Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Spitting out a Few Deserving Beating Words "No crying!" Yang Chuxia gripped his collar and shouted again, and Yang Qingbao sobbed inconsolably. Ms. Liu felt a deep pang in her heart watching this. "Yang Chuxia, what are you doing? Let go of Qingbao immediately. If you scare him, I won’t let you off the hook." Ms. Liu was even more protective of her child than Ms. Ye and Ms. Luo. Despite being fearful of Yang Chuxia, she always rushed to her child’s defense. Now, she drew out her clubs again. Seeing her draw out her club, Ms. Wang became even more defiant, she took out the kitchen knife and threateningly brandished it at Ms. Liu. Just then, between sobs, Yang Qingbao squeakily said, "I only, only heard my uncle mention lots of silver and something about grandpa, I don’t know anything else." Upon hearing those words, Yang Chuxia heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought this kid couldn’t have heard everything that clearly. She immediately berated, "You cheeky boy, if you didn’t hear the whole conversation, how come everyone suddenly thinks that your grandpa gave my family silver, huh? Did you or did you not spread that around?" "I didn’t! I didn’t make it up." Yang Qingbao defended himself loudly, "It was big sister! I said that Uncle San had a lot of silver, and big sister asked me how I knew. I said I overheard it, and then big sister asked me more about it. And then big sister said it must be grandpa who gave Uncle San the silver." Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia understood it. The story about Old Yang giving the third branch of the family silver was definitely something that Ruoqiu added herself. Plus, with Yang family’s members envying the third branch for building a house and aiming for their wealth, it had been easy for everyone to rush into action with just a few additional words from Ruoqiu. Put simply, they wanted to use this as an excuse to get some silver out of the third branch. In fact, Yang Chuxia’s guess was right. Aside from Old Lady Hua, who genuinely believed Old Yang had given the silver to the third branch, everyone else was merely using it as an excuse. They would never believe Old Yang had any silver; all the money in the house was tightly held by Old Lady Hua, to the extent that Old Yang wouldn’t even have a penny on him. "Let me tell you, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re all just jealous that my family has money to build a house, and now you want to know where the money came from." Yang Chuxia let go of Yang Qingbao’s collar and gave him a light kick while dusting off her hands, "Unfortunately, I’m not going to tell you. Dream on if you think you can use this as an excuse to squeeze my family out of its silver. And even if my grandpa did give my family some silver, you think that I would regurgitate the meat that’s already in my mouth? Dream on!" "And you!" Yang Chuxia pointed at Ruoqiu and continued, "Being a girl and all, stop stirring up trouble and adding fuel to the fire. When did Qingbao say that grandpa gave our family silver? Qingbao hasn’t even seen it happen. Just because you are harboring sneaky thoughts, don’t use your brother’s name to shield yourself. What, are you jealous because my family lives and eats well, and you want to take something back? Too bad, even if I had food to waste, I’d rather throw it to the dogs than give it to you. Lastly, let me clarify, my grandpa did not give us any silver, he only came to ask me if I could help him get my uncle released from the county government office." Facing Yang Chuxia, who had blatantly exposed their intentions, the faces of the Yang family members turned sour. However, Ms. Ye’s eyes sparkled upon hearing Yang Chuxia’s last sentence. Even Old Lady Hua momentarily forgot about the silver issue and looked anxiously towards Yang Chuxia. Yang Chuxia took in their expressions and then mockingly uttered a few words, "Too bad, I didn’t agree."
