"Grandma, are you serious?" Yang Lichun’s eyes lit up immediately, not even thinking about Ye Zi’an anymore.
"Of course it’s true. Would I lie to you?"
The grandma and granddaughter were talking intimately as if nobody else was around, much to the dissatisfaction of the first branch of the family.
Ms.Liu couldn’t take it anymore, "Mother, you’re being so partial! You used to favor my second brother, but at least he was a Cultivated Talent. Now, with second brother in trouble, you’re favoring Lichun. What makes this little girl so special? Why can’t our first branch have something good happening to us? My daughter Qiu’er is two years older than Lichun. I’ve never seen a younger sister getting married before her elder sister does. She’s truly shameless, thinking about men at such a young age."
"Exactly, grandma, why can’t we sisters be the masters in a wealthy family? Why does she get all the good things?"
Yang Ruoqiu and her sister angrily stared at Yang Lichun, as if they wanted to tear her apart.
"Why? Because Chun’er has a prettier face than both of you. Other than having smooth skin, what else do you have? You all have flat noses and small eyes. Even I don’t like looking at you, so how can you expect young masters from wealthy families to like you? I’m afraid you’re worse than their servants." Old Lady Hua really went too far, disparaging her own granddaughters like that. Although what she said was true, she should have shown some mercy in her words.
Now, Yang Lichun was happy, but Ruoqiu and her sister were so upset they started crying loudly.
Their crying upset their doting mother Ms. Liu. She immediately slapped Ms.Ye’s face, who was just beside her, smirking. Seeing her mother get hit, Yang Lichun didn’t think twice and rushed over to help her mother fight Ms. Liu.
Yang Ruoqiu and her sister had long despised Yang Lichun. They wouldn’t have been scolded by Old Lady Hua if it weren’t for her. They immediately started fighting with Yang Lichun.
Old Lady Hua couldn’t stand seeing her most beautiful granddaughter getting beaten. What if these brats hurt her granddaughter’s beautiful face and ruined her chances at a life of wealth and honor?
"Stop it, all of you! Stop!" Unfortunately, no one listened to her, and the fight became even more intense. Old Lady Hua grabbed a mallet from the side and started hitting Ms. Liu with it.
At this point, Ms. Liu couldn’t care less; she was consumed by her rage.
"You biased old woman, how dare you hit me! I’ll fight you to the death!"
Suddenly, Old Yang’s house was in complete chaos, with everyone fighting and tearing at each other. The husband and wife from the fourth branch, who had a young daughter, took this opportunity to quietly take their child and retreat to their room. They didn’t care about the older lady in their house or whether she would be beaten.
Old Yang watched his chaotic family, a look of helplessness flashing in his muddy eyes. He took his pipe and walked out of the principal wife’s room, no longer caring about the commotion inside.
But as he came out, he noticed a small figure under the window outside, listening to the noise inside, and clenching his fists, shouting, "Good fight! Wonderful fight! Keep it up!" Of course, these words were learned from Yang Chuxia.
Old Yang looked at the figure with a dark expression, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was his granddaughter from the third branch. He coughed a couple of times, and Yang Xiayun turned her head around, her big eyes twinkling.
She flashed him a grin, then ran off.
Old Yang was stunned for a moment and then followed her to the third branch’s room.
