When Yang Chuxia heard Ms. Luo say that, she felt upset too. But of course, her anger was not because she had to take care of Old Yang. Instead, she was sad for Old Yang having such a son and daughter-in-law.
Meanwhile, the newly purchased servants were also standing there, and they knew better than to listen to the disputes within the family. As they all had received training, they knew the rules.
So, the older man, whom the others called Uncle Niu, stepped forward and said to Yang Dachuan, "Old Master of Boss, this is none of our business, so we’ll leave first."
Apparently, Yang Dachuan had not yet gotten used to being called "Old Master of Boss," and he looked somewhat dazed.
Upon seeing this, Yang Chuxia looked at Uncle Niu and then told Ms.Wang, "Mother, help them prepare some food first, I guess they haven’t eaten well on their way over."
Then, Yang Chuxia turned to Uncle Niu and said, "You all go eat something first. I will take care of things here and then take you to your living quarters later."
Only after the servants had left did Yang Chuxia turn her attention to Yang Xiaochuan and Ms.Luo. She was about to deal with these two, but they came looking for her first.
"What’s wrong? Fourth Uncle doesn’t want to provide for the elderly?" Yang Chuxia’s chilly voice came, followed by, "In that case, the third branch of the family will take care of him. But the land that belongs to my father and the principal wife’s two rooms must be returned. Oh, and the medical expenses for my father’s treatment after Fourth Uncle pushed him should also be covered by Fourth Aunt."
"No, that’s not happening!" As soon as Yang Chuxia finished speaking, Ms. Luo screamed out loud.
Looking at her like that, Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but think Ms. Luo resembled Old Lady Hua in many ways.
"Not happening?" Yang Chuxia slammed on the table. "What right do you have to refuse? My father was injured because of Fourth Uncle pushing him, which led to the accident during the winter solstice. It’s all because of his conscienceless actions that all this happened, yet you have the nerve to say no? I’m telling you, the medical expenses total one tael and five hundred wen. You better pay every single coin."
Land Officer Yang also chimed in, "That’s right, since Old Fourth pushed him, you all should pay the medical expenses."
"No, this was for Father’s treatment, so it should be shared by the third branch of the family," Ms.Luo argued.
As soon as she said that, Ms.Liu jumped in, "You shameless woman! Dare to involve our first branch family with the money? You caused my Yang Da’an to be frightened, and now you want to use our money?"
Yang Da’an, however, was more honest, "Wife, my father is still here, let’s pay the money since it was for my father’s treatment."
"But..." Ms.Liu was obviously unwilling, mainly because it was Yang Xiaochuan who pushed him. Why should she pay for it?
However, Yang Da’an was firmly holding her back, and she realized arguing now would only hurt Old Yang in front of their eyes, which wouldn’t benefit the first branch family either.
So, Ms.Liu reluctantly shut up.
"Don’t worry, you won’t have to pay for this, I said the fourth branch of the family will pay, and they must!" Yang Chuxia glanced at the first branch family members and then continued to glare at Ms.Luo, "Don’t sidetrack the issue, one tael and five hundred wen are just for the medical expenses. I didn’t even mention the money for my father’s recovery."
"Hurry up and go home to get the money, or else...I will search your house like I did with Ms.Hua Junior’s. And if I have to do that, I’ll find much more than just one tael and five hundred wen." After saying this, Yang Chuxia threatened Ms.Luo once more.
