Yang Chunxue cursed Yang Donghu inwardly for being ungrateful, yet she was also afraid he might notice something. She was on guard, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Her expression changed several times, and she gritted her teeth as she continued, "Even if you don't want to save face for Mother, you still have to consider Grandma. You've been away for so long, it's time to go back and see her."
"You don't need to remind me."
Zhao Luochuan saw from afar that Yang Donghu was being harassed by someone and didn't even have time to pull the cart. He walked over with big strides. As soon as he got closer, he heard these words and retorted in a somewhat stiff tone.
Wang Dujuan thought that Yang Donghu came to the town alone, so she had the courage to step forward and stop him, but she never expected that this evil spirit was also there.
The mark left by the tip of the knife on the table last time is still deeply engraved in Wang Dujuan's heart. After not seeing each other for such a long time, she always feels that the evil aura around Zhao Luochuan is heavier.
Zhao Luochuan raised his hand to push them apart, leaving a distance of one person's width between them. He walked through and stood next to Yang Donghu, staring at the two people in front of him with a bad look.
Yang Chunxue was so frightened that her legs felt weak. She said dryly, "We didn't bother him. We just had a simple chat."
"That would be great." Zhao Luochuan snorted coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it and let me hear it too."
Wang Dujuan was, after all, two years older than Zhao Luochuan. Thinking of Li Shangcai's assurance, she felt she had a backer, so she acted rashly in front of him, trying to put on airs: "What are you talking about? I, your mother, can't even say a word?"
"You're really old and your memory is not good. You've already signed the severance agreement, and now you're showing off your motherly skills. Who are you showing it to?"
Yang Chunxue was afraid that Zhao Luochuan would take out a knife from his arms again, so she took two steps back calmly and hid behind Wang Dujuan, refusing to be the first to stand out.
Wang Dujuan couldn't find any words to refute, and she was still speechless after struggling with it.
Zhao Luochuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Since you have nothing to say, and we have no past to reminisce about, it would be better if we pretend not to know each other when we meet again. Otherwise, it would be bad if it causes trouble for both parties."
A man who hits a woman is the most cowardly. Even if he hits his own wife, others will despise him behind his back if others tell others about it. There are people coming and going on the street, and if others see him entangled with an unmarried girl, it will not look good if others tell others about it.
Zhao Luochuan glanced sideways at Yang Donghu, and seeing that he looked normal, he thought he hadn't suffered any loss. He took his hand and walked past the two people who were still standing there obediently.
The silk thread Yang Chunxue bought was still in the store and had not been taken out yet. The shopkeeper personally delivered it to her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the man go far away. She reached out to take the silk thread and returned to her arrogant look.
"You say this Mr. Li is really something. He could choose anyone else but that money-losing guy. With that evil spirit watching over us, how can we succeed?" Wang Dujuan was in trouble and sighed.
At that time, she was blinded by greed and her eyes were full of the two hundred taels. She forgot that Zhao Luochuan had the ability to punch a man so hard that he vomited blood.
I have to discuss this matter carefully with Master Li when I get back, otherwise I won’t be able to offend that person easily.
Now, when the two of them go to the store to buy things, they don’t have to pay for it themselves. All the money is put into Li’s account, so they don’t feel bad at all when buying things.
Yang Chunxue had nothing to do and wanted to embroider a handkerchief, so she asked for the most expensive embroidery thread in the shop, which was twisted with gold threads. A small strand cost almost one or two taels of silver.
She picked up the gold threads and held them in the sunlight. Each strand shone with golden light. Yang Chunxue couldn't take her eyes off them. If such threads were embroidered on clothes, the young ladies in the village would be envious to death.
Wang Dujuan didn't hear Yang Chunxue's response, so she turned around and scolded him, "I'm talking to you, but you didn't hear me? You're always buying useless things. You can't eat them, so you might as well buy some sweet fruit."
Yang Chunxue curled her lips: "Mom, why are you only thinking about eating?"
"Don't think about eating, what are you thinking about? Go back quickly and don't hang around anymore. If you fight for your own strength and win over Master Li's heart, we won't have to go through all this trouble. Not to mention two hundred taels, we can even get two thousand taels."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Yang Chunxue said unhappily.
"Mother, mother? Why did I give birth to such a useless person like you? You can't catch a scholar, and you can't catch a rich man. What do I need you for?" Wang Dujuan became more and more angry. She pulled Yang Chunxue back and said, "Go back and think of a plan quickly. Stop wasting time on useless things."
Wang Dujuan's shrewish behavior attracted the attention of passers-by. Yang Chunxue felt embarrassed and struggled twice but failed to break free, so she had to follow her back reluctantly.
Zhao Luochuan had almost finished buying everything and didn't feel like wandering around. He asked Yang Donghu for his opinion, packed up the cart, and rushed back for lunch.
The car had already gone quite a distance, and Zhao Luochuan was a little worried and asked, "Why are they pestering you again? Have they come to bother you during the few days I was away?"
Yang Donghu shook his head. "It's a coincidence, but I did run into Yang Chunxiao by chance a few days ago. We didn't say much, but he wanted to borrow some money from me."
"Her husband is not a very good person, but he is hardworking. His family doesn't seem to be struggling to make ends meet. Why would he lend money to you?" Zhao Luochuan was puzzled.
Yang Donghu recounted the entire story, then quickly added, "I knew the stakes involved, so I didn't lend it to her. I did, however, remind her to go to town to get the money, but I don't know if she went."
"You have the final say over our family's money. It's okay to lend it out, but it's not easy to get rid of the Yang family. It's better to have less contact with them." Zhao Luochuan had nothing to worry about with the money being with Yang Donghu. He could do whatever he wanted with it.
Yang Donghu was holding a small bag of red date cakes in his arms. The sweet aroma of the cakes lingered in his nose. He pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "I know."
Being interrupted like this, he completely forgot about buying silk thread. He only remembered it when he was almost at Yangdong Lake at the village entrance. He slapped his thigh in frustration, blaming those two people for no reason and making him forget about the important thing.
The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival, so we should prepare our wallets well before the festival, so that it will be meaningful.
Yang Donghu doesn't have many close friends. After thinking about it, apart from Zhu Cuilan, only Yang Anjin must have a lot of silk threads at home.
"I didn't buy any silk thread. I want to borrow some from An Jin. It's not worth going to town just to buy some silk thread."
Seeing that they had reached a fork in the road and it was closer to go there, Yang Donghu quickly spoke.
After being pestered by Wang Dujuan, Zhao Luochuan was worried about him going to Yang's house alone, but there were still a lot of things on the cart, which made it inconvenient to carry them. "Then I'll put the things back and come find you."
"good."
Yang Donghu divided the red date cake into two portions, one for Yang Anjin and the other for Zhao Luochuan to take back to Zhao Fangchu.
