Yang Ruqing stepped into the room.

"Mo Shi, Er Ya." She smiled gently at the mother and daughter at the table and greeted them.

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

Upon seeing Yang Ruqing enter, Er Ya's eyes lit up as if she had seen something delicious.

The little girl hopped off the stool and came to Yang Ruqing's side, tilting her head and softly calling out, "Aunt Luo."

"Good girl," Yang Ruqing reached out and rubbed Erya's head, her gaze then falling on Mo Shi who had also stood up.

“Have you been here for a long time?” Yang Ruoheng asked.

Er Ya snatched the words, "Mama, we've been here since dawn..."

"Nonsense!" Mo shi hurriedly stopped Er ya's words.

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

She chuckled with Yang Ruqing and said, “We’ve only been here for a little while. The proprietress of this restaurant said that Madam Luo hasn't woken up yet, so she asked us to come here and wait for you. She was very polite and even brought us so much food.”

Following Mo's words, Yang Ruqing glanced at the table. There was congee, steamed buns with flowers, and a basket of xiaolongbao.

But these dumplings are all cold now, and there's a layer of congealed oil underneath the steamed buns.

It can be seen that the mother and daughter arrived here, at the very least, for a while.

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

Yang Ruqing withdrew her gaze and gave Mo Shi a warm smile: "My sister-in-law is the proprietress, and my second brother is the manager here."

"Oh…" Mo shi nodded, it turned out that Mrs. Luo was related to the manager of this big restaurant. No wonder.

"Come and sit down." Yang Ruqing invited Mo Shi and Er Ya to sit down again.

Mo Shi had just sat down when he wanted to tell Yang Ruqing about something. Yang Ruqing said, "Don't rush to talk about things."

Then, she clapped her hands, and two shop assistants immediately came in from outside.

“Take these away and bring some fresh ones.” Yang Ruohong ordered.

Two men quickly and efficiently cleared everything off the table.

Mo Shi owed his body, and then said to Yang Ruqing: "We had eaten when we came here, we're not hungry, there's no need to work so hard...glug glug..."

Before Mo's words could finish, her stomach let out two feeble growls.

She awkwardly covered her stomach, her face flushed red.

Yang Ruqing pretended not to hear, smiling and saying, "I haven't eaten yet, so you guys can keep me company for a bit more. It's no fun eating alone."

Having finished speaking, she turned her head and whispered to Er Ya.

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

Mo Shi looked at Yang Ruocheng's gentle and kind profile, burying his gratitude in his heart.

“Madam Luo, the reason I came to see you today is because last night someone suddenly arrived from the Li family, claiming to be the steward of the Li family.”

Mo leaned forward, following Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow, signaling Mo Shi to continue.

Mo said, "The steward of the Li family not only brought the wages for Er Ya's father, my brother, and my two younger uncles for these past few days, but also brought a lot of supplements, saying they were to help Er Ya's father and them replenish their bodies."

“His attitude was like he’d become a different person. After he left, my father and I discussed it here. My father said, 'About the money and tonic, should we accept them? I think you should ask Madam Luo directly.'"

Yesterday, Yang Ruohong came up with an idea before leaving with the Mo family.

The idea is to have Mo's brothers go with Yang Ruqing to Xu Mang's place. Have Mo's brothers lead the way, and Xu Mang helps them get all their wages back.

Yang Ruqing said, "How much money did Li the Steward send in total?"

Mo Shi said: "The four people's ten days of wages totaled eight hundred wen, and they also took out another five hundred wen, saying it was a subsidy for the overtime work."

“The supplements consist of two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, two packs of herbs for treating bruises and sprains, one pack of red sugar, one pack of red dates, three kilograms of pork belly, and a basket of eggs.”

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

When speaking of these things, Mo was very excited.

Obviously, these things were an unexpected fortune for Mo and his family, bringing them surprise and hope in their difficulties.

Yang Ruqing listened and nodded, "This money and things are all yours by right. You can rest assured and take them."

“If we really take it, what if that Mr. Li comes back to find trouble with us and asks us to retaliate even more fiercely?” Mo shi was still a little worried.

Yang Ruqing smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here. Even if Li Laoye had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare!"

Mo Shi was taken aback and looked at Yang Ruoqing again.

Although the woman before him was slender and beautiful, her determined tone, calm eyes, and confident smile made Mo feel both mysterious and grounded.

Mo Shi stood up, pretending to kneel before Yang Ruoqing, but Yang Ruoqing, quick as a flash, grabbed her.

“Just sit and talk. We don’t do these kneeling and bowing things.” Yang Ruqing said, pressing Mo Shi to make her sit back down again.

At this moment, the two porters who had previously taken away the food returned, carrying trays laden with steaming hot dishes.

Yang Ruqing and Mo shi didn't speak. Including Er Ya, all three pairs of eyes were fixed on the table.

Steaming hot soup dumplings, the aroma wafting out with visible crystal shrimp inside.

Tea eggs with cracked shells, crispy golden spring rolls, red date sticky rice cake, red sugar steamed cake, and three bowls of sweet corn porridge.

Please enjoy your meal.

Two men bowed and exited the room. When only three people remained, Er Ya was already on her third swallow of saliva.

She stared at Mo Shi, and found that her own mother was also staring blankly at the full table of food.

Er Ya again cunningly looked towards Yang Ruohqing.

Yang Ruqing smiled gently at Er Ya, "There are no outsiders here, Er Ya, open your belly and eat."

Er Ya was suddenly excited. She had been waiting all morning for this very sentence!

The little girl grabbed her chopsticks, stood up on tiptoes, and stretched out her arm to pick up the crystal shrimp dumplings.

The bottom of the dumplings is a bit sticky, and the little girl's arm isn't long enough, so it takes some effort to pinch them together.

Yang Ruqing quickly clipped one for her and put it on a small dish in front of her.

“Thank you, Mrs. Luo,” Er Ya didn’t forget to say her thanks.

Yang Ruqing smiled and winked at her: "Eat it!"

Erya nodded and quickly buried her head down, completely immersing herself in her own delicious world.

Here, Yang Ruqing saw Mo's absent-minded look and said, "What are you spacing out for? Eat some too!"

>

Mo Shi regained her composure, her eyes reddened, and she smiled gratefully at Yang Ruqing. Then she also picked up her chopsticks, took a spring roll and nibbled lightly...

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Yang Ruqing sent them from the back yard of the restaurant to the street.

Words of gratitude are plentiful, and the Mo family has already said more than enough. In truth, with such a great debt of kindness, any words of thanks seem pale and inadequate.

Both Mo Shi and Gao Jing knew what was going on, so the couple had already discussed it. When Gao Jing's leg recovered, they would come back to repay Yang Ruqing, doing whatever she asked, even cleaning up her latrines!
