Yang Huazhong put down the chopsticks in his hand, pinched his eyebrows and sighed.

"I definitely can't just sit back and watch, but this matter... it's just like hitting an embroidered pillow with a fist. There's nothing left, and I'm very upset!"

There were several rounds of patrols every night, but to no avail.

There is also a story about a ghost kid stealing things from my mother's place. If this news spreads to the village, everyone will be even more panicked when they think of the copper coin from Heifeng's family.

"The matter of the ghost child must be kept secret, not even to the village elder."

After Yang Huazhong thought about it for a while, he explained to Yang Huaming and Yang Yongqing with a serious face.

Yang Huaming had also stopped using his chopsticks and listened carefully to Yang Huazhong's decision, while Yang Yongqing was still choking on his food, his cheeks bulging. No matter what the two uncles said, he just nodded casually.

"Here in the village, we can't stop patrolling. Over at Mei'er, we two brothers will stay there at night."

"Never mind the cow, horse and snake gods, we will find them all!"

Yang Huaming geared up, "Okay, I'll go at night. I'll have to go to the Taoist temple later to do some work. It's a pity that Taoist Master Yuan won't be at the Taoist temple during this period. Otherwise, I'll definitely get it done by asking him to take action!"

Yang Huazhong said: "Yes, we do feel more at ease with Taoist Master Yuan here, but he went to Mount Jiuhua to discuss Taoism and his return date has not yet been determined. We can only figure this out ourselves!"

Not long after Yang Huaming and Yang Yongqing left, He Lianer came back alone.

"Lian'er, why are you coming back alone? Where is your mother?" Yang Huazhong, who was clearing the table, raised his head and asked.

He Lian'er said: "My mother sent me to my aunt to give her an amulet."

"amulet?"

"Well, it's just a piece of Bagua as big as the palm of your hand, with a small mirror in the middle. I told my mother to help my aunt hang it on the window with her own hands."

"I wanted to go with my mother, but my mother said no, so she sent me back first to tell my father so that he wouldn't be anxious."

After saying this, He Lian'er came to Yang Huazhong, put down the empty basket in his hand, and took the opportunity to pick up the rag in his hand.

"Dad, let me do all the work."

Yang Huazhong came to his senses and took back the rag, "Go and do your business. I've almost finished cleaning up here. Go ahead and do your business."

"Okay then, I'll go to the kitchen."

After He Lian'er left, Yang Huazhong put down the rag and walked out of the yard as quickly as possible and headed straight for Lao Wang's house.

I met Sun on the way.

Seeing Yang Huazhong's hurried look, Mrs. Sun asked him: "Has Lian'er told you everything?"

Yang Huazhong nodded, "I'm worried that you are afraid, and I want to go to Lao Wang's house to pick you up."

He had tried his best to downplay the incident involving Lao Wang's family with Mrs. Sun, for fear that she would be afraid.

Unexpectedly, she was sent to Lao Wang's house by her mother.

Mrs. Sun understood Yang Huazhong's intention and felt very relieved, and the smile on her face became more gentle.

"There's nothing to be afraid of when the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. Mei'er and Dabai are both making sunrises in the yard. It's very lively."

"It's good to be lively," Yang Huazhong said, "Has Mei'er accepted the snacks?"

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "I accepted it. I like it very much. She said a lot of good things about our Lian'er."

Yang Huazhong also had pleasant eyes and said, "Our Lian'er is worthy of praise. Well, you go back first. I'll go to the old house to see my mother."

But Mrs. Sun grabbed him and smiled meaningfully, "Even if you want to go, don't go now. We'll go another time."

"Why?" Yang Huazhong was confused.

Mrs. Sun lowered her voice and said, "My father is over there, talking to my mother."

"What? It's been so long and you're still here? Your mother hasn't kicked you out of the house yet?" Yang Huazhong was really shocked.

Mrs. Sun pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded as she smiled, "I took a sneak look at them when I passed by earlier. Both of them looked pretty good, and it seemed they didn't have any quarrel."

Yang Huazhong was surprised by this, and even more delighted.

"Okay, then I won't go. I'll let them live alone first."

In Lao Wang's house, Yang Huamei looked at the Bagua mirror hanging in front of the bed with a sore nose.

Even if she made her mother angry and drove her away, her mother still remembered her, otherwise she would not have sent her third sister-in-law to hang up the Bagua mirror.

Yang Huamei felt very uncomfortable when she recalled the things she had done in the old house, especially the words she said to her mother.

After tossing and turning for a while, she handed the baby to Wang Hongquan to take care of her temporarily, then left the yard and went straight to Sun's pork shop.

When Yang Huamei came to the Sun's butcher shop, she found that there was no one in front of the pork counter. Mrs. Sun was sitting behind the counter with her chin in her hands and dozing off.

Yang Huamei looked around, quite surprised.

She coughed a few times and entered the meat shed. Mrs. Sun opened her eyes when she heard the noise and saw Yang Huamei. She stood up with a smile and said hello.

"How come her aunt has time to come here? Does she want meat?"

Yang Huamei nodded, "Cut two catties."

"okay!"

Mrs. Sun immediately became energetic and opened the shabby bamboo curtain in front of her that was used to cover the pork, revealing half a fan of pork underneath.

She picked up the sharp butcher's knife on the side, rubbed it back and forth on the frosted stone next to it, and asked Yang Huamei with a smile: "Which end did her aunt hit?"

Yang Huamei did not rush to cut it, but asked the eldest Sun: "Her aunt, I think your meat is very good, but why doesn't anyone come to buy it? Is it because I didn't catch up?"

When asked about this, the smile on Mrs. Sun's face suddenly stopped and turned into a frown.

"Hey, isn't there a thief in the village recently? It's made people panic. Everyone says that thief is the greediest one. Every household is afraid to buy delicious food. It's even hard for me to do the pork business!"

After pouring out the bitter water in one go, Da Sun felt relieved, but then she was worried that Yang Huamei would be frightened and dare not buy it, so she began to feel upset, blaming herself for not being able to control her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huamei was very calm and did not turn around and leave.

Instead, he pointed at the desk and said, "If that's the case, then I have to take care of my aunt's business. Here, chop it into three pounds for me!"

Yes, I added another pound, and Mrs. Sun suddenly became happy.

I shouted "Okay" and then raised the knife. The knife was very sharp. It cut meat just like cutting tofu and chopped bones with no fuss.

Da Sun's method is now very accurate. After agreeing on three kilograms, when it is chopped and weighed, it will be exactly three kilograms, no more, no less.

"Auntie, you've really mastered this technique." Yang Huamei was also very impressed.

Mrs. Sun smiled proudly and said, "The old oil sellers poured oil from the hole in the middle of the copper plate, but not a drop leaked."

"If you do the same thing every day, you will naturally master it. It's nothing."

Yang Huamei still gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's awesome."
