Chapter 1578 - 1580: They’re Trying to Make Yang Dong Take the Fall
At this moment, Yang Xiaocui was feeling a bit uneasy. She knew her mother had gone to the Yang Family to invite Yang Dong.
She was somewhat worried, fearing that Yang Dong would refuse to come for dinner, which would foil their plan.
With these thoughts in mind, she finally looked forward to her mother’s return. As soon as her mother entered the house, she went up to her and asked, "Mother, how did it go? Did he say he would come?"
Lan Hua, with a proud glance at her little daughter, said, "Xiaocui, Yang Dong agreed, he promised to be here on time in the evening."
Upon hearing the news that Yang Dong would come, Yang Xiaocui felt relieved and thought to herself that tomorrow’s matter must succeed!
After informing her little daughter, Lan Hua went out and called the rest of the family, who all came out asking.
"Mother, what’s the matter?"
"Mother-in-law, what’s the matter?"
"..."
"..."
This coming day was very important for her little daughter, and she couldn’t let her family mess it up. So, she called everyone out and said, "During the busy farming times, Yang Dong has helped us a lot. I thought of inviting him for dinner tomorrow evening, so make sure not to embarrass me."
"Got it, Mother."
They agreed, yet they were puzzled. It had been so long, why invite him only now, and when had their mother ever invited someone for dinner?
While they were wondering, they heard their mother say again, "Boss, your father died early, and we have no one to hold the household together. The dinner tomorrow depends on you brothers. Don’t neglect that boy Yang Dong — offer him drinks, that’s proper etiquette."
"Understood, Mother."
Lan Hua nodded and then looked at her three daughters-in-law, "You three, speak less tomorrow. Just do what you’re told, and don’t embarrass me. Keep an eye on the children, don’t let them cause trouble."
This young daughter of hers was about to do something big and couldn’t let the family mess it up.
After giving instructions, she went back inside.
The others also went back, but the three daughters-in-law gathered together.
The third daughter-in-law opened her mouth, saying, "Tomorrow night will be quite a show!"
"What’s going on?" the other two daughters-in-law asked.
The third daughter-in-law, with a mysterious look, said, "Let me tell you, I saw Mother bring back that thing. Tell me, why would an old woman buy that thing? And now she’s inviting Yang Dong over, it must be for him. I reckon Mother wants Yang Dong to..."
As she spoke, she brought her index fingers close together in a gesture that made the other two daughters immediately understand.
"Oh my, Mother and Little Sister are too bold. They want Yang Dong to take the fall!"
"Keep your voice down, that’s why I said there’s a show to watch. If it works out, alright. If it doesn’t, we’ll be accomplices."
"..."
"..."
Although Yang Xiaocui’s three sisters-in-law tended to be a bit greedy and tight with money, it was all thanks to a mother-in-law like Lan Hua that pressured them. They had never done anything so wicked; after all, they came from honest farm families.
When it came to such outrageous deeds, they still dared not participate. They were all thinking that they couldn’t let their husbands get involved; if they did and it got discovered later, they might not be able to stay in Yang Family village anymore.
Each made up her mind and went back to persuade her husband.
