Mrs. Liu chuckled and quickly moved her body to the stool and sat down obediently.
Mrs. Tan greeted Yang Huamei pleasantly: "Mei'er, come and sit here with me."
Yang Huamei smiled and came to Mrs. Tan's side. The two of them sat next to each other.
"Mom, eat it while it's hot. It'll be greasy when it's cold."
"No hurry, no rush."
"Why are you not in a hurry? Mom, please eat quickly, otherwise you will have to recruit that ghost child again at night." Mrs. Liu eagerly persuaded Mrs. Tan while stuffing steamed buns into her mouth.
Mrs. Tan ignored Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Tan only said to Yang Huamei: "Mom will eat it later. You made it especially for me. I will definitely not waste any of it."
Yang Huamei smiled with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go back then."
Mrs. Tan stood up and asked, "Do you have any meat or vegetables there?"
"Yes."
"Then you have to remember to finish eating. You can't keep it overnight, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Mom, I won't stay anymore."
Seeing the two mothers saying goodbye, Mrs. Liu stood up and said, "Why are you leaving so soon? Why don't we talk a little more?"
Mrs. Tan glared at Mrs. Liu, gritted her teeth and said, "You haven't heard enough, have you? Then you stay, and I will chat with you later!"
Ms. Liu muttered: "Just stop scolding me."
Yang Huamei smiled at Ms. Liu, "The baby was left in the care of his great-grandfather. I'm worried and have to go back."
"Ah? Is that so? Then you really have to go back. Let's go for a walk. Fourth sister-in-law will take you out!"
You can also ask Yang Huamei a few words on the way out. If you are lucky, you can send Yang Huamei to Lao Wang's house under the guise of an escort, and you can still eat some meat and vegetables!
As soon as Ms. Liu had this idea, Ms. Tan saw through it immediately.
"Come back here and you're not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Mom, don't be like this. I mean it well. I'll go see Mei'er off..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Do I know what you are thinking? Don't let out a word about the ghost child, otherwise I will be careful about your skin!"
Mrs. Liu curled her lips and ran back to the west room angrily.
Yang Huamei looked at Ms. Liu's running back, then looked at Ms. Tan, "Mom, you don't have to do that to your fourth sister-in-law. She's just a bit rude, and there's nothing else."
Tan shook his head, "Trouble comes from mouth, and it is often the most likely to cause trouble by talking nonsense!"
"Mom, how old is the third girl?" Yang Huamei suddenly asked again.
At the mention of the third girl, Tan's face instantly softened a bit.
There was a hint of guilt in the softness.
"Almost seven months."
"Huh? The month is so old? Then it seems that I can't go back to my parents' home to give New Year's gifts in the twelfth lunar month this year?"
"Well, I was very heavy at that time and it was inconvenient to move around. I had to wait until after the new year to give birth and then come back." Ms. Tan said.
When I think about it, the third girl sent a message more than two months ago. As long as her old man nodded, he would immediately come to pick her up and accompany her to raise the baby.
But things at home have been going on for a long time, one after another, and Ms. Tan is very busy. Sometimes when she sees a pregnant woman walking in the village, Ms. Tan will think of the third girl married to another county. Without even a capable female relative around her, the old lady felt uncomfortable...
"Fourth sister-in-law spends all day wandering around the house, why don't she go to Third Girl's place to serve her?" Yang Huamei was puzzled.
I don’t have a daughter. If I had a daughter, I would go and have a look.
In response, Mrs. Tan snorted coldly, "She is heartless. It has been a year since the third girl got married to Changle County, and she has not even visited her. Your fourth brother is the same person. This is too reassuring!"
"Hey!" Yang Huamei shook her head, she had never seen such a big-hearted parent.
"Mom, I'm going back first. Remember to eat. Eat it all and don't leave it behind."
"Okay, the same goes for you. By the way, have you hung up the Bagua mirror I asked your third sister-in-law to bring you?"
"It's done. Sister-in-law is helping me hang it on the window of my new house with her own hands."
"Just hang it up. I got the Bagua Mirror from Taoist Master Yuan. I've been keeping it in the east room. If I had taken it with me last night, maybe that kid wouldn't dare to come!"
"Mom, you gave me the Bagua Mirror, what are you going to do on your own?"
"Don't worry, I'm so fierce. Even cows, ghosts, and snakes are afraid of me!"
After Mrs. Tan sent Yang Huamei away, she returned to the east room. Then, she found Mrs. Liu at the window, crouching like a thief, and followed her out of the yard.
"This is a bad guy. He refuses to listen to advice. He insists on sneaking out when told not to go out. He is seeking death!"
Mrs. Tan put down the window and subconsciously wanted to chase Mrs. Liu back. The feet she had just raised froze in the air, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
A sinister smile flashed across her face. Mrs. Tan nodded with satisfaction, turned back to the table, opened the food box and began to enjoy the filial piety of her old daughter...
In the end, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back and sneaked into the village to find her "comrades" to gossip about the thieves in the village. As for whether she would expose the affairs of Lao Wang's family, it depends on her own determination.
When the villagers were panicking about the thief, in an underground palace deep in Mianniu Mountain, Yang Ruoqing, who Yang Huazhong and the others had placed their hope in, and who was regarded as their backbone, was currently wandering between life and death.
And Luo Fengtang, who was also regarded as a strong backer by Yang Huazhong and Luo Tiejiang, although his face was calm at the moment, he was on the verge of collapse inside.
He stood stiffly at the entrance of the cave, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the heavy granite door in front of him. The joints of his hands behind his back were pale and distinct. There were bruises, redness, and swelling in many places on the back of his hands, as well as broken skin and unfinished flesh. Dried blood stains.
Yu'er and Hong Xiu are not far away.
Yu'er was meditating cross-legged on a black lotus seat, wearing a black cloak from head to toe, and a palm-sized face hidden in the shadow of the cloak, cold and mysterious.
She batted her eyelashes lightly, held a small jar for cultivating voodoo in both hands, shook it gently, and muttered something.
In the incense burner in front of her, red smoke billowed. Especially in this gloomy ancient tomb, it seems even more mysterious and strange.
Hong Xiu stood between Yu'er and Luo Fengtang. Compared with Yu'er's mysterious ceremony, Hong Xiu seemed more down-to-earth.
She was holding a tray with two bowls on it.
One bowl contained light side dishes, and the other bowl contained two steamed buns.
Hongxiu timidly came to Luo Fengtang's side, looked up at him, and whispered: "Brother-in-law, general, it's meal time, you can eat more!"
Ever since Luo Fengtang suddenly found this place two days ago and discovered the 'secret' of Yang Ruoqing and Hong Xiu, he has not entered again.
For two days, he stood like this at the entrance of Yang Ruoqing's retreat, waiting for her to come out. During this period, he only drank water twice. Moreover, when he first arrived, he asked Yu'er about Yang Ruoqing's situation and learned about her current situation. After that, he stopped talking to anyone.
"Brother-in-law General, please eat something. If you continue like this, when Sister Qing'er comes out of seclusion, she will also be worried when she sees you like this..."
