But just now, that woman had blocked the way; otherwise, she could have forced Brother An to take his granddaughter with him. Wouldn’t any incidents then be simply too easy to provoke? And if a son is born in the future, wouldn’t the Ye Family still be at the granddaughter’s whim?
However, she will not give up!
"Grandpa Land Officer, has this family broken off relations with our Ye Family?" Yang Chuxia ignored her and directly asked Land Officer Yang.
"Yes, they’ve been broken off for many years, since the generation of Bosheng."
Having seen all manners of people in his lifeti, Land Officer Yang was clear why this family had co—weren’t they just trying to take advantage? And it was unknown where they’d gotten their information from to have the audacity to co and try to benefit from them.
"Since the relations have been broken off, there’s no need to invite them into our house. These days, there are too many people coming to claim kinship. People nowadays really have no sha. Back when the Ye Family was in decline, I never heard of any granduncles or grandaunts coming over. And now, people are coming out of the woodwork."
She had already decided that this family could not be acknowledged, regardless of whether the kinship was severed or not. Just looking at the cunning glint in their eyes made her uncomfortable.
Moreover, since the kinship has been severed, it must an sothing had happened in the past, otherwise, father-in-law would have told Brother An about it. Putting that aside, she didn’t believe for a second that these people were unaware of how miserably Brother An had lived back then. No one ca to visit Brother An when he was down and out, but now that he’s successful, they co to acknowledge kinship? They must be dreaming!
"Granddaughter-in-law, how can you speak like that? You truly lack manners. We are your husband’s elders, after all. Besides, who said our two families have severed ties? It was Ye Bosheng, that stubborn mule, who refused to associate with our family. It wasn’t us who cut off relations with the Ye Family."
She paused before continuing, "What kind of elders co over and are asked questions outside instead of being invited in first?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia let out a cold snort, "You’re mistaken in your words. Both my husband and I are juniors, and since my father-in-law had severed the kinship, my husband and I certainly can’t go against his wishes. So, please forget about being invited inside—it’s neither kinship nor courtesy that brings us here. As for lecturing on manners, I don’t need an old woman like you pointing fingers. Even if I lack manners, I wouldn’t let my granddaughter beco soone’s serving maid."
Having said that, she signaled Sister-in-law Li and the others to prepare to take the child ho.
"Hold on!" The old man from the Cao Family saw her about to leave and hastily called out. When Yang Chuxia turned back, he spoke with a cold tone, "Are you denying our kinship, denying us as your elders?"
Are you sick? We’ve already broken off ties—what acknowledgnt are you talking about?"
Yang Chuxia was becoming fed up with this family. What was the aning of these unrelated people suddenly appearing and being so aggressive?
"Cousin-in-law, my grandfather and grandmother are your elders. The words you just spoke are disrespectful to the elders," finally spoke up Cao Lingling, who had been silent until now. She glanced over Yang Chuxia’s entire body with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. "This Grandpa Land Officer, in our Cao family clan, if a junior disrespects an elder, they would be punished."
Land Officer Yang was left bewildered by her words. Was she suggesting that Xiaxia had been disrespectful to her elders and that he should punish Xiaxia? His mind seed to be turned to mush.
"I say, young lady, you’ve taken a liking to my nephew-in-law, haven’t you?" How could Ms. Luo be absent in such a scene?
Seeing Cao Lingling also pretty and dignified, quite resembling Ms. Hong, Ms. Luo took an imdiate dislike to her. Coupled with her previous remarks, how could she not understand this girl’s intentions?
