Yang Huazhong couldn't sit still.

“No, I have to go and bring back Brother Luo!” he said.

Sun said, "Do you know where to go looking?"

Yang Huazhong said, “Ma Jia Village!”

Sun said again, "Could it be that Brother Luo has left Mazha Village and gone somewhere else to have fun?"

Yang Huazhong said: "No matter where he went, I have to go find him. Ma Jia Village is a must-visit!"

Sun said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Yang Ruqing came from the backyard and had already changed her shoes.

"Mother, why don't you just stay home? I'll go with my father."

The father and daughter drove out of the courtyard in another carriage and onto the road leading to Qingshui Town.

Along the way, all we encountered were farmworkers finishing their work. We didn't see a single cart pulled by Luo Tiejiang's horses coming our way.

“I'm worried that Lao Da (Uncle Lao) might be drunk,” Yang Huazhong said as he hurried in the car.

The man didn't make it very clear what he meant, but Yang Ruqing sitting beside him understood.

Ma Shi was a widow. If Luo Dabo got drunk, he would spend the night at her place.

Once this gossip spread, even if the two of them hadn't done anything, Lao Luo's involvement in this mess would only deepen.

It's even harder to break free.

Yang Ruqing frowned: "Father, please make the carriage go faster!"

Ma Jia Village.

When the father and daughter arrived, the sun had already set completely.

In the distance, a small village sits by the roadside.

A path curved inward, and at the village entrance there was a small pond where several women were washing vegetables and chatting.

Seeing a carriage pull up, everyone curiously gazed this way.

In this era, ox-carts were only affordable for relatively wealthy landowners in the countryside.

Many families share a cow with relatives and friends. During the farming season, that cow gets overworked day and night, plowing the fields. Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

Many families didn't even have a common ox, so men plowed the fields while women pulled.

In such a big environment, a carriage worth nearly twenty taels of silver entered the village, which immediately attracted everyone's attention!

>

"Auntie, may I ask if there's someone named Ma Dafu in your village?"

Yang Ruqing let Yang Huazhong wait in the carriage and jumped out to ask a woman by the pond.

The woman hurried to say, “Yes, yes, yes! His house is at the back of the village. You see that courtyard with the jujube tree? The woman tied beneath it is from their family.”

Thank you.

After politely thanking, Yang Ruoqing turned around.

The carriage started moving again, and Yang Ruqing heard the hushed whispers of those women behind her.

"Ma Da Fu, this guy has climbed onto the wagon of some rich folks? Two carriages came to the village looking for him today…"

Ma Jia Village is not large, with only a dozen or so households.

The roads in the village are very poor and can't compare to the paved stone roads in Changping Village.

On the road, pig manure, mixed with dirty fallen leaves and vegetable scraps, was everywhere.

This was the time for cooking dinner, and some children in the village were playing at their front doors.

Seeing the carriage enter the village, everyone flocked to follow it.

Thus, the carriage, trailing a 'tail,' arrived near a peasant's small courtyard at the back of the village.

At a glance, one could see that within the low courtyard wall, there grew a crooked jujube tree.

A carriage was also parked at the entrance to the courtyard. Wasn't that the one Lu Tiejiang drove here in?

"Your Uncle Luo really didn't leave!"

Yang Huazhong said, his voice carrying a tinge of both urgency and ease.

>

It's broad daylight, not even night yet. Taking them away now won't raise any eyebrows.

Two carriages stopped beside each other. When the children saw Yang Ruqing and Yang Huazhong come down, they all hurried to hide behind.

The children were frightened and kept watching Yang Ruqing and Yang Huazhong go to knock on the door of the courtyard before they dared to come out. They then gathered back around the carriage, looking curiously.

Here, Yang Huazhong was knocking on the courtyard gate. Yang Ruqing stood by and waited.

On a bright, sunny day, the courtyard gate was bolted from inside.

Here is the English translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

After just two shots, Ma Dafu's voice came from inside the courtyard.

"Which one?"

Here is the translation of your content: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Huazhong stood by the wall of the courtyard.

The man's tall and sturdy figure was half-visible outside the courtyard wall.

"Big Fortune brothers, it's me, open the door!" Yang Huazhong said.

Ma Da Fu stood at the entrance of the main hall and saw Yang Hua Zhong at a glance.

He was taken aback, a flash of panic crossing his eyes.

Instead of coming to open the door immediately, he turned his head and shouted into the dark hall behind him: "Little sister, Yang San Ge is here."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Then he hurried over and opened the courtyard gate.

"Well hello, Qing'er! Come on in and have a seat!"

Ma Da Fu smiled warmly, letting way for Yang Hua Zhong and Yang Ruo Qing to enter the yard.

This is a very simple request. Please let me know if you have any other requests! ?

Then, he walked to the courtyard door and shouted at the children.

"Go home, go home, don't get involved in this chaos!"

>

The children scattered.

Ma Dafu turned around and returned to the courtyard, closing the gate tightly.

Here, Yang Ruqing had just stepped into the courtyard when she saw a woman tied up under the crooked neck jujube tree with a rope.

A woman with messy hair and dirt on her face sat on the ground, munching on a steamed bun in her hand.

He chewed with a loud crunching sound, and a puddle of wetness formed beneath him.

It's obvious that he urinated.

Yang Ruqing frowned slightly.

Didn't we say that Ma was taking care of his sister-in-law at home? Is this how he takes care of her?

Yang Huazhong also saw the woman. The father and daughter, perhaps thinking of the same place, both frowned.

Ma Da Fu caught up and quickly explained, "I've been staying in the house this whole time. It was just that Luo Ge came by uninvited a moment ago. I was afraid she would cause trouble, so I let her play in the courtyard for a while."

Yang Huazhong nodded.

It's not polite to inquire about other people's affairs.

"Brother Ma, where is Brother Luo?" Yang Huazhong asked.

This is the main point of what I've rushed over for today.

He's been out all day, and he hasn't come home yet. We're worried about him; we're afraid he might get drunk and fall somewhere on the road...

>

Yang Huazhong didn't want his purpose to be too obvious, so he quickly added a sentence.

>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Ma Dafu smiled and said, 'Third brother, you're truly a kindhearted person. You still care so much about Brother Luo...'

"Today, Uncle Luo sent some carp over, and we were all very happy."

"Let my sister braise a pot of carp in red sauce for me, and I'll drink the realgar wine made by my sister."

"Lao Ge was in a good mood and had drunk several bowls. The alcohol was starting to take effect."

“I’m worried he’ll have an accident if he goes back like this, stumbling around. I’ll just let him lie down here in my room for a while until the alcohol wears off a bit, then he can leave whenever.”

As expected, sleeping in Ma's house!

When Yang Huazhong heard this, he couldn't quite bring himself to smile.

Yang Ruqing's heart tightened, and she rushed into the main hall.

There are three rooms, with a main hall in the middle and a bedroom on each side.

When Yang Ruqing heard the snoring coming from that room in the morning, she rushed over and just as she got there, a figure came out of the door.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?
