Chapter 1662: Chapter 1664: A Slip of the Tongue
After Aunt Lan Hua was released, her whole body went limp onto the ground.
While covering her neck with her hand, she coughed violently.
She didn’t dare stomp her feet anymore; she was afraid if she did, she’d lose her life.
Seeing Yang Dong holding all the silver she had saved for so many years, she was unwilling to accept it.
Without the silver, this family would be finished!
As she regained herself, she saw her youngest daughter standing there trembling like a mouse seeing a cat, only knowing how to cry.
Her anger flared up.
The old lady almost got strangled to death, the silver was taken away, and she didn’t even know to come help.
This daughter was useless; she should have strangled her at birth, should never have let her ruin this family.
If it weren’t for the messes this daughter made, would their family be like this?
Their reputation was gone, the silver was gone.
The moment Aunt Lan Hua saw her youngest daughter again, she was utterly furious and somehow found the strength to rush at Yang Xiaocui before anyone could react.
Two loud slaps were heard.
Yang Xiaocui got slapped twice, and the sound made everyone shudder as it looked painful.
Before she could react, she heard her mother’s curses.
"Yang Xiaocui, what are you doing, old lady almost got strangled to death and you didn’t know to help, how did I give birth to such a useless daughter, should’ve strangled you when you were born."
Yang Xiaocui was already terrified because Yang Dong was there, and now, after being hit by her mother, she was dumbstruck, covering her mouth with one hand, sobbing.
Seeing her youngest daughter crying like that, Aunt Lan Hua only got angrier, her mouth kept spewing words without thinking, she didn’t even know what she was saying, "Cry, cry, cry, that’s all you know, what’s the use of you, old lady isn’t dead yet; you were bold enough to fake fainting and try to kill someone, why so cowardly now?"
Immediately after Aunt Lan Hua said this, the gathered villagers erupted into chatter.
"Oh my God, it seems the story of Yang Xiaocui faking a coma is true, and the assassination attempt on Miss Li is true too, then the issue with Yang Daniu must also be true."
"Her own mother said she faked fainting to kill, it must be true."
"No wonder old Yang Dong got so angry and called off the engagement, anyone would’ve done the same, this is like cheating, such shame."
"Heavens, how terrifying, Yang Xiaocui seemed so honest and timid, and she’s this malicious."
"You’d never guess, just look at her now crying pitifully, who would’ve thought she was such a person?"
"It’s always the quiet ones you have to watch out for; we better keep our distance, she might betray us too someday."
"..."
"..."
Everyone’s chatter made Aunt Lan Hua realize she had accidentally let it slip in her anger.
Seeing that the situation had been exposed and could no longer be covered up, she simply didn’t care anymore, having tried so hard to clean up after her daughter, and her daughter turned out like this.
Why should she even care, let it all unravel, she’d rather her daughter disappear from her sight, saving her from more anger.
She still had to protect her silver, so she turned to Yang Dong, "Yang Dong, you nearly strangled me to death just now, all the villagers saw it, if I report this to the government office, you’ll end up in jail, but if you return that bundle of things, then today’s affair is over."
