Since everyone had chores at home, Liu Cuiyun and Zhao Xinghua had agreed to take turns, and today it was Liu Cuiyun who had come over to Wang Hehua’s home bright and early.
"Mom, auntie, I’ve got something to say." Yang Xiaoshun had already dashed into the house.
Li Xiang also hurriedly put down her basket and went to the kitchen to get two baked sweet potatoes before entering the house, just in time to hear Yang Xiaoshun’s words, and immediately became anxious, "Are you sure you heard right?"
"Definitely," Yang Xiaoshun nodded eagerly, "I was right there in the tree just now, they were talking under the tree as they arrived..."
"How can someone so young be so malicious?" Liu Cuiyun sighed.
"The beam is crooked, and the lower one is askew," Wang Hehua also sighed, "That whole family, now it seems there isn’t a good one among them..."
"You, don’t listen to that nonsense," Li Xiang scolded, slapping Xiao Shunzi on the head, "Don’t imitate their damn behavior."
"Sister Xiaoxiang, when have I ever listened?" Yang Xiaoshun said, feeling wronged as he rubbed his head, "I’m just reciting it for you to hear..."
At that, Li Xiang gave a grunt of acknowledgment.
"One after another, they’re like monsters that eat people, not stopping until they torment the members of the main house to death..."
"Isn’t that the truth? If we didn’t know we could let it be, but now that we do know, how can we not care? At the very least, we have to warn Xinxin..." Liu Cuiyun glanced at Wang Hehua, "Don’t be angry, Hehua. Xinxin said that pregnant women need to stay happy, and besides, that girl is not the average miss; she won’t suffer easily..."
"Let’s hope so," Wang Hehua nodded and then touched her stomach, "Xiaoxiang, you go and remind Xinxin, be wary of those jackals..."
"I’ll go right now," said Li Xiang, turning around and running out.
"I’ll go too." Xiao Shunzi also hurriedly followed her out.
At Yang Ruxin’s house, they had already made quite a few sausages, all hanging under the porch to dry.
"Xinxin..." Li Xiang hadn’t even entered the door when she started calling out.
Xu Shou naturally recognized Li Xiang and Xiao Shunzi and didn’t stop them, letting her rush in.
"Why are you both running over here so frantically?" Yang Ruxin glanced at the two with their red faces and couldn’t help laughing, "You didn’t come because you heard I was making sausages today, hoping to eat them, did you? They can’t be eaten yet; they need to dry before we steam them..."
"Oh come on, who wants to eat your sausages?" Li Xiang waved her hand dismissively. "There you are, going on as if nothing is the matter. Do you have any idea that you’ve been targeted?"
Yang Xiaoshun nodded vigorously behind her.
"Who has set their sights on Xinxin?" Before Yang Ruxin could speak, a voice came from the side.
"Gu... Brother Gu..." Upon seeing Gu Qingheng, Li Xiang suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, since his eyes had healed, he was undeniably handsome. Of course, she didn’t have any other thoughts; she was merely shy in the presence of a handsome man.
"Who’s set their sights on my Ruxin?" Gu Qingheng asked again, his tone was gentle, but his expression had already darkened.
"It’s..." Li Xiang instinctively took a step back, overwhelmed by his suddenly intimidating presence.
Yang Ruxin quickly went over and patted Gu Qingheng on the shoulder; ever since he regained his sight, his aura had indeed become somewhat intimidating.
The moment Gu Qingheng was comforted, like a pacified puppy, his fur smoothed and his aura faded.
Li Xiang stuck out her tongue at Yang Ruxin.
"Brother Gu, let me explain," Yang Xiaoshun stepped forward eagerly, "I overheard it just now in the big tree by the old Yang Family’s doorway..." He then repeated all he had heard, without missing a word.
