Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11828

The night before Yang Ruoqing decided to take Xiao Qiao, the three children in her family, Rong Gu, Shao Yao, the two grandmothers, and Ping An who was driving the carriage, to the county town, Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei arrived at the Luo family's house in the dark after dinner, when the Luo family was about to go to sleep.

"Qing'er, are you asleep? I need your help with something."

Cao Bamei's voice sounded particularly dejected, lonely, anxious, and helpless in the night.

"What's wrong so late?" Yang Ruoqing was startled by Cao Bamei's voice. She turned around and saw Yang Yongjin, who was following behind Cao Bamei, looking equally grim, through the lantern hanging under the eaves at the entrance of the main room.

"Second brother is here too? Oh my god, what's going on? Come in and sit down, let's talk."

Well, Yang Ruoqing's drowsiness vanished instantly. She was about to let the others go back to their rooms to sleep when Luo the blacksmith and Wang Cuilian exchanged a glance and said in unison, "No rush."

So the old couple stayed too. The blacksmith Luo went over and brought Yang Yongjin some tobacco, an old habit of men to relieve their frustrations.

Young men may not have unlocked this habit yet, but when they get older, become grandfathers or great-grandfathers, well, this habit in their genes will be unlocked, and they will find that when they are happy or depressed, they like to have a couple of bites.

Smoking a pipe or drinking alone in solitude. Of course, when something joyful happens, one should smoke a good pipe and drink a good bottle of liquor.

The former is a dispatch, the latter is a celebration.

"Oh, thank you so much, Uncle Luo. It's so late at night, and I'm bothering you. Oh!"

Yang Yongjin sighed twice in one sentence, but that didn't stop him from stuffing the tobacco into his hands. The movement was still very smooth and rounded, revealing his skill in the details.

On the other hand, Wang Cuilian, as a woman, helped alleviate the anxiety of other women by taking several steps.

The first step is to brew a bowl of tea for the other person.

If you're close friends, you'll grab some tea leaves and brew tea. If you're not so close, you'll just pour a bowl of tea from a teapot that's already been brewed for each other.

At this moment, Wang Cuilian brewed a bowl of tea for Cao Bamei and placed it in front of her, then began the second step.

The second step is to open the lidded tin bottle on the coffee table and take out some crispy sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, or gourd seeds to serve to the other person.

It could also be some snacks like sesame candy or peanut candy.

After completing these two steps, Wang Cuilian sat down and began to ask the other person what had happened.

But because Yang Ruoqing was so impatient, she glanced at the 'battle' on both sides and asked directly, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, what exactly happened? Just tell me!"

Yang Yongjin sighed for the third time and looked at Cao Bamei: "You tell me, she's the good daughter you raised!"

Cao Bamei looked aggrieved and muttered, "It's always like this. If anything happens to my daughter, it's all my fault. It's like I'm the only one who gave birth to her..."

Yang Yongjin frowned and said, "I'm a man who has to go out and earn money to support the family. You're the one who takes care of all the kids. As their mother, shouldn't you pay more attention to what our daughter does and what she thinks? Now that this has happened, you're going to bring shame to our Yang family again!"

"Oh my god, what kind of terrible thing has happened?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes darted back and forth between the couple, glancing at whoever spoke first. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, slamming her hand on the table and impatiently scolding them, "Alright, alright, if you two want to argue, go home and do it. Coming to my door in the middle of the night, get to the point!"

Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei were both a little embarrassed. Yang Yongjin blushed and pointed at Cao Bamei, saying, "Tell me, I'm too embarrassed to even ask!"

Then he turned his head to the side.

Luo the blacksmith patted Yang Yongjin on the shoulder, telling him to calm down and not to be like this.

Yang Ruoqing also glared at Yang Yongjin. Her second brother was good in other aspects and loved the children, but he was prone to losing his temper when something happened with his second sister-in-law. His way of speaking was somewhat chauvinistic.

But you can't blame them. The prevailing trend of the time was male chauvinism. There was no way around it, especially for the wealthy, who often had multiple wives and concubines. They were typical lords at home, with their entire families revolving around them and serving them.

"Second sister-in-law, don't pay attention to my second brother. You can talk, I'm listening." Yang Ruoqing turned her head and spoke to Cao Bamei in a slightly gentler tone.

Cao Bamei nodded, her complexion improving slightly.

"Is this about Xiuxiu this time?" Yang Ruoqing asked again, but in her heart she thought, "It shouldn't be like this. Last time when Manager Wang and his son Wang Xiaofan came to the Luo family, Yang Ruoqing used both kindness and severity. She believed that as long as the other party wasn't stupid and understood what she meant, they wouldn't dare to neglect Xiuxiu."

Otherwise, Yang Ruoqing would have wiped out the Wang family's small plant business.

However, Cao Bamei shook her head: "No, Qing'er, everything is fine with Xiuxiu, she doesn't bother me at all. But Xiuhong, well, I really don't know what to say."

"Ah? Xiu Hong? Isn't Er Ya Tou very well-behaved? She's usually your right-hand woman!" Wang Cuilian exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing was also full of confusion. "Yes, Second Sister-in-law, Xiuhong has been calm and sensible since she was a child. To put it bluntly, although she is a few years younger than Xiuxiu, she is much more mature than Xiuxiu in terms of temperament."

"Your third son, Yongxiao, and Yongxiao, it's perfectly reasonable to say that she raised them!"

"What could such a sensible girl possibly do to make you and my second brother so upset?"

Cao Bamei said, "I agree with everything you said. This girl has been more well-behaved and sensible than her older sister since she was little."

"Or maybe it's the one sandwiched between the older sister and the younger brother. People say that the one who is more mature than the other two is more mature than the other two."

"But this composure and maturity is both a good thing and a bad thing!"

“She…she was determined to do something without even consulting us elders! By the time she told us, it was already a done deal, and she didn’t even bother to inform us, my husband and me. Can you believe it? It felt like the sky was falling down.”

What?
This startled not only Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian, who looked at each other in astonishment, but even the blacksmith Luo almost dropped his pipe.

Just because of Cao Bamei's words, "The deed is done"...

This sentence is incredibly complex. Although it can be used in many situations, in a rural household, especially when it involves a young woman of marriageable age, using this sentence will make the first reaction of those around her: "Oh no, Xiu Hong has lost her virginity. She went from a pure and innocent young girl to a young married woman in one fell swoop!"
