Sanni’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Big sister, how do you plan to deal with him?"
"There are many ways to teach someone a lesson," Yang Ruxin said with a sinister smile, "like putting them in a sack, or hitting them from behind with a brick. There are plenty of methods, and you can do it without anyone noticing... But remember, the premise of teaching someone a lesson is to protect yourself first. If you end up getting yourself in trouble while punishing someone else, then it’s not worth it, right?" She didn’t feel at all that she was leading her younger siblings astray.
Influenced by Yang Ruxin, Sanni had become even more fierce. When it came to teaching someone a lesson, she was absolutely unambiguous and even earned the nickname "Spicy Beauty," but that’s a story for another time.
"Mm," Sanni said, nodding earnestly at that moment, "I understand..."
Erni’s temperament was similar to Xun Hui’s, rather gentle, so she just chuckled and didn’t take it to heart. As for the younger ones, they were still too small to tell.
"Oh right big sister, our little aunt came back yesterday afternoon..." Sanni suddenly remembered something, her lips curling slightly, "Nanny had Auntie Four start stewing chicken soup from the morning, and the aroma filled the whole courtyard..."
The light in Yang Ruxin’s eyes flickered, Yang Baihe? She was the sweetheart of the old Yang Family, in Yang Anshi’s heart, this late-born daughter was more valuable than a son. When the daughter wasn’t there, it was like raising a son to provide for one’s old age, the son was one’s own, but as soon as the daughter appeared, all sons and grandsons had to step aside. Thus, stewing chicken soup and such was very normal.
As for the reason behind doting on Yang Baihe, the whole Yang Family knew. She was born with a noble destiny; when she was born, a withered rose in the courtyard unexpectedly bloomed. Of course, this alone wasn’t enough. When Yang Baihe was three years old, a destitute Monk came to the village. He begged at the Yang Family’s door, and Xun Hui, who was in the courtyard at the time, took the initiative to give the Monk a bowl of porridge and a pancake.
Yang Anshi was not pleased at first, after all, food was scarce. But the Monk said that as repayment, he would reveal a bit of the divine secret to the Yang Family, which was that the Yang Family was destined to have a noble daughter. This girl had an extraordinary destiny and would bring tremendous honor to the Yang Family. As long as she was present, the Yang Family would enjoy boundless wealth and status...
Upon hearing that, Yang Anshi was immediately overjoyed; needless to say, it must be the little girl. Therefore, from that moment on, already doting on Yang Baihe for being born later in life, she was pampered even more, being raised directly as a young miss. The silver, aside from providing for the eldest grandson’s education, was mostly spent on this little girl, while everyone from the main branch naturally became servants and maids.
Of course, when it came to Yang Baihe herself, after years of Yang Anshi’s relentless indoctrination, she always felt she was destined for a young miss’s life, bound for wealth and status, and as for others, they would be trampled under her feet. Therefore, she was always commanding and arrogant towards the people of the main branch, and not only them, she was no better towards others—even looking down on the villagers.
So, seeing Sanni’s expression, Yang Ruxin knew that Yang Baihe must have stirred up some trouble again and sneered, "Did she say anything?" As for the chicken soup, once they divided the family assets, she would make sure her younger siblings got to drink it.
