As a result, Liang Yuening had always been at odds with Dong Dabao, displaying her dislike, hostility, and rejection openly without holding anything back. Shujun sighed wistfully and glanced at Dong Huiying with a half-smile. Yuening felt very uneasy, probably trying to hide something, but her clumsiness instead gave off a feeling akin to being annoyed and angry. "Hurry up and get ready, Lao Er and Yixuan are still waiting at home." She turned around sullenly. Upon seeing Dong Huiying, she stiffened, then quickened her pace and hurried out the door. "Wait," Shujun called out to her. "What?" She looked somewhat dazed with her confused, blunt manner. The sly Liang Shujun quirked a smile, "I’m just wondering, did Lao Er and Yixuan really send you here?" You don’t air someone’s dirty laundry, got it? Damn it!! Roused by Yuening’s commotion, Liang Shujun also gave up on any idea of sleeping in. Though she still felt a bit fatigued, she guessed that the family must really be worried after so many days away. Of course, she also feared that Liang Yuening would find out about Tie Hailan’s scheme to fake her own death a few days earlier. Knowing Liang Yuening’s temperament, if she ever found out, she might make a huge fuss about it. This was also why initially, after being abused to the point of being covered in bruises by He Su, she didn’t even dare to return home. Although she intended to keep it secret, the change from the promised Thousand-year-old ginseng to a short, common piece of ginseng made almost everyone, except for Liang Yuening, suspect there was more to the story. Perhaps not wanting to poke at their own wounds, the brothers tacitly never brought it up. The three of them bought a few vegetarian buns to eat on the road, with Dong Huiying carrying large and small bags while Liang Shujun also carried some. Liang Yuening devoured two buns quickly and then dashed toward Dong Huiying with an energetic step. "Let me!" She was startled, and then the bags she was carrying were transferred to Liang Yuening’s hands. The cheeky kid didn’t look back as he hurried ahead, as if he was afraid she might snatch them back. She pressed her hand to her forehead, laughing helplessly. Well, alright, it seemed none of the family members were quite sane; Eldest Brother was intelligent and resourceful, Lao Er was inscrutable, Lao San was a shrewd schemer with split personalities, Lao Si was a stalker who kept sneaking glances at her, Little Wu was bad-tempered and difficult to get along with, and it seemed that only Yixuan was the most adorable! She suddenly missed him. She longed for his warm smile and yearned for his tenderness and thoughtfulness. With these thoughts, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace. In the afternoon, the trio crossed mountains and valleys and finally made their way back to Kaoshan Village. Liang’s courtyard was tidied up very neatly by Liang Yixuan, everything in its place. When the three of them came home, Liang Yixuan was feeding the chickens in front of the chicken coop with a basin. The chickens, ducks, and geese inside were all purchased by Dong Huiying a month ago during her big shopping, and they had fattened up over the days. The once destitute and gloomy Liang family was gradually filled with a fresh sense of vitality. "Baobao, Third Brother, Fifth Brother," Yixuan greeted them with a gentle smile, took the things from their hands, and helped carry them into the house. Having felt thirsty and tired the whole way, Shujun immediately gulped down a ladle of water as soon as she entered. "I was so thirsty." Yixuan’s smile remained, "There’s food on the stove, and it’s still warm." Having figured that Baobao and Third Brother were very likely to return today after Fifth Brother left last night, he had started preparing since the morning. Food, drink, and even bathwater, he had it all ready. Shujun lifted the pot lid, smiled, and took out several dishes; beneath them, there were also steaming white fluffy buns.
