Chapter 2095: Chapter 2095: With You Behind Me (Part 3)
âIn that case, letâs wait for your father to come back and discuss it,â Aunt Hehua didnât stop them, but she wasnât willing to agree so quickly either. After all, if the other party was sincere, they wouldnât be unable to wait a few days.
Li Zhong is currently leading a construction team over in the prefectural city, building a house for a wealthy family, just like the two-story Western-style house of the Yang Family. Theyâve been working for two months already, and heâs expected to return in about seven or eight days.
Li Xiang nodded. Although she felt a bit anxious, she couldnât show it. She simply thought about discussing this matter with Ruxin tomorrow.
Yang Ruxin fully supported Aunt Hehuaâs approach. A slight delay would add a sense of urgency for the other party, letting them know that the girl isnât dependent on only him.
Li Xiang wasnât troubled. If they couldnât wait a few days, then there was no need for her to marry into that family.
However, Xie Tai cleverly sent a trusted confidant to give a message to Li Xiang: He would wait as long as necessary.
Li Xiangâs mood lifted, and she carried out all her tasks with a smile from then on.
Yang Ruxin also had good news. Qian Er finally received approval from Chun Gui to set the marriage, and he asked Yang Ruxin to choose an auspicious date for the wedding. Yang Ruxin selected a date in early spring next year.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 22nd.
It was Little Zhou Yingâs fifth birthday.
Zhou Jiang had been stationed at the western frontier. Although there were no immediate battles, they couldnât afford to relax, as the north had just finished a conflict with Yuan Country, and now the south was at war. The border soldiers couldnât let their guard down for a moment.
But he never forgot his childrenâs birthdays, always sending gifts each time.
This year was no exception.
And Zhou Xiao and Zhou Ying, the brother and sister, had long become accustomed to this. They considered the Yang Family their own family anyway.
Yang Ruxin personally baked a cake and prepared a big table of dishes, seizing the occasion for a lively family gathering.
On August 25th, Li Zhong returned with his construction team, and everyone was in high spirits. The work had pleased the client greatly, not only earning them their wages but also generous rewards.
âXinxin, we know that those people were lenient with us because we had you behind us,â Li Zhongâs first task upon returning was to settle accounts with Yang Ruxin. âSo, about these rewardsâŠâ
âThe rewards are all yours,â Yang Ruxin pushed the silver back with a smile. âWe had a contract from the start, and weâll adhere to it. As for having a backer, itâs your skills that made the difference. No oneâs a fool, right? So for now, you better hurry home. I bet Aunt Hehua is anxiously waiting.â
âThis girlâŠâ Li Zhongâs face suddenly turned red.
âUncle Zhong, why are you blushing?â Yang Ruxin teased knowingly.
âItâs nothing.â Li Zhong hurried out with the silver. This time, each person could get two taels of silver from the rewards.
Yang Ruxin laughed mischievously from behind.
As for the potential marriage between the Xie Family and the Li Family, that wasnât something Yang Ruxin could control. So next, they had to start packing and preparing to head off to the Wulin tournament.
Initially, the idea of attending the Wulin tournament was out of curiosity, but now it was different. Tang Wanqian wanted to reclaim the Tang Sect. The most legitimate way was to appear at the Wulin tournament and defeat Tang Kun.
