No, his approach doesn’t seem like avenging his son at all, it’s more like it’s for himself.
After so thought, Yang Chuxia asked again, "What kind of in-laws did you find for her?"
Ye Zi’an snorted coldly and said, "At the south end of Mianyang Street, there’s a blacksmith, a widower that I think is quite suitable for her. The guy isn’t bad-looking, just a bit too strong. For soone like her, you need soone strong; otherwise, she can’t be tad."
"That doesn’t sound right. From what you’re saying, it sounds like you found her a good family to marry into. Does this sound like revenge to you?"
"What’s the rush?" Ye Zi’an slowly sipped his tea before saying faintly, "That widower blacksmith loves to drink, and when he’s drunk, he loves to beat people. It’s said that the two wives before her were beaten to death by him. That woman likes to beat people, right? Let her give it a try and see who can beat whom."
Yang Chuxia understood; it turned out that he had found her a man with a severe dostic violence issue.
"That woman won’t agree, will she?" Yang Chuxia thought for a mont before speaking. Although the woman wasn’t very smart, she was selective, and I’m afraid ordinary n wouldn’t catch her eye.
"Her agreent isn’t necessary, only the old widower’s consent is needed. Besides, once the deed is done, what can she do? Her aunt is eager to marry her off as soon as possible."
"That’s for the best! Serves her right for being nosy." After a pause, she added, "But she’s also quite a character."
To Yang Chuxia, the fat girl was nothing short of repulsive, especially after hearing about the things she did, a true fighter among eccentrics, even eyeing her own uncle. If it were her daughter, she’d rather strangle her herself.
Looking at it this way, Brother An did do sothing good, at least it was for the betternt of her aunt’s household.
"Tonight, Lele and Yangyang will sleep with us." Yangyang had been beaten during the day, and she was worried that he would get frightened and start to cry again at night.
Upon hearing that they could sleep with their parents, the two little ones looked towards Ye Zi’an in unison.
They knew very well that their father didn’t like to sleep with them.
Ye Zi’an saw the hopeful eyes of the two children and eventually did not refuse, nodding his head.
Then, Yangyang said in his childish voice, "I’m not mad at you anymore."
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia burst into laughter, scratched her son’s little head, and said, "Son, you really give in too easily, huh? A little thing like this, and you’re no longer angry with Daddy?"
Ye Zi’an also laughed. The boy was amusing indeed and would probably beco even more interesting as he grew older.
"Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s sleep early tonight; I have to go out tomorrow."
"Okay, I’ll ask soone to bring in so water."
All throughout the night, Yang Chuxia was worried that Yangyang would be scared by the day’s events, occasionally waking up to check on him.
It wasn’t until the next day when she woke up to Yangyang’s cheerful, smiling eyes that she finally put her mind at ease.
"Are you still sleeping?"
Yangyang shook his head, then climbed out of bed, and got off the bed.
"Mom, clothes?"
Yang Chuxia asked why he was wandering around after getting off the bed. "Are you going to dress yourself? Wait for to get your clothes."
Lele also woke up, rubbed his eyes, and on seeing that Ye Zi’an wasn’t on the bed, he asked, "Where’s Daddy?"
"You’re awake too?" Yang Chuxia took the opportunity to fetch his clothes as well and said, "Your father left early this morning and probably won’t be back until the evening."
Ye Zi’an had long been up and gone out. It was said that today soone would be sent to prepare materials for the dike repairs. He had to lead people to check how high the dike should be repaired, and furthermore, he was also considering slightly widening the river channel before the dike repairs began.
