Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's question, the faces of both Da Sun and Sun instantly darkened.

"It's all for naught," Da Sun said, lowering her voice.

Yang Ruqing's eyes immediately turned red.

...the children's situation at home, on Gaobo's side again...

Here is the English translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

This person's heart is truly being roasted over a fire, churning back and forth. Sometimes adding salt, sometimes vinegar, sometimes chili flakes...

It's really bad, I feel awful.

“Let me go see my grandmother.” Yang Ruqing said, raising her foot to leave, but she was stopped by Mrs. Sun.

“Last night, your granny probably didn't sleep well. She just closed her eyelids and let her rest for a while.” Mrs. Sun said.

Yang Ruqing pursed her lips, turned around, and held onto Sun's arm. "Alright, I'll come back later."

Supporting Mrs. Sun back home, Xiaoduo swept the courtyard and cleaned the teacups in the front yard, while Xiaohua carried a basin of clothes and prepared to go outside to wash them.

Seeing that Mrs. Sun had returned, Xiaohua hurried over, "Mother, sister, you came back so early? How's Grandma?"

Yang Ruqing shook her head, and the smile on Xiaohua's face froze.

"Well then, are you guys hungry? I'll go cook breakfast first?" Xiaohua asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "You'd better keep washing the clothes. I'll help Mother cook breakfast."

In the kitchen, Yang Ruqing was kneading dough by the stove to prepare steamed buns, while Sun sat at the entrance of the kitchen, her expression gloomy.

Yesterday at noon, I could only eat half a bowl of noodles. When it came time for dinner, my throat started to feel blocked again, so I drank a few mouthfuls of porridge.

“Last night, both your aunt and I woke up several times because of your grandma.”

"How are you?" Yang Ruqing asked.

"Is that a sound of pain?" Yang Ruqing asked again.

Sun shook her head, "It's calling out, not a cry of pain. She called out other people's names all night."

“Calling someone’s name? Who?” Yang Ruqing asked.

Could it be that these are the names of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, like Huai Da Jie and Da An?

Sun said, "The names called are those of relatives from Sunjiagou, all deceased relatives..."

Yang Ruoqing was stunned, her hands kneading the dough froze.

Sun continued, "I told your aunt last night, when I heard your grandmother muttering those names and titles of the ancestors, it was like welcoming and seeing them off, as if the room was packed with people..."

“At first, I didn't think much of it. But in the middle of the night, when I heard them screaming like that, my spine really chilled, and I was even a little scared…”

Yang Ruqing buried her head down and continued kneading the dough, but a bad feeling welled up inside her.

Mrs. Sun sighed and continued, "According to old sayings, people can only see their deceased relatives when they are about to die. They say it's because the relatives have come to take them. Your grandmother's spirit might have already left her body..."

The soul is something Yang Ruohong doesn't know when it leaves the body, but she absolutely believes that people have a hundred percent soul.

Because she herself was a soul from the 21st century, who fell into this body, and thus became who she is today.

Then, where would Gaga's soul go if it left?

"If we tried to summon spirits, I wonder if we could bring back your grandmother's soul?"

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

Sun sat at the doorway of the kitchen, mumbling to herself.

A woman's heart and mind are now completely occupied with how to persuade Old Madam Sun to stay for a while longer...

>

“Mother, even if we summon her soul, Granny Gao won't live long because a spirit needs a body to reside in. Just like water needs a bowl to hold it.”

"Grandma's body is already worn out, just like that bowl with several holes in it, the water leaking out..."

After hearing Yang Ruqing's vivid comparison, Mrs. Sun remained silent, dropping her eyelids and letting tears fall like beans.

In the village, although a severe famine was raging and empty stomachs were a constant ache, people's gossipy nature couldn't be contained.

Well, everyone in the village knew about Grandmother Sun's critical illness. Then everyone started talking about it, you know? I heard ghostly wails here today, and tomorrow someone else would say they heard ghostly laughter somewhere else.

>It was last night, I was washing my feet and hadn't gone to bed yet, when suddenly two strange cries came from outside.

"That sound, when I heard it, wasn't good at all. I was so scared I didn't even dare to pour out the water I used to wash my feet, and I quickly climbed onto the bed." Woman A said.

Then Woman B said, “I heard that sound too. It seemed to come from the main road near the village entrance…”

"Over by the village entrance? Why, that's right where the Sun family lives, isn't it?" Village Woman C whispered.

A villager said, "I heard that the old woman of Sun's family is about to pass away these days. Haven't you seen that all the grandsons of Sun's family have come back from the school in the county?"

"Oh, poor old woman. It's just terrible that she got such a dreadful illness. She must be suffering so much."

As everyone was sighing in dismay, another woman who usually talked the most ran up to them with a flourish. "Hey, I have something to tell you all, it'll scare you half to death!"

"What's the matter?" asked Women A, B, and C in unison to the newcomer, Woman D.

The woman, Ding, swallowed nervously and said: "I came from my mother's house. I heard a hunter there say that just two days ago, he went to the mountains and set up rabbit snares overnight. When he suddenly looked up at the dawning light, he saw a woman walking past by the river at the foot of the mountain."

“The woman had a kerchief on her head, a hoe over her shoulder, and a basket slung in the crook of her arm.”

He was still wondering who the woman's family she belonged to, so hardworking that she was already out digging wild vegetables before dawn.

Just as he bent down to pull the rabbit out of its trap and looked up again, there was no sign of the woman on the riverbank.

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

He thought it might have been his eyes playing tricks on him, or that the woman had moved elsewhere. So he looked around, but there was nothing there.

“The fields nearby were overgrown with weeds, and even if the woman had good legs, it would be impossible for her to disappear without a trace while he was bending down and getting up. The river bank is so long...”

A few women all gasped, looking at each other in disbelief, everyone trying to process this bombshell news.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

“You said, could it be Grandmother Sun?” Another woman asked after a moment of silence.

"How is that possible? The hunters all said she was a woman, probably in her early twenties, not old!"

>

"Oh my, so it seems another young woman in our village is about to die?"

After she finished speaking, the woman hurriedly covered her mouth. Her eyes, peeking out from the edge of her palm, darted back and forth in fear.

"Oh well, if I'm going to die anyway, what difference does it make? It's been so long since I've had a decent meal! I'm sick of eating weeds and last year's pickled cabbage. Dying would be better!" another woman said.

Yang Ruqing had just finished washing Luobao's clothes by the pond when she heard a commotion coming from the east side of the village.

Then, many villagers rushed over there.

“What happened?” Yang Ruoheng asked Xiaohua next to her.

My grandmother is critically ill now, and the baby also has chickenpox. I haven't been to the village for days, let alone paying attention to all the trivial matters that are going on there.

Little Hua raised her head to look in that direction, then grabbed a villager passing by and asked about it.

>

Xiaohua immediately ran back to Yang Ruqing's side: "Sister, I heard, it was Dajiang's sister-in-law Gui Fang and Zhou Sheng's sister-in-law Feng Zhi who had a fight."
