"Your father-in-law is really full of tricks." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"However, if it works for your mother-in-law, no one will criticize it if it is used elsewhere!" she added.

Xiaoqin nodded, "During the few months he was in the quarry, I got along very well with my mother-in-law. I almost never blushed, let alone quarreled."

"During the day, I would go to school to cook and other things, while she would be at home taking care of the vegetable garden, clearing wasteland, and feeding pigs and chickens."

"When I come home in the afternoon, the yard will be clean and she is preparing to cook dinner again,"

"But as soon as my father-in-law came back, everything changed. My mother-in-law didn't like me anymore," Xiaoqin said.

"Then what are you going to do?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"As I said before, you and I are not just condemning your father-in-law, we have to find a way." She added.

Xiaoqin looked around and said to Yang Ruoqing in a low voice: "Qing'er, I don't dare to live at home. Can you think of a way to help me find a place to live?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Finding a place to stay temporarily is a trivial matter. Let's not talk about other places, just my yard and a bunch of guest rooms. I can allocate one to you at will."

"But the problem is, you have to make long-term plans. You can't just move into my house as soon as your father-in-law comes back!"

"Not to mention that your mother-in-law is not happy. Then it will be like last time, coming here two or three times a day to urge you to go back. Maybe the whole village will guess behind your back why you are doing this and what you are hiding from. Sometimes there are rumors.

That’s how it came out.”

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Xiaoqin's face fell.

"Yeah, it's not a long-term solution for me to hide in your house. What should I do?" Xiaoqin murmured.

She can almost be regarded as having no natal family.

Her parents died a long time ago, and she was raised in the care of her relatives. The relatives married her off and got a little dowry money, and they stopped moving around Xiaoqin's house a long time ago.

On the one hand, she doesn't have a deep relationship with Xiaoqin, and on the other hand, she can't handle an in-law like Wangfu.

Seeing Xiaoqin's helpless and helpless look, Yang Ruoqing couldn't bear it after all.

"I have thought of a good place for you to live, and I can also think of an upright reason for you that will not arouse the suspicion of the villagers." Yang Ruoqing said.

"But if your mother-in-law talks to you again and asks you to go back, you have to find a way to refuse on your own, because I can only help you here, and the rest is up to you."

Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly, "Where is it?"

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced at Mianniu Mountain behind the village: "There."

"School?" Xiaoqin asked with her eyes wide open in surprise.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing nodding, Xiaoqin was both surprised and a little worried: "Qing'er, that's the school, where the students study. I'm going to live there. Isn't that good?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "There is nothing worse than that place."

"You are going to live there. It just so happens that Mr. Han, who has been living in the school, is having a baby at home during this time. He has to leave early and come back late. I was thinking about finding someone to guard the school."

Xiaoqin nodded repeatedly: "I'll go, I'll go."

Yang Ruoqing added, "But the school is built halfway up the mountain. I originally thought I would find a man brave enough to guard it."

"If you go now, you won't be able to go to a woman's house. I will find another woman in the village to keep you company."

As for the school looking for a nursing home, when Li Xiuxin went to the school to make trouble last time, Lao Yangtou made this suggestion at that time.

At that time, Yang Ruoqing also felt it was necessary, but later other things happened and she put the matter aside.

"Qing'er, who are you planning to find?" Xiaoqin asked again.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and ask Aunt Dayun, Aunt Guihua and Yuzhi to see who can do it."

"But Xiaoqin, ask some of them to come over and watch the school. They can also keep you company at night. I have to pay them wages. And you..."

Before Yang Ruoqing could finish speaking, Xiaoqin shook her head like a rattle and interrupted Yang Ruoqing's words.

"Qing'er, I'm extremely grateful if you allow me to live here without charging me rent. I won't say anything else," she said.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "I won't give you the money for taking care of the school, but you deserve the money for cooking at the school. Let's give it to you."

Xiaoqin said nothing and looked at Yang Ruoqing gratefully.

"Qing'er, the great famine is coming soon, can our school continue to operate?" she asked again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded: "Unless there is a war and our place becomes a battlefield, otherwise, as long as I, Yang Ruoqing, are here, Haitang Academy will continue to operate."

"Even if we don't have enough food to eat outside, I will ensure that our students and gentlemen at Haitang Academy have food to eat!"

The anxiety in Xiaoqin's eyes completely disappeared.

"Qing'er, it's great to have you. Even if the famine comes, I won't be so afraid," she said.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently stroked Xiaoqin's hair, "All disasters will pass. If life does not go smoothly, grit your teeth and everything will be fine, no matter it is a famine or your family, believe in yourself."

…

After returning, Yang Ruoqing told Sun about this matter.

Sun said: "Wangfu, that old and dishonest man, makes it impossible for Xiaoqin to go back to his family."

"I think your Aunt Dayun won't be able to go. You don't need to ask her. Huang Mao is pregnant and your Grandma is sick again."

"Your aunt has to take care of your grandma on one side and the pig farm on the other. She can't take care of Huang Mao at all."

"Your Aunt Dayun must spend some time taking care of Huang Mao. It would be great if she could find time to go to the school to cook. It's definitely not feasible to spend the night in the school."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "It makes sense. Since you say that, I won't ask Aunt Guihua."

"Xiaoyu's sister-in-law is also pregnant. Aunt Guihua will definitely stay at home to take care of her. I'll go ask Yuzhi."

After discussing with the Sun family, Yang Ruoqing struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly went to the old Han's house at the entrance of the village to look for Yuzhi.

I wasn't very familiar with Yuzhi, the little daughter-in-law of the Han family. I only knew that the family situation of the Han family was similar to that of Lao Wang's family.

The sons of the Han family are similar to Wang Shuanzi. They are both very sick and have to take medicine year after year.

Life in the Han family must be tight. Last year, the Sun family and the Yang Huazhou family built new houses one after another. Yang Ruoqing asked Yuzhi to come to the construction site to cook meals, and Yuzhi's father-in-law was doing small jobs at the construction site.

Both the father-in-law and son-in-law worked hard and devotedly, and made a little money. Therefore, last year's Chinese New Year was the richest and most prosperous year for their family in several years.

This year Yuzhi joined the herb collection team and made money by collecting herbs with the team. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law took over the work in the fields, cooking at home, feeding the chickens, and taking care of the two children, and left it to Yuzhi's man.
