Ye Zi’an was very smart. He knew that since he couldn’t kick everyone out at once, he couldn’t break things off completely with the Ye family. There were only distant relatives in his family, no direct kin, so if he got into trouble in the future, none of them would help him. But, Ms. Hua Junior was different with her own family supporting her. If she were pushed to desperation, he alone would not be able to deal with the Hua Family’s ruffians. Being able to recover some of his father’s belongings and kick out Ye Ziping today was already a good result. He would take things slowly when he got the chance in the future. In any case, he would not let Ms. Hua Junior off easily.
"No, you’re a cursed person. How can you have anything to do with Ye Family’s belongings? When they fall into your hands, they’ll be cursed. I am your father’s wife, so his possessions should be guarded by me!" Ms. Hua Junior was anxious when she heard Ye Zi’an still wanted the Ye Family’s belongings. This was unacceptable, as those lands and houses belonged to her son, why should they belong to this bastard?
"Holy crap!" Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but curse, "Ms. Hua Junior, do you have any shame? Are all the women in the Hua family shameless?" Yang Chuxia couldn’t hold it in any longer, and her mouth started babbling, "I’ve never met someone so shameless as you are. Those lands and houses were left by Brother An’s father for Brother An. What right do your two burden kids have to inherit them? Damn, not to mention your burdens, just you, a widow, do you have the nerve to say others bring bad luck? You yourself took the lives of two men. How dare you say others bring bad luck? I’m yet to see someone more cursed than you. Ye family’s things, in your hands, are cursed. Don’t make any excuses, you just want to claim those things for your son, right? In fact, I now feel that your son’s theft charge doesn’t even compare to your cursed title."
After saying this, she turned to Ye Zi’an and blinked, "Just report it to the officials. There’s no need for compensation or trying to drive someone out of the village. Once you report it, they’ll all be arrested. When that happens, won’t those lands and houses still be yours? As for the reputation of passing the imperial exam, when they’re all in jail, whether it’s a good or bad reputation, isn’t it all up to you to say?"
Hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, Ms. Hua Junior was suddenly stunned.
Ye Zi’an was also stunned for a moment, before nodding in agreement, "You’re right. Let’s file a lawsuit with the authorities, then."
Land Officer Yang exclaimed, "Brother An, think it through. Even if you don’t consider the reputation, Ms. Hua Junior is still your stepmother, and Ziping is like your older brother. Filing a lawsuit against them would be like suing your elders, and you’ll need to endure 30 heavy blows first."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes and thought to herself, ’Grandpa Land Officer, couldn’t you just pretend not to know these rules? They just wanted to scare Ms. Hua Junior, not really sue her.’
"It’s fine, Grandpa Land Officer. I can withstand the 30 blows," Ye Zi’an said calmly. After all, he was a man and had some physical strength. Just because he had bad legs didn’t mean his body was weak; he could bear this pain.
Upon hearing Land Officer Yang’s words, Ms. Hua Junior was initially quite pleased, not believing Ye Zi’an would actually sue. Those 30 heavy blows weren’t easy for an ordinary person to endure.
But who would have thought that Ye Zi’an would actually agree, like it was no big deal!
Ms. Hua Junior’s eyes widened, and she cried and cursed, "Ye Zi’an, you little bastard, you’re just unfilial, even suing your own brother!"
