As Yang Ruohua was a guest at her own home, she naturally took the initiative to greet everyone.

"Big brother, you're here? Come, eat some food!"

This so-called greeting is actually a way of encouraging drinks and food. When there are elders at the table, or if the guests are more shy, the host will also pick up public chopsticks or a big spoon to proactively serve dishes and soup for the guests.

Yang Yongxian looked up at Yang Ruqing, smiling and about to nod when he suddenly saw Ping'er following behind her.

With a glance, Ping'er calmly looked away and turned to greet the others.

Yang Yongxian was stunned in place, a little dazed.

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

>It's been more than a month since we last met at the clinic in town.

Ping'er's complexion had improved, and she was even more graceful and beautiful.

With her bare hands, she gently placed the bowl of food on the table. Her posture and appearance were so graceful that Yang Yongxian's gaze softened as well. His restless heart suddenly seemed to calm down a bit.

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

Next, as they drank and ate, Yang Yongxian's gaze would frequently drift toward Ping'er.

Ping'er sat with Yang Ruqing and Cao Bamei. The women and children had a table of their own.

She smiled sweetly, a far cry from her previous awkwardness and nervousness. She chatted with those around her, smiling as she served the children food.

The more Yang Yongxian looked, the more she wanted to look. The more she looked, the more she liked it. It was a long-lost feeling of warmth.

Awakened Yang Yongxian's long-held yearning for maternal love deep within his heart.

When dinner was over, Ping'er and the others went to the backyard to wash the dishes. As the men began to leave one by one, Yang Yongxian surprisingly felt reluctant to part ways.

Yang Ruqing came to the front yard to get something. As she walked along the path between the main hall and the kitchen, she saw Yang Yongxian pacing by the roadside.

Lanterns hung from the branches of trees lining the road, illuminating his face, which was tilted upward in eager anticipation.

Is this...looking at Ping'er?

Yang Ruqing thought to herself, her gaze shifted towards Yang Yongxian.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Yang Ruqing arrived behind Yang Yongxian and asked.

Yang Yongxian was startled and turned around to see Yang Ruoqing.

"Qinger, when did you get here?" he asked, his gaze sweeping around to make sure no one else was present. He let out a slight sigh of relief.

Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow and teased, "Big brother, you're being so sneaky, what are you up to?"

Yang Yongxian was a little embarrassed. Was he really acting stealthily?

“Qing'er, when will Ping'er be back?” Yang Yongxian asked directly.

This was a bit of a surprise to Yang Ruqing, because in the past, he had also deliberately avoided talking about Ping'er.

"What do you need this for, big brother? It's the afternoon," Yang Ruqing asked.

Yang Yongxian quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, nothing. Just casually asking."

>

"Oh." Yang Ruqing nodded.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Yang Yongxian asked again, "Well then, Pinger and the others, will they not be leaving this year?"

Yang Ruqing didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Big brother, what do you care about this for? Is there anything wrong?"

Yang Yongxian shook his head, "It's nothing, just casually asking..."

"Big brother, I'm just saying, you have so much free time to ask around here and there, why don't you spend some time mending your relationship with sister-in-law?" Yang Ruqing said with a smile.

“I heard that your relationship is still very tense and you argue every few days.”

“Since things have come to this, you shouldn't keep inquiring about Ping'er’s affairs. You can't give her what she wants, so don't provoke her anymore. Ping'er has her own life, and you should just stay out of it.”

Yang Ruohua spoke very directly, anyone who isn't an idiot could understand it, let alone Yang Yongxian!

Indeed, upon hearing these words, Yang Yongxian's face was filled with shame.

He nodded. "I don't mean anything bad, it's just... I just wanted to check on Ping'er."

“After all, it’s not easy for a woman to raise a child alone. Plus, she was kind to me before, helping me sew clothes and shoes and socks. I consider her a friend, so I want to show her some concern...”

Yang Ruqing cut Yang Yongxian off.

“Brother, you can certainly care about those friends who deserve your concern, but as for Ping'er here, I advise against it.”

"You surely know what your sister-in-law is like, don't you?"

During that Mid-Autumn Festival night, you just happened to meet Ping'er and helped carry sick Hua Hua. Your sister-in-law made a big fuss about it, and Ping'er even got slapped.

"Don't you remember?" she asked.

>

When it comes to that incident, Yang Yongxian is even more ashamed.

Yang Ruqing continued, “If your concern brings Ping'er not happiness and joy, but instead causes her pain,”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

“Therefore, I advise you to stay away from Ping'er. If you truly care for her, distance yourself from her and act as a stranger.”

"And, I can tell you something else: after the New Year, Ping'er might bring Huahua back to the village,"

"Hua Hua still needs to go to school. After this year, Ping'er has made preparations for a new life. She asked me to tell you, Big Brother, and requested that you treat her like an ordinary person. Some things are just destined to not be meant to be. "

After Yang Ruqing finished speaking, Yang Yongxian stood there speechless and motionless.

Yang Ruqing no longer cared about him, turning back to the kitchen.

As she walked a ways, she turned her head and glanced back, discovering Yang Yongxian still frozen in place.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

>She walked a little further and turned back to look, but Yang Yongxian was gone.

A continuous interruption will inevitably lead to chaos.

A man, in the world of love, if he can't be decisive, then don't drag things on.

To think he's like Duan Wangye from Dali, with romances everywhere and countless homes. He must truly be able to handle so many women with ease!

>

Even Duan Wangye, in the end, didn't he watch with his own eyes as the women he liked died one by one before him?

Being slaughtered like chickens, helpless to do anything about it?

So, men, don't be too greedy, hurting all the women inside and outside the home, and in the end, you'll have nothing left.

When Yang Ruqing returned to the kitchen, she found Ping'er also looking distracted.

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

"I just ran into my cousin," Yang Ruqing told Ping'er.

Ping'er was startled and looked at Yang Ruocheng.

Yang Ruqing then told Ping'er about her previous conversation with Yang Yongxian.

Ping'er listened quietly for a long time, and then after a while she said, "Qing'er, thank you for voicing my heart. Some things, even if we know they are impossible, we should end cleanly and thoroughly. To drag it on is torture and harm to each other, and it is also disrespectful to the relationship."

Yang Ruqing couldn't help but clap her hands: "That's great, the fact that you can think this way and act on it puts my mind at ease."

“When the time comes and fate brings us together, get married right away and live a happy life just like us!”
