From now on, Mother will listen to you, and you shall take charge of this household.”

“Mhm.” Yang Ruxin smiled, “Then I thank Mother.

Also, I’m no longer called Dani, you can call me Xinxin from now on.” She wanted exactly these words from Xun Hui; she did not hope to see the quagmire she had desperately escaped pull Xun Hui back in.

“Mother knows…” Xun Hui wiped away a tear and nodded, “Just now, Sanni said that all of you have names now, Xinxin, Xuexue, Mengmeng, Mimi, it’s wonderful…”

“Mother, these are Dabao and Xiaobao.” Sanni hurriedly pointed at the Zhou siblings, “Big Sister saved them; they were taken by bad people.

These days, Dabao has been teaching us how to read…

”

“Good children.” Xun Hui eagerly nodded at Zhou Xiao and Zhou Ying, “From now on, this place is your home.”

“Thank you, Auntie Hui.” Zhou Xiao smiled.

“Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of reunion.

You should go rest, I will cook.

Tonight, we will celebrate the festival with Brother Gu and his family, make it lively…”

“Yes, we really should thank our neighbors.

There’s a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors…” Xun Hui nodded.

As they were speaking, someone from the Feng Family walked in holding a basket: “Xinxin, I heard your mother woke up, I came to see…” Then she saw the pale-faced Xun Hui and hurriedly smiled, “Sister Xun, it’s good that you woke up…”

“Sister Feng.” Xun Hui naturally recognized Feng Family, though not close, she had seen them around the village before, so no introduction was needed, “Please come in and sit down…”

Feng Family walked in: “We are not strangers, don’t be so formal.” While speaking, she handed the basket to Yang Ruxin.

Inside were some eggs and a piece of meat, “But Sister Xun, you really have raised a good daughter.

If she hadn’t risked her life these days to protect her siblings and you, who knows what might have happened…” She sighed and shook her head before smiling, “It’s good you woke up, otherwise just the medical expenses would be enough to overwhelm the child, one tael of silver for a dose of medicine…”

“I’m useless…” Xun Hui felt a face full of shame, and tears streamed down again.

“Look what I’ve done, I’ve said too much.” Feng Family quickly waved her hand, “It’s all in the past now.

You woke up, and that child can rest easier now.

But let me advise you, don’t be foolish.

A mother must be strong, some people are just not worth treating well…”

“I won’t.” Xun Hui shook her head, “Although I’m powerless, I’m not stupid or foolish, those people, I can’t provoke them but I can surely avoid them…”

“If you can think this way, that’s good.” Feng Family smiled, “Ah, those folks in your old house…

the things they do are…

laughable.

When you’re better, I’ll tell you slowly.”

“Alright, Mother, go and rest for a bit, I’ll cook.” Yang Ruxin gave Erni and Sanni a look, “After you take a nap, we can talk more.”

“Okay.” Xun Hui nodded at Feng Family, then was supported back into the house by her two daughters.

Feng Family helped Yang Ruxin with the cooking.

Actually, Yang Ruxin wanted to ask about Gu Qingheng’s condition several times, but in the end, she restrained herself, deciding to wait to ask him in person.

Meanwhile, in the room next door.

At that moment, Gu Qingheng lay on the kang bed wearing only a pair of white shorts, his body densely covered in silver and gold needles, while the old man worked on them, rotating one needle then another with an incredibly serious expression.

And Gu Qingheng was sweating profusely, clearly enduring tremendous pain.
