Yang Ruxin looked at Feng Caie with disdain and let out a smug smile, then turned and walked away—of course, not forgetting to cough twice.
Feng Caie’s hands were aching from the clapping, and in the end, she had no choice but to give up. She accepted her misfortune but felt another wave of nameless anger rise within her, naturally directed at Yang Ruxin.
"Yang Dani." Feng Caie hurriedly chased after Yang Ruxin who had walked a considerable distance away. "You stop right there!"
Yang Ruxin turned around and coughed several times at Feng Caie. "Second Aunt..." Her voice was still hoarse.
"You... you..." Feng Caie stopped in her tracks, "You really have tuberculosis?"
"What do you think?" Yang Ruxin curled her lips into a smile.
"You... you really were pretending, you little wretch..." Feng Caie suddenly realized and raised her hand to strike.
However, just as she raised her arm, she took a solid hit in the stomach and immediately cried out in pain. She staggered back several steps, failed to keep her balance, and ended up sitting on the ground with a throbbing pain in her tailbone that took her a long time to get up from.
"Feng Caie, who’s the fool here, you or me?" After slapping Feng Caie across the face several times, Yang Ruxin then whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your man beat my mom to an uncertain fate, and now you want to sell us sisters for money. Do you think I’d listen to you? Haven’t you realized yet? I’m not the old Yang Dani who let people walk all over her..."
Feng Caie looked at Yang Ruxin in terror.
"You’d better pray that my mom is okay." Yang Ruxin got up, but she had no intention of letting Feng Caie off easily. She glanced around and noticed a foul-smelling ditch not too far away. Her eyes lit up; she struck Feng Caie unconscious with one blow and then looked back. "Little Yaozi, aren’t you going to come and help?"
Gu Yao had no choice but to come out, feeling a bit frustrated at having been exposed.
"I saw you earlier," Yang Ruxin explained, "Now help me throw this old woman into that dung ditch over there..." Actually, she also felt another person’s presence, but since they were not someone she knew, she decided to ignore it for now.
Gu Yao nodded. "Shall we just drown her?"
"No," Yang Ruxin shook her head, "I don’t want to soil my hands." She had never killed anyone and had no intention of starting now.
Gu Yao smiled, then picked up Feng Caie and accurately tossed her into the smelly ditch.
"Thanks," Yang Ruxin smiled, "I must hurry and find my second uncle..." With that, she rushed off.
Gu Yao glanced at Zhao Feihu’s courtyard, then turned and left. He had to go back and report, to reassure his brother that there was no need to worry too much in the future. This woman was fierce; those who could bully her probably hadn’t been born yet.
Yang Ruxin hurried back to the medical shop. "Uncle, where’s Uncle...?"
Yang Baichuan quickly stood up. He had been chatting with Yang Baixiang in the courtyard. "Dani, where’s your second aunt?"
"It’s not good, second aunt fell into a ditch, and I couldn’t pull her out..." Yang Ruxin looked extremely worried, "Uncle, hurry and have a look, it’s over on the west side..."
Yang Baichuan rushed out at once.
Yang Ruxin smiled, then turned and entered the courtyard.
"Dani, what happened to your second sister-in-law?" Yang Baixiang was also startled.
