“If my intuition is right, the one who snuck off to sell the giant turtle isn’t anyone else but that rascal, Jinshan!” Yang Ruqing slammed her fist on the table in anger.

Several women in the hall were astonished.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly put down the little garment in her hands and asked, "Qinger..."

Yang Ruqing turned her head to look at Sun Shi: "Mother, where is my father?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sun said, "After dinner, go to your uncle's place. What's up? Did you find your father for something?"

Yang Ruqing asked again, “Did my father go to the Jinshan family a few days ago?”

Sun said, "I have been too busy to…"

Before Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao An stayed home and celebrated with her family for several days. Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate! ?

When Xiao An left, Luo Tiejiang, the father-in-law, fell ill. Yang Huazhong often visited Luo Tiejiang's bedside to look after him and help take care of him.

At this point, both Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi were also supported by the third house. The foundation was still digging the last bit.

Now that Luo the blacksmith is recovered and the foundation is finished, all that's left is for Liu the Immortal to come take a look. Then we can have a proper groundbreaking ceremony and officially gather the craftsmen to start building the Taoist temple.

So Yang Huazhong just rested at home for these two or three days because of the continuous rain.

As for all of this, Yang Ruqing was naturally aware of it, but she habitually asked.

Upon hearing that Mrs. Sun was unavailable, Yang Ruqing immediately nodded in understanding. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Mother, please go call Father back for me. I have something to discuss with him." she said.

Mrs. Sun nodded and took an umbrella, rushing out quickly.

Here, Liu came over excitedly and asked Yang Ruqing, "Ruqing, you said earlier that it was Jinshan who sold the big turtle? But didn't you and Tang YaZi release that big turtle?"

Yang Ruqing glanced at Liu, then carefully recalled the events of that day, saying: "I and Tang Ya were truly released. We built a Taoist temple, emphasizing those things. That big turtle was hidden underground, its size so enormous, its claws covered in scales, it wasn't normal to begin with!"

“The tortoise within contains the Dragon Tortoise, yet another name for it is Xuanwu. It is as mysterious a spiritual creature as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, and Taoism venerates Xuanwu even more. In our Taoist temple, we will be enshrining the Xuanwu Emperor. Besides the practice of burning incense and releasing living beings, I dare not have any other thoughts!”

Yang Ruqing had never explained so much to Liu Shi before. Liu Shi was almost speechless, she listened in astonishment, but also suddenly understood.

Before, she also privately felt it was a pity that such a big turtle if taken to sell would definitely fetch a good price.

Qing'er and Tang Yazi went to release the fish, they probably didn't care about the few dollars.

Now I thoroughly understand the considerations involved.

"This big turtle... really evil? What will happen if you don't release it?" Liu tentatively asked.

"What would happen? Naturally, she'd be sick like Mount Jin!"

Mrs. Liu looked at the eldest daughter-in-law: "Jin Shan came down with a strange illness. Wasn't it said that Jin Shan took a giant turtle to the county town to sell for money?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Great-grandson, he fell ill because he sold the giant tortoise. I understand everything now. This 'gold mountain' is fake. He was always pretending to be sick. The real reason was to have time to secretly sell the giant tortoise."

"Whether or not the giant turtle was eventually sold, we don't know. But what we do know is that after Jin Shan returned home, he truly fell ill!"

Dà Sūn's mouth opened and closed quickly, as if she had read Yang Ruòqīng's mind and blurted out every guess she had.

Then, he turned to Yang Ruqing and asked, "Ruqing, do you think my analysis is reasonable?"

Yang Ruqing nodded without hesitation: "Exactly as I thought! So, I told my mother to call my father back, just to discuss with him about going to the Jinshan family!"

Luo Fengtang went to the academy and wouldn't be back until evening. Yang Ruqing didn't want to disturb him for such a trivial matter. Yu had discussed it with Yang Huazhong, and they set off to the Jinshan family while the iron was hot.

"Third Brother, Qinger, take me with you, take me with you!"

Knowing a bunch of insider information, the Liu family couldn't sit still. She wouldn't even eat or sleep until she went to see the aftermath with her own eyes. She couldn't even squat in the toilet properly!

Yang Huazhong hesitated for a moment, not wanting to bring her along. However, Yang Ruqing surprisingly agreed for the first time ever.

"Okay, Auntie Four, let's go together!" Yang Ruqing said.

The Liu family is like a paparazzi, sometimes annoying, but sometimes you need people like that.

Why?

Because Jin Shan is a greedy and deceitful little man, he needs someone like Liu Shi to be his "megaphone" and expose Jin Shan's misdeeds.

Because he was present at the scene, saw and heard with his own eyes and ears, this will make Liu's words more convincing in the surrounding villages.

Liu's family was overjoyed and followed Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruqing to the village where the Jin Shan family lived.

All along the way, Liu kept her eyes on Yang Ruoqing's back. The more she looked, the more she felt that everyone else in her husband's family was annoying, except for this niece, who truly made people fond of her. The more she looked, the more pleasing she became!

The village where Jinshan's family lived wasn't very far from Changping Village. It took a while to get there, passing through a large field and finally going through a small grove of trees. Behind the grove was a mountain, which was actually an extension of Mianniu Mountain.

The village of the Jin Shan family was located at the foot of a mountain, with about thirty or forty households. Yang Ruqing had passed through here once before, ten years ago when there was a flood and they were digging to clear the waterways.

In the blink of an eye, it had been ten years since I last set foot in this small village just a few miles away.

As you can see, the world is so vast, in a person's lifetime, there are truly only limited places they can go.

But then again, everyone's activities are mostly confined to the few places closely related to their lives. When there's nothing going on, there's no need to wander around other villages.

The three of them quickly entered the village.

Yang Huazhong knew the way. Following their pre-arranged plan, he first went to look for Yinshan, and then let Yinshan lead him to his cousin Jinshan's house.

"Hmph, not a single decent house in this whole village. Look at these shacks! Back in our village, they'd be the worst of the lot, barely even fit for squatters. But here, they're all you see..."

Liu walked along, her gaze sweeping over the humble thatched huts lining the road. She couldn't help but purse her lips and let out a look of disdain in her eyes.

Yang Ruqing turned her head to glance at Liu, and warned in a low voice, "Fourth Aunt, since we've arrived in a different village, if you have anything on your mind, don't speak ill of others' circumstances. Be careful not to invite trouble with careless words!"

Yang Ruqing intentionally frightened Liu's family.

As long as Yang Ruohqing is around, even if Liu's words upset others, nothing bad will happen.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Because of her name, Yang Ruqing, and the name, Luo Fengtang, everyone within ten miles was aware of them.

>

In the eyes of these common people, they are already officials, high and mighty figures who cannot be offended.

However, Yang Ruohuang and Luofengtang, the couple, have always been down-to-earth in the village. They've always been this way, and they still are.

As for the constraint on Liu's family, Yang Ruqing felt that evaluating someone else's material conditions in this way was impolite and uncultured.
