"What should you do next? I'll have a chat with your little grandpa, and you all go and do your work!" the old man said.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Yang Huazhou suggested going to Yang Huazhong's house to play cards all night.

Yang Huazhong immediately smiled and said: "That's good, I'll let your third sister-in-law make the charcoal brazier boiling hot, make beef dumplings in the early morning to watch the New Year, and then they all go to my house to play cards!"

Everyone laughed and then dispersed.

Yang Huazhong took Daan and Xiaoan home early to prepare. Yang Ruoqing found an excuse and deliberately delayed for a while.

Luo Fengtang naturally followed Yang Ruoqing like a loyal bodyguard.

"I want to go to eldest brother's room and have a few words with him alone." She said to Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang said: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, and the two of them came to the door of Yang Yongxian's house together. Luo Fengtang stopped.

"I'd better wait at the door. I'm afraid my brother will feel uncomfortable talking if I go in," he said.

Yang Ruoqing deeply felt that he was considerate, but, "It's cold outside, and there's a cold breeze coming in from the patio. Come in with me, it'll be okay!"

Luo Fengtang smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold. You go in, I'll wait for you."

Yang Ruoqing knew she couldn't defeat him, so she had to say: "Okay, I'll keep the story short."

The door of the room was ajar, and Yang Yongxian was sitting at the desk with his back to this side.

There was a candle lit on the table, and when Yang Ruoqing opened the door and came in, a few strands of wind blew in, blowing the candle.

The light and shadow jumped, casting her shadow on the opposite wall. Yang Yongxian was stunned, "Xiuxin?"

He turned around hurriedly and saw that the person coming was Yang Ruoqing, with a trace of disappointment clearly flashing across his face.

"Qing'er, why are you here? Sit down." He said weakly.

Yang Ruoqing came to the desk and did not sit down. Instead, she stood opposite and looked at him.

"Brother, you always pretend to be sister-in-law in your heart, right?" she asked.

Yang Yongxian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flickered a little.

"Why do you ask that? This makes me embarrassed to answer." He said a little embarrassed.

Yang Ruoqing said: "You are husband and wife, what's there to be embarrassed about? If you have it, you have it, and if you don't have it, you don't have it."

Yang Yongxian smiled bitterly, "Your sister-in-law and I were married. Although we separated within half a month after getting married, in the final analysis, our couple is somewhat different from other couples in the village."

"Xiuxin and I, to be honest, fell in love with each other first, and we didn't just rely on the matchmaker to arrange the marriage."

Yang Ruoqing understood what Yang Yongxian said.

In other words, there is a basis of affection between him and Li Xiuxin.

"Brother, I understand, you have a sister-in-law in your heart, but you still can't let her go completely, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked next.

Yang Yongxian frowned and said, "It should be so, otherwise, I wouldn't wait two years, even if..."

Yang Ruoqing suddenly interrupted Yang Yongxian's words:

"Even if Ping'er likes you, even if you feel pity for Ping'er, you have never made up your mind to marry Ping'er. It's just because you still want to wait for your sister-in-law to come back, right?"

Yang Yongxian was stunned for a moment, looking at Yang Ruoqing with a somewhat shocked look.

"Qing'er, are you the roundworm in my belly? Why do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Yes, your brother, I do think so. Am I very greedy?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "This is not greed, this is what a normal person should be."

The earth will still rotate regardless of who is left.

The couple has a misunderstanding, but it's not a big misunderstanding. The cold war should be stopped in moderation.

He left for two years out of anger. Two years is enough to cool down a fiery heart.

Don't just catch the other person's fault and not let go, don't move forward without looking back, and don't take into account the feelings of the person behind you.

No one will stand there forever waiting for someone else. The sea can dry up and the stones can rot, let alone the human heart.

Therefore, feelings are for management, not for anger.

"Brother, this matter is just like wearing shoes. Only you know whether they fit your feet and how long you can wear these shoes." Yang Ruoqing continued.

"As a sister and as a friend, I just want to remind you,"

"When dealing with emotional matters, don't be sloppy."

"If loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, you must decisively choose one side and give up the other."

"Now you are all still young and have made your choice. The person who is eliminated will be able to find his own destination after a period of time. If three people are tied together and entangled like this, the pain will be long and endless!" She finally said.

Yang Yongxian nodded, "I will consider your words seriously, and there will be results tomorrow."

Yang Ruoqing raised her lips and smiled, "Sure, then I'm relieved. I'll go back first. Tang Yazi is still waiting for me at the door."

She turned around and was about to leave when Yang Yongxian called out to her again.

"Is there anything else, brother?" she asked.

Yang Yongxian stood up, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask: "Um... when will Ping'er and Huahua come back?"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he was asking.

Years ago, before Yang Ruoqing received the news that Luo Fengtang was about to take command and go to Yanmen Pass, Ping'er also received news from Yuncheng.

He said he had found Mr. Zhou.

Huahua was clamoring for a mother, and Ping'er, thinking of the old master-servant relationship, begged Yang Ruoqing to go to Yuncheng to visit Zhou Shi.

Of course, Yang Ruoqing was worried about letting her mother and daughter run such a long distance, so Tuoba Xian picked two people from the escort team she brought over that day to pretend to be carriage drivers and send Ping'er and Huahua there.

To Yuncheng.

"Ping'er came back with a letter on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. It was a letter received by my mother-in-law. I have also read the letter." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Ping'er said that she met Huahua's mother Zhou, who was taken in by an old couple on the outskirts of Yuncheng."

"Ping'er said that she and Huahua will stay there to spend the New Year with Mr. Zhou. After the New Year, she will leave a sum of money to Mr. Zhou depending on the situation."

"Then bring Huahua back. The return date will probably be around the Lantern Festival!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Yang Yongxian nodded.

"I'm worried that Huahua doesn't want to come back with Ping'er and wants to be with her own mother," he said.

Ping'er cares about Huahua so much. If Huahua doesn't come back, Ping'er might want to stay.

Then wouldn’t it be true that I wouldn’t be able to see Ping’er either?

Thinking of this, Yang Yongxian felt as if a big piece was missing from his heart, feeling hollow and uncomfortable.

Tonight, Li Xiuxin left for the second time, and he faced an empty house, which was not so empty either.

"Brother, you can't let go of Ping'er either." Yang Ruoqing said again.
