Li Xiang sighed, not insisting further, but she didn’t leave either. She was thinking that if a fight broke out, she could still take care of the two little ones, right?
Yang Ruxin glanced at Sini and Xiaofeng, "I know you two want to help, but you’re too young. What if you get hurt? So, go to Brother Gu’s next door and no matter what happens, don’t come out."
"But big sister..." Xiaofeng’s little face was tight with tension.
"You’re still young now, and by protecting yourselves, you are helping your big sister," Yang Ruxin said as she patted the heads of the two little ones.
The two little ones didn’t say anything more. They knew that they could only be a burden here and that, at least from next door, they could know what was happening here.
Yang Ruxin then instructed Erni and Sanni, "You two hurry and go seek help from your third great-uncle, fourth great-granduncle, and the village chief..." Her abilities could take on that gang of vampires, but she couldn’t lay a hand on them after all, as they were elders. In this place, it was normal for elders to beat and scold the younger generation, and even for men to beat women, and sometimes even killings went unpunished. However, if the roles were reversed and the younger generation struck or scolded the elders, that was unforgivable. She wouldn’t leave herself vulnerable at this time.
"I’ll take them over," Li Xiang said, leading Sini and Xiaofeng to the neighbor’s house.
Erni and Sanni sprinted off to find help.
However, after running a few steps, Sanni suddenly ran back, fetching the clay pot she used earlier to store eggs from inside the house.
"What are you doing?" Yang Ruxin was perplexed.
"We can’t leave the silver at home," Sanni said gravely, "I’m worried..." She feared that if Dani couldn’t stand up to their grandmother, their grandmother would enter and ransack the place as soon as she got the chance.
"Do you plan to run around the streets carrying the silver?" Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but find it both sad and amusing. She reached out and took the clay pot, "Give it to me, I guarantee no one will find it."
Although Sanni was worried that her big sister might squander the money, she also knew she couldn’t protect it herself and handed the pot over to Yang Ruxin, "You better take good care of it. You have to tell us before you spend any of it."
"Don’t worry," Yang Ruxin nodded, "From now on, our family will discuss everything together."
Reassured, Sanni ran off again.
Yang Ruxin secured the silver in her storage space, then turned and entered the house to pick up a kitchen knife. Though she couldn’t use it to kill anyone, she could still use it to intimidate.
Meanwhile, in the old Yang Family home, Yang Anshi had been uneasy all night after she heard her daughter’s analysis. So she rose early that morning, and Yang Baichuan and his wife, who had been pondering the whole night, quickly followed suit upon hearing her up so early.
"Mother, I think the family split was orchestrated by Dani," Yang Baichuan and his wife were now furious with Yang Dani, knowing that she had silver, how could they not be tempted? Imaginations began to run wild, "Otherwise, why climb the mountains just after splitting the family, even managing to hunt a Black Bear?"
"Yes, Mother," Feng Caie eagerly agreed, "I’m afraid that Xun Hui feigning unconsciousness was all an act, just so she could quietly get rich..."
Yang Anshi was already feeling uncomfortable, and upon hearing her son and daughter-in-law’s words, she felt convinced that Xun Hui’s fainting and the family split were all the doing of that bunch of lowlifes.
"Mother, we can’t just let this go, that silver belongs to the Yang Family. By rights, it should be in your custody," Feng Caie, seeing that Yang Anshi had not made any comment, quickly began to flatter her, "Look, our younger aunt should speak up too, her dowry can’t be shortchanged..."
