Old Mrs. Yang originally wanted to throw dirty water on Rong Xintong, also known as Tong Jia.

It was said that she was immoral before marriage and had an affair with someone, which was discovered by Yang Jixia, so she fabricated this scheme to frame Yang Jixia.

This idea came to me when I saw Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) protecting the little boy with her body, but the little boy was only seven or eight years old and his hair had not yet grown out.

Although she had just scolded Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) for her indecent behavior of protecting the little boy, no one would believe that Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) would have an affair with a seven or eight-year-old child before getting married.

But before she could ask Mrs. Chen to find someone, Uncle Chen came with Yang Jichun and the clansmen.

She was still tightly holding the letter that Yang Jixia had the little boy deliver to her. If she destroyed it now, it would be an attempt to cover up her guilt.

At this moment, Yang Jiqiu foolishly asked, "Did my second brother take the things from home? That makes sense. Ever since he was expelled from school, he seems to be particularly short of money."

"Yes, last month he borrowed all my pocket money and said he would pay it back after we got married.

I think he had already decided at that time that after getting married, he would run away and refuse to pay back the debt. Yang Jidong added, directly confirming that Yang Jixia was expelled from school and had planned to leave home.

Old Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth in hatred, but she couldn't do anything to her children. She could only glare at Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) with resentment.

Tong Jia pretended to be apprehensive, but inwardly she was thinking: This old lady isn't as clever as Grandma Rong described her to be. Her thoughts are clearly on her face; now is the time to retreat.

Since she doesn't use this method, don't blame me for using it.

She seemed to have suddenly found her backbone and rushed towards the oldest man in the yard.

Grabbing the man's arm, he begged, "Senior, can you lend me ten dollars?

That heartless bastard Yang Jixia knocked me out on my wedding night and took away all my dowry. I finally know where he is, and I'm determined to find him.

I have to ask him what he means.

Did he dislike me and not want me from the very beginning, or did he just decide on me on a whim after seeing my dowry?

You, the Yang family, cannot bully a weak woman like me like this. My father is a well-known teacher. If he knew that I had suffered such a great injustice in the Yang family, he would be so sad and upset.

Wuuwu... Wuuwu..."

The person whose arm was grabbed by Tong Jia happened to be the oldest elder in the Yang family, and was like a patriarch in the entire Yang family.

After hearing Tong Jia's crying, he sighed and comforted her perfunctorily: "Ji Xia's daughter-in-law, don't cry yet. You have to let us figure out what the situation is first."

After saying that, he winked at the middle-aged men behind him, and then took two of them and Yang Jichun into the main house.

The other two middle-aged men, one went to guard the door, and the other went to find the child who delivered the letter. Yang Jichun's wife carried Tong Jia to the bridal chamber without saying a word.

As soon as she entered the door, Yang Jichun's wife screamed "Ah", which scared everyone in the yard and the main house.

Of course, those who were frightened did not include those who already knew that the bridal chamber was basically empty.

As soon as Yang Jiqiu and Yang Jidong woke up, they ran to the main house to find their mother and cried to her that something was missing from their room and they had no idea what was happening in the bridal chamber.

After hearing the eldest sister-in-law's call, the brother and sister ran over together.

Seeing that there was only a bed left in the room, Yang Jidong immediately became angry.

He shouted angrily, "Second brother clearly promised me that after he got married, he would go out and build a house on his own like eldest brother, and give me this house and the study. How could he empty out all the things in the house?"

I said that when I lay down last night, I was clearly thinking about getting up in the middle of the night to make trouble in his bridal chamber, so how could I have slept so soundly that I didn't even notice someone coming into my room to take something.

It must be that my second brother had this idea a long time ago and put drugs in yesterday's food.

Otherwise, he couldn't move all that furniture by himself, so many people must have come."

"That's right, second brother is so mean. Taking my things is fine, but how could he even take my..."

"Shut up! I'm not dead yet, why are you two talking nonsense here again?

It's still unclear what exactly happened, yet you're fabricating stories about your second brother and pinning the blame on him.

What if someone is taking advantage of this opportunity to frame someone?"

Before Yang Jiqiu could finish his words, he was stopped by Old Lady Yang.

Firstly, he wanted to save face for his second son, and secondly, he didn't want to ruin his daughter's reputation.

