Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 12096

"It seems there's been no movement," Mrs. Tan said, recalling the events.

"He's probably just lazing in bed, sleeping too soundly to bother with us." Old Yang patted Tan's hand. "Alright, alright, don't be so suspicious. Get some rest, and when you get to your daughter's place, you'll need to perk up and help play with your grandchildren!"

Mrs. Tan liked to hear this, so she stopped and sat back down, intending to take a nap before continuing.

Just then, Yang Huaming's voice came from the front.

"Dad, Mom, if you're sleepy, just take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get to Mei'er's place."

"I understand. Just focus on getting your carriage going," Mrs. Tan replied.

The carriage smoothly left the village and onto the bluestone-paved official road leading to Qingshui Town in front of the third house.

The wooden wheels of the carriage creaked and groaned as they rolled over the stone pavement, mingling with the clatter of the horses' hooves against the ground...

In a miraculous turn of events, a piece of music was created that was very helpful for sleep. Sure enough, Old Yang and Mrs. Tan soon became drowsy.

However, since I was dozing off while sitting, it was definitely not as effective as lying flat on the bed, so my sleep was rather light and I was in a daze.

However, in this daze, the carriage traveled forward for a while before suddenly coming to a slow stop.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong? Why did you stop?" Madam Tan opened her eyes a crack, her tone tinged with wariness.

"Mom, I can't hold it in anymore. I'll just pull over to the side of the road and relieve myself. Please don't open your eyes to look!"

"You little bastard, I don't care to look at your worthless thing!" Tan was almost laughing in anger at Yang Huaming's words.

You little brat, what haven't I seen, the thing that crawled out of my guts?

Pshaw, who cares to look? It's not like I've got my head stuck in a door.

Soon, Yang Huaming returned, and the carriage swayed.

"You little brat, why are you making such a racket!"

"Hehe, Mom, you can go back to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Got it, let's go!"

"okay!"

And so, the carriage continued on its way, heading towards Qingshui Town.

Whether it was Tan's imagination or not, she felt that the sound of the cart wheels rolling over the stone road was a bit louder than before, creaking and groaning.

You little brat, everyone else feels light after pulling, but you're even heavier after pulling the car body, what a weird thing!

……

Upon hearing that the Luo family was going on a family trip the next day, people from the Yang family, the Sun family, and many other families in the village came to visit the Luo family and inquire about their plans.

On the one hand, everyone was expressing their interest in and support for the Luo family's trip, and on the other hand, they were showing their concern for the Luo family.

Sun Shi, Da Sun Shi, Bao Suyun, and several others surrounded Wang Cuilian, giving her all sorts of instructions.

For example, how many clothes and shoes should I bring? What's the climate like in Jiuhua County?

Madam Sun looked on with envy, smacking her lips and saying, "Brother Blacksmith is so lucky! The children have arranged their work to take him on a trip to enjoy the scenery, just to help him recover!"

"Looking around the surrounding villages, I doubt there are many so-called filial sons and virtuous grandsons who could do something like this!"

Bao Suyun said, "That's right. Children have their own things to do, and it's truly rare for them to put aside their own affairs for their elders."

Mrs. Sun nodded with a look of satisfaction.

When everyone praised Tang Ya Zi and Qing Er, especially when they praised Qing Er, Sun Shi felt proud.

Because this daughter was raised by her, there's a saying among farming families: "Marrying off a daughter means losing your mother's family in return!"

It means that you can tell from your daughter's character how she was raised by her mother. A well-mannered, virtuous, and sensible daughter-in-law is praised by everyone.

Well, these are all Sun's personal thoughts. She spent her whole life as a daughter-in-law and wife, always bearing the words "virtuous and sensible" on her head like a huge archway, which weighed on her for her entire life, and she was still happy with it.

Wang Cuilian's praise and envy of everyone present were also incredibly emotionally resonant.

As for the praise of Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, Wang Cuilian had no objection whatsoever.

“My Qing’er and Tang Ya’er are exceptionally filial children. Their uncle and I have seen it all and remember it in our hearts.”

“Sister-in-law Cuilian, don’t say that. It’s only right that the children are filial to their elders.” Sun gently placed her hand on Wang Cuilian’s arm.

Wang Cuilian took Sun's hand and asked, "Qing'er's mother, are you really not going out for a stroll with us?"

