Yang Anshi was completely dumbfounded, sitting on the ground with her eyes wide open in horror without reacting for a long time, and her left cheek swelled at a visibly rapid pace.
The onlookers were all stunned as well, no one had expected Yang Ruxin to dare to hit Yang Anshi, and to hit so fiercely at that.
Yang Baixiang took a step forward, but ultimately stopped, not saying a word, while Dong Family was so frightened that she forgot to cry.
"Oh my heavens, this is appalling, Yang Dani hit her own grandmother, such a damned wretch..." Yang Anshi came to her senses and started wailing dramatically, but as soon as she cried out, another slap flew at her with a smack.
Now both sides of her face were swollen, symmetrical at last.
"You..." Yang Peili’s eyes were bulging out, "You rebellious thing, you’re asking for divine punishment... That’s your grandma, how could you dare?" he said, stepping forward to raise his hand to discipline Yang Ruxin.
"Hmph..." Yang Ruxin tugged at the corner of her mouth, grabbed Yang Peili’s arm, and shoved him forcefully, "Don’t push me, or I’ll beat you too..."
Yang Peili raised his hand again but couldn’t bring himself to act.
Yang Ruxin then looked down at Yang Anshi, "I’m telling you, if it weren’t for the respect I have for you as an elder, I would have wanted to beat you hard a long time ago. I warned you last time to watch your mouth, I hate hearing words like ’cheap woman’ the most, do you think you are any nobler? You truly never learn..."
Yang Anshi was petrified by Yang Ruxin’s fierce gaze, the half-wailed cry stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Just then, Yang Mancang arrived, followed by Sanni and Li Jiaya who had gone to call for help, while some villagers who heard the commotion stood outside the door. The Yang Family’s constant troubles had long become a laughingstock to everyone.
Li Jiaya was here because she had come over with Li Yi and witnessed the entire incident. After going back and complaining to her mother, she felt she couldn’t just ignore the situation after all. Erya was too pitiful, so she ran to find Yang Ruxin. On her way, she encountered Yang Ruxin, who was rushing to the old house, so she followed along. Hearing Yang Ruxin asking Sanni to find the village chief, Li Jiaya also followed, because she felt she understood the situation clearly and could explain things to the village chief when the time came.
"Uncle, how can you guys..." Yang Mancang glanced over the entire courtyard, his brows furrowed as if with worry. On the way there, Li Jiaya and Sanni had already explained the incident to him, "What am I supposed to say about you guys? Are you not going to stop until someone dies? Forget it, maybe it’s time to report to the authorities. I don’t think I can handle this..."
At that moment, Fang Tianze also arrived, accompanied by Liuyun. After Erya had been brought over bloodied, the old man took her into a room for treatment. Concerned about Yang Ruxin, he had also come over and just in time to hear Yang Mancang talking about going to the officials, he immediately spoke up, "Sister Ruxin, if you’re thinking about reporting to the officials, I can help. Just let Liuyun go back and inform my father, and he will be here immediately..."
Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads and saw a handsome boy walking in, all taken aback.
"How did you get out here?" Yang Ruxin frowned, "Didn’t the old man tell you to get more sleep?"
"I was worried about you, so I came over to check on you..." Fang Tianze said with a shy smile. He had had his share of the affairs at the Yang family’s old house during these days, and now he was witnessing them firsthand. Indeed, it was too distressing, even more upsetting than his own household.
