Chapter 288 Never step into this house again

Yao Guohua stood at his doorstep, his hands trembling, looking angrily at the old lady of the Yao family.

"Mom, why can't I live in my own room?" Yao Guohua stared intently at Grandma Yao.

Grandma Yao chuckled twice and sat motionless on the stool by the door.

"Your house? What in Old Yao's house is yours?" Grandma Yao retorted.

“That west room was left to me by my father when he was alive. He said it before he passed away. Everyone is here. You don’t even want to admit that, do you?” Yao Guohua said angrily.

Upon hearing Yao Guohua's words, Widow Wang, who was sitting on the ground, cried even louder.

"This is outrageous! This old woman is taking over her son's house and trying to drive him to his death! What a terrible thing! God, please open your eyes!" Widow Wang wailed and kicked her legs on the ground.

Grandma Yao glanced at Widow Wang only once, then looked at Aunt Yao...

Aunt Yao immediately understood and turned around to scoop a ladle of water from the water vat in the yard and poured it directly onto the head of Widow Wang, who was still wailing with her mouth open.

"You must be thirsty after howling for so long! Here, have some water!"

Widow Wang was inexplicably doused with water...

She instinctively reached out to tickle Aunt Yao, but saw Aunt Yao smilingly put the water ladle aside and start rolling up her sleeves again.

Then look behind Grandma Yao: Aunt Yao, Yao Chunian, and the four daughters-in-law of Aunt Yao's eldest son, as well as the men of the Yao family who haven't had their turn to perform yet...

Widow Wang immediately sat down again, but her previous wailing and slapping of her thighs turned into quiet sobbing while hugging her two children.

There are too many Yao family members here. This isn't a village, and it's not a place where she can get away with just crying and wailing.

Seeing that Widow Wang had suddenly fallen silent, the onlookers booed, somewhat disappointed...

They went up and scratched, hit, pulled hair, tore clothes...

Widow Wang suddenly changed her style, which everyone found regrettable.

Aunt Yao had her hands ready. She had already sized up the situation. Widow Wang's hair was short and difficult to pull, so when the fight started, she would focus on pinching her. Widow Wang had a lot of flesh, so pinching her armpits and sides would hurt a lot...

Who knows...

Xiao Tiantian felt it was a pity. He urged them to start fighting, saying, "If you don't start fighting, how will he go back and describe it to his older sister? He was ordered to watch the battle!"

Grandma Yao didn't feel sorry at all.

It would be dirty to lay a hand on these people.

Their family is the kind that produces college graduates, so they need to persuade people with reason!

Thinking of this, Grandma Yao chuckled twice, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Yao Guohua. That look made everyone around her feel that Grandma Yao wasn't looking at her son, but at an insignificant passerby who had come to cause trouble.

"Your father's words? Yes, your father left some words before he left, but he didn't say he was leaving that room to you!"

Your father was referring to the room that was reserved for your son, Shuli, and that the house had nothing to do with you.

Your dad said that no matter what, they couldn't let Old Yao's grandson be homeless.

That house was reserved for Shuli, not for any Tom, Dick, or Harry who wasn't part of the Yao family.

Yao Guohua, how dare you mention your father!

Why weren't you filial when your dad was alive?

Also, think back to what happened back then. When you went to vocational school, and that spot was given to you, what was your promise?

Once you get that spot and go to school, everything at home will be none of your business.

"Put your hand on your heart and tell me, didn't you say back then that once you went to vocational school, everything at home would be none of your business?" Grandma Yao stared intently at Yao Guohua.

Yao Guohua opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to.

Those who knew the inside story shook their heads.

"What Yao Laosan did back then was not ethical."

"Oh? There's more to this than that!"

"That happened many years ago, when Yao Laosan was not even twenty years old!"

"Oh, that's quite far! No wonder Yao Laosan didn't dare to open his mouth!"

...

Xiao Tiantian was extremely anxious. The people around him were speaking in riddles, saying something but not saying anything at all. How was he going to explain this to his older sister?

"Qiangqiang, do you know what that...person did back then?" Tiantian could only ask Qiangqiang.

How could Qiangqiang know things that even Xiaotian doesn't know!

Looking at Qiangqiang's bewildered eyes, Xiaotian could only console herself with a couple of words, "Okay, how could you possibly know things that I don't even know!"

How could I possibly know things that even my older sister doesn't know!

Alright, let's continue watching the show!

Immediately following this was a chorus of condemnations from the Yao family's women against Yao Guohua and Widow Wang...

"Third brother, you have no conscience! You keep changing women every few days to upset the old lady. You can't stand seeing the old lady living a comfortable life, can you?" Aunt Yao spoke first.

"Third brother, why do you bring both fragrant and foul smells into the house? You don't mind the mess, but you bring these disgusting things to Mom's face. Are you afraid Mom won't be angry? Look at you, aren't you ashamed? Do you think this is something to be proud of?" Aunt Yao also pointed at Yao Guohua's nose and scolded him.

“Third Uncle, you should be a decent person. Over the years, we have always respected Grandma and were afraid that she might be uncomfortable. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. How can you upset Grandma every now and then?” Yao’s eldest sister-in-law sighed.

“That’s right! Grandma is such a good person, she never argues with anyone, but every time you come, she gets so angry that she has to take nitroglycerin pills!” the second sister-in-law immediately chimed in.

“Third Uncle, Heaven is watching what people do. You’ve done everything that God has seen, and you’ll get your comeuppance! Haven’t you noticed how unlucky you’re getting?” Zhong Xiaochun said with a sigh.

“Third Uncle, you can’t be unreasonable. You learn to be good from good people and bad from bad people. Look at yourself now… do you still act like an elder?” Wang Zhihua shook his head.

Yao Chunian showed absolutely no mercy.

"Third Uncle, can't you eat something better? What kind of people have you been picking on every day! Even a dog would know to pick someone fresh and hot, but look at the one you've chosen..."

You're eating dog poop that's been dried for seven or eight years and you're enjoying it! You... we're afraid the smell of your breath will suffocate us when we talk to you!

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Yao Guohua...

He didn't look at anyone else, he just stared at Grandma Yao.

"Mom, are you going to let us in or not?!"

Grandma Yao slowly stood up. She glanced at Yao Guohua, then at the widow Wang.

"I'm telling you, you can never set foot in this house again. And even if I pass away someday, you're not allowed to come and mourn. I'll pretend I don't have a son like you."

As for whose west room it is...

That belongs to Shula, Shuxin, and Shuli, siblings. It has nothing to do with you!

"Get out of here!" Grandma Yao practically shouted the last three words.

...

Having gained no advantage whatsoever, Yao Guohua had no choice but to pull the still-crying widow Wang and her two children back home.

Xiao Tiantian also pulled Qiangqiang and ran home quickly.

"Uncle, don't run so fast. We can run faster than them, so we won't miss the show," Qiangqiang reminded Xiaotian.

"I didn't want to watch the excitement. I just realized we were running out of time. My older sister and I finished talking about the commotion, and we were going to be late for school." Diligent and studious Xiaotian didn't even turn her head back, just pulled Qiangqiang and ran home.
