After handing over the young man to Mu’s Clinic, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an returned and didn’t go to the County Magistrate’s place, but went straight back to their shop.
After arriving at the shop, they called out Yang Dachuan and headed straight back to the town. Once they were in the town, she first went to the school and found her two younger brothers. She immediately arranged for them to withdraw from the school.
The speed of this process surprised the brothers’ teachers. Yang Chuxia didn’t keep it a secret, and she shared what had happened in the county town. This left the teachers astonished, but they also understood Yang Chuxia’s actions. The Dean was good in every aspect, but he was excessively protective of his daughter.
"Thank goodness you’re back!" When they returned to Yangshu Village, Ms. Wang was relieved to see Yang Chuxia return safely. Although Fugui had relayed the message, she was still worried without seeing her with her own eyes.
"Mom, I’m fine. How could anything happen to me?"
"That’s right, my daughter couldn’t have any problems," Ms. Wang said repeatedly, and then instructed, "Xiu’er, quickly fetch a brazier so Xiaxia can drive away any bad luck."
Yang Chuxia watched Ms. Wang, who was stopping her, with a wry smile. It seemed like she wouldn’t be allowed to enter the house without stepping over the brazier.
Feeling helpless, she waited for Xiu’er to bring the brazier and stepped over it before the matter was considered resolved.
"Mom, has Lu Lichun and her family returned?" Ms. Wang hesitated for a moment before realizing she was referring to Yang Lichun, then replied, "They came back this morning, but not long after arriving home, someone from the town came looking for them."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia knew that Ye Zi’an’s words were about to come true.
The Dean probably instructed Yang Qingwen’s family to withdraw the lawsuit. If the complainants were unwilling to investigate, even the County Magistrate couldn’t do anything about it.
However, she would absolutely not let them off so easily!
"Sister, what happened?" Yang Qingrui and his brother were still in the dark about the situation at home.
Seeing their mother’s display and their sister’s talk, they felt like there was a big issue they didn’t know about.
Yang Chuxia glanced at both her brothers, "Come on, let’s talk inside."
Once they were inside, Yang Chuxia explained, "The dean’s daughter from your school is infatuated with Brother Zi’an, and I ended up being her rival. Yesterday, she and Lu Lichun’s family tried to take me to jail, but they got themselves caught instead. I was afraid that the dean would make things difficult for you two, so I brought you back first. In a few days, I’ll go to the county town and ask the Lord County Magistrate to help you two study in the county."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qingrui didn’t have any objections, as studying anywhere would be the same for him. Yang Qingtong also didn’t have any objection; in fact, he felt more relaxed. He would no longer have to deal with that annoying and whiny classmate every day.
"Such a vicious heart this young lady has!" Ms. Wang exclaimed after learning about the entire situation.
Yang Chuxia laughed at this comment.
The incident of Ye’s family accusing Yang Chuxia had spread throughout the village. The village was small, so once one person knew, everyone knew. With Auntie Li’s deliberate promotion, everyone learned about the news. For a while, Auntie Li gloated over the fact that Yang Chuxia had been caught.
However, seeing Yang Chuxia return unharmed, Auntie Li felt somewhat regretful.
Of course, most of the people in the village had a strong sense of right and wrong. Seeing her return, people visited her house for two consecutive days to express their condolences or ask if there was anything they could help with.
In contrast, Ye’s family’s place was particularly deserted.
