Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Future Father-in-law Should Also Worry a Bit
As they spoke, the two went to the courtyard to wash their hands first. Seeing this, Land Officer Yang’s wife laughed, "These two kids really get along well."
Land Officer Yang also said, "Indeed, both of them are blessed. Brother An’s leg can be treated, right? In my opinion, that youngster definitely doesn’t want to feel inferior to others. Xiaxia from your family is also capable, they make a good pair."
"Yes, cousin, that’s what I think too. There’s not much time left this year, so come next spring, I’ll find a time to settle this matter."
"That’s right, the kid’s family has only two thatched cottages, so their housing is a matter you, as the future father-in-law, should be concerned about. The child is still young and probably can’t think of these things yet," Land Officer Yang instructed.
"Yes, cousin, I understand. He doesn’t have to worry about the housing or anything. I’ll treat him like my own son and take care of everything."
While they talked, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an had finished washing their hands and came back. Yang Dachuan and the others paused their conversation for the time being.
Because they had just gone to town today to do some shopping, there was no shortage of dishes for dinner: sweet and sour ribs, braised pork with radish, stir-fried eggs with chili, stir-fried prawns, and so on. The table was full of home-cooked dishes that were not as exquisite as those in restaurants but made everyone happy eating together.
After dinner, they chatted for a while. Land Officer Yang and the others were about to leave first. Yang Chuxia took out two bags of food she had bought in the morning, one for Land Officer Yang to take home for his grandson and the other for Old Yang to take back to the main house’s children.
Seeing that there was still a lot of meat and other dishes left, Ms. Wang packed two more bowls for Old Yang to take back.
Yang Chuxia didn’t say anything, as long as the people from the first and fourth branches of the family didn’t cause trouble in front of her, she didn’t mind giving them a little something.
However, if she knew that Ms. Luo was gossiping at home, she would probably throw away the food instead of letting Ms. Luo and the others eat it.
Yes, in the afternoon, when Yang Dachuan and Yang Chuxia went to town with the silver, Land Officer Yang went to find Old Yang and told him the news. At the time, Yang Xiaochuan and Yang Da’an were in the yard and naturally heard about it.
Yang Da’an was fine; he was very self-aware now. Although he felt a little envious, he would never say anything to stir up trouble. Otherwise, what would he do if his family were kicked out?
But Yang Xiaochuan couldn’t resist. Knowing since the afternoon that the third branch was going to buy a shop, he was consumed with jealousy. He started to complain why they were buying a shop and not helping their own brothers, reminding them that the people of the main house were still living in thatched cottages.
When Yang Xiaochuan said these things in front of Old Yang, Old Yang was in a good mood at the time and didn’t care about them.
Later, when Old Yang and Land Officer Yang were going to the third branch together, Yang Xiaochuan had wanted to follow them, but eventually thought better of it considering Yang Chuxia’s ferociousness and decided against it.
But he was still unhappy in the end.
"It’s infuriating!" Yang Xiaochuan slapped the table, "I’m his real brother. Why does he always look for Dayong to help with everything?"
Yang Xiaochuan thought to himself that they had bought a shop, and no one in the village could afford to buy a shop in town. Even if the shop didn’t belong to his own family, it would bring him prestige to accompany them. But it turned out that they didn’t even come to call him, let alone invite him to dinner tonight. He could guess without asking that the food in the third house must be very good tonight, celebrating such a big event.
