âOf course, there are chicken coops, pigsties, and rabbit hutches,â Yang Ruxin replied with a smile.
âYouâŠâ Fang Tiangangâs face suddenly stiffened.
âTiangang, the countryside has tough living conditions; you shouldnât go suffer there,â Yuan Mengzhu laughed, then hurried Yang Ruxin and the others to get going.
She had long been dissatisfied with the behavior of her uncle sending his son to her home, thinking she was unaware of their schemes, huh?
Was it because they thought her sonâs life was short and they wanted their property?
Well, it would depend on whether she would allow it.
Fang Tiangang couldnât say much after that but was extremely annoyed inside.
âIn a few days, mom will come and take you backâŠâ Yuan Mengzhu looked at her son, who was actually leaving, and felt reluctant to let him go.
âMhm.â Fang Tianze nodded excitedly.
He had been frail since childhood and later contracted this illness, so his activities had generally been confined to his room and yard; he hardly ever visited this garden.
But now, not only could he leave the yard and the county town, he was going to an even farther place.
This filled him with unparalleled excitement, to the point where he felt that even if he died after going out for a walk, he would have no regrets.
Coming out of the Governorâs Office, Yang Ruxin looked at the pale-faced but joyful little boy beside her and felt somewhat puzzled.
It was just about registering a household, wasnât it?
Why had she picked up another tagalong?
This habit of hersâŠ
just who did she take after?
âXinxin.â Han Baichuan had been anxiously waiting outside; finally, he saw Yang Ruxin coming out, âHow did it go?â
âUncle Han.â Yang Ruxin hurriedly greeted him, âItâs done.â
âThen youâŠâ Han Baichuan looked up and down at Yang Ruxin, his face full of confusion.
âThe Governor sympathized with the people and thought I was pitiable, so he let me off,â Yang Ruxin said playfully, and then pointed to Fang Tianze behind her, âBut thereâs a condition; I have to be the king of the kids, and Young Master Fang has to go to the countryside to understand the populaceâs situationâŠâ
The corners of Han Baichuanâs mouth twitched, thinking that this was the son of the County Magistrate, whom many people couldnât curry favor with no matter how hard they tried.
Thereâs a saying, âThe commoners should not contend with officials,â even the wealthy merchants sought to ingratiate themselves with the local magistrates.
But who would have thought that this girl had such an extensive network, to be in such good terms with the Magistrateâs sonâŠ
If it wasnât for absolute trust, how could one dare to entrust their sick son to her care?
Han Baichuan became even more admiring of his own foresight; with the protection of the County Magistrate, if he were to open a branch in the county town in the future, it would probably be much easier.
âItâs getting late, letâs hurry back,â Yang Ruxin, unaware of Han Baichuanâs thoughts â and even if she knew, it wouldnât matter â hastily climbed onto the carriage.
She had been out all day, and she didnât know the situation at home.
Fang Tianze also got into his own carriage.
In fact, he didnât want to ride in his familyâs carriage; he would have been happy to share one with Sister Xin, but his parents didnât agree.
After all, his carriage was more comfortably equipped, and it was no small feat that they allowed him to come out at all, really.
Han Baichuan, being a clever man, didnât say anything further and simply urged his horse to start back.
Leaning against the carriage, Yang Ruxin finally had the time to ponder the odd occurrence that had been nagging her all this time; was seeing that man in front of the Taibai Building a coincidence, or was there more to the story?
Indeed, according to the memories left by Yang Dani, the man she had seen previously bore a strong resemblance to Yang Baiyue, who had already died.
