221 Not Return
Yang Liang tried to calm himself down. “My sister married your family and you need to help her do something on the return-day. But you are bullying us by not letting her return.”
Ms. Fang frowned. “I saw them off this morning, which was also seen by the neighbors! I did not stop them. Third, Ms. Yang, explain it to them!”
Shao Sanlang was about to speak when Yang Xiaoni pinched him, and said with pursed lips, “Mom, we did return, but I went to my parents’ grave to pay tribute. Can’t that be counted as a return?”
Yang Liang got furious. “Damn girl, what are you talking about?”
Yang Xiaoni looked at them. Her eyes were sparkling, but she turned pale.
Yang Xiaoni said to Yang Liang, “I don’t have a home without my parents! You know pretty well how you have treated me during the past years! You asked for 20 liang as the wedding gifts, but I have no dowry. Even my wedding gown was given by my mother-in-law! How can I be grateful to you, when you have treated me like this?”
“I can’t do the return-day ceremony with you!”
“I was ordered to do the seedling work in the field, chopping wood, carrying water, laundry and all kinds of labor work, but I was never fed well. I owe you nothing!”
“Since you are here, I want to let you know that I am not going to have any relationship with you from this moment on. You have sold me for 20 liang already. How I spend my days at my mother-in-law’s home has nothing to do with you!”
“You…” Yang Liang turned pale.
Many people present understood clearly how Yang Xiaoni lived her life before she got married. They sighed and discussed the matter among themselves.
Yang Xiaoni had such a terrible life but for her luck she married Shao Sanlang, her future would have been much worse.
How shameless Yang Liang and his wife were and even dared to cause a fuss till date!
Still, some people talked from the point of morality.
“He is your brother! Brother and sister should not hate each other. Moreover, you are married now, how much hatred can there be?”
“Yes, they are still relatives, why be so ruthless!”
“Your brother and sister-in-law have brought you up. You should be kind to them!”
“Just calm down, you are a family and you should be in harmony!”
Yang Xiaoni screamed in anger. “It didn’t happen to you, so you will never know what it feels like! Anyone who says so should get relatives like this, and experience it personally!”
Some people became anxious and snapped.
“What are you talking about? Why are you cursing us?”
“You are so immature!”
Yang Xiaoni snapped and sneered. “You know this is a curse, right! Since you don’t want anyone like this in your family, why are you forcing me? Why do I deserve to have such a hard life?”
Ms. Fang said coldly, “All you outsiders, stop interfering! We will solve the matter ourselves, you both can also leave now.”
Ms. Tian glared at Yang Xiaoni and felt very unconvinced.
Yang Liang was very embarrassed and left with Ms. Tian in a hurry.
Ms. Fang sneered behind them. “It doesn’t look good to make a fuss like this! The Yang Family’s reputation is ruined by you. We should all be sensible!”
Yang Liang staggered for a moment and then hurried away.
