65: Chapter 65: Lun Dou Water_1 65: Chapter 65: Lun Dou Water_1 Yang Dongshiâs mouth twitched as she opened her mouth to retaliate, but seeing that her mother-in-law had already entered the room, she quickly shut it.
She wasnât foolishâYang Dani was obviously becoming crazed, and Yang Dongshi had no desire to provoke her.
Inside the room, Xun Hui was having a stare-down with Sanni, while Sini and Xiaofeng each clung tightly to Xun Huiâs arms.
âAre you two having a cockfight?â Yang Ruxin frowned, not needing to ask to know what was happeningâit must have been Xun Hui wanting to go out and work, but Sanni obeying her order not to let her out.
âDani, youâre finally back.
Mother, sheâŠâ Sanniâs face lit up with joy and relief at the same time.
This was the first time she had openly defied her mother.
âThatâs enough, stop talking.
Everyone, come and drink some mung bean soup,â Yang Ruxin waved her hand, placing two bowls of mung bean soup on the table.
Sini and Xiaofeng immediately released their hold with delight and ran to Yang Ruxinâs side.
Xun Hui, who had been cautious not to hurt the children, hadnât used much force until now.
Finding herself free, she quickly got up, but just as she reached the door, Yang Ruxinâs voice came from behind her.
âMother, do you really want to go out?â
Xun Hui paused in her steps, turning around to look at her oldest daughter with a conflicted expression.
âIf you want to go out, I wonât stop you, but if you faint or get sick again, I wonât be taking care of youâŠâ Yang Ruxin took a sip of the mung bean soup, then called the younger ones over, âCome here.
Thereâs sugar in it.â She glanced at Sanni and Erni, âThe two of you drink that one.â
However, none of them moved, watching Xun Hui with concern.
âDani, IâŠâ Xun Hui said with a face full of astonishment, âPeople will gossip.â
âLet whoever wants to gossip, gossip,â Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow, âAs if we havenât faced criticism even when weâve been careful and diligent before.â
Xun Hui bit her lip.
âI shouldnât be speaking like this, but I have no choice.
I donât want any accidents befalling anyone in our family, so now I have to be tough.
You have two choices: either go out and continue being the faithful and filial daughter-in-law, and if you end up dead from exhaustion or abuse, thatâs your choice; I wonât intervene, but I promise to try my hardest to raise the little ones,â Yang Ruxin looked up at Xun Hui, âOr go back to bed, heal your wounds, and as for everything else outside, Iâll handle it.â She then stopped looking at Xun Hui and pulled the little ones close to her side.
All the children watched Xun Hui with wide eyes.
Xun Hui, terribly conflicted, stood still for a long time without moving.
Eventually, she let out a sigh, turned, and sat down on the bed, her hands twisting together tightly.
Yang Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although her words were harsh, how could she not do anything if something really happened?
It was best that Xun Hui had decided to stay.
âHurry up and drink the mung bean soup.â Yang Ruxinâs lips curled into a smile as she took her large bowl, poured a little into it, and handed it to Xun Hui.
âIâŠâ Xun Hui wanted to refuse, but meeting Yang Ruxinâs gaze, she simply couldnât and accepted the drink with a dazed look.
Yang Ruxin then fed the rest to Sini and Xiaofeng.
âDani, drink,â Sini pushed the bowl toward Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin smiled, took a small sip, and then fed a mouthful to one and then another, quickly finishing off the half bowl of mung bean soup.
âSo sweet,â Sini smacked her lips, smiling very contentedly.
