Old Yang stood up immediately and poured tea for Yang Ruohua and Luo Fengtang from the teacups on the table.

That teacup wasn't inverted, just left open like that.

It is estimated that whoever came would have two teacups brought to them and be offered tea.

Old Yang grabbed a teapot from the edge and poured tea into the two cups with a glug-glug sound.

"When are you getting home?" he asked as he poured tea.

"I got home in the evening yesterday," said Luo Fengtang.

He walked over and placed the gift he brought on the table.

Old Yang glanced at the gifts and nodded, "Yesterday when you guys came back, your grandma and I had already gone to bed early. We didn't know you were back."

Luofeng Tang smiled.

Here, Yang Ruqing came to Tan's side, "Nanny, how are you doing? Are you alright?"

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

Tan also put down her chopsticks, "It's alright, I won't die."

Yang Ruqing's lips twitched.

“Well, if my mother-in-law can still say such outrageous things, then she's truly invincible!” she said.

Old Yang glared at Tan's wife: "You've been drinking a lot of medicine these days, your mind isn't working properly, and you don't even speak coherently. You shouldn't treat her as an equal."

"Come, sit down and have some tea!"

Old Yang greeted Luofeng Tang and Yang Ruqing to sit down. Over there, Tan shi picked up her chopsticks and ate her breakfast in silence.

Lao Yang smiled, sizing up Luofeng Tang and Yang Ruqing, asking about some things in Beijing.

There was no mention of death.

Yang Ruqing naturally didn't ask.

After a while of talking, Tan suddenly interjected.

“I can't die, but your uncle might be in trouble.”

“These words can be said any time in the future. If you have a bit of kindness, go take a look at your uncle in the front yard!” Mrs. Tan said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruqing fell silent.

I really don't want to see him...

At that moment, Luofeng Tang stood up and said: "Well, Qing'er and I were planning to come see all of you elders anyway. Grandma, please continue eating. We'll go visit Uncle for a bit and then head back."

He pulled Yang Ruqing up with his hand.

Here, Lao Yang also stood up and sent the two of them to the door.

“Come back and have tea when you have time.” he said.

Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded, the two went to the front yard together.

The front yard, Yang Hua'an's house.

The door was open, and the sound of Yang Huazhong's voice could be heard from inside.

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

Yang Ruoqing followed behind the people from Luofengtang and entered the room. As soon as she stepped inside, she smelled a peculiar odor.

Besides the smell of medicine, there was also an indescribable stench.

That was a stench of decay, the fetid breath of imminent death, the very essence of mortality.

Perhaps it was because she had a bowl of pan-fried dumplings for breakfast, but as soon as she stepped into the room, Yang Ruqing felt a churning in her stomach at the smell.

"Big brother, Qing'er and Tang YaZi came back especially to see you."

Yang Huazhong addressed Yang Huan, who was lying in bed. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Here, Sun approached Yang Ruqing's side and winked at her.

Yang Ruqing instantly understood the meaning behind her mother's gaze.

This is to tell her and Tang Ya Zi not to go too far ahead, just stand for a while and then leave.

Yang Ruqing returned Sun Shi a reassuring smile.

She and Luofeng Tang walked a few steps to the bedside, their gaze falling on Yang Huainan sitting there.

It's almost summer, but my uncle is still covered under a thick winter quilt.

After three months, he has lost a significant amount of weight.

Originally, it was chubby and white, with even some wrinkles on its face.

Her face, which used to be round, has now become pointed.

The skin on his face hung loose, his complexion pale and sallow. His eyes were sunken, with a red ring around the orbital bone.

When looking at people, their eyes seemed a bit vacant.

“Uncle…”

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

Yang Ruoqing called out from the bed.

Yang Huainan looked at Yang Ruqing and Luo Fengtang, nodding his head: "You're back?"

It's fine when he doesn't speak, but once he opens his mouth, his voice is hoarse and sounds like a completely different person.

"Well, we're back."

Yang Ruqing said, "We brought some food from the capital for you, Uncle. Please don't mind it."

Yang Huai'an shook his head: "I have no appetite, I don't want to eat anything..."

Yang Ruqing said: "You need to eat in order to have the energy, and you'll recover from illness faster that way."

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

Yang Huainan still shook his head.

“Qing’er, you and Tang Ya’zi are back from those big places in the capital.”

"Were the doctors in that place more skilled?"

Yang Huainan leaned there, panting and asking.

"When will we take Uncle to Beijing? Uncle wants to go to Beijing for treatment...cough cough cough..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Huanan started to cough.

That was heart-wrenching, each cry like the cracking thunder during a summer storm. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It was heartbreaking to hear, as if his throat and lungs were about to be coughed out.

"Uncle, you should rest well and recover. I'll come visit you again another day!"

After saying that, Yang Ruqing quickly pulled Luo Fengtang away from the room.

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

Behind them, Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun also didn't dare to stay long. Finding an excuse, they both slipped out.

On the way back, Yang Ruqing walked in front, arm in arm with Mrs. Sun, the two whispering softly to each other.

Luo Fengtang then walked behind Yang Huazhong, the father-in-law and son-in-law chatting as they strolled.

“Mother, where is my second uncle? Has he come back to the village?” she asked.

If my memory serves me right, Uncle Two wanted to marry an older woman from the Goulan courtyard in the county town as a junior wife. Old Yang and his family refused outright.

So he's been fighting with Lao Yang and the others, and didn't even come back for New Year.

He doesn't even go back to the village to celebrate the New Year in January.

He took Yang Yongbai away and didn't even care about Yang Ruolan.

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's question, Sun's smile hesitated for a moment.

"Your second uncle, he never comes back."

>

>"Last time you were very sick, it was when your father and Uncle Five were rushing to build a coffin for you."

Your fourth uncle and Yongjin cousin went to the county town especially, just to get him back.

"As a result, it turned out that he had secretly brought that woman into the house and was living under the same roof with her!" said Mrs. Sun.

"Ah?" Yang Ruqing was surprised.

All of you are in your thirties, almost forty, and still acting like this?

Cohabiting before marriage?

"Isn't this a case of killing first and then reporting it? Second Uncle, you're so bold! What about my grandfather?" she hurriedly asked, more curious about this than anything else.

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

Sun said: "Your grandfather was so angry that he almost died. He brought the village head and your little grandpa to the county town to bring back your second uncle, but he escaped."

"And what happened after that?" Yang Ruqing pressed.

Mrs. Sun said: “What can we do about it now? Your grandfather and the others went to the county town again, and they found out that your second uncle had moved, but they didn't know where he moved to.”

Even Lian Lan can't find your second uncle, and your second uncle doesn't care about your elder sister, Lan'er anymore.

Mrs. Sun let out a heavy sigh.

Yang Ruqing also frowned.

It's no wonder people say that when you have a stepmother, your biological father becomes a stepfather.

Look, this Second Uncle used to treat Lan'er's elder sister like the apple of his eye.

He's having a second spring in his life, he doesn't even care about his daughters anymore.
