Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, she transformed herself and led Anping Village to rapid prosperity.

Sometimes when the younger generation in the family is not good enough or disappointing, thinking of Yu Banxia makes them feel balanced and comforted.

Looking back now, which of the younger generation in the family is presentable?

The people of Xujia Village were filled with rage, cursing the damned scholar Xu for abandoning such a wonderful bride.

If he had married Yu Banxia back then, she would definitely have led their Xiaoxu Village to prosperity by now.

If only they had known earlier, they would have had their own younger generation propose marriage. Now, there's no chance at all. The people of Xiaoxu Village cursed Scholar Xu in their hearts.

"get out!"

"roll!"

"roll!"

Amidst the rolling sounds, Yang Lao Er and his daughter stumbled and ran out of Anping Village.

Yang Lao Er dared not linger. Yang Dani ran a few steps, turned around, and looked at the only place where there was still firelight, her eyes filled with resentment.

She will avenge today's humiliation one day.

"What are you staring at? You're not embarrassed enough, let's go!" When Yang Lao Er saw that she hadn't followed, he turned around and saw her standing there looking at Anping Village. He was furious.

Yang Dani remained motionless, staring hatefully in the direction of the Yu family, as if she could see Yu Banxia there.

Yang Lao Er was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and slapped her twice.

Yang Dani's face instantly turned red and swollen, showing how much force Yang Lao Er had used.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here! You've made us lose face completely, are you still not leaving or do you want to continue being laughed at?"

In the darkness, Yang Lao Er couldn't see very clearly, but he could guess that she was looking at him.

Yang Dani also harbored resentment towards Yang Lao Er. If it weren't for his and her mother's greed, she wouldn't have been publicly humiliated!

Yang Lao Er didn't give her a chance to speak and dragged her towards home.

Yang Dani almost fell behind several times. It was dark and she couldn't see the road clearly. He pulled her so hard that she almost fell.

If Yang Lao Er hadn't been holding her back, she would have fallen flat on her face.

"What a useless piece of trash! I should have drowned you back then, you wretched girl!" Old Yang cursed as he walked, blaming all the mistakes on a child.

After stumbling and walking for nearly half an hour in the darkness, the father and daughter finally returned home.

The old woman had already left the Yang family and returned to town, and Madam Ma didn't wait for them; she went to sleep early.

Yang Lao Er was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger, and was afraid of disturbing his youngest son, so he angrily said, "Go to sleep, I'll deal with you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he went back to his room to rest in a huff.

Yang Dani stood quietly in the yard, without saying a word. In the dead of night, apart from the croaking of frogs and the chirping of insects, there were only the occasional barking of a dog.

She stood in the darkness, motionless even as mosquitoes bit her.

She didn't start moving until she heard Yang Lao Er snoring.

Yang Dani cautiously entered her parents' room, climbed onto the bed in the dark, and found a small cabinet by the bedside. She quietly climbed over and opened the drawer in the dark.

Sure enough, she touched something hard. Despite being only thirteen years old, she was quite composed.

After finding the silver coins, he reached for another drawer, took out everything inside, closed the drawer, and prepared to leave.

"Who's there..." Ma suddenly muttered in her sleep. Yang Dani was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and lay motionless in the corner.

Ma straightened up and looked around. There was no moonlight today, and the room was pitch black. She glanced around groggily and saw the three-month-old baby make two soft noises. She reached out and patted the baby.

Then she lifted her clothes and, half-asleep, fed the baby.

Before long, her breathing became steady.

Yang Dani looked in the direction of her younger brother in the darkness. She glared at the child with resentment, and finally covered the baby's head with the blanket.

With his parents still alive, whether he lives or dies is up to fate.

Yang Dani quietly got out of bed, went outside, walked into the yard, lit a tinderbox, looked at it, recognized her own residence permit and identity document, and then burned and destroyed all the residence permits and documents of the other family members.

After doing all this, she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

He opened the door and ran westward like a madman.

The wind blew, stirring the burning documents, which then ignited the firewood in the corner. The fire rose instantly, and almost in a flash, the house was ablaze.

"Fire!" Fifteen minutes later, the neighbor next door was awakened by the heat and saw a red glow outside, immediately understanding what was happening.

As he got up and ran outside, he grabbed a copper basin and started banging on it frantically.

Soon, candles were lit in the villagers' homes, and people rushed out carrying buckets and basins. When they saw that Yang Lao Er's house was on fire, they quickly called on everyone to put it out.

Yang Lao Er was also awakened by the smoke. When he saw that the house was on fire, he quickly patted Ma Shi next to him.

What a mess! I've already lost face today, been through a whole night of trouble, and now my house is on fire.

Unlucky enough.

"Get up quickly, Yaozu's mother, wake up! Pick up Yaozu and run!"

When Ma opened her eyes, she was choked by thick smoke. Seeing that her house was on fire, she panicked and said, "How could this happen? How could it suddenly catch fire?"

"Yaozu, Yaozu, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." In her panic, Ma picked up the child, not realizing for a moment that the child was already cold.

Just as I was about to get out of bed, I realized that my clothes weren't properly arranged. I wanted to put the child down, but to my horror, I found that the child seemed stiff all over and his body was ice cold.

With trembling hands, she checked the child's breath and, finding that the child had stopped breathing, she collapsed onto the bed.

"What are you standing there for? Where did you put the silver? We need to get out of here right away!" By the firelight, Yang Lao Er turned his head and saw her sitting on the bed with a blank expression.

Ma's lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face: "Yaozu, Yaozu, he's dead."

"What did you say!" Old Yang's eyes widened as he hurriedly looked at his son.

But she found that the baby was already cold, and seeing that her clothes were disheveled, she was furious: "You bitch, I finally gave birth to a son, and you suffocated him while breastfeeding him. Why did you have to be lazy?"

"Can't you open your eyes, feed the baby, and then go back to sleep?"

"I'll beat you to death!" Yang Lao Er clenched his fist and swung it at Ma Shi in anger, causing Ma Shi to cry out in pain.

The smoke grew thicker, and he roared, "Where's the money! And the household registration? Take it all and get out of here!"

Ma stumbled to get the silver, but only found a few copper coins strung together; the silver she had just received yesterday was nowhere to be found.

Looking at the household registration and transfer records again, they were still empty.

"No, it's gone!" Ma's world collapsed completely, and she fainted.

Yang Lao Er had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only drag her, who was holding her dead son, out of the house.

Once outside, he saw that the kitchen had caught fire first, and the fire in the room where the children slept was still burning, but he couldn't care less about anything else.

One son has already died, and although the other girls are just girls, they can all be sold for a good price in the future.
