Wanghai County, Changping Village.

In the playground of Lao Luo's family.

The three children had a great time playing there, and the adults' hands were just freed.

Mrs. Sun greeted Yang Ruoqing and asked Yang Ruoqing to keep an eye on the children. She took this opportunity to do housework for a while.

For example, she washed the pots and dishes she had eaten in the morning, and fed the Luo family and her own chickens and ducks.

For another example, she and Wang Cuilian both planted vegetable gardens. The vegetable gardens were not only in the fields outside, but also dug several vegetable patches in the backyard of the house to grow vegetables. Vegetables were also planted under the walls outside the courtyard wall.

.

Mrs. Sun wanted to take this opportunity to water the vegetables, and when she finished work, she would pick up two handfuls of vegetables and bring them back for lunch...

"Although there are two people taking care of the children, I see that the third mother is too busy to keep her feet off the ground."

In the playground, Yang Ruoqing and San Yatou also sat on the soft leather round stools next to them.

Under the third girl is a carrot stool, and under Yang Ruoqing is a big watermelon stool, one red and one green. The two of them are sitting on it. You look at me, I look at you, they both feel very funny.

So, when she had nothing to say, the third girl talked about the Sun family.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "You know your third mother, you can't sit still."

The third girl glanced at Mrs. Liu who had taken off her shoes not far away, was wearing socks and was stepping on the soft cloth mat, looking at various entertainment equipment.

The third girl couldn't help but laugh, "My mother is different. Even at such an old age, she always retains a childlike innocence."

Yang Ruoqing also followed the gaze of the three girls and happened to see Mrs. Liu holding on to the swing frame, looking eager to sit on it.

Before Yang Ruoqing could stop her, the third girl had already shouted: "Mom, that swing can only be used by children and cannot hold adults. You can only look at it and touch it, but you can't sit on it! It will break the seat!"

Liu's motive was immediately seen through, and she smiled awkwardly at the two people here and said, "Hey, why are you sitting there? I am an adult who doesn't care about these children's things. I just want to touch them and look at them."

, see if the knot is strong, sit on it and don’t let the children fall..."

As Liu talked, he continued to fumble there pretendingly.

Yang Ruoqing and the third girl looked at each other, and both of them smiled tacitly.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Whatever, I believe Fourth Aunt has sense."

The third girl shook her head helplessly, "My mother, well, I don't blame my father for talking about her. If she were more mature and steady, she wouldn't be like this."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Every carrot and cabbage has its own preferences. The feelings and ways of getting along between the elders are not something that we younger generations can understand and evaluate at will."

"No matter what happens, we will be satisfied if they can always accompany us like this."

The third girl nodded: "That's true. It's impossible for every couple in the world to get along with each other in the same way. Some couples fight and fight for a lifetime, and some treat each other like guests for a lifetime."

Yang Ruoqing added: "In fact, those who fight and fight may even give birth to a large litter of children, giving birth while fighting."

The sisters laughed again.

Yang Ruoqing asked the third girl: "How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?"

Last time, the three girls came back before the Mid-Autumn Festival to have Xiaohei's wedding wine, and then Liu Xueyun hired a boat to take her back, and Tan's family came back.

Liu Xueyun stayed here for less than two days before returning.

"When he left two days ago, he discussed this with me and asked me to stay at my parents' house with peace of mind. After he finishes the errands at hand, he will come to pick us up."

"good!"

"It just so happens that I want to stay at my parents' house for a while. Not only am I worried about my grandma's health, but also the matter of my eldest sister's daughter has not been resolved. There is always something on my mind..."

"Third girl, what about that? I heard from Fourth Aunt before that you had already sent someone to find out the inside story in advance."

"Um."

"How's it going? What did you find out? Why did the girl become so stupid?"

When this was mentioned, the three girls looked really sad.

"I came here today just for this matter. The person I sent to inquire came back this morning."

"According to them, after my eldest sister and Yu Jinbao reconciled, Yu Jinbao's brother and sister took their daughter and moved to the county town."

"Yu Jinbao found a hard-working job in the county town, and his two sisters stayed at home to take care of their daughter."

After the reminder from the third girl, Yang Ruoqing remembered that Yu Jinbao had two sisters, one was Yu Jingui, and the other sister's name had been forgotten.

"Logically speaking, if two aunts take care of the children, nothing will go wrong." Yang Ruoqing pondered.

The third girl said: "It was fine in the first few years. When the child was three years old, Yu Jingui remarried. I heard that the other party was a shopkeeper in the county town. He had some money, but he was about ten years older than Yu Jinbao.

age……"

Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "No wonder my little cousin was depressed at that time. Everyone said that Yu Jingui remarried to a rich man, and that Yu Jingui just disliked my little cousin for having no money..."

The third girl snorted, "Both the Yu brothers and sisters are not good people. Needless to say, Yu Jinbao, that Yu Jingui, our little cousin took the risk to steal the box in my grandma's house in order to marry her!"

Yang Ruoqing also remembered this incident, "When I got married later, she was the first person in our village to ride in a sedan chair. She even got angry when she knocked down the brazier when she entered the house. Even so, our little cousin pampered her and protected her."

Facts have proved that the more such a marriage is, the less likely it is to last.

"After Yu Jingui got married, another three years passed. When my eldest sister's daughter was six or seven years old, Yu Jinbao's little sister also got married."

"That little sister got married to a village over there in Qing'an County. To the outside world, she was married. But on the inside, whether she was married to someone else or sold, or for some other reason, no one can say. All we know is that

The man is Yu Jinbao's friend. He said they met him while drinking and playing cards. He is probably not a good person. The little girl died in childbirth less than a year after we got married."

"After that, my sister's daughters all lived with Yu Jinbao. At this time, Yu Jinbao was taken care of by Yu Jingui's old shopkeeper's brother-in-law, and they also made a little money. After making money, they drifted away. They even bought a house in the county and opened the alley.

I married a woman who sells tofu,"

"That woman must be pretty good-looking. Everyone calls her Doufu Xishi. Others call her a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. This Tofu Xishi is probably the other way around. She is full of bad intentions. She treated my sister after marrying Yu Jinbao.

The children are disgusted with each other, beaten and scolded in all kinds of ways, and are not given food or water. They are not even given shoes in the winter, and the cotton wadding is removed from their cotton-padded jackets!"

Things like children tortured by stepmothers are really common in this era.
