The group erupted into laughter and play.
But once the commotion settled, Erni let out a sigh, âItâs a shame Mother canât have anyâŠâ
The mood among them instantly turned somber.
âDonât worry,â Yang Ruxin said with a smile, âMother will get better, just not right nowâŠâ
The younger ones didnât quite understand.
âAll you need to know is that Mother is sleeping right now.
Once weâve got everything sorted, sheâll wake upâŠâ Yang Ruxin hadnât planned to keep the younger ones in the dark forever, but she couldnât be too explicit yet.
âBig sister, do you have a way to cure Mother?â Sanni, the quickest to catch on, asked immediately.
âYes,â Yang Ruxin nodded, âbut I canât just yetâŠâ
âWhy not?â Sanni was confused.
âWeâre missing some medicinal ingredients,â Yang Ruxin had to lie, âOnce the house is in order, Iâll go into the mountains.
As soon as I find those two herbs, Mother will be fineâŠâ
The younger ones exchanged looks.
Though they felt it seemed incredible, they deeply trusted their elder sister and their spirits promptly soared again.
They then heated water for everyone to take turns washing their faces and soaking their feet.
And the attentive Erni even boiled an egg and handed it to Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin was taken aback.
âAuntie Feng says that rolling it on your face feels very comfortable and wonât leave bruises,â Erni said as she peeled the hot egg and wrapped it in a cloth to press against Yang Ruxinâs face.
âSuch a waste?â Yang Ruxinâs heart warmed as she took the egg from her hand.
In truth, the effect of the previously applied medicine was already very good; she wasnât in pain at all, but she had to accept her sisterâs care.
âHow is it a waste?â Sanni frowned, âYou are our eldest sister.
You need to be well, otherwise, what would we do?â She paused, âAlso, you must not neglect yourself for the sake of some benefit in the future, understand?â
âLittle housekeeper,â Yang Ruxin said with a laugh as she looked at Sanniâs serious expression and reached out to pinch her cheek.
âPromise me,â Sanni insisted, avoiding Yang Ruxinâs hand with a stern face.
The other young ones also watched her intently, especially Sini, who looked as if she might burst into tears if Yang Ruxin didnât agree.
âAlright,â Yang Ruxin nodded, âI was wrong today; I shouldnât have taken the risk.â She paused, âAnd you all should do the same in the future.
No matter what happens, you must ensure your safety first, hear me?
Anything else thatâs lost can be recoveredâŠâ
The younger ones nodded vigorously.
The night grew darker, and since there were no candles at home, everything was pitch black.
Yang Ruxin lay side by side on the big kang bed with her siblings.
Despite the occasional mosquitoes buzzing around and the heat, everyone was excited because this was their home now.
Sini and Xiaofeng, being younger, soon grew tired after their bout of excitement and quickly fell asleep.
However, Erni and Sanni didnât fall asleep as easily.
Sanni tugged at Yang Ruxinâs hand, âBig sister, are you asleep yet?â
âNot yet.â
âWhy do Grandpa and Grandma play favorites so much?
We all share the Yang surname⊠and Xiaofeng is a boy tooâŠâ
Yang Ruxin squeezed Sanniâs hand in return, âPeopleâs hearts are inherently biased.â
âButâŠâ Sanni ultimately sighed, leaving her subsequent thoughts unspoken.
