Yang Chuxiaâs mouth opened into an O shape upon hearing the words, astonished by the familyâs audacity and their incomprehensible logic.
"Then what exactly happened to my great-grandma?"
"She was pushed by Ms. Liu Junior and just happened to hit the corner of the table."
Speaking of the Liu Family, Ms. Wang found them intolerable, believing they were behind all good and evil, bringing nothing but misfortune to both the Yang Family and the Ye Family.
"Tomorrow I will go to see my great-grandma. After all, she was injured because of me."
If she hadnât allowed Ye Yi to hit Ms. Liu Juniorâs brother, he probably wouldnât have taken his anger out on Yang Dayong.
"You canât take all the blame for this." Yang Dachuan obviously supported his daughter, "Iâve heard all about it, and it wasnât you who started this trouble. Besides, even if you asked someone to beat them, it was they who sought revenge on you. Whatâs the sense in him hitting Dayong? Itâs utterly unreasonable. We must not get involved with such a family."
"Mm, I understand, Dad."

The next day
After breakfast and feeding two buns, Yang Chuxia picked out some medicinal herbs from the storeroom and took them to Land Officer Yangâs house.
The one who came to open the door happened to be Ms. Liu Junior, who looked a bit cold upon seeing her.
Alright, Ms. Liu Junior knew deep down that the Ye Family was not to blame, but thinking about the harsh words Yang Chuxia said yesterday, she felt blocked up and disrespected, as if her family had been dragged through the mud.
Seeing that Ms. Liu Junior was not in a good mood, Yang Chuxia didnât care; she didnât like Ms. Liu Junior either.
Without greeting her, she went straight into the house to where Land Officerâs wife was.
Land Officerâs wife had already awakened and even tried to sit up when she saw Yang Chuxia coming.
"No, no, please donât move," Yang Chuxia hurriedly stepped forward to support Land Officerâs wife, "Great-grandma, how are you feeling?"
After all, Land Officerâs wife was of an advanced age and somewhat weak.
"Iâm fine, Iâm in good health, just bleeding a little."
"Iâm so sorry, great-grandma, itâs all my fault, otherwise you wouldnât have been hurt."
As soon as the incident was mentioned, Land Officerâs wife showed a look of gloom, "Donât blame yourself, why blame you? Iâve never seen a suitor who canât be shaken off even after being turned down, as if clinging like a bloodsucker. Itâs all the Liu Familyâs fault, that damned old woman pushed me and even hit your Uncle Dayong. Iâm so mad I could die. What is this nonsense, taking it out on Dayong for no reason? My Dayong doesnât owe the Liu Family anything!"
Ms. Liu Junior, overhearing her mother-in-law, was infuriated. Indeed, her family members were to blame for yesterdayâs incident, but being chastised in front of an outsider, couldnât she have left her with some dignity? What she didnât know was that Land Officerâs wife really despised her at the moment, wishing her son would divorce her immediately.
However, the next words from Land Officerâs wife left her even more infuriated.
"Xiaxia, let me tell you, you must never marry into a family like that, itâs just a mess, totally unreasonable."
Yang Chuxia couldnât help but feel a mix of laughter and sorrow, and she glanced at Ms. Liu Junior, who was turning green with anger.
After leaving Land Officerâs wifeâs room, she went to see Yang Dayong, who had suffered only superficial skin injuries and would recover in a few days.
When she got home, Ye Yi, who had been sent to gather information, had already returned.
"How did it go? Was it the Liu Family spreading the rumors?"
Ye Yi nodded, his mouth twitching slightly, "Yes, it was the Liu Familyâs eldest daughter-in-law who spoke about it in front of the villagers."
