Chapter 153: Gave a Push_1
However, not only was Yang Anshi unkind to Xun Hui, Yang Dani, and others, but she was also unkind to Xiaofeng, the only boy in the main branch of the family, which made many people despise her.
"I’d gladly do it, if you’re so concerned, provide for them yourself..." Yang Anshi yelled, nearly crazed, and she would have lunged to tear the gossiper’s mouth if Yang Peili hadn’t been holding her back.
"I, for one, would be happy, indeed. If they were willing to take the name Li, I would naturally treat them like my own grandchildren," the gossiper retorted without weakness.
"Enough, stop your yammering," Yang Peili shouted at Yang Anshi, who was about to speak again, "Shut your mouth!"
Upon hearing this, instead of holding back, Yang Anshi felt even more humiliated as she had been stopped by Yang Peili several times in front of others. Suddenly, she sat down on the ground and started pulling out her trump card: she began slapping her thighs and wailing.
"You just know how to be unreasonable at every turn," the gossiper said disdainfully, "The little blessings we have in this household, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all cried away by this devout widow... Always going on about this person being a jinx or that person being a jinx, I think you’re the biggest jinx... Your mother-in-law was such a good person, wasn’t she? Weren’t you the jinx that angered her to death?"
What the gossiper mentioned was an incident from a long time ago and not many people knew about it, but this did not mean that no one knew. It’s just that those who knew wouldn’t bring it up. Now that it was mentioned, it was a real slap in the face for Yang Anshi and an even bigger blow for Yang Peili.
