Chapter 6 - 6: Dizzy_1
"Dad..." Yang Ruxin suddenly had a stroke of inspiration and started to wail at the top of her lungs, "Your daughter-in-law and daughters are about to be beaten to death, and your son Xiaofeng is about to become a fatherless and motherless orphan. What if he can't find a wife in the future, who will carry on the family line for you? You're on the brink of family extinction, Dad! You might as well take us with you..."
With that cry, the courtyard fell silent in an instant.
Feng Caie, who had been leaning against the door frame eating melon seeds and enjoying the spectacle, was even startled; a melon seed she failed to crack got stuck in her throat. Her face turned red as she coughed several times before she managed to spit it out, then she looked at Yang Dani in the courtyard with horror. Could it be that a ghost had possessed her?

Yang Ruxin was fiercely poking the Quchi Acupoint on Yang Anshi's arm in a place that others couldn't see. "Dad, the virtue of filial piety is greater than heaven. If Mom intends to beat us to death, then we can only wait for death. We'll be joining you soon; at least we'll have each other's company on the road to the Netherworld..."
Yang Anshi tried to shake off Yang Ruxin but couldn't muster any strength. Her hand loosened, and the rattan whip dropped to the ground with a clatter. She mysteriously felt a chill in her heart and her face turned pale...
