Upon hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, the woman's face suddenly turned pale.

Sadness, despair, worry and hesitation about the future are all piled on his face.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressed, weighing on the hearts of the two people, making them a little breathless.

"The drunkard is not only ambitious, but several other children have also been beaten and scolded by him." The woman whispered.

"Just because Dazhi has been sick these days, I secretly spent more than ten cents to buy him some medicine,"

"The drunkard found out and said that I wasted the money he spent on buying wine, so he became even more dissatisfied with his ambition..." The woman murmured, with a look of panic on her face.

Yang Ruoqing said: "That drunkard of yours is just a scumbag."

"For a man like this, if you guys follow him, you are destined to have a bad life," she said.

The woman smiled bitterly, "If you don't live a good life, what can you do? If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. This is fate!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "You never thought about getting rid of him and living with the children by yourself?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just guard a little land, raise some chickens, ducks, and pigs, and wait for a few years until the children grow up? How about enduring humiliation and living an ignoble existence like this?" she asked.

The woman raised her head and looked at Yang Ruoqing.

There was a faint light in his eyes, but he immediately shook his head.

"If you don't even have enough to eat, how can you have the money to go back to your hometown and buy some land?" she said.

"The drunkard's family originally had a farm, but he drank too much and gambled. He made his wife mad and broke up with his two previous wives. In the end, he couldn't survive, so he sold the farm and bought me and a small fishing boat."

"The awning boat you saw earlier is all our belongings," she said.

Yang Ruoqing was silent.

Sponsoring this woman a sum of money and letting her go back to her hometown to buy some land or something is just a matter of a snap for me.

But if you don't get rid of the alcoholic, nothing will work.

It is estimated that the money has been squandered by drunkards before the land was purchased.

It would be impossible to persuade this woman to make peace with the drunkard.

On the one hand, it’s the woman’s own temperament, which is soft,

Secondly, the drunkard is the father of several children after all. If he wants to go over and cause harassment, no one can say anything.

Furthermore, if I can help this woman this time, I can't protect her every time, right?

Hey, it really fits that sentence, the road is chosen by oneself, and the life is lived by oneself.

Only you know the bitterness, spicyness, sourness and sweetness best.

While the two were talking, the baby in the woman's arms had fallen asleep comfortably.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the two sleeping children and said to the woman: "It's already afternoon, and it's been a while since you came out. What are you going to do next?"

Hearing this, the woman also turned to look at the sky outside the window, "The sun is going to set. I've been out for so long, and the children on the boat must have messed up their nests..."

There is also a drunkard who was kicked there by Miss Yang earlier and fainted on the shore in pain.

I didn't pay attention to him either, I guess this anger will not dissipate for a while.

This time, there will inevitably be another quarrel and fight, what should we do?

The woman looked at the two sleeping children and hesitated, not knowing how to speak to Yang Ruoqing.

As if she could see through her thoughts, Yang Ruoqing took the initiative and said, "The Dazhi fever hasn't gone away yet, and the little one has just fallen asleep. If you can trust me, just put the child here first."

"You go back first and settle down the children at home before coming back." Yang Ruoqing said.

The woman glanced at the two children, hesitated again, and then nodded.

Sure enough, he came over and put the younger child under the quilt.

Yang Ruoqing looked at her, a little surprised.

"Are you serious about letting this go? Aren't you afraid that I will be a bad person and take your two sons away together?" she asked again.

"Although this is the first time we have met, I know you, Miss Yang, are not bad people!" the woman said.

"Miss Yang, you wanted to have great ambitions before because your great ambitions looked like your lost son."

"If it hadn't been for you, Miss Yang, Dazhi would have fallen into the river right now, and his fate would have been worse."

"You are his lifesaver. You also helped him reduce his fever and fed him medicine. Now, I have to bother Miss Yang. Please help me take care of the two children. I'll go and see what's going on." The woman looked sincere.

The way.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "You go ahead, I'll take care of it for you first."

In case the drunkard wanted to beat the woman again, Zuo Junmo's friend, Li Zheng from Hekou Village, volunteered to accompany the woman back.

Here, Yang Ruoqing was guarding the two sleeping children by the bedside, her eyes mainly lingering on Dazhi's face, full of emotions.

Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo came in together.

Seeing that both children were sleeping soundly, the sound of their footsteps and voices were kept to a minimum.

"Qing'er, what are you going to do next?" Luo Fengtang asked.

"Dazhi is not our Chen'er, so can we consider going back?" he asked again.

Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Fengtang, with some hesitation in her eyes.

"Tangyaozi, how about... we postpone our return for two days?" she asked tentatively.

Luo Fengtang was surprised, and then he glanced at Dazhi, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, "Are you worried about Dazhi?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded gently.

"This child is so pitiful."

"There are so many poor children in the world, but he has a face similar to our Chen'er,"

"I don't want to be soft-hearted, I can't even control it." She said softly.

She has been feeling guilty since she was separated from Chen'er.

I feel guilty that when I can accompany Chen'er, I am always busy. Sometimes I go out before dawn and go home after it is completely dark.

The two children were waiting. When they saw her coming back, they didn't mind the smell of her sweat and rushed into her arms.

Baby Luo has been domineering and delicate since he was a child, while Chen'er is gentle and good-tempered.

Just do whatever you want him to do.

Every time, baby Luo is first sucked and fed, while Chen'er waits aside.

After finally getting to know Chen'er, he was lying in her arms and giggling at her.

It was as if he was taking the initiative to tease her and make her happy.

Sometimes Baby Luo gets into a tantrum and keeps fussing for too long. By the time Baby Luo is finished, Chen'er becomes tired and falls asleep.

This kind of guilt has always existed in Yang Ruoqing's heart.

Until Chen'er was separated, this guilt not only did not fade with the passage of time, but became more intense.

Many times, she couldn't help but fantasize about what if Chen'er came back one day.

She must be a good mother, arrange everything, put down all social activities, stay at home with her for a month, and feel the long-lost family affection.

However, God is stingy with this opportunity.

At this moment, looking at the sleeping Dazhi, Yang Ruoqing felt a different kind of emotion rising and falling in her chest.
