CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: LAND OFFICER’S FORCED SEPARATION OF THE FAMILY

"Uncle Cai, Uncle Cai, please take a look at my brother; my sister-in-law kicked him." Then she saw Yang Xiayun dragging Uncle Cai over to look at Yang Qingrui, and she sneered at Yang Chuxia when she turned back.

Damn, Yang Chuxia was touched. She thought this little sister was just a clueless little kid, but she turned out to be quite a cunning one. To think of it, children her age matured early and understood things at five, like knowing that they need to see a doctor when they get kicked.

Oh, I digress, back to the story. Uncle Cai first checked Yang Qingrui and then took out some medicine from the basket and gave it to Ms. Wang. Finally, he picked up the medicine bag handed over by Yang Chuxia and took a look and sniffed it.

"This is arsenic, and a heavily concentrated one at that."

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Ms. Liu is so vicious."

"Wasn’t it Old Lady Hua who told her to do it?"

"Anyway, both the mother and daughter-in-law are vicious; better stay away from them in the future."

"My cousin’s uncle’s family just said they were interested in their Ruoqiu, but this won’t work! I have to go tell my second cousin’s uncle’s family immediately; we can’t have a marriage alliance with them."

"That’s right. If the mother is so vicious, who knows if the daughter inherited that trait or not?"

"That’s what I’m saying!"

At this time, Ms. Wang was completely dumbfounded when she heard it was arsenic. As soon as she recovered, she charged again at Ms. Liu and started fighting.

Yang Dachuan was also dumbfounded. He looked at Old Lady Hua and then at Liu and Wang, who resumed fighting. He was teary-eyed like a man expressing sympathy. It was hard not to pity him.

Yang Chuxia thought to herself that the poisoning incident had already given Xiaxia’s mother leverage, and seeing Yang Dachuan’s expression, it seemed his feelings were deeply affected. Maybe it was time to give them another heavy blow, so that Yang Dachuan could completely be disappointed in those people.

"Grandpa Land Officer, please help the third branch of our Yang family. My step-grandmother and sister-in-law tried to poison me today, tomorrow they may poison my big brother, and then my younger brother and sister, and then my parents... Grandpa Land Officer, we can’t go on like this. This isn’t the first time my step-grandmother has tried to kill me. Just a few days ago, she tried to suffocate me with a pillow too."

Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this.

Someone asked, "Auntie Hua, what exactly did your granddaughter do to upset you that you keep trying to kill her? She may not be your biological granddaughter, but you were still around as she grew up. How can you be so cruel?"

"Yes, Old Lady Hua, you’re too cruel. How could you do this to such a good child? You must stand up for Xiaxia, have some mercy on her." Land Officer Yang’s wife also chimed in.

Seeing this, Land Officer Yang sighed, "By right, I shouldn’t be the one to say this. However, looking at the mess your family has become, there’s no peace left. Living under the same roof isn’t going to be any easier. In my opinion, you should just split the family up. After the separation, everyone can live their own lives, not bother anybody, and have some peace."

"No, absolutely not! I disagree!" As soon as Land Officer Yang finished speaking, Old Lady Hua jumped out, and she adamantly opposed the idea of separation. "I absolutely will not agree to separate! Old man, I dare you to agree to the separation!"

Old Yang, hearing this, hesitated, "No separation, no separation!"

Enraged, Land Officer Yang kicked him impulsively, "Look at you, you damn fool! You don’t want to separate? Do you really want to be happy with that hag killing all your own children and grandchildren? I didn’t agree with you bringing back this kind of trouble in the first place. You’ve acted like an idiot, not caring whether she’s good or bad. This wicked woman has been oppressing Dachuan’s family for so many years. As your hall uncle, I was in a difficult position to say anything. Today, the situation has come to killing someone. No matter what, I’m going to make you separate!"
