Yang Donghu had been waiting for Zhao Luochuan at home but he didn't see him coming back. He went out for a walk and saw Yinchun. He heard from her that Zhao Luochuan had gone to the mountains with a longbow on his back. He had originally thought of bringing him back to comfort him, but now he had to give up.
The cakes that we didn’t bring back from the town last time must be made today, otherwise it will delay the shopkeeper’s business.
Zhao Fangchu was even more diligent in keeping track of the days than Yang Donghu. He never messed up when to make cakes and when to go to town. He ran over early in the morning without even eating.
Yang Donghu had something on his mind and was having a quarrel with Zhao Luochuan, so he had no motivation to do anything. Zhao Fangchu had been with him for a long time and saw that he looked listless and thought he was not feeling well, so he volunteered to take on all the work.
He was a quick learner and had almost mastered the art of making pancakes after a few attempts. From kneading the dough to dividing the pancake crust, he didn't let Yang Donghu interfere. He just watched from the side and corrected anything that was wrong.
Now the two of them seemed to have switched positions. Yang Donghu was enjoying his leisure time, thinking that at worst he could give him more money. He sat aside with some dough and thought about what new snacks he could make to sell.
It was now bright outside, so Yang Donghu did not close the gate of the yard. As the weather got hotter, the chickens at home were not kept in cages all day long, but were allowed to wander around in and out of the yard.
When Yang Yaoguang came, he didn't knock on the door. He walked straight into the yard and looked around first. When he saw those fat rabbits with his eyes as big as green beans, he suddenly had evil thoughts. He was thinking about taking these beasts back to the Yang family and giving them some money to his family.
"Donghu? Yang Donghu? Are you home? Come out quickly."
Such a disgusting sound would make people unforgettable after hearing it once. Yang Donghu frowned in disgust, knowing that the Yang family might not be able to hold back any longer.
He stood up and came out of the kitchen, showing no mercy, and said coldly to Yang Yaoguang: "Who let you in? Get out."
"Look at you, your temper is so bad now. You can't even speak properly. All you say is get out. How vulgar."
Yang Yaoguang didn't know if it was because he had been with Li Shangcai for too long, but after just a few words, Yang Donghu could see the pretentiousness in Li Shangcai. He couldn't help but feel nauseous, picked up the broom next to him, and raised his hand as if to hit him.
"None of your business. This is my yard. Get your dirty feet off the ground and get out of here right now, or I'm going to beat you up."
Yang Yaoguang jumped to avoid the broom and said angrily: "Okay, okay, it seems that you have really drawn a clear line between yourself and our Yang family. Do you think I want to come? If it weren't for grandma, I wouldn't want to stay in your shabby house."
He walked towards the door before he finished speaking, acting as if Yang Donghu was ungrateful.
"Stop." Yang Donghu called him, following his lead. "What's wrong, grandma? Explain yourself clearly."
Yang Yaoguang snorted coldly, secretly delighted in his heart, and turned around with an expression of being wronged: "After hanging out with these peasants for so long, I have become so vulgar. Next time, at least invite them in for a cup of tea. You don't even have the most basic courtesy. What a shame."
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Yang Donghu said with a cold face, throwing the broom in his hand at Yang Yaoguang's feet.
Yang Yaoguang cursed in his heart, you can act crazy now, but you will suffer later.
"Grandma has been ill from missing you. She hasn't been clear-headed these past few days, calling out your name all the time. I'm your grandson after all, and I can't bear to see you suffer, so I came here to tell you. If you still have a conscience, come with me back to see you. Bringing you medicine and serving you by your bedside for a day will repay the kindness of saving your life when you were a child."
This was said very frankly. If Yang Donghu hadn't known the true nature of the Yang family, he would have been fooled by him. However, he still pretended to be ignorant, but his face showed his concern for his grandmother. "Are you serious? Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you don't have to go. I can't bear to see my grandma suffer at her age. I didn't expect that you are becoming more and more cruel. You can even abandon my grandma. Forget it, just consider it an unnecessary trip for me today. You can go back or not. Just wait for the villagers to poke your spine."
Yang Yaoguang was filled with rage. He turned around and was about to leave the house so that others could see what was happening. Those who didn't know the situation would actually think he was a good man who was worried about his elders.
Yang Donghu sneered in his heart, what a pretentious person! Every word he said was more pompous than the last. If you want to leave, just go ahead. You kept cursing but didn't take a single step forward.
He put on a conflicted look, trying not to appear too deliberate. After a long moment of thought, he spoke with difficulty, "You're right. I was raised by grandma, so I should be by your side. I'll go with you."
When Zhao Fangchu heard that he was going to the Yang family, he hurried out of the house. He had never had a good face for the Yang family. He glanced at Yang Yaoguang with disdain, pulled Yang Donghu and whispered: "Dong Ge, wait a moment. Brother Dachuan is not at home. Why don't you wait until he comes back before going?"
He was a handsome young man, otherwise he would not have attracted the attention of the jackals. In his haste, he forgot to put down his sleeves that had been rolled up when he was making pancakes, revealing a slender white arm.
The boy's body was more like that of a man with a smaller frame, which Yang Yaoguang didn't like, as he felt that he felt dry and not as soft as a girl when he was hugged.
But he was also a lustful man. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at anything that looked good. His small, lustful eyes moved back and forth on Zhao Fangchu's body twice, and finally stopped at her waist and arms where her skirt was tied.
He thought he was looking secretly, but was still caught by Yang Donghu. Such a look made people uncomfortable.
Yang Donghu was afraid that he would miss Zhao Fangchu, so he stood up to block Yang Yaoguang's lustful gaze and patted Zhao Fangchu's hand comfortingly: "It's okay, I'll go back to see grandma. Dachuan went up the mountain and won't be back until the evening. I can't wait any longer. You wait at home. The earthen kiln is difficult to heat, you can't do it alone. Don't forget to ask Brother Fangyu to come and heat up the earthen kiln later. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"But..." Zhao Fangchu was about to say something when he was interrupted impatiently by Yang Yaoguang.
"What are you still dawdling about? If you don't go, I'll leave. Don't set foot in the Yang family anymore."
Yang Donghu gave Zhao Fangchu a reassuring look, and then left the house with Yang Yaoguang.
At the gate of the Yang family's courtyard, Yang Chunxue was waiting eagerly at the door. She didn't have time to pay attention to anyone who greeted her when passing by. She didn't return to the courtyard happily until she saw Yang Yaoguang successfully bring the person back.
