Yang Ruoqing successfully got rid of Xiuxiu and left the main room alone to look for Mianmian and the other girls.
She saw Xiu Hong playing with a group of little brothers and sisters in the yard, and asked her about it.
"Back to my aunt, I saw Aunt Xiangxiang and Aunt Mianmian returning to the fifth room. It seemed that Aunt Xiangxiang's cousin wanted to use the toilet."
"Okay." Yang Ruoqing smiled and touched Xiuhong's hair, "You are a good sister. You take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, which saves the adults trouble."
Yes, Xiuhong, who is twelve years old, is not playing by herself in this yard.
She was already old enough to play like this, and it wasn't that she didn't like playing, but the little kids in the yard in front of her were all cousins at home.
Although Uncle Tiedan and cousin Honger are about the same age as Xiuhong, the two boys have long been ignorant.
I didn’t even ask for leave from my husband today. Yang Ruoqing told her not to delay her studies because of these things, and concentrate on her studies in school. At worst, when she comes back from school at night, she comes to Luo’s house for dinner, and the good food will be reserved for them!
So if the twelve-year-old Xiu Hong is allowed to play with the group of little carrots in front of her, she really won't be able to play together.
But she still didn't go anywhere. She just followed these younger brothers and sisters, keeping an eye on them at all times. If anyone had a dispute with someone, her sister would immediately come over to mediate and try not to make them unhappy.
So Yang Ruoqing appreciates Xiuhong very much. With her around, adults can be lazy.
Faced with the compliment from Yang Ruoqing, Xiuhong just smiled.
Yang Ruoqing didn't say much. Girls of this age are in their prime.
Some things go too far, and if you say too much, she will become thin-skinned.
However, Yang Ruoqing admired Xiu Hong very much. She was prettier than Xiu Xiu. Her size and figure were similar to those of the girls from the old Yang family, and her temper was better than Xiu Xiu's.
I used to think that although Xiuxiu was a bit ugly and had a bad figure, she had a pretty good temperament.
But since her marriage to Li Wei went through twists and turns, Xiu Xiu cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. The many comments she made really ruined people's outlook and shocked them.
An image of an extremely selfish person who only calculated for herself was established, making people instantly dislike her.
Otherwise Yang Ruoqing would not have been able to make the temporary decision to cut off the bottom money!
Regardless of whether it was San Yatou or Mianmian, when Yang Ruoqing got married, she just threw away thirty taels of silver.
This is a huge amount of capital. First-class fertile land can buy five acres!
Five acres of land, to be honest, if you rent it out, you will have food to eat for the rest of your life!
Originally, when they arrived at Xiuxiu, Yang Ruoqing treated everyone equally.
But what Xiuxiu did later was so disappointing that she insisted on marrying Li Wei.
So Yang Ruoqing directly cut off half of the money from the box and gave Xiuxiu fifteen taels of silver.
Xiu Xiu didn't say anything, but she must be a hundred unhappy in her heart.
Yang Ruoqing didn't care. If she wasn't happy, she wouldn't be happy. The reason why she could still give her fifteen taels of silver was entirely for the sake of her second brother and sister-in-law.
Yang Ruoqing really found San Yatou and Mianmian in the fifth room.
When they found it, Sanyatou's son was playing with Jiang Guiling's daughter. Sanyatou and Mianmian were looking after each other. The two cousins didn't know what they were talking about. Mianmian looked a little sad, and Sanyatou was trying to persuade him.
They didn't react until Yang Ruoqing walked up to them.
Moreover, if Jiang Guiling's daughter hadn't called her Aunt Yang Ruoqing, neither of them would have reacted.
"Sister Qing'er, why are you here free? Are you missing something?"
Mianmian's first reaction was that Yang Ruoqing was missing something, so she came to borrow it.
This is very common among villagers, especially when hosting a large banquet. The host generally cannot afford so many bowls, tables and chairs to entertain guests, so it is common to borrow them from others around you.
And most of the people around me will borrow it, because next time I have something important to do, I will also need to borrow it from the other person's house, so everyone helps each other.
"There is no shortage of things. I just had a little free time, so I went to the front yard to say hello a few times. I didn't see you sisters, so I came over to see what was going on." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mianmian smiled shyly, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly: "Nothing's going on. Come back and sit for a while. We'll go back later when the two little darlings are catching Zhou."
The third girl said directly to Yang Ruoqing: "We saw Xiuxiu and Li Wei coming together. Then Li Wei came in and saw Mianmian. In full view of everyone, his eyes were so straight that he didn't know how to turn around..."
"Sister Xiangxiang, what are you talking about? Stop talking!" Mianmian blushed and interrupted the third girl.
Third girl: "What can't I say? Sister Qing'er is an insider!"
On the day of Xiuxiu's wedding, Li Wei sneaked into Mianmian's house wearing the groom's wedding clothes and almost scared Mianmian half to death.
Then Yang Ruoqing and the three girls came over. Yang Ruoqing went directly into the house to chase him. As a result, he jumped out of the back window and escaped. But his figure, clothes, and the hat with flower feathers on the groom's head were all different to Yang Ruoqing. See clearly.
There was no need for Mianmian to tell who it was, Yang Ruoqing knew it was Li Wei without a doubt.
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing is indeed one of the insiders.
Seeing Mianmian lowering her head feebly, the third girl knew that she had convinced Mianmian, so the third girl continued to say to Yang Ruoqing: "Li Wei's eyes make people sick just looking at him. He looks like a dog. I really don't know how to embroider." Why are you so curious about him? You can’t tell at all that the eyes of the man next to you look like someone else’s daughter-in-law!”
Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly, "I saw that you were not here, so I guessed this."
"That's why I came here,"
"Well, I will arrange the dining area later. The men will eat in the main room, and the women will move to the side room next door. There will be two tables in the side room, separated by a screen. You guys will sit inside behind the screen. Zhang, as for Xiuxiu, I will arrange for her to sit outside the screen."
After hearing Yang Ruoqing's arrangement, San Yatou and Mianmian looked at each other.
Then, the two of them thought about it for a moment, and immediately understood the good intentions of Yang Ruoqing's arrangement.
Let them be isolated from Xiu Xiu. In this way, even if Li Wei makes excuses to come to the women's table to have something to do, he will also avoid direct contact with Mianmian.
"Yeah, thank you, Sister Qing'er, for the arrangement. This arrangement couldn't be better." The third girl said.
Mianmian looked at Yang Ruoqing gratefully, and then asked softly, "Would that cause trouble to you, Sister Qing'er?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and waved her hand: "What are you talking about? I am the host today. I should arrange the guest list and seating positions. You can just go over and have a banquet without any worries!"