Yang Jiqiu was right when he said that it was impossible for one person to move so much furniture.

Regardless of whether Yang Jixia hired someone to do it, it meant that someone entered their house while she and her daughter were sleeping.

In fact, she had long wanted to use this reason to accuse Tong Jia, saying that she had lost her reputation and wanted to drown her.

But then she thought of herself and her daughter who were also at home. If Tong Jia's reputation was lost, she and her daughter would not be able to escape either. So she changed her mind and decided to appease Tong Jia first, and then find someone to pretend to be Tong Jia's lover and frame her for all this.

However, Uncle Chen, who had always been smart, failed to understand her meaning this time and brought the Yang family members here so quickly. The twin children were simply bad teammates, which made her very tired.

It seems impossible to find a complete way to get rid of the second son in a short period of time.

Looking at Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) who kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Mrs. Yang's eyes were about to spit fire.

But the letter paper in his hand had just been taken away by his eldest son Yang Jichun, and the little mute who came to deliver the letter was also taken away by other people in the clan. It was simply a pipe dream to want to turn black into white.

Thinking of what Yang Jixia wrote in the letter, she knew that her son must have gone to war.

If he could survive, he would be considered a meritorious person. By then, everyone would be eager to curry favor with him, and no one would mention this shameful history again.

But if he doesn't survive, it would be worth sacrificing his reputation to preserve the reputation of everyone in the Yang family.

After realizing this, Old Mrs. Yang stopped stiffening her neck and scolding her children. Instead, she softened instantly and fainted again.

This time, unlike her previous genuine feelings, she was pretending.

Faced with a mother whose heart was broken by her son, the balance of people present naturally tilted towards her.

Old Mrs. Yang was sent back to the house by everyone. After most people in the house had left, she immediately stood up and grabbed the pillow. She felt that the box inside was still there. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to move the pillow, trying to find a comfortable position to rest and sort out what to do with Rong Xintong (Tong Jia), he found that the weight of the pillow in his hand was not right.

After realizing something, she quickly took off the key from her neck and went to unlock the door to check.

Seeing that so much money was missing, Mrs. Yang's blood almost stopped flowing. She couldn't catch her breath and actually fainted again.

It’s a pity that everyone in the main house was investigating the theft in the bridal chamber and Yang Jixia’s disappearance, and no one noticed that Old Mrs. Yang had fainted again.

After it was basically confirmed in the main house that the theft in the Yang family was related to Yang Jixia and had nothing to do with Rong Xintong (Tong Jia), when Yang Jichun went to report the matter to his mother, he found that the old lady's legs were on the bed, her head facing down, and her entire upper body was hanging upside down.

While Yang Jichun was comforting the old lady, he was about to call for help when he saw the wooden box under the old lady's body.

He quickly put all the small yellow croakers into his arms, grabbed half of the silver dollars with his big hands and stuffed them into his pockets, and then shouted loudly: "Mom! Mom! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Someone come quickly..."

But no matter how loud he shouted, only Mrs. Chen, Rong Xintong (Tong Jia), and the siblings Yang Jiqiu and Yang Jidong could come in to check on the situation.

It’s not that other people don’t care about Old Lady Yang, it’s just that the group of men outside can’t enter the widow’s room.

Uncle Chen resigned himself to his fate and went to ask for a doctor. He thought he could stop the doctor halfway, but he ran all the way and didn't see any sign of the doctor.

After waiting in the hospital for a long time, the doctor didn't come back. Worried that something might have happened to Old Lady Yang, Uncle Chen had no choice but to run two more blocks to ask for another doctor.

Because the delay was too long, even after Mrs. Yang took the medicine, she still didn't wake up.

At this time, Yang Jichun's wife, who had already been rude to Rong Xintong (Tong Jia), treated her even worse.

She probably thought that once Old Lady Yang passed away, she would be the one in charge of the family.

Not only did his attitude towards Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) become worse, but his attitude towards other members of the tribe also became somewhat domineering.

This also made Tong Jia, who wanted to leave some foundation for the Yang family, angry. She took the opportunity of being arranged by Yang Jichun's wife to take care of Old Lady Yang, and when she got close to Yang Jichun, she quietly took away the small yellow croaker and silver dollars hidden on his body.

After a day and a night, Mrs. Yang regained consciousness.

