Feng Caie felt alarmed at once.

"Someone, go call Yang Rusong." Yang Ruxin instructed, "Have him write a guarantee that no matter what happens on the road, he won’t blame it on me."

"Xinxin!" Feng Caie became really anxious when she heard this. Her eldest son already resented them, and if he found out she came to see Yang Ruxin without permission, wouldn’t that distance him even more from the family? She couldn’t let her son come, "I was wrong, don’t call him. He doesn’t know I came to see you."

Yang Ruxin remained unmoved.

Yang Rusong arrived quickly, and he brought a written guarantee with him: "I didn’t think it through before. Here’s my guarantee. Cousin, I’ll take responsibility for my own decisions."

In the end, Feng Caie left in disgrace, following behind her eldest son. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In the middle of the month, Yang Rusong left without looking back, accompanying the transport team, embarking on a different Chapter of his life.

Meanwhile, the matchmaking for Ma Laiwang by Zhao Xinghua had made progress, and Luo Qiaoqiao agreed.

"Xinxin, you say Ma Laiwang can get a wife, why can’t my Tie Dan?" Zhao Xinghua sighed, "I wonder if I’ll ever get to hold grandchildren in my lifetime."

"You’re just overthinking." Dong Wenxiu glanced at Zhao Xinghua, "It’s all about timing, worrying won’t help."

"That’s what everyone says, so I guess I have to think that way too." Zhao Xinghua sighed, then smiled, "But I think I’ve done a good deed. Those two are a good match, but Qiaoqiao said you, Xinxin, need to decide this."

"Alright." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Have the Ma Family send someone over to propose." Luo Qiaoqiao is capable, and Luo Da and Luo Er were a big help too. Dao Xuzi developed the drug to resist the Medicinal Soldiers by studying their blood. Now she’s acting as family, as she should, and she’ll even help prepare a dowry.

The Ma Family.

"What? That Luo Qiaoqiao?" Ma Dishi was not pleased to hear it, "She’s an outsider with no family of her own. Her father and uncle are both sickly, and her two younger brothers are a burden. I don’t agree."

Ma Laiwang frowned at his mother, "You disagree? Do you want your son to remain a bachelor? Do you really want the Ma Family line to end?"

"How, how is that possible?" Ma Dishi was startled by her son’s expression and shrank back, "Just need to find someone better, right? There are so many good girls around Yang Ruxin, why can’t we choose a different one? I heard she gives those girls quite a substantial dowry. I think the girl who used to always be with her, Chai Qin, is not bad. She’s good-looking and without burdens, and she can serve us as soon as she enters the door, right, her father?" she said, turning to Ma Qiang.

"Heh heh." Ma Laiwang sneered, "Mother, you really dare to say these things."

"I’m your mother, why shouldn’t I dare?" Ma Dishi glared, "You unfilial son, what? Already despising your mother before you even have a wife? Let me tell you..."

"Just shut up." Ma Qiang suddenly shouted at his wife, "Keep talking, and see if I won’t hit you?"

Ma Qiang was not a man of many words. He knew well what kind of person his wife was. He had tried to talk to her reasonably, but that didn’t work, so he had to shout, which wasn’t very effective either. In the end, he resorted to hitting, after all, she bore him a son, he couldn’t just abandon her. They had to make do, anyway, a couple of slaps would calm things down for a while.
