"Don’t take them back!" An old woman’s voice suddenly came from outside, "You miserable little bitch, you gave birth to these shameless bastards. Since they were abducted, they should have just died. Why did they come back? They’ve lost the Yang family’s face."
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Chuxia had a feeling that it was Old Lady Hua who had come back. But when she looked up, she saw an old woman who looked nothing like the plump Old Lady Hua. This old woman was thin and short, with an unfriendly face.
Yang Chuxia had no impression of this person, but judging by her scolding, she should know Aunt Caixia.
As soon as she thought this, she saw Aunt Caixia rush in front of the old woman and kowtow, "Mother, where do you want Jinling to go if not home? The child finally returned."
"Hmph, shameless girls like her should just die outside." The old woman snorted and spat at Aunt Caixia, "What a useless thing, you gave birth to four children and all of them are burdens, not even a son. I thought with two burdens gone, we could save some food at home. But no, you brought one back already. And it cost us seven taels of silver? Now you want to bring the other one back? Forget it."
At these words, Yang Chuxia knew that this must be a typical evil mother-in-law of ancient times. She’s probably no better than Old Lady Hua, and Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but feel a bit disgusted.
"Mother, she’s your granddaughter after all. If you don’t let her come home, where shall she go? She’s just come back."
Yang Jinshui also came to his mother’s side and pleaded.
However, the old woman argued, "Unclean and filthy things like her should just die outside."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia noticed that Yang Jinling’s face turned pale instantly.
Aunt Caixia hesitated, but Yang Jinshui argued, "Mother, how could you say that? You scold Jinxiu every day at home, but Jinling hasn’t even come through the door yet, and you’re already starting on her. It was you who told them to sell vegetables every day. Sister-in-law Li even came to our house to say that the town was unsafe and we weren’t allowing our children to sell vegetables, but you insisted on sending the two children."
"Well, Yang Jinshui, you ungrateful thing. Is this blaming me? So, what if I sent them away? Isn’t it just two burdens? It’s not like the house is out of them." When Yang Jinshui began complaining, the old woman also started arguing.
The young woman who helped the old woman in turned to Jinshui and said, "Brother, you’re wrong. Isn’t our mother doing this for the good of our family? Last time you and sister-in-law spent seven taels of silver on Jinxiu, we had to split our family up. Now you want Jinling back too, do you want us to stay home and never go out again?"
Seeing these two people, Yang Chuxia thought of her own parents. The young woman should be Aunt Caixia’s sister-in-law or a relative.
Just by looking at her, she knew that Aunt Caixia’s family was not having a good life at home. Yang Chuxia was not a meddler, but this was her home now.
She couldn’t help but scold loudly, "Who let this noisy brat in? What are you doing in my house?"
The young woman choked on Yang Chuxia’s words, but then turned to Ms. Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, your Xiaxia is really outrageous and disrespectful. No wonder everyone in my family has heard about it. If others didn’t know, they might think all the girls in our village are ."
