Ms. Hong’s words sohow reached Old Yang, and he had the audacity to repeat them in front of everyone; it was as if he was completely tearing away his own dignity.
It was also a ssage to Auntie Li that Yang Baozi would never acknowledge Burly Lu’s grandson, not to ntion himself, even the younger mbers of the Yang Family couldn’t afford to, otherwise how could they face Old Yang?
Clearly, Auntie Li wasn’t foolish enough to misunderstand the implication.
So, she left the Yang Family’s place in a rather downcast manner.
Yang Chuxia was worried that Old Yang might be upset by reminiscing about the past, but he seed unaffected.
"Lele and Yangyang have grown again!"
Old Yang hadn’t seen the two little ’buns’ for so ti, children change every day.
"Grandpa, aren’t you tired of standing? Why don’t you sit down; I’ll put Yangyang and Lele in the car with you," Yang Chuxia suggested upon seeing him trembling.
A man who wasn’t even sixty yet, just in his fifties, seed as if his life was burning out like a dwindling oil lamp.
"Alright, I’ll sit down," Old Yang responded, then added, "Bring the kids over more often for to see."
Old Yang thought to himself that he wouldn’t be able to see his great-grandson, only his great-granddaughter.
"Alright, I’ll bring them over every other day."
"This Lele resembles Brother An, and Yangyang resembles Xiaxia," Old Yang said while shaking a rattle drum to catch the children’s attention.
"Grandpa, why does everyone say that? Why can’t I see who they resemble?" Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but wonder if it was indeed because she spent every day with the children.
"How can you not see it? Take a closer look at their eyes. Lele’s eyes are sowhat elongated, Yangyang’s are a bit round. When they grow up, you’ll be able to tell more clearly. Right now, their cheeks are chubby, and their eyes don’t stand out, so it’s normal not to see it."
Yang Chuxia thought it might indeed be because of the fleshiness of their faces that she felt both little ’buns’ looked the sa.
However, their characters did seem to align, with Lele resembling Brother An, while Yangyang resembled her.

As for Auntie Li, she left the Yang Family with a gloomy face and ran into Ms. Luo by the old residence, who gave her a dose of sarcasm that only fueled her anger.
Returning ho, she quarreled fiercely with Yang Lichun, complaining that all her running around was for the sake of Yang Liqing and Yang Qingwen, the siblings. Yet while she was out and about, they kept out of sight, and Yang Qingwen didn’t even visit Old Yang and so on.
Upon hearing this, Yang Lichun wouldn’t have it. "You wanted to run around on your own, no one asked you to, isn’t it just because you fancied soone else’s things?"
The two of them quarreled back and forth, which ended up causing Yang Lichun to suffer from distress related to her pregnancy.
When the Li Family fathers and sons returned, the house was turned upside down.
Especially after Uncle Li heard about Auntie Li’s recent doings, he returned to find his daughter-in-law so upset that it affected her pregnancy. That set things off, and in trying to discipline her physically, he broke Auntie Li’s leg by accident.
After this, it was all about seeing doctors and getting dicine, making life even tougher for the Li Family.
When the news spread through the village, everyone had the sa thought: You reap what you sow, who else is there to bla? A perfectly good ho had been ruined by her own actions.
The Yang Family, on their part, heard the news too, but it didn’t affect them much.
As usual, Ye Zi’an read the Three Character Classic to the children, played with the Eldest, teased the Second, and enjoyed so sweet monts with the children’s mother. Life couldn’t be more satisfying.
