743: Chapter 743: Guan Qingyue in Trouble (4)_1 743: Chapter 743: Guan Qingyue in Trouble (4)_1 Zhao Xinghua immediately revealed a gossipy expression, âXinxin, do you know something about this?â
Yang Ruxin nodded her head, thinking that Zhao Xinghua wasnât the type to gossip around, at most she would just chat with Wang Hehua or Liu Cuiyun and a few others, so she didnât hide anything and recounted how she had bumped into Wang Wu trying to assault Guan Qingyue.
But it had only been a few days, and the Wang Family was using this matter as leverage to blackmail the Guan Family.
âWhat a sin!â Zhao Xinghua instantly wore a look of horror, âThe Wang Family is just a bunch of dog shit; people like them shouldnât be allowed to stay in the villageâŠâ Any girl who encounters such things would feel utterly defenseless, and at this moment, she truly empathized with Xinxinâs predicament.
If she wasnât strong-willed, who knew when she would be devoured alive?
She also felt fortunate that her own daughter wasnât weak and had learned quite a lot from Xinxin; being able to defend oneself isnât necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, Yang Ruxin had no idea that Zhao Xinghua had so many thoughts because of this matter.
She was just somewhat worried about Guan Qingyue; although the child wasnât likable, she wasnât vicious either, and Yang Ruxin didnât want her to have a tragic ending.
After leaving Aunt Xinghuaâs house, Yang Ruxin was a bit hesitant; she actually wanted to go see Guan Qingyue, but after thinking about it, she turned around and walked towards the outskirts of the village.
She wasnât quite suitable to appear.
After returning home, she pushed these matters aside.
She still had a lot of work to do; the Pancake Fruit Shop in town was about to open, and starting from tomorrow, she needed to train Erni properly.
Actually, Erni was better at sewing, while her cooking skills were somewhat lacking, but to toughen her up, Yang Ruxin still arranged for her to work at the shop.
Bending over embroidery all day could ruin her eyes and neck.
Moreover, Gu Yao would be there too, which was perfect to let the two of them spend more time together; perhaps they might spark a romance.
This time she went to the city, she also bought a sickle, so after everyone went to sleep at night, she entered her space.
She had to cut the wheat, thresh it, and turn it into flour to store away.
Although Yang Ruxin had not harvested wheat before, Yang Dani had, with memories and strength, she got the hang of it after a while.
But, harvesting wheat was indeed a grueling task; after toiling for half the day, she had cut less than one-third of it, and her hands were blistered.
Alas, every grain on the plate is hard-earned!
Since the space had a preservation function, piling it up there was fine; she decided to cut some every day from then on and then find a way to move it to the yard to thresh and grind into flour for storage.
If she had known it was so troublesome, she should have planted rice instead; once threshed, it could be eaten!
Sigh, she felt a bit of regret.
After taking a bath in the space, she returned to her kang bed, but before she could close her eyes, she heard knocking on the door, accompanied by faint crying and shouting.
She hurriedly sat up with a start, got off the kang, and got dressed.
Xun Hui also woke up, âXinxin, whatâs going on?â
âI donât know.
Iâll go have a look.â Yang Ruxin put on her cotton coat, opened the door, and saw that Zhou Xiao had also come out.
Standing outside the courtyard gate was Guan Qingshu, his face fraught with panic and tear stains, âXinxin, please go save my sister, sheâŠâ
Yang Ruxinâs heart skipped a beat.
She didnât ask any questions; she only looked back to instruct Xun Hui and the others who had followed out to lock the courtyard gate and go to sleep.
She would go and see for herself.
