Chapter 354: The Reason for the Separation (Part 1)_1
"I know you’re Aunt Sanni, haven’t we already addressed you?" Yang Ruxin blinked innocently, "But Aunt Sanni, you’ve only heard about our separation, didn’t you hear about the reason why we split up?"
"What reason?" Yang Baihui frowned as Yang Baihe only said that this wretched girl had become formidable but never explained the specifics.
"It was because my mother was knocked unconscious by Yang Baichuan with a stick, and because it hit her head and he struck with such force, my mother has been in a coma ever since. We have to keep prying her mouth open to pour the medicine down, and it costs about twenty to thirty taels of silver a month..." Yang Ruxin let out a cold laugh.
"That much?" Yang Baihui gasped in shock. Twenty to thirty taels a month? Wouldn’t that be the death of them?
"It wouldn’t need to be so much, but my mother can’t drink the medicine on her own since she’s unconscious. We have to force it down, and each time a lot gets wasted. There’s no helping it; to ensure the medicinal effect, the doctor asked us to double the dosage, so naturally, the cost in silver increased..." Yang Ruxin spread her hands, "It’s because of the need to spend silver that your uncle and grandparents drove us out..."
Yang Baihui’s lips twitched before she too broke into a cold smirk. She knew her parents all too well. In their hearts, her eldest brother and younger sister were their lifelines. They would sacrifice themselves for her brother’s future, and now, to not hinder her younger sister’s prospects, they would likewise sacrifice the entire family of the eldest son, but... her gaze swept over Yang Ruxin: "Your mother probably won’t make it anyway, so why let her drag you down?" It would be better if Xun Hui were dead.
"How can you say such things, Aunt Sanni?" Yang Ruxin frowned, "She is my mother, and I’ve already lost my father. Should I lose my mother too? Wouldn’t that make us less than human?"
Because of Yang Ruxin’s resolute tone and clear eyes, Yang Baihui was momentarily rendered speechless.
