"Third, are you really going to let her be so domineering?" Old Lady Hua seemed to have learned her lesson, knowing that she couldn’t outtalk Yang Chuxia, and started to avoid Yang Chuxia, only speaking to Yang Dachuan.
Since the family split, Yang Dachuan had rarely faced Old Lady Hua , and for a moment he didn’t know how to talk to her. And with so many things happening in the family, it seemed difficult for him to call her ’Mother’ now.
Yang Chuxia naturally saw Yang Dachuan’s dilemma and said, "Dad, you and mom go ahead, the aunts are busy over there, and someone needs to greet them. We can’t afford to delay."
Upon hearing the family’s urgent matter, Yang Dachuan couldn’t concern himself with anything else. He quickly told Old Lady Hua, "I have to go for some family matters," and left her standing there dumbfounded. He also dragged Ms. Wang with him.
Ms. Wang glanced at her daughter and saw Yang Chuxia waving at her, so she followed Yang Dachuan.
At this point, only Old Lady Hua and Yang Chuxia were left in the room, and these two were like sharp needles clashing, each trying to get rid of the other.
Yang Chuxia thought about the thief last night, and how the courtyard door had been opened by the thief when he left, as well as the slightly familiar voice she had heard. She walked up to Old Lady Hua.
Looking at the plump white woman in front of her, she smacked her lips and said, "Look at you, all white and tender, not looking like an old woman at all. No wonder you can still charm old men at your age. You think just because he got away, this matter is settled, and then I won’t have anything on you, and you can show off again?"
"You insolent girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, Old Lady Hua was startled and thought, did this wicked girl know that the man last night was summoned by her? But how could that be possible? Not to mention the man wasn’t caught, he never even showed his face.
"Not admitting it?" Yang Chuxia smiled coldly, "Heh, last night that courtyard door was opened by you, wasn’t it? The thief didn’t climb over the wall, did he? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have missed the noise. And his voice sounded very familiar."
"You, you, I don’t know what you’re talking about." Old Lady Hua was clearly guilty and turned to run out of the third branch of the family.
Watching her leave, Yang Chuxia didn’t stop her. Thinking about today’s good day, she happily locked her door, went to the principal wife’s house to call Old Yang, and then the grandfather and granddaughter went to the bridal chamber one after another.
After she left, Yang Lichun snorted, "It’s just two shabby rooms, look how smug she is."
"Your family doesn’t even have those two shabby rooms." Yang Ruoqiu rolled her eyes in response.
"Hmph, who wants those two shabby rooms? When I marry into a rich family, what kind of mansion won’t I have? Then we’ll see how she kneels before me and begs me." Yang Lichun proudly tossed her head. Hmph, her mom had said that when she turned thirteen next year, she would be sent to a rich family, that rich family from the prefecture no less. Then she would show Yang Chuxia.
When Yang Lichun mentioned this, that only made Yang Ruoqiu and her sister even more envious. It was just that she looked a little better, so why did she have to be so smug?
Yang Ruoqiu was two years older and a little steadier, but Yang Dongzhi, being younger, wasn’t as good in temperament and held a lot of resentment toward Yang Lichun on a daily basis.
Moreover, after Old Lady Hua mocked the sisters for not being as good-looking as Yang Lichun last time and not allowing them to go to a wealthy family, Yang Dongzhi had been thoroughly disgusted with Yang Lichun’s face.
