"Pfft..." Upon hearing Yang Chuxia’s scathing comments, Ms. Liu almost spat out her porridge. "Ha ha, Xiaxia has a point, mom. You really can’t be too biased, look at my sister-in-law from the second branch of family and her daughter, Li Chun, then look at me, your daughter-in-law. Oh, we really can’t compete with them. You can’t use our family’s money to raise a lady-like Old Master."
Arrgh, she had long held a grudge against that **** from the second branch of family, what’s her deal? Her eyes always looking down at her from the top of her head. Who gave her the right to look down on her, did she think she was more noble than others?
"Did you hear that, grandmother? If our family is running out of money, we better have my uncle and aunt from the second branch of family come back. If not, then quickly give our granddaughter some silver coins. Why would one family even differentiate between rich and poor? You have to know that all the food and drink in this house are basically provided by my father, it’s unreasonable that as his daughter, I can’t spend the money he earns. Instead, relatives so far removed are fattened."
Old Lady Hua was so annoyed that she had to lean back, her good mood from the early morning was completely ruined.
But when she glanced at Yang Chuxia’s distinctive face, and remembered the matter she discussed with that old devil, she swallowed her annoyance and took out a string of copper coins from her sleeve, probably a few dozen, and threw them to Yang Chuxia.
"Is that all?" Yang Chuxia picked them up and looked, dissatisfied she said, "Grandmother, are you trying to brush off a beggar?"
"If you want it, take it, if not, give it back. There’s no more." Old Lady Hua was unwilling to part with any more coins, she felt awful having given out even this small amount.
"Alright, alright Xiaxia, this is enough, enough!"
Yang Chuxia wanted to squeeze out a bit more money. Still, before she could, Ms. Wang quickly stepped forward and persistently pulled at her, preventing her from asking for more. Seeing this, Yang Chuxia had no choice but to roll her eyes, pocketed the money, and thought to herself about taking the opportunity to ask for more next time. Anyway, if she didn’t, it would just end up with the other branches of family. Her aim was to get as much money as possible before the family split.
Still, next time she’d have to speak clearly with her timid parents, they didn’t dare stand up to Old Lady Hua, she didn’t blame them. After being oppressed for so long, changes wouldn’t happen overnight. But could they at least not hinder her when she was fighting?
"Let’s go, big brother, have you finished eating? Once you’re done, let’s head to town." Yang Chuxia beckoned to Yang Qingrui, glanced at Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan, and thought of Ms. Luo and Yang Xiaochuan, and then said, "Mom, Dad, today is the Sea God Festival, and we don’t have any important matters at home anyway, let’s all go to the town together."
"Mom won’t be going, you siblings can go. Xiaochuan and Qingtong are still small, it’s better if they stay at home."
"Dad won’t be going either." Yang Dachuan thought about it, he might as well go with Fourth to the field to break the ground. An extra pair of hands is always faster.
But Yang Chuxia wasn’t oblivious to the intentions of this couple, she voiced out, "That’s not acceptable, Mom, Dad. Since it’s the Sea God Festival and crowded, aren’t you afraid of any bad people abducting us siblings if you don’t come?"
Yang Dachuan, an honest man, was caught off guard, "That won’t do, then you two better not go."
Yang Chuxia almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Yang Qingrui tactfully stepped forward, pulling Yang Dachuan and begging, "Dad, please come with us, I’ve never seen the Sea God Festival before. Dad, please take us siblings to have a look."
At the same time, Yang Qingtong also took the opportunity to tug at Ms. Wang, "Mom, I also want to go, I want to go too."
