Chapter 948 - 949 Old Yang’s Questioning_1
Auntie Li grew increasingly envious as she watched, and when she thought about her own son and daughter-in-law, she realized there was no comparison. Yet, her knowledge of the Yang Family’s wealth only strengthened her desire to become closely connected with them.
"Lele, Yangyang, oh, my lovely grandsons!"
Upon hearing that her grandsons had arrived, Ms. Wang hurriedly welcomed them from inside.
"I only missed seeing them yesterday, but why do they seem to have grown a bit already?" Ms. Wang eagerly lifted Lele from the carriage, "Such a good boy, Lele takes after Brother An, looking and behaving alike, so calm and steady."
"Mother, you exaggerate too much!"
It had been only a day since she last saw them, but it was true that the child was quiet – one seldom heard him cry. And on the rare occasions he did, it was merely soft whimpering, not the loud wailing like Yangyang’s.
"Come, let’s go inside quickly, don’t let my precious grandson get sunburned." Seeing Yangyang lying in the carriage with his tiny hands clasped together, smiling blissfully, Ms. Wang immediately felt a pang of heartache.
"He won’t get sunburned, I’ve got this cover over him." Although Ye Zi’an said this, she still pushed the child along following Ms. Wang.
However, when Ms. Wang turned around, she saw Auntie Li.
"Auntie Li is here?"
Auntie Li was somewhat unhappy that Ms. Wang had only just noticed her, but she said stiffly, "I’m looking for your Dachuan."
Hearing this, Ms. Wang guessed she was here about that matter, so she signaled a servant girl to go and call Yang Dachuan.
Yang Dachuan was in Old Yang’s courtyard at the time. Hearing from the servant girl that Auntie Li was looking for him, he understood immediately.
"I’ll go with you to the front."
Old Yang could still walk, but he’d get tired and need to sit for a while, so he often had a manservant push a wheelchair for him to rest in when needed.
"Father, I can talk to her just as well."
"She won’t give up unless I speak to her myself," Old Yang said, dismissing the offer with a wave of his hand.
People are never satisfied, always looking for ways to benefit from others’ wealth.
Regardless of how Yang Qingwen and Li Chun are doing now, even if they were in dire straits, the presence of Auntie Li and her family as relatives would prevent the Yang Family from forming any ties with those siblings.
Otherwise, it would lead to more chaos in the future.
When they arrived at the front courtyard, Auntie Li beamed with joy upon seeing Old Yang and Yang Dachuan approach together.
"Uncle!"
She hurried over, but Old Yang raised his hand to interrupt her, "I know why you’ve come! But if the child has Lu Family blood, then he’s one of the Lu Family. Our Yang Family isn’t lacking descendants to the point of needing to take in someone from the Lu Family. And don’t tell me you can’t make ends meet. I know how much land Burly Lu had back in the day, and his house wasn’t any worse than our old estate. There’s no reason for not being able to get by. If we’ve cut ties, then it’s over. All this gratitude and foster ties, the Yang Family doesn’t care for it."
Auntie Li hadn’t even had a chance to speak when Old Yang laid out a stream of words, making her face flush red and then pale.
"Uncle..."
Old Yang had spoken of everything she could have possibly brought up. You mention gratitude, he says he doesn’t care for it; you say you want to return to the Yang Family, he says the other party belongs to the Lu Family; you claim not being able to survive, he mentions knowing the other family’s sufficient land holdings. So, where’s the reason to return to the Yang Family?
"Everyone in the village knows Old Lady Hua had an affair with Burly Lu, and Old Lady Hua even ended up being drowned in the pond because of it. Now you come to me saying they want to return to the Yang Family, coming here to ask on their behalf; I want to know if this is your idea or if it’s Yang Qingwen and Ms. Ye’s? What, are you here to have me, in front of the whole village, pick up the green hat for myself?"
