That group of people immediately took two steps back, always maintaining a safe distance from Yang Ruxin.
"Dani, you you you... don’t act rashly..." Yang Baichuan cowered at the sight of the kitchen knife, stammering now, "You still have younger siblings, they... they’re still young..."
"Since we’re going to die anyway, why bother with all this? Who let them be born into the Yang Family? They just have to suffer," said Yang Ruxin, stepping forward with determination. Holding the kitchen knife that glinted cold in the sunlight made her even more intimidating.
"You..." Yang Anshi was utterly lost for words at that moment, truly frightened that the other might recklessly come at her with a knife.
"Uncle Xiaowu, please quickly say something." At that moment, Yang Baihe smartly turned and pushed Yang Baixiang, who was standing outside, forward.
"Dani, don’t be impulsive," stumbled Yang Baixiang as he was pushed, but he didn’t bother with anything else and urgently pleaded with Yang Ruxin, "You can’t ignore everything for their sake."
"Uncle..." Yang Ruxin’s nose felt a bit sour, but she stopped in her tracks.
"Good child, Uncle Xiaowu is useless." Yang Baixiang suddenly began to sob, "Uncle Xiaowu is so useless..."
"You’re really not human," someone in the crowd sighed, "How difficult is it to deal with a black bear? Being able to get off the mountain alive is mercy from heaven."
The people around all nodded in agreement.
Yang Ruxin wiped away her tears, "The Black Bear was discovered and hunted by me and Brother Zheng Kuan. Do you know how dangerous it was then? We almost lost our lives. Fortunately, Brother Zheng Kuan knew some techniques, and we were able to survive... What’s wrong with me sharing a little silver? It shows that heaven pities us, Brother Little Liuzi and Brother Tie Dan helped without taking any pay, knowing our plight as orphans and widows in need of money. Yet you, as our relatives, instead of caring for our safety, only open your mouths to demand. Do you have no shame?"
"Mom, I beg you, since sister-in-law’s family has split off, just leave them be," Yang Baixiang suddenly turned and knelt in front of Yang Anshi, beginning to kowtow loudly.
"You..." Yang Anshi was so angry she almost passed out.
"Uncle Xiaowu," Yang Ruxin quickly went to pull Yang Baixiang up, "It’s useless, even if you kowtowed until you died, they wouldn’t let us go."
Unfortunately, Yang Baixiang’s forehead was already bruised and bleeding.
"Xiaowu, what do you mean? You heartless thing..." Yang Baichuan couldn’t help but shout at his brother.
"Uncle, there’s no need to yell at Uncle Xiaowu, because you have no right," Yang Ruxin looked at Yang Baichuan with a cold sneer, "I, a girl, had to enter the mountains to provide for the family, but you, grown men, don’t think about earning money for yourselves, but instead spend every day targeting your nephews and nieces for your own gain. Where is your pride? If you want silver, go into the mountains, go hunt the Black Bear. I promise even if I starved, I wouldn’t covet your share, and I would even admire you..."
"You..." Yang Baichuan was at a loss for words.
The people around also began to nod, and some even started to talk about families who had gone into the mountains and never returned, and the only one who had survived the deep mountains but lost an arm, Zheng Kuan...
"What’s it to you?" Seeing the tide turning against her, Yang Anshi suddenly shouted at the bystanders, "This is the Yang Family’s business, you’re idly worrying about things that don’t concern you... scram, all of you... scram..."
