“Daddy, eat your egg!”

Er Ya, holding two red eggs in the corners of her clothes, tiptoed to Gao Jing and Mo shi's presence.

“Father, after eating the eggs, Father will have strength, and can use Father’s big fists to chase away those beggars who bully me and Mother. Father, eat quickly!”

The child's words left Gao Jing feeling deeply uncomfortable.

He reached up and gently touched Er Ya's soft hair. The man who had never liked to cry felt a lump in his throat.

"Father doesn't eat, Er Ya eats, Father isn't hungry." Gao Jing said.

Erya tilted her head, "Father, why aren't you hungry? Father hasn't eaten for several meals. Father eats, father eats until full then he has the strength to fight bad guys."

"My dear girl, just eat it. There are plenty more in the basket. It'll be enough for all of us for the next two or three days," Mo Shi chimed in from the side.

>In a couple of days, it will be the sixth day of the lunar new year. Shops will start opening, and you can buy buns and steamed bread to satisfy your hunger.

>

Besides, if you don't eat, your wounds will take even longer to heal. Just eat! Mrs. Mo urged again.

Over there, Mo's younger brother and sister-in-law also said: "Brother-in-law, just eat it. We counted, there are over thirty eggs here. A few of us won't have to go hungry for the next two or three days."

Gao Jing nodded and took the egg from Er Ya's hand.

Erya was overjoyed and said, "I'll go deliver eggs to the two uncles. They are sick, and eating eggs will make them better, right Mother?"

"Yes, go deliver it quickly," Mo said.

When Gao Jing and his family were enjoying the steaming eggs in the bottom of the bridge, savoring this long-awaited deliciousness and warmth, Yang Ruqing and Luo Fengtang, who had bestowed this warmth upon them, were driving a carriage at top speed on the road to Qingshui Town.

"Aren't you cold? You've been sitting here in the front, blowing in the cold wind all this way." Luofeng Tang turned his head and looked at Yang Ruqing with some concern as he drove.

She put on her cloak, pulling the hood over her head. The white fur lined it, setting off her cheeks which were flushed from the wind, and her eyes looked moist.

Upon hearing his words, she turned her head to look at him and smiled, "The sun was quite strong this morning, and I'm wearing plenty of clothes. I'm not cold at all."

Luo Fengtang didn't believe it and squeezed her hand again.

Well, the soft fingers hidden inside the hand warmer were indeed still warm. However, the water in the hand warmer should have warmed up by now and wouldn't last long.

Luckily, they were almost in sight of Qingshui Town. Once they reached Qingshui Town, they would be home soon.

“This trip, I feel like I gained a lot.” Yang Ruoqing continued.

This is a placeholder for content.

“Oh? Tell me.” Luo Fengtang said.

He still kept one hand gripping the reins, the other holding her hand.

Yes, he was already very skilled at driving horse-drawn carriages and riding horses. In today's terms, he would be a seasoned driver who could handle a vehicle with a single steering wheel.

And the pose is super cool too.

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

“Did you feel a sense of great satisfaction, as if you had achieved a great harvest, because Xu Dakui was punished?” Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruqing nodded: "Of course, although I was a prodigal in Xujia Village, when I think of Xu Da Kui suffering, I feel that the money I spent last night is worth it, and I feel happy!"

"And also, this trip helped the Mo family and Er Ya's family. I think it was very meaningful." she added.

Luo Fengtang also nodded: "That amount of money and eggs, to us, it's nothing. But for the Mo family, it's like a gift from heaven." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing said, "The main reason is that Er Ya has a connection with me. When I saw her, I immediately thought of our daughter."

"Seeing such a cute little girl wandering outside, hungry and cold, I couldn't bear it. I wanted to lend her a hand, at least to let her know that not everyone in the world is bad, there are still some kind people."

Lu Fengtang looked at Yang Ruqing warmly: “I still say the same thing, my dear Ruqing, is actually the kindest person in the world. This doesn’t conflict with the decisive measures used to deal with Xu Dakui and his family.”

Yang Ruqing hugged Luofengtang's arm, leaning her head against his shoulder.

“You'll always be standing silently behind me, supporting and protecting me. Even if I poked a hole in the sky, I feel like you could help me patch it up.” She murmured, her voice filled with immense happiness and security.

"Luo Fengtang let out a low chuckle, "A husband and wife working together can overcome any obstacle. In my heart, Luo Fengtang, I will always remember the two rules you set for me on our wedding night:"

1. The daughter-in-law is always right. 2. If the daughter-in-law is wrong, please refer to point one.

Yang Ruqing is surprised.

"Don't laugh, or I'll punch you with my little fists!" she said jokingly.

"Alright, I'm done teasing you," Luo Fengtang quickly stopped laughing. Although he quite liked his wife punching him with her little fists, that was best done in their own bedroom, with the door closed. Punching and punching until she ended up hitting the pillows.

On this galloping carriage, it's certainly not convenient to be pounded. And when his wife pounded him, she would definitely have to take her hand out of her sleeve.

When the time comes and those delicate white hands are frozen, what can be done?

"To be honest, I saw you whispering to that Mr. Mo the whole way in the carriage. Did you find out where they're from? And why they ended up moving their family to Wanghai County?" Luofeng Tang asked again.

Yang Ruqing thought about it seriously and replied, “Mo Shi is a more cautious person. I asked her twice, but she only said half of what she knew. I guess she has her reasons for not revealing too much.”

"However, from what she and Er Ya said, I also heard a little. Their hometown should be near Tianhai County. Her husband, that is, Er Ya's father, used to be a hunter."

At that time, their family's situation wasn't particularly wealthy, but at least they were well-fed and clothed, and they even had a carriage.

As for why he ended up wandering, Mo didn't say the specific reason. I guess it's probably because he offended someone. Because Tianhai County is now where your Guardian Army is stationed, there haven't been any natural disasters or man-made disasters in the past two years, right?

Luo Fengtang's brows furrowed, "Since more than two years ago, when I was ordered to lead my troops into Tianhai County and engage in a standoff with the Han army across the Tiangong River, always on standby. In these two years, Tianhai County has changed its governor, and almost 60% of the other officials under the governor have also been replaced."

“Having gone through the flames of war, Tianhai County has been undergoing repair and recovery under the leadership of the new county magistrate over the past two years.”

“Our army did not enter the city and will not disturb the civilians. The main force has been stationed in the mountain ranges outside Tianhai County’s city walls, or along the Tongtian River.”

Here is the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Logically, Tianhai County should be a prosperous time with businesses booming and flowers in full bloom. What kind of misfortune befell the Mo family that they had to relocate?” Luo Fengtang shook his head, puzzled by this.
