After they left, Yang Ruoqing also stood up and prepared to go to the backyard to talk to Sun and He Lian'er.
As a result, he was stopped by Lao Yangtou.
"Qing'er, what do you think will happen if they go to talk about breaking off the engagement this time?" Lao Yangtou asked.
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, "Master, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Old Yangtou said again: "Do you think the divorce will go smoothly? Will the Li family ask your second brother to compensate?"
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Sir, you are overthinking it. For someone like my second brother to take the initiative to bring the gift money back to them, he is already a very authentic woman's family."
"We should leave this kind of matter elsewhere. Many times the bride's family relies on the bride price for not returning the engagement,"
There are a lot of past life news. A man and a woman in a certain place broke off their engagement, and the woman refused to return the bride price and various gifts given by the man during their relationship.
Going to court is still a small matter, but when a big weapon meets, the man loses both his life and wealth, and in the end he is forced to kill the other person's whole family, and finally they both die together.
Anyway, there are all kinds of tragedies.
There are really very few people who want to return the gift money as soon as possible like Yang Yongjin.
Old Yangtou said: "That's true. Now that something happened to the Li family, everyone must have pushed the wall down. At this time, it is also necessary for the Li family that your second brother returns the gift money!"
Even if Li Yi's matter is very serious...
However, for the Li family, they have to spend money to go to the county government to deal with the matter quietly. This is human nature, and they always hope to get a lighter punishment.
So if nothing else happens, the Li family will definitely lose money next.
Returning the gift money at this time can be said to be a timely help for the Li family.
Of course, the Li family would never think so.
They are full of resentment towards Lao Yang's family, and they won't realize it.
The old Yang family wouldn't count on that, after all, this time it was the old Yang family who wanted to kill their relatives out of justice.
But we can’t blame the old Yang family for exterminating relatives and denying relatives. Who told Li Yi to deny relatives first and misbehave in the charity garden run by relatives?
"Sir, actually, I have a third idea." Yang Ruoqing said suddenly.
"Tell me about it," Old Yang said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'm worried... Li Wei is unwilling to cancel the engagement."
"Not willing?" Old Yangtou was shocked, "Why? Our two families have a feud. To put it bluntly, is he still willing to marry the daughter of the enemy's family? Call someone from the enemy's family his father? Call the entire enemy's family. Elders being elders? Isn’t this frustrating?”
Yang Ruoqing said: "Sir, that's because you feel aggrieved, but it doesn't represent Li Wei. Everyone has their own ideas and choices, so it's hard to say this!"
"Ah?" Old Yangtou was dumbfounded, as if he couldn't understand this kind of thinking.
Yang Ruoqing just smiled meaningfully and said, "I think Li Wei's knee is probably missing some bones. However, he might be able to give it a try!"
Leaving Lao Yang sitting there alone and repeating these words, Yang Ruoqing stretched herself and went to the backyard.
Compared with the anxious situation in the front yard about breaking off the engagement because of Xiu Xiu, the atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Sun and He Lian'er in the backyard is much more relaxed.
No, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both busy in the kitchen.
Mrs. Sun was peeling the salted duck eggs and put the round duck egg yolks into a bowl aside, leaving the egg whites alone.
In the basin on the side, glutinous rice is soaked.
He Lian'er also sat aside, with a basket and a basin in front of her. The basket was full of rice dumpling leaves.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing in a low voice the fillings of the rice dumplings for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, while they were busy with the things at hand in an orderly manner.
Yang Ruoqing liked this atmosphere very much. She started to roll up her sleeves as soon as she entered the door, took a ladle of cold water and washed her hands, ready to join in.
"If you really want to do it, go and help Lian'er wash the rice dumpling leaves. I don't need your help here." Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing knew Sun's intention.
Peeling salted duck eggs will have a fishy smell, and Mrs. Sun is worried that Yang Ruoqing will be uncomfortable with the smell.
But Yang Ruoqing didn't care: "Mom, it's okay. I'll rub it twice more with the soap later."
The three of them sat together. Yang Ruoqing looked around and saw salted duck eggs, red beans, and candied dates, so she asked Sun, "Mom, what kind of fillings are you planning to make for the Dragon Boat Festival this year?"
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Candied dates, red bean paste, salted duck egg yolk, well, I also plan to make some salted pork belly ones like those in restaurants outside. What do you think?"
Yang Ruoqing glanced at He Lian'er with a smile, "With so many creative ideas, it must be our Lian'er's suggestion, right?"
He Lian'er smiled a little embarrassedly.
"When I was chatting with my mother a few days ago, she asked me what kind of rice dumplings with fillings were popular in Qing'an County. I reported a few types, but she thought I was greedy for that one, so she secretly prepared so many. Fillings…”
Yang Ruoqing deliberately raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Mom, you are so out of your mind. It's typical for you to have a daughter-in-law, so you won't love me as your daughter!"
Sun smiled and said, "What did you say? The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and they hurt all the same."
Yang Ruoqing added: "Why didn't you ask me what kind of rice dumplings I like to eat all those years ago? When Lian'er came here, you asked Lian'er and prepared so many kinds. Isn't this partiality?"
Sun squinted her eyes and smiled, her smile was honest and simple. She was a woman who was not good at defending, and she knew that Yang Ruoqing was not really jealous, but was joking on purpose.
So Mrs. Sun just smiled and continued her busy work.
Beside, He Lian'er also smiled sweetly while washing rice dumpling leaves.
Yang Ruoqing had a clear view of her younger sister-in-law's reaction, deliberately said a few jealous words, and then immersed herself in her work.
Some jokes should be stopped in moderation. For example, just now, she said it deliberately in front of her younger sister-in-law.
There is only one purpose, which is to tell your younger sister-in-law in a subtle way that your mother-in-law values you.
Of course, normal people know that in the heart of a mother-in-law, no matter how important a daughter-in-law is, she cannot compare to the biological daughter she gave birth to.
But when a daughter-in-law gets married and a sister-in-law moves in, for the sake of her mother's happiness in her old age and for the sake of having her brother in the middle, she must never act like a so-called sister-in-law or a sister-in-law, and deliberately follow her. The mother-in-law or sister-in-law declares sovereignty.
In modern times, that kind of sister-in-law is the most annoying, let alone ancient times?
This is like your brother and sister-in-law, or your brother and sister-in-law having a quarrel, and they come to find you.
You can't just stand by your brother with your arms crossed.
Even if the sister-in-law or sister-in-law is unreasonable first, as the sister-in-law, you must stand clearly on their side and help scold your brother first.
When it's over, wait until the anger of your sister-in-law and sister-in-law subsides a bit, then you can stand in a respectable position and express your suggestions tactfully. Only in this way can you be a smart girl and help create harmony in your mother's family.
