52 -52: The Second Room’s Thoughts_1

Yang Ruxin had a sinking feeling, and thought to herself that she would gradually need to change everyone’s habit of drinking cold water.

Otherwise, if they fell ill, it would be troublesome.

However, now was not the time to dwell on such matters.

Instead, she turned to look at Yang Erni and asked, “What about you?

Will you listen to me?”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, big sister.” Erni’s eyes reddened, and the tears began to fall, so she quickly wiped them away and gobbled down half an egg in two bites, “So delicious…”

Yang Ruxin smiled, her heart full of gratification.

Although the people in the main house were poor and ostracized, the siblings’ affection for each other was something that money couldn’t buy.

Just like in her past life, when she and her band of little brothers would fight tooth and nail for each other, always willing to endure loss and hardship rather than see one another hurt.

They were united as one, an unbreakable alliance.

She wondered if, without her, they would still be as united as before.

She decided not to think about it anymore, figuring she wouldn’t be going back for quite a while.

Moreover, right now, she seemed to rediscover that sense of unity with the few little buns around her.

That night, with everyone well-fed, there was a sense of contentment in their hearts, and they all went to bed with smiles on their faces.

In the side room of the second branch.

Yang Baichuan had not passed the examination for Scholar, but he had attended school for several years, spent time in the town, and even visited the county, so his horizons were relatively broad, which naturally meant he was quite cunning.

Now, having washed his feet and face with the help of Feng Caie, the two started to whisper.

Their whispers naturally centered around Yang Ruxin.

Feng Caie exaggerated the events of the day as she recounted Yang Ruxin’s actions.

Yang Baichuan was dumbstruck, “You mean, that girl didn’t just have a momentary brain fart?”

“It doesn’t seem like it,” Feng Caie shook her head.

“How did she suddenly become so formidable?” Yang Baichuan frowned, “If she really has come to her senses, then…” then that girl cannot stay.

Feng Caie glanced at her husband.

Although he didn’t finish his sentence, she guessed his thoughts instantly and chuckled, “That girl is always following the Guan family’s boy, not exactly known for a good reputation.

But, if I remember correctly, her birthday is in July, right?

So she’s less than two months away from turning fourteen.

A grown girl isn’t meant to stay at home…”

Yang Baichuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Yes, with big brother gone, as her second uncle, it’s natural for me to be concerned about my nieces’ marriages…”

“A few days ago, while chatting with Guo Damouth from the small town east of here, I heard that in some mountain villages, they’re too poor to find brides easily.

Usually, a family pools money together to buy a bride, and several brothers end up sharing one.

As long as she can bear children, that’s enough…” She paused for a moment, “There was a family with four brothers, all well into their twenties, who bought a mute bride through matchmaking…”

“What price?” Yang Baichuan’s eyebrows twitched ever so slightly; he was aware of this practice.

“She said that they paid four taels of silver…” Feng Caie’s eyes were also shining, “A mute is worth six taels, so if she looks good, probably seven or eight taels, right?”

Yang Baichuan immediately raised his hand to his chin, contemplating.

His eldest niece was rather pretty, surely worth eight taels of silver.

Then there were Erni, Sanni, and Sini.

If he could manage to send them all off to those mountain villages, wouldn’t he strike it rich?

“By the way, she also said that widows are worth more, especially those who have borne children…” Feng Caie suddenly added, “They can fetch nearly ten taels.”
