Yang Dongshi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dani..." Xun Hui couldn’t hold back anymore and came out as well. After some time had passed, the bruises on her face were even more apparent. On her originally fair complexion, they seemed even more jarring, "forget it..."
"Forget it?" Ruxin glanced at Xun Hui, "You think it’s over just because you say so? I’m always worried that one day I’ll go out, and when I return, I’ll have to collect your corpses..."
Xun Hui opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything, her face hurt so badly.
"So Dani, what do you want to do?" Yang Peili’s face truly couldn’t bear it anymore. Although the door was closed, there must have been a lot of people gathered outside by now because people had climbed trees beyond the courtyard walls to peer inside.
"Let’s divide the family." Ruxin glanced over everyone, "Since the Yang Family despises us so much, let’s split. Let’s do it before you beat us to death, it might save you from being charged with murder..."
"Impossible..." Yang Peili immediately shook his head, "With the elders at home, it’s impossible to separate..."
"That’s right, keep dreaming," Yang Anshi jumped up two feet high, "You think you’re going to have an easy time by yourself? No way..." She suddenly sat down on the ground and pulled out her trump card, starting to cry and curse while slapping her thigh.
The corners of Ruxin’s mouth twitched involuntarily. To be honest, she really admired the old woman’s ability; her curses were never repetitive, a skill not everyone could learn.
"Dani, look how you’ve angered your grandma," Yang Baichuan, who had been silent, leaped over, "You unfilial daughter, today I must discipline you on behalf of my brother..." As he spoke, he raised his hand but couldn’t bring it down. He looked around, spotted a stick by the wall, ran over to grab it, and charged at Ruxin, swinging it straight at her.
Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly. She had been looking for an opportunity to deal with these people, and today they provided her with the chance.
To the outsiders, it seemed as though Ruxin was paralyzed with fear, standing there motionless.
Just as the stick was about to hit Ruxin’s head, a figure suddenly darted in: "Dani."
Then there was a thud, and the woman who had shielded Ruxin in her arms trembled all over before slowly collapsing to the ground.
"Mother..." Erni was stunned for a second, then let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Ruxin was also stunned. She hadn’t expected Xun Hui to come out like that, and even less did she expect her to shield her so selflessly... This foolish woman, didn’t she know that Ruxin wouldn’t have been hit at all?
She was someone who had lived two lifetimes, always making her way in the world alone. She never thought she needed someone to protect her; it was always her protecting her brothers in arms.
Since crossing over to this time, although she saw Xun Hui constantly protecting the children, honestly speaking, Ruxin looked down on Xun Hui. She thought her too timid, too weak to protect the children adequately, not even capable of the slightest resistance. So, she really didn’t care for this woman and had even considered leaving this family to avoid irritation.
But at that moment, despite being timid, when the woman saw her child in danger, she didn’t hesitate to rush forward, as if losing her life meant nothing.
