Chapter 143: Sand Mixed In_1
Yang Baixiang looked into Yang Ruxin’s resolute eyes and did not persist. He knew that his hope of separating from the family was exceedingly slim.
In the afternoon, the ancestral hall of the Yang Family, located in the middle of the village, was opened, and Yang Baiyue’s branch was officially separated.
The Lizheng returned at dusk. Out of sympathy for the orphaned and widowed main branch of the Yang Family, the Lizheng did not ask for a single piece of silver for his service. He even covered his own travel expenses and lunch, only charging the two hundred Wen required to stamp the documents at the Governor’s Office.
Yang Ruxin could only gratefully take note of this kindness.
Gu Family.
"Those Yang Family folks are no good at all," said Feng Family with a sigh. "It’s so hard for Xinxin, being so young and having to bear the responsibility of a family... With no adults around, how will they get by?" She then instructed Gu Yao, "You should go and check on them when you can, see if they need any help, and give them a hand if possible..."
"Mother," Gu Qingheng interjected to stop Feng Family’s well-intentioned offer, "let’s not have Ayao go over for the time being. People will talk, and there will be chances to offer support later..."
Feng Family was taken aback, not understanding why the eldest son would advise against offering help at this moment but said nothing.
Gu Yao, however, glanced at Gu Qingheng and couldn’t help but feel that although his big brother was blind, he seemed to know exactly what Yang Dani was going to do next.
