"Just remember, you can go, but you must be careful. Otherwise, there’s no one to take care of me, your mother, or your sisters," Liang Youcai glanced at his son.
"I know," Liang Tie nodded, then cheerfully went back to sleep in the room across the hall.
"This time, Dani will have an easier life..." Liang Xiaoyu was happy for Yang Ruxin, "That bear was obtained by Second Brother Gu and Dani together. I guess she can get quite a share. At least she won’t have to worry about Aunt Hui’s medical expenses anymore..."
"I don’t see it that way," Zhao Xinghua shook her head.
"Are you saying the Gu Family is stingy?" Liang Xiaoyu immediately frowned.
"I’m not saying the Gu Family is stingy; I’m saying even if Dani gets the silver, her days might not be peaceful..." Zhao Xinghua sighed, "Have you forgotten about Old Madam An? It’s not just her, every member of the Yang Family is like a vampire. If Dani really gets that much silver, whether she can protect it or not is another issue..."
"But haven’t they divided the family assets?" Liang Xiaoyu pouted, "How would they have the nerve to ask for silver then?"
"Have the people from the Yang Family ever had any shame? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have distributed the children while your Aunt Hui was unconscious... Just wait and see. I have a feeling that old woman is going to cause trouble," Zhao Xinghua shook her head, then sighed, "But luckily, Dani has become more formidable now; otherwise..."
Liang Xiaoyu felt downcast. It seemed she would need to remind Dani tomorrow to be prepared and best to hide the silver. Otherwise, once the Old Lady Yang made a fuss and caused the silver to disappear, Aunt Hui’s illness would have no cure, and maybe they wouldn’t even be able to get by.
The night passed without further conversation.
In the small courtyard of the Yang Family at the back of the village, Yang Ruxin was sleeping soundly when she was jolted awake by Sini’s scream, followed by a succession of alarmed cries. She quickly sat up with her eyes closed: "What’s the matter?"
But what she saw was Sini holding up two Big Ingots, her little mouth and eyes wide open with shock.
The others looked almost the same.
Seeing this, Yang Ruxin lay back down again. She thought something serious had happened, but those were just the ingots she had stuffed into everyone’s arms last night.
"Ingots..." Sanni was the first to come to her senses, "Sister, there are so many ingots..."
"Where did they come from?" Erni swallowed hard, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly tugged at Yang Ruxin, "Sister, these couldn’t be from yesterday’s Black Bear..."
Yang Ruxin nodded with her eyes still closed: "From yesterday’s Black Bear we’ve got ourselves two hundred taels..."
"So much?" Sanni exclaimed.
"Don’t shout, this must be kept a secret," Yang Ruxin sat up again, "Otherwise, do you want the people from the old house to come and snatch it?"
Sanni quickly covered her mouth, and the other little ones quickly covered their small mouths, only leaving their big eyes rolling around comically. They looked so adorable that Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but go over and pinch each of their little cheeks.
"Sister, how come there’s so much silver?" Erni was full of curiosity, "Was that bear really worth that much?"
"It’s because Second Brother Gu sold it to someone he knew. We were lucky; the Shen Family from the town needed it for the old madam’s birthday celebration, so they were willing to pay more," Yang Ruxin explained to everyone, "If we had sold it ourselves, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to get this much silver."
