Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Don’t Mind Breaking the Net Even If the Fish Dies
"Why the hell should I leave? I’m standing on my own aunt’s land! Could it be that I’m wrong and you, Ms.Wang, are really generous enough to let me, a stepchild, come to your house to be nursed back to health? Or perhaps the whole village knows that your daughter Yang Chuxia is a spicy girl, and you’re afraid no one will dare to marry her in the future, so you’re trying to find her a little husband right now?" Ms.Hua Junior flirtatiously laughed, even bringing out a handkerchief from her sleeve to cover her mouth, then continued, "I must say, this girl really can’t get married; otherwise, she’d at least be looking for a healthy little husband instead of a lame one. Hot woman matched with a cripple, you can’t deny it’s quite fitting."
"Ms.Hua Junior, get the hell out of here, you foulmouthed thing! You’re just spouting nonsense!"
Yang Chuxia looked at the sky, speechless at Ms.Wang’s angry roar. She decided to take matters into her own hands; her mother was too polite, only repeating that one sentence.
However, before she could say anything, Ye Zi’an stood up and coldly stared at Ms.Hua Junior.
"When you kicked me out all those years ago, we severed all ties. Even without any written documents, the whole village can attest to this. So, who I marry in the future and what I do has nothing to do with you anymore. Don’t think that just because I didn’t file a complaint last time, I have any lingering affection or care about my reputation, or that I’m afraid of you. Now I’m living alone, completely carefree, and I don’t mind fighting you to the bitter end. Dare to try? And you, as a woman yourself, show some decency when you speak. Don’t smear the reputation of a young girl; it’s disgraceful."
Perhaps it was Ye Zi’an’s cold gaze, or the fact that Ms.Hua Junior had never heard him speak so much at once, but she was momentarily stunned.
Seeing her like this, Yang Chuxia became irritated, "Ms.Hua Junior, who I take a liking to is none of your business? Do you really think you’re Brother An’s mother?" Yang Chuxia looked at her coldly, "But rest assured, even if I were to take a liking to someone, it wouldn’t be either of your sons. With such a vicious mother like you, I’m afraid I’d end up cursed. Anyway, seems to me like you, this young widow, don’t want to stay in our village anymore, huh? Mom, let’s quickly check if anything from our house is missing. Oh, wait, I remember putting a bag of candy on the windowsill. How come it’s gone now? It must’ve been stolen by this brazen woman’s son."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My son Ziyong didn’t even come." Hearing that something might be missing, Ms.Hua Junior immediately panicked, afraid that Yang Chuxia would pin the blame on her son. After uttering a single sentence, she glanced at the cooking stove of the third branch of the family and swiftly ran off in a corner.
"Tsk, what a thing! As expected, people of the same bloodline can’t be too different; they’re all just a bunch of scoundrels." Upon seeing Old Lady Hua come out, Yang Chuxia immediately uttered this remark, angering Old Lady Hua who slammed the door as she went back inside.
"I told you so! You, old man, are always too soft-hearted when it comes to doing things. Ms.Hua Junior is just bad news – we would’ve been much better off kicking her out back then, instead of having her here, bouncing around and making trouble." Land Officer Yang’s wife, in a fit of anger, chimed in, though she couldn’t find an opportunity to speak earlier.
When Ms.Hua Junior left, she couldn’t help but complain to Land Officer Yang.
"Enough, enough. When dealing with people, you have to show some restraint. What do you know about a woman’s plight?" Land Officer Yang waved his hand impatiently.
"Hey, old man, why are you talking like that?"
Old Aunt-in-law Gen hurriedly held Land Officer Yang’s wife back and tried to calm her down, "Aunt, you know our uncle’s kind-heartedness. And in the end, didn’t Ms.Hua Junior suffer for it?"
