The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space-Chapter 2269: Life (15)

When Yang Ruxin returned yesterday, no one knew about it, but as soon as she entered the village, everyone knew. Although it was a cold day, the afternoon sun was nice, so everyone who heard the commotion came out to say hello.

Yang Ruxin stopped at the doorstep here and there to chat, praised the good complexion of someone, laughed with another, and complimented the sturdiness of someone’s shoe soles... she was particularly at ease.

Someone even called out for Yang Ruxin to come and see the pigs they were raising.

Yang Ruxin really went over to the pigsty, crouched there watching for a long time, and then sincerely said the pigs looked great, to which the person said that this year they had three litters.

"Auntie, you raise pigs so well, it’s a good omen! No wonder your daughter-in-law had two healthy boys in a row..." Yang Ruxin gave a thumbs up.

The person laughed so much they couldn’t close their mouth, "It’s true, when my sow got pregnant, my daughter-in-law also got pregnant, and the delivery went very smoothly, no suffering at all, the boy weighed seven and a half jin."

"Such good fortune."

Chai Qin couldn’t help but twitch at the mouth. How could piglets be compared with human children? But it was amusing to listen to.

"Xinxin, I heard there’s going to be a celebration at home, right? If you need help, just shout!" someone else called from afar, greeting Yang Ruxin, "The boys at home are strong."

"Yeah, Xinxin, don’t be shy," chimed in another.

"Don’t worry, in a few days I’ll definitely need everyone’s help," Yang Ruxin didn’t refuse, "Just don’t complain about the tiredness when the time comes."

"We won’t, back then we worked even with empty stomachs, now we can almost eat meat every day, every meal has rice and noodles, no matter how much work it is, we’re full of energy," a man responded cheerfully.

"Shuanzhu, do you have endless energy even in bed at night?" someone teased.

"Sure do," but Yang Shuanzhu didn’t get embarrassed, instead he replied loudly, "We’re young, we work hard in the fields during the day, of course we have to put more effort in bed at night."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"You brat..."

"Uncle, take it easy when you’re putting in effort with Auntie at night, don’t sprain your old waist."

"You little rascal, watch if I don’t beat you..." the old man pretended to take off his shoes to hit someone, but Yang Shuanzhu dashed away like a streak.

This caused another wave of laughter among the crowd.

Chai Qin was listening intently, with a blushing face.

"This is what life is," Yang Ruxin glanced back at Chai Qin and Chun Hua, "It’s the most genuine life, and also the best indicator of whether days are good or bad. If life wasn’t good, how could the villagers have the energy to joke around?"

Chai Qin and Chun Hua nodded, then stepped forward carrying baskets in their hands, filled with candies and sunflower seeds, giving them to people along the way.

Actually, everyone was really mindful, either popping one or two candies in their mouths or grabbing a handful of seeds, just for the fun of it.

Whenever they met children or those who hadn’t attended school, Yang Ruxin would grab more and stuff it into their arms.

But of course, not everyone was mindful, there were those who were shameless.

"Ma’am, how many times have you grabbed?" Chai Qin’s basket was full of candies, one was more than enough for each person, yet there came one who grabbed a handful and kept coming back, leaving her no choice but to speak up, given that person smelled just like a cesspit...

"What, me?" The person laughed sheepishly, "I only took two pieces." Saying so, she patted her chest, where she had stuffed ten or so candies, swelling as if she had drooping breasts.

"Ma Laiwang’s mother, what’s that in your clothes?" Liu Cuiyun, who was walking over, reached out, "Let me see, or haven’t you bathed in centuries and attracted bugs?"

"Liu’s wife, mind your own business! You’re the one attracting bugs!" The woman hurriedly covered her chest and ran away.

"Pah!" Liu Cuiyun spat on the ground behind her, "You lazy bum, never ashamed of dying from laziness and gluttony, huh?"

"Ma Laiwang’s mother, slow down, or the dirt will fall off!" someone teased from the back.

Hearing this, the woman ran even faster, tripping midway but quickly got back up and disappeared, causing another bout of laughter among those behind.

Yang Ruxin blinked, "Aunt, is she Ma Laiwang’s mother?" She seemed to have seen her once before but hadn’t noticed much. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Indeed." Even before Liu Cuiyun could answer, someone by her side responded, "Xinxin, by relation, you’re somewhat relatives too."

"What relatives?" Liu Cuiyun scowled, "Don’t forget, Xinxin broke ties with the old house long ago. Stop linking them together."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot..." The person scratched their head embarrassingly, "That’s Ma Qiang’s wife, her son Ma Laiwang is engaged to Yang Baihe."

Yang Ruxin nodded, realizing that this woman was Yang Baihe’s future mother-in-law. She couldn’t remember if she’d seen her before, but she certainly seemed gluttonous and lazy to an extreme. Just getting close to her, the smell on her body was stronger than the master’s poison; fortunately, it was outside—inside, it would definitely knock one out.

"I heard they’re getting married at the end of the month," Zhao Xinghua wandered over, "It’s set by the old man Yang himself."

"Actually, that Ma Laiwang is a decent lad, just delayed by his lazy mother, but he promised he’ll split from the family once they’re married, so as long as Yang Baihe can live well with him, it shouldn’t be too bad," Liu Cuiyun sighed, "I just worry she might not be content."

Yang Ruxin made no comment. Others’ lives are theirs to live, good or bad, it’s unrelated to herself.

After chatting a bit more, Yang Ruxin went to the village head’s house.

"Xinxin, stay and eat dinner here tonight." As soon as Lin Xiaoling saw Yang Ruxin entering, she greeted her, "Your big brother caught a rabbit on the mountain yesterday, it’s so fat, we’ll stew it tonight, smells delicious."

"Second aunt, don’t go to the trouble," Yang Ruxin smiled, "I just came to discuss something with the village head; I’ll come over to eat another day."

"That old fellow, who knows where he’s gone."

"Here I am," Yang Mancang walked in, carrying his smoking pipe, and glancing at his wife, "Always shouting needlessly."

"You old thing," Lin Xiaoling threw him a glare, "Xinxin’s looking for you about something, hurry up indoors and chat, it’s cold outside."

"Xinxin, I figured you should be back by now," Yang Mancang led Yang Ruxin into the main room, "So, what’s the matter?"

"Village head grandpa, I’m here to talk about opening a workshop again."

"That would be excellent," Yang Mancang slapped his thigh upon hearing this, "Whatever kind of workshop you say, we will fully support it."
