Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11880

Sixi's mother knelt at the door of the small room for an entire day, crying and repenting, attracting more than half of the men, women, and children in the village to come and watch the spectacle.

In the dead of winter, with less work to do in the fields, everyone is idle. Without internet, cell phones, or other entertainment, they all flock to watch Sixi Niang's performance.

Liu, naturally, also rushed off to watch the commotion, and couldn't help but give a scathing critique of Sixi Niang's previous actions.

Faced with Liu's sarcastic remarks, Sixi Niang, for the first time ever, put aside her usual shrewishness and argumentative nature, letting Liu do whatever she wanted with her sarcastic remarks and nagging.

She just kept repenting and praising the second wife, from Yang Yongjin to Cao Bamei, from Xiuxiu to Xiao Sanzi to Yongxiao.

Of course, the main focus of praise should be on Xiu Hong.

"Good girl, good child, I love you. I was blind before, not recognizing the true value of a gem..."

It was precisely because of Sixi Niang's 'repentant' attitude and her softened words that Da Sun Shi and Liu Shi's anger gradually subsided.

The other villagers who were watching also changed their attitude. Initially, they mocked, condemned, and poured cold water on the situation. Eventually, they became indifferent and just watched the show. Finally, some of them softened and began to plead for leniency for Sixi's mother on behalf of the second son's family and the Yang family.

Da Sun and Liu also lost interest in continuing their condemnation and yin-yang discussions. Da Sun opened the gate to the second room's courtyard and went inside to continue helping Cao Ba Mei manage the courtyard.

Feeling bored, Liu turned around and went to the Luo family to report the 'battle situation' to Yang Ruoqing...

"Although everyone with eyes can see that that shrew's tears were crocodile tears, and she was forced to give in and say nice things... but watching it today, I really enjoyed it immensely!" Liu slapped her thigh and talked to Yang Ruoqing with great enthusiasm.

"What I say goes, and that woman didn't dare to say a word against me. Hehe, I'm so happy, I've finally gotten my revenge!"

Yang Ruoqing found it very amusing to see Liu Shi acting like a child.

"So, when reasoning fails, you can only resort to slapping," Yang Ruoqing said.

Liu nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Qing'er, do you think Yongjin and Ba Mei will come back after hearing about what happened in the village?" Liu asked again.

"I think... they definitely won't come back at first. They need to hold back for a while and see how sincere the other family is," Yang Ruoqing said.

It's impossible for Si Xi's mother to cry a few words and shed a few tears, and for her second brother and sister-in-law to compromise, make everything easy, and then run back to shake hands and make peace.

If that's the case, the cost of forgiveness is too low, and the consequence of such low cost is that it's easily forgotten and not cherished.

Liu was also thinking, but when Liu was thinking, his senses were typically all over the place.

"I also think that if Ba Mei and Yong Jin had any backbone at all, they wouldn't have rushed back immediately."

"At the very least... at the very least, Si Xi's mother should go to their second son's door and repent for three days and three nights!"

Three days and nights?

Yang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow. This is a bit of an exaggeration. Unless a robot can persevere, ordinary mortals usually can't do it. People need to rest, after all.

However, if they can spend one or two hours each day for three days to come to Xiao Erfang's house to express their sincerity, let Lao Yang's family see it, let the whole village see it, and see how much the groom's family values ​​and cherishes the bride's family... I believe that their sincerity can gradually wear down Lao Yang's family's anger, and their repentance can gradually move Lao Yang's family and make them reconsider this matter.

After all, the conflict between the two families wasn't about land or livestock—things like property—but rather the emotional entanglement between their younger generations.

The Yang family is hesitant to act rashly because they care about Xiu Hong... Therefore, the Yang family, especially the second branch, will eventually forgive and accept the Si Xi family again if Xiu Hong insists on being with Sixi.

Right now, it all depends on Sixi's mother's sincerity. The one who tied the knot must untie it; it was because this woman, lying inside, objected without any reason that things have turned out this way...

Whoever made the mess, should clean it up!

Qingshui Town, the backyard of Tianxiang Tower.

At this time, it was the busiest time for the restaurant. As winter approached and the weather grew colder, the reorganized restaurant mainly relied on providing a very down-to-earth fast food business model to local residents and vendors during the spring, summer and autumn seasons.

When winter came and the weather got cold, although fast food was still available, restaurants reduced their fast food offerings due to the cost of keeping it warm, only providing it at midday.

In the evening, the restaurant only kept two windows open to sell fast food, mainly stir-fried dishes.

For stir-fries, they've introduced steaming hot mini pots.

These small pots are perfect for three or four people. The bottom is filled with side dishes like bean curd sheets, bean sprouts, lettuce, cabbage, and tofu, while the top is filled with beef and mutton.

Spicy and fragrant, three or four people share a hot pot, order a couple of jugs of wine, and a plate of salty peanuts. Eating, drinking, and chatting warmly is incredibly pleasant.

Yang Yongjin was busy in the lobby, while Cao Bamei and her two daughters, Xiuxiu and Xiuhong, were helping to wash dishes in the backyard.

Lanterns hung brightly in the courtyard outside the kitchen, where the mother and her two children were washing dishes in hot water.

Although Cao Bamei and Xiuxiu were casually chatting about everyday things, their eyes, or rather, their peripheral vision, never dared to leave Xiuhong's body from beginning to end.

Why?

I'm afraid she'll find a chance to sneak away!

These past two days, I don't know if this girl knows that Sixi has secretly run away to find her, but she's clearly not in a good mood and has started to become restless.

She almost ran away yesterday. She made an excuse to go to the outhouse in the backyard, but she sneaked out through the dog hole. Luckily, Xiao Sanzi and Yongxiao were following behind and found her. Yongxiao grabbed his aunt's foot from behind, and Xiao Sanzi ran to the front yard to call for help. Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei rushed over and finally pulled Xiuhong back...

Yang Yongjin immediately climbed over the wall and saw Sixi standing outside the courtyard wall, looking at him with resentment.

Seeing Yang Yongjin emerge, Sixi was terrified, but refused to leave. He even knelt down before Yang Yongjin, begging him to grant his request.

Before he could finish a sentence, Yang Yongjin threw a shoe that had been taken off at him, hitting him on the head. Yang Yongjin threatened to report him to the authorities if he didn't leave, and only then did Sixi leave dejectedly...

After Yang Yongjin came down from the wall, he couldn't help but give Cao Bamei another scolding.

From then on, Cao Bamei's eyes were practically glued to Xiu Hong, and she didn't dare look away even while washing dishes.

As for Xiu Hong, she kept her head down the whole time, not speaking or communicating with them. She didn't respond when asked questions, and it seemed that nothing could elicit a reaction from her except for the appearance of Sixi.

Just then, people from Changping Village arrived, rushing in from the backyard of the restaurant.
