Chapter 383: The Fight Begins (Third Update)_1
"You, you want to enrage me to death?" Yang Anshi picked up the shoe beside her and threw it, "We’re not dead yet." She had mostly recovered her fighting spirit.
"Mother, if we don’t divide the family now, Dalang will be dragged down with us." Yang Baichuan stomped his foot in frustration, "I won’t mention the issues with the eldest sister-in-law, that’s in the past, but the trouble the fourth brother caused today, if it gets out, it will... tarnish our reputation..."

"You... you’re trying to anger me to death..." Yang Peili was truly powerless.
"Second brother, you mean I brought shame upon you?" Yang Baifu shrieked, "What about you then? You think you’re innocent? Don’t think I don’t know, when the eldest sister-in-law was around, you peeped at her changing clothes and bathing every day..."
