As for the relatives, those close by got the news the next day, while those farther away had heard by the third day.
Ms. Liu Junior’s maternal family ca to pay their respects on the third day; it was her elder brother and younger brother who ca.
Ms. Liu Junior’s elder brother had no idea about the incident and did not know that the death of Land Officer Yang’s wife was related to their family, so he was quite angry when he was driven away by Yang Dayong upon arriving.
However, he only thought Yang Dayong did it because Land Officer Yang’s wife had been pushed and bled on that day.
Speaking of which, Ms. Liu Junior’s elder brother felt very ashad. Their mother had pushed soone yet did not visit to inquire after the incident. Not only that, but she also wouldn’t allow the younger generation to visit, and he had no idea what his mother was thinking.
It was Ms. Liu Junior’s younger brother who sensed sothing was amiss; he felt that Land Officer Yang’s wife must have been angered to death by his sister, but why wouldn’t the Yang Family let them in at this ti? Could it be that the Yang Family had discovered that his sister had caused the woman’s death? No way, his sister couldn’t be that foolish, could she?
So he insisted on seeing Ms. Liu Junior!
When they refused to let him see her, he made a fuss at the door, but who was he to cause a scene at this ti? Thus, Yang Dayong had his n beat and drive him away with a heavy hand.
Thinking of why his own mother had died made Yang Dayong instruct the young n to be especially forceful.
In any case, by the ti the brothers Liu were let go, they were bruised and swollen, although Ms. Liu Junior’s elder brother fared slightly better.
Ms. Liu Junior’s elder brother was far from happy about this; he grumbled all the way ho. These people from the Yang Family were too shaless; at such a ti, they were still holding a grudge over past events.
However, when he got ho and heard what his mother and brother’s wife said, he froze, stupefied.
No wonder they were beaten—the deceased had t her end with their family’s involvent?
Ms. Liu Junior’s younger brother then said, "Mother, what do you think we should do?"
Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law also said, "Exactly, Mother, if the Yang Family finds out, will Second Sister rat you and the brother-in-law out?"
Ms. Liu, with a nonchalant glance at the two, snorted, "What are you so panicked about? It wasn’t you who angered her to death; whoever did it will be responsible. Even if it gets out, if you deny it to the death, what can the Old Master officials do to you?"
Suddenly, the eyes of the two brightened.
However, Ms. Liu Junior’s elder brother felt this was absurd; his mother intended for the Second Sister to take responsibility alone.
He thought about persuading his mother, who did not give him a chance to speak at all.
anwhile at Land Officer Yang’s ho, as the weather grew hotter, they did not keep the body for seven days, but buried her after just five days at ho.
It was after Land Officer Yang’s wife’s burial when the whole family gathered at Land Officer Yang’s ho, discussing how to deal with the matter.
"Father, I want to report this to the authorities, and not only that, I want to divorce my wife!"
Land Officer Yang, being supported while seated in a chair, appeared sowhat weak, "Are you sure about this?"
"I am sure. A woman with such malicious intent cannot be kept. I really was blind to have fallen for such a person," Yang Dayong lanted, truly hating himself at that mont.
"Do as you wish. If you are certain, your father will support you," Land Officer Yang sighed.
At that mont, his heart was not only filled with sorrow but also with worry because his old wife had passed away and his eldest son had not co back. Despite sending a ssage, he should have returned before the funeral. But to no avail, there was still no word by now, and he feared sothing might have happened.
"Uncle Dayong, if we report this to the authorities, Ms. Liu Junior will likely be convicted, but the Liu Family people may not be,"
