At dawn the next day, Ping'er was dressed neatly, washed up, and sat at the table waiting quietly.

Several times she wanted to make some noise so that Yang Ruoqing could wake up from the bed, but she couldn't bear it, so she kept sitting quietly.

Yang Ruoqing comforted Ping'er for a while last night, but then she became so sleepy that her eyelids closed and she didn't know it.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Ping'er was not in bed.

Ping'er shouldn't be tempted to do anything impulsive, right?

Yang Ruoqing was so frightened that she sat up from the bed and opened the curtain. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ping'er sitting at the table.

"Ping'er, did you stay up all night?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Ping'er turned around, her voice a little hoarse: "I squinted for a while and couldn't fall asleep."

Yang Ruoqing didn't ask again, it would be strange if she fell asleep.

"Wait for me for a while, I'll get up and wash up."

…

At noon, the three of them returned to Changping Village smoothly.

"Qing'er, I'll go home and tell Zhou Shengna about this first. We'll come over to you and Tang Yazi later at night to discuss it."

"How about we just drop you off at the door? The carriage is just a few steps away." Yang Ruoqing was a little worried about Ping'er. She hadn't slept all night and her mental state was very bad.

Ping'er shook her head, "Don't worry about me, I can hold on. I just want to vent my anger with Zhou Sheng right now..."

Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, then you can go back and we can talk at night."

After returning to their home, they talked with the elders and got close to the children. The couple went back to the backyard to change clothes and shoes and talk.

Luo Fengtang already knew about the affairs of Huahua's husband's family from Yang Ruoqing. As a man, Luo Fengtang only had four words to comment on people like Gu Zhihua: Coward! Shameless!

Yang Ruoqing, on the other hand, is even simpler and can be described in two words: scum!

"...If I hadn't stopped her at that time, Ping'er would have rushed forward and died with Gu Zhihua's sister and brother. Hey, Gu Zhihua is really capable of driving such a good-tempered Ping'er crazy!"

Yang Ruoqing was washing her face while talking to Luo Fengtang.

"This couple of bitches are so irritating. Let alone Ping'er, even I, a bystander, can't be irritated!"

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Luo Fengtang also looked stern.

"As a man, he has no responsibility or courage. If he really likes someone, he should try his best to fight for it and not let her marry someone else." Luo Fengtang said.

"Even if he missed an opportunity at that time, then, now that he is a civil servant and his cousin is a widow and free again, if he is responsible, he should marry her regardless of other people's opinions. There is no need to go around in so many circles. This is obscene.

Dirty!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "I feel relieved when I hear you scolding Gu Zhihua like that."

Luo Fengtang smiled, "Tell me, how do you want to teach Gu Zhihua a lesson? I can just ask someone to do such a small thing, you don't need to tire your hands."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "As for Gu Zhihua, I don't want to beat him, beat him up or take off one of his arms or legs. For someone like him, it's not like taking money from the bottom of the cauldron. It can only give way to the things he cares about most.

He is desperate, this is true despair!"

Luo Fengtang understood.

"Gu Zhihua is an ambitious scholar. In order to study in the best academy in Qing'an County, he worked hard to get this opportunity." He mused.

Yang Ruoqing smiled knowingly at him, "The one who understands me is Tang Yazi!"

…

I originally thought that Zhou Sheng and Ping'er would come over during the supper, but after the supper, the elders and children in the family went to bed, and the couple still didn't come over.

"We made a promise before, why haven't you come yet? This is not like Ping'er's temperament." Yang Ruoqing was a little confused.

Luo Fengtang said: "Brother Zhou Sheng should be at home. He didn't come over. There is only one possibility. The two of them had different ideas."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "No way? Is it possible that Brother Zhou Sheng still insists on such a marriage? He has been a villager for most of his life, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who climbs high!"

Pick up the branches and look at the entire Changping Village, Wanghai County, or even Qing'an County. Are there any branches higher than Tangyazi, Da'an and Muzichuan?

Even so, Zhou Sheng didn't come over to flatter him, let alone this mere Juren?

"It's getting late, shall we continue to wait? Or what?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "Since you didn't come over, there must be a reason. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to rush to Ping'er and the others. Let's go to bed. We won't wait..."

Just as he said no more waiting, someone knocked gently at the door of the courtyard.

"Qing'er, Tangyazi, are you asleep?"

"It's Ping'er's voice." Yang Ruoqing said.

The two opened the courtyard door and invited Ping'er and Zhou Sheng into the main room to talk.

Yang Ruoqing took off her shoes and put her feet in the fire bucket, then asked Ping'er to put her feet in too.

Luo Fengtang and Zhou Sheng sat at the table and handed Blacksmith Luo's cigarette bag to Zhou Sheng: "Smoke."

Zhou Sheng waved his hand: "I won't smoke anymore, I don't have the intention to smoke!"

Luo Fengtang didn't try to dissuade him, and sat quietly listening to Yang Ruoqing talking to the couple.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes circled around the two couples in front of her, and finally returned to Ping'er.

Then, straight to the point, he asked: "How did you discuss it with Brother Zhou Sheng?"

Ping'er also looked at Zhou Sheng and sighed: "Zhou Sheng was even angrier than me. At that time, he said that no matter how high-ranking this person is, we don't care about him!"

"Since you two have the same idea, then this matter will be easy to handle. Call off the engagement!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Ping'er had a bitter look on her face, and Zhou Sheng also sighed heavily.

"Qing'er, my son is older than his mother. Zhou Sheng and I agreed to break off the engagement, but Huahua won't be willing to do so even if I beat her to death!"

"What? Ping'er, what are you talking about? We already have a family like this, and Huahua still wants to marry? Isn't that girl stupid?" Yang Ruoqing was so shocked that her voice became louder.

Ping'er nodded helplessly: "This child's reading has been in vain, and all the teachings I have given her over the years have gone into the dog's belly."

"Zhou Sheng and I didn't come over earlier, so we just tried to reason with her at home, but no matter how we tried to explain it, it didn't make sense..."

Yang Ruoqing interrupted Pinger: "Then tell me, Gu Zhihua and cousin Shuhua are like that, why does she insist on getting married? What is it about her that attracts her so much that she can't let go?"

Zhou said angrily: "What else can I do, just because that boy Gu Zhihua has good looks!"

"It's Juren again. He can recite a few sour poems and call people "Master Juren". He has face, and his family's life is easy. He has hundreds of acres of land in his name, and the tenants all praise him. This girl is so embarrassed by these prestige-related things.

The thing has confused my eyes and my mind, and I want to jump into the fire with my eyes closed!"

Yang Ruoqing was completely dumbfounded.
