"What?" Erni exclaimed suddenly, "He..." Then she sighed, "It’s a good thing we split from them, otherwise... It’s just that the two little cousins are pitiful now."
Yang Ruxin glanced at Erni.
"Big sister, if..." Erni hesitated, clearly wanting to say that if their uncle and aunt really had a serious fight, she would like to take care of the two little cousins, but she felt she shouldn’t say it. After all, it was hard enough for her big sister to support them, let alone the fact that their uncle and aunt had bullied them.
"Xuexue, are you being too sympathetic?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I..."
"It’s good to have sympathy, but you need to be selective about it." Yang Ruxin frowned, "Not to mention that Yang Baifu and his wife haven’t even truly fallen out yet. Even if they really divorce or separate, it has nothing to do with us. As for Daya and Erya, they can only blame their fate for being born into the wrong family..." It wasn’t that she was heartless; it was just that the children still had parents and grandparents. It was never her place to step in.
"Big sister, I understand. I won’t cause any trouble. I just felt sorry for them in that moment..." Erni exhaled deeply.
"Aren’t we pitiful too?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "You might think I’m heartless, but when we were being bullied, did any of them ever help us?"
"I understand, big sister." Erni nodded hurriedly, "It won’t happen again." Right, they were pitiful too, but back when they were being beaten and starving, that cousin Daya ate her cakes without offering to share even a little with Xiaofeng and Sini, who were even younger than her.
Yang Ruxin finally let out a sigh of relief. What she feared most now was getting entangled with the old house.
Because the sun was nice, the laundry had dried up by afternoon. Yang Ruxin took the Feng Family’s clothes she had been using before and went next door.
"Aunt Feng." Yang Ruxin saw Feng Family standing in the yard, looking somewhat pale, and immediately frowned, "What happened?"
"Xinxin, no..." Feng Family shook her head hastily, but her eyes were red, evidently from crying.
"What exactly is going on?" Yang Ruxin’s frown deepened even more. At that moment, she noticed the door was closed, and there seemed to be some muffled sounds coming from inside. She immediately started walking towards it.
"Xinxin..." Feng Family grabbed Yang Ruxin, then shook her head.
"Did something happen to Gu Qingheng? He..." Yang Ruxin’s heart sank suddenly. Just a few hours ago, she had teased him, and now...
"Xinxin." Just then, the door opened, and Gu Qingheng was pushed out by Gu Yao, "I’m fine..."
Yang Ruxin was taken aback when she saw Gu Qingheng’s face: "What happened to you? Why do you look so pale?" His usually impeccable handsome face was now as pale as paper, but the area around his eyes was red.
"Big brother had a bout of poisoning earlier," Gu Yao spoke, "His eyes and legs were in great pain..."
"It’s over now," Gu Qingheng raised his hand to stop Gu Yao from continuing, his voice much weaker, "I’m fine."
"Let me take a look at you," Yang Ruxin said as she pushed Gu Qingheng into the house.
"You..." Gu Yao was taken aback.
"I’ll take a look at him; don’t come in." Yang Ruxin said as she directly closed the door behind them.
