âAdd some salt to the soup,â Yang Anshi waved her hand.
âAlright.â Yang Dongshi hurriedly took the bowl back out, but soon returned, âAuntie, please have a taste.
This has been stewing all morningâŠâ
Yang Baihe took another sip of the soup and was obviously satisfied.
She then glanced at Yang Dongshi and nodded slightly.
She then handed over a few pieces of candy, âThese are for your two nieces.â
âOh my, thank you, Auntie,â Yang Dongshi quickly received them with both hands, âYou even thought of the little ones, how thoughtfulâŠâ
âThatâs enough, just remember your auntieâs kindness,â Yang Anshi gave Yang Dongshi a look, âHurry up and go wash the clothes, donât be an eyesore here.â
Yang Dongshi quickly acknowledged and then turned to leave.
âMother, whatâs going on with the Big House?
I heard the kids crying in there just nowâŠâ
âDonât get me started, such ill-fated stars,â Yang Anshi rolled her eyes and briefly explained, âOur familyâs luck has been squandered away by those wretchesâŠâ
Yang Baihe curled her lips, âThen sell them off, itâs because of her that my big brother died.
If we keep them around, I bet our family will run into more troubleâŠâ She then glanced at the old man Yang, who was always slipping up, âFather, you mustnât go soft, otherwiseâŠ
I might even lose my future wealth to themâŠâ
âI know,â the old man Yang waved his hand, âWeâll go to the clinic tomorrow to see if she wakes up.
If she does, weâll sell her.
If not, weâll have to see.
After all, who would want someone in a coma?â
âThatâs true,â Yang Baihe nodded, then opened a packet of pastries and began eating them with the chicken soup.
With Yang Baiheâs return, dinner at the Yang Family became lavish that evening.
Yang Anshi even went to the butcher in Xiaobudong Village and set aside a catty of fresh meat for a pure meat dish.
During the joyous dinner, not a single person thought of Yang Baixiang, who was still in town, so when he returned that evening, the meal had long been finished, not even leftovers remained.
The old man Yang didnât bother to ask whether his son had eaten dinner; instead, he immediately called him over to inquire in detail about Xu Huiâs condition.
Upon learning she had not awakened, he couldnât help but sigh, and didnât wait for Yang Baixiang to ask anything before waving him off to go back to his room.
Yang Baixiang scratched his head, knowing his parents didnât care for his sister-in-law and her kids, and didnât say much either.
He turned towards the kitchen, and upon finding not even a scrap of leftovers, he couldnât help feeling somewhat dejected and frustrated.
He remembered that Ruxin had given him two steamed buns when he was leaving, which he didnât take, saying his parents would surely have saved him some food.
But nowâŠ
he suddenly found all the excuses he made for his parents utterly feeble.
Early the next morning, Yang Baixiang saw the old man Yang waiting for him in the yard and couldnât help but smile, âFather, Iâm going to pick up sister-in-law and DaniâŠâ
âIâll come with you,â the old man Yang said, and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
He had to settle the bill; two silver taels should be more than enough for just two days.
Yang Baixiang glanced at the second houseâs door.
He had wanted to ask his second brother to join them, but now it seemedâŠ
he quickly followed the old man Yang out the gate.
âUncle Xiaowu,â just then, Erni ran out, âLet me come with you too.â She had been very worried these past two days.
