But upon closer inspection, she realized that three of the five people were people she knew!
The two brothers, Bai Guangrong and Bai Guangyao, are from my maternal uncle's family!
Bai Yongkang from my third maternal uncle's family!
The five people were overjoyed and delighted to see her open her eyes!
"Little sister, you're awake!"
"Little sister, are you thirsty?"
"Little sister, are you hungry?"
"Were you cold yesterday? Did any mosquitoes bite you?"
"Little sister, how come you're so beautiful?"
"younger sister……"
Lin Ru reached out and pushed the five faces aside!
He interrupted them coldly!
"Stop! What are you guys doing here? Do you know how scary it is to open your eyes and see five people staring at you from above? If I didn't know you guys, I would have punched you all away already!"
Bai Guangrong smiled sheepishly.
"Little sister! We're so sorry! We just missed you so much! We wanted to see when you'd wake up!"
"Oh, right!"
"These two people next to me are from my second uncle's family! They were studying in the city last time, so they didn't come back!"
“One of them is named Bai Mingkuai! He's 15 years old and is also your cousin!”
"And Bai Mingle! He's the same age as you! I don't know if he's your older cousin or your younger cousin!"
Bai Mingle immediately replied, "Of course it's my cousin! My birthday is really big! It's on the second day of the Lunar New Year! Cousin, when is your birthday?"
Lin Ru sat up and rubbed her head!
July 18th!
Bai Mingle cheered immediately upon hearing this!
"See, I told you I was the older brother!"
"Cousin! Cousin! Sister! Sister!"
"I actually have a little sister! A sweet and soft little sister! I'm finally not the youngest in the Bai family anymore!"
As the eldest grandson of the Bai family, Bai Guangrong proudly puffed out his chest!
"I am still the head of the Bai family! You will never surpass me!"
"By the way! Mingle! You just saw your three younger brothers, why don't you seem this happy?"
"You're so happy to see your sister! I'm her favorite person! Don't even think about making a move on her!"
Bai Yongkang and Bai Guangyao both retorted indignantly!
"You're talking nonsense! My sister clearly likes me the most!"
Bai Guangrong angrily rolled up his sleeves and pointed at his two younger brothers!
"If you're not happy, let's fight!"
Bai Guangyao: "Let's fight then! Who's afraid of who!"
Then the group went to the side to fight!
This reversal left Lin Ru speechless!
She turned her head blankly and saw her four uncles looking at her with big, warm smiles!
Lin Ru pointed in the direction of her cousins!
"Uncle! Aren't you going to do anything about them doing this?!"
Bai Jian burst into laughter!
"It's alright, Ru'er! They're always like this; whenever a few of them get together, they'll start a fight. Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
After saying that, he gave his younger brothers a slightly provocative look!
It means: See, I told you Ru'er would call me first!
Bai Qiang: Childish!
Bai Yong and Bai Gan were so envious they gritted their teeth!
But he didn't dare to argue with his older brother, for fear of getting beaten up!
Seeing that even their own father wasn't worried, Lin Ru naturally wouldn't care too much either. She had just lifted the covers to get up and put on her coat when she saw her four uncles rush over and surround her!
They had their backs to Lin Ru, but you could already feel the aura emanating from them that kept strangers at bay!
Lin Ru was speechless. Like father, like son! She had only taken off her outer garment, but she was wearing several layers of clothing underneath. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?
But her uncles showed her through their actions that it was worth it!
Only after Lin Ru put on her clothes and shoes did her uncles leave as if nothing had happened, as if it had just been her hallucination!
Lin Ru looked at their very uncomfortable backs and found it a little funny!
If her outer garment hadn't been so dirty, and she hadn't been afraid of soiling her newly bought quilt, she definitely wouldn't have bothered to take it off!
By the time she finished tidying up, all the food was ready!
Rong Peiyu carried a bowl of hot noodles and placed it in front of Lin Ru first!
