Chapter 4115: Even a Tiger Does Not Eat Its Own Cubs
st. Xia'er, my cousin, and that sister-in-law who is pregnant have also arrived. Auntie should spend more time with them."“As for this child, my family has two aunts who are experts at taking care of...Yang Ruqing looked at the bloodshot eyes and dark circles under his eyes, and said, "You haven't slept all night. This state won't be good for class. You should just rest at home today, and start tomorrow!"
"Today I went to the school to greet Mr. Han and asked him to cover for me for a day..."
“Don't do that.” Mu Zichuan interrupted Yang Ruoqing’s words.
“If you’re truly worried, I can rest for a while in the morning and then go to the academy after noon. You can ask Mr. Han to hold things down for a while.” he said.
"Are you sure your body can handle it" Yang Ruqing asked.

Mu Zichuan smiled: "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Yang Ruqing said, "Alright then, that's settled. I should be going now."
Mu Zichuan stood up to see Yang Ruoqing off. At the door, Yang Ruoqing looked at the chimney puffing out smoke and turned back to Mu Zichuan, instructing him: "Don't go to sleep on an empty stomach, have some breakfast before you sleep. Remember, remember!"
Mu Zi Chuan smiled and nodded, a warmth in his eyes.
Until Yang Ruoqing's figure disappeared, he turned and prepared to go back into the house.
The maid came out from looking for a room, “Master, breakfast is ready. Would you like to eat now”
Mu Zichuan said, "One bowl of congee and a plate of simple dishes each, please bring them to the front hall. I'll go wash up first."
Mu Zi Chuan's breakfast was very simple and light, not much in quantity, and few varieties.
Because he has always been someone who doesn't care much for food and drink, and his appetite isn't very large.
In contrast, over at Old Luo's place, the breakfast was extraordinarily abundant and diverse.
There are two types of congee, millet porridge, and preserved egg lean meat porridge, which Luo Baobao loves to eat.
In addition, there are one basket of steamed dumplings filled with chives, eggs, and vermicelli noodles, and one basket of steamed dumplings filled with cabbage and lean meat.
Tuoba Xian likes to eat soft Northern big steamed buns, Wang Cuilian has good teeth and likes to eat rice porridge, and then Luo the blacksmith prefers to eat leftover fried rice.
Therefore, on this table, there are not only congee, steamed buns, dumplings, rice porridge, eggs, and fried rice, but also fried glutinous rice cakes, which Yang Ruqing likes.
At the dinner table, Yang Ruqing told Chen'er and Luo Baobei about Mu Zichuan's temporary replacement of Yang Yongxian as a substitute teacher at the academy.
Chen'er said: "Uncle Zichuan is at home due to filial piety, truly bored. Going to the academy to teach could give him something to do and prevent him from being idle and empty-headed, dwelling on the past and only increasing his sorrow."
Yang Ruqing nodded. "That's right, he's been cooped up at home lately with nothing to do. He spends his days reading and writing, living a life of day and night reversed."
"I told him this before, and he just got up from lying down again, with dark circles under his eyes. He can go to school or do some tiring work, at least it's fulfilling."

Luo Baobei then excitedly said, "Uncle Zichuan is handsome and talented. If he comes to teach us, all the girls in our class will be thrilled!"
Those at the table couldn't help but smile when they heard Luo Baobei described as a little demon.
Yang Ruqing also had a black line on her forehead.
"You guys, you little brats, why are you all so mature You're just saying adult stuff about what's good and bad. Your Uncle Zi Chuan is old enough to be your father!" Yang Ruqing pretended to be angry, she said.
Luó Bǎobǎo defended, "Uncle Zǐchuān is already a handsome man! All the female students in our class say so, it's not just me."
“By the way, there’s also my cousin An who is a handsome guy. But in my heart, both Cousin Chuan and Cousin An aren't as good-looking as my older brother. My brother is the most handsome and capable person in the world, right brother”
Lo Baobei kept talking while winking at Chen'er, giggling mischievously. She was incredibly playful and adorable.
Chen'er smiled with a face full of fondness, picked up a steamed dumpling filled with cabbage and lean meat, dipped it in some sauce, and placed it on Luo Baobei's plate.
“You are right about everything, come on, eat while it’s hot. After you finish, your brother will take you to school.”
With the academy arranged, Yang Ruqing's heart felt half at ease. Now, she focused her attention on what Big Brother was up to.
“Your father has been gone since last night and hasn't come back. As for your grandfather, he's already been here three times this morning.”
When Yang Ruqing came to her in-laws' house, Sun, upon seeing her, immediately asked her this.
"Amongst my grandfather's grandsons, he cared most for my eldest cousin. Among his great-grandsons, he currently favors Xiu'er the most. It's not surprising that he visited three times, I estimate he didn't sleep a wink last night." Yang Ruohua said.
Sun said, "If we really can't do anything about it, why don't we go to the town and take a look It's just as well to be anxious at home."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Yang Ruqing hasn't responded yet, Lao Yang has come over for the fourth time.
“Qing’er, is the third son back yet” The old man asked as soon as he entered.
“Not yet.” said Mrs. Sun.
“Why hasn’t he come back yet” Lao Yang’s eyes immediately dimmed, and a layer of worry was added to his face.
Seeing the old man's deeply sunken eye sockets and wrinkles around his eyes that could crush mosquitoes, Yang Ruqing could be sure he had barely slept last night.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with Xiu'er Why is he suddenly gasping for breath like that" Yang Ruqing couldn't help but ask.
That child was born prematurely and was frail. Everyone knew that.
So he was always well-kept indoors, protected from the wind and rain. After returning to Lao Yang's house, I didn't hear anything about him getting sick.
Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's question, Lao Yang sighed and said: "Xiu'er has been sick for many days. I only found out about it these past two days. It's all Li Xiuxin's fault. She didn't take good care of the child, causing her to get sick, and she even kept it from us. We only found out when she couldn't hide it anymore. What a poisonous woman!"
Hearing this, Yang Ruohua tentatively asked: "Logically speaking, Li Xiu Xin is Xiu'er's biological mother, a mother should always want the best for her son. Perhaps she was negligent in her care and then feared being blamed, so she chose to conceal it first"
Lao Yang snorted coldly, his beard trembling a few times.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but that Li Xiu Xin, she's not even as good as an animal." the old man said.
"These matters weren't really my concern, nor was it up to me to speak about them. But since your mother isn't here and you asked, I'll just say a few words."
"This Li Xiuxin is truly despicable. For the sake of vying for favor, she uses Xiu'er as a pawn. When taking care of Xiu'er, she deliberately acts carelessly, making Xiu'er cough as an excuse to call Yongxian to her room to show concern for their mother and child."
"How could a mother in this world cause her child hardship for her own selfish desires She's utterly stupid. If something happens to Xiu'er, I won't let her get away with it!"
Yang Ruqing and Sun exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.
It's really unimaginable that Li Xiuxin would actually use her own child's health as leverage against Liao Meiyng. She's truly ruthless!
Does she not worry about her child's special circumstances
Being born prematurely,
the child is fragile and needs more care than a regular child.
