284: Chapter 284: Come Home with Me_1 284: Chapter 284: Come Home with Me_1 âThe Doctor said this morning that itâs looking good,â Dabao said with a happy smile.
âJust take the medicine for two more days and itâll be all rightâŠâ
âMm,â Yang Ruxin nodded, âNow, I want to ask you whether you want to keep taking your medicine here, or would you like to go home with sister?
âHome?â The little boy was startled.
âYes,â Yang Ruxin patted the little fellowâs head.
âSince I saved you, naturally I canât leave you to fend for yourselves.
What if you got sold by human traffickers again?
So, if youâre willing, you can come home with me.
Our home isnât rich, but at least youâll have a place to sleep, and you wonât go hungryâŠ
Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I also have three younger sisters and a brother at home.
They know youâre in the clinic, and theyâre waiting for you at homeâŠâ
âReally?â The little fellowâs eyes sparkled.
Throughout the past six months, he and his sister had encountered nothing but cold stares.
Suddenly hearing the word âhomeâ felt somewhat foreign to him.
âI talked to Doctor Wang just now.
You can take your medicine here or take it at home; itâs the same either way.
You just need to come back for a follow-up in three daysâŠâ Yang Ruxin nodded.
âThen okay, Iâll go call my sisterâŠâ
âNo need to call her, let her sleep.
Iâll call for a cart, and later weâll just carry your sister onto the cart,â Yang Ruxin waved her hand, then turned to walk outside.
But just as she stepped out of the clinic, she saw Gu Yao leaning against a mule cart waiting.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of amusement, âLittle Yaozi, donât tell me youâre waiting for meâŠâ
âBig brother sent me,â Gu Yao shot Yang Ruxin a glance.
âYou werenât planning to carry that little guy all the way back, were you?â
âYouâre like a timely rain shower,â Yang Ruxin exclaimed excitedly as she slapped Gu Yao on the shoulder, then suddenly remembered something, âDid Qi Yong leave?â
âStop hitting me,â Gu Yao quickly stepped back in disgust and nodded, âYoung Master Qi left after me.
I donât know if your cousin caught a glimpse of himâŠâ He couldnât help but snicker when he thought of Yang Baiheâs lovesick look and Qi Jingyiâs embarassed appearance.
âHe should have reached the Shen Family by now, especially since tomorrow is the Shen Familyâs matriarchâs formal birthday celebration.â
Yang Ruxin nodded, not minding Gu Yaoâs disdain.
âDidnât you ask how those people were dealt with?â
Gu Yaoâs expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yang Ruxin apologetically, âThose people definitely wonât end up well butâŠâ
âBut the masterminds behind them have connections?â Yang Ruxin frowned.
Gu Yao nodded, âThese are just small fry.
Even the âyoung masterâ they mentioned is probably just a puppet, soâŠâ
âI understand,â Yang Ruxin waved her hand dismissively.
If Qi Yongâs involvement couldnât wrap it up neatly, then it likely involved court intrigue.
In that case, she preferred not to ask.
The more she knew, the quicker she might die.
She just wanted to be a simple country girl and not get entangled in too much.
âI wonât inquire about this matter.â
Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief because if she had asked any further, it would have been difficult for him to say more; this was also what his big brother had instructed, not wanting her to be in danger.
Yang Ruxin turned around, went back inside, and came out carrying the sleeping little girl, placing her on the cart.
Uncle Kuang had also thoughtfully laid an old cotton quilt on the cart, covered with a mat, so the children wouldnât be uncomfortable lying down.
Seeing his sister settled comfortably, Dabao hesitated.
âWhatâs wrong?â Yang Ruxin turned back to look at the indecisive little fellow.
