Tang Yu was curious to see if Tang An had any reaction till now. She said to Madam Wu, “Mother, I’ll go over and take a look at Tang An.”
Madam Wu immediately knew what Tang Yu wanted to do. She nodded. “Go, go. See what good stuff they received and grab some. That damn girl is too ungrateful. She doesn’t even remember to give us anything on her own.”
Tang Yu nodded. “Okay, Mother.”
There were so many good things, and there were also a few pieces of especially good materials. She also took a fancy to them. A dress made from that material would definitely be very beautiful.
The two families were only separated by a wall.
Tang Yu knocked on the door. “Tang Yuan, open the door.”
Tang Yuan frowned when he heard this voice. He and Tang An were cooking. When he started the fire, his hand froze and the smile on his face disappeared. “Sister, they must be here to take something from us.”
Tang An also frowned. She did not want to give these things to her uncle and aunt. Her wedding date with Liu Dalang was set. She was going to get married on the sixth day of June next year. At that time, she would not have much time to go back to her family. She wanted to leave everything to Tang Yuan.
Tang An sighed. “Go and open the door.”
Tang Yuan was annoyed. After a while, he said, “Sister, I’ve thought about it. Our family has nothing to do with Uncle’s family. They’ve never given us anything. In the future, we won’t give them anything either.”
Tang An gritted his teeth. “Yuan, you’re still young…”
Tang Yuan looked up at Tang An and interrupted her. “Sister, I’ll grow up eventually. All these years, they never treated us well. They even wanted to marry you to an old man. This is enough. If it weren’t for Brother-in-law’s mother, we wouldn’t be able to get any of these. I must keep these for you.”
Tang Yuan knew that the Liu family was a good bunch.
Therefore, he understood that he had to stand up and resist.
His uncle and aunt were used to taking stuff from them. If this continued, eventually, they would have nothing left at home.
He must stand up for himself and his sister. Otherwise when he was married in the future, his family would still be used by his uncle and aunt.. His life would only become more and more difficult.
Tang Yu was angry that Tang An and Tang Yuan didn’t open the door. She smacked the door and shouted. “Tang An, Tang Yuan, what are you two doing? Why don’t you open the door?”
Tang Yuan looked at Tang An and went to open the door.
After opening the door, Tang Yu immediately entered the courtyard. She sniffed and went to the kitchen. Looking at the fish, she started drooling and said, “Is this fish ready? I’ll take it to my parents.”
Tang An looked at Tang Yu calmly. “Yu, this is for me and Yuan. If Uncle and Aunt want to eat it, you have to go to the city to buy one.”
Tang Yu immediately exploded with anger. “Tang An, you ingrate! Don’t be arrogant just because you found a good marriage. Let me tell you, if not for my parents, you and your brother would have died long ago. Don’t you have a conscience?”
“People without a conscience will die very miserably.”
Tang Yu looked at Tang An arrogantly and disdainfully. She stole a glance at Tang An’s stomach and saw that it was still unchanged. She could not help but feel anxious.
Tang An bit her lips and clenched her hands without saying anything.
In a fit of anger, Tang Yuan pushed Tang Yu. “Who do you think you are? I’m the one in charge of my family now. I don’t need you to tell me whether I have a conscience or not. It’s not that your family took care of us for nothing. Half of my family’s land is occupied by your family. How much grain did you give us every year during harvest?”
Tang Yu was stunned for a moment before she shouted in a sharp voice. “Tang Yuan, are you crazy?”
Tang Yuan’s eyes were filled with anger. “I’m not crazy. You’re the ones who are crazy. From now on, don’t ever dream about taking a single dime from my house anymore. Get out. You’re not welcome in my house.”
Tang Yuan straightened his back like an angry lion.
He knew that Tang An was soft-hearted and did not want to fall out with their only uncle. His sister could tolerate it, but he could not.
He did not want Tang An to be controlled by their uncle and aunt in the future.
Tang Yu was really frightened. This was the first time she saw Tang Yuan flare up like this. She frowned. “Is there something wrong with him?”
She was really afraid that Tang Yuan would go crazy and do something. She shot Tang An an angry look before storming out.
Tang An’s stomach did not change at all. Tang Yu was scolded for nothing and was furious.
When she got home, she complained. “Mother, why isn’t there any change in Tang An’s stomach? That little bastard Tang Yuan even scolded me.”
Madam Wu’s eyes turned cold. “Don’t be anxious. It will be obvious in a few days. These two ingrates! We should’ve just let them starve to death in the first place.”
As for the betrothal presents, Madam Wu comforted Tang Yu. “Don’t worry. Soon, it will all be yours.”
Tang Yu was still unhappy, but thinking that she would be able to take revenge in a few days, she gritted her teeth. “I just feel indignant.”
What could she do? She could only endure it for now.
Tang Yuan did not believe that his cousin, who had always been difficult to deal with, would be scolded away just like that.
Tang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He closed the door and returned to the kitchen to eat with Tang An. He felt that after scolding away Tang Yu, his appetite had improved a lot. He smiled and said, “Sister, look. As long as I get angry, she’ll be afraid.”
Actually, it was not that difficult to take this first step. Although the Liu family had said that they would help, he could not possibly ask them for help for every small matter.
Tang An nodded. “My Little brother is the best.”
Tang Yuan lowered his head shyly, but inside, he was proud.
Tang Yuan picked up a piece of fish for Tang An. “Sister, eat more.”
Tang An shook her head. “It smells strange to me. It’s all yours.”
Perhaps it was because her stomach was a little upset, but when she smelled the fish, she felt like vomiting.
Seeing that Tang An really did not want to eat it, Tang Yuan did not insist. He ate it all.
After dinner, the two of them went to clean up the farmland. They had to plant things next year and needed to clear up the land in advance. This year, with Liu Dalang helping them, the work became less burdensome.
Tang Yu was curious to see if Tang An had any reaction till now. She said to Madam Wu, “Mother, I’ll go over and take a look at Tang An.”
