Yang Ruqing retracted her gaze and then looked towards the entrance of the village.

Strange, why didn't the carriages of Madam Liu Da and Madam Liu Er follow out?

With such a scandal breaking, the person involved has run away first, and they still haven't left? They are going to stay and watch the show unfold?

This mindset is truly amazing!

Oh, I just feel sorry for Kawasawa's side. I wonder if he's hearing all this right now, and what he'll do about it!

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

No matter how you look at it, Kozue is truly a unlucky child. He finally made up his mind to accept a woman and wanted to change his life, stepping into marriage and family.

...but got cheated on.

Things change all the time, and fate's arrangements are beyond our control. What else can we do but accept them?

Yang Ruqing didn't dare to go to Lao Mu's house anymore, nor did she dare to meet Zichuan, because she didn't know how to face Mu Zichuan and comfort him.

　　Yang Ruqing carried a bucket of water into her parents' courtyard. Yang Huazhong was not in the main hall, only Xia'an was accompanied by Feng'er playing, Xiao Duo watched from the side, reminding and instructing, these siblings together just like to fight and play, from five or six years old to now.

Sometimes, Yang Ruqing looked at the two of them and thought about playing matchmaker, but then she thought, since they were already a couple from their own family's arrangement, there was no need to push further!

It's still men marrying women and forming a large family. Let's get the real relatives together!

"Where are father and mother?" asked Yang Ruqing.

Xiao Duo said: “Grandpa sent my third cousin over earlier to call Dad. He said there was something important to discuss, so Dad stayed at the old house for lunch.”

"Mother and Xiaohua are cooking in the backyard, and by the way, Fourth Aunt is also talking in the backyard. Sister, you know what I mean!" Xiaoduo winked mischievously.

Of course Yang Ruqing understood. Fourth Aunt was a gossip carrier, and she must have come to spread some rumors again.

And at that moment, the headline of the gossip section of Changping Village's website was undoubtedly about Mu Zichuan being cheated on, with Liu Doukou and Xiao Yu having a private meeting by the river...

"Fourth Aunt's mouth is always running." Yang Ruqing shook her head and, carrying the slop bucket, went straight to the backyard.

In the backyard, Yang Ruqing just came in and saw Liu Shi pulling Sun Shi standing at the kitchen door talking. Liu Shi was speaking while her eyes flickered uncertainly, her face full of mystery.

Sun stood there, her face a mixture of surprise, resignation, and wry smiles, occasionally shaking her head and sighing softly.

"Ahem!" Yang Ruqing coughed deliberately twice to divert their attention.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu saw Yang Ruoqing together, with love and joy in Mrs. Sun's eyes.

"You're here for lunch? Didn't you already eat?" Mrs. Sun asked.

Yang Ruqing laughed and said, "Not only did I eat it, but I also brought the leftovers to feed the two little piglets!"

Before Mrs. Sun could speak, Mrs. Liu had already rushed to the slop bucket and peered inside.

"Oh, the life of a wealthy person is so different. Qing'er, your leftover rice and dishes here are all good food! It's just a pity they're ending up in this slop bucket, alas!" Liu sighed, shaking her head with regret.

Yang Ruqing smiled faintly: "Aunt Four, don't try to play poor with me. I know you better than anyone else! When other families hadn't even started slaughtering chickens and ducks for the New Year in December, your family had already quietly eaten twenty chicken legs."

“Those chicken legs were especially bought by you from the market in town, salty chicken legs and duck legs, a whole bunch! Fried every day, stewed every day, it’s really nourishing!”

Hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Liu shi jumped up in a hurry, "Which ear-bearer told you this?"

Yang Ruqing said, "This is not something shameful, is it? There's no need to hide it. People live for food. Eating well, living comfortably is the most important thing."

Liu was still stepping on Yang Ruqing, wanting to ask who the whistleblower was. Yang Ruqing was getting a bit annoyed and raised the bucket of slop in her hand.

"Auntie Four, just don't ask any further. I won't tell you even if you ask. If you're not happy, I'll give you the leftovers in this slop bucket as compensation." she said.

Liu's face changed, she quickly let go and took a few steps back. "Qinger's words are too disrespectful. At least I am your aunt, an elder, this is too humiliating..."

Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes. "Wasn't it you who always envied me for having leftover rice and vegetables in this trash can? Besides, you spread gossip about other people every other day. Don't you know yourself where these gossips came from in the first place?"

“If everyone were as inquisitive as you, no one would dare to gossip anymore! No one would want to listen either. From now on, don't come to me with gossip. I can't handle it!”

Yang Ruqing's accusation left Liu speechless, who could only gnash her teeth in hatred.

“I can’t argue with you, your mother wouldn’t even care about you either. Fine, I'm leaving. It's like I'm nothing without this place. I don't believe in that superstition anyway!”

After saying that, Liu Shi stomped her foot and turned around, huffing and puffing as she walked towards the front yard.

Sun Shi wanted to chase after him, to go and explain, but Yang Ruqing pulled her back.

Yang Ruqing winked at Sun shi, signaling her to ignore it.

At that moment, when Mrs. Sun was startled, Mrs. Liu in front deliberately slowed her pace and pricked up her ears to catch the sounds from behind.

One step, two steps, three steps... almost to the back door of the main hall in the front courtyard. Why hasn't Third Sister-in-law come to call me yet?

And I can't turn back either, oh dear, this is really troubling!

One foot had already crossed the threshold, there was no turning back. Liu gritted her teeth and pushed open the door, leaving completely.

At the doorway of the kitchen in the backyard, Sun finally opened her mouth after watching Liu's figure disappear.

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

“Qing’er ah, are we a bit too harsh on your Aunt Four like this?” Sun shi asked somewhat nervously.

"After all, she's your aunt by marriage and your uncle's lawful wife. She's also your elder, in the truest sense of the word!" Mrs. Sun added.

Yang Ruqing smiled: "Elderly people should also behave like elderly people. Look at her, from head to toe, does she look like a proper elder?"

“Mom, just relax. Your sister-in-law is just like this – she has a hot temper. The nicer you are to her, the more trouble she'll cause. If you're not nice to her, she might actually listen to you. You've dealt with her for so many years; haven’t you learned that?”

This statement, Yang Ruqing deliberately said it a bit beautified. In simpler terms, you just can't treat people like the Liu family as human beings.

“What if she takes offense and refuses to come home or visit us?” Mrs. Sun couldn’t help but ask again.

Yang Ruqing was furious, "Mom, isn't she your benefactor?"

"Impossible!" Mrs. Sun exclaimed, her face deliberately hardening.

Yang Ruqing asked again, "She's neither your provider nor your elder, nor your creditor. What does it matter if she comes or not?"

Sun shi was startled.

"I was thinking that since we're all relatives, it wouldn't be good if we didn't keep in touch." Mrs. Sun smiled wryly.

Yang Ruqing comforted, "Mother, just rest assured. As I said before, Fourth Aunt's temper comes and goes quickly. Over the years, she's been driven away by me at least ten times, right?"

"In three days at most, Zhuzhu will come over to pay a visit, otherwise she'll suffocate herself from boredom. So mother, you don't need to worry, just do whatever you need to do. I've put the slop bucket here, and I'll come back and get it at night."

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else! ?
