961: Chapter 961: Thick-skinned (4) 961: Chapter 961: Thick-skinned (4) After the al, Yang Ruxin watched Gu Qingheng follow Dao Xuzi away before picking up the gift and preparing to enter the village, only to be stopped by Qian Xiaoyun.
“Xinxin,” Qian Xiaoyun had been living here for so many days, and with Dao Xuzi’s treatnt, her body and leg had improved a lot, “I should go back too.”
Yang Ruxin thought for a mont and nodded: “Then tomorrow, let Uncle Xu drive the horse carriage to send you back.”
“Thank you.” Qian Xiaoyun quickly bowed her head to eat, hiding her reddened eyes.
In fact, she had said too many words of thanks, but she didn’t know what else to say.
Yang Ruxin patted her shoulder, then entered the village.
She wasn’t in a hurry for anything else, but she was very concerned about Xiaoxiang’s marriage prospects, hoping Xiaoxiang could find a good family.
Aunt Hehua’s belly had already swelled up, looking quite alarming, so she didn’t go out much anymore, only walking around at ho and always needing soone with her.
Li Zhong hadn’t returned yet, and although Aunt Xinghua and Aunt Cuiyun helped out occasionally, the household responsibilities essentially fell on Xiaoxiang’s shoulders.
Nevertheless, the young girl was capable, keeping the house in order and taking excellent care of her mother.
“Xinxin, you finally ca.” Li Xiang was sweeping the yard.
Because Aunt Hehua would occasionally walk there, she always kept the yard very clean, not even a single pebble to be found, let alone accumulated snow, all for fear that the pregnant woman might inadvertently slip and fall.
“Our Xiaoxiang is so capable, whoever marries her will surely have good fortune…” Yang Ruxin teased as she walked inside.
“You naughty girl, always teasing ,” Li Xiang’s face flushed, “Are you saying the one who married you is not fortunate?”
“Both are fortunate,” Yang Ruxin chuckled with a ‘heihei’ laugh.
“You really have a thick face.” Li Xiang couldn’t help but laugh, putting down the broom, “Hurry inside.
My mother should be waking up soon.
I’ll get you a bowl of red date soup…”
“Thank you so much, virtuous Sister Xiaoxiang…” Yang Ruxin laughed twice, then entered the house.
Wang Hehua indeed had just opened her eyes: “I was in a daze just now, and I thought I heard your voice; I thought I was dreaming… I didn’t expect it to really be you.
You girl, where have you been?
Everyone has been worried…”
Yang Ruxin quickly went over to help Wang Hehua sit up, placing two pillows behind her: “Aunt, I won’t lie to you, these past days have truly been a matter of life and death.”
“What happened?”
“Mother let Yang Ruyu be sold, and I went into the mountains to save her, but we were trapped there for many days…” Yang Ruxin sneered, “All for ten taels of silver.”
“How could this be?
That girl…” Wang Hehua’s eyes widened in shock, “That day, Xinghua went to see your mother and ca back saying she was ill, but it wasn’t serious, so I… I never imagined… Ay, how could she be so heartless?”
“Aunt, let’s not talk about this with others, after all, my mother is a widow… Public opinion can be fearful.”
“I understand!” Wang Hehua took a deep breath, “No wonder that girl disappeared, probably ran away… Xinxin, we are fortunate to have you, you’re your mother’s good luck…”
Yang Ruxin laughed and changed the subject: “Aunt, your belly seems to be a bit exaggerated…”
“Yes, when I was pregnant with Xiaoxiang, it was a whole circle smaller than this, and it was only this size when nearing birth…” Wang Hehua touched her own stomach, “And after getting pregnant this ti, there wasn’t much reaction, but I started to get hungry easily, and I had a particularly big appetite, finding everything I ate delicious…”
