Seeing the strange looks in everyone’s eyes, she forcefully tugged at her mother. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? She’s my aunt!" She wondered if her mother’s brain had gone bad. No matter how terrible her aunt was, she was still a member of the Hua Family. No one in their family should be exposing each other’s shortcomings . At this moment, Ms. Hua Junior still didn’t know that it was thanks to Ms. Lv of Hua Family that Old Lady Hua was captured.
"Pah! What aunt? Our Hua family has never had someone like her who steers her own boat in broad daylight. She can’t come back to Hua Village even if she’s divorced today. I’m afraid she’ll corrupt my granddaughters." Ms. Lv of Hua Family spoke uprightly with righteous indignation, but Yang Chuxia, who knew the truth, couldn’t help but want to laugh.
"Brother-in-law, you cannot keep such a despicable woman. It would be a disaster if you keep her."
Land Officer Yang also seized the opportunity to speak, "Do you hear that? Even her own sister-in-law speaks this way. Clearly, she’s no good –are you still going to keep her? I absolutely disagree! Either divorce her today, or you all get the hell out!"
Upon hearing that they would be driven out of the village, Yang Xiaochuan immediately became angry, no longer worrying about whose child he was.
"Dad, I really don’t want to recognize such a mother. You’d better listen to Uncle’s advice." He didn’t want to leave the village and become a wanderer.
Yang Da’an also chimed in, "Dad, you’ve raised me my whole life, and you’re my real father. But after what she’s done, she no longer resembles a mother. If she remains in our home, Qiu’er and the others will grow up under her influence. How can we arrange marriages for them with such a grandmother?"
Facing everyone’s coercion in the room, Old Yang looked around, then shouted, "In any case, she cannot be divorced!"
He stormed out of the ancestral hall, and Yang Chuxia, who had been watching coldly, quietly said a word to Brother An, then followed him out.
She trailed him and found herself in front of a tombstone where she saw Old Yang hugging the grave and crying bitterly.
Yang Chuxia watched from a distance, frowning. Her grandfather was really acting out of character. Whose grave was this? Why was he crying here? Was it her biological grandmother’s grave? Was he torn between feeling attached to Old Lady Hua and feeling guilty towards her maternal grandmother?
Considering the current situation, it was hard to believe he could still be attached to a woman like Old Lady Hua who ran around like a loose cannon. What on earth was he thinking?
Yang Chuxia kept watching until Old Yang stopped crying, then she approached.
"Grandfather, that thieving old lady shouldn’t stay in our Yang family."
"..." Old Yang didn’t speak.
Yang Chuxia continued, "Grandfather, if you don’t want to divorce her, I can only go back and persuade my Great-uncle and the elders to have her drowned in the pond. There’s a huge difference between being divorced and drowning. Divorce is a loss of face, but at least she’d still be alive... "
"Drown in the pond?" Before Yang Chuxia could finish speaking, Old Yang suddenly interrupted, "Drown in the pond? Yes, that’s right! Drown in the pond! Drowning is fair and reasonable; once she’s dead, she can’t cause any more trouble. She must be drowned in the pond!"
Without waiting for Yang Chuxia to react, Old Yang wiped away his tears, got up from the ground, and ran back towards the village.
Yang Chuxia stared in shock at everything that had just happened. What the hell was going on? Why couldn’t she understand?
Whatever, she decided to head back to the ancestral hall first!
Upon returning to the ancestral hall, she saw Old Yang shouting loudly, "Divorce? I’m going to have her drowned in the pond! Let that wicked woman be gone and die a clean death, so she can’t harm anyone else!"
The abrupt change in Old Yang’s attitude shocked everyone present.
The gag had somehow fallen from Old Lady Hua’s mouth, and she stared blankly at Old Yang, not expecting to die. She didn’t want to die.
