Chapter 36. Dragon Raising Head Day (part1)

Old Mrs. Chen didn't hold any hope of Mrs. Su giving birth to a son. However, Yue Da Fu had some vague expectations: "On the second day of the second month, the dragon raised his head. If she really give birth to a son, won't he have great achievement in the future!"

"You're the abnormal one! She already given birth to seven money-wasters. I don't believe that she can give birth to a baby with a handle this time!" Old Mrs. Chen firmly believed Mrs. Su couldn't give birth to a son on this good day. She couldn't be bothered with west wing's matter.

Doctor Ma and his wife came quickly. Mrs. Lin scalded her hands with hot water and gave the children a soothing look: "Don't worry, your mother will be able to give birth to a little brother safely." Then she pushed the west wing's door and went straight in.

On the other side, Wan Niang was giving birth for the first time. Inexperienced her was already panicking. Her glistening pale face was raised high as she looked at Mrs. Chen who was entrusted by Yue Chang Lu to come in to guard her. She asked: "Eldest Sister-in-law, why is it so noisy outside? Is Second Brother Yue ba, back?"

Sitting on the side, Mrs. Chen was bored tot death. She got up and went out to take a look. Then she came back with a slightly evil smile: "Oh, it's not old Second coming back. Mrs. Su also got into labor. Those girls invited the village doctor over."

Hearing that Mrs. Su had also gone into labor, a trace of hatred flashed in Wan Niang's eyes. What? She had to fight with on this good day too? "It's not Elder, Sister Su's, delivery day yet, no?"

"Who knows? Maybe she find today is a good day and gone into labor in advance!" Enjoying the drama, Mrs. Chen chilled on the side and jollily spoke.

Wan Niang wanted to say something else, but a sudden burst of pain struck her. It made her unable to open her mouth to say anything. She could only grudging grit her teeth and hated Mrs. Su and second branch's daughters even more.

Back to Mrs. Su's side. The situation was in critical condition as this was premature birth. On top of that, Mrs., Su's body was weak and couldn't exert her strength. Mrs. Lin went in to check her condition. She quickly came out and explained Mrs. Su's condition to her old man: "She had given birth before, so the cervix opened fast. However, her body is weak and her strength can't keep up. If this continue on like this, I'm afraid both adult and babies are in danger."

When they heard that Mrs. Su and the babies might meet with mishap, You Jin sisters' hearts sank. Despite this, they all gritted their teeth and did not dare to cry. All their expectant eyes fell on Doctor Ma.

Dr. Ma twirled his beard and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "I'll prescribe medicine for her. See if she'll get better after drinking it."

He took You Jin back to Ma's house to pick up the medicine. Then he groped around before took out half a pinky-sized ginseng from the top layer of the medicine cabinet, cut it in half, and handed it to You Jin. He instructed: "Put this in as well and boil the medicine together. Boil with five bowls of water into a bowl of concoction. Get your mother to down it. If she have the strength, she should be fine. But if she still can't use any strength, then this old man can't help."

You Jin gratefully took the medicine that Doctor Ma had chosen and hurried back to Yue's house. At this time, Yue Chang Lu, who went to invite Granny Wen, also came back. Granny Wen entered Wan Niang's room, while Yue Chang Lu closely guarded outside the door. They were just separated by a wall but he didn't even give Mrs. Su a look. As if the babies in Mrs. Su's belly had nothing to do with him.

You Jin's eyes darkened by a few degree. However, she didn't have time to worry about that much. She hurried to the kitchen to make the medicine and then sent it to Mrs. Su's room to be consumed. After that, she was kicked out by Mrs. Lin: "This isn't a place for children. Don't stay here. I'll call you if I need anything."

Once out of the west wing, You Jin felt a little empty in her heart. She didn't know what to do. Seeing her few younger sisters standing in a row outside the door of the west wing, You Jin hugged the two little ones into her arms and then stood with the rest. She silently prayed to Heaven to bless Mrs. Su and the babies.

Mrs. Su's side went quite fast, while Wan Niang was tortured on her side.

After checking Wan Niang's situation, Granny Wen came out and instructed Yue Chang Lu to get someone to prepare some food: "This is little wife's first child. It won't be born until midnight! Quickly prepare some food and send it here. Least that she become hungry and have no energy to birth in the evening."

Hearing that it'll take half a day, Yue Chang Lu frowningly acknowledged it. Afterward, he ordered You Jin to prepare food: "Go and prepare some food for your mother!"

To his surprise, You Jin sent him a vicious glare: "My mother didn't say she wanted to eat!"

Now that her whole heart was hanging in the air, how can she care whether Wan Niang is hungry or not?

This was the first time for Yue Chang Lu to be directly confronted by his daughter. Looking at her somewhat penetrating gaze, he can't help but feel a chill in his heart. But seeing that his eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law were standing at the door of the main room, Yue Chang Lu felt that he can't lose this face. He immediately wanted to teach her a lesson.

Unexpectedly, You Jin dodged his slap and coldly stared at him: "I won't bother you, so don't bother me either. Or I will go all out and not let you off!" Six kiddies stood behind You Jin and looked at him with hatred. As if they were going to fight with their life.

Only then did Yue Chang Lu realize that his position in the second room had been shaken. He was so furious that he pointed at You Jin and cursed: "You disrespectful money-wasting thing. You instigated your younger sisters to be disobedient, right?"

"What do you have worthy of my respect?" You Jin glanced at him coldly. Since the jar was already broken, why would You Jin continue to endure? She accepted the pole handed over by You Zhu and spoke her sisters standing firmly in front of Mrs. Su's door: "Kill us today then. Try it!"

Why else was Yue Chang Lu called a coward who bullies the soft and fears the hard? He was frightened a few steps back by daggered glares from a few money-wasters who had been beaten up by him since they were young. On that end, Yue Chang Fu took in his retreat and a hint of disgust appeared at the corner of his mouth. This younger brother was as unpromising as always. He couldn't even hold his position against a few money-wasting things!

However, looking at scarlet-eyed You Jin, who was like a she-wolf protecting her cubs, Yue Chang Fu's heart also flashed a coolness that he didn't even detect.

It was Yue Da Fu who came out of the main room and broke the deadlock: "Eldest's wife, you make some food and send it to Wan Niang."

Spectator Mrs. Chen didn't expect another job had fallen on her shoulder. But seeing Father-in-law's serious face, she reluctantly went.

