The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1603: Chapter 1603: Want to Build a Building (3)

”Xinxin, everyone understands these pros and cons. If we’re always afraid of this and that, then all we can do is remain as mud-legged peasants our whole lives. But if we follow you, maybe there’s a chance to step out, to change the family’s prospects...” Yang Mancang waved his hand dismissively. ”So, you don’t need to worry about this. As long as they follow Xiaofeng and Young Master Zhou, they’ll unquestionably stay loyal. Otherwise, the clan wouldn’t tolerate them either...”

”Exactly, Xinxin. Since following you means learning a skill, of course, it comes with risks. We all understand that. Honestly, I had thought about it before, but I was too embarrassed to bring it up. Now that you’ve suggested it, letting Xiaoshun follow you, his dad and I have nothing to worry about,” Liu Cuiyun decided before Yang Zhenli even returned. ”I believe that even when your eighth uncle gets back, he’d agree too. From now on, this kid is yours to handle. If he doesn’t listen, don’t be shy about hitting him...”

Yang Ruxin’s lips twitched. ”Aunt Eighth, letting Xiaoshun follow Zhou Xiao is so he can study with him, not so he can be hit. Don’t worry—who knows, maybe Xiaoshun will even earn you an Imperial Edict someday...”

”Well, that’d be wonderful! I’ll be waiting for it...” Liu Cuihua laughed heartily and stamped her handprint down, officially sending her youngest son to the Yang Family.

Of course, years later, she would feel immensely grateful for this decision.

Although the agreements were signed, Yang Ruxin didn’t immediately have people come over. Instead, she sent them home to make preparations and told them to come in three days.

However, no one took it too seriously. What’s there to prepare? They all lived in the same village and could see each other anytime, so in the end, Yang Ruxin directly brought the people back home herself.

With more people now, the single building became a bit crowded. So, Yang Ruxin opened up two of the smaller buildings next door—one for Erni and Gu Yao, as they were married and needed to start living independently, and the other for Xiaofeng.

Neither of them had any objections. After all, it was just separated by a wall, and that wall even had Moon Sect gates connecting them. It was no different from living together.

Besides, all the furniture and bedding in those houses were fully equipped, and there were people who cleaned and tidied them every day. They could move in immediately. So, the two of them took their people and moved right in.

Erni was fine—she was married and no longer young. But Xiaofeng was only five years old. Dong Wenxiu couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Still, seeing her son’s resolute little face, she didn’t dare say much. That night, however, she got up two or three times, sneaking over to the neighboring house to check if her son was sleeping well.

Of course, this went on for many days, until she observed that her son was managing himself quite well, and the maidservants were all diligent and attentive. Only then did she feel reassured.

Meanwhile, the six children also began their days of learning alongside Zhou Xiao and Xiaofeng.

But Yang Ruxin noticed that Zhou Xiao didn’t seem particularly happy.

”Out with it—what’s on your mind?” Yang Ruxin felt that she had been away for quite a while, and after returning had been too preoccupied with opening the shop, thus neglecting the younger ones around her. She didn’t notice the issue earlier, but now that she had, she wouldn’t let any knots linger in their hearts.

”Sister Xin, I also want to build a little house,” Zhou Xiao lifted his eyes to Yang Ruxin. ”A small building of my own... Is the silver my dad gave you enough? If it’s not, I’ll write him and ask him to send more...”
