At this moment, Land Officer Yang softened a bit. From the beginning to the end, he had detested Old Lady Hua, but he didnât have much against the children. He believed that the reason the children might end up bad was because of Old Lady Hua. Now that Old Lady Hua was dead, he believed that Yang Daâanâs family would get better.
Moreover, to be honest, Yang Daâan was not like Yang Xiaoâan; though he was lazy, he never really did anything particularly malicious. As for Ms. Liu, her poisoning was instigated by Old Lady Hua.
So he asked Old Yang, "What do you think?"
Old Yang thought about it and said, "I never really planned to drive them out. Whoever made the mistake should bear the responsibility." Then he turned to Yang Daâanâs family and said, "You donât need to cry in a hurry. Youâve called me âfatherâ for so many years, and I never treated you as outsiders. The house and land in the family are still decided by me, and I will give you a share. I just hope that you can live a good life from now on and donât think about things you shouldnât."
After Old Yang finished speaking, Land Officer Yang also said, "Thatâs right, if you continue to be the same as before, ignoring whatâs good and bad, I wonât spare you either."
Having received Old Yangâs guarantee, Yang Daâan and Ms. Liu were beyond excited. When they heard what Land Officer Yang had to say, they immediately promised to change their bad habits, including Yunyun.
Yang Xiaochuan was naturally dissatisfied with the outcome. Even though the second branch was gone, there was still one more person to compete with him for the inheritance.
Before he could say anything, Old Yang scolded him.
Yang Chuxia was also unhappy, but she didnât say much. After all, Old Yang had the final say in the Yang Family. If Old Yang agreed, it seemed that she had no other choice. She only spoke up originally to test Old Yangâs attitudeâif he wasnât firm, she would take advantage of it; if he was, she wouldnât mention it.
After Old Lady Huaâs body was sunk in the pond, the Yang Family finally separated. The mother and daughter of the second branch left cleanly, and their share of the inheritance was gone as well.
As for Old Yangâs final residence, although Yang Dachuan wanted him to stay with himself, Old Yang insisted on living with the fourth branch. Yang Dachuan could not understand why.
By the time things finally settled down in the Yang Family, it was getting late.
As for the final outcome of the situation, although it was not perfect, overall, it was still good.
Thinking that she would no longer be bothered by that dead old woman, Ms. Wang felt delighted. With such a good mood, she slept soundly.
The next day, when she lazily woke up, she found that everyone in the family had already finished breakfast.
"Xiaxia, you lazy girl, get up quickly! Your grandfather was looking for you earlier,"
"My grandfather was looking for me?" Yang Chuxia asked in confusion, "Mother, did Grandpa say what he wanted?"
Ms. Wang shook her head, "He didnât say."
"Oh, then Iâll go find him later." She quickly washed up, grabbed two pancakes, and walked out the door while eating.
When she arrived at Old Yangâs house, Yang Chuxia shouted, "Grandpa?"
Old Yang came out of the principal wifeâs room and said, "Grandpa, my mother said you were looking for me?"
Old Yang nodded, "Letâs go."
Yang Chuxia raised her eyebrows, wondering where to go. However, it was apparent that Old Yang didnât plan to tell her. So she just followed him.
As she walked, she realized the place looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was the road leading to her biological motherâs grave.
When they finally arrived at the place, Old Yang stopped and said, "I know you donât want the first branchâs family to stay, feeling theyâre taking what should be yours. But as a grandfather, Iâve raised them for so long, and I really canât bear to see their whole family homeless."
