Yang Ruxin chuckled, "How did you come to that conclusion?"
Yang Ruban pointed at Yang Baixiang, "Uncle Xiaowu is an example. He used to be a cripple, and now not only does he have a wife, but he’s going to be a father. And then there’s Erya, if she hadn’t caught your eye, she might have starved to death by now..."
"So what?"
"So I want to follow you from now on." Yang Ruban slapped his thigh, "Young Master Qin said our family is full of fools. So many people outside want to cozy up to you and can’t, but here we are, your relatives, at odds with you. It’s the height of stupidity."
Yang Ruxin scratched her forehead, that beast made her a reformed scoundrel?
"Cousin, just take me in. From now on, I’ll really listen to you." Seeing Yang Ruxin not speaking, Yang Ruban got anxious, "As long as you let me eat and dress well, I’ll do whatever you want."
"Eat well and dress well? Does that mean you also want some silver to spend?"
Yang Ruban immediately scratched his head, "With all the silver you have, you surely won’t miss a couple of taels for me, right?"
Yang Ruxin sneered, "It’s true I don’t lack money, but what can you do?"
"I..."
"Can you write or do accounting? Know martial arts or farming?"
Yang Ruban continued to scratch his head.
"You don’t know anything. Why should I take you in?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Because we’re relatives." Yang Ruban giggled, "From now on, anything you tell me to do, I’ll do it, really."
"Relatives?" Yang Ruxin questioned, then smiled and slowly went back to eating her small dumplings one by one.
Yang Ruban, unnerved by Yang Ruxin’s smile, watched her anxiously, and the others didn’t speak, as no one knew what Yang Ruxin meant.
After a while, Yang Ruban mustered the courage, "Cousin, are you really going to be so heartless and watch me turn bad again? They say a prodigal son returning..."
"What does it matter to me if you’re good or bad?" Yang Ruxin suddenly looked up and sneered, "In any case, I’m not the one enjoying the good life or getting beaten up."
"Cousin, what do you mean? I was young and naive before, but I regret it now. Besides, you gave Big Brother a chance to reform, why not give me one too?" Yang Ruban was about to cry.
"Xinxin." Dong Wenxiu couldn’t bear it and spoke up.
Yang Ruxin looked over.
Dong Wenxiu immediately shut up.
"Yang Ruban, tonight’s not the time to talk about this." Yang Ruxin finished her dumplings and handed the empty bowl to Chai Qin.
"Cousin, I’m out of options, so I’m begging you, in front of grandma, give me a chance."
"Hehe." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Are you sure this is the truth?"
Yang Ruban’s eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, but he still nodded, "Of course, I’m sincerely reformed."
"Yang Ruban, do you really take me for a fool?" Yang Ruxin sighed, "Not to mention earlier events, just last month, you owed twenty taels at the Yuanbao Gambling House in the county town, which has probably doubled with interest by now."
Yang Ruban’s face turned pale instantly, and he unconsciously shifted to the side, "You, how did you know that?"
"That’s not all I know. A few days ago, you got into a big fight in the neighboring town over a brothel girl and injured someone..."