Only then did Yue Da Fu turn his head and steadily glanced at You Jin's sisters: "Old Second, both of them are in labor now. Those who should be disciplined will be disciplined later."

However, Yue Da Fu was also pondering how second branch's few money-wasting things' gut grown! It was necessary to discipline. Now that they dared to hold a pole to face their father. Wouldn't they dare to hold a kitchen knife to him when they are older?

You Jin wasn't afraid of him though. At most, it'll be dead fish breaking the net. Her life for a dozen lives of Yue Family. It was worth it. Life-cherishing Yue family might be eager to drive them away then!

It went without saying Mrs. Su didn't know what was going on outside. After drinking Doctor Ma's soup with a small piece of wild ginseng, she gained some strength. Seeing this, Mrs. Lin felt relieved: "If you have strength, just follow my breathing pace."

Mrs. Su had given birth to seven girls. Naturally, it will be much faster. Now the cervix was fully opened. As long as Mrs. Su push with strength when needed, the birth can be completed in less than half an hour.

Sweat was all over her slightly red face. Mrs. Su resisted the pain and responded with an 'e'. Then listened to Mrs. Lin's words and took a long breath and exhaled. The tearing pain spread to all limbs. Mrs. Su had to grit her teeth to hold back.

"I've seen the child's head! Come, listen. Exhale and push!" Mrs. Lin shouted in delight, "Quick! Push!"

"Waa!" The baby's weak cry came out. Outside, You Jin sisters immediately clenched their hands with joy: "Mother has given birth!"

You Jin took the boiled water into the delivery room to Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin was nimble and swift. She cut the umbilical cord with scissors that had been scalded with boiling water. Then she washed the baby and wrapped it in a cloth before carefully putting the baby in her arms and showed You Jin: "It's a little sister! There's another one in your mother's belly. It should be soon. Go and prepare some clean hot water."

You Jin glanced at the little sister whose head was only the size of an adult woman's fist. Her eyes were slightly red: "Thank you, Granny Ma!"

Then she went out with a basin of blood.

You Yin and the few younger sisters hurriedly gathered around: "Third Elder Sister, did Mother give birth to a little brother or a little sister?"

Taking the expectant eyes of her few younger sisters, You Jin poured out the blood and replied, "It's a younger sister. There is another one in Mother's belly."

Hearing You Jin say that it was a younger sister, the older ones' eyes displayed slight disappointment. The initial expectation was gone.

You Jin noticed her few younger sisters become disappointed and her face became strict. Although they didn't value sons over daughters, her younger sisters who were born and raised here can't have the mentality of hoping for a younger brother in their bones. She squatted down and gazed at them with burning eyes: "Third Elder Sister has always told you that if we even despise ourselves for not being a male, then no one in this world can respect us. Although it's said women aren't as good as men, but Mother gave birth is a younger sister. I never dislike you for not being a male. Now you are starting to dislike your younger sister?"

The sisters were a little frightened by You Jin's serious expression and fervently shook their heads one after another: "No. Third sister, we are just..."

"I know. You just want a younger brother too much. If Mother gave birth to a younger brother, wouldn't you spoil him? Do you know that kind Mother ruin son since ancient times? If he becomes a unpromising family member, then I'd rather a well-behaved younger sister." You Jin patted You Jin and You Zhu on the shoulders: "You two are the oldest among these younger sisters. So you can't teach them bad ways."

You Zhu hurriedly shook her head and stood very firmly on You Jin's side: "Third Elder Sister, I won't."

You Yin also nodded: "Third Elder sister, I understand."

Only then did You Jin nodded with satisfaction. She brought another pot of hot water into the west wing. That end, old Mrs. Chen knew that Mrs. Su had given birth to another daughter. So she stood at the door of the main room and faced the west wing. Her thin lips curled into 'as expected' smile: "I had said that old hen that can't lay a good eye can't give birth to a son! And you didn't it! Now you believe it?"

Yue Chang Lu, who was standing beside old Mrs. Chen, also had a little ugly expression. Although he was tired of seeing Mrs. Su's sallow face, it was still his own seed. There was a hint of expectation for a son in his heart. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another empty hope.

Chapter 37. Dragon Raising Head Day (part2)

In the other delivery room, Wan Niang, who was still waiting for the opening of the cervix, naturally heard the movement outside. Mrs. Chen was sent in to help out. Her smile was filled with ridicule: "I say, Wan Niang, you have to live up to expectations! This Mrs. Su gave birth to another money-wasting thing. If you can get a boy in one go, then the second branch will be…"

It can be said that Mrs. Chen's unfinished meaning was very clear. As long as she can give birth to a son, won't she be in charge of the entire second branch? Thinking of this, Wan Niang's heart aroused a burst of fighting spirit. She must give birth to a big healthy boy!

The sun was gradually setting west. Another baby from Mrs. Su's belly came to the world with a faint cry. Mrs. Lin was holding the blood-covered baby when her hands trembled slightly: "You Jin's mother, it, it's a handle. A son..."

The originally drained and semi-conscious Mrs. Su heard that it was a son and instantly opened her bright eyes: "Auntie Lin, you said it's a son?"

Disbelief, she trembling lifted the cloth that wrapped the already tidied-up little baby with a very thin body. Then she wept with joy: "My son!"

"You Jin's mother, this is wonderful!" Mrs. Lin's eyes were also slightly moist. Mrs. Su was married into the village for more than ten years. Although she didn't have much interaction with herself, she had heard of her good reputation. Finally, she got what she wanted. It can be regarded as a good person getting their good reward.

After comforting Mrs. Su a bit, Mrs. Lin came out with a beam to announce the good news to You Jin sisters: "Your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you!"

After hearing Mrs. Lin's words, the sisters were stunned. What? Mother gave birth to a younger brother? The sisters didn't return to their senses for a long time. You Jin was first to react and led the few younger sisters to kowtow to Mrs. Lin: "We have no way to repay back Granny Ma's great kindness!"

If it weren't for Mrs. Lin, one corpse and two lives would be possible as Yue Chang Lu wouldn't find Granny Wen to deliver Mrs. Su's birth.

Mrs. Lin smiled and helped You Jin up: "This child. What's with kneeling down at every turn. You want to cut off this old woman's lifespan? Now your mother is fine. However, the two babies have just been born. What's more, they're premature twins. They will be much thinner and weaker than normal. It is best to have enough breastmilk to feed."

You Jin carefully noted Mrs. Lin's words into her mind and gratefully sent Mrs. Lin away. Then she took the few younger sisters into the west wing to see the two newly born babies.

