The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"Okay, Mother believes in you. Eat your food like a good boy, rest for half an hour after you finish, then head to the study. Even though your father isn’t home, he has left your lessons prepared."

"Aw woo..." The little guy howled before saying, "I knew it, dad’s love for me is forever embodied in my schoolwork."

Yang Chuxia chuckled, thinking to himself that he had understood it quite accurately.

After Ye Zi’an left, Yang Chuxia didn’t feel that life slowed down at all while looking after the child and helping Ms. Wang prepare for Yang Qingrui’s wedding.

The month flew by quickly, and before they knew it, the August festival was approaching, which meant they couldn’t miss sending out festival gifts to each family.

What they hadn’t expected was to receive a gift from the county government this year.

The new County Magistrate’s family had always had little to do with them; Yang Chuxia didn’t know why they sent a festival gift this time, but she didn’t think much of it and had someone return the favor with a gift.

"Madam, it seems that Auntie Hong isn’t doing well." Sister-in-law Li and Brother Li, who had gone together to deliver festival gifts, reported back to Yang Chuxia upon returning from the town.

"What do you mean ’isn’t doing well’?" Since Mu Shaoling mentioned he had taken on Constable Hong’s wife as a patient, he had been helping out with her treatment. Just last month, he had said she was improving, so how could she be deteriorating now?

"They say she stopped being able to eat the day before yesterday, and today she couldn’t even swallow soup." Sister-in-law Li said, "When I went to deliver the festival gift, I happened to see Divine Doctor Mu there, and I overheard him telling Constable Hong to prepare for the worst, fearing that she only had a couple of days left."

"It’s that serious?" Yang Chuxia exclaimed in shock.

"Yes!"

Auntie Hong of the Hong Family indeed departed quickly; the day after Sister-in-law Li delivered the festival gift, Constable Hong sent a message saying Auntie Hong had passed away.

Upon hearing the news, Yang Chuxia and Yang Dachuan went together to offer their condolences.

She hadn’t seen Auntie Hong in her final moments, but according to Sister-in-law Li, she looked as thin as a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin.

Yang Chuxia felt some sadness over Auntie Hong’s passing. She was not old, yet gone too soon.

"Mother, what’s wrong with you?" Seeing her in a low mood, Yangyang asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, have you finished your homework?"

At the mention of homework, Yangyang immediately turned away, but upon hearing Yang Chuxia’s laughter, he turned back, "Mother, can’t you ask about homework later? It’s really annoying to hear about it so much."

"Annoying as it may be, I still have to ask."

"Fine, fine." Yangyang spread his hands in resignation, "I’ve finished my homework."

"Then go and play."

But Yang Chuxia noticed that the little fellow was dawdling and reluctant to go, "What’s wrong? If you don’t want to play, then stay and keep your younger siblings company."

At that, the little guy scratched his head, looking troubled, "Mother! Why doesn’t brother write to us?"

"Madam, a letter has arrived from Capital City." Just as Yangyang finished speaking, Mingcui came in with a letter.

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear, it must be a letter from your brother." Hearing that it was from Capital City, Yang Chuxia quickly smiled and took it, opened it to find, sure enough, a letter from her eldest son. The first page was written by him, and the following two were by Ye Er.

"Mother, is it from brother? Is it?"

"It’s from your brother." Yang Chuxia’s eyes welled up with tears as she read, going over the letter several times before handing it to Yangyang, "Here, take a look for yourself."

The little one sure had guts, daring to get into fights with the imperial grandsons in the palace. But as long as her son was safe, that was enough for her.

"Mother, it’s not fair to trouble people like this, I don’t recognize some of the words on here."
