Yang Anshi saw that everyone had stopped talking and knew that her words had reached their hearts. After all, if the village produced a Scholar, the entire village would bask in glory. She immediately grew bolder, sat down on the ground, and began to slap her thigh and lament, "We can’t let the whole family be ruined because of such an inauspicious woman, can we? Ancestors, you have families too. If your sons were all harmed like this, could you still say that we are wrong?" And with a slap on her thigh, "Boss, you died so unjustly... Wait for me, I will bash my head and find you right now..." Saying this, she got up to hit the wall.
But she was quickly held back by the combined strength of Yang Baichuan and Yang Baifu.
However, Yang Anshi then burst into loud tears as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The great-uncles frowned, but were helpless. Yang Anshi was definitely someone determined enough to go to extremes, and it seemed that Yang Peili also wouldn’t change his mind. Finally, they could only sigh, "This is your family matter, and we shouldn’t say too much. But now that Dani refuses to divide the property, do you really want to drive them out?"
"What do you mean she disagrees? Why shouldn’t she?" Yang Anshi instantly stood up, "Eating and drinking for free every day, and now demanding three to five taels of silver each month. She says no and that’s it? Is she trying to drive the two of us old folks to our deaths?"
"Exactly," Yang Baifu urgently added, "Dani, you can’t be so selfish. It’s better to divide the property now. In the future, if your sisters need anything, I, as their uncle, can also help out..."
"Yes, Dani, your auntie is begging you," Feng Caie suddenly rushed in and knelt down, "If we don’t divide the property, there’ll be no silver at home to help Rusong take the Scholar and Imperial examinations. Please, let our family go..."
Yang Ruxin sneered. Feng Caie was not stupid, knowing that she couldn’t sell herself out, and now she wanted to push the big room out of the picture. But Ruxin quickly jumped to the side, showing a look of terror, "Auntie, are you trying to cut my life short..."
"Dani, even your grandma is kneeling for you," Yang Anshi’s eyes turned, and she too started to kneel.
"Fine, I agree to the division," Yang Ruxin shouted urgently, then looked up with tears on her face, "I don’t know what the people of our big room have done wrong to be treated like this..." She glanced at everyone present, "Although I don’t want to divide the family, auntie and grandma have both knelt down. If I don’t agree now, I’m afraid I’ll face divine retribution..."
If they wanted to play the emotional card, she could too.
Sanni started crying even more strenuously.
The great-uncles couldn’t help but sigh, unsure of what to do.
"Thank you, Dani," Feng Caie immediately smiled, "Your auntie will remember your kindness. Rest assured, as long as Rusong becomes a Scholar, and later an Imperial Scholar, I will definitely support you..."
Yang Ruxin didn’t say anything. She couldn’t even be bothered to listen to such empty promises.
"Since Dani has agreed, let’s divide the property," Yang Anshi stood up instantly, patted off the dust on her clothes, and her face was tearless, "It’s good to clear things up in front of everyone. We won’t have to bother in the future."
