Chapter 674
Zhao Guixiang, “Hey, your elbows are turned outwards(1). I’m afraid she’s becoming a typical adolescent daughter— you like that brat Dawang, don’t you?”
(T/N: Implies someone siding or allying themselves with another party instead of their own friends/blood)
Yanyan’s face turned red with shame at her accusation, “You- what are you talking about? It’s obviously my brother and the others who are at fault, but you’re still going to cause trouble? Isn’t this…”
With a ‘crack’ sound, Old Lady Wu slapped her granddaughter, “What is it? You brat, you’re looking for a beating,” Old Lady Wu didn’t want to lose her reputation in front of Zhao Guixiang.
Yanyan cried after being beaten.
Caihua ran over, pulled Yanyan out, hid aside and whispered, “Are you stupid? If you want to be a good person, you have to do it in front of others. How can you get beaten here?”
Yanyan didn’t think about trying to gain favour in front of the public eye, so she cried, “It’s obviously my brother and the others who are at fault, so why do they still go to find others to make trouble? How embarrassing.”
“Even so, no one will blame you for the shame, so just leave them alone. Wouldn’t it be better to let them go? To have your grandmother and your brother suffer when the time comes?” Caihua advised her.
Yanyan still couldn’t figure out the reason.
Caihua explained, “If you don’t let Dawei suffer, will you let him bully you with Xingfu? Do you want to be Xingfu’s wife at the age of 15?”
Yanyan was so frightened that she shook her head, “I don’t want to!”
