Chapter 1047 - 1049 We’re Not Here to Visit Relatives_1
This question was definitely problematic, but it also perfectly reflected Yang Dayong’s current displeasure.
The mother-in-law’s visit should naturally have been a family call, but asking in such a way clearly seemed unwelcoming.
Ms. Liu Junior’s brother turned dark the moment he heard it.
However, as a man, he wasn’t particularly articulate, so he didn’t say much.
It was Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law who, pushing aside Ms. Liu Junior’s brother, then loudly said, "What family visit? We’re not here to visit relatives, we’re here to settle accounts with your Yang Family and the Ye Family."
Yang Dayong was taken aback, wondering what accounts his family had to settle? And why involve the Ye Family, what relation did this have with the Ye Family?
He didn’t know about the Liu Family’s wish to arrange a marriage with the Ye Family before the new year, and afterwards, Land Officer Yang’s wife hadn’t mentioned it to him either.
Further, since Yang Chuxia had put him in charge of managing the supply section at Artistry Pavilion, he had been busy these past days with the workload of a carpenter, spinning like a top, directing people’s work, with absolutely no time to go down to the village, so he was not very clear about the rumors circulating outside.
At this moment, he was utterly dumbfounded, having no idea about the situation at all.
But Land Officer Yang’s wife, she knew why these people were here—it must have been because of the gossip from outsiders.
She quickly came out and said, "I understand why you’ve come now, but that matter definitely wasn’t spread by our family. Since that day I returned, I haven’t said a word, not to Dayong or the old man either."
"What’s the matter, Mom?"
Seeing him ask, Land Officer Yang’s wife then briefly explained the situation to Yang Dayong.
Upon hearing this, Yang Dayong was completely dumbfounded and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mom, you guys really went overboard, actually bringing this up with Xiaxia. Let’s not even say that Xiaxia isn’t someone whose sights are set high—if so, she wouldn’t have agreed to an engagement with Brother An back then. The most important thing is that Xiaxia has always been very resolute, I’m afraid she would have too many thoughts on the children’s marriage matters, and yet you went to talk to her about this. Moreover, the children are still so young, right?"
Seeing that Yang Dayong really didn’t know about the situation, Ms. Liu Junior figured it really wasn’t Land Officer Yang’s wife who had spoken of it.
Ms. Liu Junior’s brother also eagerly asked, "So, Auntie, it truly wasn’t you who said it?"
Land Officer Yang’s wife then rolled her eyes, which looked quite cute despite her age.
"Why on earth would I be so foolish as to spread such a thing? What benefit would it bring me? Plus, what even is the relationship between our two families?" As she spoke of the two families’ relations, Land Officer Yang’s wife couldn’t help feeling upset.
She glanced, not so subtly, at Ms. Liu Junior, who had hurried over.
Looking at the people from the Liu Family, she regretted agreeing to her son’s marriage proposal—just look at them, all muddled, what a sight.
Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law’s eyes were rolling around.
Seeing this, she began to clamor, "Just because you say it wasn’t you, does it mean it really wasn’t you? What evidence do you have? Besides, if it really wasn’t you, then it must have been the Ye Family, one way or another it’s only your two families who knew. We, from our own family, would never do such a thing."
Her point seemed valid; the Liu Family’s people wouldn’t go around tarnishing their own family’s reputation.
Land Officer Yang’s wife, who was usually so good with words, was stunned.
Land Officer Yang, upon hearing the commotion, had also arrived and now understood the situation.
Initially, he didn’t intend to get involved—if it were any other family, he would have just had them thrown out, but this was his daughter-in-law’s family, so he couldn’t do that.
