CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 111: REVERSING YESTERDAY’S EVENTS (PART 2)

"What ’Second Aunt Sang’ are you talking about," Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Can’t even call me Second Aunt anymore! I came to look for Xiaofei and Ahong, are they home?"

"Tell me what you want!" Mrs. Fang stopped her from coming in.

"What right do you have to stop me from entering!" Mrs. Li exclaimed angrily.

Mrs. Fang smiled: "Second Aunt Sang, this is my house, not yours. I cannot afford to entertain a ’big deity’ like you, so I won’t let you in! Moreover, Ahong and your second brother are not at home!"

"Not at home?" Mrs. Li was taken aback and then remembered, Sang Hong should be at the village school teaching the children. However, Sang Hong wasn’t the main character that mattered much, so she asked: "Where did Xiaofei go?"

"He went down to the fields to work!" Mrs. Fang said indifferently.

"Ah you guys! How can you let him work!" Mrs. Li distressedly stamped her foot.

Mrs. Fang suddenly laughed aloud, "Second Aunt Sang, my family’s affairs don’t seem to concern you, right?"

"You—" Mrs. Li glared at Mrs. Fang, speechless. Mrs. Fang wasn’t afraid of her before, and she certainly wasn’t afraid now. Knowing she couldn’t gain any advantage from Mrs. Fang, she haughtily harrumphed: "Since they are not at home, I’ll go back first! When they return, tell them to visit my house!"

"That wouldn’t be right!" Mrs. Fang laughed: "Didn’t you and Second Uncle Sang just say yesterday that you would never step into our house again? We do not have the thick skin to act against our own words and come licking our faces!" With that, she swept a mocking glance over her.

Just then, two women slightly older than Mrs. Li passed by. Seeing Mrs. Li’s furious face, they thought she came to cause trouble again and couldn’t help but step forward, pulling on Mrs. Li saying: "Second Sister-in-law Sang, why bother, haven’t you cut relations already? Just let them go!"

"Exactly, just pretend they don’t exist! Why bother!"

The two, exchanging a few words with Mrs. Fang, forcefully took Mrs. Li away.

Mrs. Li was so angry she could only stand and stare, desperately trying to explain to the two: "Yesterday’s... yesterday’s matter doesn’t count, it absolutely doesn’t count! We haven’t cut ties!"

Wow, she can even say such things!

The two exchanged glances, secretly detesting her. They thought Mrs. Li must have realized that cutting ties meant she couldn’t take advantage anymore, so she changed her mind! How shameless! It’s a wonder how the two Sang brothers have managed to not have their family fortune stripped by such uncles and aunts!

"Second Sister-in-law Sang, you can’t say that! The agreement yesterday was officiated by Li Zheng himself with black on white, how can it not count? Moreover, all of us witnessed it!"

"Exactly!"

Utterly disdainful, the two didn’t wait for Mrs. Li to explain but quickly excused themselves citing other matters and left.

"Acting arrogant with me!" Mrs. Li muttered angrily: "Wait until I become wealthy, then even if you beg me, I won’t spare you a glance!"

"So, did things go well?" As soon as Mrs. Li got home, Sang Pingliang immediately asked.

"No!" Mrs. Li said irritably.

"No?" Sang Pingliang raised his voice, "Then why did you come back?"

"They weren’t at home!" Mrs. Li said: "Neither brother was at home! And that vile woman Mrs. Fang mocked me severely! She’s so disrespectful to her elders, sooner or later Ahong will divorce her!"

"Not at home? Where did Xiaofei go then?" Sang Pingliang ignored Mrs. Li’s complaints as he’s only concerned about Sang Yufei now, indifferent to whether Mrs. Li was mocked or not, as it didn’t harm her physically!

"They said he went to work in the fields, who knows where he really went!" Mrs. Li grimly said.

"Working?" Sang Pingliang responded and didn’t inquire further, then said: "What about Ahong? He’s at school, right?"

"Yes!"

"I’ll go find him," Sang Pingliang dusted off his clothes, saying: "I’ve just thought of an idea, I want to go to Ahong right now, take him to Li Zheng, and have Xiaofei adopted as our son, what do you think?"

"Have him adopted as our son?" Mrs. Li’s eyes lit up and she clapped her hands in delight: "Great, just perfect!" To gain a scholar son for nothing, and also, Master having no reason to take a concubine anymore, this is truly a stroke of great fortune! Little did she know, once Sang Pingliang had developed a lustful desire, not even the Heavens could prevent him from taking a concubine.

"Hmm!" Sang Pingliang was very pleased with himself, saying: "Our second house doesn’t have a heir, while the main family has two sons, adopting one to take care of us in our old age is quite fitting!"

Sang Pingliang was sure Sang Hong was too honest to defy him. As long as he nodded, and with a certificate made by Li Zheng, Sang Yufei would have to agree even if unwilling.

"You catch two chickens and wait at the school gate, I’ll also enclose five taels of silver, then once I bring Ahong out from the school, we’ll go straight to Li Zheng’s house!"

"Uh, okay, okay!" Mrs. Li, hearing about catching two chickens and enclosing five taels of silver felt the pinch.

"Listen to me well," at this critical moment, Sang Pingliang was more persuasive, sternly telling Mrs. Li: "Catch the largest rooster and the lu-hua hen that is laying eggs. I warn you, if you’re stingy again and ruin my plans, I won’t let it go!"

Mrs. Li felt the pinch at his words, and got quite a scare at his last sentence, hurriedly nodding in agreement.

"Hurry up, I’m going ahead!" Sang Pingliang dropped the words and hurriedly left.

Sang Hong was teaching a group of children of various ages in the school, seeing Sang Pingliang outside waving at him with a smiling face, Sang Hong felt a thump in his heart, hesitated for a moment, but he asked the students to recite a couplet before stepping out.

Sang Pingliang was not wrong about him; despite being truly disheartened by yesterday’s events, he still couldn’t pretend he didn’t see Sang Pingliang.
