The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2268: Chapter 2268: Qian Er’s Unease (14)

”What do you mean by that?” Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow.

”I want to get married sooner,” Qian Er scratched his head, ”I also want to be a dad.”

”Don’t join in the fun,” Yang Ruxin glared at Qian Er, ”At the end of the year, our family has three weddings to host. It’s too rushed. Don’t add to the chaos. And it’s just three months until spring, it’ll come quickly,” she raised her eyebrows slightly, ”Besides, aren’t you two already together?”

”Heihei, I was just saying that,” Qian Er scratched his head, blushing, ”I’m just worried about Chun Gui’s reputation. She doesn’t mind, but I can’t not mind. I’m afraid of what others will say about her.”

Yang Ruxin pursed her lips, ”Afraid of her reputation? Why don’t you hold back? If you don’t touch her, will anyone have anything to say?”

”I...”

”Qian Er, I usually don’t meddle in these matters because it’s a mutual decision between you two,” Yang Ruxin’s expression darkened, ”But if you’re irresponsible and think that just because a woman is with you, you can do whatever you want, then don’t blame me for interfering.”

”Sister Xin, what are you saying?” Qian Er immediately became serious, ”I truly care for Chun Gui, she’s the one for me in this lifetime. If I ever wrong her, let lightning strike me.”

”No need, I’ll give you a medicine pill, and everything will be fine.”

”No, such expensive medicine shouldn’t be wasted on me.”

Yang Ruxin chuckled, ”Alright then, since you’re here, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Eat before you go.”

Qian Er didn’t stand on ceremony, as he was waiting for news from Beijing.

After breakfast, Yang Ruxin didn’t concern herself with Qian Er anymore but called over Du Chengxiu and his wife to discuss Du Juan and Du Man’s marriage in front of both mothers.

If Du Juan weren’t marrying Du Yunpeng, it would be like the Du family marrying off two daughters. But not now, marrying within the family counts as incest, so Du Juan can only marry in from elsewhere.

”We’ll take her as a god-granddaughter.” Just as they were talking, Nian Qianqian and Changyangzi walked in.

”That works perfectly,” Dong Wenxiu beamed, ”A senior’s grand-disciple marrying into the Du family, it means the Du family’s boy married a senior’s granddaughter, just right.”

Yang Ruxin twitched her mouth, why did this feel like exchanging relatives? But as everyone agreed, she wouldn’t object. However, she glanced at Changyangzi and Nian Qianqian, ”Both of you, next month our family is hosting three weddings, how about you two join in? Four couples, perfect for a group wedding.” This way, Qian Er and Chun Gui’s wedding could be brought forward.

”Sure.” Nian Qianqian got excited at once.

”What do you mean sure? At our age?” Changyangzi got up and walked away.

”What do you mean by that?” Nian Qianqian hurried after him.

Watching the two disappear in an instant, Yang Ruxin rubbed her nose, was that a yes or a no? But let it be, find time to settle it later. She then had Chai Qin bring over the box she was holding, opened it and took out two property deeds, ”These deeds are for two courtyards, but the names on them are women’s. No choice, Du Juan and Du Man are my close maids, I’m definitely biased, so Du Yunpeng and Shangguan Fei will have to be a bit aggrieved. You keep them for now and have someone tidy up in the next few days.”

When the school was being built, many extra courtyards were constructed, some given to the teachers, but many remain unused, intended as rewards for excellent servants. Now, Du Juan and Du Man were the first to receive such a reward, though you could say it was for Du Yunpeng and Shangguan Fei too.

”How are they aggrieved? They’ll probably be overjoyed,” Du Chengxiu’s eyes reddened, and Ya Family’s tears fell directly.

”Uncle Du, Aunt Ye, no tears now,” Yang Ruxin smiled, ”Days are only going to get better. You’re soon to be grandparents, you should be happy. Let Du Juan give you a grandson or granddaughter next year, and you’ll be enjoying family joy.”

”Indeed,” Dong Wenxiu nodded eagerly, ”Happy occasions should make us happy.”

”Right.” Du Chengxiu sniffled, ”The madam is right, we should be happy and smiling in the future.” Saying this, he handed the deeds to Ye Family, ”You keep these, they are the madam’s regards. As long as we work sincerely, we will have everything.”

”That’s the spirit.” Yang Ruxin nodded.

Just as the talk wrapped up, the call of an eagle sounded.

Yang Ruxin rushed to the yard, just in time to see a black shadow swooping down, slowing as it approached, and landing on her shoulder.

Qian Er hurried over.

Qi Jingyi’s letter was brief, but it made Yang Ruxin’s heart skip a beat. Those two indeed had an incident, since Weng Xin was also suddenly out of contact, no news for days, likely a grim situation.

”What to do?” Qian Er’s eyes reddened.

”We can’t conclude that they encountered misfortune until the last moment,” Yang Ruxin sighed, ”They had trouble only after reaching the southern headquarters. I’ll immediately send a message to your brother-in-law for help, and you...”

”Alright.” Qian Er understood it wasn’t time to be sad, taking a deep breath, ”Sister Xin, don’t worry, I know my priorities, I’ll manage the shop well.”

Yang Ruxin nodded, watched him leave, and quickly sent a message to Gu Qingheng.

”Xinxin, is something wrong?” Feng Zilan anxiously approached.

”Qingheng is fine,” Yang Ruxin smiled, ”Don’t worry, it’s nothing major.”

”Good.” Feng Zilan sighed in relief, as long as it wasn’t trouble for Gu Qingheng, she could handle it.

Yang Ruxin completely understood this woman’s mindset, couldn’t call her selfish, just that her love for Gu Qingheng was immense. Perhaps since her mother-in-law’s passing, this woman gave her whole self to her young master, if Gu Qingheng was well, she was well, if anything happened to him, she’d be the first unable to live.

Even knowing Chengzi and Weng Xin might be in trouble, but nothing could be done for now, life had to go on.

What surprised Yang Ruxin was, during lunch, the previously departed Changyangzi and Nian Qianqian hadn’t returned. But Dao Xuzi said not to bother with them, they’ll come back when their whim ended.

Yang Ruxin knew the two couldn’t have an accident, so she let it be, just instructed the kitchen to keep the stove ready, and as soon as they returned, prepare food immediately.

After lunch, Yang Ruxin started wandering around the village.

It’s offseason now, so every household had people.

In the past, maybe everyone would have to do odd jobs outside, but now the village had got furniture workshops, transportation teams, construction teams, and herb fields. As long as they weren’t lazy, they had money to spare, so no one went out anymore, and even began preparing for the new year early.
