11: Chapter 11: Die Farther Away_1 11: Chapter 11: Die Farther Away_1 Yang Anshi suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.
Yang Peili frowned and glared at Yang Anshi.
âNow, my motherâs head is so hot it burns to the touch, and sheâs talking nonsenseâŠâ Ruxin, crying, actually shed real tears, smearing them all over Yang Peiliâs trouser legs, âIf we donât call a doctor soon, my mother will truly dieâŠâ
âIf sheâs going to die, let her die far away from here.
I donât have any Silver to waste on you allâŠâ Yang Anshiâs guilt was fleeting, and with a wave of her arm, she continued, âAll you ever think about is how to be lazy and swindle money.
What sin did my family commit to be plagued by such a scourgeâŠâ Anyway, that Xu was bought, and those who are bought are no different from animals.
If sheâs beaten to death, sheâs beaten to death.
Yang Peiliâs expression twisted with conflict because he also didnât care in the least whether his bought eldest daughter-in-law lived or died, especially since his eldest son was no longer alive and the children were all grown up.
However, at that moment, he was so rattled by Ruxinâs stare that he could not utter a single word.
âFather, I beg you to save mother, sheâs really dyingâŠâ Sanni also threw herself forward at this moment, crying with snot and tears streaming down.
âIf sheâs going to die, let her die far away.â Yang Anshi shouted again, âDonât bring bad luck here.â
âGrandma.â Ruxin had stopped crying by then and, raising her hand, wiped away her tears, âIf my mother really dies, itâll be as if she were beaten to death.
Sheâll become a vengeful ghost, and besides, if word gets out that a mother-in-law beat her daughter-in-law to deathâŠâ
âWhat are you saying?â Yang Peili immediately glared at Yang Anshi, âHurry up and get the money.â
âWhy should IâŠâ
âBecause she is a member of the Yang FamilyâŠâ Yang Peili raised his voice suddenly, thinking to himself what a fool she was.
Even if despised, she couldnât just ignore Mrs.
Xuâs plight.
Moreover, Dani was right; public knowledge of this incident would harm the reputation of the Yang Family.
Besides, why had his eldest granddaughter become so audacious today?
Before, she was only known for stubbornly glaring at people.
âMother, father is rightâŠâ Feng Caie hastily nodded in agreement.
Even though she was reluctant to part with the Silver as well, when it came to her sonâs future, she was willing to give up a little.
Moreover, since the family had not divided yet, the Silver wasnât really hers to keep; if spent, it was spent.
Ruxin glanced at Feng Caie with a mockingly curved lip, but it quickly disappeared.
Her bold confrontation with old Yang hinged on the fact that the Yang Family, preoccupied as they might be, would not impede Yang Rusongâs imperial examination.
Yang Anshi fell silent, and although reluctant, she turned and went back to the main house.
Shortly after, she returned with ten copper coins, tossing them to the ground: âThatâs all there isâŠâ
Seeing there was money, Sanni hurriedly rushed to pick it up, but was held back by Ruxin, who looked at her big sister in confusion.
âGrandpa, Grandma.â Ruxin then looked up at Yang Peili, her eyes still red from crying, âActually, if my mother dies, it would be a release for herâŠ
If our family feels that a daughter-in-lawâs funeral isnât grand enough, then I along with my younger siblings will hang ourselvesâŠâ Glancing around, she suggested, âWhy donât we do it on the old locust tree in the courtyard?
Itâs sturdy.
The branches wonât break even if the five of us little ones hang from it for days.â
âYou wretched girl, how dare you threaten me?â Yang Anshi became even more furious, âIâll show you, Iâll beat you to deathâŠâ and she started looking for the rattan cane again.