Yang Ruoqing initially invited Yang Huazhong and Madam Sun to this trip to Jiuhua County, because she felt that even if the two of them went together, Xiaohua and He Lian'er could manage on their own if they stayed at home.

Xiaohua brought a maid and a servant back to the village to help her take care of Fuwa and Jun'er.

If all else fails, we can always temporarily transfer people from the Luo family.

However, both Yang Huazhong and Madam Sun declined Yang Ruoqing's invitation.

The reason for the refusal was exactly what Yang Ruoqing had expected.

Although Xiao Hua has two helpers, He Lian'er is not very far along in her pregnancy and is not clumsy, so she can do many things by herself.

Even Xiao Hua and He Lian'er were urging Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi to go out with their sister and brother-in-law.

But Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi were still determined not to go.

The reason was that they wanted to stay at home and spend more time with their three grandchildren, Fuwa, Jun'er, and Niuniu. In addition, He Lian'er was pregnant, and the reason why Sun Shi insisted on keeping her at home was so that she could prepare more delicious food and drinks for her unborn grandson.

This trip will take at least half a month, and Sun definitely doesn't want to go.

Therefore, Yang Ruoqing understood Sun's choice, but she still joked: "Look, the choice at the crucial moment betrays your heart. In the end, your daughter-in-law and your precious grandson are more important!"

Jokes aside, we should respect the choices of our elders.

"By the way, why haven't I seen her fourth aunt today?" Madam Sun suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation, looking around. "Usually, that girl comes here eight or ten times a day, but I haven't even seen her for the first time today!"

After Sun's interruption and reminder, the other women present also realized that it was indeed strange that Liu hadn't arrived at this time. "Perhaps she's gone to gossip elsewhere in the village; she can't be idle any longer," Sun said.

Everyone laughed, saying that was probably true.

At that moment, Liu, whom they were talking about, suddenly sneezed.

"Ah!"

This loud sneeze, like a thunderclap, woke up Old Yang and Tan Shi in the carriage behind them.

"What the hell?" Tan suddenly flung open the carriage curtain.

Just then, Liu realized something was wrong after sneezing, and turned to look at the carriage behind her, covering her mouth and nose.

And just then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's eyes met.

Ms. Tan was stunned for a moment, her facial expression instantly freezing, as if she had seen a ghost.

Liu was a little embarrassed and also a little guilty.

"Hey, what a coincidence... I was just strolling around town too..."

"fart!"

When Tan came to her senses, she let out a loud shout. Countless streams of air rushed and surged into her throat from her chest. Countless curses were already on the tip of her tongue, all squeezed together and vying to burst out. As a result, she stuttered and made indistinct sounds.

The unusual situation here also alerted Old Yang, who was in the carriage.

The old man peeked out and was clearly surprised to see Liu sitting next to Yang Huaming.

"Fourth brother's wife, when did you get up here?" the old man asked.

Although his tone was surprised, there was no anger.

Liu chuckled at Old Yang, "Dad, I set off before you, but I got tired halfway there and happened to run into you, so Fourth Brother gave me a ride."

"You're talking nonsense! You're spewing filth! Do you think we're fools?!"

At this moment, having completed the language restructuring function, Tan immediately launched into a violent language output mode towards Liu.

"And fourth brother, you little bastard, you promised to take us to town, but you sneak up here and disgust us!"

"Quick, stop the car, stop the car, kick this thing off!"

Yang Huaming was originally forcing himself to drive the train with a stiff back, not wanting to get involved in this matter. He just wanted to "act first and report later". Anyway, since they were already here, no matter how much they threw a tantrum, it wouldn't make a difference.

It was just a matter of cursing a few more times, but not only did Madam Tan curse Liu for acting first and reporting later, she was now even banging on the carriage, demanding that he stop the car and kick people out.

"Old woman, that's enough, we're already here." Old Yang knew he had gone a bit too far, so he quickly tried to comfort Tan.

"What do you mean 'since we're already here'? Where are you taking her? I don't want to take her to my daughter's place! If you keep pretending to be a good person, I'll curse you too!" Tan shouted at Old Yang, and this indiscriminate attack made Old Yang lose face.

Liu was very dissatisfied. She put away her smile and said to Tan, "My legs are my own, the world is vast, I can go wherever I want, and nobody can stop me!"

