Chapter 29: Ch. 15 Part 1
Xiao Ling was shocked to find grandma in a mess seating in front of their door, Du Shi was standing beside her as she leaned on the door, the second son was present along with his wife.
" grandma here he comes! " Xangren hurriedly pointed to YanZhi as he shouted to grandma. He became excited when he saw YanZhi knowing there were going to leave here today with silver, they’ve been coming over since three days today wanting to collect the silver YanZhi promised them in the agreement when he separated and also try to squeeze something’s from him.
But every time they came the door was locked for the past two days, but today here was YanZhi right in front of them in flesh... grandma got herself up from the floor feeling agitated as she scurried over to them as they approached closer. She jumped onto YanZhi and grabbed the collar of his clothes in furry as she held it tight not wanting him to slip
" ah you’re finally here! you promised us silver when we signed the agreement of the separation but till date you haven’t given us the silver!... instead you’ve been feeding it to that broomstar and dressing him up in expensive clothes. YanZhi you’re not filial to your parents and elders!, we were the ones who raised and fed you until you’re this old but when you got money you forgot about your roots. Today if you don’t give me silvers I won’t leave here!, I’ll take you to see the officials for them to be the judge. "
Grandma said in furry making the onlookers snickered watching the fun as they judged YanZhi and called him unfilial..... YanZhi paid no heed to grandma nor the onlookers as he looked at grandma’s hands on his cloth which was soiled by the dirt on her hands. He was so furious that for a moment he thought of striking her dead right there but he quickly calmed himself down..... Yue quickly held grandma’s wrists as if she was going to break them in a snap, she forcefully pried grandma’s hands off YanZhi’s clothes feeling irritated at the mess grandma had done to her master’s clothes.
" Grandma what are you saying, it was clearly stated on the agreement that Xiong Gong will pay you a tael of silver as filial piety from the beginning of a new month which is today.... we didn’t say that we won’t pay you it’s just that we weren’t at home and we just came back. "
" shut up you broomstar star... are you the head of the house? am I talking to you or my grandson? who do you think you are to put your mouth, you’re nothing but a slave wife I bought with money! " grandma retorted raging with anger, Xiao Ling closed his mouth forming a thin line as he fixed his gazes on YanZhi waiting for his reply to grandma’s talk. The onlookers gave Xiao Ling disgusted looks and scolded
" he’s my wife! whether bought or married, he’s my wife and you’ll treat him as such! you’re here for the agreed silver right, then here you are! " YanZhi took out a silver tael from his sleeve which grandma happily snatched from his hand
" just a tael? YanZhi you have so much silvers and you’re giving me just a tael.... this won’t be enough. I know that’s not all you have on you, just look at the material of your clothes, the materials just cost a lot of silvers for a piece..... why don’t you add two taels to this " grandma said determined to squeeze out more silvers from him but what she didn’t know was that YanZhi was no pushover.
