64 -64: People Will Change _1
Yang Baixiang, although he didn’t leave, sat down directly on the ground.
“Dad, for so many years, the work in the fields was mostly done by my sister-in-law and me.
Shouldn’t Erge and Sige also put in some effort?” He had only known work before, but now that his sister-in-law was down, he started to fear, for in this family, his sister-in-law was the kindest to him.
Dad and Mom’s hearts were now only set on the little sister, followed by Erge and Sige.
As for him, if he couldn’t work, he might have already been despised by Mom.
Moreover, he was also getting older, and he couldn’t help but think selfishly.
Anyway, he was unlikely to marry and have children, so if he was now nice to the kids, maybe Xiaofeng might give him a hand in burying him when he died.
In the past, the members of the big house didn’t resist, so he could only help by working more.
But now, he felt he could no longer allow Erge and Sige to be lazy and shirk their duties.
“This…” Yang Peili suddenly sighed, but still did not want to start a conflict with his son outside, “Let’s finish the remaining work first before we talk about it.”
Yang Ruxin pulled Erni and headed back to the village.
As they reached the entrance of the village, they ran into a woman with a skinny little girl carrying a basket, probably going to the fields to bring water to those working.

It was their neighbor, Li Zhong’s wife, Aunt Hehua, and her daughter Li Xiang.
“Dani, are you alright?” Wang Hehua, upon seeing Dani, hurriedly greeted her.
“I’ve been worrying about you.
I wanted to come to see you, but I was afraid…” She seemed somewhat helpless.
“Aunt Hehua, I’m fine now, and I’ve been meaning to say thank you to you and Auntie Xinghua, but I haven’t had the chance.” Yang Dani smiled.
She had fainted yesterday and it was Wang Hehua and another aunt named Zhao Xinghua who had brought her back.
However, those two couldn’t bear to be cursed at by Yang Anshi, that old woman, so even though they pitied Xun Hui and her family, they dared not overtly help.
Wang Hehua was surprised for a moment, thinking that Dani had changed.
In the past, Dani would at most glance at you and then turn away, but now…
“The weather is getting hotter, Auntie.
You should hurry and bring water to Uncle Zhong.” Yang Dani, not minding the surprised look on the other’s face, smiled, “We’ll be heading back first…”
Erni also quickly said goodbye and then followed her away.
“Mom, was that Yang Dani?” Li Xiang waited until Yang Dani was far enough away before she couldn’t help but ask.
“People always change,” Wang Hehua said, over her surprise and filled with relief.
“She isn’t young anymore, and it’s about time she became sensible.
If she can really stand up for herself, your Auntie Hui’s days might get better.”
Li Xiang nodded her head and, taking one more look at Yang Dani’s retreating figure, turned and left.
Yang Dani hadn’t even entered the Yang Family’s yard when she could already hear Yang Anshi’s scolding from afar, and from the content, she knew she was berating Xun Hui.
Dani couldn’t help but lift her leg and kick open the courtyard door.
“Gran, if you have the energy, why don’t you go work in the fields?
Scolding your daughter-in-law all day, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
Yang Anshi was taken aback and wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Ruxin’s murderous face, and especially the hoe in her hand, she wisely shut her mouth and turned back into the house.
“Dani, I just made some mung bean drink and was about to bring some to you.” Yang Dongshi walked out of the kitchen, one hand holding a bucket and the other several bowls.
“Mung bean drink is good.” Yang Ruxin smiled, went straight over, took two bowls, and scooped herself two bowls of mung bean drink.
“Thanks for your hard work, Si Shu.” Then she turned and entered her own room.
