Chapter 912: 912 slant clear of involvent
“Mind your own business,” said Mrs. Liu Zheng, “My daughter’s reputation is ruined because of Chuan. If she doesn’t marry Chuan, who else would take her?”
“That shaless daughter of yours, if she really can marry Chuan, that would be her good fortune,” another person nearby said, “the worry is whether Chuan himself would want your daughter…”
With a snort, Mrs. Liu Zheng inquired about how much private property Yuchuan had acquired and then, twisting her aged hips, she left.
As the Xiao Family walked back ho, villagers occasionally greeted them; the family responded with only faint acknowledgnts, as if to fulfill an obligation.
This showed that the division of the family hadn’t brought them much happiness.
Yuchuan was pushing Qinghe’s wheelchair, his steps heavy.
Yishan also wore a look of sternness.
Though they were heading ho, the three of them felt that the ho they were returning to was no longer the sa as before.
The moon hung on the treetops.
Walking on the village road, from a distance, Yishan saw Li Rong’er waiting at the entrance, looking around in anticipation.
Seeing her beautiful face, a sudden warmth surged through him.
At the sa ti, he felt a tinge of complexity.
He understood that if the new house had not been completed, his wife would not have ntioned dividing the family; if he hadn’t brought Li Rong’er back, the family would not have been split up.
There was a bit of resentnt, and yet he felt it wasn’t Rong’er’s fault.
So, Yishan accepted it.
“Brother Xiao, is the family division settled?” she asked eagerly, “There weren’t any changes, right?”
Looking at her anxious face, Yishan asked, “What, are you afraid I won’t get any money?”
Of course, Li Rong’er was scared, but she wouldn’t admit that out loud. “No, I’m just concerned about you.”
Yuchuan said sarcastically, “Humph, that sounds sweet. If my second brother had no money, would you stay with him?”
“Of course,” Li Rong’er answered, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
“Enough, third brother,” Yishan said impatiently, “I know what kind of woman Rong’er is better than you do. There’s no need for you to target her at every turn!”
“Fine,” Yuchuan sneered, “anyway, from now on we’ll shut our doors and each live our own life.”
Yishan’s face turned chill, “Do you think I’ll live worse than you?” A cold smile crept onto his lips, “Without relying on Yue’er’s money, you’re not necessarily more capable than .”
Yuchuan, looking at his second brother’s resolute face, felt a sense of loss, “Second brother, why did you beco like this?”
“Beco what exactly?” Yishan was quite displeased.
“I never intended to outdo you. The third brother sincerely hopes that you have a good life,” he sighed softly. He just didn’t trust that woman, Li Rong’er. He was also clear that his second brother got the fields thanks to his and Qinghe’s goodwill.
Although his feelings were complicated, he left it at that.
He knew well that if his second brother had no fields, he would probably end up alone for the rest of his life.
Moreover, a wife is a priceless treasure; to disassociate from his second brother for more than 500 taels was also a good deal.
“You needn’t worry about my affairs!” Yishan was very frustrated.
“Second brother, third brother, stop arguing,” Qinghe said calmly, “Even after dividing the house, we are still a family. Later, living in the sa courtyard, we should continue to live in harmony.”
Yishan thus fell silent and turned to ask Li Rong’er, “Is dinner ready?”
Li Rong’er’s face turned pale, “Brother Xiao, I… I forgot.” In fact, she was scared that Yishan would have a change of heart and suddenly not want the fields, which had frightened her into forgetting about making dinner. But to admit it would an revealing her vain side, so she said nothing more.
