The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Actually, what he wanted to say was, "It’s just a kiss, what’s there to be so proud of?"

Alright, he wasn’t able to express himself that way and could only bluntly say, "Brother dumb."

When Yang Chuxia heard this, she turned around and hugged him, "You little rascal, you mustn’t call your brother dumb, okay? Brother is very smart."

But Lele wouldn’t give face and still shouted, "Brother dumb!"

Yangyang, nestled in Ms. Wang’s arms, naturally also heard his brother’s words. Although he couldn’t say three words together, he knew this wasn’t anything nice and pointed his finger towards Lele, then yelled, "Dumb, dumb!"

The implication was clear, "You’re dumb, you’re dumb!"

So, all the way there, the two kids kept squabbling over who was dumb.

However, during normal times, everyone would have stopped to tease these cute babies, but at this point in time, everyone’s hearts were heavy, and they didn’t have the mood to tease the children.

Especially for Yang Da’an’s family, when Old Yang was around, he was their support. Now that Old Yang was gone, things became awkward for them. After all, they weren’t really part of the Yang family, and there was the matter with Old Lady Hua before.

Yang Xiaochuan, meanwhile, had kept insisting on driving out the first branch of the family. Yang Da’an was worried that once Old Yang passed away, Yang Xiaochuan would chase them out.

In fact, he was really worried for nothing. If Yang Xiaochuan used to harbor such thoughts, he certainly didn’t now. As for why he always said he wanted to chase people out, it was simply out of habit, a loose tongue.

Even if they didn’t share the same father, they had the same mother and had grown up together. How could there be no affection? As for the past, who hasn’t been foolish at some point?

After paying respects to Old Yang, Yang Da’an and Yang Xiaochuan didn’t return to the old house but stayed waiting at the third branch of the family. Ms. Liu and Ms. Luo went home first.

Since Yang Chuxia lived closer, she took the kids and went home first as well.

Then she called for Fugui and Li, and took out some of the packed items. If Old Yang really did pass away, she would at least have to wait until after the fifth seven-day period after death to leave.

Ever since she saw Old Yang during the day, she knew he would pass away in these few days. However, in her heart, she still hoped it was just a serious illness that would get better afterward, but her hopes were in vain. In the middle of the night, someone from the Yang family came knocking on her door, saying Old Yang had gone.

In that moment, Yang Chuxia felt a chill in her heart. Over the years she had been there, she had formed a deep bond with the family, and upon suddenly hearing of a relative’s passing, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Madam, please restrain your grief!"

People from the Ye family also got up and inevitably offered their consolation upon hearing the news.

Yang Chuxia steadied her heart and then took out the mourning clothes she had prepared. She then said to Li, "Take good care of Lele and Yangyang in the next few days. They’re still young. After they bow with me later, take them back home. Afterwards, they should just bow every morning, that will be enough."

"Yes, I understand," Li replied. But then she thought about it and added, "Perhaps the little master shouldn’t go now. It’s better to wait until tomorrow. With the person freshly gone, I fear the yin energy will be strong. The children are still young, and in this servant’s opinion, we should go bow to Old Grand Master on the first day, and then once more at the funeral. That would suffice to fulfill the children’s filial duties."

Li thought that, after all, these were not children of the Yang family, and even if they didn’t go every day, no one would have anything to say.

"Right, you’re reminding me well. They always say children’s eyes are the brightest. We shouldn’t frighten them again."

As a mother empress, though she didn’t quite believe in some things, she had no choice but to believe, especially since she herself was an unsolved mystery.