She patted the carriage beneath her, mimicking Madam Tan's gesture: "Let me remind you again, this carriage is the property of our fourth branch of the family. It's my carriage, so you're the one who should get off!"

"It's my son's carriage, so I own a share!" Madam Tan boasted shamelessly.

Liu laughed, "Then ask your son who chased whom!"

"Fourth brother, you little bastard, say something! Are you mute?!" Madam Tan continued to pound on the carriage and shout.

Now, Yang Huaming, who was driving the carriage ahead and trying to stay out of it, could no longer avoid it. He stopped the carriage in the middle of the road, turned his head and glared at Liu Shi beside him, warning her with his eyes not to make a sound and not to provoke the old lady any further.

Liu shut up reluctantly, shrugged, and turned away from Tan, whose face was contorted with rage.

Yang Huaming turned around and looked at Tan Shi again.

"Mother, stop making a fuss. We're already on the edge of town. People coming and going will laugh at us!" Yang Huaming said calmly at first.

Tan looked around and indeed, at this time of day, there were more people on the street.

Most of those entering and leaving the town's south gate were villagers from the surrounding villages heading towards Mianniu Mountain. Some were unfamiliar faces, while others were familiar, and their presence in horse-drawn carriages made them even more eye-catching.

Tan's emotions calmed down a bit; at least she stopped roaring with fury.

However, the assertiveness in his tone remained evident.

"Fourth brother, I don't care when this thing got promoted, tell her to get out of here!" Madam Tan continued, "If you tell her to get out of here now, I'll pretend nothing happened and won't make things difficult for you. But if you dare to disobey and go against me, you'll regret it!"

"Hey you~" Just as Liu was about to speak, Yang Huaming grabbed her arm.

Yang Huaming shook his head at Liu, signaling her not to say anything and to let him do the talking.

For the first time, Liu felt protected by this man, and it felt wonderful! It was even better than eating at three different restaurants in one go!
Yang Huaming had no time to care about Liu's feelings. He turned around and looked at Tan calmly.

"Mother, I just want to ask, why are you so insistent that I call her down?"

"No reason, it's just that when I go out to visit relatives, having her around makes me feel bad. Everything seems wrong to me, and nothing I do goes right!"

“Mother, Mei’er is your daughter, and I won’t stop you from visiting relatives. But Mei’er is also my sister-in-law, and she’s a relative to our fourth branch of the family. We visit each other for New Year’s greetings and when we have babies. You visit your relatives, and we visit ours. We’ll keep to ourselves. Why do you have to keep an eye on her? Can’t we have a discussion and visit relatives together in a peaceful manner?”

Yang Huaming spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone suggesting discussion, but every word was firm and clear, demonstrating his firm stance.

Old Yang, standing to the side, agreed, nodding repeatedly. "I agree with Fourth Brother's statement. Old woman, let it go. We're already here, let's not make things unpleasant and put Mei'er in a difficult position!"

Tan slapped away Old Yang's hand, which was reaching out to tug at her sleeve, and scolded him in an unfriendly tone: "You old geezer, you're such a fickle person! A few words from this brat and you've been completely swayed to their side!"

"You... I'm not taking sides, I'm just saying the truth. It's just visiting relatives, what's with all the restrictions?" Old Yang spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

These days, he doesn't know how it would be in other people's homes, but in the Yang family, especially when one side is Tan, the risks for the person mediating a fight are extremely high! Sigh! What a tragedy!
Madam Tan snorted coldly and said, "I can't control whether Madam Liu goes to visit other relatives, but I can make the decision about whether she goes to Mei'er's place! Because she's my daughter!"

Tan's words angered Liu once again. Liu moved her body and subconsciously wanted to retaliate, but was stopped by Yang Huaming again.

Yang Huaming frowned and asked Tan Shi with a more serious tone, "Mother, don't forget, whether it's Mei'er and Xu Yuanming getting married, Mei'er giving birth to her third child, or Mei'er's three children having their full-month celebration and first birthday celebration, our fourth branch of the family congratulated them and gave them gifts without missing a single one!"

"Back then, when we went to give gifts, you didn't say that at all. You were all smiles, wishing that everyone in the world would give gifts to support Mei'er."
