“Qing’er’s father, what’s the situation? Have you still not found your second brother?” Sun hurriedly asked.

Liu Shi and Bao Suyun also gathered around.

Yang Huazhong frowned and nodded.

“He was deliberately avoiding us.” he said.

When my older brother and I found their rented courtyard house in town, we happened to catch them having breakfast.

There were three people sitting at the table, Second Sister-in-law, Lan girl, and Bai boy.

“But there were four sets of bowls and chopsticks laid out, clearly someone had heard the noise and run away, they hadn't had time to clear them…” he said.

"Huh?"

Both Sun and Bao Suyun were surprised.

I can't believe there are people in this world who are so unfilial, capable of doing such things?

The Liu family was also furious.

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

"Second brother and second sister-in-law are too bad, only caring about themselves."

“Back when they split up the family, the two of them dragged their families back with their butts in the dirt.”

"Now it's their turn to retire, they've all disappeared."

“When it's our turn next, we’ll do the same as them. What will our parents do then? They’ll starve on the streets!”

>

"Fourth younger sister, please say less!"

Mrs. Sun frowned at Mr. Liu.

He then glanced worriedly towards the east room.

Liu twisted her lips, didn't speak up, but still looked indignant.

Yang Ruqing saw Liu's reaction and felt a pang of worry.

The second house isn't a good bird, and the fourth house is even worse.

The matter of the second house can't be kept under control. If we don't handle it now, later on when it's the fourth house's turn to support their elderly, it definitely won't work either.

Neither the second nor the fourth rooms care about the elderly couple, and Big Brother Yang Huainan is no good either.

In the end, the retirement issues of Old Yang and Tan's elderly couple fell entirely on the heads of the third and fifth rooms.

Three-bedroom and five-bedroom houses used to be the two types of houses that the old couple disliked the most.

Well, what goes around comes around. I really didn't expect things to develop like this!

Beside her, Sun shi again asked Yang Huazhong: "What should we do now?"

Yang Huazhong said, "What I mean is, if the second brother really wants to hide and not be seen, then the eldest brother's side would have also passed a month."

"It's simply impossible. The three of us will cover it for now, we can't let the elders go hungry." said the man.

Upon hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Sun shi could not bring herself to refute. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

On the sidelines, Yang Ruqing frowned.

Look, the Second House dodged it. They must have seen that the Third House wouldn't stand by and watch.

This ball will definitely be caught by the third room if it is kicked out.

Indeed.

This is a test.

For taking care of her elderly parents until their end, Yang Ruqing had no objection.

>

This is what a dutiful child should do.

But everything has principles, and we have to follow the rules!

She was about to speak when the door to the east room opened and Lao Yangtou strode out.

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

"Boss, go put the cart harness on,"

>

"Lao San, go get your mother out here and put her on the oxcart. Take us to town!" Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Old Yang raised his voice and gave orders.

>

Yang Huazhong was stunned.

"Father, what are you and mother...?"

"You can't run away from your responsibility, just like you can't escape the temple. If that little rascal doesn't come back, I'm going to take your mother to their place and find them!"

Old Yang's face was dark as he spoke.

"I don't believe that nonsense. We raised him, nurtured him, brought him up to adulthood. He dares not to take care of us in our old age!"

When Yang Huazhong was cooking lunch, he came back.

>

The man looked exhausted, as if he couldn't catch his breath.

Mrs. Sun pulled up a stool for him to sit on, and Yang Ruoqing made him a bowl of sugar water.

The man drank a few sips of sweet water and regained his composure.

Then Mrs. Sun inquired about town affairs.

Yang Huazhong said: "Seeing me and my elder brother send our parents off, the second sister-in-law was so anxious that she almost fought with my elder brother. It was I who pulled them apart."

"What happened then?" asked Mrs. Sun.

“After that, what could they do? Mother just had the eldest brother move their bedding to the second brother and sister-in-law's room.”

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

"When my older brother and I left, the second brother never showed up."

Upon hearing the man's words, Sun shi fell silent, not knowing what to say.

The man sighed, "I'm really worried about my parents."

"This town isn't like our village; everyone here has lived here their whole lives."

"Their second brother's place was a small courtyard, and the neighbors didn't socialize. Every household kept their doors locked, as if they were afraid of both neighbors and thieves."

"The father has no acquaintances at all, and the mother is blind."

“The old couple just live there like that. If my second brother doesn't go back soon, I'm truly worried that my second sister-in-law will make things difficult for them!”

The man spoke, and the worry on his face deepened.

>

Son also sighed.

Seeing the man like this, I felt compassion.

"Let's wait two more days and see. If it really doesn't work, we can bring our parents back..." the woman said.

Hearing the woman's words, Yang Huazhong's eyes flashed.

He looked at Mrs. Sun gratefully, his lips moving silently, unable to utter a word.

At that moment, Yang Ruqing, who had been silently listening all along, finally spoke.

"Father, mother, don't worry, I'm old and spicy."

“Since I’ve made up my mind to go live with Second Uncle, I must surely have a way to subdue them,” Yang Ruqing said.

Who is Tan Shi?

That was the stepmother who had ruled over Yang's family for over a decade.

What's blind, anyway?

Tan's limbs are all intact, and his mind is sharp.

>

In this PK, Yang Ruqing bet that Tan Shi would win!

In the blink of an eye, Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi had spent two days in town.

For two days, there was no news returned to the village.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou also obediently followed Lao Yangtou's instructions and did not go to visit Yang Hualin.

The past two days were calm and peaceful, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems like the second brother should be back.

They took in the elderly couple and shouldered the responsibility of supporting them.

That's it.

Everyone went back to their own orbits, busy with their own affairs.

Yang Huazhou shuttled back and forth between the wine shop and the village.

Yang Huazhong was busy with construction work and still had to spare time to go to the fields with Sun Shi to take care of farm work.

The rapeseed and wheat in the field are all yellowed.

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

The cuckoo is singing, harvest time has come.

While Yang Ruqing was running the tavern and waiting for Zuo Junmo to bring over the mules, horses, and carriages, she was also preparing for another matter.

In the morning, she led a stack of gifts to Doctor Fu's house.

Let's get straight to the point.

"Uncle Fu, I want to organize a herbal medicine gathering team in the village. You are our village's old doctor with rich experience."

“I want to ask you to be the leader of this group, teaching everyone about medicinal herbs. As for pay...”

Money can make the devil grind.

When the money is in place, everything can be discussed.

Yang Ruoqing successfully persuaded Fu Bo to join her in collecting herbs.

Next, she sent out the message.

These villagers also often help the wealthy households nearby pick tea leaves in their spare time.

They all calculate pay based on the amount of work.

I survived the day, making only twenty cash coins.

And at this time, Yang Ruqing offered thirty wen a day for gathering herbs.

Thirty wen (Chinese currency), you can buy thirty eggs, and the elderly and children at home can eat for half a month.

The pork can be called two kilograms.

Once cooked, both adults and children can have a good meal.

Besides, this is just for one day's work! Remember to: be convenient to see next time, or.
