Old Madam Rong felt as if the sky was falling upon her head, her eyes flushed red and she looked at Yu Dong as if she wanted to eat her flesh.
" What are you talking about? We haven't agreed to the separation yet," when Old Master Rong heard that he would have to distribute the properties, he immediately became vigilant. Though Old Madam Rong did not have a lot of land, she was not poor either.
However the number of people in their family was too many, Rong Xi had so many daughters, if the properties were distributed here, what would be left for his granddaughters?
" Thats right, we don't agree," though Rong Xi was not smart, she was not a fool either. She knew that her resources were in danger and immediately refused to let Rong Yi separate. What was more, she wanted to see Rong Yi suffer even more, ever since they were children, Rong Yi was really smart and was able to earn money in one way or another.
While she could not, even though her father pampered her to the high heavens, she knew that Rong Yi was better than her. Rong Xi wanted to see Rong Yi suffer before withering away just like how she had burned in insecurities and jealousy watching Rong Yi get better and better, how could she allow her to leave like this?
" So you want to send your youngest daughter to the Yamen?" Yu Dong was not willing to take another step behind, it was fine if they agreed politely but since they wanted to fight then she would willing to fight with them.
As soon as Rong Xi and Old Master Rong heard Yu Dong's words, they withered away like a frosted eggplant. With such a big piece of information in her hands, Yu Dong could easily deal with them. Now that Yu Dong had their weakness in her hands even if they wanted to refuse, they dared not to do so.
Seeing that Yu Dong was not even giving them the slightest bit of leeway, Old Madam Rong turned to look at her daughter and then beseeched politely, " Yi'er, I know that mother was wrong. Mother will treat you and Shiqi well in the future, so why don't you forget this? Let's go back home, there is no need for you to separate.
Your daughter is still young and you would need someone experienced to take care of her, your father would take good care of your daughter."
" I dare not," Rong Yi was someone who had been bitten more than twice, she looked at her mother and then coldly said, " I fear that if I leave my daughter in his care, I would find her drowned in water vat or something since she is a threat to his precious granddaughters."
Rong Yi was foolishly abiding the filial piety but that does not mean that she was foolish, she knew very well that her stepfather was not a good mer and her mother was not a good thing either.
" You! Rong Yi! Are you out of your mind how dare you say something like that to your father?" Old Madam Rong questioned angrily, her husband was her childhood sweetheart, and she could not bear to hear even a single word wrong about him.
Seeing her mother so agitated, Rong Yi sneered and then said, " Am I out of my mind or you are a fool? Do you really think that Rong Xi dared to push me off the building without someone egging her from behind? With her little guts, how could she even think about doing something so heinous?"
Rong Yi knew her sister too well, though Rong Xi hated her, she did not have the guts to do something so cruel. It must have been someone else who whispered in her ears and made her take such a drastic step, after all, she and Rong Xi were growing up. If she surpassed Rong Xi then Rong Xi would definitely have to lower her head in the future, so it was better to nip the bud before it bloomed!
This kind of thing Old Master Rong knew very well!
Hearing Rong Yi's words, Old Master Rong stiffened. He looked at Rong Yi who sneered at him and felt his heart skip a beat, he immediately shook his head and said, " You are accusing me falsely, Rong Yi. I know you don't like me but there is no need for you to treat me so harshly like this, right?" As he spoke, Old Master Rong's eyes turned red and he shed a few tears.
Rong Yi did not speak any further she was too tired after seeing Old Master Rong's performance over the years, instead it was Old Madam Rong who couldn't withstand her husband crying like such and turned to look at Rong Yi with blame in her eyes as she scolded her fiercely, " Rong Yi, you unfilial child what are you trying to do? Quickly apologize to your father!"
However, Rong Yi did not bow her head. As a daughter, she was weak but as a mother, she dared not to lower her head because it would be her daughter who would suffer instead!
Seeing that Rong Yi was not lowering her head, Old Madam Rong panicked. Was her daughter serious this time?
Yu Dong did not care about the thoughts that were going on in the head of the Rong family, she immediately asked for Village head Gu to come to the Rong family with two sets of paper and brush.
" Since the matter has been decided let's discuss how to distribute the properties," Yu Dong spoke up when she saw Village head Gu rushing towards the Rong family. She had long heard of the good deeds that the Rong family had done and was really dissatisfied, what was Old Madam Rong doing? Stealing the funds handed out by the magistrate? Was she not afraid of the law?
Or did she have too many lives on her hands and thought that she might as well waste one?
