758: Chapter 758: It Snowed (1)_1 758: Chapter 758: It Snowed (1)_1 Although Pei Xiaoxia spoke lightly, the kitchen was not crowded, so everyone heard her.
Li Xiang didnât think too much about it, and instead nodded happily, âYes, we all get along very well, like real sisters,â her tone carried a touch of pride.â
Pei Xiaoxia laughed briefly but didnât say anything more.
However, Yang Ruxin noticed a slight hint of sadness in her, and couldnât help but frown, but as they were not very familiar, she chose not to say much.
Yang Zhenliâs house was adjacent to the Yang Familyâs ancestral home, so naturally, they were invited, but Yang Peili and Yang Anshi didnât come, claiming they were not feeling well.
âWhatâs not to feel well about?
Probably just ashamed,â Wang Hehua curled her lips.
âDonât say that, it seems like Old Madam Yang really wasnât feeling well,â Liu Cuiyun shook her head, âShe fainted last time, and although she was fine when she woke up, her speech isnât as sharp as beforeâŠâ
âSeems like it,â Wang Hehua nodded in agreement, though she again curled her lips, âItâs probably retribution for all the bad things she has doneâŠâ
But Feng Caie did bring Yang Ruyu and Yang Ruohuai, bringing a piece of fine cotton cloth and ten eggsâa gift that was neither extravagant nor stingy.
The group had lost their usual arrogance and flamboyance, sitting there quietly eating, and even Yang Ruohuai was behaving.
Standing at the kitchen doorway, Yang Ruxin glanced over and caught Yang Ruyu looking her way.
Yang Ruyu probably didnât expect to be seen; she flinched, but didnât look away.
Instead, she forced a small smile before lowering her head to continue eating.
Yang Ruxinâs eyes flashed.
This girl had been behaving lately, but was she truly behaving?
Ruxin wasnât convinced, but for the moment, she really didnât regard the other as a concern.
As the afternoon wore on, the villagers began leaving one after another, and at that time, snowflakes also started to float down from the sky.
Some of the older folks happily said that Xiaoyu was blessedâas it was snowing during her engagement, which was a good omen, implying the blessings of the Snow Goddess.
Regardless of whether this belief was true or not, everyone was delighted for it was considered a good sign.
When most people had left, and only a few remained, they began to clean up after the event.
At that moment, Yang Baixiang arrived to help move chairs and the like.
âWhy are you bustling about here?â Liu Cuiyun felt sorry, âYou didnât even come to the feast, and you gave a red packetâŠâ
Actually, Little Liuzi had invited Yang Baixiang, but he said that since he had not separated his household and his sister-in-law had already come, he preferred not to join the gathering.
However, he did give Little Liuzi a red packet with ten copper coins.
Now, coming to help, Liu Cuiyun and her husband naturally felt gratified.
âWhatâs the big deal?
Many hands make light work,â Yang Baixiang said with a simple smile, âand Iâm not even that tiredâŠâ
Liu Cuiyun decided not to insist any further.
Pei Xiaoxia was also busy until the very end.
âThese dishes are all clean,â Liu Cuiyun handed two large bowls of leftover food to Pei Xiaoxia, âTake them with you, your cousin can heat them up for dinnerâŠ
Iâll have Xiaoliu deliver those two stools laterâŠâ At that moment, Xiaoliu had gone to deliver a table to his great-uncleâs house.
âThere is no need, I will bring these and come back for the stools,â Pei Xiaoxia took the bowls, âItâs not that farâŠâ
âSister-in-law, let me help deliver them,â Yang Baixiang, having just returned from delivering stools to Wang Hehuaâs house, offered upon seeing the remaining two stools, âYou donât need to make the tripâŠâ
