Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11925

The old man couldn't quite put his finger on what to call this feeling, but he just felt that with so many things to do at home in the twelfth lunar month, he not only couldn't stay home to help, but he also had to go out and do other things.

This is outrageous, but the old man has no other choice right now. His only sister has contracted a strange illness, and the old man can't put his mind at ease.

Before leaving, Luo Fengtang returned to his dormitory to change his clothes before going to Zhoujia Village. Yang Ruoqing took out a bundle and handed it to Luo Fengtang.

"Here are two pieces of cloth and a red envelope. Please give these to your aunt!"

Luo Fengtang glanced at the bundle, "Uncle has already brought a lot, shall we just skip this?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "This is our token of appreciation. Since you've already gone, take it with you. Give her the red envelope and let her buy whatever she wants."

Luo Fengtang grasped Yang Ruoqing's hand: "Repay evil with kindness... Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "It's just to make Uncle happy. It's only a few taels of silver, nothing to worry about."

……

By evening, neither Luo Fengtang nor the blacksmith Luo had returned.

No news was sent back.

"Could it be that the Zhou family invited them to stay for dinner?" Wang Cuilian looked around the courtyard gate several times before returning to the main room and sharing this guess with Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing said, "It shouldn't be. Tang Yazi told me before she left that today is Laba Festival and there will be people having dinner at home tonight, so she will definitely come back."

Tonight, all the relatives and friends who came to help the Luo family with porridge during the day are coming to our house for dinner. Rong Gu, Ling Lan, and Shao Yao are currently preparing the dinner in the kitchen in the backyard!
Therefore, not only Luo Fengtang, but even Luo the blacksmith is unlikely to eat dinner outside.

"Oh my god, does that mean something's happened to the Zhou family?" Wang Cuilian immediately became worried.

Yang Ruoqing also had this concern and was just about to send a comrade from Ping'an District to Zhoujia Village when a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old hurriedly ran over from the other side of the road.

He was quite good-looking, with a handsome appearance, and his features gave Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian a sense of familiarity.

"Auntie, sister, may I ask if this is Changping Village?"

"Yes, who are you looking for, child?"

"I need to see the Luo family; it's urgent."

"Young man, who are you?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"My name is Zhou Quan, and I work at the Zhou family's chicken farm. My boss sent me here to deliver a message to the Luo family..."

After a while.

The young man named Zhou Quan returned with the news that Luo Da'e had fallen ill again. Fortunately, Luo the blacksmith and Luo Fengtang arrived just in time and together they took her to the county hospital.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come back tonight..." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Oh dear, Aunt Da'e, this illness is likely to be very serious!" Wang Cuilian sighed.

Now that Yang Ruoqing knows where Luo Fengtang and the others have gone, she feels at ease, at least knowing that something really has happened.

As for Luo Da'e's illness... this is not something that Yang Ruoqing can do by worrying at home. It mainly depends on the doctor's skill level; it's something the doctor has to worry about.

"Auntie, don't you think that young man named Zhou Quan who came to deliver the message earlier looks familiar?"

"Yes, when I first saw him, I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before..." Wang Cuilian recalled, "Oh right, he said he was a worker at the Zhou family's chicken farm. We must have seen him by chance when we visited the Zhou family before?"

Yang Ruoqing recalled for a moment, "That's possible, but... wait, I remember now!"

"What do you remember?" Wang Cuilian asked.

Yang Ruoqing looked around and made sure that all the guests were in the dining room in the backyard and that no one was coming this way. She pulled Wang Cuilian aside and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Oh my god, no way? Good heavens!"

Wang Cuilian was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

“It must be them, their eyebrows and facial features are so similar!” Yang Ruoqing said.

Wang Cuilian also recalled the young man from earlier in her mind. The more she recalled, the more the face in her memory overlapped perfectly with the face of this young man named Zhou Quan...

"I never imagined that Zhou Xia's son would grow up so much..." Yang Ruoqing murmured.

"Qing'er, who is the father of that child?"

"Wang Fu".

"Which Wangfu?" Wang Cuilian couldn't react for a moment.

Yang Ruoqing said, "Auntie, who else could it be? It must be Wangfu from our village!"

"My God!" Wang Cuilian was so shocked she almost lost her balance.

Wangfu from Changping Village was about the same age as Luo the blacksmith. Years ago, he had a son named Daping, who was struck and killed by lightning during a rainstorm on the afternoon of the Ghost Festival.

