Chapter 961: Thick-skinned (4)
After the meal, Yang Ruxin watched Gu Qingheng follow Dao Xuzi away before picking up the gift and preparing to enter the village, only to be stopped by Qian Xiaoyun.
"Xinxin," Qian Xiaoyun had been living here for so many days, and with Dao Xuzi’s treatment, her body and leg had improved a lot, "I should go back too."
Yang Ruxin thought for a moment and nodded: "Then tomorrow, let Uncle Xu drive the horse carriage to send you back."
"Thank you." Qian Xiaoyun quickly bowed her head to eat, hiding her reddened eyes. In fact, she had said too many words of thanks, but she didn’t know what else to say.
Yang Ruxin patted her shoulder, then entered the village. She wasn’t in a hurry for anything else, but she was very concerned about Xiaoxiang’s marriage prospects, hoping Xiaoxiang could find a good family.
Aunt Hehua’s belly had already swelled up, looking quite alarming, so she didn’t go out much anymore, only walking around at home and always needing someone with her.
Li Zhong hadn’t returned yet, and although Aunt Xinghua and Aunt Cuiyun helped out occasionally, the household responsibilities essentially fell on Xiaoxiang’s shoulders. Nevertheless, the young girl was capable, keeping the house in order and taking excellent care of her mother.
"Xinxin, you finally came." Li Xiang was sweeping the yard. Because Aunt Hehua would occasionally walk there, she always kept the yard very clean, not even a single pebble to be found, let alone accumulated snow, all for fear that the pregnant woman might inadvertently slip and fall.
"Our Xiaoxiang is so capable, whoever marries her will surely have good fortune..." Yang Ruxin teased as she walked inside.
"You naughty girl, always teasing me," Li Xiang’s face flushed, "Are you saying the one who married you is not fortunate?"
