"Mom, youāve been staying in our village for some time now and havenāt gone back home. Arenāt you afraid that my sisters-in-law will take this opportunity to take things back to their parentsā home?"
Ms.Hua Junior said this, but Ms.Lv of Hua Family was only thinking about the remaining few hundred Wen coins, not paying attention to anything else.
"That damn little girl dared to deceive me." Yang Chuxia only gave her one hundred Wen the other day when she was promised to have a tael of silver. Now there were still nine hundred Wen left. How many pounds of meat could that buy?
"Mom, what are you talking about? Who deceived you?" Ms.Lv of Hua Family noticed her mother was always angry since she returned, and didnāt understand what her mother said. She couldnāt help but ask.
"Itās that little girl, Yang Chuxia. She promised me a tael of silver if I helped her catch my nieceās affair. Now she refuses to give me the remaining nine hundred Wen." Ms.Lv of Hua Family didnāt mention Old Sunās matter, only talking about her cooperation with Yang Chuxia.
Ms.Hua Junior was stunned by her motherās words. She didnāt know what to say. Her mother had sold out her cousin for just one tael of silver?
"Mom, my dear mom, how could you not even have a sense of family relations? Sheās your niece, do you know how serious it is to catch someone in an affair? Now my aunt has been caught and thrown into the pond. Youād better think about how to explain it to my dad. You canāt hide this, the whole village saw you identifying my aunt."
Ms.Hua Junior couldnāt help but complain after thinking about it, "How could you trust that little girl? She is very close to that bastard Ye Ziāan. How could she really cooperate with you and give you silver? Are you dreaming?"
Ms.Hua Junior was really fed up with her mother, "Mom, youād better go home as soon as possible. If you stay in my house for a few more days, donāt sell me out too."
Ms.Lv of Hua Family, who was furious, saw her own daughter not comforting her but instead urging her to go home. Suddenly she vented all her anger on Ms.Hua Junior, scolding her harshly before picking up her belongings and leaving. She even said she would no longer consider her a daughter and would never set foot in their house again.
Ms.Hua Junior thought to herself, itās a blessing if you donāt come.
However, when Ms.Lv of Hua Family left, Ms.Hua Junior thought of her eldest son she had seen recently. She felt a little nervous and worried that he would catch some bad habits. She had to be cautious, or else she and her mother would end up being driven out of the village just like her aunt.
Meanwhile, Yang Chuxia threatened Ms.Lv of Hua Family and then went straight to the field. Yang Dachuan was cutting grass with a sickle there.
"Dad, letās take a break. I brought food for you. Letās eat and then continue working."
"Okay, letās eat." Yang Dachuan agreed, putting down his sickle, washing his hands, and then sitting down on the field ridge.
"Dad, Iāve talked to Grandpa about it. After the autumn harvest in the village, weāll hire people to help us clear the land. Weāll work slowly these days, thereās no rush."
Yang Dachuan nodded, "Alright, you can take charge of this."
"Dad, are you upset because of Grandmaās affair?" Yang Chuxia knew that Yang Dachuanās mood was quite low these days and asked cautiously.
Yang Dachuan was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Dad is not sad because of her, but because I feel sorry for you. Youāre so young and have to go through so much. They always hurt you, and Dad doesnāt even know the reason, let alone protect you. I feel sad when I think about it, as well as for your mother. She has such a strong character, but she has endured and suffered so much for me over the years. Sheās changed, and I feel sorry for her and all of you."
