The next day, there were more and more people from the village who had heard that Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia had returned from the county, and even those who had come the day before came again.
In Yangshu Village, if someone in a family had a serious illness, people would bring gifts to visit. Although Ye Zi’an’s recent illness was not a new one, he had been to the county for his treatment. It had been more than twenty days, and according to the villagers, it was worth a visit.
Of course, if it had been Brother An alone in the past, no one would have visited him due to his reputation.
However, things were different now. Even if people weren’t concerned about him, they would still bring gifts to visit, considering Yang Dachuan’s family’s face.
As a result, there was a constant stream of people coming and going from the Yang Family’s home throughout the day.
However, there was one thing that Yang Chuxia found incredible, and that was that Yang Xiaochuan and Ms. Luo had also come.
Ms. Luo even confidently brought a piece of meat and two packs of brown sugar.
Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan couldn’t figure out what was going on in the minds of this Fourth couple, but Old Yang thought his youngest son had changed, so he was very satisfied.
Yang Chuxia didn’t see it that way. She knew that the couple must have had some ulterior motive. They were beyond redemption, and their true nature could never change.
As expected, she didn’t overestimate the couple, and their purpose was very obvious.
Only a day later, when Ye Zi’an had just gotten off his wheelchair and was practicing walking, Ms. Luo came to visit.
"Wow, Brother An can really walk now?" Ms. Luo saw Ye Zi’an walking step by step, slowly but surely, his legs finally looking the same and no longer limping like before.
"Didn’t you already know this yesterday? What’s so surprising?" Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes at her exaggerated reaction.
Ms. Luo didn’t take it to heart and chuckled instead.
Then she said, "Xiaxia, may I discuss something with you?"
"What is it?" Yang Chuxia looked at her suspiciously, thinking in her heart that it must be something unpleasant.
As expected, Ms. Luo said, "Xiaxia, you see, although my family has some money now, we can’t just be idle and spend it all away, right? We still need to save up for Xue’er’s dowry, don’t we?"
"So, what are you trying to say?" Yang Chuxia casually asked while keeping her eyes on Ye Zi’an, who was practicing walking.
"Well, didn’t you open a nut shop?" Seeing that Yang Chuxia didn’t react much, Ms. Luo continued, "To run a shop, we should rely on our own people rather than outsiders, right? Anyway, your Fourth uncle stays at home doing nothing every day, so why not let him work as a shop assistant in your shop?"
Learning from her previous experience, Ms. Luo didn’t say that Yang Xiaochuan should be the shopkeeper. Instead, she suggested that he be a shop assistant.
She thought to herself, surely being an assistant would be acceptable this time and that Yang Chuxia wouldn’t refuse out of face.
However, Yang Chuxia didn’t hesitate to say, "No!"
"Xiaxia, that’s not fair." Ms. Luo was displeased. "No matter how good an outsider is, they can’t be better than our own family, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia snorted coldly. "Fourth Aunt, don’t think I don’t know what you and Fourth Uncle want. If you’re thinking of having the run of my shop, don’t even think about it. If you two really want to make money, can’t you go and pick pinecones like many others in the village? Wasn’t your husband doing that a few days ago? Has he become too good for that now that you have money?"
After saying this, she continued, "Also, spring is just around the corner. It will soon be time to plant peanuts and soybeans. My shop needs these too. Can’t you grow them?"
