“My lord, your bill.” The young shop assistant called out from behind.
Yang Peili, however, didn’t look back and kept walking.
The shop assistant, having no other choice, handed the bill to Yang Ruxin, who was following behind.
A fleeting smirk crossed Yang Ruxin’s face.
She was pained to lose the money, but in the presence of strangers, she dared not voice her discontent, choosing instead to express her dissatisfaction in this subtle manner.
But it didn’t matter.
She would definitely not let the matter rest here.
At the very least, she wouldn’t let Xun Hui suffer for nothing.
At the very least, she would fight for so power for her own family, such as a separation.
Yes, at this mont she desperately wanted to separate from the family, unable to wait even a second longer.
If they didn’t separate soon, situations like this would likely keep recurring.
Everyone’s luck was finite, and it was bound to run out one day.
If, by that ti, one took a critical hit, it would be too late.
“Dani, you rest a bit.
I’ll go find sothing to eat.” Yang Baixiang sent his father and Li Yi out of the clinic, watching them drive away in the ox cart before returning.
He was also sowhat disgruntled that, upon leaving, his father hadn’t left even half a penny for Dani.
How were they to eat in the coming days?
Fortunately, as he arrived, he had brought with him ten copper coins, which he had saved up from before.
“No need.” Yang Ruxin shook her head.
“You stay here and look after my mother; I’ll handle it.” How could she let Uncle Xiaowu, who didn’t have a penny to his na, go out?
Moreover, she had a good reserve of food stashed in her space by now, which could co in handy at this very mont.
“Where will you get it?” Yang Baixiang was not at ease with Yang Ruxin going out alone at night.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Yang Ruxin waved her hand.
“Wait.” Yang Baixiang stretched out his hand and pulled out ten copper coins from his chest.
“Take these.”
“No need.” Yang Ruxin shook her head again, guessing that those ten copper coins were likely all the savings Uncle Xiaowu had.
Yet this honest man was also keeping a private stash, which showed that he too was beginning to resent the miserliness of the old hag Yang Anshi.
“But…”
“Uncle Xiaowu, to be honest with you, today when Sanni and I were collecting firewood, we caught a wild hare.
I brought it to the tavern in town and exchanged it for a hundred copper coins,” Yang Ruxin said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Yang Baixiang eagerly nodded.
“Uncle Xiaowu, you don’t think I’m being sneaky, do you?” Yang Ruxin asked with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
“After all, we haven’t separated from the family, and I kept it to myself without even telling the family.”
“How could that be?” Yang Baixiang gave a wry smile.
“Your grandmother, she…” He started to say sothing but then quickly changed the subject.
“Your sister-in-law is straightforward.
It’s good that you have beco wiser…” Otherwise, they might have gone hungry today and tomorrow.
Yang Ruxin’s face lit up with relief, glad to see he wasn’t foolish, and then she turned and went out.
Naturally, she had no intention of really going out to buy sothing; she just wanted to walk around on the nearby main street a bit and then take things out from her space.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the clinic, she saw Gu Yao.
“Are you hungry?” Gu Yao held a large oil-paper package in his hand.
“It’s still warm.
Let’s go inside and eat…”
“You…” Yang Ruxin frowned.
“Big brother heard about the troubles in your family and sent to help,” Gu Yao said, smiling, then reached into his pocket and took out a purse to hand over.
“Big brother said to use this for now…”
Instantly, Yang Ruxin’s nose tingled, but she quickly raised her hand and rubbed it to hold back the emotional surge inside, “Thank Gu Big Brother for .
I’m… I’m alright… Father left so silver…”
