"Whether I slept or not doesn’t matter, just insist that I did, and it’s settled." Wang Baozhu lay on Wang Wen’s back and whispered in his ear, "If I can marry Yang Rusong, then I’ll be the Scholar’s wife. And if he becomes a candidate in the imperial exams, I’ll be an official’s wife. It’s good for all of you..."
"Sister makes sense," Wang Wu suddenly laughed, "When I sleep with Scholar’s cousin and sister as well, our family will really prosper..."
"Idiot!" Wang Wen lifted his hand and knocked on his brother’s head, "Don’t keep talking about sleeping with someone all the time. If someone else hears you, prepare yourself for a beating and forget about sleeping with anyone..."
Wang Wu rubbed his head but ultimately didn’t say anything more, though after holding it in for a while, he still muttered, "Then I’ll just sleep with her secretly..."
Lin Yue’e hadn’t even reached the entrance of the Yang Family ancestral home when she started wailing, "Oh my, I can’t go on like this, the Yang Family is too bullying. They’re supposed to be scholars, but it’s just...just...a disgrace to scholarship..." It took her a good while to come up with such a phrase.
As for why Lin Yue’e dared to come, was she not afraid of Yang Ruxin? Of course, she was scared of Yang Ruxin, but Yang Ruxin had already cut ties with the people at the old house and had even whipped Old Lady Yang today, so, Lin Yue’e thought that if she came over to make a scene, the other party might even be happy about it.
It was the end of the workday already, the sun was beginning to set, and the banquet was gradually coming to a close. The guests, now full, couldn’t just leave immediately. They helped clean up and returned the tables and benches they had borrowed. Of course, there was leftover meat, which Yang Rulin, having been instructed by Yang Ruxin, distributed among the households to take home.
The people were immensely satisfied, and of course, they didn’t just go home and stay inside. Instead, they took the time to chat with each other, express their amazement at how today’s meat could stave off hunger for four or five days, sigh at how the wooden girl had suddenly become so formidable without a sound, and even take delight in the misfortune of the Yang Family for driving away a golden phoenix that could lay golden eggs...
There were also some men jesting with each other, saying that after eating so much meat, they would have plenty of energy to tussle with their wives tonight and maybe even produce a child out of it...
At that time, despite their poverty, the so-called poorer the more children, having many sons and grandsons seemed like a blessing. A woman who could have children was the envy of all.
Of course, many women were also talking about another matter, which was that Wang Hehua was pregnant.
You should know that Wang Hehua only had one daughter, Li Xiang, and for these years, she had difficulty holding her head up high. Fortunately, her husband had brothers, so it wasn’t required for her husband to carry on the family line. Her husband didn’t despise her, and her mother-in-law didn’t pressure her, otherwise, she might have faced the fate of being divorced.
"To be pregnant at such an old age is really a miracle... tsk tsk..."
"You don’t know, do you? It was Yang Dani who treated her, and it’s been less than two months."
"Hey yo, her name is Yang Ruxin now, don’t call her Dani anymore. She’s no longer the pitiful girl from before... I remember, last time Old Lady Yang was cursing someone, Xinxin said that person could give birth..."
"I remember too, just not sure how she learned those medical skills."
"Why should she tell you how she learned? You’re not close with her..." The person paused, "Did you see that old man? I heard he’s a Divine Doctor from some mountain, even the Emperor in the palace invited him for treatment..."
