Guan Yuxi bought daily necessities and some food for the two of them.
He specially brought Fang Yuan a pot of casserole with meat porridge, saying, "Take good care of yourself for a couple of days, and come stay at my house after you're discharged from the hospital."
Anyway, my house has plenty of rooms, and it's just me and Leng Lie, so it's pretty empty.
Fang Yuan was slightly moved.
Even Dan Baorui looked at her in surprise.
"Brother Lie is away on a business trip. It might not be appropriate for a grown man like him to stay there, right?"
"Or, after he's discharged from the hospital, let him move in with me."
Fang Yuan quickly declined, "No, I'm fine staying at Brother Lie's place."
Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish again.
Only after dying once do people realize how terrible death is.
My stomach hurt so badly, it felt like my soul was being torn apart.
If you asked him to do it again, he might not have the same courage.
Furthermore, it's truly inappropriate that he committed suicide in someone else's home while staying at Leng Lie's house.
"Really, you have to believe me."
I'll apologize to Brother Lie when he gets back.
Fang Yuan was somewhat frustrated. How could he have been so foolish as to do something so stupid?
Guan Yuxi relaxed when she saw that he seemed to have no more suicidal intentions.
She chuckled and said, "It's not entirely your fault, but if you really died like that..."
Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big gift.
"Have a few monks and Taoist priests perform rituals to keep you in a cycle of suicide for the rest of your life!"
Fang Yuan: "......."
"I know I was wrong. Can we please not bring this up again?"
Guan Yuxi casually tossed him a book, "Okay, it's all in English. Translate it for me within three days."
By the way, once you're discharged from the hospital, you'll come live with me in town.
The sugar factory in town has a new imported machine; you'll be responsible for repairing and debugging it for me.
Take these next few days and study it carefully.
Guan Yuxi also bought a two-courtyard house in Shuanghe Town.
It has more than ten rooms, and is even larger than the Leng family's house.
Anyway, she's not short of money right now, and houses are so cheap, so of course she can buy whichever she wants and make herself as comfortable as possible.
When the time comes, Fang Yuan can become sworn brothers with her, and then Fang Yuan can move into her house without any problem.
Besides, the courtyard had two sections; she and Leng Lie lived in the inner courtyard, while Fang Yuan lived in the outer courtyard, which was equivalent to separating them.
I'm not afraid of what people say.
Fang Yuan looked distressed. "Didn't the doctor tell me to rest more?"
Guan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him. "Why rest so much? I think you're just bored and overthinking things!"
If he can't even get enough to eat and is struggling to survive, how could he possibly have the leisure to contemplate suicide?
"Brother Rui, thank you for your hard work."
Guan Yuxi greeted Dan Baorui and then turned to leave.
But after seeing her out, Bao Rui returned and looked at the dazzling array of things on the table, and said enviously, "She's so good to you!"
Fang Yuan took a crunchy bite of the apple, his eyes filled with warning, "Xiao Xi is a simple girl, don't even think about taking advantage of her."
Besides, her grandfather is gone, and resources are dwindling as time goes by.
You better not get any ideas about her, otherwise…”
But Bao Rui ladled the meat porridge from the casserole to him, giving a mocking smile, "You think she's so easy to manipulate?"
If Guan Yuxi were still like before, she could be fooled by a stupid woman like Bai Qin.
He didn't mind taking advantage of the situation.
However, now he dares not entertain that thought anymore.
Otherwise, she would have kicked him far away before his plans even began to emerge.
However, he didn't even fancy that arrogant and foolish girl back then.
***
"Xiaoxi, you, you're back."
Uncle Leng, puffing on his pipe, squatted at the door of Guan Yuxi's house.
His face was haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.
Guan Yuxi invited him in, "Second Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Xiaoxi, I was too ashamed to come see you."
But your second aunt... she hasn't come back for over half a month!
Uncle Leng, clutching his messy hair, said, "And she even brought Chunyan along..."
Guan Yuxi suddenly looked at him.
His large eyes were filled with surprise and worry.
Uncle Leng nodded in shame.
She went without telling me.
That day, she made up an excuse and had a big fight with me, and then she took Chunyan back to her parents' home.
Five days ago, I went to pick her up, but her family said she hadn't gone back at all!
Uncle Leng slapped himself twice. "I thought she was just angry for a moment, so I went to her sister's house and searched for her all the way there."
That's when I realized she hadn't gone anywhere at all. When I got home and checked, I realized something was wrong.
All those rough drafts you asked me to make are gone..."
He slapped himself a few more times and suddenly knelt down.
"Xiaoxi, I beg you, please save your second aunt and Chunyan."
I know she's greedy for money, and it's all her fault.
But the thought of her just disappearing like that makes my heart ache terribly!
Guan Yuxi didn't help him up; instead, she stepped aside.
He was left kneeling alone on the ground.
"Xiaoxi, please!"
I'm kowtowing to you!
"Second Uncle, what are you doing?"
Guan Yuxi roared, "What did I tell you back then?"
She had clearly warned them that those people were not to be trifled with.
But Wen's second aunt still took the items to sell.
If it really was Wen Er Ma who went secretly, would she have let Chun Yan go with her?
