Upon hearing about the corn cakes, Ye Ziāan chuckled and happily accepted them. Seeing his beaming smile, Yang Chuxia couldnāt help but feel doubtful. Was Qingrui making things up? She found it hard to imagine this seemingly foolish boy being aloof in his daily life.
"Thank you!"
"Iāve never met anyone like you who refuses silver but wants corn cakes," Yang Chuxia mumbled.
Ye Ziāan didnāt say anything upon hearing her words, just kept smiling.
"Alright, you should head back now. Be careful tonight and watch out for Ms.Hua Junior causing you trouble."
Yang Chuxia reminded him before waving her hand, signaling Ye Ziāan to leave.
It felt like a big shot speaking to a subordinate, telling them to kneel and leave.
"Okay, Iāll be careful." Ye Ziāan replied, but he remained rooted to the spot.
"Why arenāt you leaving? What are you staring at?" Yang Chuxia looked at him, frowning.
"You go first," Ye Ziāan said with a faint smile.
Yang Chuxia was stunned momentarily and then waved her hand impatiently, "Stop dawdling, you go first!" She glared intensely at Ye Ziāan, forcing him to leave first.
She didnāt find him annoying but was concerned about his leg problem. The darker it got, the harder it would be for him to walk, right? Additionally, there was the potential danger of Ms. Hua Junior. It felt safer for him to get home sooner.
Thinking about how far away he lived, Yang Chuxia worried that if anything happened, he might not be able to find anyone to help.
Watching the lanky but slender figure of the boy, Yang Chuxiaās eyebrows furrowed into a frown. Every time she saw Ye Ziāan, she was reminded of her fatherās weak arm and she felt even more disgusted with Old Lady Hua. Hmph, absolutely canāt let Old Lady Hua off so easily. If her father didnāt care, she couldnāt be indifferent either.
As for the intruder, she had to drive her out. Old Lady Hua had to be stripped layer by layer, dealing with her little burdens one by one, driving her mad in the process.
She made up her mind to start with Yang Daāanās family, then Yang Xiaoāanās family, and Yang Xiaochuanās family, saving Old Lady Hua for last. She refused to believe that she couldnāt handle such an old, devout woman. However, before she could take action, Yang Xiaoāan came knocking; but thatās another story.
Yang Chuxia nodded to herself and looked ahead. Ye Ziāan had already disappeared from sight, so she hurried home.
As soon as Yang Chuxia vanished, Ye Ziāan suddenly emerged from a corner, staring blankly at her departing figure for a while before heading home.
When Yang Chuxia returned to the Yang Family, they had yet to eat dinner. The family was gathered around the table, staring at the silver ingot left on it. As Yang Chuxia walked in, Yang Dachuan and Ms. Wang hurriedly turned their gazes towards her.
"Xiaxia, is it true? Did you really catch a big fish?" While Yang Chuxia was away, Yang Qingrui had relayed the story once, but because the amount of silver was quite large, Ms. Wang had a hard time believing it.
As soon as Yang Chuxia came back, Ms. Wang couldnāt help but ask for confirmation.
"Yeah, we saw it this morning. Brother An works at a restaurant, so I asked him to sell it there." Yang Chuxia then took out the other silver ingot from her sleeve and placed it on the table. "Originally, as we both saw the fish, I intended to share the money with Brother An, but he absolutely refused."
