"Yang Baozi, are you going to drown me in a pond? You heartless bastard, I at least gave birth to a son for you. You heartless bastard..."
"Mom, am I really my dad’s son?" Old Lady Hua was crying sadly, but Yang Xiaochuan couldn’t care less about that and directly asked about his own concerns.
Old Lady Hua paused, and when she realized what Yang Xiaochuan meant, she let out a loud roar, "You heartless scoundrel, just like your father, you both want to drive me to death. I went through so much pain to give birth to you, hoping you would bring in some silver, but not even a fart! You’re as useless as Yang Baozi, if I had known earlier, I should’ve drowned you in the chamber pot back then."
Yang Xiaochuan didn’t care about what Old Lady Hua scolded him at this moment. Hearing her words, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as I am my father’s son, it’s good. I don’t want to be driven out of Yangshu Village."
The originally serious and heavy ancestral hall was suddenly filled with laughter by Yang Xiaochuan’s words.
Yang Chuxia was also amused. He didn’t expect that his Fourth Uncle had some humorous potential. However, he was too selfish, not concerned about his mother’s life or death, only worried about whether he was a seed of the Yang Family and whether he would be driven out of Yangshu Village.
After all, Yang Da’an still had some human touch and cared about his mother.
"Dad, you can’t drown mom in the pond. She isn’t good and she has wronged you and the Yang Family, but it’s not a capital crime. Please, just divorce her, but don’t drown her in the pond. Dad, I beg you."
Yang Da’an knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to Old Yang. This made Yang Chuxia look at him in a new light, as Yang Da’an seemed to have some humanity left in him.
Yang Da’an knelt on the ground, pounding his chest in frustration, while Ms.Liu watched anxiously. What was her husband doing at a time ? If he angered his father, they might all be driven out of the house and forced to face the freezing winds of the northwest.
Ms.Liu tried to pull Yang Da’an up, but he stubbornly remained kneeling, causing her to punch him in anger.
"You big fool, that woman has already cheated on you one time after another, almost killing your father and now trying to kill your stepfather, and you still want to plead her case? Are you stupid or just heartless? Did she ever think about you being her son when she did these things? Get up!"
"But no matter how bad she is, she’s still my mother..." Yang Da’an yelled.
"Enough! Stop talking. I’ve already made my decision. She can’t be allowed to continue causing harm to others. Tomorrow, I’ll drown her at the nearby beach."
"Grandpa, can you choose another place to drown her?" If there is a death at the beach, how could they go there to pick up seafood in the future?
Yang Chuxia didn’t realize that her idea was also quite extreme at the moment.
Old Yang ignored her and walked away with a wave of his hand.
As for Old Yang’s decision, everyone except Yang Da’an had no objection. After Old Yang left, Land Officer Yang ordered Old Lady Hua to be locked up in the ancestral hall and arranged for several people to guard it.
On the way home, Ye Zi’an asked, "What did you say to your grandpa? How did he suddenly change his mind?"
Yang Chuxia shrugged and spread her hands, "I didn’t say anything. It’s really not my fault that the old devotee is going to be drowned. My grandpa went to cry at my grandma’s grave, then said he would drown her in a pond, and I just followed him back."
"Really didn’t say anything?" Ye Zi’an was a bit incredulous. Old Yang was such a stubborn man, how could he suddenly change?