After Da Ping died, he left behind a wife whose name was also Xiao Qin.

Xiaoqin also gave birth to two daughters for Daping, but Wangfu and his wife had designs on these three women.

The mother-in-law wanted to sell Xiaoqin to another family for a ghost marriage to make money, but Wangfu was even worse. His lecherous father-in-law stared at his daughter-in-law's body every day, plotting all sorts of filthy things...

Later, many things happened, and with Yang Ruoqing's help, Xiaoqin and her two children found a good home.

Xiaoqin married Damo, and Damo accepted Xiaoqin's two daughters. Xiaoqin was also very capable and gave birth to a son for Damo. The family of five lived happily together.

Wangfu and his wife, on the other hand, made a complete mess of their lives.

Wang Fu, in particular, committed numerous evil deeds. He not only harmed Yang Ruolan but also, through a series of coincidences, slept with Zhou Xia, who had also committed many evil deeds.

Zhou Xia is also pregnant with Wang Fu's child...

Tell me, isn't this plot absurd? Mind-bending? Two completely unrelated people, a man and a woman, actually underwent genetic recombination, creating a person like Zhou Quan in this world.

In the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed, and Zhou Quan has grown into a young man.

His eyebrows, eyes, and facial features all resemble Zhou Xia's, and Zhou Xia herself is quite beautiful, which is why Zhou Quan looks so handsome...

"Back then, wasn't it said that your Aunt Da'e buried the child that Zhou Xia was carrying after it was born?" Wang Cuilian asked quietly.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "It was Zhou Xia's idea to bury it."

"Perhaps after Aunt Da'e and Sister-in-law Xiao Huan took the baby away, they couldn't bear it, so they gave the child away."

Xiao Huan later mentioned this to Yang Ruoqing in private. The family that gave the child away didn't have any children themselves, and they were also from Zhoujia Village. Zhou Quan had never known his own background. He only knew that his parents had died of illness when he was a few years old. Then, his uncle Zhou Wang in the village treated him well, and his grandmother Luo Da'e was also very kind, often bringing him food.

Later, his uncle Zhou Wang took him to a chicken farm and had him learn how to raise chickens and ducks, with room and board provided...

"I guess your Aunt Da'e and the others aren't planning to tell Zhou Quan about his background!" Wang Cuilian sighed and turned to walk back.

Yang Ruoqing reached out to help Wang Cuilian walk back together, saying, "There's no need to say anything."

"Why? Because your Aunt Da'e and the others are Zhou Quan's relatives..."

"Auntie, do you think Zhou Quan really wants a biological father like Wang Fu?"

"what……"

"Besides, he wasn't separated from his mother; she ordered him to be buried right after he was born!"

"Forehead……"

Well, Wang Cuilian could no longer maintain the thought that had just popped into her head. "Now that you mention it, it's actually better not to say anything. Saying it would only hurt Zhou Quan!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "That's right. At least in Zhou Quan's current memory, his parents were good to him. Although they passed away early, at least he lived a few years of peaceful life under their care."

"And now, he's met Zhou Wang's family, this 'kind employer,' so you see, when he came over to deliver messages, he was very proper and energetic, he looked like a hardworking kid."

Zhou Xia's good looks are reflected in Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan has not yet shown any of the scheming or negative traits associated with Zhou Xia and Wang Fu.

Perhaps it was because they hadn't had much contact with each other, but anyway, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian had a pretty good first impression of Zhou Quan.

However, even if he is good, I won't have much contact with him. I only sighed a few times because he is the son of an old friend.

“We absolutely mustn’t let Wangfu know about this. If that old scoundrel finds out that he still has a son, he’ll probably cause a huge mess!” Yang Ruoqing reminded Wang Cuilian again.

Wang Cuilian gently patted Yang Ruoqing's hand: "Don't worry, I'm not that senile. I won't say these things outside!"

"Of course I know Auntie doesn't know how, I was just casually reminding her." Yang Ruoqing smiled. "Let's go eat in the backyard, let's not wait for Uncle and Tang Yazi."

Since it was Luo Da'e who fell ill, they escorted her to the county clinic, and she certainly won't be back tonight.

"Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with your aunt. During this time she's been sick, the men of our Luo family have suffered the most..."

