Yang Dongshi’s mouth twitched as she opened her mouth to retaliate, but seeing that her mother-in-law had already entered the room, she quickly shut it.
She wasn’t foolish—Yang Dani was obviously becoming crazed, and Yang Dongshi had no desire to provoke her.
Inside the room, Xun Hui was having a stare-down with Sanni, while Sini and Xiaofeng each clung tightly to Xun Hui’s arms.
“Are you two having a cockfight?” Yang Ruxin frowned, not needing to ask to know what was happening—it must have been Xun Hui wanting to go out and work, but Sanni obeying her order not to let her out.
“Dani, you’re finally back.
Mother, she…” Sanni’s face lit up with joy and relief at the same time.
This was the first time she had openly defied her mother.
“That’s enough, stop talking.
Everyone, come and drink some mung bean soup,” Yang Ruxin waved her hand, placing two bowls of mung bean soup on the table.
Sini and Xiaofeng immediately released their hold with delight and ran to Yang Ruxin’s side.
Xun Hui, who had been cautious not to hurt the children, hadn’t used much force until now.
Finding herself free, she quickly got up, but just as she reached the door, Yang Ruxin’s voice came from behind her.

“Mother, do you really want to go out?”
Xun Hui paused in her steps, turning around to look at her oldest daughter with a conflicted expression.
“If you want to go out, I won’t stop you, but if you faint or get sick again, I won’t be taking care of you…” Yang Ruxin took a sip of the mung bean soup, then called the younger ones over, “Come here.
There’s sugar in it.” She glanced at Sanni and Erni, “The two of you drink that one.”
However, none of them moved, watching Xun Hui with concern.
“Dani, I…” Xun Hui said with a face full of astonishment, “People will gossip.”
“Let whoever wants to gossip, gossip,” Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow, “As if we haven’t faced criticism even when we’ve been careful and diligent before.”
Xun Hui bit her lip.
“I shouldn’t be speaking like this, but I have no choice.
I don’t want any accidents befalling anyone in our family, so now I have to be tough.
You have two choices: either go out and continue being the faithful and filial daughter-in-law, and if you end up dead from exhaustion or abuse, that’s your choice; I won’t intervene, but I promise to try my hardest to raise the little ones,” Yang Ruxin looked up at Xun Hui, “Or go back to bed, heal your wounds, and as for everything else outside, I’ll handle it.” She then stopped looking at Xun Hui and pulled the little ones close to her side.
All the children watched Xun Hui with wide eyes.
Xun Hui, terribly conflicted, stood still for a long time without moving.
Eventually, she let out a sigh, turned, and sat down on the bed, her hands twisting together tightly.
Yang Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Although her words were harsh, how could she not do anything if something really happened?
It was best that Xun Hui had decided to stay.
“Hurry up and drink the mung bean soup.” Yang Ruxin’s lips curled into a smile as she took her large bowl, poured a little into it, and handed it to Xun Hui.
“I…” Xun Hui wanted to refuse, but meeting Yang Ruxin’s gaze, she simply couldn’t and accepted the drink with a dazed look.
Yang Ruxin then fed the rest to Sini and Xiaofeng.
“Dani, drink,” Sini pushed the bowl toward Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin smiled, took a small sip, and then fed a mouthful to one and then another, quickly finishing off the half bowl of mung bean soup.
“So sweet,” Sini smacked her lips, smiling very contentedly.
