Chapter 1657: Chapter 1659: No More Delays
When Xiaoxiao spoke like this, the other members of the Yang Family also chimed in to persuade.
"Yes, fourth brother, sister-in-law is right; you can’t sacrifice yourself. We’ll deal with Yang Xiaocui later."
"Exactly, there are many ways to deal with people. We can handle her without going to the government office."
"Sister-in-law makes a good point; if you get caught, what will happen to Li Chuntao?"
"Dad also doesn’t agree to let you risk yourself."
"..."
"..."
Listening to everyone’s persuasion, Yang Dong finally nodded.
He felt that his third sister-in-law made sense; he wanted to marry Li Chuntao and couldn’t endanger himself. Although the County Magistrate was unreliable, if their family used Silver, he might be able to return.
But that doesn’t mean they should waste Silver unnecessarily.
The family is a bit better off now, but he shouldn’t squander their wealth.
Besides, punishing Yang Xiaocui doesn’t necessarily mean sending her to the government office!
Seeing Yang Dong nod, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but quickly became worried again, "Dad, what if the Li Family wants to report to the officials, what should we do?"
Elder Yang looked at Xiaoxiao, "Third daughter-in-law, what do you think about this matter..."
The meaning was clear; Xiaoxiao was on good terms with the Li Family, so she needed to persuade them about this issue.
Xiaoxiao nodded, considered it agreed, "Dad, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it."
"Third daughter-in-law, we’re counting on you."
"Dad, no problem, we’re all family, and it’s all for the good of the fourth brother."
Xiaoxiao thought about how it was noon and she had to deliver meals to the Li Family. Just now, she saw the first and second sisters-in-law hadn’t sent the meals yet, so she could use this opportunity to investigate the matter.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Yang Dong speak, "Dad, come with me to Yang Xiaocui’s house. I want to call off this engagement today. I don’t want to delay any longer. I want to tell Li Chuntao when she wakes up that I’ve ended the engagement."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao said, "Fourth brother, why don’t we go a little later? Third sister-in-law will go with you."
Xiaoxiao was still a bit worried, afraid that Yang Dong wouldn’t be able to handle it, while she had to persuade the Li Family. It might be better to convince them early; what if they headed to the officials in a moment of carelessness?
"Third sister-in-law, you don’t need to go. I want to solve this myself. I was the one who talked about the engagement, so I’ll handle the breakup myself. Don’t worry, I won’t go soft, and as you said, I need to grow up and can’t always hide behind you all."
Seeing Yang Dong’s determined and unwavering eyes, Xiaoxiao knew Yang Dong could do it.
Moreover, Yang Dong wasn’t a person without ideas, always hiding behind others.
On the contrary, he was too opinionated.
"Alright, I won’t go with you, but you shouldn’t just go with dad. Let second brother and sister-in-law accompany you. Having more people will intimidate them a bit. Mom should stay home; if things get physical, there’s a risk of mom getting hurt."
Xiaoxiao had to consider more; her mother-in-law was weak. If things got physical, she wouldn’t dare to fight back, and if someone targeted her, it would be troublesome.
Yang Ming’s mom felt uneasy being talked about like this by her daughter-in-law, but she knew she couldn’t handle these matters, so she didn’t say anything.
Finally, it was Elder Yang who spoke, "Let’s do as the third daughter-in-law says, and a few of us go."
The Yang Family began to take action separately like this.
Elder Yang took the second brother and his wife along with the fourth brother to Yang Xiaocui’s house to break off the engagement.
Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, went to find the Li Family.
