Wanghai County, Changping Village.
The day after the Double Ninth Festival, Yang Huaming, Yang Yongzhi, and Yang Yongqing, the uncle and nephew, brought two carriages to take Old Yangtou to the county town for leg treatment.
Why use two carriages?
The reason is simple. Not only is the old man going to the county town this time, Yu Xingkui must also go with him to take care of the old man.
In addition, there is another person who is also clamoring to go.
"Hey, you said your breasts are real, like a child. Your father is going to have his leg cured and not go shopping. She has to make a lot of noise and insist on following him. It's a joke!"
On the road at the entrance of Luo's courtyard, looking at the two carriages going away, making sure that her complaints would not be heard by Mrs. Tan in the carriage, Mrs. Liu loudly poured out her dissatisfaction.
On the side, Yang Ruoqing and Cao Bamei both glanced at Tan.
Because of Xiu Xiu's incident, Xiu Xiu contradicted Mr. Liu, and the two had a quarrel at the gate of the courtyard on the day they opened the mountain.
Therefore, during this period, the relationship between Cao Bamei and Liu was not very good.
Later, for some unknown reason, the two of them had some quarrels.
Cao Bamei is still in the stage of cold war with Mrs. Liu, and neither of them talks to each other when they meet. Even on the Double Ninth Festival, Cao Bamei stewed a bowl of meat and sent it to Mrs. Tan to honor Mr. Liu, and when they met Mr. Liu, neither of them said anything to each other. Pay attention.
So even though they came out together to see off the old man and the old lady, they didn't speak.
Cao Bamei glanced at Ms. Liu, rolled her eyes and turned her face away.
Ms. Liu also wanted to turn her face away, but because Yang Ruoqing was on Cao Bamei's side, Ms. Liu wanted to talk to Yang Ruoqing, so she had to turn her face back.
"Qing'er, what do you think your baby is doing? Wouldn't it be better to just wait for your father at home? You have to go over there, you're so sticky, it's a joke to people outside!"
As Liu was talking, she didn't know what she was thinking of, but she bared her teeth and smiled.
Hearing Ms. Liu's smile, Cao Bamei, who originally turned her face away, turned her head back and looked at Ms. Liu like a monster.
"Fourth Aunt, I have to say something. Why do you arrange everything like this when it comes to your mouth? You smile so obscenely, what are you thinking in your mind? What are you pretending to do?"
Mrs. Liu gave Cao Bamei a hard look: "What do I think or pretend to do? It's none of your business?"
"Did I talk to you first? I'm talking to Qing'er. Do you want to talk more?"
Cao Bamei also sneered: "I don't care about talking to you like this, Fourth Aunt. I really can't bear to listen so I can't help but talk nonsense."
Ms. Liu: "If you don't care, why don't you talk to me? Can't you help it? Haha, I'm telling you, if you can't bear to listen, you can cover your ears. It's not like you don't have hands. I ask you to listen." Lai, did you listen?"
Cao Bamei was so angry that her face turned red and her neck thickened, "Fourth Aunt, your words are too unpleasant. You are just arranging the elders behind your back, and you are so messy."
Mrs. Liu: "I'm happy, I'm willing. If you're not convinced, you can go after your grandma to sue me. Go, go, go!"
Cao Bamei stamped her feet and started to roll up her sleeves. It seemed that she was ready to weigh it up with Ms. Liu.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu also set up his position.
Yang Ruoqing remembered that time Yuanyuan got lost because Cao Bamei and Yang Huamei had a fight on the road, which made the chickens and dogs restless.
Mrs. Sun and herself intervened at that time, but Yuanyuan, who woke up from her nap, got lost alone.
The same stupid thing cannot happen again.
So this time when Cao Bamei and Liu were about to fight, Yang Ruoqing quickly stood between them.
"You two should calm down, you are both from the old Yang family, don't get into trouble at every turn!"
Mrs. Liu pointed at Cao Bamei and said, "She was the one who disrespected me, the fourth aunt, in the first place. I am the elder. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. I just follow the same pattern in embroidery. She also contradicts me, the fourth aunt, which is outrageous!"
Cao Bamei spat on the ground: "Are you worthy of calling yourself grandma? Do you look a bit like an elder? My Xiuxiu is pregnant, and you are being serious with a pregnant person. I think you are really idle!"
"Is it a big deal that I'm pregnant?" Mrs. Liu asked, "If you're pregnant, you should be raising the baby at home. Why do you come to your parents' house to steal chickens?"
"What do you mean by stealing a chicken? You're going further and further. My Xiuxiu can eat the chickens I raise as much as he wants. It's all under your control!"
"Okay, okay, Fourth Aunt, please stop saying a few words!" Yang Ruoqing yelled at Ms. Liu in a louder tone.
Seeing Mrs. Liu's aggrieved look after being scolded, Yang Ruoqing turned to Cao Bamei with a cold face and said, "Second sister-in-law, although fourth aunt is not very good at talking, she is very good at embroidery outside!"
"One slap can't make a difference. Don't keep dragging her to argue with Xiuxiu. No matter how you say it, Xiuxiu is a junior. Is she right? Everyone else is wrong?"
Cao Bamei also became mute.
Yang Ruoqing said to Cao Bamei: "Last time you and my aunt quarreled and fought about Xiu Xiu, and this time you have to quarrel and fight with Fourth Aunt because of Xiu Xiu? That's about it. Let's go back and think about it ourselves!"
Cao Bamei stamped her feet: "I'm here to save Qing'er's face. I won't argue with you, Fourth Aunt. From now on, no one will be provoked by anyone else!"
After saying these words, Cao Bamei turned around and ran back to her yard.
Mrs. Liu also stood there with her hands on her hips and spat at Cao Bamei's back: "Who is afraid of whom? Let's walk half way towards the road towards the sky!"
After Mrs. Liu said this, she turned around and found that Yang Ruoqing had also gone to the entrance of Luo Family Courtyard.
Mrs. Liu was trying to follow her, but Yang Ruoqing turned around and made a stop gesture to her.
Mrs. Liu was stunned on the spot, not quite understanding what Yang Ruoqing meant.
"What's wrong, Qing'er? Are you busy?" she asked.
Yang Ruoqing knew that Mrs. Liu was following her because she wanted to go to Luo's house to have tea and snacks. After all, Wang Cuilian was so hospitable, and she and Mrs. Sun were almost sisters in this respect.
Yang Ruoqing didn't care about the little food and drink, just that little food and drink wouldn't make Yang Ruoqing poor.
But Yang Ruoqing was really annoyed with Mrs. Liu today and didn't want her to follow her or continue to listen to her nonsense.
"Fourth Aunt, I'm not afraid to say it clearly, you don't want to come to my house today, because I'm not interested in listening to those nonsense about the East having the richest family and the West having the shortcomings!"
Yang Ruoqing stared into Mrs. Liu's eyes and spoke word by word. Although her face was calm, her eyes were cold, and she felt as if she was thousands of miles away.
Mrs. Liu was originally planning to brush off the scoundrels as usual, but when she caught Yang Ruoqing's eyes, Ms. Liu retreated.
She took a few steps back and stopped following Yang Ruoqing. Instead, she asked Yang Ruoqing, "Can I come over tomorrow to visit you?"
Yang Ruoqing was originally very angry with Mrs. Liu, and what annoyed her the most was that she would always quarrel with others.
