CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63 - ITCHING FOR A BEATING IF GOING A DAY WITHOUT ONE

Seeing this, Yang Chuxia quickly said, "Mom, let me wash it."

Without waiting for Ms. Wang’s response, Yang Chuxia grabbed the small basin and went to the yard.

The Yang Family had a well in their yard, so there was no need to go out for water or washing. It was said that the well had been built when her grandmother was still alive, and the family’s days were better.

It was almost noon now, and it was Ms. Liu’s turn to cook for the Old Yang Family. She would probably be washing rice and vegetables soon. Seeing Ms. Wang washing the big crabs, Ms. Liu would undoubtedly ask endless questions.

With that shameless look, she might even try to get some crabs from Ms. Wang.

It was better for Chuxia to wash them herself. At least Ms. Liu wouldn’t win against her.

Her concern turned out to be justified because just as she filled the basin with water and squatted down to pick up the brush, Ms. Liu entered the yard with a basket of cucumbers and green vegetables. Seeing the big crabs in Yang Chuxia’s basin, her eyes turned green with envy.

"Oh, what big crabs!", Ms. Liu exclaimed, but Yang Chuxia ignored her.

Seeing this, she continued, "Xiaxia, your family can afford to eat big crabs right after the separation. Looks like you’ve hidden a lot of money before. They say Third is honest, and his wife is gentle, but in my opinion, they’re the most cunning. Who knows how much silver you’ve saved up over the years."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia looked at her coldly, then tossed the brush into the bucket next to her, splashing water all over Ms. Liu’s face.

"Oh! You’re asking for trouble!", Ms. Liu wiped her face and complained angrily.

Yang Chuxia coldly replied, "Don’t be shameless. If you want my crab, just say it. Although I won’t give it to you, I’ll still let you look at it. Stop slandering my parents, or I won’t hold back. Honestly, your rude mouth never changes. Look at the bruises on your face. You’re starting to act up again. Can’t you go a day without being beaten?"

"You, you, you!" Ms. Liu pointed at Yang Chuxia, but couldn’t say a word.

Ms. Liu’s two daughters, who had been listening from the house, quickly came out.

Seeing Yang Chuxia there and their mother’s trembling finger, they blurted out, "You little bitch!"

But before they could finish, Yang Chuxia kicked over Ms. Liu’s vegetable basket and glared at Yang Ruoqiu and Yang Dongzhi. She looked so fierce that they dared not say another word.

In the end, Yang Ruoqiu didn’t have the guts to continue provoking Yang Chuxia.

However, Yang Dongzhi’s eyes lit up when she saw the crabs.

Then she whispered, "Our grandma has been sick, but Third Uncle and Aunt haven’t come to visit. Even though we’ve separated, they should still show some respect."

"My grandma has been dead for many years. Don’t you know?! Are you brain-damaged or something? How can you never remember such important things?" Yang Chuxia glanced at Yang Dongzhi and sarcastically replied without hesitation.

Not only Yang Dongzhi was choked by her words, but Old Lady Hua, who had previously been angered to the point of spitting blood, almost fainted again when she heard her from the house.

Yang Chuxia sneered. Did these mother and daughters think she didn’t know their intentions? All they wanted was to get their hands on her crabs, but she, Yang Chuxia, wasn’t from this world. She couldn’t care less about the ridiculous rules that a stepmother should also be respected like a birth mother.
