Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11878

Da Xi and Er Xi's attitude has become very clear, completely different from their previous stance of standing with Sixi's mother and resolutely opposing the marriage.

Now, both brothers voted in favor. Not only that, Erxi even glanced at his mother and muttered, "If it weren't for Mother lying in there objecting, we wouldn't be in this situation. Hopefully, turning back now can still salvage the situation..."

Da Xi nodded repeatedly, then looked hesitantly at his mother: "Mother, please don't be angry anymore, think about our lives..."

When Sixi's mother heard her two sons scolding her, she felt so wronged that tears streamed down her face.

"You two ungrateful wretches, that's not what you said back then, why are you now putting all the blame on me?"

“Mother, you are our mother. We initially approved of Fourth Brother and Xiu Hong, but you insisted on opposing it. We only agreed with you because we were afraid of you…”

"You two brats...you're driving me crazy!" Sixi's mother clutched her chest in anger.

At this moment, Sixi's father, who had been silent for a while, glared at Sixi's mother with a gloomy face: "What the sons said is right. You are short-sighted and have long hair but short brains. You have ruined our whole family!"

“His father, you…” Sixi’s mother clutched her chest, staring blankly at Sixi’s father. Suddenly, she bit her lip hard, turned her face to the side, and tears streamed down her face.

Sixi's father then said to Sixi's eldest uncle, "Brother, women are unreliable; they can only cause trouble."

"Right now, I hope that you, brother, will take Sanxi and the others to help us find Sixi first, and then we can go to Old Yang's house to apologize..."

It was only then that Sixi's father suddenly realized the root of all this.

Sixi's uncle nodded. "I understand. Don't worry, when we get back we'll find Sixi first, then explain the situation to her. By the way, when we talk to Sixi, you need to think carefully about your attitude towards the marriage... Don't change your mind after you're out of jail! The Yang and Luo families can lock you up once, and they can lock you up a second and a third time. You'd better think it through!"

The brothers Da Xi and Er Xi eagerly declared, "Uncle, we won't change our minds! We wholeheartedly support our fourth brother's marriage to Xiu Hong!"

"Dad, say something! You are the head of our family. Don't let Mom's petty ways lead you astray!"

“Yes, Father, we’re still young, we don’t want to die in jail… If we’re locked up for another two days, we’ll all die of illness and freeze to death…”

"Alright, alright, shut up!" Si Xi's father was extremely annoyed and scolded the two of them. Then he said to Si Xi's uncle, "Brother, we won't change our minds. We have agreed to the marriage. Our family will still follow the highest standards in the village and do our best to give Xiu Hong the most dignified betrothal ceremony so that she can marry into our family in a grand and glorious manner!"

"Please, please help us pass on a message to Old Yang's family: we truly know we were wrong!"

……

No sooner had Sixi's mother and Sixi's uncle left than the jailer handed a slip of paper to the burly jailer.

"Quickly, send the VIP pigeon to Changping Village."

"Yes."

……

Changping Village, Luo Family.

The sun had just set. In the backyard of the Luo family, Yang Ruoqing, on a whim, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to cook a delicious meal for her family herself. Yang Huazhong and Madam Sun had also been invited over by Luo the blacksmith. Madam Liu, who had come to visit, saw the commotion and decided to stay, but her reason was that since Ruoqing was cooking, she should definitely help her with the firewood.

Since Liu is here, Yang Huaming, who has returned from the Taoist temple, certainly won't be left to live and cook alone at home. Therefore, Yang Huaming also eats at the Luo family's house.

Tonight, Yang Ruoqing is making grass carp stew with tofu, along with a pound of shrimp paste and two pounds of sweet potato noodles. She is using the open-air stove outside the kitchen, and there are flatbreads stuck to the edge of the iron pot.

Rice is steaming in a small pot, with a few molten sweet potatoes steamed on top. Tofu is cooked a thousand times, fish ten thousand times. On a cold day, this is the kind of fragrant and spicy dish you should eat. Scoop a couple of spoonfuls of fish soup and mix it with the rice. It's incredibly delicious.

In no time, the fish was cooked, and the flatbread was golden brown and smelled delicious.

The rice and sweet potatoes were steamed, and the whole family took their bowls and chopsticks and gathered around the stove to eat. At this time, the sun had just set, and although the light was a bit dim, the backyard of the Luo family was brightly lit by lanterns. Adults and children gathered here, making it a lively scene.

With a flatbread in her left hand and a bowl of fish soup with fish meat in her right, Liu was dipping the flatbread in the soup and chewing it with gusto, thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Oh my, we're eating so well here. I wonder how Sixian's mother and the others are doing in the county town right now?" Liu said as she ate, a kind of disguised 'reminiscing about the past and appreciating the present'.

Remembering others' suffering and reflecting on one's own happiness has a unique charm.

That's why they say you shouldn't share a blanket with two different types of people. Yang Huaming immediately picked up on Liu's words, smacking his lips as he said, "I'm not concerned about the ones outside, but rather the father and his three sons inside. In this freezing weather, life in prison must be tough, every day feels like an eternity!"

Yang Ruoqing listened without saying a word, holding a small bowl filled with shrimp paste, feeding it to her granddaughter Nini in her arms, bite by bite.

As for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, they used to need to be fed by Shaoyao and Linglan, but since Nini came, they have become uncles and elders.

Without realizing it, they have already started to see themselves as adults, and the first thing they do is to eat by themselves instead of being fed.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing listened to her fourth uncle and aunt's discussions and teasing, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.

Need I say more about the situation of that father and his two sons in prison?
Just moments before, Yang Ruoqing received a message from the county jail, which detailed what Si Xi Niang and her family had done in prison and what they had said...

The father and his two sons had a very difficult time in prison. Other prisoners could eat two meals a day, each meal consisting of food, though not particularly good, but at least not spoiled. They could eat until they were about 60 or 70 percent full. The cells also provided mattresses and blankets for sleeping, so that no one would starve or freeze to death during interrogation.

As for Si Xi's father and his two sons, they received special 'care' in terms of their cell and prison food...

Otherwise, with such great joy and double joy, they wouldn't be saying that every day feels like a year.

"Qing'er, when are we going to let them out?" Liu suddenly turned around and asked.

Yang Ruoqing said, "That depends on when they can find Sixi and then come to our Yang family with sincerity to apologize."

"If you show sincerity, everything is negotiable; if you don't show sincerity, then I'm sorry."

They won't let the father and his two sons die, but they'll definitely be severely injured.

The reason they weren't killed was out of consideration for Xiu Hong. What if Xiu Hong still eloped with Sixi one day? If the love between the young couple is mixed with lives and bloodshed, it will ultimately be a lifelong rift. So this time, lives won't be taken, but the father and sons must suffer enough to learn their lesson!
