Chapter 132: Tug-of-War_1
Yang Peili frowned, "What’s the fuss about?"
"I went to see the doctor yesterday," Yang Baifu said with conviction, "and elder sister-in-law’s illness isn’t something that can be cured with one or two doses of medicine. This month alone it’ll cost at least three taels of silver. Are we trying to empty the family coffers or what?" He paused, "And besides, elder sister-in-law was knocked unconscious by second brother, so by rights he should bear the cost. You can’t drag us from the fourth branch into this too, right? I already have two daughters and I still need to have a son... If you spend all the money now, what will I do in the future? Do you really have the heart to see that one day I die without anyone to continue the family line?"
"Nonsense," Yang Peili was angered, "I’m not dead yet."
"I don’t care." Even though Yang Baifu feared his father, at that moment his mind was made up, and he shouted with his neck stiffened, "I refuse to help second brother bear the endless medical expenses... All that talk about how you sympathize with me, I say it’s all crap. You care about second brother the most... Isn’t it just because Rusong can study?" He paused, "If I have a son, I’ll send him to study too, and maybe he’ll do even better than Rusong..."
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Baichuan, upon hearing Yang Baifu’s words, didn’t hide anymore and rushed out.
"What I mean is, either you from the second branch pay for eldest sister-in-law’s expenses, or we split the family," Yang Baifu stated resolutely, "It’s impossible for us to suffer with you..."
Yang Peili was so furious that he raised his hand and slapped him.
