Chapter 2280: Chapter 2280: No Obligation (26)
"Stop talking!" Yang Ruban suddenly shouted.
Yang Ruxin shrugged her shoulders and really stopped talking.
Yang Rusong’s face looked even worse than Yang Ruban’s: "Ruban, is everything the eldest cousin said true?" No wonder he took the initiative to come back today; it turns out he owes debt outside. Otherwise, you probably couldn’t find this second brother even if someone died.
"I..." Yang Ruban didn’t dare to look at Yang Rusong, but he looked at Yang Ruxin as if she were a demon, "You’re investigating me?"
"Yang Ruban, stop flattering yourself. Do I have the time to investigate you? But you shouldn’t have flaunted my brother’s name around to scam people." Yang Ruxin sneered, "Let me remind you, it seems someone has already reported to the authorities."
"You..."
"So, Yang Ruban, you pretending to want change is a lie. You just want me to help you pay off your high-interest loans and settle the people chasing you." Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you think I’m so easy to manipulate?"
"No." Yang Ruban was immediately frightened, hastily kneeling down, "Eldest cousin, please help me, or I’m done for."
"Have you forgotten? Our branch of the family cut ties with your old house long ago, so don’t call me eldest cousin anymore." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "At most, we’re fellow townspeople. You can call me Sister Xin."
"You..." Yang Ruban stood up angrily, raised his hand to point at Yang Ruxin, "You..." But when he met Yang Ruxin’s gaze, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, "You’re really ruthless!"
"Ruban." Yang Rusong shouted sternly.
Yang Ruban glared at Yang Rusong, then turned and walked out.
Yang Rusong stood up wanting to chase him, but after taking two steps, he silently knelt back onto the original mat.
Fortunately, that kid didn’t really run away. He retreated after reaching the door, glared at everyone, and then returned to his room.
"Xinxin, did Ruban really..." Dong Wenxiu could hardly believe it.
"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Mother, it’s not that I don’t want to help him, it’s just that I can’t. He’s incorrigible. Help him once, and it’ll lead to endless troubles in the future."
"Then let it go." Dong Wenxiu replied straightforwardly, "Xinxin you’re already working hard enough. We can’t handle that much."
Yang Ruxin smiled. Her mother’s heart was still soft, but she was beginning to discern right from wrong, which was great.
"Aunt, as for Ruban..."
"Rusong." Dong Wenxiu’s face darkened, "Ruban is not young anymore. No one else is obligated to clean up his mess, and my family certainly isn’t."
Yang Rusong nodded, "I’m sorry."
"It’s not your problem." Dong Wenxiu waved her hand, "You are a good child and will definitely get better in the future."
Yang Rusong gave a bitter smile, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing because he really didn’t know what to say.
Inside the room on the west side, standing at the door, Yang Ruban listened to the conversation outside. His face twisted in anger, and his hands clenched into fists.
From the room on the east side came a long sigh, "Such sin." followed by Yang Peili’s cough.
Yang Ruxin glanced at the door of the adjacent room. Although it was closed, she could feel that Yang Ruban was eavesdropping behind it. She couldn’t help but sigh. The child was too full of spite and would surely suffer in the future, but it had nothing to do with her.
