"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh. This little brother was so clever that it made her want to laugh. Even though he spoke of something that should have made her angry, it just sounded a bit funny coming out of his mouth.
However, thinking that they would give up on reporting the crime was just a ridiculous daydream. And what about Yang Lichun? Was she asking for a beating? What reason was there to discuss? She would just beat her first to save face.
Yang Chuxia didn’t bother finding anything else, just bending down to take off her own shoes, charged up to Yang Lichun’s face and slapped her several times with the shoes. That once jade-like face was immediately old and bruised.
Yang Lichun’s cheeks turned red in an instant.
"I’ve always thought that you and your father are both brain-damaged fools. How dare you hit my sister? You slapped Yunyun once, so I’ll slap you ten times in return." Then there was another round of slapping sounds.
The pain was so intense that Yang Lichun couldn’t even respond with a curse. It was Ms. Ye who cursed a few times, but she was too timid. And because Ms. Wang was holding a knife, she couldn’t bring herself to step forward and help Yang Lichun.
Old Lady Hua cursed angrily, "Look at you, you coward! What kind of sin did I commit to have Second marry someone like you? They’re beating your daughter and you don’t even try to do something?"
"Heh, Second sister-in-law cares too much about her status as a Cultivated Talent’s wife," said Ms. Liu, annoyed, rolling her eyes at Ms. Ye. Ms. Ye was only good at talking and not doing anything.
Sure enough, Ms. Ye cried out, "My goodness, with the head of the family locked up in jail, instead of begging people to let him go, we’re here fighting and shouting. What good does it do? Old Lady, if you’re so capable, go ahead and fight yourself instead of ordering others. And sister-in-law, what are you so happy about? You must be thrilled with Second being arrested, I know you’re jealous that I live in town everyday and envy that my husband is a Cultivated Talent. But don’t forget that we’re family, and we haven’t split our property yet."
Then, Ms. Ye paused for a moment before adding, "With Second in jail, if his Cultivated Talent status becomes nullified, our family will lose a large sum of silver and rice. Old Lady, do you even know how to do the math?"
Old Lady Hua was so angry that she was unable to catch her breath.
"Second sister-in-law, our mother’s health isn’t good, and if you make her sick with anger, who’s going to handle Second’s matter?" Ms. Liu, unwilling to be outdone, retorted angrily.
"Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t act doesn’t concern you. Let me tell you, you won’t escape this either. Everyone in our family was involved in this, so why should my husband take all the blame? Mother, you’re in charge here, tell us, is it better for Second to be arrested or for Big Brother to take his place?"
From the side, as Yang Chuxia listened, she realized more and more that Ms. Ye was quite scheming. Although she was timid, her plotting was not small. It seemed as if she was trying to encourage Old Lady Hua to let Yang Da’an take the blame and get Yang Xiao’an back?
Unfortunately, that stupid Ms. Liu didn’t even understand such obvious words.
Yang Chuxia glanced at Old Lady Hua and found that she was also looking at her. Of course, the look in her eyes wasn’t any kind of benevolent one.
Facing Old Lady Hua’s gaze, Yang Chuxia showed nothing but disdain, which caused Old Lady Hua to be stunned once again.
"What will it take for you to let go of your Second Uncle and cousin?" Old Lady Hua stared intently, "Don’t forget that Brother An is an outsider. Your Second Uncle and you are the real family."
