After digesting the food, the two went to the carpenter's house to order a bed, and then went to the supply and marketing department to buy a lot of things.
Because she had eaten too much for breakfast, Ruan Tang only had a bowl of porridge at noon and returned to the village.
When she arrived in the village, everyone was working in the fields.
Ruan Tang took a walk around the field and found that the foreign beans had already been planted. Father Xu was about to lead everyone to water the fields.
It hasn't rained since the Chinese New Year, and the fields are very dry.
An experienced old farmer in the village asserted that it would rain tonight, so let Mr. Xu take a break.
Before 12 o'clock, it really started to rain.
The villagers who were working in the fields hurried home, and Ruan Tang was also drenched in the rain.
"It looks like this rain will continue for a few days." Grandma Ji handed Ruan Tang a dry towel and urged her to go back to the house and change clothes.
She wasn't in a hurry since she was getting wet from the rain.
"Grandma, I just saw a lot of shepherd's purse sprouting by the field. How about we make some shepherd's purse buns?"
Grandma Ji hasn't eaten shepherd's purse buns in years due to her health, so she started drooling when she heard this.
They did it right away. Ruan Tang and Grandma Ji went out with umbrellas, swept around the fields, and picked a full basket of shepherd's purse.
Ruan Tang asked Grandma Ji to go back and pick up the shepherd's purse first, and then she went to sweep around the vegetable garden.
Zhang Xiaohua was playing with the children in the front yard. When she saw Ruan Tang picking shepherd's purse, she hurriedly said that there were also a lot of shepherd's purse seedlings growing in her vegetable garden and took Ruan Tang there.
The Dong family's vegetable garden was right next to the neighboring family's. After picking the vegetables at the Dong family's, Zhang Xiaohua went to the neighbor's house.
Later, they heard unspeakable noises coming from the utility room of their father's house.
Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes in disdain and whispered, "This couple is having sex in the utility room in broad daylight. They are so affectionate."
Ruan Tang had a bad feeling in her heart that the woman here might not be Shi's wife.
Wei Shi's wife came to see her today. She had a stomachache during her period and came to Ruan Tang for help.
Zhang Xiaohua thought of the noise the two men had made in the middle of the night, scaring her nephews and nieces so much that they were now afraid to sleep alone. She was so angry that she picked up a stone and smashed it at the door of the utility room.
After smashing the box, Zhang Xiaohua pulled Ruan Tang away and hid.
After a while, Shi came out, tidying up his clothes.
Not long after, Shi came back with the straw raincoat and saw that the woman was wrapped tightly in the straw raincoat and hat.
Even Zhang Xiaohua, despite her slow reaction, noticed something was amiss. "Why is Shi's wife so tightly wrapped up?" After all, they were a young couple, and mishaps were common. There was really no need to be so secretive. Who would do that every time they got impulsive?
"Oh my God, that can't be another woman?"
Ruan Tang nodded silently, "Most likely."
Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood the truth, "I knew it, Shi always beats and scolds his wife, how could they be so affectionate and do that everywhere? It turns out it's another woman..."
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard the back door of Xu's house open.
Then the woman in the straw raincoat hid back again.
"Du Xueqing, where are you? It's so late and you haven't cooked yet. Do you want to starve us to death?" Xu Yan came out from the vegetable garden and greeted Shi when he met him.
"Have you seen my wife?"
Shi shook his head.
Xu Yan didn't find the person, so he went to look somewhere else cursing.
As soon as Xu Yan left, Du Xueqing returned to the back door of Xu's house wearing a straw raincoat.
Zhang Xiaohua and Ruan Tang looked at each other in surprise, "No way, is it really Du Xueqing?"
Zhang Xiaohua never imagined that the woman having an affair with Shi was Du Xueqing. "What did she, an educated youth from the city, see in Shi?"
Ruan Tang thought about it and said, "Maybe he's attracted by his ability?"
"That's really capable, working on it day and night. If it was Du Zhiqing, it's no wonder that Shi was so eager to see him. Even if it rained a little, he would still get a straw raincoat and a straw hat..."
Both of them found it difficult to digest this situation. They sat in silence before returning home.
Ruan Tang returned home from her own vegetable garden. Just as she was about to close the back door, she saw Du Xueqing throwing out her straw raincoat and hat, and Shi went to pick them up.
Ruan Tang had never imagined that Du Xueqing would choose Shi to be her insemination partner. Shi was truly ruthless. Xu's father had murdered his father, Xinggen, and if he hadn't been stopped, he would have killed Xu's father. If Du Xueqing wanted to end her relationship with Shi after she borrowed his insemination, Shi wouldn't have agreed.
When Ruan Tang returned home, she told this story to Grandma Ji.
Who would have thought that Grandma Ji already knew about it.
During the day, when everyone in the village was working in the fields, these two people were often fooling around. Grandma Ji usually didn't work in the fields, so she would always run into them.
As they talked, they mixed the shepherd's purse stuffing and added some leftover dried bacon from the Chinese New Year to enhance the flavor.
The hot shepherd's purse buns came out of the oven, and even Grandma Ji ate three big ones.
After the meal, Ruan Tang used Lingquan water to make a bowl of hawthorn water for Grandma Ji, and asked her to sit under the porch to rest while she steamed the remaining buns.
"I'm going to the city tomorrow and will give some to Brother Ji to try."
Grandma Ji: "You are good at everything, but you spoil the child too much. Little brother Ji is not your son. He will have to start his own family and career in the future. Don't spoil him like this. If he gets used to relying on his brother and sister-in-law for everything, he will be ruined."
"Grandma, don't worry, our little brother Ji is very well behaved. If he becomes useless, I will show no mercy and beat him until his butt is bruised."
Grandma Ji smiled and let Ruan Tang go.
Just as the two were about to go to bed, the door of Ji's house was slammed shut by Xu's father.
"Ruan Zhiqing, are you asleep? My daughter-in-law is bleeding profusely. Go check if she has had a miscarriage."
When Ruan Tang heard the noise, she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly carried her medicine box to the Xu family next door.
Xu Yan's room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Du Xueqing was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Xu Yan was kneeling beside the bed.
"Qingqing, I was wrong. I really didn't know it would be so serious."
Du Xueqing saw Ruan Tang and stretched out a hand to her for help.
"Tangtang, save my child."
"Please, help me and my child."
When Xu Yan heard Ruan Tang coming, he quickly turned around and faced Ruan Tang. He trembled and asked Ruan Tang to save his child.
Father Xu kicked Xu Yan away and said, "You worrying thing, get away from me and don't delay Ruan Zhiqing from saving people."
Ruan Tang asked Xu's father and son to leave, and then looked down at Du Xueqing condescendingly.
"Are you sure you want me to save you?"
Du Xueqing nodded desperately with tears in her eyes, "Please, save my child. The rest of my life depends on this child."
Ruan Tang lifted the quilt and saw Du Xueqing's lower body was naked and bleeding. "How did you get like this?"
Du Xueqing's eyes flashed with venom, "That bastard Xu Yan, he insisted on sleeping with me regardless of my wishes!"
"You're right to divorce him even if you have to die. If I hadn't had nowhere else to go, I would never have married this beast."
Ruan Tang fed Du Xueqing a handful of medicine and a bowl of spiritual spring water. "The bleeding has stopped. Whether we can save the child depends on the child's life."