That end, Yue Chang Lu also heard the news about Mrs. Su giving birth to a son. #Thump!# He abruptly stood up: "I'm a father!"

He was over the moon. He had been waiting for a son for more than ten years. He finally got it! He didn't care what Yue Da Fu and old Mrs. Chen were saying and went straight to the west wing.

Old Mrs. Chen didn't expect Mrs. Su to actually give birth to a son. She spat on the ground with dissatisfaction and scolded: "So what if a son is born? There are many children who can't be raised!"

In the west wing, the sisters carefully surrounded the cleaned kang and curiously looking at the two babies lying side by side on the kang.

Yue Chang Lu was like a foreign enemy who had entered by mistake. As soon as he entered, he was stared at by his daughters with hostile eyes. He became a little displeased: "What? Can't I go back to my own room? Get out of the way!"

You Jin stood in front of him and coldly stated, "Isn't your son being born next door? If it wasn't for the help of Doctor Ma and Granny Ma, my mother and the two babies might be gone. Now all is good, you eagerly come over once you know a son is born?"

Hearing You Jin's words, Mrs. Su couldn't bear it in her heart: "You Jin, don't talk to your father like this..."

After all, he was also the babies' father. So it wasn't too much to have a look.

Pushed away, You Jin glanced at Mrs. Su Shi and wished for iron to be steel. In the end, she still didn't give up on Yue Chang Lu. She had beaten black and blue. Then giving a date was enough to coax her. Simply exasperating!

It when without saying Mrs. Su noticed her daughter's condemning gaze. She lowered her head in guilt. She didn't think she had done nothing wrong though. He was the father of two babies, no?

With no obstacle, Yue Chang Lu hugged his son with trembling hands. His eyes were red with joy. He wished the whole world could know that he was not someone who couldn't give birth to a son!

But after the ecstasy, reason gradually returned to the cage. Looking at his extremely thin and half-fist sized-head son, disdain emerged within Yue Chang Lu. Although he was a son, it was really a question of whether he could survive. Then he heard Wan Niang's painful cry from the other side of the wall. The doctor from the Rejuvenation Hall in the town said it was a son!

With this thought, he looked at the kitten-sized son with disgust, put him on the kang with disdain, turned around, and went out.

Within a moment, Yue Chang Lu's transformation was so great that the originally delighted Mrs. Su watched Yue Chang Lu's back in shock as he left. She didn't knowing whether to cry about her bitter life or laugh at her own stupidity.

You Jin couldn't help but sighed at her 'doubting-life' expression. Mrs. Su's delusional hope toward Yue Chang Lu was like a weed. It won't die no matter how many times it was burnt out. She was too lazy to say anything.

After a day and a night of tossing around, Wan Niang finally gave birth to a six-jin plump boy at dawn of the second day. Only after hearing that she had given birth to a son, Wan Niang, who was so weak in pain, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After Granny Wen wrapped the washed baby in a thick cloth, Yue Chang Lu and old Mrs. Chen finally arrived.

Listening to Granny Wen's auspicious words, Yue Chang Lu's hands trembled slightly. His eyes filled with tears of excitement. He reached out to take his son who was wailing loudly: "My son, my son!"

Looking at the round-faced grandson, old Mrs. Chen showed a rare kind smile: "This kid is six jins at birth. He will definitely be a sturdy child in the future!"

Yue Chang Lu also nodded in agreement. He recalled Mrs. Su's son who weighed only two or three jins yesterday. Even his cry was sickly. Right there he made a decision. He kissed and nuzzled the fleshy face, wishing that he can hold his precious all the time.

The news that Yue Chang Lu had two sons at once spread quickly throughout Cuifeng Village. When it was time for Yue Wen Bao's third day wash, Yue Family invited more than half of the village. As if they were proud of old Second.

Yue Wen Bao was the name Yue Chang Lu had given to the child born to him and Wan Niang. As for Mrs. Su's pair of twin, not only were they not qualified to for third day wash, but even the name was given by You Jin. Everyone in Yue Family seemed to forgot about the existence of Mrs. Su and her children.

Listening to the bursts of merriment and laughter coming from the main room outside, You Jin held recently-fed You Duan in her arms and patted the child's bum to coax her to sleep. She asked Mrs. Su, "How is it? Mother, do you give up now? So what if there is Kang-er?" Kang-er's full name was Yue Kang. You Jin hoped that he can grow up healthy. So she picked the single word 'Kang'.

In Mrs. Su's arms, Kang-er was sucking breastmilk in small gulps. His weak body was barely got any flesh. He had no idea that he was originally the treasure that his father had longed for, but now completely forgotten about.

A sigh sounded. Mrs. Su found life sometimes very painful. She knew that her indecision had caused her children to follow her through the world's hardships. But what can she do? Even if she wants to separate, can Yue Family promise to let her go? Even if Yue Family agreed to let her go, what about her children? No matter what, they were still the descendants of Yue Family. Can Yue Family agree to let them go with her?

Though You Jin didn't know what was on Mrs. Su's mind, she noticed Mrs. Su's frown and knew that she was in a state of self-entanglement again. Sighing deeply, she watched thin as a cat little Tenth in her arms. You Jin secretly decided that if Mrs. Su couldn't make up her mind, she help her take this step for her.

Back to main room's side. Yue Chang Lu specially dressed up today. The gloomy air around him had long dissipated. Standing behind Yue Da Fu, it can said to be a prideful day for him.

Granny Wen jollily carried Yue Wen Bao out to meet the guests. Today, Yue Family's close acquaintances in the village came over. There was no feast for third day wash for country folks. The bowls just contained peanuts, dates, and the likes. Just for good luck.

"My, this child is really sturdy!" An old auntie who was close to old Mrs. Chen smilingly remarked: "Just a look, one can tell he's a good seedlings of Yue Family. Once he grows up, he is designated to be a strong younger generation!"

It wasn't old Mrs. Chen's first time being a grandmother. However, she had felt ashamed in past because old Second didn't have a son. Now that he finally got future bloodline, she can stand up tall: "Look at what you're saying? The child's life is still short, he can't handle the praise!"

Although it sounded reproachful, her face was still full of beams.

Though some women who were at odds with Yue Family, in particularly with old Mrs. Chen, had smile on their faces, they still slandered: "This Yue Family is really shameless. How can ordinary family marry two wives? Yue Family happened to ability. After doing such shameless thing, they can still have their tail high and preached it everywhere!"

