"Cousin, I’m begging you on my own behalf," Yang Rusong sniffed, "I will remember this favor, and I will repay it myself in the future. It has nothing to do with the family..."
"Hehe..." Yang Ruxin, however, laughed exaggeratedly with her mouth wide open for a few moments, then her expression suddenly darkened, "I don’t believe you."
Yang Rusong was looking at Yang Ruxin laughing, thinking she would agree, but with the sudden change, he was taken aback, and being not particularly articulate to begin with, he was even more at a loss for words.
"Xinxin," Feng Caie suddenly stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped herself twice, "Your second aunt knows she was no good before, and I’ve wronged you. But haven’t you already punished me?" She scared her, and even threw her into a stinking ditch, she remembered it all too well.
Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows.
"Please, help Rusong, he’s worked so hard, he really can’t be ruined..." said Feng Caie with genuine fervor. Upon finishing, she suddenly knelt down, then turned and pulled at Yang Baichuan. Her father was a Scholar; his title had really brought quite a few conveniences to her family. Not to mention the tax exemption, which was very attractive. If the Yang Family’s land hadn’t been registered under her father’s name, would the old lady Yang Anshi have favored her so? Therefore, she couldn’t stand to see her eldest son destroyed like this.
Yang Baichuan also knelt down then.
Yang Ruxin’s gaze turned to Yang Peili.
"Xinxin, we must be grateful," said Yang Peili, hurrying to speak.
"Seeing as that’s the case, I’m not one to ignore someone in dire straits. Even if it were a beggar, I’d be willing to help," Yang Ruxin smiled, "Get up."
"Thank you..." Feng Caie, elated, quickly wiped away her tears and stood up, but didn’t bother with Yang Baichuan.
Yang Rusong’s tears turned into a smile as well.
"How will you handle it? There are witnesses," Lin Yue’e frowned, "Yang Ruxin, you mustn’t show favoritism..."
Yang Ruxin didn’t even look at Lin Yue’e, but instead turned to the surrounding people: "Let me ask everyone a question first, do you know how babies are made?"
The crowd was momentarily stunned, then embarrassment crept onto their faces—some of the younger and more bashful even blushed—Gu Yao felt embarrassed as well, and couldn’t help but tug on Gu Qingheng’s sleeve.
Gu Qingheng simply smiled and said nothing.
Gu Yao could only sigh. His elder brother’s indulgence in his sister-in-law had reached a point of blindness. Was it really proper for a young woman to speak of such matters in front of a crowd?
Of course, Gu Yao wasn’t the only one thinking this.
"Ahem..." Yang Mancang coughed twice, "Xinxin, this..."
"Village chief, my fellow villagers, there’s no need to be embarrassed. The world has men and women, and the reason our generations continue is that women can have children. Isn’t it true that if you don’t have children in your house, you cannot hold your head high?" Yang Ruxin smiled, "Besides, isn’t the purpose of marriage between men and women to have children? What I’m asking is if you know what happens when men and women come together that results in children?"
"This..."
"Xinxin, go ahead and tell us," Little Liuzi suddenly shouted, "Let’s all learn something."
"Alright, I’ll give a simple explanation. When a man and a woman come together, it’s actually the man’s essence and the woman’s..." Yang Ruxin then straightforwardly started to educate everyone on some basic physiology.
