137: Chapter 137: Palm and Back of the Hand_1 137: Chapter 137: Palm and Back of the Hand_1 âReally?â Yang Ruxinâs gaze was deep as she glanced at Yang Baichuan before she let out a cold laugh, âHow did my mother anger my grandma?â
âSheâŠâ Yang Baichuan hesitated, âSheâŠâ He originally wanted to say she hid some buns, but considering the things he had hidden himself, he simply couldnât utter the words.
âEnough.â The third great-uncle was getting impatient.
He glanced at Yang Peili, âIâve heard about the issues in your home.
Both sides are your flesh, how could you bear to do it?â
Yang Peili opened his mouth but didnât know how to retort.
At this moment, Yang Anshi was even more afraid to speak.
âDani, share your thoughts.â The third great-uncle wasnât counting on Yang Peili to change, so after saying one sentence, he let it be and instead turned to look at Yang Ruxin.
He noticed since she entered the room that the girl seemed different from before, she had spiritual energy.
Otherwise, she wouldnât dare say what she just did.
âThird great-uncle, fourth great-uncle, my father is gone, and my mother is now unconscious and needs medication.
I wonât split the family.â Yang Ruxin shook her head, then knelt down, âRight now, we are weak and sick, surely to starve if we move out and separate, so, I wonât split the familyâŠâ As she spoke, tears began to fall.
Seeing this, Sanni also cried out loud suddenly.
âDongzi, this isnât right,â the fourth great-uncle sighed, âThe eldestâs children are also the Yang Familyâs children.â Yang Peiliâs wife was formidable, always outwitting the honest eldest daughter-in-law.
The elders couldnât say much, just give a tip or two occasionally.
But since Yang Peili couldnât control his wife and Xun Hui couldnât stand up for herself, there was nothing they could do.
A fair official finds it hard to settle domestic disputes; he could only turn a blind eye.
But today was different, with Xun Hui unconscious, the family was about to split the main branch out, wasnât that just forcing the children to their deaths?
âYes,â the third great-uncle nodded, âIf the family splits, that would be disgracefulâŠ
Dongzi, youâve lived your life caring for your reputation.
Could it be that in your old age, reputation has become so worthless it can be used as a shoe sole?â
Yang Peili kept his head down and remained silent.
âThird great-uncle, fourth great-uncle, you canât say that,â Yang Anshi suddenly started crying upon hearing this, but she didnât dare to make a scene, âItâs all because of that Xun Hui, how much did eldest son cherish her?
And what happened?
Within a few years, she brought about his demiseâŠâ
As soon as she said this, the room fell into a momentary silence.
Back then, Yang Baiyue was the hope of the entire Yang Family, everyone had thought he would at least become a government official, but who would have knownâŠ
âAnd now?
She is about to shatter the family againâŠâ Seeing her words take effect, Yang Anshi spoke even more vigorously, âMy eldest grandson is already a scholar and is about to become a Scholar.
With such a jinx in the home, our family will never have peaceâŠ
If anything goes wrong, then the Yang Family will be finishedâŠâ Her tone implied Yang Rusong had already become a Scholar.
A heaviness settled in Yang Ruxinâs heart; she knew her side was too weak.
Even if these clan elders sympathized, they would likely still abandon the main house when compared to promising Yang Rusong.
Besides, even if they truly felt pity for her side, they couldnât make the final decision, as it was ultimately a family matter.
Although splitting the family was her goal, she couldnât help but feel stifled.
