Yang Ruxin understood Xun Huiâs naivety, how she would let her guard down around anyone, easily becoming dazed and confused by someoneâs coaxing.
She turned to Erni, âDo you also think sheâs pitiable?â Xun Hui could afford to be defenseless, but Erni couldnât.
She would have to stand on her own in the future, and for that, her character needed to be stronger.
Erni shook her head, âI didnât give it away, butâŠâ but what could she do when their mother told them not to squabble?
Besides, she hadnât expected Yang Ruyu to snatch things away by force, âThat comb was just snatched from my hand, IâŠ
I donât have as much strength as herâŠâ The real issue was she didnât have as thick a skin as her.
Yang Ruxin actually believed Erniâs words.
Although Erniâs personality had changed a lot, when it came to thick skin, she was far behind Yang Ruyu.
âAnything else to say?â Yang Ruxin took pleasure in Yang Ruyuâs distress, then crouched down and lowered her voice, âWhat, has that noble person from the city not sent you any more money?â
Yang Ruyuâs eyes widened for an instant, but she quickly regained her composure, âBig cousin, I donât understand what youâre talking aboutâŠâ
âItâs alright, youâll understand in time,â Yang Ruxin smiled slightly, stood up, âThose two packets of pastries are yours.
Theyâre made by the chef of the county magistrate, something you canât get outside.â With that, she signaled Erni to pick up the other items and then they went back home.
âXinxinâŠâ Xun Hui glanced at Yang Ruyu, who was still sitting on the ground, didnât dare to intervene, and hurried back home, a bit anxious.
Yang Ruxin didnât even glance at her, and went straight into the kitchen.
Itâs hard to change oneâs true nature, and she was tired of wasting her breath.
âBig sister, why is Yang Ruyu at our doorstep?â Shortly, Sanni came back with a bunch of little ones; they had missed them after not seeing them for a few days.
So, they roamed around the nearby villages, and as she entered, she exclaimed, âShe looked like she saw a ghost when she saw meâŠâ
âYou do look like a ghost right now,â Yang Ruxin looked out and said, âNo, actually you look like a bunch of them.
Look at yourselves, if it wasnât for knowing you, who could recognize you all?
Did you burrow into mouse holes or what?â
Upon hearing that, Sanni giggled with a âHeihei,â then directed Zhou Xiao to scoop water for the little ones while she herself sidled up to Yang Ruxin, her demeanor enigmatic, âBig sister, we found a treasure in the river behind Xiaobudong VillageâŠâ She said carefully pulling a handkerchief from her bosom and unfolding it, âPretty, right?â
Yang Ruxin frowned as she looked at the transparent, sparkling stones inside, which somewhat resembled crystals, âAre there many there?â
âLittle Shuanzi had said before that he found one,â Sanni shook her head, âWe scouted the whole afternoon and only found threeâŠ
Big sister, do you recognize them?â
âIâm not sure, but I can go and ask at the jewelry stores in the county town tomorrow,â Yang Ruxin said with a smile, but inside she was filled with endless curiosity.
It wasnât unusual to find crystal gems or the like, but what was curious was that these three stones had obviously been cut and processed, clearly they had been set into something.
It made her recall the legend about Xiaocang Mountain, could there really be a treasure hidden there?
