Chapter 1679: Chapter 1681: Is Yang Daniu Back?
On the way back, Yang Gang’s wife grabbed Xiaoxiao and started chatting like a whirlwind, "Sister-in-law, you missed it. You didn’t see how Fourth Brother angered Aunt Lan Hua just now."
She went on, mimicking Yang Dong’s tone, "Did anyone see me pinching her?"
"You heard that, right? No one saw it, but what everyone is saying is true. I really didn’t pinch you just now!"
Then she looked at Xiaoxiao with cunning eyes, "Sister-in-law, you must admit, Fourth Brother is really good at lying with his eyes wide open."
"..."
"..."
All the way, Xiaoxiao listened to her sister-in-law chatter on, revealing everything that happened at Aunt Lan Hua’s house.
From how Yang Dong demanded compensation, to how he pinched Aunt Lan Hua until she almost rolled her eyes, to how Aunt Lan Hua’s family came back and stabbed her, to how Yang Xiaocui tried to commit suicide and so on.
After hearing this, Xiaoxiao was also shocked that Yang Dong had been drugged. Fortunately, it was a fake drug. If it had been the potent one Wang Xiangxiang used, how would they clean up that mess?
However, Xiaoxiao still agreed with Yang Dong’s approach.
It’s just calling off the engagement; there’s no need to go overboard; otherwise, it would leave the villagers something to talk about.
As it is now, it’s just right, and the villagers have nothing to say.
Moreover, Yang Xiaocui has already been dislocated, and Aunt Lan Hua was angered to the ground. They’ve received the punishment they deserve.
If they consider the punishment too light, they can handle it secretly afterward.
After all, they’re all from the same village; no matter how much they jump around, they can’t go far!
The group chatted away as they reached home. As soon as they entered the yard, they were surrounded by family members. Yang Ming’s mother hurried forward and asked, "How was it? Any trouble? Is the engagement called off?"
Yang Ming’s mother was worried sick at home, fearing that they wouldn’t be able to handle Xiaocui’s mother if she kicked up a fuss.
She waited and waited but saw no one return, even the Li Family had gone over and come back, making her anxious until, finally, she saw them return.
Upon seeing his wife, Old Man Yang said, "The engagement is off, and we got our belongings back. No silver was returned; they used land to compensate. They gave us that piece of land on the west of their house, and two acres of wasteland."
When Yang Ming’s mother heard this, she was puzzled. The land on the west side of Yang Xiaocui’s house was prime land, four acres worth about thirty silver taels, and the two acres of wasteland were worth a few taels. Did they really get nearly forty taels? Xiaocui’s mother agreed to this?
Still confused, she heard her second son say, "I think it’s too little. Our family’s silver, worth ten or so taels, is included in this."
Seeing the expressions of her family, indicating nothing major happened, Yang Ming’s mother decided not to ask further, thinking she’d get the details from her husband that night since they had too much to deal with today.
Just then, Yang Dong asked, "Mom, has she woken up yet?"
Everyone knew what Yang Dong was asking and looked at Yang Ming’s mother, who shook her head worriedly, "Not yet."
Upon hearing this, not only Yang Dong but everyone else’s faces also clouded with concern.
Suddenly, the eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Chun’s wife, spoke up, "Dad, right after Xiaoxiao and the others left, Yang Daniu’s family came and had Doctor Ma visit."
"Yang Daniu is back?"
Yang Chun’s wife nodded, "Yes, Yang Daniu’s mother came to our house crying uncontrollably. I think Yang Daniu is severely injured."
