Chapter 3223: The Wife as a Mediator

uncle used the money he earned to buy rice and grain and sent it to his aunt's house in Qingshui Town.Auntie, in reciprocation of courtesies, might give him a pair of shoes or make a piece of clothing...Of course, these are all afterthoughts.

At this time, Yang Zhenbang had been blinded by greed. All he could think about was making a fortune.

As for what principles and bottom lines to live by, they were all thrown out the window.

After several autumn winds, the scorching heat that ravaged the earth finally began to subside.

The season is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Changping Village.

Because Yang Ruoqing brought back a large amount of grain, easing everyone's immediate worries, compared to the Dragon Boat Festival when they could only eat wild vegetables before, many families were preparing to celebrate the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival properly.

In this situation, "living well" simply means going to the Sun family's house and getting half a catty of meat and stewing it with sauerkraut in a big pot.

Then cook some rice with sweet potatoes or grains, and mix it with last year's chili sauce and chopped vegetables.

These are all amaranth greens, ferns, and wild ginger.

To rely on one's surroundings, as people in times of famine would strip the bark off trees to survive.

Changping Village, backed by the sprawling Mianniu Mountain Range spanning hundreds of miles, boasts towering peaks and rugged terrain. As long as you have the strength and courage, you will never starve!

Wild vegetables and game rely on their own abilities.

"Wow, what a huge deer leg! Who sent this"

Yang Ruqing carried a basin of sticky rice flour in from outside. As soon as she entered, she saw a sack made of hemp rope lying on the main hall floor. On the sack was a live roe deer leg.

It looked like it weighed fifteen or sixteen pounds. The cut surface was bright red, and the meat was firm to the touch.

Obviously, this is a front leg just cut off from a deer.

“This was sent over by Zhou Shenggang. He said he took it when he went up the mountain this morning.” Wang Cuilian said.

That must have been Zhou Sheng's brother going to burn incense for the deceased Feng Zhi, and he happened to run into this roe deer on his way back, right

Yang Ruqing thought to herself, and said out loud: "This is the front leg of a roe deer. The meat is plentiful. Compared to the hind legs that are better for running and jumping, the front legs have relatively less muscle and the meat is more tender and fatty, suitable for our girls' children to cook into dishes."

Wang Cuilian said, “Zhou Sheng said the same thing himself. He said there was one more leg to send to Baby for her grandfather.”

"Two at once That's really generous," Yang Ruqing exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Cuilian said, “Zhou Sheng is a sensible boy. I reckon he saw how you and your father helped them before, so this time when he got a deer, he sent over the best front legs and hind legs. He said the rest was to be given to several village elders and relatives.”

Yang Ruqing nodded. Zhou Shengge was indeed a man who knew how to be grateful.

All that was left after this round of gift-giving was just this little deer, which ended up in the hands of him and his son, Bingbing.

"Raising a child on his own is no easy feat. The house is in disarray, not like it used to be. Ah, a household without a woman at the helm simply doesn't function."

Wang Cuilian sighed.

“Zhou Sheng’s sister-in-law was washing clothes by the pond this morning and happened to be squatting with me. She told me in private that Zhou Sheng cries every night holding onto a piece of clothing Feng Zhi left behind, thinking about her. When Bing Bing falls asleep, he drinks to drown his sorrows. Ah, life is really tough!”

Hearing Wang Cuilian's words, Yang Ruoqing also shook her head secretly.

"I wonder if Auntie Zhou is going to ask you to help find a suitable woman for Zhou Sheng to remarry" Yang Ruqing asked.

Wang Cuilian said: "Fengzhi hasn't even reached 100 days yet, even if she had that intention, she wouldn't say it at this time."

"However, looking ahead, I estimate that we will still have to plan this way. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for one man to raise a child alone; it's hard work. Your uncle used to raise your cousin that way, you see When it got cold, other children already had their autumn clothes on, but your cousin was still wearing his summer clothes, all patched up and worn out. His shoes were either straw sandals or bare feet – just looking at him made my heart ache…"

"Ahem..."

Yang Ruqing had already coughed twice in a row, hinting to Wang Cuilian.

But Wang Cuilian, once she got started talking, couldn't seem to stop.

Only when Wang Cuilian received Yang Ruoheng's wink did she realize how inappropriate her previous words had been.

She blushed and looked at Tuo Ba Xian beside her, feeling very embarrassed.

"Well, uh, I..."

Wang Cuilian murmured, not knowing how to explain or correct her words.

“It’s our fault that we’re useless, causing Táng Yázi so much suffering…” Wang Cuilín finally managed to squeeze out these words after struggling for a long time.

Princess Tuo'er of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a true jewel, a beloved and highly regarded member of the imperial family.

Wang Cuilian thought to herself, "The birth mother of the Tang Ya Zi must be a princess. Her biological father certainly must also be someone of high status."

Thus, the children of these two noble people ended up in Changping Village, growing up amidst hardship from a young age. It's truly...

Tuoba Xian raised her head, her eyes red. She tried to squeeze out a smile and said to Wang Cuilian, "Sister-in-law, this isn't your fault, it's mine. It's my fault as a mother."

"No, it's our fault for not taking good care of the child..." Wang Cuilian added.

"Tuoba Xian gently shook her head, "You guys deserve my gratitude for raising him and making him such a righteous and honorable man. I should be the one thanking you."

"You are my great benefactor!"

Tuo Ba Xian held Wang Cuilian's hand tightly and said.

Although I still feel heartache, seeing Bingbing take care of the child reminds me of my own son's childhood. However, no matter how much love I have, it can't make up for anything. A child's growth happens only once, and if you miss it, you miss it.

All I hope for now is to live one more day, to spend one more day with my children, that's enough.

Seeing both of her mothers-in-law looking downcast, Yang Ruoheng, as the daughter-in-law, felt responsible for lightening the mood.

"Auntie, Mom, and my Uncle, none of you are wrong, don't blame yourselves." Yang Ruoqing said.

"As Mother just said, under those circumstances at the time, for Tang Yazi to keep his life was already a huge windfall. Even if he became a beggar, it would be living, and as long as he lived, there was hope." She said.

Tuoba Xian nodded, this hit her right in the heart. To be alive meant there was a chance for recognition, but to die... just a handful of yellow earth. Truly, there would be nothing left.

Seeing that her mother-in-law's mood had improved, Yang Ruqing turned her head to Wang Cuilian and said: "Bao Jianfeng is honed through hardship, plum fragrance comes from bitter cold. If it weren't for the hardships of poverty in his youth, Tang YaZi wouldn't have grown up to be so responsible,"

“As the saying goes, poor children become heads of households early. Tang Ya Zi's achievements today are closely related to his hardships in his youth. Otherwise, if he had been pampered and sheltered growing up, he would have become a Chen Hu or a Chen Xiong.”

Chen Hu and Chen Xiong were about the same age as Luo Fengtang. When they were young, they were the sons of wealthy families in the village. While other children struggled to eat enough, they enjoyed large bites of pork. Their childhood was so enviable that all the village children envied them.

"Yes, Qing'er, you are right. It's true that there is hardship before sweetness!"
