Chapter 225 Mother and Daughter Complaint
Yang Nian'er handed the fifty taels of silver to her elder sister and said aggrievedly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You might as well keep it for yourself instead of buying him a belly with this money."
Yang Pan'er accepted it gratefully and sobbed, "Third sister, you are still young and don't know how important it is to have a son."
"I don't understand, or you're just stupid! If he has a son, he's his, what does it have to do with you? Just wait for them to bully you. When you're old and their mother comes looking for you again, you won't even have a place to bury your tears."
"Nian'er!"
Lu Mingyang interrupted his sister and asked, "Sister, how old are you? Why do you want to find someone to have a child?"
Yang Paner cried, "After his father died, I thought my hard times were over, but I didn't expect him to become more and more violent towards me. He even ignored his mother when she beat me. One time, I couldn't help myself and pushed her down, and he beat me. Since then, he has beaten me whenever he's not happy."
Yang Nian'er was surprised: "Wasn't he very nice to you?"
Originally, it was because his eldest sister was beautiful. But after killing his father, he attributed all his guilt to his eldest sister, and naturally he disliked her more and more.
Lu Mingyang didn't know how to comfort his elder sister, so he handed her a handkerchief.
"Men are not all like this, easily bored with the old and easily attracted to the new." Yang Pan'er obviously didn't realize the real reason and continued, "Everything else is fine, I can change. But every time I see blood, he beats me, complaining that I've eaten for nothing for another month and wasted food instead of laying eggs."
"I just thought that having a child would be enough. I secretly consulted a doctor, who said that I was deficient in Qi and blood, and my uterus was cold, making it unsuitable for conception. I didn't expect him to hear it. If Dad hadn't had some money at the time, he would have divorced me long ago."
Yang Nian'er said, "Just give up, who cares about him?"
"You're talking nonsense again." Yang Pan'er was anxious. "If I get divorced, how can I hold my head up in the village?"
Yang Nian'er said, "Then let's not go back. You and I will sell the drinks here, and we can spend the money we earn ourselves."
"What do you know? I won't play tricks with you." Yang Pan'er started crying again.
I don't know when my father will be back. It seems that I can't leave today. Lu Mingyang listened to his elder sister's crying and said, "Sister, don't worry. I will take you to see a doctor later. The doctors in Beijing are definitely better than those at home."
Yang Pan'er looked at her second sister and burst into tears. If she hadn't been forced to do so, who would be willing to support her husband and another woman's child?
The room was filled with sadness when Yang's mother walked in with a smile on her face, wearing a fur coat, holding a piece of silk in her hands, and with hairpins in her hair.
"Xi'er, are these for me?"
After living together for more than ten years, Lu Mingyang had never seen his mother so happy before, and he smiled and nodded.
"Great!" Yang's mother was full of fighting spirit: "I will wear them back and piss off that old woman and that old bitch to death."
The old woman and the old bitch she was talking about were naturally Grandma and Second Aunt. Yang Nian'er also echoed: "Yes, they will be pissed off to death."
Lu Mingyang suddenly regretted buying so many things. If his father wanted to save face for his grandmother, there would be a quarrel and crying.
"Mom, tell me how you used the three hundred taels."
Speaking of this, Yang's mother looked embarrassed: "Your father had money, so he held a three-day and three-night buffet in the village, and later renovated the house. This cost a lot of money, and he also wanted to take a concubine."
"Other families could get a concubine for just a few taels of silver, but he insisted on finding a beautiful one. He used many matchmakers and finally found one in a brothel."
"Can our family afford to support that prostitute? She wants this to eat, that to wear, and when she gets pregnant, she's even more demanding. And she still makes me serve her like a nanny. Your father is also partial to her."
As she spoke, Yang's mother started crying.
"Your father bought a few acres of land, but he didn't farm it himself. He hired people to do it. Year after year, he didn't make any money. He even tried to learn business from someone, but he lost everything."
"Your father finally came to his senses and wanted to live a good life, but that concubine, seeing that the family's silver was about to be gone, took away the remaining fifty taels and ran off with another man."
"That wild man was the one who did business with your father. Your father couldn't bear the blow and gambled away everything in the family. In the end, he lost everything, including all the land in the family."
"We really have no way to survive, so we came to you."
Lu Mingyang patted his mother lightly. His mother was also pitiful. Her family was rich, but she didn't enjoy the good life. Her family was poor, so she suffered.
"Don't make you sound so pitiful!" Although Yang Nian'er felt sorry for her mother, she couldn't bear to see this scene. She sneered, "Didn't you secretly give money to your uncle?"
"Child, we're all family. Shouldn't I give it to your uncle? Besides, I didn't give him much." Mother Yang threw herself into Lu Mingyang's arms, crying, "Xi'er, those three hundred taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it's actually really hard to spend."
"If you can't ban the flowers, give them back to me!" Yang Nian'er was too lazy to look at her mother again.
She wasn't actually feeling sorry for the money; she felt her mother's misery was her own fault. She was a coward who always obeyed her father. Her only act of resistance was even more foolish, secretly giving money to her uncle.
Lu Mingyang wiped away his mother's tears and asked, "Did my father tell you why he went to see my cousin?"
Mother Yang hurriedly shook her head.
"princess!"
Zheng Hao's voice echoed, and everyone turned toward the courtyard. Zheng Hao, escorting Zhang Fengshou in, reported, "This fellow redeemed the coral string and tried to sell it at a jewelry store, but I stopped him on the spot."
As he spoke, he pulled out a coral necklace from Zhang Fengshou's arms and presented it to Yang Nian'er. She wore this coral necklace every day and it was incredibly familiar to her. As soon as her hand touched it, Yang Nian'er's eyes suddenly changed: "Fake!"
"How is this possible?" Zheng Hao hurriedly took it back and bit one of them into pieces. It was obviously dyed with stone powder. Furious, he grabbed Zhang Fengshou's collar and shouted angrily, "Really?"
Zhang Fengshou begged for mercy: "This is what I redeemed."
Before he came back, Lu Mingyang had the shop assistant inform Zheng Hao that her brother-in-law wouldn't have time to fake it. She asked Zheng Hao, "Have you been keeping an eye on him?"
"I rushed over immediately after hearing your order." Zheng Hao came to his senses and said angrily, "Asshole, how dare you trick me into the Ningyuan Palace?"
As he spoke, he once again carried the wailing Zhang Fengshou to the pawnshop. Not long after, another string of coral appeared in Yang Nian'er's hands.
Zheng Hao asked, "Miss Nian'er, do you think this is true?"
Yang Nian'er nodded and carefully wrapped it around her wrist. If it was really as her second sister said, she had to return it to Brother Wei as soon as possible.
Lu Mingyang looked at Zhang Fengshou, whose mouth was bruised, and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you see how I got this string of coral beads back?"
Zhang Fengshou nodded with his head down. He had been talking for a long time when the pawnshop owner arrogantly accused him of causing trouble and even had his employees kick him out.
It wasn't until Zheng Hao pulled out the token from the Ningyuan Palace that the pawnshop owner immediately put on a respectful, servile demeanor and quickly had his clerk bring the coral necklace. He also gave Zheng Hao a large ingot of silver and respectfully escorted them out.
