Chapter 450: Kowtow (Update 35)_1
Yang Ruxin’s face instantly turned cold.
"If we separate, how can we face anyone?" Yang Dongshi shook her head insistently, "You are pushing us into a pit of fire..."
"Fourth Auntie, Big Sister is only trying to do what’s best for you." Although Erni did not quite agree with some of Yang Ruxin’s methods and ways of speaking, there was one point she shared with the other brothers and sisters: she absolutely would not allow anyone to speak a word against Big Sister.
This was also the reason why, although Yang Ruxin did not like Erni’s personality, she still protected and loved her.
"I didn’t mean that, I..." Yang Dongshi was somewhat panicked.
"Big Sister, please take me in," Daya suddenly knelt down, "I am willing to be adopted by the main branch. I can work hard, really, and I eat very little... Dad doesn’t like me, he will surely sell me off in the future, please, Big Sister..."
Erni didn’t understand and could only stare at everyone in horror with wide eyes.
"Get up," Yang Ruxin said, stepping aside to avoid the other’s kneeling, her tone even colder, "As I said, I have no right to take you in. You have a father and mother, and if worse comes to worst, you still have grandparents and even great-grandparents. It should never come to me, a cousin who has already severed ties with the Yang Family, to take you in..."
Daya, however, remained stubbornly on the ground. Her gaze toward Yang Ruxin turned sharp, but when Yang Ruxin looked back at her, she immediately lowered her eyes.
Yang Ruxin’s heart sank; her intuition told her that this cousin might turn out to be an ingrate, who could end up hating her because of this. She might have to be cautious of this little girl in the future. Although she wasn’t afraid of any retaliatory actions, she would never underestimate any opponent who bore hostility towards her. Underestimating anyone could only put her in jeopardy.
