After hearing Yang Ruoqing's last words, Old Yangtou's face suddenly sank.
He looked at Yang Ruoqing with an extremely unhappy look: "Girl Qing, be careful what you say, don't say it so unpleasantly!"
"What does it mean to destroy humanity? We, the old Yang family, never do bad things like murder and arson!"
Beside them, Yang Huazhong and Sun were both worried. Sun quietly tugged on Yang Ruoqing's sleeve and gave her a secret look.
Yang Huazhong tried to smooth things over by saying, "Dad, Qing'er didn't mean that. Qing'er couldn't bear to see such a young child without a mother right after he was born..."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Yang Huazhong: "Dad, please stop trying to smooth things over for me. I'll just say it clearly!"
She took her hand out of Sun's hand, took two steps forward, came to Old Yangtou, and met Old Yangtou's gloomy eyes.
"Sir, that crazy woman and her newly-born daughter have nothing to do with me. I am now the wife of the old Luo family. I have no right to interfere with the messy affairs of the old Yang family, and I have no interest in it. Ask."
"Don't tell me you drove that crazy woman away. Even if you beat that crazy woman to death right now, it's none of my business."
"But I just want to say one thing, if my eldest cousin wants to take the imperial examination to become an official, the family affairs of his brothers will also be included in the assessment of the imperial examination!"
"Even when he passes the examination and becomes an official, the imperial court will send special personnel to investigate and register his family background and matters in the family. It will become the standard for judging an official's character. You see, Do it!”
After Yang Ruoqing finished speaking, she picked up the tea bowl in front of her, raised her head and drank the tea in one gulp, put down the tea bowl and turned around to leave.
When she reached the door of the main room, she suddenly stopped, turned to Yang Huazhong and Sun, and said: "Also, father and mother, if you have time, you can think more about the Taoist temple and Duo'er's dowry. Well, no matter what, we still have the harvests in our fields. As for other family-friendly things, I advise you not to worry too much!"
After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing ignored Old Yang's head, which was so angry that his nose was twisted, and turned around and left.
The hall immediately fell into an awkward atmosphere.
Mrs. Sun looked around and said, "Dad Qing'er, please talk to Qing'er. I'm going to clean up in the kitchen."
Sun took the opportunity to run away, leaving the main room to Yang Huazhong and his son.
Old Yangtou's brows knitted into a knot and he sat there without saying a word.
Yang Huazhong didn't say anything, and stood aside in silence.
After a while, Old Yangtou finally let out a breath. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Yang Huazhong, and said angrily: "Your eldest brother and second brother left early. Apart from me and your mother, you are the youngest person in this family. The most senior brother,"
"Even if our old Yang family is divided into separate houses, and we can visit each room behind closed doors, there is something wrong with this big house. I came here to find out the details, am I not going to cause trouble for you?"
Yang Huazhong was startled for a moment. He could tell that the old man was still dissatisfied with Qing'er's words just now.
"Dad, it is a son's duty to help you and my mother share your worries and solve problems. This does not conflict with whether the eldest brother or the second brother is alive." Yang Huazhong said with a smile.
"It's just that, as you just said, our old Yang family has been divided into five rooms. Among them, the four nephews of the eldest family have grown up and married each other, and they have divided into four smaller rooms."
"My nephews are all grown up. They are all adults. They have their own plans for how to live in a small family. As the elders, we should let them go when it's time to let them fight on their own."
Old Yangtou didn't like to hear this.
"What? According to what you said, I am too old and too full to find trouble for myself? Is there any extra time to worry about?" Lao Yangtou asked back, his tone as sharp as his eyes.
Yang Huazhong had no choice but to bend down and try to make the smile on his face more sincere.
"Dad, that's not what I meant. You and my mother have worked hard for our old Yang family, and everyone knows it." Yang Huazhong said.
"What I mean is that you should leave it to the young boy to resolve the matter. Even if it is a crazy wife, let the young boy decide whether to send her away or stay. As elders, let us not I’m anxious to help him make up his mind.”
"If they are doing okay on their own, we can just turn a blind eye. Young people need to grow up,"
"If he doesn't do something right, we, as elders, will stand up and give him some advice and analyze the relationship with him, instead of just running out and taking over everything without asking them for their opinions. This is not good... "
Before Yang Huazhong finished speaking, Old Yang stood up.
The old man put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door of the hall with a dark face.
"Dad, where are you going?" Yang Huazhong hurriedly chased after him.
Lao Yang said without looking back: "Go back and sleep, so that you don't have to say that I have a big job and don't worry about it!"
Yang Huazhong froze on the spot, "Dad, I really didn't mean that..."
Lao Yang raised his hand and waved: "Don't say anything. Let the young boy handle this matter by himself. I'm too lazy to take care of it."
Old Yangtou left angrily. Yang Huazhong shook his head and turned back to the main room.
I found Mrs. Sun standing at the door of the hall, looking over here with worry on her face.
"You offended Mr. Qing'er again..." said Sun.
Yes, she didn't go to the backyard stove before, but hid behind the main room and eavesdropped.
Yang Huazhong glanced at Sun and smiled bitterly: "I think my daughter is right. We don't need to worry about these things. Yongqing is already twenty-seven. He is not a child. He should be responsible for his own affairs." Responsibility, good or bad, is what he has to face."
Mrs. Sun nodded: "That's the truth, but I still can't figure out what the purpose of Mr. Qing'er's coming over is."
Yang Huazhong said: "This is obvious. Grandma Qing'er wanted to drive away Yongqing's wife, but she was afraid that someone would poke the backbone of our old Yang family, so Master Qing'er came to discuss with us and wanted us to help think of an excuse."
"In other words, Grandma Qing'er wants to drive away the Yongqing wife, but she knows in her heart that this will definitely be unreasonable, so she wants to test our words and win my support first."
"As long as our old Yang family has unified opinions, then we will have enough confidence to kick people out. This is like stealing a cow alone. If you don't dare, you will have enough courage to call a group of people. When you are scolded, someone will share the burden." , there are even people who pick it in front!”
After listening to Yang Huazhong's analysis, Sun became a little angry.
"For so many years, good things have never occurred to us. When we encounter a difficult situation this time, the first thing that comes to mind is you, our third son, hey!" Mrs. Sun shook her head, with a look of helplessness on her face.
Yang Huazhong raised his hand and stroked Sun's shoulder, as if to comfort him.
"You heard it before, and I made it clear. From now on, we don't care about the good or the bad. Let's live our own lives behind closed doors, and don't reach out to other people's homes," he said.
"Don't be upset, let's do what we need to do!"
