Because she still had Cao Baimei and Yang Yongjin in her mind, Yang Ruqing woke up early the next morning.

It turned out that she woke up at the same time as Luofeng Tang again. Not only was he surprised, but she herself almost gave herself a thumbs-up.

"Why are you up so early? Go back to sleep for a while," he said.

Last night I was too rough with her, making her beg for mercy several times. She must be exhausted.

"It's still early, what are you up to?" he asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "I want to go into the village to see my sister-in-law and the others. They had an argument yesterday, I want to see how they are doing."

Luo Fengtang was covered in black lines, this girl, she still wants to pay attention to the follow-up progress of the incident...

"Seems like you're not tired at all. Well, let's continue tonight." A hint of a wicked smile played on his lips.

Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes at him and, after putting on her shoes, dashed into the bathroom like a gust of wind.

He came out very quickly, “My second brother said he’s going back to the county today, I'll go take a look, and be right back.”

By the time the last word reached his ears, she had already run out of the small courtyard.

Luò Fēng Tǎng stood by the window, looking at her retreating figure, and couldn't help but smile.

This girl...

He also turned around and went back to the washroom, starting to brush his teeth and wash his face. Then he would go to practice martial arts, fetching water...

Yang Ruqing ran to the old house in one breath. The door of the old house was already open.

This door is opened very early every day.

Because the old woman has to get up before dawn every day and go to the pond at the village entrance in the dark to wash her clothes.

After washing the clothes, I returned home with Fu'er and Hong'er, the two children. During the day, I was too busy to spare any time, so I could only do things before dawn.

To sum it up, it's quite a hardship.

Yang Ruqing thought to herself, if it weren't for the fact that Fu'er's mother was Qian Shi, she would really be willing to lend a hand.

It's a pity, this matter is an obstacle that can't be overcome.

When she came to her senses, she found herself standing at the door of Yang Yongjin and Cao Baimei's house.

The door, it was ajar.

"Huh? Are you all really up?"

Yang Ruqing mumbled to herself and softly called out into the room: "Second brother, eighth sister, are you up yet?"

"Qinger, come in."

>

The voice of Cao Baimei came from inside the room.

Yang Ruqing immediately pushed the door open and entered the room. The windows were closed, making it dim inside.

Caobaimei sat on the edge of the bed with disheveled hair, and she didn't say a word. Yang Ruqing swept her eyes around but couldn't find Yang Yongjin's figure.

"What's going on? Did my second brother go to the toilet, or did he go to the county town?" she asked.

Because Xiu Xiu was still sleeping in bed, the voice was kept very low.

Cao Bamie said, "We're going back to the county town."

>

"Then why didn't you and Xiu Xiu go with them?" Yang Ruqing asked again, her brows furrowed.

“Didn't you reach an agreement last night?” she continued to ask.

Cao Bamie shook her head gently, "I listened to you and went to talk to him sincerely, but he stuttered and changed the subject, refusing to talk to me directly."

“In the end, I wore him down until he finally managed to utter a single sentence.” she said.

"What are you talking about?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Cao Baimei said: "He just told me not to be suspicious, it's just a piece of clothing and a patch."

"He also told me that in his life, I'm his only wife and he wouldn't marry another woman, so I can rest assured," she said.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Ruqing's face broke into a meaningful smile.

>

“Since my second brother has already made such a promise to you, then that’s best. Why don’t you go to the county town with him?” she asked.

Cao Baimei said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I have some feelings in my heart, and I just don't want to go."

"I just don't understand, if he could guarantee me like that, why wouldn't he tell me what this patch is all about?"

What is he trying to hide? What is he trying to protect?

Speaking of this, Cao Baimei raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eye.

“I couldn't sleep all night, and I knew he wasn't either. We just lay there, not speaking a word the whole night.”

"So, before dawn broke, he left."

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

He knew I was bluffing, didn't say much, just left like that. I wasn't bothered to see him off, nor would I bother cleaning up after him.

"Just let the woman in the county town clean up after him."

"At this point, Cao Baimei sighed and shook her head again."

Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes and said, "Look at you, playing childish again. This isn't good."

Cao Baimei snorted, "The more he refuses to tell me who sewed him up, the more I want to know. We've been together for years, how could he not understand my personality?"

“If he has to treat me this way, I'm going to keep arguing with him, no matter what.”

“Whenever he’s willing to tell me the truth, that’s when I’ll go back to the county. Let's see who gives in first.” she added.

>

Yang Ruqing also found a place to sit down.

"If I were to say, if you want to gamble, and put some pressure on my second brother, I agree." Yang Ruoqing said.

“But, I still think you'd rather go to the county town than sulk at home like this.”

"Why do you say that? Let me analyze it for you," Yang Ruohua said.

"Firstly, you're staying at home. Later on, my grandma and the others will ask you all sorts of questions. You'll have to come up with a bunch of excuses to dodge them." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“You're tired, everyone is worried about you, oh well that's guessing,”

"As for my second older brother, he's a man running a pub in the county town, which is stressful enough on its own."

"When I'm tired, I also hope there's a woman around to care and check on me."

At this time, having you by my side, your feelings will deepen.

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

"If you weren't here, wouldn't that just give those with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage?"

"Aren't you just falling right into their trap?"

After hearing Yang Ruqing's analysis, Cao Bamai was stunned.

>

A sense of crisis surged over me once again.

"Qing'er, what should I do? Should I chase after your second brother right now? No, no, no, that won't do! If I did that, I wouldn't have any say in anything from now on!" Cao Bajie said.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up, "I suddenly have a good idea. It can keep our elders from worrying about you, and it can also be petty and deliberately ignore my second brother for a few days."

“At the same time, it also prevents those with ill intentions from getting close to my second brother.”

>

"The most important thing is, we can still rely on ourselves to find out my second brother's hardship, and who sewed that patch!" Yang Ruqing said.

After hearing Yang Ruohua's words, Cao Baimei stood up quietly.

"What's a good idea? Come on, tell me!" she said.

Yang Ruqing raised her hand and made a 'hush' gesture to her. Then, she pulled Cao Baimei aside and whispered a few words in her ear.

Cao Baimei's eyes lit up instantly.

"Can this idea really work?" she asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "It should work, but I'll have to trouble you for a few days."

Cao Baimei nodded forcefully: "Good, I'll get ready now. When do we set off for the county?"
