Chapter 2223 Enlightenment
Hearing that Yang Yongzhi also left two taels of silver to Chen Jinhong, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhao Liuer's face.
Yang Yongzhi didn't notice it, but it didn't escape Yang Ruoqing's eyes.
"Third brother, two taels of silver is not a small amount of money. Let's take your marriage as an example. Relatives and friends send you gifts, which is sixty or eighty cents." Yang Ruoqing said.
"This is a very high standard in our countryside. In addition, if ordinary villagers can get twenty or forty coins, it is very good."
"You just gave Chen Jinhong two taels of silver without giving up. What do you think? Could it be that you still can't let go of her?"
In front of Zhao Liu'er, Yang Ruoqing directly asked what Zhao Liu'er wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
Zhao Liuer pretended to go back to the washstand to twist the handkerchief, but her ears were raised high, obviously waiting for Yang Yongzhi's reply.
When Yang Yongzhi heard Yang Ruoqing ask this question, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Liuer.
Then, he quickly shook his head, "No, I haven't been able to let her go. Ever since she did that kind of thing, I have completely lost my heart towards her."
"Since you feel so cold, then third brother, why do you still throw so much money to her?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Yang Yongzhi said: "Now that I'm married again and have a job in a restaurant, I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"I can't give Chen Jinhong anything else she wants. I can only give her a little help in the form of money."
"After all, she is Hong'er's mother, and she is not involved in childbirth. We can't watch her starve to death..." he said.
Yang Ruoqing secretly shook her head at his words.
"To put it bluntly, two taels of silver is a big sum for you, Third Brother, right?" Yang Ruoqing continued.
"This time you got married, you probably spent all your savings in the county over the past six months. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and you still have to spend money."
"Besides, when you opened a carpentry shop in the county town, you borrowed twenty taels of silver from your second brother and you haven't paid it back yet."
"Twenty taels of silver, it only cost fifteen or six taels to open the shop. The remaining few taels of silver were finally given to Chen Jinhong."
"Third brother, the money you spent on Chen Jinhong has seriously exceeded your load,"
"You never owe her anything. She owes you. She doesn't give birth, so what?"
"She is an adult and should have the awareness to support herself."
"Just because you divorced her, do you still have to bear her lifelong expenses for food and clothing?"
"There is no such truth!"
"Moreover, now that Liu'er has entered the door, she will be your wife. In the future, you will have children, raise children, build a house, and support my grandparents and aunt..."
"Unless Third Brother, you are rich, otherwise, if you insist on forcing yourself to feel guilty and then have to bear the burden of Chen Jinhong for the rest of his life, then you have bad intentions."
"I don't know what Liu'er is thinking. Anyway, if it were me, I would never tolerate this!" Yang Ruoqing finally said.
These words were not ambiguous at all, they hit the nail on the head, just like a hammer, hitting Yang Yongzhi hard on the heart one after another.
Yang Yongzhi had a look of astonishment on his face. He stopped defending and lowered his head.
Over there at the washstand, Zhao Liuer looked at Yang Ruoqing with a grateful expression.
With a slight murmur at the corner of her lips, Qing'er is such a good sister-in-law. She expressed all the thoughts of her new sister-in-law who just came into the house.
Zhao Liuer was extremely grateful, and her eyes immediately fell on Yang Yongzhi.
"Brother Yongzhi, if you really can't let go of Sister Jin Hong, you should take her back. We will be equals and take care of this family together," Zhao Liu'er said.
These words shocked Yang Ruoqing and Yang Yongzhi at the same time.
Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced at Zhao Liu'er, about to scold her for saying such stupid things.
When Chen Jinhong comes in, will you and Zhao Liuer have a good life?
Yang Ruoqing understood instantly when she saw Zhao Liuer's eyes.
Liu Er did this on purpose. This move was called retreating in order to advance.
In order to cooperate with Zhao Liu'er, Yang Ruoqing also sighed and said: "Hey, it's rare for Liu'er to be so generous. Third brother, please think about it. Instead of sending money out continuously and running in both directions, it's better to bring people back."
Yang Yongzhi's brows knitted together tightly.
"You two, please stop singing together. It is absolutely impossible for Chen Jinhong and I to get back together," he said.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Liu'er at the washstand, "I, Yang Yongzhi, am just an ordinary, simple man from a farmer's family. I don't have that ability, nor am I that greedy."
"I am content with a wife, a brood of children, and a hot bed."
"Two taels of silver, I'll just give you this one time. From now on, Chen Jinhong and I will never interact with each other. We will be strangers again when we meet again."
"Let's stop talking about this matter here. It's getting late, Qing'er. Third brother will send you back to rest." Yang Yongzhi stood up and got off the heating barrel.
Yang Ruoqing and Zhao Liu'er both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other and Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"Third brother, if you really don't need to send me away, just stay and accompany my third sister-in-law." She said.
Zhao Liuer looked at the night outside the window and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Just let your third brother send you off. It's pitch dark. We don't trust you as a woman..."
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "It will be dawn in a few hours in the day. Before dawn, you should hurry up and have a wedding ceremony. Don't delay the beautiful scenery of Liangcheng for me!"
Zhao Liu'er and Yang Yongzhi made a big fuss at the same time, but Yang Ruoqing took advantage of this moment to say goodbye to them, turned around and ran out of the house like a gust of wind.
By the time Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer chased her out, she had already disappeared.
"Qing'er, how come you run so fast? Faster than a rabbit!" Zhao Liu'er looked surprised.
Yang Yongzhi said: "This girl of mine has some skills. Tang Yazi taught her. She should be fine if she goes back alone."
Zhao Liuer nodded.
Outside the house, the north wind is getting stronger and stronger. At this time, it is March 9th, when you have to shrink your hands when getting dressed.
Especially after staying in the house all the time, when this happened, I really couldn't stand it. Zhao Liu'er couldn't help but chatting lightly with his teeth.
Yang Yongzhi said: "Let's go back to the house and rest."
"Um!"
Zhao Liuer nodded, turned around and followed Yang Yongzhi back to the house.
After returning to the house and closing the door, Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
In the end, it was Zhao Liuer who took the lead to break the embarrassment, "Well, brother Yongzhi, I will wash your feet."
Sitting on the stool, looking at Zhao Liu'er squatting on the ground in front of him, immersed in washing his feet, Yang Yongzhi felt indescribable shock and happiness.
