Hearing Zhou Sheng's words, Yang Ruocheng immediately had an idea.

“Then let’s go to her maternal family's house right away!” she said.

Zhou Sheng's elder brother looked embarrassed and said, "I would like to go look for it, but about this medicine, I don't think my wife is any good at it. She's clumsy..."

Yang Ruqing reached out to take the medicine pouch and said, “I’ll make this medicine. I’ll look after Bingbing first. You go find Brother Zhou Sheng quickly, he needs to be here by Bingbing's side now that he’s so sick!”

Zhou Shengge gratefully said, "Good, I'll go find him right away. Then I'll trouble you, Qing'er!"

Yang Ruqing smiled, "We're all from the same hometown, no need for formalities."

Moreover, in the past one or two months, because of the locust plague, many families in the village who had also received kindness from the Yang family, the Sun family, and the Luo family have shunned them.

While Zhou Shengchen and his brother didn't have anything of the sort. They were always as they were before, still as they are now.

I will not come to fawn over them if the Yang and Luo families rise to prominence, nor will I stay away from them if they fall into misfortune...

From beginning to end, never forget the original intention, this is the true way of getting along.

So, Yang Ruqing readily agreed to help take care of Bingbing.

At noon, Zhou Shengge came back in a hurry.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he got so angry that he threw the ox cart down and shouted, "I'm furious! That bastard!"

Yang Ruqing came out of the barracks, still holding a bowl in her hand.

Earlier, Bingbing woke up. Yang Ruqing fed him the medicine and he just fell asleep after being soothed.

"What's going on? How did he get so drunk he's lying there like a puddle?" Yang Ruqing asked Zhou Sheng's older brother, "Where did you find him?"

Brother Zhou pointed at Zhou Shengdao, who was sleeping soundly in the oxcart, snoring loudly: "Don't mention it, after he settled the account yesterday, he left and went to the town to drink flower wine."

"It took me several visits to brothels before I finally found him. All my money was spent, and he was thrown out at the door, sleeping in his undergarments."

"If I hadn't arrived in time, on this cold day, who knows what would have happened to me."

“My son is sick, and this father of his doesn't give me a moment's peace. Honestly!”

Yang Ruqing also frowned, "Why did Zhou Sheng go to that kind of place? When he wakes up, you help ask him nicely and persuade him."

“This kind of thing I'm not very convenient to ask, so I'll go first.” Yang Ruoqing said.

After leaving Zhou Shengchen's house, Yang Ruoqing returned with a heavy heart.

To my surprise, after a busy morning, I heard that Zhou Sheng was drunk in the courtyard. It's truly disappointing.

"Qing'er, where are you going? I've called out to you several times but you don't answer. What's wrong?"

Until a familiar voice reached her ears, Yang Ruqing came to her senses. She realized she had already arrived at the pond dam. The person calling her was Xiaoqin.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Xiaolin carried a basket in her hand, which still contained several cabbages and radishes.

"I want to go home now. I didn't hear you just now." Yang Ruohua smiled apologetically at Xiaqin.

Xia Qin sized up Yang Ruoheng, saying, "You seem troubled. Come on, tell me what's wrong."

Yang Ruqing then told Xiaqin about Zhou Sheng's affairs. Of course, Yang Ruqing didn't mention the secret part about Bingbing.

After hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Xia Qin smiled and looked unconcerned.

"Qing'er, to be honest, I think even if Zhou Sheng goes to the Goulan courtyard, it's not a big deal. As a man, and a normal, healthy man in his prime..."

"With his wife gone, he must be going through a very hard time living alone. During the day, it's not so bad, he keeps himself busy, but once night falls, that feeling of loneliness and isolation…"

Xiaoqin paused for a moment, lowered her head and softly said: "Only those who have experienced it can truly understand!"

Yang Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiaqin.

Xiaoqin said a little embarrassedly: "Speaking to you, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. To be honest, some things, as long as a normal person, can't hold back."

"When Daping left, it was three years of solitude. At night, I felt so lonely, and my bed was always cold."

“I told myself I couldn't think about those things, it would be disloyal to Daping, and disrespectful to the children. As a woman, I should abide by the rules of propriety.”

“That’s why I work so hard, just so that I can fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow at night and not have to think about anything.”

"And men, in those things, are a bit different from us women."

>

"Men come and go quickly. Take Zhou Shengge for example, he's in his prime, surely he can't stand it. He can't stand it, and he doesn't want to cause trouble with someone else's wife or sister-in-law. It's better to spend some money at a place like the brothel and get some pleasure."

It's just like buying something. You pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other. Once it's done, everyone is square and owes nothing to each other. That's it.

After listening to Xiao Qin's explanation, Yang Ruohong felt that it seemed to make sense.

As humans, we all have seven emotions and six desires, and we all have biological instincts.

If Fen Zhi were still alive and Zhou Sheng had gone to Goulan Courtyard to get drunk, that would be truly wrong.

But Fengzhi is gone, Zhou Sheng is left alone raising the child, acting both as father and mother. The double pressure on life and spirit also needs a place to vent.

Okay, it was just that when I was thinking about this before, my angle was a bit...

"Well, since ancient times there has been yin and yang. Only when yin and yang are in harmony can there be prosperity and abundance." Yang Ruqing said.

"This matter is over, rest assured. Tomorrow when I see Zhou Shengge, I won't bring it up to him, and I definitely won't intentionally ridicule him." she added.

Xiaoqin smiled.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing's gaze fell on Xiaoqin's belly, then she pursed her lips and smiled.

What? Can you tell me something happy? Like, your belly...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin's face flushed red immediately.

"Did Big Mo tell you?" she asked.

Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow.

Xiaoqin smiled helplessly: "I told him not to rush to tell you, oh, he just can't keep secrets about his sister."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing said, “It's not that he favors his younger sister and belittles his wife, but he's too excited about the child in your belly. He can't hide it at all, so he wants to share it with more people.”

Xiaoqin also had a happy smile on her face, she raised her hand to touch her stomach and said softly, "Whether I'm pregnant, I can't say for sure yet, but this month's period hasn't come."

"I've been pregnant twice before, both times were like this, that's why I think this is it." Xiaoqin said.

Yang Ruqing said, "Extend your hand to me, and I'll take your pulse first to get a sense of it."

After taking his pulse, Yang Ruqing smiled and deliberately remained silent.

"Qing'er, how are you? Isn't that so?" Xiaoqin asked a little nervously.

>

Yang Ruohong nodded, "Congratulations, Xiaoqin, you're going to be a mother again."

Xia Qin's heart finally let go, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Wait three months, then tell them. For now, just keep it a secret for me," Xiaoqin said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing nodded.
