837: Chapter 837: The Egg is Broken (1) 837: Chapter 837: The Egg is Broken (1) âTroubleâs erupted againâŠâ Li Jiaya spoke without reservation, so engrossed that she didnât even notice Gu Qingheng.
She practically raced over, her face brimming with excitement as she looked at Yang Ruxin and Sanni, delighting in the misfortune that almost spilled from her eyes.
Yang Ruxin watched the pair, their enthusiasm so palpable she felt like laughing.
âWhat happened?â Sanniâs eyes sparkled with curiosity.
âLet me tell you, itâs about Ma Doggy,â said Li Jiaya, her face full of intrigue.
âMa Doggy?â Yang Ruxin frowned, momentarily unable to recall who that was.
âAh, you know, Tian Jinhuaâs son,â Sanni interjected with an explanation.
âWhat happened to him?â Sanni was getting impatient.
âJust yesterday, Ma Doggy went to the neighboring village to steal chickens, but he got caught.
While running away, he fell into a ditch.
There were some sawed-off tree branches in that ditchâŠâ Li Jiaya paused there, then made a strange face, âand then he got injuredâŠâ
Seeing Li Jiayaâs expression, Yang Ruxin couldnât help but laugh, âIt wasnât in an unfortunate place, was it?
His eggs got shattered?â
Gu Qingheng furrowed his brow, thinking how careless this girlâs speech was.
Too direct.
He would have to teach her to be more mindful with her words in the futureâshe shouldnât speak so crudely, saying âeggsâ.
Maybe say something like a âroot injuryââŠ
Okay, maybe that wasnât much better.
Heâd have to think of something elseâŠ
âSister Xinxin, are you that perceptive?
You guessed right?â Li Jiaya eagerly leaned in, âIndeed, it was that part of a man that got hurtâŠ
My dad was called over in the middle of the night.
Turns out, the eggs were indeed shatteredâŠ
My dad couldnât treat it, so they went to town together, and even Doctor Wang said he couldnât do anything.
They just got backâŠâ
The corners of Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched, âAnd you two ran over first thing in the morning to tell me this?â Was she really that much of a gossip?
Okay, in fairness, she was sometimes quite the gossip.
âWe wanted to invite you to join the spectacle,â said Guan Qingyue with a mischievous grin, âNo sooner had they returned, than Tian Jinhua went over to the Wang FamilyâŠâ She let out a cold laugh, âShe used to look down on Wang Baozhu, but now sheâs off to propose a match so eagerlyâŠâ Isnât she a bit too hasty?
Yang Ruxinâs brow furrowed again, but then she had an epiphany, âWang Baozhu?â If Ma Doggyâs eggs were indeed shattered, then the Ma Family would be without an heir, but Wang Baozhu had Ma Doggyâs seed in her belly, and by now, it must be about four or five months along?
But thenâŠ
she glanced at Guan Qingyue, âYouâŠâ
âNone of the Wangs are good people; the more trouble they have, the happier I get,â Guan Qingyue bit her lip lightly, âI know itâs wrong to think like this, butâŠâ
âNothingâs wrong with that.â Yang Ruxin smiled, âRevenge for wrongs, gratitude for kindnesses, thereâs nothing bad about thatâŠâ Which girl wouldnât feel aggrieved after being insulted like that?
If it were her, she probably would have slaughtered Wang Wu by now.
Guan Qingyue smiled.
The more time she spent with Yang Ruxin, the more she liked her straightforward nature; she was not at all pretentious, very comfortable to be around.
Moreover, her way of thinking was unlike othersâan unfettered ease that Guan Qingyue had always longed for.
âAre you going?â Li Jiaya couldnât wait any longer.
âOf course!â Sanni nodded eagerly.
âYou go ahead,â Yang Ruxin shook her head, âCome back and tell me about it later, and Iâll make something delicious to treat you at noon.â
âSounds good.â The group, hearing this, hurriedly joined hands and ran towards the village, as if afraid the excitement might end if they were too slow.
