However, this couldn’t be kept from the old Yang family members who lived in the same courtyard. They all wondered how the third branch of the family had become so wealthy lately, seeing carts of goods being brought home as if it didn’t cost a thing. They wondered how much all of this had cost.
However, even though they were curious, none of them dared to ask a question.
As for Yang Lichun, ever since she had been chased away by Yang Chuxia last time, she had been silent for two days. Now, she saw Ye Zi’an and shamelessly approached him like a fly.
"Brother An, have you returned?" Yang Lichun happily asked.
However, Ye Zi’an completely ignored her. Unfazed, she went up and grabbed Brother An’s sleeve and then glanced at the carriage that had not left yet, saying, "Brother An, did you walk back? I think Xiaxia has a hard heart. She knew you were in town and that your legs and feet weren’t good, but she rented a carriage without giving you a ride. If it were me, I wouldn’t do that."
Yang Chuxia paid the coachman and walked in, just in time to hear Yang Lichun’s words, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Then, Ye Zi’an impatiently pulled his sleeve away and said indifferently, "Xiaxia wouldn’t take the initiative to grab a man’s sleeve like you either."
"Pffft" After Ye Zi’an’s words, Yang Chuxia’s laughter grew even louder.
This made Yang Lichun very unhappy, but she didn’t dare to say anything for fear of being beaten. She just stared at Yang Chuxia with her eyes wide open.
"Don’t stare at me with those dead fish eyes," Yang Chuxia disdainfully glanced at her and continued, "Didn’t I explain it to you before? Before you set your sights on Brother An at least let your father and brothers not harbor such disgusting thoughts. Do you think Brother An would be blind enough to fancy you? Get lost and don’t hang around my doorway. You can’t possibly expect me to invite you to dinner, can you?"
She didn’t know why, but seeing Yang Lichun’s submissive wife demeanor, grabbing Brother An’s sleeve, just made her so unhappy.
"Tsk, second sister, why are some people so fickle? Just a few days ago she was thinking of marrying into a wealthy family to become a lady, and now she’s changed her mind?" Yang Ruoqiu and Yang Dongzhi, who had just returned from their grandmother’s house, also saw Yang Chuxia buying a carriage full of things and the beautiful cotton cloth.
The two sisters felt all sorts of envy, jealousy, and resentment in their hearts. However, they also couldn’t stand Yang Lichun’s behavior. In the past, they were stepped on by Yang Lichun. Now, their second uncle was in jail, and there was no more Cultivated Talent in the family, they didn’t need to give in to her. Especially considering how they had been looked down on and bullied by Yang Lichun before, they wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to take revenge now.
"Elder sister, we really can’t blame her for being shameless. In comparison to wealth and fortune, what is shamelessness? In the past, she relied on her father being a Cultivated Talent and believed she could marry well, much better than us sisters. Now that her father is no longer a Cultivated Talent, those good families don’t look up to her, so naturally her eyes have changed. Just look, Brother An is handsome and has a good job, and a small savings at home, so why not latch onto him?" Yang Dongzhi glared at Yang Lichun, then continued, "But she doesn’t even consider what she’s worth. Her own brother crippled a person and left him bedridden, and she still has the nerve to cling onto him. Even if he’s blind, he wouldn’t be interested in someone like you. What if your father or mother sneak into his room at night while he’s asleep and stab him again?"
