After speaking, Yang Xiaochuan took another big bite of meat and said, "Eat, give our daughter another piece of meat, finish it all, and donât leave any leftovers."
The third branch of the family ate happily, seemingly forgetting the noisy group of people in the main room. However, this was in line with Yang Xiaochuanâs selfish
nature.
When Old Lady Hua finished scolding Yang Daâanâs family and remembered the dish that Yang Chuxia had sent over, she uncovered the bowl to find it empty, and at once, anger shot through her head, causing her to faint on the spot.
This scared both Yang Daâanâs couple and Yang Xiaochuanâs couple.
So they quickly called Uncle Cai, who entered the Yang Family for the second time that day. He shook his head while looking at Old Lady Huaâs pale face, thinking that the Yang Family really couldnât have a quiet day.
It wasnât until the next morning, when Auntie Li came to visit, that Yang Chuxia learned about Old Lady Huaâs illness. After hearing the news, the corner of her mouth twitched with a feeling of karmic retribution.
"Alright, are you two ready?" Yang Chuxia didnât care about Old Lady Huaâs condition at all. She didnât have time to worry about it, either, because she had already promised to send her younger brothers to school. They hadnât had a chance to go before due to various family matters, but now that the house was moved and the guests were treated, it was time for her brothers to go to school.
"Ready!" Both brothers came out wearing brand-new clothes, each carrying a cloth bag made by Ms. Wang with stationery inside.
Seeing the brothers dressed like this, Auntie Li asked, "Where are you guys heading?"
"Aunt, my sister is sending us to the school in Liâs Village."
"Oh, going to school?" Auntie Li knew about the school in Liâs Village; people of Yangshu Village had to pass through Liâs Village when going to the town. It was just the village in front of Yangshu Village, not more than a few miles apart. Previously, children from families who could afford to read went there to study.
Even though it was not a school in the town, even a village school would still require a considerable amount of tuition fees every year.
"Are both of them going?" Auntie Li asked again, afraid that the tuition fees for both brothers would cost several silver coins. The third branch of the Yang Family must be really rich â they built a house, bought a cow and cart, and they were now sending their children to school, both at once.
"Yes, itâs better for them to learn a few words than being completely illiterate. Aunt, please sit down while I take them to the school." Yang Chuxia didnât say much more to Auntie Li. Seeing that her younger brothers were ready, she bade goodbye to Auntie Li, and the three siblings went to school together.
Upon arriving at the school, the teacher was quite surprised to see the two brothers brought by their sister. But when he heard that the three siblings were from Yangshu Village, he frowned.
His frown deepened particularly when he heard Yang Chuxiaâs name.
"So youâre the famous hot-tempered girl from Yangshu Village? I heard youâre disrespectful to your grandmother and elders, and only good at getting into fights?"
Yang Chuxia was also somewhat taken aback, not expecting her story to spread to another village. However, it made sense, considering the villages were not far apart, and some gossipy people would spread the news. It was just that the teacherâs words seemed to be quite judgmental of her.
Yang Chuxia felt a flash of displeasure in her heart. If it had been anyone else, she would have retorted sharply, but knowing that this man would have to teach her two younger brothers, she held back her dissatisfaction.
