Yang Anshi glanced at Feng Caie, "Now that sounds a bit more like a human talking."
Feng Caie hurriedly smiled, but in her heart, she cursed Yang Anshi heartily.
"Let’s go, let’s get the Yang Family’s silver back right now," Yang Anshi said and walked out. "Considering that you’re thinking about our little Baihe, I’ll give you ten taels of silver when the time comes."
"Thank you, Mother," Feng Caie said with a hurried smile.
When Yang Baifu heard that Yang Dani had actually hunted a bear, his mind whirled with calculations. That was definitely not a small amount of money, and he had to get a share of it somehow. But before he could come up with a plan, unexpectedly, his second brother made a move. Perfect, he didn’t need to be the villain now. If they got the silver, he was sure to get a portion; if not, he could distance himself from the situation and might even be able to curry favor with Yang Dani.
Only Yang Baixiang, upon hearing his mother’s intention to demand silver from Dani, wanted to stop her, but he was pushed to the ground by both Yang Baichuan and Yang Baifu.
"You’re always siding with those lowlives, has any one of them given you a bit of their silver?" Yang Anshi spat at her youngest son, "An ungrateful wretch... how did I raise such a failure?" After that, she turned and walked away.
After getting up, Yang Baixiang was extremely anxious but had no idea what to do.
"Fifth Brother, you really are something," Yang Baihe, who had not indulged in sleeping in because of the silver on her mind, got up and came over, scoffing coldly, "Why do you care so much about those lowlives? Could it be that you want to marry your sister-in-law?"
"Little sister, you..."
"Be careful, or that lowlife might be the death of you too!" Yang Baihe rolled her eyes before her brother could retort, then hurried off after Yang Anshi. If her mother really got the silver, the first share should rightfully be hers.
Yang Baixiang felt an indescribable taste in his heart, not even knowing what to do anymore. Everyone was saying he was coveting his sister-in-law; what about the future... But after pacing in place for a moment, he could only stomp his foot and follow them. No matter what, he didn’t want Dani and her family to get hurt.
The Gu Family.
The Feng Family brought Xiaosi and Xiaofeng inside and even got peanuts for the kids to eat.
"Don’t worry, your eldest sister is very capable," Gu Qingheng said, smiling at the two little ones. "She’ll be fine."
Xiaofeng, however, looked at Gu Yao, pondering for a moment before speaking up: "Brother Gu Yao, I want to train in martial arts with you."
"Why?" Gu Yao was somewhat surprised.
"I’m a boy," Rufeng pursed his lips, "I will have to head the family in the future. I want to protect my sisters, but..." he trailed off, lowering his head, "but I’m too weak..." Then he suddenly lifted his head, his large, grape-like eyes shining, "If I could be as formidable as Brother Gu Yao, then I could protect my sisters..."
Gu Yao instinctively looked towards Gu Qingheng.
Gu Qingheng extended his hand towards Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng obediently walked over and placed his small hand in Gu Qingheng’s large one.
"Martial arts training is very tiring and strenuous," Gu Qingheng pulled Little Rufeng into his arms, stroking his head. "And once you start, you can’t stop; can you keep up with that?"
Little Rufeng nodded, "I can."
"Good," Gu Qingheng nodded, "starting tomorrow, come early in the morning, soon after mao hour, and practice for two hours every day. No being late, alright?"
"Yes," Little Rufeng nodded eagerly, then left Gu Qingheng’s side and went up to Gu Yao, kneeling down promptly, "Disciple greets Master."
