Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"With the shop gone, the livelihood cut off, the cedar trees at home will also be given away. In addition, the Hu family will also demand additional property from the He family to pay and manage the constables and jailers who worked hard in this incident!"

"Aunt He, do you believe what I said or not?"

He's mother's face had turned red at this time, and she realized that her previous behavior of inviting the Hu family to come to her house to sit and talk was a bit stupid and well-intentioned.

"I believe it. Of course I believe it. Luckily you guys came yesterday. Otherwise, I can't imagine how we would be bullied..."

Lian'er is pretty, and the Hu family has a bunch of street thugs as servants. Who knows, one of them, or some daring guy might target Lian'er in the chaos and rape her. I won't know who to turn to for justice!

Fortunately, the He family has a strong backer and good relatives!

He Lian'er took a piece of rice cake and fed it to Niu Niu, then raised her head. The red bloodshot in her eyes from staying up late had not yet faded, but there was a bit more anger and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

This anger and dissatisfaction was directed at her mother, Mother He.

"Mom, you really know how to be a good person. You are really compassionate. You are the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. You also really consider the overall situation and even consider what the neighbors say and think about us. You are really capable!"

He Lian'er has always been a very well-behaved and docile person, and is a caring little cotton-padded jacket to her father and mother.

Even if there were conflicts with He's mother's ideas in their daily lives because of educating Niu Niu or other aspects, she would always explain them in a very gentle and tactful way, and persuade her with both emotion and reason.

This is the first time I have heard such sneering, sarcastic and mocking comments as today!
"Lian'er, speak nicely!" Yang Ruoqing was the first to frown upon seeing this.

Even if He's mother is a bitch, as a daughter, you can correct her seriously, but you can't ridicule her in such a sarcastic tone.

"Sister, I really can't help it!" He Lian'er argued with Yang Ruoqing, her eyes red.

"My father is still in jail, my breakfast shop is still closed, the tables and chairs inside are all over the floor because of what happened yesterday, and the teapots and bowls are broken all over the floor."

"My shop was disrupted and defamed by people sent by Hu Xuesong. Our reputation has been ruined. Even if this matter is over, who will compensate for the damage to our shop and its reputation?"

"Those new and old customers don't know the inside story, they just believe everything they hear!"

"Even if my father is released, even if we accept Hu Xuesong's kneeling and apology, even if the shop reopens, will anyone dare to come here to eat?"

"Do we have to go to each customer on the street and explain the whole story?"

"And where's my mother?"

"When she saw Mr. Hu Xuesong and his wife kneeling at the door of my house, she suddenly felt that she had won a beautiful and satisfying comeback. The next step was for her to forgive the other party and make peace. It would be good for you, me, and everyone, right?"

"I am angry at her ignorance and spinelessness. As long as the other party is the master and the mistress and they bow their heads and give in to her, she will be satisfied. I am angry at her for pretending to be a good person and pretending to be magnanimous. She forgave the other party like this and even invited them to her home to talk and drink tea. She is really holding us back!"

He Lian'er was very emotional today. Yang Ruoqing and others were shocked by her intense reaction.

Xiaohua tried to pull He Lian'er's sleeve several times to ask her to stop talking, but He Lian'er ignored her and wiped her tears, crying as she poured out her condemnation and dissatisfaction with He's mother. When He Lian'er pointed at her, He's mother was already filled with shame. She covered her mouth, also crying, without saying a word of rebuttal.

Sun was also embarrassed.

Although He Lian'er didn't mention her at all, it was she and her mother who received the Hu couple in the morning. Sun even wanted to make tea for them out of habit, but they didn't dare to drink the tea themselves. They came in to plead with Yang Ruoqing in person.

Sun even wanted to call Yang Ruoqing to get up, but was quickly stopped by Hu Xuesong and his wife. They said they did not dare to disturb the general's wife's sleep, and they would come over to apologize in person after she woke up.

Even when they left, watching the couple kneeling all night, shivering with cold, supporting each other as they slowly walked away, Sun felt a little sympathetic towards them. She felt that it was not their fault, as it was all because they spoiled their child too much. It was clearly the child's fault, the child caused it. The couple tried to atone for their child in this way, which showed that all parents in the world have the same heart...

And now, after hearing He Lian'er's tearful accusation, Sun also lowered her head in self-blame and shame.

Her mood at the moment was exactly the same as He's mother beside her. She was incompetent and could not help her children, but she was also deliberately confused and hindered them...

Yang Ruoqing did not try to stop He Lian'er, allowing her to vent freely.

Because she found that He Lian'er had also expressed her dissatisfaction with Sun, which made Yang Ruoqing feel very good.

So after He Lian'er finished speaking, Yang Ruoqing handed her a clean handkerchief to wipe her tears. Now, it was her turn to clean up this mess.

"Aunt, don't be angry about what Lian'er said to you just now. You have to understand Lian'er's feelings. The consequences she mentioned really happened. They can't disappear and return to the state before yesterday just because the Hu couple knelt down!"

Mother He wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly, her voice choking and hoarse, "I was wrong. I was blinded by greed this morning and even invited them into the house..."

"I am a loser. I would rather suffer a little loss than tolerate others treating me any way they want."

"This is the first time that such a great master has knelt at my door. I felt dizzy. It seemed that everything could disappear into thin air and anything could be discussed. But I forgot my own weight..."

He Lian'er was originally wiping her tears and trying to calm herself down, but when she heard what her mother said, she suddenly raised her head and was about to refute.

This time, Yang Ruoqing stopped He Lian'er and said, "You've said enough. Stop talking. Let me talk."

After hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, He Lian'er turned her head away, not wanting to look at He's mother any more.

He's mother knew that her actions had really saddened her daughter, and she blamed herself even more.

Sun was also on pins and needles because she was an accomplice...

Yang Ruoqing comforted He Lian'er, then turned around and glanced at He and Sun: "There is a story called The Farmer and the Snake. It says that one winter, a farmer saw a snake that was almost frozen to death on the side of the road."

"The farmer was kind-hearted and worried that the snake would freeze to death, so he picked up the snake and put it in his clothes, and used his body temperature to warm the snake against his chest." (End of this chapter)
