Without Yang Baifu present, Fang Tianze wrote the Selling Covenant, Yang Mancang served as the witness, and then both Dong Family and Yang Peili pressed their handprints.
However, just as Yang Ruxin took out the two taels of silver, Yang Anshi, who had been hiding behind Yang Peili, suddenly darted over and snatched the silver away.
Yang Ruxin was startled.
And Dong Family, who was originally reaching out for the silver, was stunned as well. When she finally understood what had happened, she burst into tears, "Mother, that’s the money for selling my daughter; you can’t..."
"Why can’t I? Even you are eating the Yang Family’s food..." Yang Anshi rolled her eyes and then turned and entered the house.
Yang Ruxin didn’t want to get involved any longer. She had already paid, so she nodded to Yang Mancang and turned to leave, but as she reached the doorway, she stopped, glanced at a dejected Yang Baixiang, and turned back to Yang Peili, "How much for this man?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Yang Baixiang showed a peculiar expression, "Xinxin, you..."
But Yang Ruxin looked at Yang Peili, "Will you sell this man? Although he’s a cripple, I can offer a high price..."
"Yang Dani, you’ve gone too far..." Yang Peili suddenly shouted, "Get out..."
But Yang Ruxin just chuckled, "Shout for what? Ten taels of silver, won’t you sell?"
"Xinxin..." Yang Baixiang was amused yet touched, harboring an indescribable feeling inside him. Even though Xinxin said she wanted to buy him, he didn’t feel the least bit insulted by it.
"Get out..." Yang Peili shouted again.
"If you decide to sell yourself, you can always come find me..." Yang Ruxin playfully winked at Yang Baixiang, completely indifferent to the old man’s fury. "Because I can foresee that, sooner or later, they will definitely sell you too. By then, you might not find as good a buyer as me... Think about it..." After that, she signed to Fang Tianze, Sanni, and the others, and they all left the Yang Family old manor.
The courtyard door was forcefully shut by Yang Peili behind them.
Sanni jolted with fright.
"Stroke the fur, no scare at all..." Yang Ruxin hurriedly stroked the top of Sanni’s head and muttered three times, "It’s okay, all is well now..."
Fang Tianze couldn’t help snickering, "Big Sister Xinxin, I thought you would be upset..."
"When I care, I indeed feel upset," Yang Ruxin smiled slightly, "But when I don’t care, whether they live or cry, it means nothing to me... To me, they are less than strangers..."
"Big Sister Xinxin is still sharp-tongued but soft-hearted," Fang Tianze teased, "You say you don’t want to get involved with the old manor’s affairs, yet when you hear Erya is in trouble, you still rush over here..."
"Hehe..." Yang Ruxin couldn’t help touching her nose, "Isn’t that because Erya is well-behaved? Besides, I’m already taking care of a bunch of little radishes, so what’s one more..."
"Big sister, we are not little radishes anymore..." Sanni murmured discontentedly.
"Should that be big radishes then?" Li Jiaya couldn’t help laughing.
"What nonsense are you spouting, watch me not spank you?" Sanni laughed along but reached out to tickle Li Jiaya’s underarm.
"Come on, come on..." Li Jiaya started frolicking with Sanni.
"Big Cousin Sister, buy me too!" Just then, suddenly from behind, a small figure rushed up and plopped down on her knees in front of Yang Ruxin!
