"What did you say? Uncle Four found something I was looking for?" Yang Chuxia didn’t immediately recall what Yang Qingbao was talking about.
Yang Qingbao took a deep breath before saying, "Didn’t you draw that weird grass on paper and ask everyone to help you find it? Uncle Four found it!"
As soon as Yang Qingbao finished speaking, Yang Chuxia was gone.
As she rushed to the old house, she couldn’t help but complain in her heart, "Damn it, is the God playing with me? Why did it have to be Yang Xiaochuan to find it? Don’t I know what kind of person he is?"
Sure enough, when she arrived at the old house, she noticed a crowd gathered nearby but didn’t hear the voices of Yang Xiaochuan and his wife.
"Hey Xiaxia, I heard your Uncle Four found the thing you were looking for." Aunt Caixia told her when she saw Yang Chuxia approaching.
Although Yang Chuxia was anxious to confirm if the thing was her sought-after Tian Nan Star, and even felt a fire burning inside, she still showed indifference on her face.
"Really? I wonder if it’s actually what I was looking for, or if Uncle Four just picked something to fool me."
At this moment, Ms. Liu came out of the yard and told Yang Chuxia, "Xiaxia, it shouldn’t be a lie. Uncle Cai just came to confirm the thing."
"Really?" Yang Chuxia pushed through the crowd and went into the old house’s courtyard, only to find the door of Yang Xiaochuan’s house locked.
Locked? Wasn’t he supposed to be waiting for her to come asking for it so that he could extort her? Why did he lock the door and run away ?
Yang Chuxia still couldn’t believe it, and asked Ms. Liu with her head tilted, "Auntie Liu, what’s going on with my Uncle Four’s house?"
Ms. Liu helplessly pursed her lips and said, "Your Uncle Four and Auntie took their things and went to your Auntie’s parents’ house with little Dongxue, saying they wanted to stay there for a few days."
Aunt Caixia added, "What staying for a few days? They’re just afraid that Xiaxia will come to ask for the thing."
Ms. Liu thought for a moment and whispered to Yang Chuxia, "Xiaxia, I think your Uncle Four is afraid of you. He must want to exchange the herbal medicine for some silver but is afraid that you won’t agree and will forcefully take it, so he ran away."
Well, it had to be said that Ms. Liu was spot on. But the problem was that she shouldn’t have said it out loud. Although Yang Chuxia would take extreme measures, she would only do so after employing an appeasement policy.
With narrowed eyes, Yang Chuxia thought that at this point, no one could stand in her way of getting the medicine to treat Brother An’s leg, not even the young master of the Mu Family, let alone Yang Xiaochuan.
She coldly snorted, "It’s alright, let them go. In a few days, they’ll have to come back and face me obediently."
While talking, Yang Chuxia made a gesture as if she was getting ready for a fight, startling Ms. Liu so much that she took a step back, not being able to help herself feeling sorry for Yang Xiaochuan and his wife.
When Yang Chuxia left the courtyard, some older villagers who hadn’t left gathered nearby to talk. Seeing her coming out, they asked, "Xiaxia, when will your Uncle Four come back?"
Yang Chuxia glared at them and retorted, "You all were watching when my Uncle Four left, and you don’t know when he’ll come back. How am I supposed to know when he’ll come back without seeing them?" She then coldly snorted and added, "If he has the guts, he should never come back."
The person who asked the question was left speechless by Yang Chuxia’s response and didn’t say anything else.
After Yang Chuxia left, someone teased the person who had asked the question, "You really can’t talk, you know Xiaxia has a sharp tongue, and yet you still added fuel to the fire."
The person sullenly hmphed, "She has no manners."
