Changping Village.
The farce ended temporarily with Mrs. Huasheng's escape.
Yang Huazhong dismissed the villagers who came to watch the excitement, and took two iron locks to lock the main room and the courtyard door of Yang Huasheng's family.
The purpose of this is to prevent other people in the village from taking advantage of the troubled waters and sneaking in to destroy and rob Yang Huasheng's family when no one is around.
Although Huang doesn't like those old furniture, there is no guarantee that others will be attracted to them.
You must know that some people can fight for a piece of grass on the ground or a pile of cow dung on the wall until their faces turn red.
Therefore, as an act of integrity, Yang Huazhong directly locked the door to avoid future troubles.
Yang Huamao failed to catch up with Mrs. Huasheng and came back cursing.
He and Mrs. Huang returned to their home together. Mrs. Huang held the remaining five taels of silver and another seven hundred Wen in her purse and kept saying harsh words: "...that thief bitch, if you can, don't come back to celebrate the New Year. From now on... Come on, this three hundred penny has been compounded, please prove it!"
On the other hand, Mrs. Liu also held Yang Ruoqing's arm and walked back contentedly.
"Qing'er, where do you think Mrs. Huasheng is hiding?" On the way, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but discuss with Yang Ruoqing the whereabouts of Mrs. Huasheng.
Before Yang Ruoqing had time to express her opinion, Mrs. Liu went on to herself: "I doubt that Mrs. Huasheng has not returned to her natal family. Her natal family has severed ties with her. This time she stole things by herself, which is even more embarrassing. My mother-in-law’s family definitely doesn’t dare to go back, and they won’t be able to take her in if she does, so she should have this advantage.”
"Then where does Fourth Aunt think she is most likely to go?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Ms. Liu said: "I think the most likely thing for her is to go to the county town to join her son!"
"That's it..." Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "It's also possible..."
"Oh, it's not possible, it's very, very possible." Ms. Liu said in a more serious tone.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Actually, there is another possibility."
"Ah? There's another one? Tell me!" Ms. Liu urged.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Ms. Huasheng should want to go to her son, but she may not be on the way right now."
"Why?"
"Why? Ha, she is a woman who can fly? From the time she ran away until my fifth uncle and uncle Huamao chased her out to look for her, it only took a bowl of tea to survive. How could she disappear without a trace? Where is your son?"
"Hey, that seems to be the case? Even if she has long legs, she can't walk so fast!" Mrs. Liu scratched her neck and said.
"Then if she is not on the road, where will she be?" Ms. Liu asked again.
Just as Yang Ruoqing opened her mouth, Ms. Liu suddenly got excited and patted her thigh and shouted: "I know, could she have found a place to hide temporarily and hide it from the outside world? When Lao Wu and Hua Mao ran over, she If you sneak out again and continue on your way, Qing'er, will this be the case?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded approvingly to Ms. Liu, "Fourth Aunt, we just went there together."
Yang Ruoqing had that idea when she couldn't find Mrs. Huasheng.
In fact, it is not difficult to find Mrs. Huasheng. They have people block the intersections leading out of the village, and then search every house in the village. Don’t let go of any horns. They will definitely be able to find Mrs. Huasheng. Turn it out.
But Yang Ruoqing felt that there was no need to mobilize troops. A monk who could run away could not run away from the temple. The house and fields of Yang Huasheng's family were all here. Even if people ran away, they would only run away temporarily to hide from the limelight. Sooner or later, they would have to come back and face the situation. You can't escape by hiding. .
This is the first reason, and the second reason for Yang Ruoqing's silence is because of Yang Ruoqing's own selfishness.
She wanted to press the pause button on this matter as soon as possible. She wanted to go back to spend time with Tang Yazi and her two sons.
Moreover, Dazhi and Baobao were expected to go home today. She was thinking about going back and didn't want to watch the excitement here anymore.
"Qing'er, tell me, where do you think Mrs. Huasheng should hide in right now?"
Mrs. Liu was still chirping in her ear.
The toilet, the stacks of firewood and hay, the bottom of the bed of the lonely old man's house... all became places of Liu's suspicion.
Suddenly, Yang Ruoqing not only did not respond to Mrs. Liu, she even threw away Mrs. Liu's arm and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village.
As she walked, she started to trot, and finally, she changed from trot to gallop.
Ms. Liu was surprised and looked in the direction Yang Ruoqing ran away, and saw a carriage coming towards the village along the road.
The driver who drove the carriage was a stranger, and Mrs. Liu didn't recognize him. However, Mrs. Liu immediately guessed something when she saw Yang Ruoqing's behavior.
"Could it be that Dazhi is back? Ha, you really need to go take a look!"
Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Huasheng, six taels of silver and so on were all thrown into the back of her head by Mrs. Liu. At this moment, all her attention was attracted by her ambition of not returning to Changping Village to celebrate the New Year in many years. !
Speaking of which, Yang Ruoqing had just run across Tangba. The closer she got to the carriage, the more she could tell from the trajectory of the carriage that it was Dazhi and their carriage!
Sure enough, when the carriage was about to reach the gate of the Luo Family Courtyard, its speed dropped significantly.
A long and delicate hand opened a corner of the carriage curtain and stuck his head out to go to the Luo family courtyard door on the roadside.
That familiar and long-lost young face, that smiling face that had only appeared in dreams for a long time, finally appeared in front of Yang Ruoqing's eyes.
"Zhi'er, Zhi'er!"
Dazhi in the carriage heard someone calling her, and followed the sound to find Yang Ruoqing running towards Tangba.
At this time, another head poked out from behind Dazhi, it was Luo Baobao's energetic face.
"Yeah, brother, look, my mother was so happy to see you back that she almost lost her shoes, and her hair flew up!"
Dazhi ignored his sister's teasing and asked the driver to stop the carriage. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and hurried towards Yang Ruoqing to greet her.
When they arrived, Yang Ruoqing was about to reach out to help Dazhi's arm, but Dazhi took a step back.
He raised his hands to straighten his robes, then knelt down with a cry of double joy, "The unfilial son's ambition is back, and I kowtow to my mother!"
With a few bangs, Dazhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yang Ruoqing.
His move really shocked Yang Ruoqing.
Although this place has been repaired and has a bluestone floor, the cats, dogs, pigs, etc. in the village like to wander outside, and from time to time they will provide some food on the road.
Dazhi, who was so tidy in his clothes, a graceful and elegant man, knelt down like this, his clothes were stained, and his forehead was red and swollen. He didn't feel bad for himself, but Yang Ruoqing, a mother, felt bad!
"Oh, you are such an honest kid. Mom and I don't like this. Come on, come on, get up quickly!"
Dazhi was still kneeling on the ground, raised his head, pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and looked straight at Yang Ruoqing with clear eyes, the bottom of his eyes and the corners of his eyes gradually turning red.
