Because Qing'er's heartache, is something that no language can comfort.

"You don't need to comfort me, I'm fine," Yang Ruqing said, as if she had guessed Zhao Liuer's hesitation.

>

"You feed Hong'er first, I'll go to the backyard and send the rice porridge to grandma and them, then come back to see you later." she added.

Zhao Liu'er nodded and watched Yang Ruoqing leave.

>

Yang Ruqing came to the east room in the backyard and explained her intentions to Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi.

Because of the incident of someone breaking in and stealing money earlier, and also knocking out Jin, the atmosphere in the east room was a bit low and oppressive.

Old Yang and Tan sat face to face at the table, one puffing on a cigarette, the other muttering to himself.

>

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Lao Yang directly took out the dry tobacco pipe from his mouth and said: "Tell my wife that we thank her. She always thinks of us two old folks when eating."

Yang Ruqing nodded, turned to leave, and was stopped by Lao Yang.

“Qing’er, what do you think, who did this today?” he asked.

Yang Ruqing was stunned for a moment, shaking her head. "It's hard to say."

Lao Yangtou said, "Then what do you think, outsider or insider?"

Yang Ruqing smiled, "It's hard to say, after all, there's no concrete evidence."

Old Yang sighed and put his cigarette back in his mouth.

Tan Shi spoke up: "How could there be such an arrogant and lawless thief? In my opinion, it's most likely an insider!"

>

Lao Yang glared at Tan, even though she couldn't see. But Lao Yang’s glare was still quite intense.

“What are you talking about? There has never been someone like that in our Yang family!” Old Yang said.

"The absence of grandchildren doesn't mean there aren't any capable people among those outsiders," Tan said directly.

The person living across the street is always unclean.

"Laosi ran off for half a year and didn't send back even half a copper coin. As the New Year approached, who knows if that lazy and gluttonous wife wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and resort to the old ways again."

“She’s been stealing both the eggs and the chickens, so this silver? Well, she must have stolen it! She’s the only one who could have!” said Tan.

Lao Yangtou said: "Speaking and doing things must be based on evidence, not suspicion."

Tan said, "Those things that happened before are the evidence. Qing'er, you say I'm right, don't you?"

Yang Ruqing said, "This Fourth Aunt, her hands and feet are indeed not very clean, but this time, I personally feel that it shouldn't be her."

"Huh? Are you helping her whitewash?" Tan asked in surprise.

"She used to steal eggs and lard from your three households, and you even helped her cover it up!" Mrs. Tan said angrily.

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "Aunt Four's previous appearance didn't look like someone who was guilty. I could tell it wasn't her." Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text! ?

And, the old lady didn't even look at Aunt Four. If it was really Aunt Four who pushed her, their eyes and expressions would have been abnormal.

"I still think she's like a thief!" said Tan with a snort.

Here, Lao Yang took over the conversation, "Qinger, what do you think we should do about this?"

Yang Ruqing said, "That depends on what you plan to do."

"What do you mean?" the old man asked.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "If Grandpa wants to turn a big deal into a small one, and a small one into nothing, then that's it."

"Remind everyone to close their doors and windows and be careful with their valuables. As for the two taels of silver from Big Brother's side, just consider it bad luck."

"If Grandpa really wants to find that person, we could set a trap and make them show themselves."

“However, Grandpa had mentally prepared himself, because one couldn’t be sure that the person wasn’t an inside traitor as Nanny said, not an outsider.”

"If that were the case, it wouldn't look very good, so let's see what Grandpa thinks." Yang Ruqing said.

After hearing these words, Old Yang fell silent for a moment.

>

Then, he finally spoke.

"Forget it, forget it. This time I won't investigate further. Let me remind everyone, and also that person, if there's another time, things will really get ugly!" he said.

Yang Ruqing pursed her lips and guessed that Old Yang, who always prided himself on his appearance, would definitely give such an answer.

Leaving the east room, I returned to the front yard.

Zhao Liuer's mood had improved a lot, and she was tidying up the messy room.

Hong'er sat on the bed, eating a piece of snack in her hand.

Yang Ruqing and Zhao Liuer chatted for a few words casually, then left. As they passed by the Jin family's house, the door was open.

>

She glanced inside and saw Jin sitting on a stool, her eyes fixed straight ahead, as if she hadn't come to her senses.

Yang Yongxian stood behind Jin Shi, holding a bottle of medicinal powder in his hand, applying it to Jin Shi's head.

Yang Ruqing glanced inside again, but didn't see Yang Yongqing.

She glanced again at Yang Yongqing's room, the door was locked, so he must not be in there.

Where would you go this morning?

A trace of doubt flashed across Yang Ruqing's eyes.

Upon returning home, I discovered that Sun Shi had not yet eaten porridge either.

"Mother, why haven't you eaten yet?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Sun said, "I'm afraid Xiaonian will be hungry, so I filled him a bowl first. I'll wait for you and your father to come back and eat together."

“Has my father returned yet?” Yang Ruqing asked.

Mrs. Sun said, "I sent it to your aunt's place, she is estimated to be back soon."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yang Huazhong strode in from outside, humming a little tune and looking very pleased.

“Well, your father is back, let's start eating.” Mrs. Sun said.

Xiaohua and Xiaoduo sisters sent Laba porridge to Xiao Yaxue and Yang Ruolan. Sun Shi gave it to Lao Luo's family and Tuo Ba Xian.

Right now, it's almost time to finish sending things. Everyone is relaxed and has started enjoying themselves.

Yang Ruqing told Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi about what happened at the old house before.

"What? There's such a thing?" Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun were astonished.

Yang Ruqing nodded, "Grandpa told everyone to be more careful and vigilant."

Yang Huazhong frowned and remained silent.

Sun was both frightened and curious.

“Qinger, are there people who suspect us?” she asked.

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "The old woman definitely knows, but she's not willing to give a hint."

Even if she were deaf and mute, if she was willing, she could still tell everyone who pushed her down.

The person who pushed her must be the one who stole Zhao Liuer's silver.

>

“My grandparents also asked me this before, but I didn’t say anything because there was no evidence.” Yang Ruqing continued.

"But actually, I think there's one person who is very suspicious," she said.

"Which one?" Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked.

Yang Ruqing said, “Little cousin Yang Yongqing.”

"Ah?" Mrs. Sun was taken aback, her mouth agape.

"Wouldn't that be...?" the woman asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "There's no evidence, but I have a feeling it was him. Otherwise, the auntie wouldn't defend him so fiercely and refuse to say who pushed her!"

“Qing’er is right.” Yang Huazhong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"The young man has been acting strangely lately. He doesn't go to the tavern to work as he should, and he runs home every few days."
