"I was just teasing him, don't you understand? Don't all our farmers tease children like that? Why are you so serious?" Ms. Liu put on a posture of defending herself to Yang Ruoqing.

When Mrs. Sun saw this, she was shocked. She immediately opened her mouth to smooth things over, but Mrs. Liu snatched her away.

"Third sister-in-law, look at your Qing'er. You don't take me, the fourth aunt, seriously. You can tease me if you want to, and scold if you want to scold me. You can really hear this right next to me. You have to say something.

To be fair, no cover-up is allowed!"

Mrs. Liu grabbed Mrs. Sun, and there was such a fierce collision between her upper and lower lips. The barrage of words gave Sun no chance to open her mouth.

Mrs. Sun looked troubled and could only look at Yang Ruoqing.

But Yang Ruoqing had a sneer on her face.

"Fourth Aunt, I don't care how other people tease their children, but don't you know that the situation between Hong'er and Third Aunt is different?" Yang Ruoqing said.

"Do you understand the word "stepmother is embarrassed"? In the past few years, in order to focus on raising Hong'er, the third sister-in-law did not even have a child of her own."

"Now that I have just given birth to a daughter in front of the ghost gate, my family of four has two children and is reunited. Don't say that to Hong'er. Children don't understand anything. Take it seriously when the time comes.

It’s not good to plant a seed of growth in your heart.”

"Besides, the most indispensable thing in our village is those people who are too lazy to worry about things. If they listen to your words, then they will spread the twists and turns, and they will become the third sister-in-law who has her own

My biological child no longer loves Hong'er!"

Yang Ruoqing also spoke very fast. Several times, Mrs. Liu wanted to interrupt, but she suppressed her.

"Third sister-in-law gave birth to a baby in the town hospital, and she was thinking about Hong'er. The day after the baby was born, she asked me to bring some food back to Hong'er. You don't know any of this, so you just talked nonsense and teased the baby. I pointed out

It's your fault and you still rely on it, you are really unrepentant and stubborn!"

Yang Ruoqing cursed a few more times, making Mrs. Liu's face turn black and her chest heaving with anger.

"Why did my innocent words, teasing my child, cost you so much? I really died unjustly!" Mrs. Liu said bitterly.

At this time, Mrs. Sun also cleared her mind and took the opportunity to speak out: "Fourth brother and sister, I think you did this unintentionally, but Qing'er's concerns are also reasonable."

"Not to mention brothers and sisters from the same mother, there are parents who are partial to each other, and there are secret comparisons and jealousies between brothers and sisters, let alone half-mothers?" said Sun.

Ms. Liu's eyes rolled as she thought of the favoritism shown by Mr. Yangtou and Ms. Tan to the eldest eldest brother, Yang Hua'an and Yang Huamei, and she felt indignant.

Mrs. Sun continued: "Misfortune comes from the mouth. We can all see that you care about Hong'er, but you can't say such teasing words casually. If Qing'er's grandma hears this, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a meal or a slap in the face."

"

"So Qing'er is closing the door now to remind you, it's for your own good, so don't be upset, eh?"

Mrs. Sun's support and threats made Ms. Liu lose her temper.

He could only let out a breath of turbid air, glanced sideways at Yang Ruoqing, who was leisurely drinking tea next to him, and snorted in his nose.

Yang Ruoqing was too lazy to continue arguing with Mrs. Liu. She said what she should say and gave the warning she should give. Seeing that Mrs. Liu had restrained herself, her goal was achieved.

Then he put down the tea bowl and said, "Mom, I'm going to go talk to Duo'er in the backyard. I'll come back when the fourth aunt leaves."

After saying that, he got up and ran to the backyard.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that her chest heaved again. She pointed at Yang Ruoqing's running back and complained to Mrs. Sun: "Third aunt, have you heard this? What did girl Qing say? I, the fourth aunt, am in her

Are you so disgusted with your eyes?"

Mrs. Sun smiled with Mrs. Liu and said, "Don't be upset, you have watched Qing'er grow up, and you don't know her temper? You don't mean anything bad."

"Come on, here are the watermelon seeds I fried last night. Crack a few of them to see if they are fragrant and crispy..."

Mrs. Sun brought over a plate of watermelon seeds, which successfully diverted Mrs. Liu's attention.

Mrs. Liu stopped cursing because she had to use her mouth to crack watermelon seeds.

In the backyard, Yang Ruoqing first went to Xiaohua's house. Feng'er was sleeping and Xiaohua was sitting beside her, sorting out her clothes.

Talking might disturb the child, so Yang Ruoqing said hello to Xiao Huana, turned around and went to Xiao Duo's house opposite.

Xiaoduo is also leaning on the bed doing needlework. Yesterday, the mandarin duck just embroidered a head. Now it has been completely embroidered. Xiaoduo is thinking about what thread to use to match the water waves and water plants underneath.

A pair of beautiful plain hands were picking through a pile of colorful silk threads. They were so absorbed in picking that she didn't notice until Yang Ruoqing came to the bedside.

"Sister, why did you come here free?" Xiaoduo stopped what he was doing and asked.

Yang Ruoqing sat down with a smile and said, "I won't mince words. I just came here to ask about your marriage to Xiang Shengnan."

Hearing this, Xiaoduo's face instantly turned red, and he lowered his head, embarrassed to speak.

Yang Ruoqing reached out and held Xiaoduo's hand: "There is nothing to be shy about. It is about your whole life, so you have to discuss it openly and observe it."

Xiaoduo nodded, then raised his head and looked at Yang Ruoqing, "Sister, I understand what you came here to ask. Mom came to me last night and analyzed a lot of things about Xiang Shengnan."

"But sister, if I say that I believe in my own vision and think Xiang Shengnan is a reliable man, will you support me?"

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment, she didn't expect Xiaoduo to express her feelings so directly.

She was silent for a while and said: "Mother has already said what should be said, and mother has also said what should not be said. If you really don't regret it and insist on your choice, I will naturally support you, sister.

."

Whether it is love or marriage, to put it bluntly, it is a risky investment.

You gamble your youth and time, sometimes for a few years, sometimes for more than ten years, sometimes for a lifetime.

No matter you win or lose, you are responsible for the consequences.

Since Xiao Duo has such a firm attitude, and Yang Ruoqing and others can't see that Xiang Shengnan has any intolerable attitude at present, then they can just follow the elders to discuss their marriage.

…

When Yang Ruoqing accompanied Xiaoduo in the backyard to select silk threads to match the water waves and water plants, and then left after lingering for half an hour, she passed by the main room and found that Mrs. Liu had already left.

Mrs. Sun was clearing away the tea bowls on the table.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the thick layer of watermelon seed shells under the table, and the plate with watermelon seeds on the table was already empty.

No need to think about it, this is all the work of the fourth aunt.

"Mom, let me clean it up for you." Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves and was about to come over. When she saw the faint red mark on her arm, she quickly put down her sleeves.
