However, Yang Xiaochuan remained silent, insisting that he didn’t know.
As Yang Chuxia was about to hit him with the chair in her hands, Ms. Luo quickly cried out, "Xiaxia, your uncle truly didn’t know about this!"
"So, you know?" Yang Chuxia asked, turning to Ms. Luo. Hearing this, Ms. Luo waved her hands hurriedly, "I don’t know, I really don’t."
Noticing Yang Chuxia’s displeasure, she quickly explained, "Truly, I don’t know. Here’s what happened. Your uncle found some medicinal herbs we were planning to sell in the county, but before we even reached there, two men showed up, held a knife to your uncle’s neck, and made him hand over the stuff. Then, they took the stuff and left, giving your uncle a bag of silver in return."
"If that’s the case, why didn’t you return to the village after getting the money?" The more Yang Chuxia heard, the worse she felt. She hadn’t expected her medicinal herbs to get robbed. Who could it be?
Hearing Yang Chuxia’s question, Yang Xiaochuan shouted, "What if we returned and the guy came back for the silver? And besides, don’t you forget there’s bullying from you."
He whispered the last sentence, but Yang Chuxia still heard it.
For some reason, she wanted to laugh when she heard it.
However, she held back and asked, "If that person were standing in front of you now, could you recognize him?"
Yang Xiaochuan shook his head, "He was wearing a mask."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia knew the lead had gone cold. Despite her loathing for Yang Xiaochuan, she couldn’t just kill him off. After all, from their perspective, they hadn’t really done anything wrong.
Seeing Yang Xiaochuan cowering in the corner, she couldn’t help but make a snide remark, "If you had just said all this earlier, wouldn’t it have saved a lot of trouble? But no, you had to get kicked before you told the truth."
As they did not get any useful information, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an prepared to leave. But thinking of Yang Dongxue, she left a warning to the couple before leaving, "Dongxue is a good girl. You better not teach her your bad habits or I’ll make sure to discipline you."
With that, she and Ye Zi’an left.
Ms. Luo and Yang Xiaochuan remained in the house and slumped to the floor, with Luo not caring about dirtying her clothes.
Yang Xiaochuan cursed, "She is a curse! I can’t believe my brother, who is so soft-hearted, could have bred such a menace."
Ms. Luo also slapped her chest, "Isn’t she just a curse! Now that she finally left, my heart can stop pounding. That little girl really hits hard."
Yang Xiaochuan wasn’t done complaining, "That little girl is way too much! She even interferes in how we raise Dongxue. Dongxue is my daughter and I should have the right to do as I please."
But Ms. Luo actually agreed, "Humph, she might be your daughter but she’s also a Yang. And it might not be bad if she interferes, Dongxue might learn a lot from her and even open her own shop to earn money."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaochuan lightened up and said, "Wife, you are absolutely right! And that girl treats all the kids well. Look at Qingbao from the third branch. We should encourage Dongxue to spend more time with them."
"Humph, of course, she should. But you mustn’t teach Dongxue to take things from people, otherwise she’ll be promptly sent back. That girl is very sharp and can guess whatever you are up to."
