Ms. Luo was choked by Ms. Hong’s comnt and then began to contemplate the matter of the marriage certificate. However, when she waited until the evening to discuss it with Yang Xiaochuan, he kept making excuses: he was busy, had to work in the fields, or his third brother was looking for him—in short, he had no ti to deal with it.
Ms. Hong was ecstatic, while Ms. Luo herself was furious. She decided to seek out Land Officer Yang the next day. She didn’t dare to bother Old Yang again; if she upset him and caused him to fall ill, they could forget about finalizing the marriage contract.
There was another person intending to find Land Officer Yang with the sa idea, and that was Auntie Li.
During the day at the fourth branch of the family, Auntie Li had been deeply provoked. All the items were of excellent quality. Take the cloth, for example—it was fine cotton, significantly better than what was sold in town in terms of both pattern and fabric. And the pastries—Ms. Luo, that stingy woman, had not let her have even a slice. Not to ntion the embroidered silk, which was truly beautiful. She wasn’t too old yet, only a few years older than Ms. Wang, and she could wear those flowers. Even if she couldn’t wear them, they would look lovely just displayed at ho.
These items had co from the palace. The palace—what kind of place was that? Not just anyone could have things from there. Having items from the palace would change the status of her household.
So, she thought of her daughter-in-law, Li Chun. Although they were the grandchildren of Burly Lu, they had grown up in the Yang Family and always called Old Yang ’Grandpa’. Even now, no one had officially changed their surna.
Auntie Li found rit in Ms. Luo’s words from today. Before, Li Chun and Yang Chuxia were indeed cousins, and Yang Xiao’an had called Old Yang ’Dad’ his entire life. She couldn’t believe Old Yang wouldn’t have any affection for children he had raised for most of their lives.
Now that the second branch’s grandchildren were not faring well, wouldn’t he feel pity for them if she ntioned it to Old Yang?
Then, taking the opportunity to reclaim kinship, it would be best to move back into the Yang Family. Oh, the relationship with the third branch would change, and by extension, the relationship between the Li Family and the third branch would change as well.
Auntie Li spent her walk ho pondering over this and decided to discuss it with her daughter-in-law once she got back.
When she arrived ho, she saw Li Chun eating sour plums, one after another with great relish. Auntie Li herself almost felt her teeth ache from the sourness.
Turns out, Li Chun was pregnant. She had married Li Anshun the year before last, shocking the villagers profoundly. No one expected two such unrelated individuals to take a fancy to each other.
In the past, Li Chun had so feelings for Ye Zi’an, so her being beaten by Yang Chuxia until her forehead blossod was known to everyone in the village. Yet unexpectedly, later Li Chun’s affections shifted, favoring Li Anshun who used to work alongside his father outside.
Speaking of Li Anshun, he wasn’t bad-looking, and he used to be a good worker. That he took a liking to Li Chun caused many girls to sigh in disappointnt.
At that ti, Auntie Li disagreed and vehently opposed the match. But she couldn’t win over the stubborn Li Anshun, who seed desperate for marriage at ho. Helplessly, she consented.
She thought, once Li Chun entered their ho, she would see how to deal with this daughter-in-law of hers. However, she seriously underestimated Li Chun’s character. If she dared to leave the Yang Family with Ms. Ye, she was not to be trifled with or seen as weak. She was not going to take any nonsense from Auntie Li, which led to constant quarrels in the Li household, with small argunts every three days and big ones every nine.
Moreover, Li Chun did not beco pregnant for a long ti after the marriage, which had lasted a year or two. This infuriated Auntie Li, who demanded every day that Li Anshun divorce his wife.