She was conscious, but she suffered a stroke due to the huge blow.

He couldn't speak and only one finger on his body could move.

After waking up, Mrs. Yang didn't have time to look at her wooden box again. She didn't know that there were only more than 40 silver dollars left in it.

As soon as she woke up, she pointed at Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) and the mute little boy who was left behind.

Because she couldn't speak herself, she had to rely on others to guess.

At this point, the other members of the Yang family no longer cared about the difference between men and women. The three more prestigious elders in the clan, accompanied by many female relatives, were all in the main house asking Old Lady Yang what she meant.

If Mrs. Yang wanted to smooth things over before, now that she has lost most of her fortune, she no longer thinks so.

She could now especially understand Rong Xintong's (Tong Jia) statement yesterday morning about going to look for Yang Jixia. If she could move on her own, she would also want to go find him herself.

Once you find the person, you'll first get the money back, and then slap the unfilial son to death.

But she can't move now. Looking around the entire Yang family, the only person in the same situation as her is Rong Xintong (Tong Jia).

So, she pointed at Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) and the little boy with the only finger she could move, hoping that these two people could help her find the lost yellow croaker and silver dollars.

But Yang Jichun's wife, who was sitting beside her bed, was worried that the old lady was planning to hand over the Yang family to her sister-in-law, and kept misinterpreting her meaning.

Old Mrs. Yang was so angry that she even imagined a medical miracle. Originally, only the index finger of her right hand could move. Because she really didn't want Yang Jichun's wife to interrupt her again, she slapped her daughter-in-law in the face, and then the whole right hand could move.

But even so, she still couldn't clearly express her wishes.

Finally, it was the head of the Yang family who said, "My niece, I know you are worried about something that happened suddenly at home.

But no matter what, your body is the most important thing. Money and wealth are just external things, and they are not necessarily...

We can put the matter of the lost money aside for now, but we must talk about the matter of Ji Xia’s wife.

Tomorrow is the time to go back to my parents' home, Jixia, what do you think?"

The clan discussed this matter yesterday.

What he meant was that he should be more kind and send the bride home. After all, Yang Jixia disappeared on the wedding night, so he probably didn't have time to have anything happen with the bride.

But other people in the clan had different opinions. His younger brother said, "If the bride's dowry is still there, we can let her stay or go.

What about now? Her dowry is gone, and it's very likely that it was taken away by our Yang family. If the bride is allowed to return home, will the young men of our Yang family be able to find good wives in the future?

Wouldn’t the backbone of our Yang family be broken?

Even if you give her money and send her to find that brat Yang Jixia, you can't let her go home.

Otherwise, the reputation of our Yang family will be ruined."

This was selfish and unpleasant to say, but it was indeed the best solution for the Yang family.

Even if the bride stayed willingly, it would still bring endless troubles to the Yang family.

After all, it was difficult for them to explain why Yang Jixia didn't accompany his new bride back home.

Only when the couple were not at home, when they met the Rong family and those people outside, could they say with confidence: "The daughter of the Rong family is sensible and knows that the overall situation is more important. She accompanied Yang Jixia to school and took care of her husband."

In a society where a wife is expected to obey her husband and regard her husband as her God, this excuse not only gave the Yang family a way out, but also praised the Rong family's education to the sky.

Tomorrow, let Yang Jichun go to Rong's house on behalf of his brother and sister-in-law and give them some gifts, and the matter will be completely settled.

Therefore, although the clan leader was asking for Rong Xintong's (Tong Jia) opinion, he had actually asked someone to prepare a bag of valuables for her, even including a pack of belongings for the little boy who came to report the news.

Tong Jia didn't care what the Yang family thought. She just wanted to call back her original name, get her freedom, take the money and live freely for a while, and then find a way to find that bastard Yang Jixia and fulfill Grandma Rong's wish.

The two sides hit it off immediately. The Yang family contributed twenty silver dollars, and the Yang family contributed ten silver dollars, totaling thirty silver dollars for Rong Xintong (Tong Jia) as travel expenses.

In addition, she was given two bundles, one containing two sets of clothes and two pancakes, and the other contained the mute little boy who had brought the news.

Tong Jia felt sorry for the child and used the excuse of asking the child to lead the way for her, so she didn't object.

After taking the money and the bundle, he took the little boy's hand and left the Yang family.
