Rebirth of an abandoned woman

Chapter 48: Second Uncle's, and Second Aunt's, Rage

Sang Hong was at a loss for words but exclaimed after a moment, "What you said does make sense! But this is the Shi family's business, us getting involved may not be good for Sang Wan!"

"It's not because I like to get myself involved, alright!" Fang Shi sneered, "It's nothing but a reminder for Sang Wan only! Let me ask you, if in the future the Shi family bullies our Sang Wan, will you care or not care?"

"Of course I'll care!" Sang Hong's face turned hard as steel as he went on, "She's my younger sister! Still, brother-in-law's not too bad of a person, he'll definitely not let suffer!"

Fang Shi sneered again and spoke sadly, "That's difficult to say!"

Sang Hong could not help but stare at her strangely, "I say, why does your words sound so ambiguous? Is there anything you wish to tell me?"

"Now ah, not yet! If in the future, there won't be any too!" Fang Shi rolled her eyes at him.

A woman's intuition is very sensitive, and what's more, Fang Shi was not foolish. Recalling the last night's words from Liu Ya and Sang Wan, and what she could gather from yesterday's dinner table about Gu Fangzi even though she could not inquire from the Shi family's maidservants, Fang Shi's heart nevertheless had some faint suspicions. Only, Sang Wan refused to tell her and that she could not pursue the matter since she was her sister-in-law and not her mother! Moreover, the Shi family did not do anything over the line so she was not foolish enough to let out the secret which may cause others to push the boat along with the current.

"Ai, " Sang Hong could not help but laugh, "Why does it sound so mysterious! Why? Having you been learning meditation?"

Fang Shi snorted and glared at him, "I have, so what?"

Sang Hong laughed and shook his head, ignoring her.

"You just keep laughing then! Later when we meet up with Second Aunt and Second Uncle, I'll see how you can keep that up!" Fang Shi casually said.

Sure enough, Sang Hong's face stiffened immediately and he started stroking his forehead.

Besides, Second Old master Sang and Li Shi were left waiting anxiously in the dark for Sang Hong and Fang Shi who did not arrive. The two could not help but become furious and could not stop cursing the young couple for not having any conscience and having a bad heart for they were sure that those two must have abandoned the family of three here.

Reluctantly, they had to spend the night on a farm.

The next day when the sun first rose, the two, along with Sang Yan, eagerly left. They were in a hurry to return home to scold Sang Hong and Fang Shi, and also see how much of the gifts were brought back and whether any was swallowed away from them greedily.

Reasoning with each other, the two hitched a ride on an ox cart as it wobbled back in the direction of the town. The thought of having to use her own money for the travel fee, her heart ached and she once again wished to scold Sang Hong and Fang Shi more severely.

And because of that, when Sang Hong and Fang Shi called for the carriage to be pulled to a side for it to pick those people up, they were told that those three had already left. The two gaze at each other and smiled bitterly; certain that the old couple had misunderstood.

The ox cart wobbled slowly. Second old master Sang and Li Shi were anxious to a point where they would rather walk that remain in the cart. When they were soon to arrive at Yangliu Town, Sang Hong and his family's carriage were finally able to catch up with them. Sang Hong immediately stopped the carriage before waving and calling out, "Second Uncle! Second Aunt!"
