Three days later, Luo Fengtang returned from the county seat.

"The general situation described by Magistrate Zou is similar to the situation revealed by Qing'er and He'er during cross-examination. He'er was indeed responsible for stealing other people's food."

"He was taken to the county government office after all the stolen goods were taken. When he was taken to the county government, he was already mute."

"Magistrate Zou went through the motions, and He'er didn't struggle. She even signed the document stating that she had stolen something. Magistrate Zou then took her to the prison."

"Originally, I planned to lock him up for a little half a month and release him with a small punishment but a big warning. This is just in time for the new emperor to ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world, so he was released in advance."

"Magistrate Zou even made a point of apologizing to me, saying that he didn't know he was your cousin..."

Yang Ruoqing waved her hand and interrupted Luo Fengtang: "This has nothing to do with Magistrate Zou. He is a mute and can't express himself. He ran to steal things and was caught in someone's hands. If I were Magistrate Zou, I would do the same.

Take her into custody."

Luo Fengtang nodded.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "Then we are going to inquire about the addition of children to the wealthy families in Wanghai County in the past three months."

Luo Fengtang said: "Don't worry, Qing'er. When I went to visit Brother Xu Mang to reminisce about old times, I also told him about this matter."

"Brother Xu is familiar with the Wanghai County area. In addition to doing business with us in the past few years and making friends everywhere, he has become a well-known figure in Wanghai County. He has people in both black and white circles."

"Brother Xu said that this matter will be taken care of by him, and there will definitely be an answer before the end of the year." He said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily, "If Brother Xu helps us find it, it will be twice the result with half the effort. We can just wait for good news."

"By the way, is Brother Xu's eldest daughter in labor?" She turned around and asked.

When we first met Xu Mang, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was Luo Fengtang's newlywed and pretty daughter-in-law.

That year I went with him to Xu Mang's house to pay New Year's greetings. The eldest daughter of Xu Mang's family was seven or eight years old. The seven or eight-year-old girl called her aunt, which made her blush with embarrassment.

In the blink of an eye, eighty-nine years have passed, and now I am twenty-three, and my children are almost seven or eight years old.

The eldest daughter of Brother Xu’s family got married last year and got pregnant at the beginning of the year. Is it possible that the baby was already born?

Luo Fengtang smiled as soon as this speculation came to his mind.

"If you didn't ask, I almost forgot." He said, and then he took out a purse with a big word "Happy" embroidered on it.

"My sister-in-law gave this to you. It's full of wedding candies. Brother Xu's eldest daughter just gave birth to a big fat boy a month ago."

"The couple just had a wedding. I don't know how excited they are. This is a wedding candy."

Yang Ruoqing took the heavy wedding candy and smiled, "The days go by so fast. The first time I saw that little girl, she was so tall."

She raised her hand and gestured in front of her, "She's about the same age as our daughter. In a blink of an eye, she already gave birth to a baby."

Luo Fengtang also smiled and said: "Yes, life flies by really fast. In the blink of an eye, our daughter has grown up too."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but feel happy and a little melancholy.

"Hey, my daughter is getting older, and I am getting older. My face is still smooth now, but in a few years, wrinkles will appear on my face," she said.

Luo Fengtang raised his hand and pinched her nose gently: "All things come and go, there is nothing to be sad about. Even if you get older, I will still be with you, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, and the trace of melancholy in her eyes immediately disappeared.

Yes, when I was young, I admired your beautiful face.

When you are old, I will be with you.

The years are quiet and good, and we will be together until we grow old. Looking back on this life, we have loved, suffered, cried, laughed, and fought hard.

I have no regrets in this life.

"Brother Xu's family has changed to a big house. They are still renovating and making furniture. He predicts that it may not be until after the Lantern Festival next year that he can move into the new house. I must tell you that you must remember to bring the children with you then.

Let’s go have a banquet.”

Luo Fengtang continued.

"I told him that Chen'er is studying in the capital. I'm afraid that Chen'er won't be able to go. If the remaining two at home can, I can take him there to play with me."

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, "You can make the decision. Well, you are tired from the journey, so go back to the house and take a breather. I will go to the old house to tell my father and the others about the situation, and then we will have lunch at home."

…

In the old house, Yang Ruohe was lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries. Mrs. Liu was looking forward to sitting on a small stool beside her and eating melon seeds.

As usual, there were melon seed shells vomited around my feet. Things in the house were also staggered, and shoes were everywhere.

Feifei lay lazily on a pair of shoes in front of the bed and fell asleep.

On the bed where Yang Ruohe was lying, except for the one-meter-two-meter-wide area where she slept, there was nothing piled up. The other places were also piled with various clothes, coats, needlework, dustpans, and the like.

There was even a greasy and dirty apron hanging on the end of the bed.

Yang Ruoqing just glanced inside, and then decisively looked back.

I admired Ms. Liu from the bottom of my heart. Her mental quality was really not that strong. The house was so dirty and messy. There was a half-dead girl lying on the bed, and a dog that gave off a foul smell lay on the floor.

She could still sit there and enjoy herself while eating melon seeds. As a housewife, she was too lazy, too dirty, and too sloppy.

No wonder the fourth uncle doesn't consider these rooms his home at all now, and all of them go to Xiaojuan's room. Hey, if she, Yang Ruoqing, were a man, she would probably choose this way!

Let's say that Yang Ruoqing withdrew and turned around to go to the east room opposite, but the sharp-eyed Mrs. Liu saw Yang Ruoqing.

She didn't care whether Yang Ruohe on the bed had just fallen asleep. Before she ran out of the house, she shouted at Yang Ruoqing outside the house with a loud voice: "Qing'er, wait a moment!"

Then he rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.

Yang Ruoqing paused and turned around: "What's wrong, Fourth Aunt?"

Mrs. Liu spit out the last few pieces of melon seed shells in her mouth, took a few steps forward and looked at Yang Ruoqing with bright eyes: "Qing'er, Fourth Aunt wants to ask you something."

"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Most of you want to know the news about He'er from the county government, right?

Here, Ms. Liu has already asked: "Qing'er, I heard that Daping Niang went to the door of your yard to make a fuss that day. She said that Tang Yazi was deliberately poking Wangfu and taking Wangfu to do odd jobs in the kitchen of the military camp.

, is this really happening? Are you really going to make trouble?"

After hearing these questions from Mrs. Liu, Yang Ruoqing's head was full of black lines.
