Chapter 2866: Chapter 2866: I’ll Help You
"It’s because Fourth Sister goes around telling sob stories." Erya smirked as she followed in, "Even though she didn’t outright say it was Big Sister’s fault, the insinuation couldn’t be clearer."
"Doesn’t matter." Yang Ruxin carried a bowl of tea eggs inside, "Let her be, come and eat some eggs."
The few girls saw Big Sister like this and stopped talking, anyway Big Sister surely has a way to deal with that person.
"I just saw Aunt Feng going to the back when I was coming in." Erya took a bite of her tea egg, "She seemed to have a bundle with her."
"She’s going to see Uncle Lao Kuan." Yang Ruxin was quite pleased with the tea eggs she made this time, "Didn’t Uncle Lao Kuan sprain his ankle a few days ago? He’s been unable to move these days."
"Aunt Feng and Uncle Lao Kuan..." Sini slightly raised an eyebrow, "Could it be..."
"Both have feelings but too many concerns." Yang Ruxin sighed, "I’m worried over it too."
"Just give them some medicine, ouch!" Sini hurriedly jumped away, "Second Sister, why did you hit me?"
"I hit you because you’re spouting nonsense." Erni gave her younger sister a glare, "Is that medicine something you can just give to anyone?"
"I was just saying!" Sini made a face at Erni and then looked at Yang Ruxin, "Big Sister, actually, my words aren’t wrong, over the years, many people have tried to matchmake for Uncle Lao Kuan, just the other day Second Aunt mentioned it again, and the match was a twenty-year-old girl, but Uncle Lao Kuan rejected her outright, Second Aunt kept asking him what kind of person he really wanted."
"Giving medicine is absolutely out of the question, though we certainly could encourage them more." Yang Ruxin rubbed her chin, if they were in the post-modern era, she could’ve just booked them a couple’s trip to Bali, but here... a Xiaocang Mountain two-day tour? Seems far-fetched.
July’s fire scorched the sky.
That day, a thunderbolt split a tree at the mountain’s base, sparking a fire, but fortunately, right after the thunder came heavy rain, instantly extinguishing the fire without causing panic or loss.
Yang Ruyu seemed anxious these days, half a month passed, she roamed the village, trying to ruin Yang Ruxin’s reputation, clearly to no avail, trying to inquire about village workshops, also unsuccessfully.
She must speed up, after all, the seventeenth isn’t far off.
Yang Ruxin once specified that on the seventeenth of every month, people could come to deliver mountain goods in exchange for silver, she negotiated with Er Banzzi for that day, she must return on that day to take the antidote.
But if she could topple Yang Ruxin before that, she’d be content even if it killed her!
At that moment, she suddenly smelled a fragrance, and instantly lost consciousness.
Upon waking again, she found herself sprawled on the floor, hastily stood up, realizing she was in a rather empty room, while a figure dressed in black, totally covered, sat in the high chair, not even revealing their eyes.
"It’s you?" Yang Ruyu stepped closer to the black-cloaked person.
"I’m here to help you." The person’s voice remained low and altered.
"Help me?" Yang Ruyu sneered, "If you truly wanted to help me, go kill Yang Ruxin."
"Heh, you couldn’t afford the price." The black-clad person lifted a hand with black-gloved fingers and shook it.
"Then why help me?"
"Because I need you to do something for me, I’ll help you detoxify." The black-cloaked person rose, stepping forward, "How about it?"
