Aunt Lan Hua was already exhausted from her anger.

And now, her own daughter added to her frustration, making her explode. While coughing, she said, "Nonsense, if you weren’t born by me, then who was your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaocui smirked, "Heh, I really can’t tell that I’m your own child."

"In this family, I eat less than anyone else, and work more than anyone else."

"You always say a girl doesn’t need to eat much, but why does the little niece at home eat more than I do?"

"When I hit my head on a tree, you didn’t care about my injury, not as much as Yang Dong’s mother did. The doctor said I was sick and needed medicine, yet you sold my medicine."

"I was threatened by Yang Daniu, ultimately cornered, and violated by him. Yet you wanted me to stay with him to avoid losing money, forcing me to continue yielding to him."

"To ensure I married Yang Dong, you claimed to buy medicine, but you bought fake medicine to save money, heh."

"Am I really your biological daughter? I feel like I’m not."

"In your heart, there’s only your silver; it’s more important than anything. Just now, when you returned from Yang Dong’s house, what you looked at was not me, but the silver."

"You also wanted me to say I found Yang Dong and Li Chuntao on the mountain to avoid returning the betrothal gifts."

Yang Xiaocui’s words were so pitiful, nearly moving all the villagers present.

If it weren’t for having such a mother who only recognized money, how would a fifteen-year-old child be forced to commit such outrageous acts?

Being reproached by her daughter this way, Aunt Lan Hua was nearly driven to death with rage. She immediately began to curse, "Damn you, if you hadn’t pretended to faint and disregard your reputation, would I have to clean up your mess?"

"Even if I want money, I know the importance of reputation. I didn’t make you pretend to faint, and now that something happened, you’re blaming everything on me, saying I tarnished the family’s name and lost all the property."

Aunt Lan Hua was now coughing continuously with anger, having just been betrayed by her son and daughter-in-law, she hadn’t yet recovered.

Now her own daughter added to her woes, making her feel her life was near its end.

Her daughter and son were both like debts, here to torment her.

As Yang Xiaocui spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she turned to look at Yang Dong.

"Yang Dong, even though I pretended to faint, at that time, I really just wanted to marry you and live a good life with you, without thinking of doing anything wrong."

"But the pretended fainting was discovered by Yang Daniu, and I had no choice but to repeatedly silence him, which led to so many mistakes."

"I know I was wrong, but it’s too late to say anything now. There’s no going back."

"I can only repay in the next life!"

"I’m sorry!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Not good, Yang Xiaocui is going to take her own life."

Seeing this situation, the Village Chief also shouted anxiously, "Quick, stop her."

At this moment, Yang Xiaocui, with a knife in her hand, was smiling in a relieved way.

Her mother falsely claimed she would cut her wrist to kill herself, so she might as well end it by cutting her wrist.

After all, she was ruined by Yang Daniu, her marriage was off, her reputation destroyed, and she no longer wanted to live.

"Hahaha!"

A crazed laugh unknowingly escaped her lips.

She closed her eyes, preparing to slash down.

But at the critical moment, the knife didn’t fall as expected.

She was forced to open her eyes and saw that Yang Dong had stopped her. She asked in confusion, "Why?"