At the lower end of the west wing, Wan Niang couldn't see guests. A few curious women came to look at her. Wan Niang sat on the kang and merrily chatted to them. She was exceedingly satisfied. Who dares to criticize her now? One must know that the son of the second branch was birth by her!

On the night of the third day wash, old Mrs. Chen fell ill.

Lying on the bed, she crooked and chirped. After drinking a few batches of medicine, there was no improvement. Doctor Ma could only say that she caught a cold.

Though old Mrs. Chen was muddled minded from her illness, she didn't forget to scold Doctor Ma for his three-legged cat medical skills: "What a dog-butt doctor. After a few days of medicine, not getting any better! I think he's trying to make money and harm life!"

Although Wan Niang was in confinement, she caught the news of old Mrs. Chen's illness, After pondering for a long time, she came up with an idea to deal with the few from second branch.

Chapter 38. Insuppressible life

"What did you say?" Drowsy from sickness, old Mrs. Chen forced herself to sit up. Half suspicious and half fierce, she uttered: "Did she really say that?"

Mrs. Chen sat on the edge of the kang. Her mind was spinning. She nodded at old Mrs. Chen's question. "Ah! I had heard it from Wan Niang and felt it was important. So I hurried to tell Mother. "

Actually, she was somewhat dubious about it. But thinking about her two sons who were talented and smart, but had never been able to pass the entry-level exam, there must be a reason for this.

A dry stick-like hand slapped the kang: "Wonderful! I didn't expect that I who devote my life to this family to get cursed by money-wasting thing at old age!"

Old Mrs. Chen was surprised at first, but now she believed ninety percent now. She only felt that she was being harmed by those money-wasting things in the second room and wished to dig a hole and bury them.

"What are you being noisy for?" Yue Da Fu, who came back from the outside, saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair muttering in each other ears. He only heard the second half of old Mrs. Chen's sentence: "What's curse or not curse? Every day only know to be noisy."

Old Mrs. Chen exuded displeasure: "I'm about to be killed by those money-wasting and you are ridiculing me here. It look like you can't wait for me to die so that you can marry a young one back?"

She was never one to mash her words and can say anything. Yue Da Fu couldn't do anything about it.

Although he had no way to govern old Mrs. Chen, he can still intimidate the younger generation. He glanced at guilty conscience Mrs. Chen who was sitting on the edge: "What did you tell your mother just now?"

Yue Da Fu didn't really like this daughter-in-law very much; lazy and loose mouth. If it wasn't for old Mrs. Chen who was crying and throwing a tantrum, he wouldn't have allowed her to enter the door.

Mrs. Chen was always afraid of her father-in-law. Seeing him ask such a question, she timidly stood up a little and intermittently responded, "I didn't say much..."

How could old Mrs. Chen care what she said? She directly stated: "Said that I'm about to be cursed by those money-wasting things in the second branch!"

Then she poured out all the words that Wan Niang had said: "Tell me, would I be cursed by those money-wasting things if Patriarch hadn't to stop me and had them dead long ago?"

Yue Da Fu had some doubts in his heart. Wan Niang had just entered the family after all and had her own ideas. But what if what she said was true?

While pondering about what to do, old Mrs. Chen broke into scolding rant. Looking nothing like a someone get cursed. He waved his hand and said, "Stop for a moment. Wait until I go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow and ask."

Baiyun Temple was a temple where most people from nearby areas and villages go to burn incense and pray to Buddha. Incense fire was very prosperous. In the early morning of the second day, Yue Da Fu took Yue Chang Lu and drove an ox cart to Baiyun Temple after getting for the birth dates of several children in the second branch.

Old Mrs. Chen and others waited anxiously at home for a day. Finally, the return of the solemn-looking Yue Da Fu father and son arrived.

"How did it go?" Seeing that he was finally back, Mrs. Chen, who was still laying on the bed, hurriedly sat up with the help of Mrs. Chen and eagerly looked at Yue Da Fu. Because she was afraid of those few money-wasting things harming him, she didn't even dare to let them in the kitchen today!

Yue Da Fu's face was solemn. He sat on the edge of the kang and took a gulp of water before he sighed heavily: "The fortune-telling monk at Baiyun Temple said that our Yue family can't suppress the lives of those children. All in all, we can't live together."

Recalling what the fortune-telling monk said today, the originally skeptical Yue Da Fu believed it more now: "The fortune-telling monk said You Jin, You Zhu, and the two who were just born are in the way of our family."

When she heard that it was the most rebellious You Jin and You Zhu, old Mrs. Chen only felt that her whole body's blood was rushing to her head. Her eyes were a little dark: "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't keep one of them back then!"

After being in a trance for a while, old Mrs. Chen hurriedly spoked: "This can't do. We can't let our family's luck be ruined by these money-wasting things. The two bigger ones, married them out as soon as they can. While the younger ones, simply drown in a bucket!"

Though it was two lives, in old Mrs. Chen's eyes exchanging for the prosperity and wealth of her Yue family with drowning Mrs. Su's money-losing things was worth it.

However, Yue Chang Lu hesitated: "Mother, that's two lives!"

Although he couldn't believe it was his own child that hindered the luck of the whole family, he couldn't drown his own children back then. He couldn't force himself now.

"You worthless thing! Could it be that you want to dig food in the ground for the rest of your life?" Old Mrs. Chen angrily pointed at her son. This was why she looked down her second son the most. Not as smart as Eldest and Third. His personality was also cowardly.

Yue Chang Fu on the side was a ruthless person: "If you lose the generations of wealth of our Yue family for two children that couldn't live for a few days, then Second Younger Brother, you are really the sinner of our Yue family."

Yue Chang Fu only cared him being able to live a good life. Never cared about the life and death of others. Naturally, he said it with no stress.

"Father! Think of Wen Tao brothers. Don't you want to see these two children you have worked so hard to cultivate to stand out?" Mrs. Chen received eye signal from old Mrs. Chen and directly took Yue Da Fu's trump card: "It doesn't matter if I have suffered for half my life, but what about the few children, Father?"

Have to say, Mrs. Chen's words hit Yue Da Fu's heart. Yue Da Fu, who experienced sharp vicissitude in one day, sighed. Sincerely, he looked at Yue Chang Lu and spoke, "Old Second ah. Now Wan Niang had gave birth to a son for you. Whether the two little one can survive is another matter. How about we leave it be?"

