Chapter 1961 - 1963: Move Her to the Side
"I’ve begged you so much! I’ve never begged anyone like this in my entire life."
"Ma’am, you’re really strange." Yangyang stretched his head and said, "Do you think just because you beg someone, they have to agree to help you? You really think highly of yourself, like you’re some silver coin that everyone loves? Just because you plead, my mother has to agree with you? Stop joking around."
"You little kid, why are you interrupting? I’m talking to your mother." Qian Xiaoqing was extremely irritated, looking at Yangyang’s fair little face, a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.
Yang Chuxia is really fortunate, but this brat is as annoying as Yang Chuxia, the only redeeming quality is his looks, which might fetch a good price.
"Xiaxia, my aunt is your aunt, we’re technically relatives, aren’t we? Even among unfamiliar fellow townsmen, there’s mutual support in a foreign place. Let alone we’re relatives. Even if we ignore the familial ties, we’re at least from the same hometown." Qian Xiaoqing continued pleading with Yang Chuxia. Seeing Yang Chuxia remaining silent, she even knelt down in front of the carriage, "Xiaxia, I’m begging you to take me in, I don’t have a single copper coin on me now, I’m about to starve to death."
She kept crying and with her poor clothing and emaciated appearance, the onlookers, who always sided with the weaker party, started commenting.
"Look at that, they’re relatives, what’s wrong with helping each other?"
"Isn’t that the truth? Once people have money, they look down on poor relatives."
"Sigh, this young woman is really pitiful, with so many refugees outside the city, it’s dangerous for a woman."
Noticing everyone speaking on her behalf, a slight flash of smugness appeared in Qian Xiaoqing’s eyes.
She pretended to say, "Xiaxia, it’s fine if you don’t take me in, can you at least tell me where my aunt lives? I’ll go find her myself."
Yang Chuxia sneered, Qian Xiaoqing was not young anymore, and yet her tactics hadn’t improved at all.
Does she really think I’m someone who cares about others’ opinions?
"I don’t know where your aunt lives, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you," Yang Chuxia scoffed, "Whether you can make it in the Capital City has nothing to do with me. Honestly, I’d prefer if you couldn’t make it here. After all, people like you only cause trouble. I really wish to stay as far away from you as possible."
"Hey, how can you speak like that?"
"Exactly, have you no compassion?"
The idle onlookers are always biased, siding with the weaker party.
Yang Chuxia swept her gaze across them, "Stop whining here, if you dare to say another word, I’ll make sure you don’t enjoy a peaceful New Year."
Yang Chuxia’s gaze must have been too sharp, for no one dared to speak further.
Qian Xiaoqing realized things weren’t looking good, thinking Yang Chuxia might really not take her back.
After some thought, she cried out, "Yang Chuxia, you have such a cruel heart!" and then dramatically fainted on the spot.
"Madam, what should we do?" The coachman was troubled, with someone unconscious in front of the carriage.
Looking at the person lying on the ground, Yang Chuxia said to the attendant by the carriage, "Go, move her aside. Don’t let her block our way."
"Yes!"
Seeing Qian Xiaoqing in such a state and Yang Chuxia still unmoved, disapproval was evident in the crowd’s eyes.
Yang Chuxia ignored the crowd, and once the person was moved aside, she signaled to leave.
After the carriage had traveled some distance, Yang Chuxia lifted the curtain, and sure enough, saw Qian Xiaoqing sitting up from the ground.
