âMy lord, your bill.â The young shop assistant called out from behind.
Yang Peili, however, didnât 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 Ruxinâs 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 didnât matter.
She would definitely not let the matter rest here.
At the very least, she wouldnât let Xun Hui suffer for nothing.
At the very least, she would fight for some power for her own family, such as a separation.
Yes, at this moment she desperately wanted to separate from the family, unable to wait even a second longer.
If they didnât separate soon, situations like this would likely keep recurring.
Everyoneâs luck was finite, and it was bound to run out one day.
If, by that time, one took a critical hit, it would be too late.
âDani, you rest a bit.
Iâll go find something to eat.â 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 somewhat disgruntled that, upon leaving, his father hadnât 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.
âNo need.â Yang Ruxin shook her head.
âYou stay here and look after my mother; Iâll handle it.â How could she let Uncle Xiaowu, who didnât have a penny to his name, go out?
Moreover, she had a good reserve of food stashed in her space by now, which could come in handy at this very moment.
âWhere will you get it?â Yang Baixiang was not at ease with Yang Ruxin going out alone at night.
âYou donât need to worry about that.â Yang Ruxin waved her hand.
âWait.â Yang Baixiang stretched out his hand and pulled out ten copper coins from his chest.
âTake these.â
âNo need.â 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.
âButâŠâ
âUncle 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,â Yang Ruxin said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Yang Baixiang eagerly nodded.
âUncle Xiaowu, you donât think Iâm being sneaky, do you?â Yang Ruxin asked with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
âAfter all, we havenât separated from the family, and I kept it to myself without even telling the family.â
âHow could that be?â Yang Baixiang gave a wry smile.
âYour grandmother, sheâŠâ He started to say something but then quickly changed the subject.
âYour sister-in-law is straightforward.
Itâs good that you have become wiserâŠâ Otherwise, they might have gone hungry today and tomorrow.
Yang Ruxinâs face lit up with relief, glad to see he wasnât foolish, and then she turned and went out.
Naturally, she had no intention of really going out to buy something; 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.
âAre you hungry?â Gu Yao held a large oil-paper package in his hand.
âItâs still warm.
Letâs go inside and eatâŠâ
âYouâŠâ Yang Ruxin frowned.
âBig brother heard about the troubles in your family and sent me to help,â Gu Yao said, smiling, then reached into his pocket and took out a purse to hand over.
âBig brother said to use this for nowâŠâ
Instantly, Yang Ruxinâs nose tingled, but she quickly raised her hand and rubbed it to hold back the emotional surge inside, âThank Gu Big Brother for me.
Iâm⊠Iâm alright⊠Father left some silverâŠâ