Yue Chang Lu's originally mind state shaken a little. Hearing what Yue Da Fu said and thinking how Wan Niang had given birth to a healthy boy, he also felt that it didn't matter. He gav a slight nod: "I'll listen to Father."

Old Mrs. Chen clapped her hands with satisfaction: "Old man, long night means many dreams. How about taking advantage of the night to drown the two calamity stars?"

Thinking that she was still laying on the sickbed and the two precious grandsons will soon be taking the Tongsheng exam, old Mrs. Chen felt the earlier the better.

The main room had yet to negotiated a plan, when this side's You Jin already knew about the vicious heart of old Mrs. Chen and others.

The back story to this: You Jin sister noticed the abnormal attitude of old Mrs. Chen and others. Especially Yue Da Fu and Yue Chang Lu, they entered the main room as soon as they came back and the door was closed. You Jin felt that something was going to happen. Taking advantage of no one's attention, she quietly hid under the window sill to eavesdrop on the movement inside.

While everyone inside was speechless, You Jin quietly snuck back to the west wing. She decided not to hide it from Mrs. Su anymore. She told Mrs. Su everything she had just heard: "Do you really want to watch little Tenth and Kang'er get drowned by that old witch and then sell me and You Zhu?"

Mrs. Su felt her hands that were holding the baby tremble. Her poor babies was only born ten days ago. Was she really going to watch her babies who she had worked so hard to nurture for ten months to be drowned by them?

Mrs. Su burst into tears and shook her head frantically: "No! You Jin, Mother's own fate is terrible. I concur to all the sins I have suffered. But mother can't harm you!"

"But you are only one person. Completely outnumbered. If they really want to take away two children, what can you do?" You Jin was forcing Mrs. Su to be the master of her own life. There was no better opportunity to make Mrs. Su reborn. So she must grasp it well.

Mrs. Su's heart was numb and in turmoil. After pondering for a while, she remembered what happened back then and stretched out a hand to hold You Jin's sleeve tightly: "Quick! Go and beg Patriarch! As long as Patriarch is willing to come forward, we will be fine! "

That's right. Back then, after the birth of You Zhu and You Bao, old Mrs. Chen disliked that it was daughters again and was about to drown them. If it wasn't discovered by You Jin and Patriarch came forward to save the lives of the two sisters, You Zhu and You Bao may have already reincarnated into a family now.

You Jin nodded. Inviting the patriarch was indeed the best method. Not only would it save the two newly born children, but also to make matter big. They can take the opportunity to leave Yue Family! It was a perfect chance from the heaven. Then she said to Mrs. Su: "I can go and ask Patriarch to come, but Mother has to be firm and can't be indecisive anymore. Now that they say that our Yue Family's luck is be hindered, we will live on the edge of fear every day as long as we are still in Yue's house. Patriarch can protect us for a while, but he can't protect us for the rest of our lives."

Mrs. Su took a deep breath. Raising her hand, she slowly and firmly wiped the tears from her face: "Don't worry, Mother won't hold you back."

In fact, how could she not understand what You Jin said before. It was jsut she hadn't been forced to that point. She always can't bear to. But now that it was at a critical moment of her family being destroyed. How can she back down?

You Jin appeased a few girls before explaining to You Yin, You Zhu, and You Bao: "If someone comes to carry away your younger brother and sister later, just run into the yard and cry no matter who it is. Even if it's Father, understand?"

Although the three sisters didn't know what happened and felt a little flustered, they can sense something big was about to happen. They nodded obediently and agreed: "Third Elder Sister, don't worry. We understand!"

Standing at the door of the west wing, she let out a deep breath. Somewhat couldn't believe that she was about to jump out of the fire pit Yue Family. After eleven years of suffering, it was about to end. It felt like an illusion.

Suddenly, the door of the main room opened with a creak. It turned out to be Yue Chang Lu at the lead. He saw You Jin standing at the door of the west wing looking straight at him. For some reason, Yue Chang Lu suddenly felt guilty. As if what he had done was seen through by this precocious daughter.

Judging by his guilty conscience, it seem that they has already decided to come and drown the babies at this moment? You Jin sneered and ignored him. She just opened the courtyard door and walked outside. It was already dark now. The lively village had quieten a lot. It was really a good time to do something bad!

Yue Chang Lu's mind was occupied. He didn't care to ask You Jin where she was going in the evening. In addition, the people in Yue Family involved in this matter didn't know that You Jin already knew their plan. So You Jin opened strolled out of Yue Family's door and went to Patriarch for help.

Chapter 39. Cold blooded

You Jin's footsteps were swift. She arrived at Patriarch's house in several minutes.

Yue family wasn't a well-known family, but they had proliferated at the foot of Cuifeng Mountain for a hundred or two hundred years. Patriarch's family still had some foundations. Patriarch's house was a beautiful and stylish brick and tile house; located in the center of Cuifeng Village. You Jin knocked on the door of the patriarch's house. A moment later, someone answered the door: "You are Uncle Da Fu's granddaughter, right? What's matter bring you here so late?"

"Uncle Chang Sheng, I have something important to request Grandpa Patriarch, please let me in!" Looking distressed, You Jin begged Yue Chang Sheng, the grandson of the patriarch.

As soon as he heard that it was something important, Yue Chang Sheng hurried made way at the door: "Come in and talk about it!"

He led her to the hall, where Yue Shan Chuan, the patriarch of the Yue clan, was sipping tea. Although he didn't have any good tea leaves, Yue Shan Chuan had always enjoyed it.

You Jin walked to Yue Shan Chuan and knelt down at once: "I beg Patriarch to save me and my few younger siblings!"

Yue Shan Chuan was getting older now. On top of that, he hadn't seen You Jin for some years. So he didn't recognize who she was for a moment. Yue Chang Sheng, who was beside him, hurried to his side and briefed, "It's Uncle Da Fu's granddaughter from the second branch, named You Jin."

Only then, Yue Shan Chuan recalled. He twisted his gray beard and looked at her with cloudy eyes: "Little one, why did you come here at night and kneel as soon as you come?"

"Grandpa Patriarch, You Jin came to disturb you so later because I have no other choice. The reason is that my grandfather and my grandmother want to kill my two younger siblings who have just been born for more than ten days! You Jin is too young to have any say. I can only ask Patriarch to take pity on the few of us and take care of us!" After saying that, she kowtowed several times in succession.

"You girl, why are you saying such scary things? Tell me what's happened." When Patriarch heard that Yue Da Fu couple were going to kill the two infants, he couldn't help frowning. This had reoccurred at Yue Family back then. At that time, he gave Da Fu a good persuading. Why did it reach this point again after a few years?

