Yang Ruxin’s eyes widened in surprise, and for a long while, she couldn’t respond. She hadn’t mentioned it before because she was afraid it would hurt his pride. She actually didn’t like it when people criticized him either, but unexpectedly...
"What’s wrong? Don’t agree?" Gu Qingheng, seeing that Yang Ruxin hadn’t responded for quite some time, quickly reached out his hand. "You don’t want to keep me anymore?"
"No, it’s not that." Yang Ruxin took his hand. "I thought you wouldn’t agree before, so I didn’t bring it up. If I had known you wouldn’t mind, I would have told you sooner. In that case, I’ll go and talk to Aunt Feng right away and ask her to pack her clothes..."
However, Gu Qingheng held on to her hand and wouldn’t let go. "There’s no hurry. The key is, have you talked to your family about it?"
"I need to get your opinion before I can tell them, otherwise if you don’t come, they’ll be disappointed..." Yang Ruxin patted the back of Gu Qingheng’s hand. "Yesterday, Xiaofeng was still muttering that if you don’t move in, we’ll be too far apart. I’ll tell them as soon as they come back."
As they were speaking, they saw Xiaofeng running over, with Little Shanzi following behind him, both drenched in sweat. From a distance, Xiaofeng waved to Yang Ruxin, "Big sister..."
"Slow down," Yang Ruxin quickly waved her hands. "Don’t fall over."
"I’m pretty nimble now, I won’t fall," Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, waving his hand. Then he ran up close, glanced at Gu Qingheng, and asked, "Brother-in-law, why don’t you live with us?"
Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes speechlessly. These little ones, really, whether it’s calling him brother-in-law or Ruxin’s husband. Even though this man was the one she had chosen, they weren’t married yet. Don’t they know to keep a low profile?
Gu Qingheng was happy, though. "Who says we’re not living together? We are going to live together."
"Really?" Xiaofeng’s eyes lit up. "That’s great, the new house has so many rooms. Can you live next to me?"
"What are you talking about? Brother Gu can’t easily navigate the stairs; he should live on the first floor," Yang Ruxin ruffled Xiaofeng’s hair. "Go and move things now."
"Then we will also move to the first floor," Xiaofeng said and ran into the house. Then with Little Shanzi, they each grabbed a cloth bundle and ran off. "We also need to pick out a room for Brother Gu Yao." Then he turned and dashed off. He needed to go quickly and tell Brother Dabao that their brother-in-law was going to live with them too. This was just too good.
Despite Gu Qingheng’s disability, he was so good at studying and knew martial arts, so he had long been an idol in the hearts of the boys.
"Alright, let Aunt Feng tidy up a bit, and tonight we’ll have a big feast, to celebrate the warming of our new place," Yang Ruxin said and headed into the Gu family home.
The Feng family had no objections about where to live; as long as the young master was happy, it was fine. Moreover, Yang Ruxin had sincerely invited her. She even suggested that she talk more with Xun Hui now and then, as Xun Hui’s thoughts could be very extreme at times.
However, Xun Hui felt it was inappropriate for the Gu family to move in as well, but looking at her eldest daughter, she couldn’t muster the courage to speak up.
While they were busily moving in on this side, the atmosphere was gloomy over at the old house.
"Dad," Yang Baichuan was also extremely agitated. "Just let the fifth one go live with the main branch. With the current situation at home, how can we afford the medical expenses for two people?"
"Yes, and we should call Baihe back too. She’s already a grown girl, staying every day at a relative’s house is not ideal, right?" Feng Caie added. "Besides, she’s reaching the age to talk about marriage. She should come back and start learning how to manage household chores, shouldn’t
