1226: Chapter 1226: Entrustnt 1226: Chapter 1226: Entrustnt Yang Ruxin blinked rapidly, “This kid cos back for the New Year and his flirting skills have improved rapidly.”
“Dabao had just entered the door a quarter of an hour ago and they have been bickering for a quarter of an hour already,” Erni couldn’t help but chuckle and tease, “but I noticed that ngng isn’t angry…”
“Let’s not worry about them,” Yang Ruxin placed Zhou Ying on the ground, “Let’s go make so food now.
We must fatten our little darlings into little pigs…”
“Little pigs…” Sini and Erya laughed along calling Zhou Ying.
“You’re little pigs too, little pigs…” Zhou Ying joined in calling back.
The three little girls joyfully bounced around the courtyard.
In fact, Yang Ruxin didn’t understand why calling soone a little pig was so amusing, but perhaps this was the joy of children.
She was grateful to have the ability to let these little radishes live without worries.
For their sake, she had to keep striving.
“Ruxin,” just then, Gu Qingheng walked out from the guest room nearby, followed by two others.
Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, not knowing why, but she had a bad feeling.
“Lady Xinxin,” Zhou Jiang bowed to Yang Ruxin in greeting, “I’m troubling you again.”
“General Zhou,” Yang Ruxin quickly nodded, “I regard them as family.
It’s no trouble at all.”
“Good,” Zhou Jiang’s eyes reddened slightly but he quickly suppressed it, “I’m relieved they are with you.” A stranger could treat his children kindly, but his own kin…
Yang Ruxin frowned, “Let’s talk inside.”
Everyone else knew they needed to talk privately, so they didn’t follow inside but rather went to the kitchen with the children to prepare so treats.
Only Gu Yao and Zhou Jiang’s lieutenant, Lin Weiming, remained at the door.
“General Zhou, are you going to the frontline?” Yang Ruxin glanced at Gu Qingheng, then directly asked Zhou Jiang.
Zhou Jiang also glanced at Gu Qingheng, then nodded to Yang Ruxin, “Yes, I thought I could spend the New Year with the children, but…” he paused, “Ruxin, I’m at ease with Xiaoxiao and Yingying with you.” He pushed a wooden box he had placed on the table towards her, “This is a token of my gratitude.
Please don’t decline, or I won’t feel at ease…”
Yang Ruxin looked at the box, then opened it.
She slightly furrowed her brows, “General Zhou, are you worried that I might mistreat them?” He had given her jewels and several silver notes worth five thousand taels each.
By rough estimate, the items in this box were worth around eighty to a hundred thousand taels.
“Haha…” Zhou Jiang laughed, “Don’t misunderstand, Ruxin.
If you mistreat them, how could they dream of coming back?”
Yang Ruxin’s eyebrows slightly lifted.
“I won’t hide it from you, my parents died early, and I depended on my elder brother.
Later, during the draft, I took my brother’s place on the battlefield, survived countless near-death experiences, and gradually climbed to my current position.
I wanted to provide a better life for everyone, but…” Zhou Jiang’s face grew grim, and he clenched his fists, “But to my horror, while I was risking my life on the front lines and earning fortunes to let them live in luxury, they tried to kill my children…
If not for you, I would probably be spending a miserable life alone…
Now, I must return to the battlefield, not knowing how long I’ll be gone, or if I’ll return alive, so…
I entrust my siblings to your care…”
