As for this 'sensitive' topic, Yang Ruqing is not stupid, she naturally chooses to remain silent.

Just as they were about to reach the courtyard gate, Liu'er suddenly stopped in her tracks. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Ruqing was surprised and turned her head to look at her: "What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"

Liu'er bit her lip, showing a hint of hesitation.

"Third Sister-in-law, just say what you want to say, there's nothing wrong." Yang Ruqing added.

Liu'er was still hesitant, as if wanting to say something but holding back.

Seeing this, Yang Ruqing was also a little helpless.

“Then you just stew about it for a while, and when you feel like saying something, go ahead. Let's get in.” She said, turning to go inside, but was suddenly pulled back by Liu’er.

"Qinger, I have a question for you. Don't tell anyone else." Liu'er blushed and lowered her voice.

Yang Ruqing nodded. "What's up? Just ask."

Liu'er said, "Honghua, Honghua's mother, has anyone come back to look for your third brother?"

Yang Ruqing was taken aback, thinking that Liu'er was going to ask something else. So it was this!

“As far as I know, ever since my third brother divorced her, she was unwilling to accept it. After making a scene at the Tianxiang Building, she hasn't been seen again.” She spoke truthfully.

Then Liu'er asked, "Has she ever gone to Changping Village to see Hong'er?"

Yang Ruqing shook her head: "No, not at all. Since the New Year, my third brother and Chen Jinhong came to the county town. This year, Hong'er has been taken care of by our grandmother at home."

“Chen Jinhong also hasn't been back to Changping Village to see Hong’er since she left in January.” she said.

Of course, Chen Jinhong couldn't possibly go back. Xu Mang had people send her to another county next door, and she probably wouldn't be able to find her way back.

Here, Liu'er heard this, and the anxiety in her heart seemed to ease a little.

"So, how old is Hong'er now?" she asked again.

When asked this question, Yang Ruoheng really had to think carefully.

Here's the translation: Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Hong'er was probably born in the second half of last year at Chen Jinhong's house.

Not long after she was born, Chen Jinhong's family suffered a disaster. A fire swept through their home, leaving everything burned to ashes.

The old couple of the Chen family, one died in the fire, and the other couldn't bear the blow and died soon after.

Leaving these three little ones behind, they must be so pitiful.

It was in this situation that Old Yang's family received the news and quickly went to bring their three members back.

Because it seemed like the Lunar New Year was approaching, when I calculated...

“Hong'er should be about one year old,” Yang Ruqing said.

Liu'er was surprised: "Isn't it customary to have a birthday when you're one year old? Didn't your third brother celebrate the child's birthday?"

Yang Ruqing shook her head: "My third brother left for Qingan County because of Chen Jinhong, and he hasn't been back to the village in almost a year."

"You'll be my third sister-in-law soon, and you'll be living under the same roof as my third brother. There are some things I won't hide from you."

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

Yang Ruqing then continued, taking Liuer to the wall root nearby.

"The family is very low-key about the child, Hong'er."

“Third brother also purposely didn't go back. For that child's first birthday, even if someone remembered, they wouldn't dare to do anything about it.”

Firstly, the Old Yang family has all split up. Both my father's generation and my third brother's generation have all moved out and live separately.

When a child turns one year old, if the parents don't take the lead in organizing a party, no one else will.

"Secondly, even if my grandpa and the others wanted to do something for the children, they would also have to consider my third brother's feelings,"

"Once I turn a year older, I'm definitely going to ask my third brother to come back."

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

"When my older brother came back, seeing the children and everything in the house, I was afraid that his hard-earned recovery would be affected again."

After all, if any man thought about being deceived and toyed with by his ex-wife like that, wearing a green hat, he wouldn't feel good inside, would he?

Upon hearing all that Yang Ruohqing had said, Liu'er was completely stunned.

“I had only heard bits and pieces about your third brother and his departure from my elder brother. I knew that Chen Jinhong had wronged him, but I didn't know there was so much to it!”

Liu'er was astonished and furious.

"Your third brother, such a good person, worked so hard at the docks to make sure Chen Jinhong could eat well and wear well."

"Several times I went to bring my brother food and water, and I saw with my own eyes several times your third brother carrying heavy loads. It was heartbreaking to see!"

"Chen Jinhong, she really doesn't know how to cherish!" Liu'er said angrily, her eyes filled with a few strands of sympathy for Yang Yongzhi.

“My third brother is indeed a good man. Chen Jinhong doesn’t know how to cherish my third brother. You understand, Liu’er!” Yang Ruqing continued.

She gently patted Liu'er's hand and said, "I hope that after you marry my third brother, the two of you will take care of each other and live a happy and prosperous life."

Liu'er blushed, but this time, her gaze didn't avoid Yang Ruohua. Instead, she bravely looked directly at Yang Ruohua.

"I will be a good wife and a good stepmother, taking good care of Hong'er."

"I won't abuse the children left behind by my predecessor like that stepmother I saw before." She sounded like she was making a promise.

Yang Ruqing smirked and nodded. “If you truly care about my third brother, you will definitely treat his children well,”

"People, they all respond in kind."

“You're good to Honghong, a child can understand that. Besides, Honghong is only one year old. She's little and doesn't have many memories.”

“Just like a little puppy, once you take him in and raise him, he’ll naturally consider you his mother. Sometimes, the kindness of raising someone is even greater than the kindness of giving birth to them!” Yang Ruqing added.

Hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Liu'er felt even more reassured.

"Qing'er, thank you for telling me all of this," Liu'er said.

"To have a niece like you is my good fortune. When I go to Old Yang's family, I hope you will take care of me."

"We're about the same age. If I do anything wrong, you can just point it out directly and I'll correct it. How does that sound?"

From Liu'er's eyes, Yang Ruohua sensed a sincerity and longing.

She also nodded readily, "Okay!"

The two girls were like they had reached some unspoken understanding, and the distance between them suddenly seemed much closer.

They smiled at each other.

At this moment, Liu'er auntie's voice came from the courtyard.

"Where did this little Liu'er go? She went out to get some soy sauce ages ago and still hasn't come back!"

"Oh dear, I almost forgot about this!"

Outside the courtyard, Liu'er came to her senses and sheepishly stuck out her tongue.

She quickly called out to the courtyard wall: "Auntie, I'm back, at the gate."

Then, the two people hurried into the courtyard. One went to the kitchen to cook, and the other went into the main hall to drink tea and rest.
