Chapter 1082 - 1084 Intentional_1
"Xiaxia!"
Land Officer Yang’s mouth trembled as he wanted to say something, but felt it wasn’t right to begin talking.
"Great Grandfather Yang, do you want to tell me something? If you have something to say, just speak directly to me. Who are we to each other?"
Upon hearing this, Land Officer Yang let out a sigh, "Child, please sit..."
A shop assistant nearby moved a chair for her.
Once Yang Chuxia had sat down, Land Officer Yang continued, "By rights, your Uncle Dayong is an elder, and I shouldn’t be discussing this with you. But when it comes to capability, he just can’t compare with you. So, I’m asking you for a favor, please look after Uncle Dayong more in the future. His life has been hard, with several failed marriage attempts, and when he finally married, he brought home such a wife. Now that your great grandmother has passed away, and I probably won’t live for many more years myself. As for your granduncle and grandaunt, they don’t even come back once every two or three years, they still count on Uncle Dayong to look after their son, but let’s not talk about them..."
Land Officer Yang said all this because he saw that Yang Dachuan’s family was gradually improving. With Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an on their side, Dachuan’s family would have mutual support, and their household would not suffer.
But once he was gone, the blood relationship with Yang Dachuan’s side would grow even thinner. Eldest couldn’t be relied upon. If Uncle Dayong were to have any trouble in the future, he might end up without anyone to take care of him.
That’s why he was having this conversation with Yang Chuxia.
"Great Grandfather Yang, rest assured, Uncle Dayong is even dearer to me than my own uncles. Isn’t it natural to respect and care for one’s uncle? Even without you mentioning it, I would know to do so."
Indeed, in her heart, Yang Xiaochuan and Yang Da’an simply couldn’t compare to Yang Dayong.
She guessed it was the same in her father’s heart. After all, Land Officer Yang’s family was closer in their interactions. Sometimes, if relatives don’t keep in touch, those with blood ties can’t compare to those without who do keep in frequent contact. Moreover, Land Officer Yang’s family still shared some kinship with hers.
"Then there’s Ms. Liu Junior..."
The conversation had turned back to Ms. Liu Junior. Yang Chuxia only knew that her death was somehow related to Ms. Liu Junior, but she didn’t know exactly what Ms. Liu Junior had done.
"Great Grandfather Yang, what did she do? I get the feeling from Uncle Dayong that great grandmother’s death is related to her?"
At the mention of this matter, Land Officer Yang’s expression grew very somber, and he remained silent for a long time.
Just when Yang Chuxia thought he wouldn’t speak of it, he finally broke the silence.
"Your great grandmother died of anger caused by her, intentionally infuriated to death..."
When Yang Chuxia heard the whole story, she was astonished. What kind of woman was this? She must have been possessed!
In those days, people accepted the idea that a woman should follow her husband upon marriage, and her son upon her husband’s death. Once Ms. Liu Junior married into the Yang Family, she became a member of the Yang Family, and she was expected to prioritize her husband and his family above all else.
How could she listen to her own family so much?
This whole affair started when Ms. Liu Junior’s father fell ill from anger. At the time, Land Officer Yang’s wife was also ill, and Ms. Liu Junior did not return to her parents’ home, instead sending Yang Qingkang’s collar back to her brother to treat their father’s illness.
Furthermore, once Land Officer Yang’s wife had slightly recovered, Ms. Liu Junior was allowed to visit home to check on her father, but who would have known that such a visit would lead to disaster.
After returning home, Ms. Liu Junior was discreetly asked by her mother, sister-in-law, and brother whether her mother-in-law had suffered a stroke.
Since that was true, Ms. Liu Junior naturally didn’t conceal it.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Liu Junior’s brother carelessly remarked that once someone has a stroke, they often die quickly, especially if they get agitated; a strong enough upset can either worsen their condition or kill them.
