Chapter 1577 - 1579: I’ll Be There on Time Tomorrow Night
The Yang Family
After dinner, just as the family was about to retire to their respective rooms, someone came by.
It was none other than Aunt Lan Hua.
Although the two families were already connected by marriage, everyone still had some reluctance towards Aunt Lan Hua. They weren’t very willing to associate with someone like her, but there was no choice. After all, she was the future mother-in-law of the fourth son.
The fourth son’s mother-in-law visiting usually meant trouble nine times out of ten!
"Just finished eating, have you?" Aunt Lan Hua said as soon as she entered.
"Yes, just finished, aunt. Please come in. What brings you here today?" Yang Ming’s mother welcomed Aunt Lan Hua inside.
Aunt Lan Hua looked at the family and said, "It’s like this, dear in-law. During the busy farming season, your Yang Dong helped out a lot at our place. He used our ox cart and horse cart. At that time, it was so busy I couldn’t entertain him. Now that the busy season is over, I thought I would invite Yang Dong over for dinner at our place tomorrow night."
Everyone was extremely surprised to hear this. Did the sun rise in the west today?
Did they hear it wrong? Aunt Lan Hua was actually inviting Yang Dong for dinner?
At this moment, Yang’s father spoke up, "Aunt, there’s no need to go to such trouble. The fourth boy is soon to be your son-in-law. It’s only right for a son-in-law to help out the mother-in-law’s family with some work. Every son-in-law does that; there’s no need to entertain that rascal."
Yang Ming’s mother chimed in as well, "Yes, there’s no need for a meal; it’s really unnecessary."
Seeing the Yang family’s elder couple decline, Aunt Lan Hua quickly spoke again, "No, that’s not good. This meal must happen; otherwise, people will say our family lacks courtesy. It’s settled then. I’ll prepare tomorrow evening. Yang Dong, you must come."
Aunt Lan Hua’s intention was to have Yang Dong go over. Otherwise, wouldn’t the things she bought be wasted?
No matter what, today she had to get Yang Dong to agree to come to her house.
Yang’s father still wanted to refuse, but Yang Dong spoke up, "Aunt Lan Hua, I’ll be there on time tomorrow evening."
The reason Yang Dong agreed was to see what Aunt Lan Hua was up to. She was usually so stingy that she hadn’t even touched a strand of hair from the food brought by the big uncle’s family, and now she was inviting him for dinner? Something definitely felt off.
Moreover, he was already suspicious of Yang Xiaocui. He planned to use this opportunity to probe into the matter of the silver hairpin.
Seeing Yang Dong agree, Aunt Lan Hua was overjoyed and immediately stood up, "Alright then, it’s settled. I’ll wait for you at home tomorrow."
After finishing, Aunt Lan Hua headed out. She couldn’t stay; what if they changed their minds about the agreed plan?
After Aunt Lan Hua left, the second daughter-in-law couldn’t help but speak up, "Is Aunt Lan Hua really that kind-hearted? Inviting the fourth brother over for dinner?"
"Could be. After all, the fourth brother has some silver on him. Given Aunt Lan Hua’s nature, she’s definitely looking to curry favor," Yang Gang analyzed on the side.
"What you said makes sense," said the second daughter-in-law, then turned to Yang Dong, "Fourth brother, you better keep a firm grip on that silver. Last time, even the second sister-in-law didn’t want to mention it. Although it’s your silver and you can use it however you like, there’s no need to buy such an expensive silver hairpin for Yang Xiaocui. She’s not even married into the family yet; it’s uncertain if she ever will be. There’s no need to spend silver on her. Wait until she’s married."
"Got it, I won’t spend any more silver on her."