You Jin kept the long story short and told Yue Shan Chuan what she heard with thirty percent false and seventy percent truth: "I beg Patriarch to protect us!"

After listening to her words, Yue Shan Chuan sighed deeply: "If that's the case, I'll go to Yue's house to have a look!"

After all, they were the descendants of Yue Clan. If they were to drown two innocent babies due to a fortune-telling monk, it would be a bit too much.

Hearing that Yue Shan Chuan wanted to go out, Yue Chang Sheng hurriedly came over with a lantern. Afterward, he carefully supported the old man and walked slowly towards the direction of Yue Family.

Outside the gate of Yue Family Courtyard stood a lot of neighbors looking in at the lively scene. Although it was already night, the neighbors who hadn't yet slept heard the sudden sound of adults and children crying and ruckus from Yue Family and ran over to stand outside the earthen wall to watch the drama.

You Jin walked slowly behind Yue Shan Chuan back to the entrance of Yue's house when she heard the cries of several girls from inside. She knew that something had happened. Don't know which person turned their head back first, the crowd hurried to make way at the sight of Patriarch being alerted. Now there was hot drama to watch!

Yue Family's door was currently closed. You Yin and Mrs. Su's each tightly held onto the two babies. Old Mrs. Chen's condition had improved a lot, so she joined in on snatching the babies. Seeing that they didn't let go, she hit the two of them with the bamboo whip: "Each and every one of you are calamity stars. How dare you cry here! So what if I beat you all to death today!"

You Zhu and You Bao also closely guarded the three little ones. The whole family sobbed and kicked up a fuss trouble. It was complete chaos. Yue Da Fu and Yue Chang Fu didn't even show their faces from beginning to end.

Old Mrs. Chen was out of breath. Standing in the middle of the yard, she shook a few times. Mrs. Chen hurriedly supported her: "Mother, you are still ill. Don't get angry!"

"These calamity stars are staving off my life. How can I be good!" Old Mrs. Chen was so furious that her teeth were itching. She thought how if the family hadn't been forestalled for so many years, she might have become an old Madam enjoying life long ago. Then she stuffed the bamboo whip in her hand into Mrs. Chen's hand: "Go and beat for me. Have to kill those two little calamity stars today!"

"Who are you going to kill?" An old and majestic voice boomed outside the door. It turned out that it was Patriarch Yue Shan Chuan who pushed open the courtyard door that You Jin had left a slit when she went out. His displeased expression looked at old Mrs. Chen who was like a fighting cock: "Mrs. Chen, it seems that your temper has grown in the past two years!"

"Pa, Patriarch?!" The sky was dark. Old Mrs. Chen hadn't realized who dared to come in and interfere with their own affairs. It was the nearby Yue Chang Lu who recognized Yue Shan Chuan.

As soon as she heard that Patriarch was here, the once arrogant old Mrs. Chen shied away a lot. She had been brazen all her life. From young, she was doted by her parents. After marrying into Yue Family, Yue Da Fu never beat her or scold her. If there was someone she was afraid of in this life, it was Yue Shan Chuan, the patriarch of Yue Clan.

"It seems that although this old man doesn't go out often, there are still people who remember me!" Yue Shan Chuan coldly took in the chaotic scene in Yue's house and asked, "What's happening? If I didn't know, I would think your family was going to have a slaughter!"

Old Mrs. Chen, who had just threatened to kill the two little calamity stars, can't say a word now. Mrs. Chen was also afraid to speak. On the other hand, Yue Da Fu, who had been away from sight for a long time, heard the movement outside and hurriedly came out: "Uncle Shan Chuan, why did you get alerted to come?"

Yue Shan Chuan had high generation rank in the village. The already grandfather, Yue Da Fu had to greet him properly when he saw him.

"Last time I came back to your house, I told a good wife means less misfortune for the husband and that you should discipline your family members. Now that a few years have passed, it seems that you haven't disciplined them at all!"

Yue Shan Chuan can said to be not giving old Mrs. Chen any face: "Old Second has being without a son for many years. Now, he has a son with great difficulty, you want to kill him instead of carefully nurturing him?"

All dignity was wiped off Yue Da Fu's face by this scolding. Though old Mrs. Chen poisonously glared at Patriarch, she didn't utter anything. She could only attribute all the faults given to her by Patriarch to You Jin who was by Patriarch's side. This calamity star, she will kill her sooner or later!

Now that the fish was dead and the net was broken, how can You Jin be concerned about this? As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Su and her younger sisters covered with red marks left by the bamboo whip on their faces. Distressed, You Jin helped them up and then took little Tenth, who was in You Yin's arms, into her owns. Her eyes were slightly red. She praised the younger sisters who were crying so hard: "Everyone did wonderful. You protected little Tenth and Kang'er!"

Seeing that Third Elder Sister had finally came back, the children were all relieved. Each and every one of them stood beside her with peace of mind and faced old Mrs. Chen and the others as if they were facing the enemy.

Yue Shan Chuan glanced at the villagers outside the earthen wall, who were on their tippy-toes to watch the drama, and sighed. Better leave some face for Yue Da Fu and others: "Don't stand. Go in and talk about it."

Yue Da Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing that Patriarch wouldn't save face for himself in front of the villagers, he ushered everyone in as soon as the these words were said. You Jin sisters marched in behind Mrs. Su into the main room. Standing beside Mrs. Su, You Jin was a little relieved. Mrs. Su finally entered the door of the main room of Yue Family with a straightened back.

Yue Shan Chuan looked at the naked hatred in the eyes of several children from the second branch in the dim candlelight. He couldn't help shaking his head. Unrest was in the family! He turned to look at Yue Da Fu and spoke, "Da Fu, your family affairs aren't something I should interfere with. But if you overstep the line, I can't just sit back and watch. I said back then; though my Yue Clan isn't a famous family, we had taken root in Liutun Town for nearly two hundred years. Although there are no meritorious people, we are good families. Tiger doesn't eat its own children!"

Yue Da Fu's old face had been stomped to the ground by Patriarch. His face flushed as and he hesitantly spoke: "Uncle Shan Chuan, it's not that I want this. It's just that these children are a hindrance to my Yue Family. I can't forsake the future of my Yue Family's dozen for two children who were only born for more than ten days, right?"

Yue Shan Chuan helplessly shook his head: "Da Fu, you said that the few children are blocking your Yue Family's luck. After so many years, your family's life can be regarded up in the tops in our village. Is it not enough?"

