248: Chapter 248: Disrespectful to Parents (Six More)_1 248: Chapter 248: Disrespectful to Parents (Six More)_1 Yang Rusongâs face turned pale.
That Yang Dani dared to curse at him?
He was a scholar, for heavensâ sake.
How dare she?
He then lifted his hand, pointing at Yang Ruxin, âYouâŠâ
âYou what?â Yang Ruxin raised her hand and slapped his away.
âThink youâre something special because youâve read a few books?
Coming here to strut around like a cocky wolf?
Iâve got just two words for you: Scram, quickly.â If she had been indifferent to this younger cousin before, now she was filled with nothing but disgust.
âYang Dani, you are utterly unreasonable,â Yang Rusong said, getting his words out with difficulty.
âIs it wrong to ask you to show filial piety to your elders?
You dare to scorn a scholar and defy the heavensâŠâ
âCome off it!â Yang Ruxin burst into scornful laughter.
âWhen have I ever scorned a scholar?
Iâm not taking the blame for this mess.
I scorn someone like you who brings shame on scholars.â The kid was quite cunning, trying to set her up.
âWho said Iâm not filial?
Before the division of the family property, all the chores were done by us.
After the division, we still provided money for the elderly care.
What more do you want from us in terms of filial piety?â
âDividing the family isâŠ
is unfilialâŠâ Yang Rusong said stubbornly, raising his voice.
âYang Rusong, you should take that talk back to your own parents.
Do you even know why we divided the property?â Yang Ruxinâs voice suddenly rose.
âIt was because my mother collapsed, and fearing the expense, you all conspired to throw us, the main branch, out of the house, understand?â
Yang Rusong instinctively took a step back because Yang Ruxinâs expression looked extremely terrifying at that moment.
âIf elders are kind, the younger generation will naturally be filial.
Your damn family of worms nearly drained us dry and caused our death, and yet you still demand filial piety?â Yang Ruxin pointed at Yang Rusongâs nose.
âOver all those years, why didnât you show any filial piety, huh?
Anyone could point fingers at our main branch, but not you, Yang Rusong, because you donât have the rightâŠâ
Yang Rusong kept retreating, realizing for the first time that his cousin sister was quite fierce.
Was this the same cousin sister he knew before?
âMy mother is lying at home right now,â Yang Ruxin ground out through clenched teeth.
âShe was injured by your father.
A grown man clubbed her on the head.
Have you not asked your father why he was so cruel?
She is his sister-in-law, your aunt, and who did all the work at home and in the fields over the years?
Who sewed your clothes and socks?â With that, she took a step forward and tugged at the robe Yang Rusong wore, âLook, this fine cotton robe is made from cloth that my mother earned from her needlework, staying up two nights to sew just for youâŠâ
Yang Rusong hurriedly retreated two more steps, not wanting any physical contact with Yang Ruxin because he felt like she was about to strike him.
âBut after she got injured, did you ever come to see her once?
Donât say you didnât know.
You think I donât know that you came snooping around for information?
And then you just ran off, didnât you?â Yang Ruxin didnât approach further but half-closed her eyes, âWith your attitude, how can you show your face reading the Sage Books?
With your morals, if you became an official, youâd be corrupt.
Let me tell you, youâre nothing but trash.
In the future, donât let me see you, or elseâŠâ With that, she shook her fist, âI wonât care about your status, Iâll still beat you till youâre looking for your teeth on the ground.
Donât believe me?
Just try itâŠâ
Yang Rusongâs footing suddenly faltered, and he nearly fell over.
