Xiaolun met Yang Ruyu’s eyes and seemed to laugh for a moment, but then her mouth widened, and she looked ready to bite down.
"Ah..." Yang Ruyu screamed, shoved Xun Hui away, and jumped up to run outside, yelling, "A snake... a snake...!"
Xun Hui was pushed so hard that she fell onto the ground, feeling a sharp pain where her tailbone hit, causing her to gasp in pain. Then, looking around as if she had just seen a ghost, she noticed Yang Ruyu’s retreating figure. Wasn’t she supposed to be faint? She scanned the area, but where was the snake?
"Wasn’t she supposed to have fainted?" Sanni laughed gleefully. "Mother, you see? She, Yang Ruyu, was just pretending... She just saw our family’s good life and came to mooch off us..."
Yang Ruxin, however, sneered coldly. Mooching? It couldn’t be that simple, could it? She had a gut feeling that Yang Ruyu definitely had some ulterior motives.
Xun Hui’s face turned a shade of ugly.
Erni glanced at Yang Ruxin, then hurriedly went up to help Xun Hui up: "Mother, did you hurt yourself?"
Xun Hui shook her head, then turned to look at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin didn’t look back at her, but instead bowed her head and gently stroked Xiaolun through her sleeve, murmuring, "Well done."
"Xinxin, I..." Xun Hui muttered.
"Aren’t you going to follow her?" Yang Ruxin looked up, "Now that Yang Baichuan is crippled, he loafs around at the Feng Family’s house every day. Yang Baifu has run off, with no news to this day. Yang Anshi is tormenting the Dong Family and Daya every day, and, by association, she’s also torturing Yang Baixiang..." She paused, "If you go back now, you could just save the Dong Family and Daya. Then, Yang Anshi will continue to torment you and leave them be..."
"I..." Xun Hui didn’t even know how to respond.
"But one thing, I’ve saved you once already, pulled you back from the grip of the Grim Reaper. So we’re even when it comes to the debt of saving a life. As for the debt of upbringing, I will raise your younger siblings. So, whatever you want to do, I won’t stop you. Please feel free." Yang Ruxin finished and took a deep breath, then looked after the youngsters, "Let’s go, we’re having dinner at Aunt Feng’s tonight; I’ll make dry pot chicken..."
The Gu Family.
"Xinxin, shall I call your mother over, so we can..." Feng Family knew that Yang Ruxin had left Xun Hui alone at home and was somewhat worried.
"There’s no need," Yang Ruxin shook her head. "She never learns her lesson, it’s useless whatever you say."
The Feng Family glanced at Gu Qingheng: "Well..."
"Xinxin, she’s still your mother, after all, you..." Gu Qingheng sighed. Honestly, those bad people weren’t scary; if they bullied you, you could just leave them. The scariest thing is an irrational relative. They may genuinely love you, but they always drive you crazy.
"It’s precisely because she’s my mother that I’ve tolerated her lack of discernment time and again. If she weren’t my mother, I would’ve slapped her long ago, why would I still keep her here to annoy me?"
Gu Qingheng could only sigh helplessly. He believed her, yet he also knew that this time, Xun Hui had really pushed her daughter to her limits. If Xun Hui continued this way, he was certain she would cut ties with her.
Xun Hui waited until there was no one left in the yard to finally know fear; she had indeed angered her eldest daughter. But she didn’t understand why she had upset her; was it just because she helped Ruyu a little? But in the past, when she took things from home for Guan Qingshu, her daughter hadn’t gotten upset, had she?
