Then she picked up a bamboo stick from one side and began to rain blows on him. Yang Xiaochuan avoided her hits, while Ms.Luo tried to pull her away. But she was so furious that she didn’t care who gets in her way, anyone blocking her was a target. After some time, she realized that the hands of Ms. Liu and Ms. Luo were covered in red marks.
"I always said this rotten girl deserved to be killed, with no respect for elders in her heart." Yang Xiaochuan, who had been kicked and beaten, spoke up in frustrated anger.
"Shut your mouth!" Snapped Land Officer Yang upon hearing this. "As an elder, constantly threatening to beat and kill the younger ones, and you still think they should respect you? Get out of my sight. Say one more word, and I’ll let Xiaxia beat you up."
At these words, Yang Xiaochuan clamped his mouth shut. Though resentful, he was fearful of losing face to a true beating, so he warily retreated to one side.
Land Officer Yang then turned to Yang Chuxia. "Xiaxia, how is Brother An doing?"
"When I came back, he had just woken up. The doctor said we’ll have to see whether there’s any infection in the next few days."
"Sigh, I hope the boy will be alright. Bosheng has only him as his biological son." Upon hearing this, Land Officer Yang sighed and reassured her, "Don’t worry, I will stand up for him."
Yang Chuxia gave him an indifferent look and said, "Thank you, but it won’t be necessary this time because... " After scanning the members of the Old Yang Family and noticing that the people from the second branch of family were no longer in their clan’s house, she met Old Lady Hua’s gaze, and announced word by word, "I have reported to the authorities. By now, the bailiffs are probably arresting them. This time, Yang Qingwen won’t be able to escape, neither will Yang Xiao’an!"
Seeing a hint of fear arising in Old Lady Hua’s eyes, she continued, "One for suspected murder and the other for leading the murder. When they arrest Yang Xiao’an and his son, they might even come for you, his accomplices."
On hearing that Yang Chuxia had reported to the authorities, Land Officer Yang and everyone else was taken aback.
"Xiaxia!" Land Officer Yang voiced his concern. "Given your status, reporting to the authorities... Those thirty major floggings might be... "
Before Land Officer Yang finished speaking, Yang Chuxia interrupted him, "Uncle, the severity of the thirty major floggings is up to the bailiffs, right? Besides, I reported the incident in Brother An’s name."
"You beast! He is your second uncle and your cousin. You report him to the authorities for an outsider; you are just asking for death." Upon hearing that Yang Chuxia had reported to the authorities, Old Lady Hua burst out in rage and began to curse without any restraint.
How could she report it? Her son, her cultivated talent son, if he is found guilty, how will he become a scholar? How can she become a respected elderly lady?
"Pah, a family of brutal hybrids worthy of being called by me as second uncle? It’s so ridiculous that even you mentioned it. My mouth feels dirty. On the other hand, Yang Chuxia coldly huffed, "You can stop your bitching, but anyway, I have lodged the complaint against your son and grandson. Look forward to seeing them put into jail."
"You... you slut!" Old Lady Hua was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She wanted to curse at Yang Dachuan, but he was not around. She wanted to curse at Ms.Wang, but she saw Ms.Wang glaring at her, ready to rush forward and have another fight. Helplessly, Old Lady Hua turned her gaze on Old Yang, cowering to one side, and screamed, "You old fart, are you just going to let this little slut lodge the complaint?"
