Chapter 368: Sister Xin (Sixth Update)_1
"But what’s there to trick us with?" Liang Zi asked, coming over with a bunch of dry wood he’d just chopped, "Could the trickery actually bring us silver?"
"Yeah," Qian Er nodded, "maybe something’s holding him up." After a pause, "Anyway, these days let’s just live honestly, who knows... Ruxin might be watching us from the shadows..."
As soon as he said this, everyone unconsciously looked around, as if they feared Yang Ruxin might suddenly appear.
"Big brother is right; let’s just live our lives honestly," Liang Zi quickly agreed, "You guys work on the firewood, I’ll go fetch some medicine for father."
Chengzi and Liang Zi were homeless too, and Qian Er’s father was kind-hearted and felt sorry for the two children, so he let them stay in his house, giving them a place to sleep.
So, all this time the four of them had depended on each other for survival. The family had been struggling for food, but now with the five taels of silver and the one tael prepaid by Tong Lingling, their daily life had improved a lot. They had brought back quite a bit of food and even bought new clothes and bedding.
Chopping wood now was just a precaution—in case Ruxin called them away for work, and they couldn’t return, at least Old Man Qian wouldn’t be without firewood to cook.
"Not bad at all," a clear feminine voice rang out at that moment, "you guys really keep your word."
"Ruxin!" Qian Er and the others immediately looked around in surprise.
