be punished if they don't do it for themselves!" Mrs. Liu licked her dry lips and said again.
Yang Ruoqing pointed to the teapot and teacup on the table, "Drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Mrs. Liu smiled gratefully and hurriedly poured herself a bowl of tea.
After a few sips, my lips and throat felt comfortable, and I could talk for another three days and three nights.
"On this trip, we not only had a long-term sawdust business with them, but we also took on the task of making cages for little rabbits, hamsters, and birds."
"Although they are all small businesses, they don't require capital. In our mountains, we have as much bamboo and wood as we need, as long as people are diligent!"
"Also, since I was the one who found the business, the price of the sale will be divided between me and your fourth uncle, six for me and four for him!"
Mrs. Liu stretched out a hand to gesture, and finally a trace of pride appeared on her face.
Yang Ruoqing just sighed softly, "Then let's talk about Xiaojuan's affairs. My fourth uncle really went to find her?"
Speaking of Xiaojuan, Liu's pride was greatly reduced.
"Of course he went to find Xiaojuan, but he greeted me in advance."
"What did my fourth uncle say when you said hello?"
"What else can he say? He just said that he heard that Xiaojuan was working in a restaurant on the county dock and wanted to go and have a look."
Mrs. Liu turned away, her face wrinkled into a big bitter melon, and her nails subconsciously dug at the armrests of the chair.
"I asked him why he wanted to go see her, and he said that Xiaojuan left in a hurry and there were some things he wanted to ask in person."
"Even for Tiedan's sake, he still wants to tell her face to face again so that he can put an end to it."
Make a break?
Yang Ruoqing was almost amused by her fourth uncle's remarks.
A long time ago, she revealed Xiaojuan's whereabouts to Yang Huaming. For a long time, Yang Huaming did not go to the county to look for Xiaojuan.
Now it seems that the fourth uncle must not have completely let go, so he still couldn't help but go.
As for ending it?
Did you really go there with the intention of ending your relationship? Or did you go there with some other lucky hope?
I'm afraid only Fourth Uncle himself knows this.
"Qing'er, do you believe he died? Huh, I don't believe it anyway!" Mrs. Liu curled her lips and hummed.
Another hand was picking at the back of the chair.
Yang Ruoqing was helpless, "Fourth Aunt, that chair is innocent, can you stop picking it?"
Moreover, it is made of yellow pear wood, which is very expensive.
Mrs. Liu quickly stopped her hand and smiled sheepishly.
Yang Ruoqing added: "Fourth Aunt, let's not talk about my Fourth Uncle for now. Let me tell you a story."
"Telling stories? I like it, but I just happen to feel unhappy. Which village is the story from?" Ms. Liu asked again.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, "Well... I really didn't ask."
Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "That's okay, just talk about it!"
Yang Ruoqing then told her the story of how Dayu controlled floods, and it was better to remove them than to block them.
Finally, she patiently explained to Ms. Liu: "The same is true for water control, and the same is true for the relationship between us. Like Fourth Uncle, when Xiaojuan left in such a hurry, he had a lot of questions in his heart."
"I haven't looked for him in the past few years. Firstly, I didn't know where the person was, and secondly, I was stuck in anger."
"This anger is accumulated in my heart, and it won't be good for a long time, so we have to find a way to let him vent it and unblock it. When the anger is gone, the fourth uncle will naturally and truly figure it out, and he can live a better life in the future. You have to feel at ease.”
There are two things in this world that are unforgettable.
Lost, and not gained.
For Yang Huaming, Xiaojuan is the lost part.
He went to find her now to find out, not because he was so indispensable to her, but because he needed someone to make it clear.
Only when he sees her with his own eyes and asks her questions clearly, maybe the complicated feelings of longing and resentment in the past few years will disappear in an instant.
That is a kind of resentment. In metaphysics, for souls with resentment, if the resentment does not go away, there is no way to escape and lead to eternal life.
The moment the resentment dissipates, everything returns to zero.
"Qing'er, I know a little about what you said." Mrs. Liu bared her teeth, feeling very annoyed, "But I'm worried that that vixen won't be able to hang out outside, and then he wants to get close to your fourth uncle. How to fix it?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm really fed up with the big wife and the little wife living in the same courtyard across from each other. It's so annoying!"
"Fourth Aunt, my thoughts are different from yours." Yang Ruoqing said.
"What? If it were you and me, would you still be willing to let him see his old sweetheart? Aren't you threatening yourself?" Ms. Liu shook her head repeatedly, looking at Yang Ruoqing as if she were looking at a fool.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, "This is called a test."
"We don't care, let him go and deal with it on his own. If he doesn't pass the test, then fine, I'll leave. I won't waste time on this man again in my life."
"If he has withstood the test, he will be the prodigal and he will be the one who laughs last. Whoever laughs last will be the winner."
Mrs. Liu held the tea bowl in both hands, tilted her head and was stunned as she listened, forgetting to close her mouth.
"Qing'er, you said the same thing, isn't that great?" Mrs. Liu murmured after a long while.
"From your analysis, this turns out to be a good thing?"
"Hey, I wasted my anger and came back early. I was so angry. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I planned to get off the car and see my family members to trick the bad guys and file a complaint first..."
Halfway through what she said, Ms. Liu quickly covered her mouth and rolled her eyes.
Yang Ruoqing was still laughing just now, but when she heard these words, her face suddenly darkened.
Pointing at Mrs. Liu, "Okay, Fourth Aunt, you are cruel enough. You didn't ask the evildoer to file a complaint first, but you used my grandma as a weapon in a cruel trick!"
Tan Lei was furious and thought of Lao Yangtou and Yun Yao from the fact that Yang Huaming went to find Xiaojuan.
So when Yang Huaming comes back from the county town, Tan will definitely make trouble for him.
