215: Chapter 215: The Only Man (Part 5)_1 215: Chapter 215: The Only Man (Part 5)_1 Yang Ruxin was unaware of the brothersâ conversation, as she had already returned to eat breakfast with her siblings.
The only issue she encountered was when she looked at Xun Huiâit simply wasnât right to leave her alone in the house.
However, she had just promised her siblings they would all go to town, and failing to keep a promise to children is not good.
âBig sister, Iâll stay behind,â Erni offered proactively.
âAfter all, there will be other opportunities to go.â
âSecond sister, Iâll stayâŠâ Sanni glanced at Yang Ruxin.
Although she was reluctant, she also spoke up.
âI can stay to look after mom,â Xiaofeng lifted his eyes to Yang Ruxin.
âI can take good care of herâŠâ
âIâll stay tooâŠâ Sini raised her little hand high.
âXiaofeng and I arenât strong enough to carry things, but we can take care of mom together.â
Yang Ruxin immediately smiled with relief.
How considerate were these sisters of hers, making her love them all the more?
She couldnât help but stretch out her hand to pinch each of her siblingsâ cheeks.
âHey, itâs just a trip to town, right?
Our family is lacking so many things.
Not only do we need to go there today and tomorrow, but weâll likely go frequently in the future, so thereâs no need for competition or excessive modestyâŠâ
âYeah,â Erni smiled.
âSo, Iâll stay today and go tomorrowâŠ
Let big sister take you guys to town to have a good look around todayâŠâ
âAgreed,â Sanni was also reassured.
âAlright, grab your baskets, and letâs go,â Yang Ruxin rallied her siblings.
âBut when we get to town later, you canât run off by yourselves.
We need to buy quite a few things today, and if I lose sight of you, we could run into trouble with kidnappersâŠâ
The children nodded vigorously.
Yet, as soon as they stepped out of the door, they saw Li Xiang running over in a hurry.
âDani, SanniâŠâ
âXiaoxiang, whatâs the matter?
You seem so rushedâŠâ Yang Ruxinâs heart sank at the sight of Li Xiang, sensing something wasnât right.
âYour grandma found out about the silver from the Black BearâŠâ Li Xiang panted heavily.
âMy mom just heard the commotion from next door before dawn.
NowâŠâ Swallowing her saliva, she continued, âYour grandma is bringing people this way, you guys better hideâŠâ
âWhat should we do?â Erniâs face turned pale upon hearing this.
Yang Ruxinâs expression darkened.
It looked like they wouldnât make it to town today.
She glanced at Li Xiang, âThank you.
You should go back first, donât let my grandma see you, or your family will get scolded tooâŠâ
âBut what about youâŠâ Li Xiang wore a look of concern.
âDonât worry, weâve already divided the inheritance.
If they want to encroach upon us, theyâll have to see if I agree,â Yang Ruxinâs lips curled into a cold smile.
Li Xiang wanted to say more, but seeing the expression on Yang Ruxinâs face, she was at a loss for words.
Instead, she went over to take Siniâs and Xiaofengâs hands.
âThen Iâll take them over to my place for a while.â
âI wonât leave,â Sini shook her head, pulling her hand back.
âI wonât leave either,â Xiaofeng also shook his head, his little face tense.
âIâm the only man in the house, I canât leaveâŠâ
Seeing Xiaofengâs demeanor, Yang Ruxin would have laughed if the mood had been different.
The four-year-old insisting he was the man of the house was endearing, yet it also made her feel bittersweet.
He was a child who had been through too much already.
She then smiled at Li Xiang.
âLet them stay.
We wonât have any problems.â
