CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44 DUAL THREATS SETTLING THE SEPARATION

Cousin? So Land Officer Yang is Old Yang’s cousin? Yang Chuxia was overjoyed, this was a great development!

Seeing Land Officer Yang’s firm stance, Old Lady Hua didn’t hold back either. She sat down and began to weep loudly. "Good heavens, is there any justice left? Does Land Officer Yang hold so much power that he can interfere with a family’s separation? Oh my god, this is outright bullying, you watch this, Old man. Dachuan, you’re a disaster, I’ve raised you and you stand by while they divide the house, you’re unfilial and cruel. Why doesn’t heaven strike you dead? Yang Chuxia, you little bastard, you’re the curse that causes our family’s discord."

Old Lady Hua cursed a bunch of people, switching from one person to another.

Land Officer Yang’s face turned red with indignation and his anger intensified. He shouted, "Go, invite the elders of the Yang Family to me. I can’t believe this. You think I don’t understand you? You don’t want to divide the house because you want Dachuan and his wife to be your slaves, hah! Today, as his cousin, I’ll support Dachuan. This house must be divided."

"No, I disagree. I refuse even if I die. Damn old man, won’t you say anything?" Seeing Land Officer Yang resolute, Old Lady Hua disregarded her tears, climbed up from the ground, and started beating Old Yang, insisting that he should intervene.

"Grandmother, whether you agree or disagree, we must divide the house today. Not to mention that it’s my grandpa who has decision authority here, not you! And even if you were in charge, you, as the mastermind of the scheme against your granddaughter, have no right to interfere. Plus, you really don’t care about my second uncle continuing his studies? If you really don’t care, then I need to have a good talk with everyone!"

Yang Chuxia stared straight into Old Lady Hua’s eyes, her threat clearly visible. Old Lady Hua met her gaze and suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. She let go of Old Yang, having forgotten about this issue entirely.

At this point, Dachuan also knelt before Old Yang panting, "Dad, just agree to the division, ok? I’ll still be dutiful to you afterward!"

Wow, Yang Chuxia opened her eyes wide. Her father had finally been pushed to his limit, and was now agreeing to a division. That was tough!

Seeing that Dachuan’s family also agreed to the division, Land Officer Yang felt relieved. They were all following his plan, or else he would have felt awkward being the only one advocating for the division.

"Alright, Third, no need to kneel before your father anymore. Whether your father agrees or disagrees, your cousin will make a decision for you today. When the family elders arrive, we can discuss together." Land Officer Yang’s gaze skipped over Old Yang and fell on Old Lady Hua. "Gather your property deeds and money for an even distribution to the fourth branch of the family. Don’t even think about keeping everyone together anymore. We’re always quarrelling and it’s become something of a spectacle. I’m informing you now, if you don’t agree, take your family and leave Yangshu Village. When I agreed to let your sons settle in our village, it was because I thought you would take care of Dachuan. Hmph, if I had known you’d behave like this, I never would have agreed."

With things having reached this stage, the situation was no longer under Old Lady Hua’s control. The family had to separate. With threats from Yang Chuxia in front and Land Officer Yang behind her, even if she didn’t agree, she had to. As for Old Yang’s opinion, it could be ignored. Besides, given his character, he wouldn’t have any objections.
