Yang Ruxin looked at Xun Hui with some surprise, "What did you say?" Her tone, however, became eerily calm.
"I..." Xun Hui suddenly found herself at a loss for words. She knew that what she just said was too much, but she really couldn’t bear to see Yang Ruyu get ruined like this. Was it right to just stand by and do nothing?
"Mother, what are you saying?" Sanni couldn’t help but shout, "How did we manage to live comfortably now? Wasn’t it Dani who fought with the people from the old house for us? If it weren’t for Dani, you would have died long ago, and we would have been sold..." Anyway, if you insist on keeping Yang Ruyu, I am going to leave with Dani..."
"Mother, why are you angry with Dani?" Sini also cried, "The eldest cousin always let the boys bully me and Xiaofeng. Why should she stay at our house now?"
"Mother, I want to follow Dani." Xiaofeng didn’t cry, but he went over to hold Yang Ruxin’s hand and looked earnestly at Xun Hui, "The eldest cousin only knows how to bully us. I don’t like her in our house. Mother, please ask her to leave." Although he was young, he was mature beyond his years. Comparing the past days with the present, he knew what was good and bad. Although he was also reluctant to leave Mother, he didn’t want to upset Dani.
Yang Ruxin’s heart was actually warmed. These little radish heads hadn’t been loved in vain.
"Mother, Ruyu has uncle and auntie." Unexpectedly, Erni also stamped her foot, "If you take care of her now, auntie might even accuse you of trying to steal her daughter..."
Yang Ruxin was stunned for a moment and looked at Erni. Had this girl completely changed her ways?
Erni felt somewhat embarrassed under the gaze, biting her lip, "When Mother was making clothes and shoes for the eldest cousin and cousin before, auntie said that Mother was trying to curry favor with her children..." At that time, only she was present and had been ridiculed by auntie.
Yang Ruyu lay on the cold ground, seething with hatred. Yang Ruxin was truly heartless—she had fainted, shouldn’t she be urgently moved back to her room and placed on the kang? What was the fuss about in the yard? And Xun Hui, too, was useless, not even able to persuade her own daughter...
Xun Hui hadn’t expected to be isolated, especially when Erni, who had always shared similar views to hers, was now opposing her. Could it really be that she was wrong? But then... she looked at the girl in her arms, whose pale complexion made her unable to harden her heart.
She hesitated for a while.
Yang Ruxin was no longer in a hurry. She thought if Ruyu wanted to lie down, just lie down; if she wanted to hug, just hug. Anyway, she wasn’t tired or cold. But in her heart, she was utterly disappointed in Xun Hui. This mother could not be abandoned, but from now on, she’d just ignore her in all matters. After all, she didn’t lack for food now, and it was as if she was fulfilling her filial duties for Yang Dani.
However, she wouldn’t allow Yang Ruyu to have it easy and subtly poked Xiaolun.
Xiaolun immediately swooshed down from Yang Ruxin’s wrist, then slithered behind Xun Hui, crawling up her back to her shoulder and hissing at Yang Ruyu, who was lying in her arms.
Yang Ruyu was actually just pretending to faint, her eyes occasionally opening slightly to check Xun Hui’s expression. Since her head was facing towards Xun Hui’s embrace, she wasn’t worried about being noticed by others, and Xun Hui wasn’t going to lower her head to check on her anyway. But, just as she opened her eyes, she saw a little green snake hissing with a similarly green forked tongue at her, and she couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed in shock.
