Yang Rusong’s face flushed slightly: "Cousin, I don’t want to be like others, working from sunrise to sunset every day. I think I can do something else." He smiled as he said this, "As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, I want to go out and see the world."

"Have you thought it through?" Yang Ruxin indeed had a newfound respect for this cousin. If he could truly stick to his original intention, then his future might be limitless.

"Yes." Yang Rusong nodded firmly.

"Actually, it’s a good idea." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Going out to experience the warmth and coldness of human relations and see some deceit and trickery can indeed be beneficial for you. But have you thought about it? You’re not physically strong, so how will you ensure your safety out there?"

"I..."

"Don’t end up losing your life while trying to gain experience."

"I want to go out with your transport team." Yang Rusong looked at Yang Ruxin nervously.

Yang Ruxin chuckled: "So that’s your main purpose for coming, huh?"

Yang Rusong scratched his head.

"In the middle of the month, a team will head to Hangcheng, you can go with them then." Yang Ruxin finally nodded, "But it’s very tough, so be prepared for that."

"I’ve been practicing martial arts under Brother Xu, I’m not afraid of hardship."

"That’s good then." Yang Ruxin nodded.

The day after Yang Rusong left, unexpectedly, Feng Caie came by, specifically about her son’s matter, and she started crying as she spoke: "Xinxin, Brother Song is not getting any younger. Since he’s not going for the imperial exams, can’t you persuade him to marry and have children soon?" She wiped her tears, "Now we don’t even know if Brother Bo is alive or dead, we’ll probably never see him again in this life. Brother Huai is still young, we’re relying on Brother Song."

"How can you even say that?" Sitting beside her, Dong Wenxiu became displeased when she heard this, "How did you raise your son? My daughter almost fell ill; what is it now? Are you here to hold us accountable?"

"Sister, I didn’t mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Dong Wenxiu raised her voice, "That’s your son, not mine, do whatever you want, don’t come here crying. Someone, see her out." Her daughter was happily pregnant, and she was annoyed by people who came crying to Xinxin for no reason.

Life is going well, what’s there to cry about? So unlucky.

Yang Ruxin curled her lips, her mother had become quite domineering, not bad!

"Sister-in-law, I really didn’t mean it that way, it’s all my fault." Feng Caie hastily checked her tears, "Sister-in-law, don’t be mad at me, I just felt a little aggrieved for a moment, Brother Song wouldn’t listen to me at all."

Dong Wenxiu turned her head, not bothering to look at her.

"You say he doesn’t listen, do you think he’ll listen to us?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Brother Song is very determined."

"If you don’t agree to let him go with the transport team..."

"Are you blaming me now?" Yang Ruxin’s face darkened, "Feng Caie, if I don’t let him go with the transport team, should I let him go on the road alone? Fine, I’ll refuse him now. If he goes alone and something happens, then it’s his own bad luck."

"No!" Feng Caie quickly stood up, "I wasn’t blaming you, I was just saying it. I’ll leave now."

"Wait!" Yang Ruxin called out to Feng Caie, who was about to leave, "Your words reminded me, I’m taking the risk by letting Yang Rusong go with my team, why should I?"
