398: Chapter 398: To the Latrine (Fourth Update)_1 398: Chapter 398: To the Latrine (Fourth Update)_1 Yang Ruxin didnât say anything more and just stood there waiting for Yang Peiliâs keys.
At that moment, the door of the house across opened, and Yang Ruyu came out.
She was briefly taken aback upon seeing Yang Ruxin but quickly managed to put on a smile, âEldest cousin, Xiaofeng, youâre here.
Itâs been a long time since you last came backâŠâ
Yang Ruxin tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile.
Just now in the yard and in the house, they had been talking so loudly, even having a fightâshe didnât believe for a second that Yang Ruyu hadnât heard them.
Now pretending to have just noticed them was quite interesting indeed.
Yang Ruyu was extremely frustrated inside.
Sheâd really wanted to avoid encountering Yang Dani, but there was no helping it.
When Yang Dani entered the courtyard, she had wanted to use the outhouse, and to avoid meeting them, she had held it in.
She had thought theyâd leave quickly, but nowâŠ
she really couldnât hold it any longer.
âI need to use the outhouse first.â Yang Ruyu said to Yang Ruxin, who remained silent, and added as if talking to herself, âIâll come and hang out when I get a chance.â Then she hurried off toward the back.
Yang Ruxin still said nothing.
She found it tiring to deal with such a âwhite lotusâ and felt disgusted even talking to her.
Meanwhile, Yang Anshiâs screeches came from inside the house, âI wonât give it to you!
Thatâs my house.
If that vile woman has the guts to move out, she should never come backâŠâ Anyway, they were at home, and Yang Ruxin wasnât likely to come inside with a knife to kill her.
âBig sister,â Xiaofeng tugged at Yang Ruxinâs hand.
Yang Ruxin knew that getting those keys was impossible.
She also knew that the moment they moved out, they would be denied access to this house forever.
She hadnât really wanted it.
However, even if she didnât want it, she needed a proper way to express it.
Now, she had to go inside and see for herself.
She walked right to the door and kicked it with her leg.
A loud thud was heard: the lock didnât break, but the entire door fell down instantly, door frame and all, kicking up dust.
Yang Ruxin frowned slightlyâwas it really that flimsy?
Well, it saved her trouble.
The loud noise startled everyone in the old house, including Dong Family, who had been sulking in her room.
She peeked out briefly before quickly withdrawing again.
âWhat happened?â Yang Peili quickly came running out of the house, with a barefoot Yang Anshi and a slipshod Yang Baihe trailing behind him, though the young lady turned back and went inside again upon seeing Yang Ruxin at the door.
But Yang Anshi ran into the courtyard, glanced at the downed door, then, with some inexplicable thought, turned around and went back inside, and stayed silent after that.
However, a scream came from the backyard: âAhâŠ
MotherâŠâ It was Yang Ruyuâs voice.
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but shudder.
Wasnât that girl in the outhouse?
Suddenly screaming so miserablyâŠ
could it be that she fell in?
That would be too goodâŠ
Unable to hide her concern, Feng Caie rushed toward the backyard, âAyu, what happened?â
âWhatâs going on out there?
I got a frightâstepped right inâŠâ Yang Ruyu looked at her embroidered shoes, tears streaming down profusely.
Fortunately, she had reacted fast and grabbed hold of the wooden door of the outhouse; otherwise, her entire leg would have sunk in.
But now, those shoes were the new ones she had bought when she went to the county town with her younger cousin-in-lawâŠ
