The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2395: Relatives (3)

"Hmm." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Grandfather, take utmost care in all matters. Send word if anything arises, and I will hasten back as soon as possible. Shushan has stood for millennia; it is not going anywhere."

"From this moment forth, Keke is in your care," Tang Wanqian exhaled. "Xinxin, I actually know that she is Qingge, not Keke."

"Grandfather Tang?" Yang Ruxin exclaimed in surprise.

Tang Wanqian raised a hand, halting Yang Ruxin’s speech. "However, whether she is Qingge or Keke, they are both my granddaughters," he affirmed gently.

For a beat, Yang Ruxin was rendered speechless. With those closest to her, changes were an inevitability. What about herself? She couldn't help but cast a glance towards the main hall, pondering if Dong Wenxiu had long been aware that she was not the original Yang Dani.

Nevertheless, Yang Ruxin chose not to seek confirmation. An extraordinary event like time travel was beyond explanation, and since she had not caused harm to the original Yang Dani, she decided to let events unfold naturally.

Following lunch, Yang Ruxin, accompanied by Erni and her husband, joined Yu Qingge and Fang Tianze on a visit to the Fang Family residence in the county town. Fang Dehua and his wife served as Yang Ruxin’s godparents, making the trip feel like a return to her own parental home for both her and Erni.

They sojourned for a day, and on the fourth day, they saw Tang Wanqian off. After paying respects to some old acquaintances, Yang Ruxin journeyed back to the village, but not alone. Hao Jian and Qin Shou were now accompanying them.

On the sixth day, Li Zhong sought out Yang Ruxin. Plans were in motion to establish a medicinal wine business, a venture that necessitated the construction of a dedicated workshop.

Naturally, Yang Ruxin did not decline the collective eagerness. She laid out a general blueprint for the project before proceeding to fetch the village chief and Lizheng to demarcate the chosen land parcel.

Under Li Zhong’s direction, the construction team commenced their work with impressive alacrity.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong. All workers will receive double wages for this month," Yang Ruxin announced with a smile.

A wave of cheers erupted from the construction crew, and their labor intensified, fueled by the generous bonus.

"Alright, Xinxin, we have everything under control here. You should head back; it’s still quite cold," Li Zhong said, signaling to Li Xiang. "Accompany Xinxin back to the village," he instructed.

Yang Ruxin did not linger further and began her leisurely journey homeward.

"Isn't that Tian Jinhua? Who are those two men accompanying her?" As they departed the construction site, Yang Ruxin spotted Tian Jinhua leading two men into the village from a distance.

Li Xiang shook his head. "They appear to be relatives. I encountered her bringing two men here the day before yesterday; she mentioned they were from her maternal side."

"Two men the day before yesterday?" Yang Ruxin’s brow furrowed. "And two more men today? Does her maternal family consist entirely of male relatives?"

"Indeed, that is rather peculiar," Li Xiang mused, his own brow creasing slightly. "But then again, who pays much mind to her affairs?"

Yang Ruxin concurred. Did not everyone have relatives? It was hardly a cause for concern.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month soon arrived, ushering in another day of nationwide celebration. Both the county and the Prefectural City hosted vibrant lantern festivals. Despite her pregnancy, Yang Ruxin still escorted her family to the Fang Family’s residence in the county for an evening of revelry and lantern viewing.

The following day, the sixteenth, marked the resumption of school, and businesses gradually reopened. The New Year festivities had concluded, and everyone embarked on another year of diligent endeavor.

The sole persistent worry plaguing Yang Ruxin was the conspicuous absence of any news regarding Diewu’s demise. Despite dispatching numerous tokens, there remained an eerie silence. Recently, even Diewu herself had vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by thin air.

"It was rumored she sustained injuries previously. Perhaps she is in hiding, recuperating," Du Juan offered a possible explanation.

"Regardless, her continued existence presents a significant threat," Yang Ruxin stated, her expression darkening. Lately, her focus had been solely on bolstering the family’s defensive measures.