Looking at Yue Da Fu's stubborn expression, Yue Shan Chuan understood in his heart: "Da Fu, your heart grown ambitious!"

Then he turned to look at Yue Chang Lu and the others who were silent. His mind thought how this family was too cold-blooded. They were determined to exchange their own blood for an unseeable future!

"It's just a few money-wasting things. Is it worth making such a fuss for!" Although old Mrs. Chen didn't dare to contradict Patriarch, she still dared to whisper: "Intervening in my own family affairs!"

Although old Mrs. Chen kept mumbling, she was very careful not to let others hear what she said.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Yue Shan Chuan glanced at a few children and shook his head. DaFu is getting more and more muddled-headed as he gets older! He turned to look at Yue Da Fu again: "So no matter what, you are determined to drown two children?"

"Grandpa Patriarch, my grandmother also said that she will sell me and Third Elder Sister!" Staying at the side, You Zhu received You Jin's signal and threw out the words that old Mrs. Chen had spoke when she was beating them. "She said my third elder sister and I are both calamity stars. So we have to be sold far away!"

"Da Fu you!" Yue Shan Chuan couldn't believe it: "Even in a disaster year, which household would sell their children when they can feed their children?" The heartbroken Yue Shan Chuan coughed violently as soon as he finished speaking.

Yue Chang Sheng hurriedly patted him on the back and calming him down: "Grandfather, don't get angry. Let's talk slowly if you have something to say."

After a while, Yue Shan Chuan calmed down: "If I didn't come today, will the two little ones die and the two big ones will be sold? Da Fu, you are muddled-headed!"

Everyone in Yue family were silent for the berate. Yue Chang Lu turned his head and fiercely swung a slap at You Zhu: "Who told you to speak! How can you a money-wasting thing speak when adults are talking!"

But before the slap landed on You Zhu's face, it was blocked by the nearby Mrs. Su: "Yue Chang Lu, I've had enough of you and your Yue family! I won't let you touch a single one of my children's hair again!"

It was the first time in Mrs. Su's life that she toughen up as an old hen protecting her young with high fighting power.

Chapter 40. Separate

"I, want to separate with you!" A different glint shone from Mrs. Su's eyes: "Since I married into your Yue Family, I was first beaten by your mother. After giving birth to a child, I was beaten by you. I don't want to live this kind of life any more!"

"You are a lowly one bought back by my Yue Family. You eat and drink the food of my Yue Family for so many years and you still want to separate? Dream on!" Before any one can react, old Mrs. Chen rushed over first and reached out to slap Mrs. Su's face.

At the side, You Zhu was already prepared. She tried her best to tackle old Mrs. Chen. With all her strength, she swung her hands desperately: "Who let you bully my mother! Who let you bully my mother!"

Although You Zhu was thin and feeble, her strength won. The tackle made old Mrs. Chen's ribs hurt. For a moment, she got suppressed: "Ouch! Are you trying to murder! Eldest's wife, you're still not coming over to help! "

The panic-stricken Mrs. Chen finally regained her wits and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the red-eyed You Zhu. She accidentally got her hand scratched: "This child, you gone crazy!"

You Jin handed over little Tenth to You Yin and then rescued You Zhu from Mrs. Chen's claws. The sudden confusion was temporarily relieved.

Mrs. Su smiled sadly and knelt directly in front of Yue Shan Chuan with the baby in her arms: "Patriarch, I have been married to Yue Family for fifteen years; honoring my parents-in-law, serving my husband, and producing children for Yue Family. Even if there is no credit, there was effort. If I alone suffer, I will admit to fate. But my children, they are all flesh that fell from my body! How can I watch them kill my children! Let me take the children and leave Yue's house!"

Yue Shan Chuan sighed. Although he had heard a bit about Yue Family's matter, he didn't know that it had reached this point. He maintained the attitude of persuading for staying over separation: "Mrs. Su, with me here, your two children will have no risk to their life. But if you want to separation how can you, a lone woman with so many children, survive?"

"I beg Grandpa Patriarch to fulfill our wish. As long as we can leave Yue Family, we won't blame others even if we starve to death!" You Jin also knelt down beside Mrs. Su. When the several younger sisters saw her like this, they all knelt down one after another: "We beg Grandpa Patriarch to fulfill our wish!"

"You guys!" Yue Shan Chuan didn't expect these children from the second branch to have such thoughts. He assumed Mrs. Su who bewitched them. Actually, it was the opposite: "You are all still young. Leaving Yue Family means filling the belly full of food become impossible!"

The rest of Yue Family never thought that these money-wasting things from second branch could want to leave Yue Family with Mrs. Su. Old Mrs. Chen was the first one to object. Even selling, meant they could get a few silver liangs. How can she let them go in vain? With Mrs. Chen's support, she sat back to the other end of the kang and viciously declared, "Want to leave after eating my Yue Family's rice for so many years? Pah! How can there be such a wonderful thing in the world!"

When old Mrs. Chen uttered this, the rest of Yue Family didn't make a sound. They originally planned to quietly drown the two babies and explained to outside, they couldn't survive. It wouldn't hurt the reputation of Yue Family then. However, if they end up having a separation, how can Yue Family still have respect once it gets out? Each and every one in Yue Family had their own thoughts and chose to stand on the side of old Mrs. Chen.

You Bao, who quietly snuck out, came back in with a kitchen knife and knelt down in front of Yue Shan Chuan: "Patriarch Grandpa, if we can't leave Yue's house today, then I will use this kitchen knife and chop everyone down tomorrow. Afterward, I'll hack myself to death. My lowly life is worthless. It's up to you to if you can bear to!" The tone displayed her absolute resolute stance. And her eyes piercingly bore on Yue Family.

No one would have thought that You Bao, who had always been soft and weak, would dare to threaten people with a kitchen knife. She was clearly a seven-year-old child, but the appearance of holding a kitchen knife was particularly intimidating. Even Yue Chang Fu and Yue Chang Lu couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts. They involuntarily took a step back.

"You guys are determined to leave Yue Family?" Yue Shan Chuan couldn't believe it. What happened within Yue Family? Why were second branch's girls willing to risk their lives to get away from Yue Family?

You Jin kowtowed toward Yue Shan Chuan: "We just want to leave Yue's house. Afterward, our life and death is no one else's problem."

