As Brother Yang spoke, he managed to bring the four children out of the carriage. Then, he nodded at Xiaoguo and brought Mrs. Yang and the kids home.
The entire family looked very tired. Xiaoguo watched them enter the house before heading home worriedly.
Mrs Yang went home and packed up briefly before going over to look for Xiaoguo. Not that she was tired but she had a lot to get off her chest.
Xiaoguo felt terrible as she looked at the woman who was sobbing. She had never seen Mrs Yang looking so aggrieved before.
“What kind of person is my sister-in-law? She actually ran away with another man, and my brother broke his leg because of her. My mother and father are also bedridden, and the two children are so young. How could she have the heart to do this!’”
The more Mrs Yang spoke, the angrier she became. When her maternal family sent someone to summon her, they didn’t tell her the truth. They only told her that her parents missed her and wanted her to go home and visit them.
And so she happily brought her family back for a visit, the house no longer looked like a home. It was a complete mess. The baby was crying, her brother was crying, and her father and mother were also lying in bed and crying.
…..
Recalling that scene now still made her feel frustrated.
Xiaoguo patted her back comfortingly to calm her down.
Mrs Yang’s sister-in-law’s surname was Sun, and her brother’s nickname was Da Chun. She could vaguely remember meeting the couple at the full month celebration of the twins. The woman looked mean and spoke in an unpleasant manner. The man, on the other hand, was honest and looked like a decent person.
Mrs Yang’s sister-in-law had somehow managed to hook up with a hooligan in the village. She was already in her thirties, but she was still easily duped like a girl in her twenties. To think that she planned to abandon her child and husband, and even thought of running away with that hooligan.
Not only that, she also looted all the money from her family, planning to take it with her. Fortunately, Da Chun found out and secretly followed the couple to their meeting place.
The hooligan was waiting at the entrance of the village with a horse-drawn carriage. As soon as the two of them met, Da Chun rushed forward in rage. Before the two of them could react, he snatched the money pouch and clung onto it with all his might, hiding it in his arms. He refused to let go, even when they beat him up, leaving the unscrupulous couple with no choice.
During the scuffle, the frightened horse was startled and stood up suddenly. Fortunately, Da Chun reacted in time and his leg was not completely broken, but he had to recuperate for a period of time to recover from his injury.
Da Chun was not foolish either. He had informed his family members before leaving the house. When his parents arrived with the other villagers, they found their son lying on the ground moaning in pain. The old couple panicked and immediately rushed over to beat up the two culprits.
When the adulterous couple saw the villagers running over with hoes and wooden sticks, they were scared out of their wits. In their panic, they tried to escape, but their legs were being held back. In desperation, they grabbed a rock and started hitting the elderly couple who were holding their legs. They didn’t know how many times they hit the two seniors, but they eventually broke free and hurriedly drove away in the horse-drawn carriage, leaving behind the silver they had been coveting.
After the villagers arrived, they hastily carried the elderly couple who was badly injured and the unconscious Da Chun, to the village doctor’s house.
Fortunately, the three of them only had superficial injuries which did not pose any danger to their lives. They just needed some time to recuperate.
The villagers could only take care of Mrs Yang’s family for a short while, since they all had their own chores to do. By the next day, they got someone to summon Mrs Yang to come home. Afraid that she would feel burdened and refuse to come, they told her a lie.
Mrs Yang went and stayed there for at least half a year. When Da Chun and her parents were almost recovered, it was already time for the summer grain harvest. The three recovering patients could not start working yet, so Mrs. Yang and Yang Feng planted the crops before leaving for home.
“… Our Xiaohua and Xiaohu have suffered. They’re still children. During this time, not only did they have to look after our twins, they also had to take care of the two little ones over there…”
At the mention of her own children, Mrs Yang felt sorry for them. That woman had given birth late. The eldest child had not even been weaned for a year, and she chose to run away just like that.
“If I see her, I’ll strangle her to death!”
Mrs. Yang was clearly furious. Xiaoguo could hear her molars grinding against each other.
