"Big sister, you didn’t see, Uncle Four and Uncle Two were fighting fiercely, nobody could pull them apart, and even Grandpa ended up with a black eye," Sanni said excitedly.
"Really?" Yang Ruxin frowned.
Sanni vigorously nodded, then detailed what she had seen, lowering her voice at the end, "Big sister, I secretly asked Uncle Li just now, and he said that Yang Baichuan might have a hard time recovering... Uncle Four was really ruthless..." She paused for a moment, "But Yang Baifu’s ear won’t recover either, because the piece bitten off was swallowed by Uncle Two..." Saying this, she grimaced to show her disgust.
"I told you not to go near, but you wouldn’t listen," Zhou Xiao scolded as he glanced at Sanni, "Now you’re grossed out, aren’t you? Let’s see how you eat meat tonight..."
Sanni couldn’t help sticking out her tongue, then cast a sideways glance at Zhou Xiao, "Didn’t you watch too? Why aren’t you disgusted? Besides, I was just startled by the blood, that’s all. Why can’t I eat meat now?"
"I’m a man, why would I be disgusted by something like that?" Zhou Xiao said with a proud arch of his eyebrows.
"You’re even younger than me," Sanni pouted, "still a man, huh? Big sister says we’re all just brats..."
"But I’m taller than you; I’ve already become a man..."
"Enough, you two brats stop bickering and go next door to see if they’ve finished whittling those bamboo skewers," Yang Ruxin said as she viewed the two little ones, her face betraying a sense of amusement, "Once they’re done, have them come over to skewer the meat."
Sanni then made a face at Zhou Xiao and turned to run outside; he hurriedly followed.
Yang Ruxin’s expression, however, turned serious. This outcome was beyond her expectations, the viciousness of those two chilling her to the bone, injuring each other to such an extent. It seemed she had underestimated Widow Lu’s charm.
"Xinxin, you think they..." Xun Hui and Erni, who had been helping cut the meat, had also clearly heard the news, and now Xun Hui couldn’t help but speak up, "Will they be all right?"
Yang Ruxin raised her eyes to look at Xun Hui.
"Both seem quite seriously injured; won’t that break the family apart?" Xun Hui said to herself, not noticing Yang Ruxin’s grave face.
"What does it have to do with us?" Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but interrupt Xun Hui’s words.
"But after all, they are..." Xun Hui looked puzzled and instinctively retorted.
"After all what?" Yang Ruxin suddenly slammed the meat cleaver onto the chopping board, her brows tightly knitted as she stared at Xun Hui, "Are you trying to say that after all, they are our family? But do they deserve it?" Although Gu Qingheng had advised her to be patient with Xun Hui and not let her be consumed by stubbornness, each time she saw that conflicted, hesitating look, each time she saw that sanctimonious attitude of returning evil with good, her temper would flare up. If Xun Hui weren’t Yang Dani’s own mother, she wouldn’t even bother. Honestly, with such a nature, don’t tell her about kindness; this was a classic case of forgetting the pain once the wound heals. Such a person, if not abused, who would be?
"I..." Xun Hui shivered in fear.
"Big sister, mother didn’t mean that, she just feels sorry for them..." Erni noticed the ugly look on Yang Ruxin’s face, knowing that big sister was truly angry, and hurriedly tried to explain, "Actually, I also think they are quite pitiful..."
