Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 910 - 899: The Partial Grandma of the Transmigrated Female Lead

The Second Son Yang has come into money, something everyone in the village has noticed lately, along with knowing Granny Ye’s indifferent attitude toward her wealthy son.

"Hey, they say Second Son Yang has money now, so why does Granny Ye still go out selling eggs every day?" a woman gossiped.

Then someone nearby retorted, "No matter how much money he has, it’s not Sister Ye’s money. The family is already divided, so whatever money Second Son Yang and his wife earn is theirs."

"But I heard the Yao Family has already come twice to ask for money."

"I know, Second Son Yang brought over some food and supplies, but Sister Ye only accepted a piece of cloth and nothing else."

"Granny Ye is quite polite about it. Wasn’t she unfriendly to Second Son Yang’s family before? I thought she’d be nicer to them now that they have money!"

"That’s called being consistent. I quite admire Sister Ye for that."

"Exactly, and as for Eldest Son Yang and Third Son Yang, they haven’t been cozying up to Second Son Yang just because he has money. It shows they have some pride. If they acted like the Yao Family, shamelessly asking for money, that would truly be embarrassing. I’ve gained new respect for them."

"Not to mention, Eldest Son Yang and Third Son Yang aren’t living badly. Just the other day I saw Eldest Son Yang and Ji Qiuyan heading out to fish and sell the catch. The teacher at the academy even praised Shuchen, and not long ago Third Son Yang officially became a Government Official, so he’s got a stable position. Who knows what the future holds for him? There’s really no need to cling to Second Son Yang."

"But Second Son Yang’s family has bought a house and shops in the county. How many years would it take as a Government Official to make that kind of money? And Shuchen is only eleven. Even with future prospects, who knows how many years it’ll take? I still think highly of Second Son Yang."

"No matter how much we talk, they’ve already got it all figured out themselves. Besides, it’s not like Second Son Yang can make all the decisions about the money on his own."

"I gotta say, the way the Yao Family behaves is really unsightly. Also, Second Son Yang is too kind and honest. If it were me—back then they wouldn’t let me marry their daughter without a hefty bride price, and now they’re here for money—I wouldn’t give them a dime. And they shouldn’t worry about Yang Baocai being upset in his grave."

"What can you do? He loves Yao Xue Mei. Because of her, his relationship with his mom and brothers has deteriorated."

"Do you think it’s weird that the Yang Family suddenly decided to divide? Though Sister Ye requested it, wasn’t it unreasonable? Yang Xiaomei hasn’t even settled down yet. Right after the split, Second Son Yang made a lot of money. I feel like something’s off."

Someone with sharp eyes noticed someone walking over from afar and quickly interrupted: "That’s enough, that’s enough. Aunt Li, congratulations on your daughter having a big, healthy baby boy."

The person called Aunt Li immediately beamed with joy: "Isn’t that right? Even though we say boys and girls are the same, her husband’s family likes it because he’s the only son."

Yang Yuxin, though far away, heard all the gossip clearly because the women weren’t speaking quietly. Her face showed an ambiguous expression—neither pleased nor displeased—though she maintained her usual, honest demeanor, there was something about her that made others uneasy. Perhaps it was the effect of becoming a wealthy business owner.

Second Son Yang returned home with a gloomy face, struggling for a long time to suppress his anger. But he truly loved Xue Mei; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to marry her back then. Yet, he couldn’t help but doubt the family split once more. Even now, his mother, eldest brother, and third brother barely spoke to him, and even gifts seemed to go unappreciated. Could it be that Xue Mei and Xiudan really did something wrong?

He didn’t want to suspect his own family, but he’d already let his father down and couldn’t do the same to his mother. If possible, he would give up the wealth and live contently with his blood relatives.

But now the family was divided. What was the point of questioning his wife and daughter again? He hoped his mother would accept his filial gestures, his eldest and third brothers would accept his help, and he certainly couldn’t continue indulging the Yao Family. He had been good enough to his wife’s family; the things his mother-in-law enjoyed, his mother hadn’t even experienced.

His mother now wakes up early every day to feed chickens and sell eggs, while his father-in-law and mother-in-law are living a rich life because of their family. No wonder people gossip.

So, when his father-in-law and mother-in-law came requesting again, for the first time, he refused: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please go back. If you count it up, I’ve given you around 30 to 40 taels of silver already. I won’t be giving any more this time."

Yao Shuping and Du Sanniang could hardly believe the words came from their son-in-law. Did he dare refuse them?

"Thirty to forty taels? How’s that possible? And didn’t you make a lot of money? What’s wrong with offering us some respect? What, you get rich and then don’t recognize people anymore? Let me tell you, Yang Yuxin, if you hadn’t begged, I wouldn’t have let Xue Mei marry you," Du Sanniang attacked fiercely.

Yang Yuxin pressed his lips together, his expression unpleasant, and Yang Xiudan and Yang Shuliang also looked unhappy, while Yao Xue Mei grew anxious as her husband clashed with her parents, never having considered such a confrontation before.

Yang Xiudan felt it was long overdue. With grandparents like hers, no amount would ever be enough. This was their hard-earned money; why let them squander it? Her mother was too filial—a yes-woman. Wasn’t the saying "a daughter married off is like poured-out water"? Especially in this era, why was there such devotion to one’s maternal family?

To put it bluntly, even her biased grandmother wasn’t like this. Compared to them, she felt much better towards her biased grandmother.

"Xue Mei was married to me after I paid the bride price, and you know how much you demanded. How my father died, you are well aware. For the sake of Xue Mei, I’ve tolerated you for years. Now get out, and don’t even think of taking a single coin from my household anymore," Yang Yuqin finally unleashed his anger, speaking harshly for the first time.

His fury silenced everyone, including Yang Xiudan. Why did it seem like there was a lot of information in his words? Could her unseen grandfather’s death be related to her parents’ marriage?

If that’s the case, no wonder her grandmother played favorites!

Thinking of it this way, she suddenly felt guilty again. Recalling the family split because of her actions and how even if they sent money, food, or cloth to her grandmother, eldest uncle, and third uncle, they wouldn’t accept it, she started feeling restless.

But how could parents be angry with their own children? Haven’t her parents done enough over the years? They should have let go of their anger by now. Every time she saw her father go with hope and return with disappointment, her heart ached immensely.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have been more discreet back then to prevent her father from being ostracized by her grandmother’s family.
