"Young Master, I will check right away!" Anan quickly left.
At this moment, Yang Yichen calmed down, frowning in thought: "What happened to Qingxi while I was away? Why were they driven out?"
This question lingered in his mind, refusing to fade.
An hour later, Anan returned: "Young Master, I found out that the Wang family wanted to sell Qingyan, which caused a commotion in their household. In the end, Qingyan developed many red spots on his body. The Wang family used this as an excuse to drive both of them out!"
"Where are they staying now?"
"Young Master, just like Qingxi, the village chief helped arrange for them to stay in the useless Broken Courtyard on the West Side of the Village. Young Master, should we help them?"
"Let's go home first!" Yang Yichen coughed twice and got up to leave.
Since returning from the countryside, Yang Yichen had not had a moment's peace. Today he went out to the tavern to relax and happened to encounter Liu Qingxi, but after running around a bit, he was somewhat out of breath.
As soon as he entered the house, the Wen Family hurried over to support Yang Yichen: "Yichan, what's wrong? Didn't you go to the tavern? Why do you look like this?"
"Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry. I just walked a bit too fast earlier; I'll be alright!" Yang Yichen raised his pale face to reassure the Wen Family.
Indeed, his body was not well; just walking a few more steps made him easily fatigued.
"You really need to take better care of yourself!" Yang Yichen suppressed his discomfort and said to Wen Family: "By the way, Mother, let's go back to the countryside; it's quieter there!"
Wen Family rubbed her tired eyes: "I'll listen to you. It's so noisy at home; staying here isn't good for your health. Yichan, you must take good care of yourself!"
"Mother, I know. I just got a bit tired from going out today; there's no need to worry. I will study hard and come back with a degree!" Yang Yichen looked at his mother’s increasingly weary figure.
Thinking about how unreliable his father had been over the years, the disputes in the backyard, and his mother's difficult situation, he felt that his frail body could not help much. But now that he had grown up, he could approach things from other angles.
"Alright, I don't expect you to be wealthy, just as long as you are safe!" Wen Family looked affectionately at Yang Yichen, then turned to Anan, "Quickly accompany the young master back to rest!"
"Yes, Madam, I will take good care of the young master!"
Watching Yang Yichen's slowly departing figure, Wen Family's loving face instantly turned cold: "Anything that belongs to my son will never be taken by others!"
This is the gentle and kind Wen Family, who after enduring many hardships, has come to realize that mere cowardice will not earn anyone's sympathy.
Only by becoming strong and holding the power of the household can one command respect.
What Wen Family does not know is that their son still harbors the same thoughts: "Even if my health is poor, I will protect my mother and ensure she lives a peaceful and happy life!"
In this treacherous Wen Family mansion, everyone wears a mask; every smile and every expression could be a disguise.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Yichen appreciates Liu Qingxi's authenticity and enjoys the simple happiness of playing with her and her brother.
At the same time, Liu Qingxi, carrying her purchases, arrived at Ten Li Pu.
As soon as she entered the village, she encountered passing villagers. Liu Qingxi smiled and greeted them: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, are you busy?"
"Ah? Uh, yes!" The woman looked flustered, responding perfunctorily before hurriedly running away.
As she walked further, she met two elderly men: "Hello, Grandpa!"
"Ha ha, hello! Bought something? Hurry back home!" The old man’s muscles twitched slightly as he forced a smile.
The villagers' unwelcome attitude was palpable to the siblings. Liu Qingyan asked, "Sister, why does everyone seem unwilling to talk to us?"
They had not been like this before; they used to respond kindly. Today was clearly different from usual.
"It's nothing; perhaps everyone is just busy. Let's hurry home!"
As Liu Qingxi's voice faded, the discussions from behind began to emerge.
"Hey, why are you talking to those siblings? They must be sick!"
"Exactly, we all heard it. That one has a rash, oh dear, that's a deadly illness. We shouldn't be talking to them."
"If it weren't for the village chief keeping them here, we definitely wouldn't let them stay in Village. If we get infected, it would be serious!"
An old man beside them tapped his pipe on a stone: "Who are you all listening to?"
"Who else? Many people saw it yesterday, and today their Aunt Wang is here in Village. How could that be fake?"
"Alright, I didn't say much either. Just told them to hurry home; if they were sensible, they shouldn't come out anymore!" The speaker was the old man from earlier.
Liu Qingxi listened silently to the crowd's chatter.
Whether or not she was truly sick was something she had already decided in her heart. Once the red spots on Liu Qingyan faded, everyone would know it wasn't real; there was no need to care about others' opinions.
In difficult times, those who extend a helping hand are the true friends.
"Sister, am I not going to survive? Everyone thinks so!" Liu Qingxi didn't mind; she had endured such gazes too many times, but Liu Qingyan was different.
At seven years old, perhaps because Liu Laosan and the Wen Family had protected him too well, his world was very simple.
"That's not true at all! It's not real. Your rash will go away soon. Tonight, I'll warm some water for you to take a bath; you'll be fine quickly!"
Actually, only Liu Qingxi knew what was happening; it was all due to the effects of the plant juice she had used.
"Trust your sister; nothing will happen. You're not sick at all. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
"No!" Liu Qingyan replied with wide-open eyes.
"That's right, if you're not feeling unwell, then your body must be fine. Don't worry! You still don't believe me?"
"I believe you, Sister Yan!" Liu Qingyan instantly felt happy after being comforted by Liu Qingxi.
"Come on, let's go home. I'll make you something delicious. This is our first meal together!"
Liu Qingyan eagerly pulled Kid along as they walked ahead. Halfway home, she suddenly felt excited about putting all these things in their warm home.
As for the gossip from others, they brushed it aside.
However, aside from the villagers who looked down on them, there were others who noticed them from a distance: "How come these two kids bought so many things? And a pot too; that's not cheap!"
"Yeah, how could they have money? That Wang family is no good."
"Maybe this Liu Qingxi is capable. Look at that girl; she was kicked out yesterday and today she's out buying things."
"Forget it, forget it. Why bother with so much? It has nothing to do with us."
The villagers' gazes lingered on the siblings when suddenly a voice came from behind them: "What are you two doing?"
