At this point, seeing Yang Lichun showing off in front of her sisters, Yang Dongzhi felt very upset.
She thought about her eldest sister, who was older than all of them, but still hadnât settled her own marriage affairs. This little brat was only twelve years old, and her grandmother already had plans for her. Although she didnât know which family it was, she overheard that it was a large household in the prefecture. Hmph, if this little brat really married into that household, wouldnât she overshadow her sisters for the rest of their lives?
No, absolutely not!
Yang Dongzhi thought for a moment and then rushed back to her room. She picked up the scissors on the table and trimmed her nails, staring at her sharp, jagged nails, a flicker of green light flashed in her eyes. Then she quickly ran out of the room. Hearing Yang Lichun mocking Yang Ruoqiuâs collapsed nose, she couldnât help herself and reached out to grab Yang Lichun.
"You wretched girl, ridiculing our eldest sister, Iâll ruin your pretty face and see how you show off then!" Yang Dongzhi rushed up quickly, too fast for Yang Lichun, who was still showing off and talking to Yang Ruoqiu, to react.
Yang Lichun only felt a sudden pain in her face, a tearing pain.
Touching her face, it felt wet. She looked at her hand and let out a scream.
"My face, my face, Granny... "
Hearing her crying, Old Lady Hua hurried out of the room. She saw that Yang Lichunâs beautiful face had several bloody scratches, blood dripping down from the top. Old Lady Huaâs vision flashed with anger.
"You damn little hussy, you wicked thing! Wait and see what Iâll do to you." Old Lady Hua cursed and immediately shouted, "Fourth, go and fetch Uncle Cai, quickly!"
"My daughter, my treasure!" Ms. Ye also came out at this moment and saw her daughterâs face. She wailed, "My poor daughter! Look, my husband, when youâre not at home, everyone can bully us mother and daughter. My poor, beautiful girl, if her beauty is ruined, what will we do in the future?"
Already furious, Old Lady Hua heard this and got even more infuriated. "Shut up! Second hasnât died yet, what are you crying for!"
"Exactly, sister-in-law, whatâre you yelling for? Isnât it just a little blood? Kids will fight, and theyâll bleed sometimes. Our husband and your husband fought when they were young too and Second even burned Third with boiling water! Stop overreacting!"
Old Lady Hua was anxious that Yang Lichunâs face would be ruined and affect her honor and wealth. She hadnât even had time to deal with the malicious Yang Dongzhi yet. Hearing Ms. Liu mention Yang Xiaoâanâs injury to Yang Dachuan, Old Lady Huaâs eyes could kill.
Pointing at Ms. Liu, she yelled, "You shut up! If Chunâer is fine, then all is well. If her face is ruined, your precious daughter better prepare to be sold off!"
Ms. Liu sniffed at this and thought that there was no way her daughter would be sold. However, thinking of her mother-in-lawâs ways, she still returned to her room. She pondered for a moment and, when no one was paying attention, gathered her three childrenâs belongings and sent them to her motherâs home.
As for Uncle Cai, who was originally at Yang Chuxiaâs house, he was called over. Upon seeing Yang Lichunâs injury, he shook his head and said, "The wound is rather deep. Iâll clean it and apply some medicine first. However, Iâm afraid itâll leave a scar after it heals. Thereâs not much we can do in this small place. If we could go to a bigger place, there might be a famous doctor who could remove the scar, but that would require a lot of money."
