If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have let you go hungry.”

“Really?” Yang Ruxin’s eyes widened instantly, “Auntie is willing to help us?

That’s great, then I won’t have to go into the mountains anymore…”

“We are family,” Yang Baihui smiled, “Of course, we should help each other.” But inside, she felt a twinge of regret.

Why did it feel like she had just dug herself a hole?

“Second Uncle Gu gave me some silver because he felt sorry for me, but it’s definitely not enough to treat my mother.

At most it’ll last for a month or two since we still need regular acupuncture on top of the herbal medicine.” Yang Ruxin looked at Yang Baihui with hopeful eyes, “Auntie, can you lend us some more silver…”

“No.” Yang Baihui blurted out, but quickly realized it was the wrong thing to say and hurriedly laughed, “You silly girl, don’t you still have some?

When it’s gone, we’ll think of something else…

Auntie would even sell the iron pot if she has to help you…

But, you wouldn’t want your Auntie to have to sell the iron pot, right?

After all, your cousin Haibo is about to start discussing marriage, and his house isn’t even built yet, he’s worried too…”

Yang Ruxin smiled faintly; a person’s initial reaction is the most genuine.

No matter how much you explain afterward, it only makes things awkward.

She soon lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Relatives like these were better off not having at all.

But Yang Baihui quickly turned to Sanni: “Sanni, let Auntie carry your bundle and basket for you, you’re just a little girl, don’t get hurt…”

“No need.” Sanni quickly dodged to the side.

Her bundle was brand new.

Inside were the hair flowers and bands her eldest sister bought for everyone, paper and pens for Xiaofeng, some embroidery threads that her second sister needed, plus two pieces of patterned cloth, a piece of fine cotton cloth, and some scraps of fabric for her eldest sister.

Moreover, the basket contained pastries, candied fruit, and sugar.

If she let the other person take it, she might never get it back, “The bundle and basket are very light, I can carry them myself.”

“You child…” A flash of annoyance appeared in Yang Baihui’s eyes, then she turned to Yang Ruxin, “Dani, let me help you.”

Yang Ruxin had a large covered basket on her back, filled with some fine rice, white flour, a sliced piece of pork, two pig’s trotters, various pork offal, and some seasonings.

“Auntie, are you sure you want to help me with it?” A sly look flickered in Yang Ruxin’s eyes.

“I’m the elder, isn’t it normal for me to help you carry a basket?” Yang Baihui smiled, “Come on, we need to hurry back or we’ll miss lunch.”

“Then thank you, Auntie.” While Yang Ruxin was taking off the basket, she slipped her hand under the cover for a moment, then placed the basket on the ground, pretending to shake her arm, “It’s so heavy, good thing Auntie is here…”

Sanni frowned and made faces at Yang Ruxin, only to realize that she was being ignored.

This infuriated her, and she couldn’t help but give Yang Ruxin a disdainful look before stepping forward to intervene.

Yang Ruxin quickly and discreetly took hold of her sister’s hand, then shook her head slightly to signal her silence.

Although Sanni was puzzled, she ultimately didn’t take any further action.

Yang Baihui eagerly stepped forward, and almost failed to lift the basket, frowning instantly: “What’s in here?” She reached out to lift the cover.
