She wondered how her mother could join forces with Yang Chuxia to harm her third aunt. Even for the sake of money, it should not be like this. It turned out it was all for that shameless old man.
When Ms. Hua Junior returned to her parentsâ home, her mother had been beaten by her father to the point where her nose and eyes were indistinguishable. Her father was determined to divorce her mother.
It took her quite some time, working together with her siblings-in-law and brothers, to persuade her father to give up the idea.
When she returned to Yangshu Village, she heard about the affairs between her step-brother and Yang Chuxia, and also heard that the Yang Familyâs third branch intended to finalize their marriage the following year.
It annoyed her. Thinking of her own two sonsâone of whom hadnât even seen the shadow of a girl yet, and the other engaging in dangerous activitiesâwhat right did this little bastard have to get engaged first?
The more Ms. Hua Junior thought about it, the more she couldnât stand it. She didnât even care about how powerful Yang Chuxia was. Early in the morning, she planned to make a scene at Ye Ziâanâs house, but unfortunately, he wasnât home.
So she decided to wait until Ye Ziâan got back to his house before making her move. However, she spotted him and Yang Chuxia carrying wooden buckets to the beach, and she quietly followed them, wanting to see what they were up to.
When the two stopped, she secretly sneaked around to hide.
Normally, given Yang Chuxiaâs alertness, it would be impossible for her to be eavesdropped on by Ms. Hua Junior.
But who knew that she had never had a romance in her previous life? When she started falling in love, her heart raced, and her mind was somewhat distracted, making her less wary. This allowed Ms. Hua Junior to hear her entire conversation with Ye Ziâan.
"Humph, itâs all because of you, you little troublemaker, youâre nothing but trouble," Ms. Hua Junior thought of her motherâs condition. Although her mother had brought it upon herself, it wouldnât have been like this if it werenât for this little troublemaker.
Upon hearing her words, Yang Chuxia became furious. She wanted to curse right back but was held back by Ye Ziâan.
Disgusted by Ms. Hua Junior, Ye Ziâan said, "Stop accusing others of causing trouble. If your mother hadnât done such dirty things, no one could have used it against her. As for my affairs, Iâve told you before that they are none of your concern. Donât think of yourself as my mother all the time, itâs nauseating. And donât insult Xiaxia all the time. If I hear it again, I wonât be afraid of others accusing me of being unfilial."
"You little bastard, you..." Ms. Hua Junior didnât finish her sentence when Yang Chuxia emerged from behind Ye Ziâan.
Swiftly moving in front of Ms. Hua Junior, Yang Chuxia slapped her without hesitation. Brother An was a boy and would always suffer against this wicked woman, but she wasnât afraid. Moreover, she wouldnât allow this vile woman to continue insulting Brother An.
"Iâm warning you, stop going on about âlittle bastardâ this and that. Arenât your two sons even worse? Do they know who their father is?" Yang Chuxia pushed Ms. Hua Junior with force. She pushed a bit too hard, causing Ms. Hua Junior to fall to the ground.
Yang Chuxia then leaned down, speaking in a low voice, "You better not make any trouble for Brother An ever again. Otherwise, youâll end up like your aunt. Look around, weâre in the middle of nowhere. If I did something to you right now, nobody would know, right?"
Hearing Yang Chuxiaâs words, Ms. Hua Junior looked around and felt a sudden fear. Although this little girl was young, Ms. Hua Junior knew she couldnât win against her in a fight, especially with Ye Ziâan around. That little bastard might be lame, but when it came to fighting, her two sons together never stood a chance against him.
