Meanwhile, in a place Yang Ruxin couldn’t see, there was the slight movement of Xun Hui’s fingers beneath the blanket.
As for the little green snake, it had been lying on Yang Ruxin’s wrist, asleep, when suddenly it found itself thrown into a strange place, a place without doors or windows.
Even stranger was that this place bore the scent of Dabai and Xiaobai.
"Surely, the mother and child don’t live here?" Xiaolun was immediately scared. It had sneaked here to find this woman, and Xiaobai had warned it not to bother her. So, if they found out it hadn’t listened, then...
Woohoo, it wanted to leave, it wanted freedom, it didn’t want to be bitten to death by Xiaobai...
Unfortunately, after a few rounds of pacing back and forth without finding an exit, it became frantic, but no matter how frantic, there was nothing it could do. In the end, it could only sulk in a corner, hoping the woman would take pity and set it free...
Waiting and waiting, not knowing how much time had passed, just when Xiaolun thought it might fall asleep again, it suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar scent. It quickly raised its head, then darted over, just about moved to tears.
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh when the little green snake wound itself around her wrist again, "I was worried my younger brothers and sisters would get scared if they suddenly saw a snake."
The little green snake flicked its tongue in haste. So this place belonged to the woman, no wonder it had vanished before. But it didn’t really like it here; the silence was enough to make it cry. It eagerly asserted again and again that it would never hurt her family, it could even protect them.
"I know you wouldn’t hurt my family, but we can’t rush this. I will introduce you to them gradually." Yang Ruxin stroked Xiaolun’s head, took out two eggs, and placed them on a plate, "Go back to the mountain for now, and I’ll come to find you once everything is settled."
Xiaolun flicked its tongue and darted over, quickly swallowing the eggs and then spat the shells back onto the plate.
"Good girl." Yang Ruxin said with a smile, taking Xiaolun out of the space.
Xiaolun flicked its tongue and then vanished out of the room.
At the Yang Family old house.
" Granny," Yang Ruban dashed into the house from the street, "do you know what I just saw?"
"What?" Yang Baihe, who was drinking sweet soup, was the first to raise her eyes, "What did you see?"
"Yang Dani was returning from town with Gu Yao, and they bought a cartload of stuff." Yang Ruban sniffled, "Boss’ two big jars were stuffed full..." He smacked his lips, having seen several bags of pastries inside.
"She’s an ungrateful wretch..." Yang Anshi gnashed her teeth and cursed a few times. Although she had received five taels of silver, the more she thought about it, the less content she felt. But with the agreement in place, she couldn’t make a fuss anymore.
"Mom, the family has split, and they’ve given the money for elder care, so it’s no use talking about this now." Yang Baihe gave Yang Anshi a look, "Even if you curse the sky into a hole, they won’t give you a penny..."
Yang Anshi fell silent, her face very unsightly.
"Here, drink this, then go out." Yang Baihe wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Ruban still standing there, she handed over the half-drunk sweet soup.
Yang Ruban immediately grinned from ear to ear, took the soup, and gulped it down. After wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he exclaimed, "Really sweet." Then he ran outside.
