"Alright, you, people can hardly keep from hating you, yet here you are, being a nuisance," Wang Hehua slapped Yang Ruxin lightly.
Yang Ruxin stuck out her tongue.
Meanwhile, everyone around began to gossip, with the most talked-about topic naturally being whether Yang Baichuan’s eggs were truly smashed.
"Xinxin, do you think Old Yang’s second brother’s eggs are really... Ouch, Mom, gently, it hurts..." Li Xiang looked at Yang Ruxin with burning curiosity, but before she could finish asking, Aunt Hehua pinched her ear, prompting her to hastily beg for mercy!
"So you know pain, huh? What’s this talk about eggs from a young lady? Don’t you feel ashamed?" Wang Hehua let go, but she couldn’t help but flick her daughter’s forehead.
"Mom, you’re so unreasonable," Li Xiang massaged her ear, discontented. "Why can’t we talk about eggs? So, if our chickens lay eggs in the future, should I say our chickens have gone down to the pen?"
Pfft! Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "Sister Xiaoxiang, are you trying to be funny?"
Wang Hehua couldn’t hold back either: "You little rascal... Every time I scold you, you have ten retorts waiting..."
Li Xiang stuck out her tongue: "I’m just curious, if they’re really broken, is he still human?"
"How is he not human?" Yang Ruxin glanced at Li Xiang. "He just wouldn’t be a man anymore, that’s all."
Li Xiang’s eyes went wide.
"A eunuch," Yang Ruxin squinted her eyes narrowly, "all the eunuchs in the palace had their Dandans cut off..."
"My goodness." Li Xiang’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and then she suddenly twirled her fingers, raising her voice to a high, delicate pitch, "You’re so mean..."
"You little brat..." Unable to hold back her laughter, Wang Hehua still poked her daughter’s head.
"Ha ha..." Yang Ruxin gave a thumbs-up. "That was quite convincing."
"That’s how they act in the plays..."
"You two..." Wang Hehua couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry, then suddenly she remembered something, "By the way, Xinxin, where is your second aunt?"
Yang Ruxin’s expression turned strange.
"What’s wrong?" Wang Hehua frowned.
"How could that second aunt be willing to remain a widow? So, she’s proclaiming she wants to divorce..."
"This..." After Wang Hehua was taken aback, she sighed, "Well, knowing Feng Caie’s temperament, it’s normal..."
"I guess there’ll be more excitement to watch in the future." Li Xiang smacked her lips excitedly.
"Speaking of which, it seems Yang Dongshi actually has some compassion..."
However, Yang Ruxin just sneered and didn’t take up Aunt Hehua’s point but waved her hand instead: "Auntie, it’s getting late. I must be going. Remember to do as I said, and you’ll surely be blessed with a new addition next year."
Wang Hehua nodded vigorously.
But before Yang Ruxin could turn away, the gate of the old Yang Family estate flew open, and out dashed a person who knelt before Yang Ruxin with a thud: "Xinxin, I’m begging you, help me..."
"Auntie Four, what are you doing?" A coldness filled Yang Ruxin’s eyes as she sidestepped the other person’s worship, "I’m just a child without a father, how could I possibly have the ability to help you?"
"Daya," in her urgency, Yang Dongshi started to call out her previous name, "Auntie Four truly has nowhere else to turn. With your fourth uncle being the way he is, and your grandparents getting older, I’m just a little overwhelmed on my own. So, Auntie Four is begging you to take care of Daya and Erya for the time being... I really have no money, please do a good deed and help look after them for a while, I will definitely repay you by working like an ox or a horse in the future..."