Then she turned to Yue Da Fu and showed a sinister smile: "You have to be mentally prepared, If you keep us, we might go crazy someday. Today is You Bao holding a kitchen knife. Maybe when you fall asleep, I will kill create a dead fish and broken net situation!"

Maybe due to how intimidating the glinting kitchen knife in You Bao's hand was, or the terrifying expression on You Jin's face, all the adults in Yue family were so frightened that their heart skipped a beat. They intuitively felt that You Jin said it liek she can act on her words.

How depressing! A good family had to be tossed around and scattered! Yue Shan Chuan shook his head: "Oh, it's inconvenient for me to intervene in your family's affairs. Just one point though; don't harm anyone's lives!"

No matter which side he stood on this matter, it was inappropriate. So he simply didn't get involved. After all, he also felt more pity for second branch's children from the bottom of his heart,.

You Jin gratefully glanced at Yue Shan Chuan gratefully: "Grandpa Patriarch, please be a witness for us. We will leave Yue Family."

Mrs. Su and the others were silent. But the appearance of hugging each other showed that they had same opinion as You Jin.

"Now it's dark and windy at night, where can you go once you leave Yue's? Let's talk about it tomorrow?" In the end, Yue Shan Cuan still felt that a large family of orphans and widow mother couldn't live without Yue Family and wanted to delay it. Let the little ones calm down for a night and their minds can be clearer. This impulsive decision made at this moment may harm them for the rest of their lives!

You Jin glanced at the dark sky outside. If it was herself, she didn't care. But it'll be troublesome if Mrs. Su and two newborn younger siblings caught a cold. So she nodded and agreed with Patriarch's words: "Tomorrow morning, I will go and trouble you again."

After sending away the somewhat worried Yue Shanc Cuan, everyone in Yue Family showed their displeasure. Old Mrs. Chen fell on the kang and wailed, while Yue Da Fu sat on the edge of the kang and smoked a dry cigarette. Yue Chang Lu wanted to teach the money-wasting things a lesson, but the sight of You Bao and the kitchen knife in her hand, he solemnly lowered his head.

You Jin motioned to You Yin to take Mrs. Su and the few children back; leaving only You Zhu and You Bao in the main room with her. She looked straight at Yue Da Fu: "Grandfather, if you don't want anything to happen to your precious entry-level examinee grandsons, who are studying in the county town, let us leave Yue's house. After all, one hundred silver liang didn't fall from the sky. Don't you agree?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" A trace of panic flashed in Yue Da Fu's eyes. How could she know about the one hundred silver liangs? His gaze of suspicion landed on Yue Chang Lu: "Old Second?"

Yue Chang Lu was also a little puzzled. He hadn't mentioned this in front of these money-wasting things! Under Yue Da Fu's suspicious eyes, he hurriedly shook his head in denial: "Father, I didn't say it!"

You Jin showed a smile of ridicule. It hadn't even started yet and it was already the start dog biting dog? S

She spoke: "If you want people to not know, then don't do it. Since we reached this point, doing one more thing won't do anything. Even if I die, I will pull you down with me! One hundred silver liang will be for naught. And the future of your two precious grandsons is gone. Or you can let us go. You choose!"

"Then how am I to know if you will publicize this matter after leave Yue Family?" Yue Da Fu's eyes dimmed. He never thought that his life of smooth sailing to be tripped up by a few money-wasting thing. His mind recalled the fortune-telling monk's words. Now it seem that it had all come true.

You Jin smiled and shook her head: "You have no choice. If you don't let us go, I will let the whole village know about it tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, everyone in the surrounding area will know that you bribed the examiners with money. If you don't believe me, you can try."

Now that she had the trump card in hand, Yue Da Fu can't negotiate with her however he want to.

"You money-wasting things have eaten and drank the food of my Yue family for so many years and you want leave cause you want to? How can there be such a good thing!" Now that Patriarch was gone, laying-on-the-kang old Mrs. Chen's family head attitude had come out again. She had got her way all her life. Never in her imagination would she think she would be treated like this by these money-wasting things who were in her grasp since young?

"Grandmother, think carefully. There's eight of us sisters. As long as Patriarch is alive, how many of us can you sell? Step back 10,000 steps, even if your precious grandson scored a rank in the imperial examination, then we are all Yue Family's young miss. At that time, wouldn't the dowry taken out require more money?" You Jin naturally knew old Mrs. Chen's weak spot. After abusing them for more than ten years, how can she be willing to pay a lot of money to her least favorite money-wasting things' dowry?

Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, old Mrs. Chen immediately shut up. Needless to ay, she was unwilling!

Still, You Jin wasn't satisfied with this: "And Yue Chang Lu, do you think you can escape? Look at yourself. What do you have to copy others and marry an equal wife? The law is that if the legitimate wife report you on marrying equal wife, then you and your Wan Niang can go to prison. What? You didn't know?"

You Jin's words seem to have struck a lightning within Yue Family. Did marrying an equal wife means jail time!? Yue Chang Lu's face instantly became very ugly. He didn't know this, but he had heard of people talk about having an equal wife. How could he possibly delve deeper? You Jin was satisfied Yue Family's reactions: "If his second uncle goes to prison, can Yue Wen Tao still participate in the examinations?"

Yue Wen Tao and Yue Wen Li can be said to be the hope and trump card of Yue Family. But now this trump card had been tightly held by You Jin. How can they get around it? It wasn't like they can kill all the people in the second branch?

Yue Da Fu was also in a state of turmoil. The head of the family can't make the decision, what can other people do then? Each and every one of them could only stare blankly. After a while, Yue Da Fu solemnly state: "I can promise to let you all go with Mrs. Su, but you must give me a guarantee."

What guarantee? Of course, the future of his two golden grandsons!

You Jin smilingly shook her head: "Grandfather, you don't get at this point? You and everyone else aren't qualified to negotiate conditions with me. But I can promise you, as long as we leave Yue Family, I won't mention anything about Yue Family from now on. Just one point, if there anything happen in the future, don't find us. How about it?"

"You really think you are someone important, don't you? Just a few locusts and you treat yourself as a treasure, don't you?" Old Mrs. Chen couldn't outspeak her. So she could only unreasonably scold to gain some face. But no one paid any attention to her at all. Since she did it in vain, she could only grudgingly pout and remain silent.

You Jin had said all she needed. She took You Zhu and You Bao back to the west wing: "You guys discuss it among yourselves."

But now it was like this, what solution can Yue Family come up with? The whole family in the main room only spoke words of shirking responsibility. They stayed all night in vain and didn't come up with any plan.
