Chapter 432 - 433: Your Mother is the Village Belle

"Brother An, what are you doing?" Yang Dachuan saw Ye Zi’an kneeling on the ground and became anxious.

"Why are you kneeling, child?" Ms. Wang also came over to help him get up.

"Uncle and Auntie, that pearl is very valuable, but Xiaxia used it for me, and I didn’t stop her..."

"Brother An!" Yang Dachuan cut Ye Zi’an off, "We’re family, what’s your relationship with Xiaxia? It’s just a pearl, right? As long as your leg gets better and you can live a good life with Xiaxia, your aunt and I will be satisfied."

"That’s right, child, get up. A son-in-law is like half a son, and it’s worth using such a pearl for our son. Even if we’re reluctant, we have to do it." Ms. Wang, a typical mother-in-law, looked more and more pleased with Zi’an. "I don’t know how valuable that pearl is, but the last one Xiaxia sold fetched more than a hundred taels of silver. Exchanging a hundred taels for my son-in-law’s leg is worth it. Although it hurts our heart to part with it, we must use it when necessary."

"Mother, you really have a deep understanding. I am so impressed with you," said Yang Chuxia sincerely. It was indeed not easy for Ms. Wang, a countrywoman, to be so considerate.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I will treat Xiaxia well for the rest of my life. She’s more important to me than my own life."

"Good, good, Auntie can rest assured now."

"Mother, you are really so kind!" Yang Chuxia added another compliment.

Yang Dachuan chimed in with Yang Chuxia’s praise, "Your mother is the best in our village."

"Yes, my mother is reasonable, kind, and beautiful."

"Yes, your mother was the most beautiful girl in their village back then," said Yang Dachuan with a simple and honest touch to his head, blushing.

Yang Chuxia exclaimed, "No wonder I’m also pretty!"

"Pei!" Ms. Wang felt a bit embarrassed by the compliments from her daughter and husband. She tapped Yang Chuxia’s forehead, "You shameless girl, who praises their own beauty like that? Don’t think I won’t hold you responsible for using that pearl without my permission. Because you used that pearl, there won’t be any dowry for you."

"No way, Mother!" Yang Chuxia cried out, "My dowry! My dear mother, you can’t be so heartless!"

"Father, look at Mother, she’s withholding my dowry!" Seeing Ms. Wang ignoring her, she then turned to Yang Dachuan for help.

Both Yang Dachuan and Ye Zi’an didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Ms. Wang turned her head and glared at her, "I’ve never seen someone like you who begs for their own dowry."

"Hehe" Yang Chuxia touched her face and gave a dry laugh.

She thought to herself, isn’t she just trying to make her mother laugh and forget about the pearl, lest her mother feels unhappy about it?

When Ms. Wang went into the kitchen, and her figure disappeared, Yang Chuxia turned to Yang Dachuan and said, "Father, thank you just now, otherwise I would really be afraid that Mother would get angry."

"Heh, what is there for you to be afraid of?" Yang Dachuan patted her head, "It’s okay, although your mother sometimes has the opinion of a typical woman, she knows what is important. But next time something like this happens, you need to tell your mother in advance."

"Yes, Father, I understand. I was at fault this time."
