Chapter 3208: Heart-Pounding Fear

ater, let's take her for a walk.""Well then, where to Your hometown or to the village for some fun" she asked.Yang Ruqing thought for a moment and said, "I want to take her to the headland at the sout..."Aunt, has my mother been crying all day these past few days Looking at her like this, she's practically a shadow of herself."

In the room, Yang Ruqing looked at Sun Shi who was busy preparing washing water for her, and couldn't help but ask her elder sister-in-law beside her.

"Don't mention it, your mother has really suffered these past few days, she almost lost her life..."

>

"What"

Yang Ruqing was so astonished that she abruptly stood up.

Sun shi hurriedly said to Da Sun shi, "Sister, don't talk nonsense..."

Yang Ruqing said, "Mother, don't stop my aunt. I have to know, otherwise, I won't feel at ease."

Then, Yang Ruohong asked Dà Sūn's wife, "Auntie, please continue. What happened to my mother"

Dà Sūn shì was about to speak, when Sūn shì spoke again.

"If you really want to know, I'd better tell you myself,"

Mrs. Sun came to Yang Ruqing's side and handed her the wrung-out handkerchief so she could wipe the sweat from her face.

Yang Ruqing took the handkerchief but had no heart to wipe her face, her questioning gaze following Mrs. Sun.

“Mother, hurry up and tell me.” she urged.

Sun smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. The day you left, I went to the mountain stream to wash clothes. The stones there were a bit loose, and I accidentally fell into the ditch."

"That's it"

Seeing that Sun was no longer speaking, Yang Ruqing asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing had seen the ditch behind Sun's family. The water wasn't deep, and it was estimated that Mrs. Sun standing inside to wash her clothes would only reach her knee-high position. There wouldn't be much danger to her life.

Yang Ruqing believed that her maternal aunt wouldn't exaggerate, so it must be Sun who had concealed something.

"Well, that's all," replied Mrs. Sun.

"Wipe your face quickly, it's covered in sweat." Mrs. Sun added.

Yet Yang Ruqing did not wipe it away, looking at Dà Sūn: “Auntie, my mother didn't say, you continue.”

Old Mrs. Sun had been waiting for this sentence a long time, and she looked at Mrs. Sun with a hint of reproach: "You always report good news but not bad news. How can you let the children rest assured"

"If you don't say it, I will."

“When your mother fell into the gutter, it wasn't a big deal. She just got up.”

But unfortunately, he startled a large python in the reeds by the water!

“A giant python” Yang Ruqing’s eyes widened in surprise as she took a sharp intake of breath.

"How big was the python" she asked again.

Mrs. Sun shook her head, still a bit afraid, "I didn't look closely, I dare not look."

Dàsun indicated with her hands, saying: "I don't know for sure either. But according to Cuier's mother, it would be about as long as two shoulder poles stretched out and roughly as thick as your arm."

Yang Ruqing's brow furrowed.

She couldn't help but remember many years ago when she and Tang YaZi went deep into the Meng Niu Mountain to a valley shaped like a gourd.

Please let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

There, they saw a giant python. After a fierce fight, the two of them killed it. As a result, they cut open the python's belly and found a rotten, unrecognizable adult man inside.

An adult man still carried a bag, inside which were tattered pieces of clothing and thirty taels of silver ingots. It was probably the belongings of a former merchant who had been unfortunate enough to be swallowed by a python.

They buried the merchant, and kept thirty taels of silver. This was Yang Ruqing's first pot of gold for business.

Her thoughts returned, Yang Ruqing put down the handkerchief in her hand and took Sun's hands, examining her up and down carefully, both nervous and afraid.

"If that python got angry, it could easily swallow you whole." Yang Ruqing said.

“What happened afterward Did you get hurt, ma'am” She asked while looking up and down.

Sun Shi's loving smile, hurriedly said: "You grandma bless, more thanks to Cui'er's mother, I unharmed, Qing'er you do not worry."

“Liu Daniu” Yang Ruqing asked in surprise.

Sun nodded, "Yes, just as you said, when Liu's mother went to find me at the ditch, she saw I was still dizzy from this morning and didn't feel comfortable letting me wash clothes so she left."

"If she hadn't arrived in time and thrown a large stone that hit the snake’s vital spot, I probably wouldn't have been able to climb out of the ditch."

Hearing this, Yang Ruohua's heart, which had just let go a little, rose again.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could imagine the thrilling scene. If someone hadn't run fast enough, the python would have whipped its tail around and entangled them. Then, its massive jaws would have come down, and even a cow would have been sucked into its stomach by the powerful force.

Life or death, sometimes it's all decided in a single moment.

Thinking that she had almost lost her mother, Yang Ruqing felt a chill run down her spine.

"Mother, don't scare me like that, Qing'er is so afraid!"

Yang Ruqing couldn't help herself, she hugged Sun tightly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

She used to be a fearless person, now she is afraid.

Now she has something she cares about, something that binds her.

She is no longer the cold and ruthless modern ace agent, she is just an ordinary woman, her parents, husband, children, and brothers are her weakness!

It was because of these vulnerabilities that she became strong and resilient.

She wants to use a hard shell to protect these soft underbellies.

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

But what softened her heart were also these vulnerabilities.

"Mother, why are you working so hard You fainted in front of Granny's grave that morning. Why didn't you stay home and rest Why did you have to go wash the clothes"

>

“Even if you don't change your clothes for ten or half a month, you won't die. But if Mother is gone, the bad news will spread back. What am I supposed to do What about Da’an who lives far away in Helan Prefecture, and Xiao’an at the academy”

"Speaking of this, she, who had never scolded her elders before, couldn't help but turn around and ask Dasi with a hint of displeasure: 'Auntie-in-law, you also know that my mother fainted that day, why didn't you stop her from going to wash clothes'

"

"To tell the truth, I'm ashamed. That day, I had just returned from the mountains. It was midday, and I was so tired that I didn't even have time for lunch. I fell asleep on the cool bed right away."

“Your uncle and your grandfather went to your great-grandfather's house. Your mother probably saw that I was asleep, so she secretly took the dirty clothes we all changed out of to wash.”

“When I woke up and heard Cuier’s mother tell me about this, I was also scared out of my wits. You scolded me when you came back, Qinger. It was my aunt who was negligent. You should scold me, I deserve it. I didn't take good care of my own sister…”

Da Sun shi said, as she spoke, her head bowed in shame, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Ruqing's anger couldn't be fully expressed.

Although I have a deep bond with my aunt and her daughter, my stepmother also has a close relationship with my mother.

Aunt's worry and fear were definitely no less than hers.

"Aunt, I was just a little flustered just now and my tone might have been a bit harsh. Please don't take it to heart. I didn't mean to target you at all. It's just that when I thought about it, I got scared..."

Yang Ruqing then explained to Dà Sun.

> Dà Sūn shi raised her eyes to look at Yáng Ruòqíng and shook her head.

"It's fine, why would Auntie be serious with you Actually, even if you didn't say anything, I, your aunt, would scold myself to death in my heart."
