"Next time he hits you, if you're not happy about it, hit him back. People like Yang Guangzong can only be disciplined by being beaten into submission."
Although Ye Hufeng was thrilled, her deeply ingrained sense of obedience made her shake her head: "This...no...I can't do it...I'm tough, I'll just let them hit me..."
Ye Caiping frowned: "What if he hits Xiaoyan? Xiaoyan is so thin and weak, she can't take it."
Ye Hufen's expression changed: "I usually stand in front of Xiaoyan."
"And what about when you weren't around? How many times did Xiao Yan get beaten?"
Ye Hufen's face was pale. "That's how we women always endure it..."
"No! Who says women can't do this or that? People say women can't show their faces in public, but look at me, I run a business and built a big brick house. Tell me, what can't we do?"
Grandma Ye nodded, "Hufen, you have to stand up!"
“In the past, your aunt would have made you put up with it. But in the past few months, I have watched with my own eyes as Caiping has shouldered everything with her frail shoulders and even earned enough to build two large brick houses.”
"With your advantages, you can fight back however you want!"
Ye Hufen was taken aback, feeling conflicted, but more than 30 years of education made her lack the courage to take that step.
Ye Caiping knew that it was impossible to change Ye Hufen in a short time.
This requires slow, gradual brainwashing!
Grandma Ye stopped there, not pressing her any further, and sighed softly, "How many more injuries like this do you have? Let me put some medicine on you."
"Not much, just this much..."
Yang Xiaoyan felt sorry for Ye Hufen: "Mother, let Auntie apply some medicine for you!"
Seeing her daughter's pleading eyes, Ye Hufen had no choice but to take off her clothes.
Then, the bluish-purple scars, some new and some old, were revealed.
Ye Caiping and her daughter gasped in shock. This Yang Guangzong was so ruthless!
The three of them together helped Ye Hufen apply the medicine.
After applying the medicine, they went to the main room together.
Yang Duobao was still eating there, his pockets bulging.
The three tea tables and three fruit platters in the main room were all empty.
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er sat to one side with dark faces, their eyes filled with disgust for Yang Duobao.
Yang Xiaoyan and Ye Hufen looked embarrassed.
Just as Ye Hufeng was about to persuade Yang Duobao, Old Lady Ye stopped her, walked over, and said kindly and gently:
"Duobao, is that enough to eat? If not, Grandma has more."
Yang Duobao's eyes lit up: "What is it? Take it out quickly."
Grandma Ye hurriedly went inside and took out bags of pastries.
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er quickly took the fruit and sorted the pastries into the empty fruit bowl.
Yang Duobao was about to go and grab him.
Grandma Ye took out another oil paper bag, opened it, and inside were five Osmanthus Hibiscus Pastries.
This is expensive stuff; Ye Caiping bought it for her and her husband.
Two hundred coins a box, only ten yuan a box.
There are five coins left.
Yang Duobao knew it was good food just by looking at its beautiful appearance and sweet taste. He snatched it away, picked up a piece, and started eating.
"Delicious! Much better than the candied lotus seeds and candied winter melon we had earlier."
Grandma Ye smiled even more kindly: "Does Duobao really like snacks?"
"Mmm!" With the good food in hand, Yang Duobao finally became much more talkative and stopped giving him those dead fish eyes.
"Then Duobao promises his great-grandmother that he will be a good son to his mother. As long as you listen to your mother, your great-grandmother will give you some snacks next time you come."
Unexpectedly, Yang Duobao rolled his dead fish eyes and said, "Am I being unfilial now? I've already been so obedient and sensible, what more does she want?"
Grandma Ye choked.
Ye Hufen's expression was full of hurt and dejection.
Regardless of whether Duobao was her biological son or not, she raised him with all her heart from the moment she brought him home, treating him with the same love and care as her own child.
Her love for him was no less than Xiao Yan's, but this child...
Thinking about it, Ye Hufen felt heartbroken.
Ye Caiping smiled coldly, truly a born bad seed.
Grandma Ye still wouldn't give up: "No matter what, she's still your mother, and she's been so good to you..."
"What's so good about her?" Yang Duobao said, giving Ye Hufen a disdainful look. "She's as big and ugly as a bear. It's embarrassing to take her out. She's not as gentle and beautiful as my godmother at all."
Grandma Ye was truly heartbroken this time, and looked at Ye Hufen with a touch of pity.
Ye Hufen was heartbroken and disappointed, but she still forced a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, he's just a little naughty. In a couple of years, when he's older, he'll understand."
Ye Caiping, however, did not think so; she believed that a little bad seed would only grow into a big bad seed.
And what did this bastard just say? Godmother? So gentle and beautiful?
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Hufen: "Who is this godmother he's talking about?"
Ye Hufen's face stiffened for a moment, then she laughed and said, "Oh, she's from the same village. Duobao likes her very much, so he became her godfather. Haha, it's getting late, I'll go back and ask my mother if there's anything wrong."
After saying that, he pulled Yang Duobao and said, "Come on, let's go back."
Yang Duobao's belly was bulging, and he couldn't eat anymore, so he left while burping.
"Grandma, Auntie, I'm heading back now too." Yang Xiaoyan smiled politely.
"Xiao Yan, go back and have a good talk with your mother," Ye Caiping said.
"I will. Goodbye, Cousin Jin and Cousin Huan."
After saying that, he left.
Grandma Ye sighed softly, deeply worried about Ye Hufen.
After a while, Aunt Ye came in:
"Sister-in-law, you just sent Hu Fen back to ask if she wanted to have lunch together."
