Chapter 158: Cheer Up_1
"Uncle Lizheng, don’t worry. Xiaofeng will study and take the civil service examinations as well. I won’t let anyone criticize him..." Yang Ruxin said with a smile.
Li Cheng also nodded in satisfaction. He hadn’t paid much attention to this child before, as everyone said she was simple and foolish. But after a few interactions, he realized that she was actually very astute.
"If you have any troubles, go and find your Second Aunt at the elder’s home..." The village chief was also very pleased with Yang Ruxin’s attitude.
Yang Ruxin thanked everyone in turn, then she called her younger siblings together to start moving.
Although they didn’t have much in the way of valuable possessions, the small and sundry items were indeed quite numerous, making everyone look as though they were fleeing a disaster.

"Let me tell you, I did it on purpose."

Look, a slap in exchange for two hundred catties of grain, and it won the elders’ sympathy for us. If there’s trouble in the future, they might even lend us a hand. So, this is a blessing in disguise..."
