"It’s retribution," Yang Ruxin said with a faint smile, then went over to look at Xun Hui. "How’s my mother? Has there been any situation this morning?"
"No problems," Yang Baixiang shook his head as he spoke, "Doctor Wang came to see her and said that she’s recovering nicely, just waiting for your sister-in-law to wake up is all."
Yang Ruxin nodded.
"What about that person you were supposed to meet?" Yang Baixiang pondered for a moment before deciding to ask.
"It didn’t work out," Yang Ruxin shook her head.
"Dani, don’t be upset," Yang Baixiang sighed, "If that man wasn’t good, we’ll just find someone else for you later. Uncle Xiaowu may not have much else, but he’s still got some strength; in a few days, he’ll go out to find work, and once he’s earning money, we’ll get you dressed up nicely, and you won’t be any worse off than those city ladies..."
Yang Ruxin smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Xiaowu, but I’m not upset. Think about it, could anyone Feng Caie picks be a good person? If there really were someone exceptionally good, they should have been reserved for Sister Yutang instead."
Yang Baixiang was slightly stunned at first, but then his expression also darkened. "That’s true," he didn’t have much affection for that second sister-in-law either.
Just then, the outside of the medical clinic became noisy. It seemed that a patient had been brought in.
"Doesn’t that sound like second brother’s voice?" Yang Baixiang frowned, "I’ll go out and take a look..."
Yang Ruxin didn’t stop him; instead, she followed along.
Indeed, Yang Baichuan came in carrying Feng Caie, who reeked all over and was still unconscious, emitting a foul stench from her body.
Doctor Wang gave her a few needles, and then she woke up.
"Yang Dani, you little slut, I’m going to kill you..." As soon as Feng Caie regained consciousness, she shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Second Aunt, why do you want to kill me?" Yang Ruxin asked coolly from the doorway.
Feng Caie suddenly looked as if her throat had been gripped, her eyes wide with terror, and she opened her mouth but couldn’t produce a sound for a long time. Abruptly, as if struck by some stimulus, she sprang up, "Let’s go, let’s get out of here, go home..." Then she put on her shoes and ran faster than a rabbit.
Yang Baichuan didn’t understand what was happening, but all he could do was hurriedly follow her.
"My consultation fee..." Doctor Wang called out from behind.
"Doctor Wang, my grandfather will come to settle accounts tomorrow. You can wrap it all up then..." Yang Ruxin’s mouth curled slightly, "You can charge a bit extra, considering your clinic has been dirtied..."
Doctor Wang looked at Yang Ruxin and after a moment, he nodded, "Understood."
"Dani, what exactly happened?" Yang Baixiang was also puzzled.
"How could I know?" Yang Ruxin glanced at Yang Baixiang, "I came out after our meeting, and then my second aunt accidentally fell into a ditch, and I couldn’t pull her out..."
Yang Baixiang frowned.
But Yang Ruxin didn’t plan on telling Uncle Xiaowu the truth; after all, even if he knew, it wouldn’t change anything,
"Could it be that the family Second Aunt found for you wasn’t good?" Yang Baixiang fell silent for a moment before suddenly looking up to ask, "So, that’s why you..."
"Uncle Xiaowu, you’re quite smart," Yang Ruxin was slightly startled, not expecting him to have figured it out, "Are you planning to scold your undutiful niece?"
"Why would you say that?" Yang Baixiang’s expression darkened slightly, "How could I scold you? I just feel sorry for you..."
"Uncle Xiaowu, I didn’t want to tell you originally, but since you’ve guessed it, I won’t hide it from you. Actually, the matchmaking was just a front; the real plan was to sell me to the Flower