“Alright, don’t be angry. I don’t think she’ll stay happy for long,”
Xiaoguo placed the sliced apples in front of her and spoke softly.
“How do you know?” Yang’s sister-in-law asked with a curious expression before exhaling heavily. “Yeah, she’s bound to be punished by the heavens!”
Xiaoguo smiled and continued, “I think that thug was only after your brother’s money when he got involved with your sister-in-law, or rather, that woman.”
When Mrs Yang heard the words “your sister-in-law”, she almost felt sickened. Upon hearing Xiaoguo correct herself, she felt much better.
She was also drawn to what Xiaoguo just said. Thinking about it carefully, the two of them had hooked up at the same time that her brother had received a huge sum of money. That hooligan was jobless and had all sorts of vices. He must be up to no good. Now that they didn’t get their hands on the money, would that bastard still butter up that silly woman?
The answer was obvious.
The two of them smiled as they exchanged glances. They had obviously thought of the same thing.
As predicted, Mrs. Yang’s sister-in-law was soon sold by her detestable lover, and she wandered from place to place, living in unspeakable misery. She spent the rest of her life in endless pain, regrets, and fear. But that is a story for another time…
Mrs Yang wiped her snot forcefully and patted her chest. She said happily, “I’ve been feeling so miserable these past few days. Now, I feel so much better!”
Xiaoguo picked up a piece of apple and handed it to her. Mrs Yang took a bite and quickly regained her vitality.
She sized Xiaoguo up and teased her, “You’re moving too fast. I haven’t seen you for a while and you got pregnant just like that?”
Xiaoguo blushed as she tried to catch up with her train of thoughts. She really felt a little embarrassed to hear Mrs. Yang teasing her like that.
Looking at Mrs Yang, who was winking at her, Xiaoguo blushed and replied in a barely audible voice, “Hmm…”
Mrs. Yang saw her reaction and decided not to tease her any further. She laughed and said, “Your belly looks quite heavy. Could it be twins?”
Before Xiaoguo could speak, she smiled happily. “It would be great if you have twins, best if they are both girls. Then I would have two daughters-in-law.”
When Xiaoguo heard this, she touched her stomach and said, “Whether it’s twins, just one baby, boy or girl, it doesn’t matter.”
Mrs. Yang saw the happy expression on her face and also felt happy for her. She looked at the neatly arranged hay in the corner of the yard and asked, “Is Danhe at home?”
“He just left for the capital. He has stayed with me for quite some time. There is a lot of work waiting for him in the capital. He has gone back and will return when he’s done.”
When Xiaoguo mentioned him, her face was filled with happiness.
“You look good. Danhe has taken good care of you. Do you have any discomfort in your legs?”
Mrs Yang remembered the time when Xiaoguo was pregnant with Zhuang Zhuang, her legs often ached badly at night. She had to use a hot towel to soothe her legs every day. Even so, it didn’t solve the problem. It was still so painful that she had problems falling asleep at night.
“They are fine. Jiang Danhe gives me a foot massage every night.”
Speaking of this, Xiaoguo felt a little guilty. Jiang Danhe had lost weight because of her pregnancy, whereas she had gained a lot of weight. Whenever she tried to do something by herself so that he could rest, she would receive strong objections and a string of doting criticisms.
He said that the baby belonged to the two of them. If she was feeling so uncomfortable, how could he rest? When Zhuangzhuang was born, he wasn’t around, and that was enough for him to feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Xiaoguo did not tell Mrs. Yang these words, in case she started teasing her again.
“Aiyo… Aiyo…”
Mrs. Yang exclaimed in envy. “I didn’t expect Danhe to be so attentive and thoughtful in this aspect.”
Xiaoguo smiled. It was true that Jiang Danhe was very attentive. Since she became pregnant, he took care of her so well that she didn’t have a chance to ask for anything. He was always around to solve all her problems.
When she was hungry, the food was ready; just when she was feeling sleepy, the bed was made; just when she needed a hot towel, it was already prepared…
All she needed was to eat, drink, and sleep. Everything was well provided for her..
