Chapter 1969: This is it (fourth update)
Yang Ruoqing couldn’t laugh or cry, and scolded Cao Bamei: “You, you are like rain when you hear the wind, can’t you change your irritable temper?”
Cao Bamei said: "I'm anxious."
I'm so anxious that I wish I could get my wings and go to the county seat right now.
Yang Ruoqing said: "My second brother walks in front, and you follow behind. This is not good. The elders in the family will be more likely to become suspicious."
"Then when do you want us to go to the county seat? I have to follow him quickly and catch him!" Cao Bamei said.
Yang Ruoqing was speechless.
"Tomorrow, it would be best if we go to the county seat tomorrow." She said.
“I’ll leave the second brother alone for a day and let him feel the next person’s situation.”
“I’ll go back and discuss it with Tang Yazi later. We just happen to be going there too. Let's go to the county town with his sworn brother Xu Mang," Yang Ruoqing said.
Hearing these words, Cao Bamei nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement."
"Huh, if he doesn't tell me, I'll go check it out myself and find out what's going on!" Cao Bamei gritted her teeth and said.
Back at his home, Luo Fengtang had already finished practicing his sword. At Yang Huazhong's house, Blacksmith Luo's water tank was full, and now he was carrying water for his own home.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming from the entrance of the village, he stood by the pond and dam with a bucket filled with water, smiling as he watched her approach.
With a full load of water on his shoulders, he stood there relaxedly, without even bending his waist.
Yang Ruoqing also saw him, with a smile in her eyes, and trotted to his side.
"Is it done?" he asked her.
She nodded, glanced at the two women washing clothes by the pond, and said to Luo Fengtang: "Let's go home and talk about it later."
The two of them returned home, and he would The water was poured into the water jar, and then he hurried over to help her light the fire.
She was busy washing rice, picking the cores from red dates, and preparing to make red date porridge in the morning.
"Tangyaozi, didn't you say you haven't been to Brother Xu Mang's house for a long time? Why don't we go there tomorrow? I've already made an agreement with Bamei," she said.
Luo Fengtang said: "It's okay to go tomorrow. We'll stay in the county for three or two days. When we get back, it's time to plant early rice seedlings. Then we won't have time to move around."
Yang Ruoqing hooked up. A smile on his lips, " Then let's prepare the things we want to bring to Brother Xu Mang and the others today."
"This evening, I will pick up Bamei and Xiuxiu and come over to our house to sleep. We will stay together tomorrow morning. Let’s go to the county seat,” she said.
Luo Fengtang asked: "What? The second brother went to the county seat, but the eighth sister and Xiuxiu are still in the village?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Well, isn't this a quarrel?"
Luo Fengtang frowned, "That's not right, the couple didn't have an overnight feud, what's going on with them?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled, "Don't you want to inquire? Hahaha, I finally couldn't help it anymore. Right?"
Luo Fengtang grinned sheepishly, "I think they seem to be getting more and more noisy, so I asked."
Yang Ruoqing coughed lightly and took out the rice. Put it into the pot with the seedless red dates, add water, cover the pot and start cooking.
Then, she came to Luo Fengtang, sat side by side with him on the rolling stone at the entrance of the stove, and told him the whole story of the incident between Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei in a concise and concise manner.
Even the incident about Chen Jinhong blocking the knife for Yang Yongjin last time was also mentioned.
After finishing speaking, Luo Fengtang fell silent, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything. After a while, Luo Fengtang spoke up.
"I have had quite a lot of dealings with my second brother. From my perspective as a man, I don't think my second brother has done anything wrong to my eighth sister," he said.
"Well, what next?" Yang Ruoqing held her knees with her hands and looked at him sideways.
"Since he is not afraid of slanting shadows, why didn't he tell Bamei about the patch?" "Since he cares about Bamei, why can't he bear to ask her to guess like this? To be anxious?" She was very unhappy. untie.
If you like and care, you will do it in this hurtful way.
Then she would rather not.
Luo Fengtang said: "The second brother is defending someone, and that person is definitely not Chen Jinhong, it should be your third brother."
"Huh?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised.
What does this have to do with my third cousin?
"It doesn't sound very complicated. I feel like my extremely smart brain is not working very well."
She smiled and raised her finger to her head.
Luo Fengtang also smiled, "After we go to the county town tomorrow, how do you plan to help Bamei figure out the truth of the matter?"
When asked about this, Yang Ruoqing thought for a while and said: "I plan to get them first The mother and daughter were placed in an inn near Tianxiang Tower. "
"Then I went to the second brother on the pretext of inspecting the restaurant and told him to go back to pick up Bamei and Bamei in two days. The children are requested by the elders in the family. "
"If we give this time limit, then the second brother and the people he protects will definitely take some actions within these two days."
< br>"Because the eighth sister will be brought to the county town soon. After arriving, it will be inconvenient if the second brother is really up to something. So he will definitely take action in the next two days."
"As for us, we'll just hide in the dark, wait and watch, the truth will definitely come out!" she said.
Then he held his arm: "What do you think of my idea?"
Luo Fengtang gave her a thumbs up: "My Qinger, this is it!"
>
Yang Ruoqing The corners of her lips raised, "Hey, not to mention that the eighth sister can't sleep due to speculation, I am also very anxious, I really want to know what is going on with the second brother as soon as possible!"
Hearing this Luo Fengtang couldn't help laughing at the childish words.
After breakfast, Luo Fengtang went to the backyard to take care of the carriage during the day.
Smooth the horse's hair, feed the horse with fodder, check and repair the carriage to ensure a safe and smooth journey tomorrow.
And Yang Ruoqing was busy packing the gifts for Xu Mang and the others.
They were in the county town and had no fields or crops. The family's expenses all depended on brother Xu Mang alone.
Although he has some experience in both black and white, he also partners with others to do a small business, and his income is pretty good.
But for people who hang out outside, their expenses are not low.
Everything in the house is left to the sister-in-law. On the one hand, the sister-in-law has to take care of the children and the elderly, and on the other hand, she has to do some private work outside to supplement the family income.
So on this trip, Yang Ruoqing packed fifty kilograms of newly ground wheat flour this year.
Fifty kilograms of rice and thirty kilograms of rapeseed oil.
In addition, the chicken and the duck each caught a live one and brought it to the children of the Xu family to beat teeth as a sacrifice.
A bamboo basket full of fresh eggs, wild mushrooms, tea, pickles, chili sauce, etc. were all brought with me.
It is estimated that one carriage is not enough to go to the county seat, so a carriage will be needed to carry these things.
At that time, we will add another car to carry people.
I won’t take the baby with me because we can only stay in the county for two days at most and we will be back in two days.
In the evening, Cao Bamei came over with Xiuxiu. Everything was ready and waiting to set off tomorrow.
