Grandma Yang had just grabbed a broom and hit someone hard in front of everyone, and her own family had witnessed it. She was feeling very uncomfortable.
She raised her hand and gently smoothed her already neat hair, trying to appear calm as she said, "Why are you all staring at me like that? Everyone's here now, aren't we supposed to be discussing Yi Miao and Yi Jing's trip to the countryside?"
Grandpa Yang chuckled to himself as he looked at his wife, thinking she was being a bit confused. He said gently, "We've already arranged where Yi Miao and Yi Jing are going to the countryside. The reason everyone's looking at you like this is because they all have their doubts."
Su Yue and Yang Yijing had indeed already discussed going to the countryside—to Wucheng, Su Yue's hometown, Shuiwen Village.
Su Yue had previously called Tang Jianguo to explain the situation in detail, outlining why Yang Yimiao and Yang Yijing were going to the countryside, and emphasizing that they were her godmother's sons.
Tang Jianguo readily agreed, since Nie Yuanbao was also from Beicheng, and they would have company then.
Grandma Yang frowned slightly. "What question?"
Grandpa Yang smiled helplessly, "What you've been thinking about for years is Gong Shufen's instigation of Jingyi and Guohua to divorce. You did nothing wrong, but why didn't you tell me about it?"
Grandma Yang paused slightly, her eyes darting away, and said softly, "What's there to say? Didn't you see how I hit Gong Shufen just now? I looked exactly like a shrew."
Wang Jingyi quickly grasped Grandma Yang's hand and said, "Mom, how could you act like a shrew? Gong Shufen is the one who is both shrewish and loves to stir up trouble."
Thinking of Gong Shufen's actions, her eyes were filled with disgust. "Who would have the audacity to go to someone else's house and advise their daughter-in-law to get a divorce!"
Su Yue quickly chimed in, "Godmother is right, the one you hit is the real shrew!"
Yang Yimiao and Yang Yijing exchanged a glance, then huddled up to their grandmother, their eyes filled with admiration and tenderness: "Grandma, if she dares to say anything about my parents getting a divorce again, just grab a broom and hit her! You're hitting a bad person, so don't feel embarrassed!"
Hmph, they weren't supposed to go to the countryside, but that gossipy woman Gong Shufen ruined it.
She's so annoying! She made their grandparents feel guilty, thinking it was because of their social status that they had to go to the countryside.
Grandma Yang, feeling both embarrassed and awkward from their praise, laughed and said, "Let's put this matter behind us. No one is allowed to mention it again, especially Guohua!"
The thought of her son being laughed at if he knew he was hitting someone with a broom made her shudder.
Grandpa Yang knew his wife's stubborn nature all too well, so he quickly nodded solemnly and promised, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell Guohua."
Su Yue and the others nodded in agreement.
Grandma Yang's gaze swept across everyone's faces, her tone full of worry: "Alright, now let's talk about Yi Miao and Yi Jing not going to the Great Northern Wilderness. If Gao Qiang finds out, will he find someone to make things difficult for Yi Miao and the others?"
The thought of the long and arduous journey, and the potential danger my grandson might encounter, filled me with anxiety.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Yang and Wang Jingyi both frowned and began to seriously consider countermeasures, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Seeing this, Su Yue quickly reassured her, "Grandma, don't worry. As long as Gao Yuzhen leaves Beicheng, Gao Qiang won't have the energy to deal with us."
Wang Jingyi asked in confusion, "Yueyue, why did Gao Qiang stop taking care of us after Gao Yuzhen left Beicheng?"
Grandpa Yang, Grandma Yang, and the two Yang brothers all looked at Su Yue with puzzled expressions.
Su Yue pondered for a moment, then explained clearly, "Gao Yuzhen is just a pawn in Gao Qiang's hands. Just now, he seemed to come to our door with ten men, threatening us aggressively, as if he valued this daughter a lot. But that's not the case. My godfather said that things haven't been peaceful in their community lately. Someone is using Gao Yuzhen's reluctance to go to the countryside to pressure Gao Qiang. Once Gao Yuzhen goes to the Great Northern Wilderness, Gao Qiang will keep his position and won't bother Yi Miao and Yi Jing anymore because of her."
She thought to herself, "At that time, Gao Qiang will be too busy taking care of himself to have time to care about other people's business."
Gao Qiang's main goal was to get Gao Yuzhen to willingly board the train to the Great Northern Wilderness, and his mission was considered accomplished.
After careful consideration, Wang Jingyi and the others felt that Su Yue's words made sense.
