Yang Xiayun didn’t understand much, but she knew they were going for fun and clapped her hands, also clamoring to go.
Eventually, Yang Dachuan and Ms. Wang couldn’t resist the children’s enthusiasm and set off to the town together as a family. Before leaving, Yang Chuxia imitated Ms. Luo’s triumphant smile towards her.
Hmph, wanting to drag her father to help with work? Not a chance!
When the third branch of the Yang Family left, the courtyard suddenly became gloomy and lifeless.
Ms. Luo saw her mother-in-law’s sulking face and didn’t dare to speak. However, Ms. Liu and Yang Da’an did. Ms. Liu jabbed her husband’s waist and hinted at him.
Yang Da’an first shrank back but eventually, unable to withstand his wife’s jabbing, he thickened his skin and approached, "Mom, could you give me some money too? Otherwise, when I go to town, I won’t even have a copper coin to buy a vegetable bun. It’s so humiliating."
"Money, money, money! That’s all you know! Don’t think I don’t know how many copper coins your stinky wife has hidden in her pants!"
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Ms. Liu’s face flushed red. She never expected Old Lady Hua to expose her secret publicly and even reveal where she hid the money. That old lady really pissed her off.
"Wow, sister-in-law, you’re really good at hiding money! Aren’t you afraid it will get in the way when you sleep?" Yang Xiaochuan smirked with a wretched face, eyeing Ms. Liu’s chubby white face. Somehow, he imagined her plump body, thinking how comfortable it must be to snuggle against her like a cotton pillow. As Yang Xiaochuan swallowed his saliva, perhaps too loudly, Yang Da’an heard it, and he saw Fourth staring at his wife with that kind of gaze. He lunged at him, and the two instantly started grappling and fighting.
"You little bastard! Where are you looking? I’ll kill you, believe it or not!"
It’s undeniable that the most cowardly men will also explode when it comes to issues of dignity, like the always meek and bully-wary Yang Da’an, who’d become furious at this point.
Seeing her two sons fighting at the front door, Old Lady Hua got angry and grabbed a broom, hitting the two of them. Finally, the two were separated, and she threw away the broom and left.
When she reached a field of reeds behind the village, Old Lady Hua looked around and saw no one. She quickly sneaked in.
"You finally came. I’ve been waiting for ages!" As soon as Old Lady Hua stepped in, a muscular man immediately came forward and hugged her. If Yang Chuxia were here, she’d recognize that this man was none other than Burly Lu, the village’s idler.
"It’s all because of those troublemakers at home, giving me a headache."
"Where does it hurt? Let me massage it for you!" As Burly Lu said this, he started to touch her.
Soon, some discordant sounds came from the reed field. After some entanglement, Old Lady Hua did not hurry to tidy her clothes but eagerly asked Burly Lu, "How is the thing I asked you to do coming along?"
"Don’t worry, as long as that little girl goes to Wangquan Town, I guarantee the next time you see her, she’ll be pulling customers outside Hongcui Pavilion."
