The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

It must be said, Yang Dayong was speaking the harsh truth.

The Liu Family’s actions were unprincipled, especially recently, having the audacity to ask others for a loan again. Their shamelessness was unmatched. She refused to believe the Liu Family only had the Yang Family as relatives; were there no other families they could borrow from?

By this time, without any further explanations from Yang Dayong, Yang Chuxia already understood how difficult and uncomfortable Uncle Dayong must have felt.

After sending Yang Dayong off, Yang Chuxia wrote a letter to Mu Shaoling and had Fugui take the carriage to the county town overnight.

Truth be told, she was unclear when Mu Shaoling would come back to Funan. After all, it was unthinkable that he would make a special trip just for someone of no importance. She could only try her best to ask. In fact, rather than pinning her hopes on Mu Shaoling, she should look forward to the doctors at Mu’s Clinic performing better.

The next day, early in the morning, Yang Chuxia prepared some medicinal herbs and went to Land Officer Yang’s home.

Seeing Land Officer’s wife lying motionless in bed was somewhat heart-wrenching.

Especially seeing her eyes open, wanting to speak but unable to, the feeling of frustration was palpable without needing to think about it.

"Great-aunt, please don’t worry, don’t be anxious. Calm down and focus on recuperating. I’ve sent someone to the county town to request a doctor from Mu’s Clinic. They will surely be able to cure you," she said.

Upon hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of Land Officer’s wife, and she nodded almost imperceptibly.

After conversing with the Land Officer’s wife for a while, Yang Chuxia prepared to take her leave, but she noticed that Ms. Liu Junior, who was supposed to be the daughter-in-law, wasn’t around to tend to her mother-in-law.

Only a young maid was at the side, helping out with bringing tea and water.

She looked unfamiliar, probably hired to serve the Land Officer’s wife.

Regardless, the injury to the Land Officer’s wife was still because of the Liu Family, and up to now, no one from their household had come to visit, let alone the fact that they came to borrow money and even threw a tantrum. In such a time, shouldn’t Ms. Liu Junior feel ashamed on behalf of the Liu Family? To take a step back, shouldn’t she at least be fulfilling her filial duties by her side?

Although she thought this, it wasn’t her family matter to intervene in, nor was it her place to make any remarks.

Yet, she hadn’t anticipated that there would always be more outrageous people committing even more outrageous deeds.

After leaving the Land Officer’s wife’s room, Yang Chuxia was ready to head home, but upon entering the courtyard of Land Officer Yang’s residence, she encountered Ms. Liu Junior. Ms. Liu Junior’s face stiffened upon seeing her, and there was a certain coldness in her eyes.

The indifference from Yang Dayong these past days, along with the events that transpired, had all caused a shift in her mentality, even bringing about the thought that if Yang Chuxia had agreed to the marriage between the two families back then, none of these subsequent incidents would have occurred. Once this notion took hold, it spiraled out of control.

So, seeing Yang Chuxia now, she didn’t want to acknowledge her, but thinking of the item she carried, she subconsciously hid it behind her back.

However, quick as her action might have been, it was not faster than Yang Chuxia’s eyes. She still saw the object in Ms. Liu Junior’s hands—a silver neck collar. The brightness of the silver was somewhat glaring, and she recognized it at a glance as the full-moon gift she had given when Yang Qingkang was born.

Yang Chuxia wondered, what was this woman doing with the neck collar at this time?

Looking around at the entrance of the courtyard, and thinking about her direction, not far from there was the main gate. Yang Chuxia thought, could she be planning to take the neck collar outside? But what would she do with it out there?

As Yang Chuxia pondered silently, she made no noise, but once she reached the outside of the gate, she realized what the woman was about to do.

Turns out she was taking Qingkang’s neck collar to her own family.
