Qian Er hurried to move stools and pour water after making sure their father had his drink and lay down. He then rushed out, bustling about.
"Don’t fuss anymore," Yang Ruxin waved her hand, pointing to a basket that had appeared at the doorway at some point, "Inside there, I’ve brought you some food. It’s Mid-Autumn Festival, so you all should enjoy the holiday as well."
Chengzi hurried over, picked up the basket and upon opening it, his eyes lit up instantly: "Roast chicken and wine, thank you, Sister Xin."
Yang Ruxin nodded, "Now I’m going to ask you, have you really decided to follow me?"
"We’ve made up our minds, from now on, Sister Xin, you are our boss, and we entrust our lives to you..." Chengzi quickly stood up straight as the first to express his stance, still holding the basket in his hand.
"Right, Chengzi is correct," Liang Zi also quickly stated his position.
"What do I want with your lives?" Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at them, "Since it’s settled, then I’ll give you a task now."
"Sister Xin, just tell us," Qian Er exchanged glances with Chengzi and Liang Zi, then nodded, "We guarantee to complete it."
"There’s a Tian Family’s oil shop in Lianhua Town, you should know it, right?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
"We know," Qian Er nodded, "That old lady Tian is too stingy, always shorting on the oil when we go there."
"That old lady Tian’s eldest son is Tian Geng. I want you to keep an eye on him lately. Whatever he does, whomever he contacts, watch closely and report back to me," Yang Ruxin smiled faintly, "Don’t do anything, just watch, that’s not too hard, is it?"
"Sister Xin, what’s the reason for watching him?" Chengzi couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Ruxin’s gaze narrowed slightly.
Chengzi instantly shrank back his neck.
"Why ask so many questions?" Qian Er raised his hand and slapped Chengzi, "Do whatever Sister Xin tells us to do, that’s enough." He then hurriedly nodded at Yang Ruxin, "Sister Xin, rest assured, we will do a thorough job."
"Good," Yang Ruxin nodded, "I’m staying in Dapu East Village, let me know if there’s anything, remember, no matter what, ensure your own safety first. Oh, and by the way, find out about a man called Zhao Feihu in Lianhua Town, just casually inquire about his background."
"Okay," Qian Er nodded.
After Yang Ruxin finished giving instructions, she turned and walked away.
"Sister Xin, stay for a meal," Liang Zi also glared at Chengzi before quickly following her out.
But Yang Ruxin had already left the building, and only then did they notice there was a mule cart parked outside, with a stern man holding a treasure sword standing beside it, waiting.
Yang Ruxin leaped onto the cart, and Gu Yao cracked the whip, with the mule cart rattling away into the distance.
It wasn’t until they were out of the village that Yang Ruxin burst into laughter, "Little Yaozi, having you pretend to be my subordinate is really something."
Gu Yao rolled his eyes in a rather unrefined manner, "You’re just realizing this? If it wasn’t for big brother’s command, who would bother with you?" In fact, he didn’t understand, they were just three small-time hooligans, weren’t they? If they disobeyed, just beat them up, why the need for such a big fuss? And what’s with treating injuries and everything else.
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Gu Yao, "Now you’re getting cocky?" then she laughed, "Why do you listen to your big brother so much?"
"Of course." Gu Yao’s face immediately turned serious, "In this life, I only listen to big brother."
"You’re really something as a younger brother..." Yang Ruxin laughed, "What about when you get a wife in the future? If your wife and big brother have a conflict, what will you do?"
