784: Chapter 784: Stop Pretending (3)_1 784: Chapter 784: Stop Pretending (3)_1 Feng Caie kept her head down to reduce her presence and conceal the disdain on her face; she also had her own plans.
Since it was Yang Anshi who dealt with the matter, even if Yang Ruxin got angry, she couldnât blame the second branch of the family.
If things worked out, it was the second branch that would benefit anyway.
âFather, Mother, why donât you go talk to them yourselves?â Yang Baixiang looked up, âTo be honest, I just canât bring myself to do itâŠâ
âWhy canât you?â Yang Anshiâs voice suddenly became sharp.
âI just donât have the face to do it.â Yang Baixiang stood up, âIf Second Brother wants to find work, he can go by himself, or you can go.
I really canât helpâŠâ He turned around and left after saying this.
âYou useless, good-for-nothing son of a bitchâŠâ Yang Anshi was furious, âYou stand right there!â
Yang Baixiang did stop but kept his head down, saying nothing.
âHow can you be so hopeless?â Yang Anshi jumped up, her finger jabbing at Yang Baixiangâs forehead, âYouâre such a waste; we should have just thrown you into the outhouse and drowned you when you were bornâŠâ
Yang Baixiang still said nothing.
Every time he was scorned by his mother in the past, he would feel terrible and then try desperately to do well.
But later, he realized that no matter what he did, he seemed to end up being despised.
So, he understood it wasnât that he wasnât doing well, but that his very existence was a mistake.
Listening to these words now, he felt nothing.
He must have been numb to it.
Perhaps it was Yang Baixiangâs silence that made Yang Anshi even more furious.
She grabbed a rough porcelain bowl from the table and hurled it at Yang Baixiang.
Yang Baixiang hadnât expected his mother to get physical while talking, so he was completely unprepared.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow rushed toward him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by the feel of something warm trickling down.
When he touched it, his hand came away stained with bright red blood.
Then everything went dark, and he knew no more.
A thud on the ground startled everyone.
Yang Peili was shocked and slapped Yang Anshi on the back, âYou crazy old lady, how could you hit him so hard?â
âWhat do you mean hard?â Yang Anshi felt a twinge of guilt but still retorted stubbornly, âIt was just a hit, whatâs the big deal?â She said, kicking Yang Baixiang, âGet up now, stop pretendingâŠâ
But Yang Baixiang lay still with his eyes tightly shut, motionless while the blood spread over his entire face.
âUncle Xiaowu is deadâŠâ Yang Ruban couldnât help but exclaim.
âNonsense.â Yang Anshi glared at her grandson immediately.
Frightened, Yang Ruban quickly took refuge behind his father.
âQuick, go call a doctorâŠâ Yang Peili was still clear-headed and shouted urgently, âSecond Brother, hurryâŠâ
Yang Baichuan ran out at once but after a few steps, he came back, âWho should I call?â Calling Li Yi would cost money, but he felt apprehensive about asking Yang Dani.
âWhat do you mean who?â Yang Anshi had already calmed down, fetched a handful of ashes from the stove, and pressed it onto Yang Baixiangâs head, âWhat a waste of money.
He thinks heâs so precious?
Just because he got hit by a bowl, heâs going to die?â
Yang Baichuan really didnât feel like running errands.
âTake him to that room.â Yang Anshi waved her hand, disgusted, âHeâs an eyesore lying here.â She was also somewhat afraid.
Seeing that the bleeding seemed to have stopped, Yang Peili didnât insist further.
He and Yang Baichuan carried their youngest son into his room.