"My precious granddaughter! Eat more! There's more over there! If you're not full, be sure to tell your grandma!"
Lin Ru looked at the noodles handed to her, then looked up and smiled at Rong Peiyu. Then she noticed that her maternal grandfather was looking at his maternal grandmother with a pitiful expression for some reason!
And he followed his grandmother wherever she went!
Judging from her grandmother's disgusted look, she seemed extremely annoyed!
Actually, when he came back last night, his daughters-in-law mysteriously told his sons about Rong Peiyu's illness!
Then he overheard it and realized that his wife had been suffering so much in silence. He felt both heartache and guilt!
He truly couldn't imagine how he would live without his old wife! So, early that morning, he chased away his son, who was fawning over Rong Peiyu, and went to fawn over her himself!
This really left Rong Peiyu both amused and exasperated!
Breakfast was hot noodles!
Everyone held an egg, except Lin Ru, who had three eggs under her bowl!
After finishing the hot noodles, Bai Chengye pulled her aside to discuss the distribution of the horses!
Lin Ru thought he had finished distributing the spoils yesterday, but he didn't expect him to say that these were the spoils she and her men had fought so hard to obtain, and that he had no right to distribute them to her!
Lin Ru smiled!
"Grandfather! You're joking! We're all family, so you can naturally speak for me!"
"If you really want me to help with the allocation, then I can only offer one suggestion! Keep these horses for our family, and keep four for everyone to use!"
"Then give one horse to each of Diao Yan and Xue Bao's families! The rest will be for the village! The village will distribute them to the families most severely harmed by the bandits, as well as to the elderly, widowed, and infirm!"
What do you think of this allocation?
Bai Chengye nodded!
"That's fine, but I'm worried that some of them will get some and some won't, and they might complain!"
Lin Ru sneered: "Tell me if anyone has any complaints! I have ways to deal with them!"
Bai Chengye felt that his granddaughter was really reliable, so he nodded happily and ran off to distribute the horses!
Lin Ru then summoned everyone from the Bai family!
"Now we need to speed things up! Check your homes for any strips of cloth and wrap them around your calves!"
"Don't wrap it too tightly, but don't wrap it too loosely either, just like I do!"
She picked up a strip of cloth, lifted her skirt, and carefully wrapped it around her calves, round and round!
"Like this! This not only effectively prevents leg soreness, but also prevents snakes, insects, and rodents from crawling into paths through woods and bushes!"
As soon as Lin Ru finished wrapping the cloth, she looked up and saw a crowd gathered around her! Besides her own family, there were also some villagers!
As soon as I saw her raise her head, I quickly scattered and went to tie my calves!
Rong Peiyu and the others had all witnessed Lin Ru's abilities yesterday, so they were completely convinced!
But Bai Qiang's wife, Tao, who prided herself on coming from a scholarly family, scoffed at the act of publicly lifting her skirt and tying strips of cloth to her legs!
Of course, they didn't do it!
Lin Ru didn't think anything of it, but Rong Peiyu was clearly unhappy with the somewhat disdainful look in her second daughter-in-law's eyes!
Her daughter-in-law is incredibly sour and pedantic! Before, because Bai Wanrong eloped with someone, she insisted on divorcing Bai Qiang! Otherwise, she would separate from the Bai family!
In the end, it was Rong Peiyu who felt sorry for her two grandsons, fearing that they would lose their mother at such a young age and have difficulty finding wives later. That's why she let Bai Qiang move to the city. Although it wasn't a formal separation of the family, it was almost the same as it. Only then was Tao Shi satisfied!
Lin Ru could tell that this person had definitely gone mad from reading too much, so she didn't bother arguing with him. Besides, it wasn't something he absolutely had to do! Everyone has their own desires!
She patted Rong Peiyu on the shoulder, smiled, and shook her head.
And just then, what Bai Chengye feared happened!
Some people are clamoring to divide the horses!
