Wanghai County, Changping Village.
When Yang Ruoqing came to the second bedroom, she clearly felt that the atmosphere was different from the previous fifth bedroom.
Although the main room was decorated very festively by the second sister-in-law Cao Bamei, the table was filled with all kinds of fruits and snacks, tea, honey water, and red date water.
In addition, brothers Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing also brought their families to have New Year's Eve dinner here. The tables and chairs at the scene can be seen from the traces of the previous grand gathering of many people.
However, Yang Ruoqing clearly felt that there was some reluctance behind the second sister-in-law's smile.
Especially when the second brother followed everyone back from the old house and handed the four New Year's red envelopes given by the old man and the others to Cao Bamei, and told Cao Bamei: "The first three points are given to Sister Xiuxiu by the children's great-grandfather and grandmother. It belongs to the three brothers, and the fourth share is from the old man and the old lady who embroidered the little grandson in our belly for us."
When Cao Bamei heard this, her hand holding the red envelope trembled slightly.
The expression on his face also looked very uncomfortable at that moment.
But she quickly adjusted herself, put on a grateful smile on her face, and said, "Grandma is really thoughtful, everything is ready."
Yang Yongjin grinned: "A great-great-grandson, a member of the fifth generation, how can you not be happy!"
Cao Bamei nodded and did not dwell on this topic.
Silently put away the red envelope and poured tea for Yang Ruoqing and others.
"Second sister-in-law, I just had a drink at Fifth Aunt's place, so don't bother." Yang Ruoqing said.
But Cao Bamei didn't obey. She picked up the tea bowl and turned to Yang Ruoqing and said, "What? Why don't you drink a bowl of tea from the second brother and second sister-in-law's house all year long? Tonight is New Year's Eve. It's New Year's Eve. Even if you take a sip, you have to be meaningful. Well, at least speaking of it, you also held the bowl from the second brother and second sister-in-law’s family this year.”
In this case, Yang Ruoqing could only laugh and follow Cao Bamei's reception.
Yang Yongjin stretched out the plate of melon seeds in front of Luo Fengtang, "Tang Yazi, come on, break two of them, don't sit still."
"Okay." Luo Fengtang smiled faintly, stretched out his two slender fingers and twisted a few in his hand.
After the previous conversation between Qing'er and the second sister-in-law, Luo Fengtang also learned a lesson and twisted a few melon seeds to make sense, so that the second brother would not complain again that he had not eaten anything from his house all year round...
However, paper cannot contain anger, and some emotions cannot be hidden no matter how hard they are concealed.
Just like Cao Bamei, after sitting for a while, the smile on her face disappeared little by little, and she looked towards the door and turned towards the backyard from time to time.
When there were footsteps at the door, she would immediately get up and rush to the door to take a look. In the short period of time Yang Ruoqing and the others sat here, she had already stood up three times.
The third time, because she stood up so quickly, the tea bowl on the table in front of her was almost knocked over by the movement she made.
If Yang Yongjin was holding back the first two times and didn't want to expose it in public, but this third time, Yang Yongjin couldn't help it.
"What's wrong with you tonight? Why are you so distracted?"
Cao Bamei blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
He even murmured: "I, I want to see if..."
"Is it something?" Yang Yongjin asked in public.
Cao Bamei was embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ruoqing immediately smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, second brother, don't ask. My second sister-in-law has her own ideas."
"I almost knocked over the tea bowl, it's a Chinese New Year!" Although Yang Yongjin gave Yang Ruoqing face and did not question Cao Bamei in public, his face also showed obvious displeasure and impatience with Cao Bamei's behavior.
To be honest, Cao Bamei was thinking about something. She kept getting up and looking at the door. Yang Yongjin knew it clearly.
It was precisely because it was so clear that it irritated him even more!
But during the Chinese New Year, Yang Yongjin endured it.
Because he doesn't want to think about those things. Thinking about them makes people upset, and there is no need or significance to think about them.
Moreover, Yang Yongjin also privately discussed with Cao Bamei what to do next, and Cao Bamei also said that he would make the decision.
As a result, this woman turned her back and started thinking wildly. What a kind woman!
The source of bad things!
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more awkward. Yang Ruoqing glanced at Luo Fengtang, then put down the tea bowl filled with honey water in her hand, and stood up with a smile: "Second brother and sister-in-law, I will come over to play later, I have to go back first. A few red envelopes haven’t been handed over to the children yet, haha!”
Luo Fengtang also stood up and said to Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei: "Second brother and sister-in-law have time to come and sit at our house."
Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei also stood up to see off the guests.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had not yet reached the door of the main room. At this time, the courtyard door outside suddenly made a banging sound, as if someone pushed it open from the outside.
Cao Bamei had a clever idea and rushed out of the main room to see what was going on.
It turns out that it was blown by the wind!
"Hey, not so!"
Cao Bamei mumbled and turned around in disappointment.
But I found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in front of me.
He raised his head and found his husband, Yang Yongjin, staring at him with a dark face under the lantern at the door of the hall.
