Ms. Wang woke up later than Yang Chuxia, and she had been in a panic, not even caring about her belongings.
Yang Chuxia continued, "Nothing’s missing. That person had just pushed the door open and didn’t even manage to step inside before I knocked him down with a shovel."
Upon hearing that nothing was missing, Land Officer Yang nodded his head. But when his gaze swept over the people from Old Yang’s family, he instantly became furious.
"Look at you all, living in the same courtyard; you can’t even come out and help when you hear a commotion? When it’s time to share the silver, you remember you’re brothers, but when trouble happens, where the hell is everyone? Shameful!"
After Land Officer Yang finished speaking, he scolded Yang Da’an and Yang Xiaochuan, and then scolded Old Yang too, "And you, what kind of people have you been raising? Not a single one of them has a conscience. Your older and younger uncles have been teaching them in vain for all these years. Don’t ever mention that you and Third Brother are related; it’s too disgraceful!" At the end of his rant, he directed his spearhead back at the two brothers.
Old Yang was really wronged by Land Officer Yang’s words since he had actually rushed out as soon as he heard the noise. But Old Yang had always been a man of few words, so he wouldn’t bother to explain himself even if he was misunderstood.
Surprisingly, Yang Qingbao actually defended his father, "It wasn’t my dad’s fault, grandma wouldn’t let him go out. And grandpa did help."
Hearing what Yang Qingbao said, Yang Xiaochuan immediately added, "That’s right, it was mom who stopped him."
Both of them blamed Old Lady Hua for not allowing them to help, which enraged her.
At this point, it should be mentioned that there are children who betray their parents in all generations. This time, Yang Xiaochuan had dug a hole for his mother.
When Yang Chuxia heard what Yang Qingbao said, she was also surprised, wondering if something good could finally come out of all the bad things.
The crowd that hadn’t dispersed yet, upon hearing Yang Qingbao’s words, looked at Old Lady Hua with even more contempt. The villagers were already unhappy with Old Lady Hua due to various matters, and this only reinforced their prejudice against her.
Furious, Land Officer Yang said, "I’ve always known you’re a wicked woman, but I never knew you could be so heartless. Dachuan isn’t your son, right? Fine, from now on, Da’an and Xiao’an shall no longer bear the surname Yang. Yang Baozi, give this old bitch a divorce letter and let her pack up and get lost with her stuff. Our Old Yang Family doesn’t have such heartless people, and in the entire Yangshu Village, there isn’t anyone else but these two aunt and niece." Here, he was referring to Old Lady Hua and Ms. Hua Junior.
Upon hearing Land Officer Yang’s words, Yang Chuxia’s heart skipped a few beats. She had to admit that she was really fond of this grandfather. This made her even more determined to show him respect in the future.
However, she knew it wasn’t possible to divorce Old Lady Hua at this time. But there was no rush, it wouldn’t be long before she would have to be divorced, whether she liked it or not.
As expected, before Old Yang could even speak, Yang Xiaochuan and Yang Da’an disagreed.
"Uncle, you can’t! My mom’s already old; if she gets divorced at this age, how can she continue to live?"
"That’s right, uncle, our family’s children are about to get married, and if their grandmother gets divorced, how can our children ever get married?" Like Ms. Liu, Yang Da’an loved his children very much and always put his kids first in many situations.
However, to Yang Chuxia’s ears, these words were especially amusing - they were even ashamed of getting divorced. What would their expressions be if they found out that Old Lady Hua was fooling around with an old bachelor in the village? Thinking about it made her laugh out loud.
As soon as Old Lady Hua heard Yang Chuxia’s laughter, she knew what the girl was laughing about, and she became furious. On the other hand, Yang Chuxia grinned widely, revealing a row of shiny teeth in the moonlight.
