63: Chapter 63: No More_1 63: Chapter 63: No More_1 Yang Ruxin didnât pay attention to Guan Qingshu, but Erni kept an eye on him and even nudged her at this moment, âBig sister, Guan Qingshu fell down and seems to be hurt.â
âIâm talking to you, Yang Erni.â It was then that Yang Ruxin finally glanced over and couldnât help but sigh, âWhat exactly is going on with you and Sanni?â
Erni frowned, not understanding her elder sisterâs meaning.
âWhen I paid attention to him, you all resented it, and now that Iâve let go and lost interest, why do you seem still dissatisfied?â
âIâm not,â Erni hastily waved her hands in protest when she heard this, âI was justâŠ
I just mentioned it.â She didnât have Sanniâs eloquence, and faced with such a question from her elder sister, she suddenly felt embarrassed, quickly lowering her head to work, but in her heart, she truly believed that what her big sister had said before was true, that she had indeed stopped focusing all her thoughts on Guan Qingshu.
The work of four people was fast, but as the sun rose higher, the temperature became hotter and hotter.
And there were always people passing by the roadside.
âUncle, why are only a few of you working here?
Where are the second and the fourth brothers?
Didnât they come back yesterday?â A dark-faced man carrying a hoe passed by the edge of the field, asking loudly.
It was the neighbor, Li Zhong.
âHaha, theyâre on their wayâŠâ Yang Peili had an uncomfortable look on his face.
âThatâs good, otherwise you few couldnât finish the work,â Li Zhong said as he walked away.
Yang Ruxin wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood up to look over at Yang Peili, noticing that the old man looked rather unwell.
Indeed, Yang Familyâs second and fourth brothers had been gone for two hours now, with no chance of returning, obviously shirking their duties.
As for the few at home, no one had come to bring them any water yet.
âGrandpa,â Yang Ruxin threw the wheat she was holding onto the ridge and then walked up to Yang Peili, âYou just raise two sons, right?â
Yang Peili stood up frowning, looking at Yang Ruxin.
âUncle Two and Uncle Four have been gone a long enough time to take a dump; I guess they canât make it back, huh?â Yang Ruxin said mockingly, curling her lips.
âTheyâŠâ Yang Peiliâs face turned even more unsightly.
âExactly, Dad, itâs too much for Second Brother and Fourth Brother to act like this,â Yang Baixiang also grew angry, for although he was honest, it didnât mean he was stupid, âThey just eat and laze aroundâŠâ
âLetâs finish the work before we talk,â Yang Peili knew this wasnât right but could only coax his son and granddaughter to complete the task before addressing the issue.
âWeâre always the ones working, finishing everything; what do they do?
If thatâs the case, we should rest too,â Yang Ruxin said, glancing at Yang Baixiang with a smile, âIn such hot weather, if we get heatstroke, weâll be the ones suffering.â She then called out to Erni, âLetâs go, if the adults wonât work, neither will we.â
âBig sister?â Erni looked at Yang Peili hesitantly.
âWhatâs the matter?â Yang Ruxin frowned, âThe ones who donât work get to enjoy their lives, while we who work have to endure beatings and hunger; we shouldnât bother then, of course, if you want to continue working, you stay.â
Hearing this, Erni quickly ran to Yang Ruxinâs side.
âDad, Iâm not working either,â Yang Baixiang also mumbled discontentedly.
âYou dare!â Yang Peili glared at him.
Yang Baixiang immediately shrank back a little.
âIf Uncle Two and Uncle Four dare, why canât we?â Yang Ruxin sneered coldly, âIt goes top down, itâs not right to bully us like this.â
âYouâŠâ Yang Peili was infuriated.
Yang Ruxin, however, didnât even look back and strode away.
