132: Chapter 132: Tug-of-War_1 132: Chapter 132: Tug-of-War_1 Yang Peili frowned, âWhatâs the fuss about?â
âI went to see the doctor yesterday,â Yang Baifu said with conviction, âand elder sister-in-lawâs illness isnât something that can be cured with one or two doses of medicine.
This month alone itâll cost at least three taels of silver.
Are we trying to empty the family coffers or what?â He paused, âAnd besides, elder sister-in-law was knocked unconscious by second brother, so by rights he should bear the cost.
You canât drag us from the fourth branch into this too, right?
I already have two daughters and I still need to have a sonâŠ
If you spend all the money now, what will I do in the future?
Do you really have the heart to see that one day I die without anyone to continue the family line?â
âNonsense,â Yang Peili was angered, âIâm not dead yet.â
âI donât care.â Even though Yang Baifu feared his father, at that moment his mind was made up, and he shouted with his neck stiffened, âI refuse to help second brother bear the endless medical expensesâŠ
All that talk about how you sympathize with me, I say itâs all crap.
You care about second brother the mostâŠ
Isnât it just because Rusong can study?â He paused, âIf I have a son, Iâll send him to study too, and maybe heâll do even better than RusongâŠâ
âWhat do you mean by that?â Yang Baichuan, upon hearing Yang Baifuâs words, didnât hide anymore and rushed out.
âWhat I mean is, either you from the second branch pay for eldest sister-in-lawâs expenses, or we split the family,â Yang Baifu stated resolutely, âItâs impossible for us to suffer with youâŠâ
Yang Peili was so furious that he raised his hand and slapped him.
Yang Baifu was immediately dumbfounded by the slap, covering his cheek without speaking for a long time.
Yang Ruxin watched the scene with concealed sarcasm on her face.
Look at that, just for a few taels of silver and your sonâs âgood virtuesâ are all exposed.
The beating Xun Hui took was actually quite valuable.
It seems that in the Yang Family, those who are filial and work hard are treated like grass, while those who make trouble and are cunning are treasured.
âDad, why did you hit me?â Yang Baifu shouted after he came to his senses, still insisting on his previous view with stiffened neck, even more resolute, âAnyway, Iâve laid it out here today.
Either the second branch bears the medical expenses themselves, or our fourth branch will go our own way.
Donât call me unfilial later, I wonât support or bury you when youâre deadâŠâ
âYoungest, youâŠâ Yang Peili was so overcome with anger he was at a loss for words, his old face flushed with anger, pointing his finger at Yang Baifu without being able to say anything.
Yang Ruxin instinctively took a few steps back.
Old Man Yang wouldnât be paralyzed by anger, would he?
Fortunately, Old Man Yangâs vitality was strong, and he soon recovered, but he dared not be harsh with his son anymore, especially since all four sons had always been his pride, giving him confidence wherever he went.
However, he had not anticipated thisâŠ
âYoungest son, you are gouging our hearts outâŠâ Yang Anshi started crying with eyes red, but she wasnât scolding, âSpeaking such words, you might be struck by lightningâŠâ
âMomâŠâ Yang Baifu fell to his knees before Yang Anshi, grabbing her legs, âYou have to save your youngest son too.
I donât have a son yet.
If Dong Familyâs woman canât give birth, Iâll have to find a concubine to have a son, and thatâll need silver too.
But eldest sister-in-law is a bottomless pit.
Mom, I beg you, have pity on meâŠâ
Yang Ruxinâs lips twitched slightly.
Uncle Four was still thinking about taking a concubine?
His gall was truly formidable.