Well, Wang Cuilian's tone already showed a hint of dissatisfaction with Luo Da'e.

Yang Ruoqing offered no comfort, for she felt even more resentful.

But she wouldn't show it, because showing it would hurt Luo the blacksmith. But Wang Cuilian could show it, because Wang Cuilian and Luo the blacksmith were husband and wife.

……

In the backyard of the Luo family, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming were all there. In addition to the large round table in the dining room being filled with food, there was also a square table next to it.

The square table is for the children, while the large round table is for the adults. The dishes on both sides are similar, but the children's table will have two extra dishes specially made for the children.

For example: shrimp and egg soup, mango pomelo sago with cheese steamed buns, etc.

So, Liu, who was sitting at the adults' table, got really hungry. She pretended to be wandering around the square table with her grandson Liangliang, but her eyes kept glancing at the mango pomelo sago cheese buns on the table.

Every now and then, Sanwu would ask Liangliang, "Grandson, do you want to eat that steamed bun? It looks so delicious!"

Liangliang's interests didn't lie with that steamed bun, so he shook his head every time he was asked.

Liu was unwilling to give up, and Liangliang wouldn't budge. As an elder among elders, she couldn't just reach out and take things from the children's table.

So she could only continue to coax Liangliang with words, "It looks delicious, why don't you get one for me? You can take a couple of bites? If you don't like it, we won't eat it then, right?"

As she spoke, Liu slowly reached out her hand, and Liangliang's temper flared up.

He slapped Liu's arm hard, crying and struggling to stop Liu from holding him, "I want my mother, my mother!"

Faced with Liangliang's sudden outburst of temper, Liu panicked and quickly withdrew her hand, picked up her grandson, and tried to soothe him.

Liangliang is now the apple of the fourth family's eye. He is a very clever and lively child.

When he was just a few months old, Liu Jinchuan tied him to her back and accompanied Liu Jinchuan and Kang Xiaozi to and from the market in town, regardless of the weather.

Everyone in the Yang family has watched Liangliang grow up like this, and they all feel sorry for him.

In addition, Kang was born with a cleft lip, which made him look bad and he was often looked down upon. So everyone transferred all the pity they felt for Kang to Liangliang.

So over time, Liangliang not only became the darling of the fourth branch of the family, doted on by his three aunts, but also spoiled by his uncles Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yongqing within the Yang family.

Jiang Guiling, from the fifth branch of the family, had strong opinions about this, because her son, Yuanyuan, was not as favored as Liangliang in the Yang family.

When Jiang Guiling complained to her husband Da Bao, Da Bao could only comfort her.

The reason given for comforting him was that Kang Xiaozi and Liangliang were both legitimate members of the Yang family, while he himself was brought over by his mother, Bao Suyun.

Although his father, Yang Huazhou, treated him like his own son, that was only within the fifth branch of the family. Within the entire Yang family, the difference in their closeness was quite obvious.

So when Liangliang started throwing a tantrum in the cafeteria, it immediately drew the attention of most people.

Liu Jinchuan was helping Ronggu and the others in the kitchen next door. She was a diligent person, and even when she came over for dinner, she couldn't stay idle and had to find something to do.

So when Liu Jinchuan heard Liangliang crying and rushed to the canteen, she was still wearing an apron.

"What's wrong, Liangliang? Let Grandma play with you! Be a good girl, okay?" Liu Jinchuan coaxed, her hands still covered in oil.

Liangliang snuggled into Liu Jinchuan's arms, looking unwilling, and said, "I don't want to eat the mango pomelo sago bun, but Grandma insists I eat it!"

amount……

Liu Jinchuan was a little embarrassed.

As the daughter-in-law, she understood her mother-in-law's intentions all too well. Wanting the child to eat was just a pretext; she probably just wanted something to eat herself.

"Grandma is just worried about you. If you don't want to eat, then you don't have to. No one is forcing you, but don't cry or make a fuss."

"Look at the other older boys and girls, they're not crying or making a fuss, they're all so well-behaved, right?"

"Our Liangliang is such a good boy! Come here, Liangliang, let Uncle hold you and play with you!"

Yang Yongqing walked over, clapped his hands twice, and took Liangliang from him.

Kang Xiaozi came over and tried to take Liangliang from Yang Yongqing's arms, "He hasn't showered or changed his clothes today, he's filthy, don't carry him..."
