Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11879

After dinner, Yang Ruoqing saw Yang Huaming and Liu Shi off.

Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, they saw that Liu had spent the entire night replaying the events surrounding Sixi's mother and the others, speculating about what they would see, what their feelings would be, and what kind of ordeal they would face at the county jail...

After considering for a moment, Yang Ruoqing said to Liu Shi, "I heard that Si Xi Niang was beaten by the jailer at the county jail today."

"I heard that the slap stunned him so badly that he sat on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up."

Upon hearing this, Liu stood there stunned for a long time before reacting. She clapped her hands and laughed with delight, "She deserves it! She probably ran to the county jail and acted like she was still in Changping Village, causing a scene. The jailers there won't tolerate her bad behavior!"

Yang Huaming shook his head as he listened, "We're all from the same village, we'll see each other all the time. If she's shrewish, we can just ignore her."

"Over time, she may develop the misconception that others are afraid of her tantrums."

"See? They got burned out now that they're out there. Serves them right!"

After a sigh, Yang Ruoqing watched Yang Huaming and Liu Shi walk away.

Back home, Yang Huazhong and Sun were still talking with Luo the blacksmith Wang Cuilian in the main room, while Xiao Qiao served them.

Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Nini were playing with their toys at another small round table in the main room. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan flanked Nini on either side, while their two uncles taught Nini how to play with various toys they were good at. The three children were having a great time.

As soon as Yang Ruoqing entered the room, several elders looked up at her at the same time. Yang Huazhong was the first to ask, "Qing'er, what's the situation with Dazhi? And Jinling? It's been quite a few days now, shouldn't there be some progress by now?"

Yang Ruoqing said, "We've made some progress, but the news should only reach Changhuaizhou in the next couple of days. Da'an should deliver the news to us tomorrow or the day after."

"Okay, okay!"

……

Just as the Luo and Yang families were eagerly awaiting news from Da'an, several people arrived at their door ahead of time.

They didn't climb the gate of the Luo family's house, nor the gate of Yang Huazhong's house, nor the gate of the east room of Old Yang's old house.

They climbed onto the door of the second room of the Yang family's house!

"I say, Sixi's mother, you're just making a pointless show of things. You know perfectly well that Yongjin and Bamei are in town and no one's home, so why are you coming here to put on this act?"

Early in the morning, the thunderous scolding of Madam Sun could be heard from the door of the small room across the street.

The noise immediately attracted the attention of the Luo family, Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi, and even a group of village women washing clothes and carrying water by the pond not far away. In an instant, a large crowd of onlookers gathered at the entrance of the small house.

Faced with Da Sun's questioning, Sixi's mother knelt at the entrance of the courtyard, with her eldest daughter-in-law and Sanxi standing behind her.

The eldest daughter-in-law carried a basket filled with various pastries, brown sugar, honey, eggs, and so on, covered with a red cloth.

Sanxi held a hen with its wings tied in each hand, and a dwarf duck in each hand.

To prevent the old hen and the duck from defecating and pooping indiscriminately at the entrance of the small house's courtyard, Sanxi covered the bottoms of the two poultry with cloth covers beforehand.

So half of the onlookers were watching Sixi Niang kneeling on the ground, pleading guilty, while the other half were sizing up the two hen with their rear ends covered and the dwarf duck.

They found it hilarious, so the crowd would occasionally let out bursts of snickering.

These snickers disappeared the moment Sixi Niang began her confession. She wiped away her tears, looked up at Da Sun Shi, and said, "Auntie, we weren't just putting on an act. We genuinely know we were wrong and we regret it."

"Xiuhong is a good girl. It's a miracle that she's taken a liking to our Sixi!"

"Pah!" Madam Sun spat at Si Xi Niang's feet.

"Come on, don't be ridiculous. You didn't say that before. Before, you thought you were all that, looking down on people." Madam Sun retorted to his face, "What did you say before?"

The village women watching the commotion nearby, always eager for excitement, immediately chimed in: "She said before that we have a son, and a son can go to the ends of the earth without fear of being taken advantage of!"

"Haha, yes, yes, that's exactly it." Madam Sun clapped her hands. "You have a son, right? A son doesn't suffer losses, a son is tough, a bully. You, as the mother-in-law, can walk sideways in the village, while we families who raise daughters suffer in silence!"

“My dear aunt, it’s all my fault, no matter what. You can hit me or scold me, I won’t say a word!” Sixi’s mother knelt on the ground, her head bowed and her voice hoarse and her tone very soft, completely overturning everyone’s perception of her.

……

"This Si Xi Niang, she used to be a porcupine, but now all her quills have been pulled out?"

"Of course! I heard they went to the county government yesterday, thinking they could get the person out, but they didn't. They didn't get the person back until late last night."

"Tsk tsk, it's likely that he went to the county government this time and finally realized the seriousness of the matter."

"Ha, it's hard to say whether they've grasped the seriousness of the matter, but they definitely underestimated their own abilities, otherwise they wouldn't have come to the door of Xiao Er's room to be so subservient."

"..."

The whispers among the crowd reached Yang Ruoqing's ears at the entrance of the Luo family's house.

She smiled slightly, turned around and went back into the courtyard, instructing Xingwang to close the door again.

If I'm not mistaken, the Sixi family should now be divided into two groups.

Si Xi's mother came to Xiao Erfang's place to repent, even though she knew that Xiao Erfang was not at home and was at the restaurant in town. However, Si Xi's mother still had to go through the motions and make a show of it, so as to give Xiao Erfang enough face in front of the whole village.

How they trampled on the mistress's reputation before, now they have to pay back tenfold, a hundredfold.

At the same time, Si Xi's mother was also demonstrating her sincerity to the Yang family, the Luo family, and the Sun family by doing this...

Although no one was home in the small second room, everyone else in the other rooms of the Yang family was home, and everyone else could see them!
If others see this, the news will definitely reach the ears of the second-in-command in town.

In addition, Sixi's eldest uncle and youngest uncle should have gone to look for Sixi separately at this moment.

Well, Si Xi Niang finally stopped making silly mistakes this time.

It seems that the slap from the jailer yesterday woke her up halfway, and then the complaints from her husband and two sons made her fully awake.

No matter how tough, stubborn, or unwilling to compromise a person is, it's because they haven't met someone more ruthless and domineering than her.

If you encounter this situation, then you must back down. If you back down, then you must admit it and stand at attention when you're about to be hit.

"Pass the news from the village to Xiao Erfang in town and let them decide for themselves," Yang Ruoqing said to Xingwang.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!"
