With that thought, Yang Ming stopped crying. He found clean clothes for his wife to change into and also replaced the bedsheets and quilt cover, as the blood from the exorcist’s interference had made her very uncomfortable.
After everything was settled, there was a noisy commotion outside as Xiaoxiao’s family arrived.
Xiaoxiao’s accident was a fatal blow to the Zhong Family. How could their pampered girl, raised by dozens of family members, no longer be okay just four months into her marriage? Could it be that she was mistreated by the Yang Family?
Upon hearing the news, they quickly arranged a carriage and hurried non-stop to Yang Family Village.
When dozens of people arrived, it terrified the Yang Family members.
The union between Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming was indeed peculiar and had happened very quickly, so this was the first time the two families had met.
As soon as Zhong Dalong got off the carriage, he hurried into the courtyard, yelling as he walked, "Where is Yang Ming? Let that lad come out to me."
Seeing this, Old Master Yang hurried forward, "You must be the father-in-law, right?"
"Humph, did that lad bully my little girl, huh?" Zhong Dalong believed his daughter was healthy and without illness. Now that there were reports of her failing health, it must have been the doing of the Yang Family.
Xiaoxiao’s mother immediately intervened, her voice sharp, "Old man, we’ll settle this later. Let’s go see our daughter first."
"Right, see our daughter first. We’ll settle accounts later." Hearing his wife’s reminder, Zhong Dalong ceased his shouting.
"Father-in-law, she’s in this house." Old Master Yang hurriedly led the way.
"Humph, no need for you to show us; we’ll find our own way."
Zhong Dalong with his entire family crowded Yang Ming’s two small rooms to the point where those who couldn’t get in just stood outside in the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, the Yang Family members dared not approach and just watched from the side. Old Master Yang furrowed his brows and quickly asked his son, "Fourth, what is going on?"
"I just notified them to bid farewell to the Third Sister-in-Law, and they all came," Yang Dong said innocently.
"Don’t just stand there foolishly; boil some water and attend to these people."
Hearing Old Master Yang’s order, the family hurried to get busy.
The sudden influx of so many people startled Yang Ming. As he looked up, he saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law, his uncles, and some others he didn’t recognize but who must have been relatives from his wife’s side.
He called out, "Dad, Mom."
Old Master Yang and Xiaoxiao’s mother did not give Yang Ming a kind look, ignoring him completely as they moved to the bedside, lovingly calling, "Daughter, what’s wrong with you?"
The others also surged towards Xiaoxiao, instantly pushing Yang Ming aside.
"Sister, wake up; your brother is here."
"Great-niece, look at your great-aunt."
"Little aunt, little aunt."
Hearing those calls, Yang Ming listened from the side; these were his wife’s relatives, the ones who cherished and loved her.
Wife, do you see? No one wants you to leave.
Seeing Xiaoxiao showing no response, her complexion looking terrible, and her breathing weak, the family grew panicked and their eyes reddened.
It appeared to be true; Xiaoxiao was indeed nearing the end, and cries filled the entire courtyard.
Zhong Dalong, Xiaoxiao’s eldest brother, had eyes red with rage, and he punched Yang Ming while roaring, "Give me back my sister, give back my sister."
Yang Ming did not fight back; he couldn’t fight back, as his wife had indeed met with the mishap under his care.