Yang Ruoqing stood aside and secretly winked at Cao Bamei.
Cao Bamei's heart was shrouded in huge disappointment at the moment, her brain was moving a little slowly, and she couldn't quite understand what Yang Ruoqing's eyes meant!
"You were so distracted all night, and the ghost probe came to you seventy or eighty times, what are you doing?"
Sure enough, Yang Yongjin's previously suppressed anger surged up again, and it was still the kind that couldn't be suppressed.
"What the hell are you looking at? You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, so what you say is more auspicious." Cao Bamei felt guilty and didn't dare to argue loudly with Yang Yongjin. She only dared to whisper in a low voice.
There happened to be a box of empty fireworks that had been put out before the New Year's Eve dinner at the door of the main room. It was a square paper box for fireworks.
The mistress was not allowed to throw it away, and was told to keep it for the first month of the year and play with it slowly.
So Yang Yongjin picked up the empty gift box that his son liked and put it under the eaves alone.
Now angry at his wife's words and actions, he raised his foot and kicked his son's favorite gift box into the middle of the yard.
"What the hell, you, a woman, are really holding me back. You can't understand the importance of things. If I have intentions, why don't you wait until now and still not come to my door?
You still have to look around. What are you looking forward to? Can we argue with each other? Being a human being requires face! "
After Yang Yongjin kicked off the gift box, he stood at the door of the hall and shouted filial piety to Cao Bamei in a low voice.
The reason why he shouted filial piety in a low voice was because today was the Chinese New Year, and he didn't want to cause trouble to everyone because of their second wife's matter.
But this kind of anger really prevented him from venting it, so when he whispered filial piety, he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face several times.
Chapter
This slap made a hunting sound and contained no trace of lake at all.
And there was no tendency to stop, which frightened Cao Bamei, and she quickly came up and hugged Yang Yongjin's arm with both hands.
"What are you doing? Don't do this. If you want to hit me, hit me. Don't hit yourself!"
"If you destroy yourself, how can we deal with so many people in our family? The third son is so young, but he is still counting on you as the backbone and the backbone!"
Cao Bamei hugged Yang Yongjin tightly and burst into tears.
Facts have proved that using softness to overcome strength is very, very effective for a man like Yang Yongjin who gets angry when his wife cries and hugs him and says these words.
Because this means that there is someone in this world who cares about you more than you do yourself.
And people all like this feeling of being cared about by others.
Therefore, Yang Yongjin's violent aura also weakened. He stood stiffly on the spot, but his shoulders slumped.
He lowered his head, stared at his toes, and sighed heavily.
"You were absent-minded this night and frequently looked outside. Do you really think I don't know anything?"
"You have been waiting for Li Wei to come over, waiting for him to come over to coax Xiuxiu, waiting for him to take advantage of the good atmosphere of the New Year to come and take us Xiuxiu back to Lijiacun."
"I understand what you are thinking, but I know that Li Wei can't come here!"
"Men know men, especially men like Li Wei. I can tell right away that he has never thought about picking up my embroidery!"
"Maybe... you don't dare to come?" Cao Bamei asked weakly after hearing this.
Because of this question, Yang Yongjin's anger that had just been extinguished was rekindled.
Seeing that Yang Yongjin was about to explode, Luo Fengtang quickly raised his hand to hold Yang Yongjin's shoulders and shook his head at him.
Yang Ruoqing took Cao Bamei aside at the right time and told her in a serious voice: "Second sister-in-law, what's there to be afraid of? Not to mention that our old Yang family is such an open-minded and reasonable family, even if our old Yang family is upright like that You, Li Wei, are a strong and domineering man. For the sake of your wife and children, if you really want your husband and wife to be reunited and their flesh and blood not to be separated, you won't even frown even if you go up the mountain of swords, go through the sea of fire and into the frying pan, right?"
"If none of this comes, then it means that, as my second brother said, he deliberately does not want Xiuxiu and the baby in his belly!"
"Since we have been given up and abandoned by others, like wild cats and wild dogs, you say, we still can't recognize the reality? Are we still here to imagine that he can find his conscience and come to pick him up?"
"Second sister-in-law, we are born as human beings. We live in this world to find people who cherish each other and care about each other. We join a group to keep each other warm. We are not human beings to be a humble licking dog for another person who doesn't care about you!"
"Even if they are real cats and dogs, they only wag their tails to show their goodwill to the owners who feed them. Are we, as humans, reincarnated with human heads, worse than animals with cat heads? Isn't that right?"
Yang Ruoqing's words made Cao Bamei speechless and stunned on the spot.
After a while, Cao Bamei said with tears streaming down her face: "Qing'er, I understand all the things you said. I also want to make a break with the Li family completely. People like Li Wei are lazy and incompetent. With that, I despise the man who uses his sweet words to trick us into doing embroidery!"
"But I can't help my family Xiuxiu. I can't see her sad. That's why I'm tied up to look forward to and look forward to people like Li Wei who I despise from the bottom of my heart. I feel embarrassed myself, but I can't help it, Xiuxiu is my heart and I feel sorry for my daughter..."
