Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Making Trouble Out of Nothing
After Yang Chuxia left, before going to bed, Ms. Wang whispered to Yang Dachuan, "Dear, because of this, I estimate that my brother and our side will probably fall out."
"There is nothing we can do," replied Yang Dachuan, "my second brother-in-law and Pingtao should have stopped my sister-in-law from coming over; besides, this situation was not Xiaxia’s fault in the first place."
Ms. Wang pulled at her quilt, puzzled, "Why didn’t my mom stop her? She just let my sister-in-law come over. And Xiaxia was quite upset today, I was really afraid she would hit someone."
"Forget it, let’s not think about their family’s affairs. We need to get up early to help our daughter oversee the house construction tomorrow."
On the Wang Family’s side, once Ms. Qian of the Wang Family returned home, there was a big uproar. She scolded Yang Chuxia from beginning to end. Wang Yongshan wasn’t a man who would hit a woman. As for Ms. Liu of the Wang Family, she was currently unable to restrain Ms. Qian. It wasn’t until Ms. Liu fainted from anger for the second time that Ms. Qian stopped causing a ruckus out of fear.
However, due to this incident, the Wang Family felt too embarrassed to spread news of Ms. Liu’s illness to Yangshu Village.
As for Yangshu Village, Ms. Wang was very angry at her sister-in-law’s irrational behavior. In contrast, Yang Chuxia seemed to have nothing to fret about when she got up the next morning.
She didn’t even want to bother with Ms. Qian. If it hadn’t been for Ms. Qian’s decent behaviour in the past, she would have been given the same treatment as Ms. Luo a long time ago.

"Madam, do you not like the jujube porridge?" Seeing her stirring the porridge but not eating, Xiu’er couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Chuxia glanced at her, then asked, "How old are you this year, Xiu’er?"
"I’m eighteen, madam." Xiu’er didn’t know why she was asking this, but she couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that she found her too old to serve her anymore? She had heard from Li’s mother that in many rich families, once the maids grew older, they would be let go.
"Oh, eighteen." Yang Chuxia nodded, then suddenly said, "Fugui should be nineteen or twenty this year. Qingyou and Tieshu are about the same age. "
At her words, Xiu’er’s heart skipped a beat, "Madam?"
Yang Chuxia seemed to ignore her reaction and continued, "Fugui and the others are not young anymore, and they haven’t started their own families yet. You seem to be around the same age as my elder cousin, who already has a son." The cousin she mentioned was Yang Ruoqiu. "Fugui and the others have learned quite a bit over these past few years with me. They’re flexible when needed, serious when required, their appearances are decent. What do you think of them?"
"Madam, they are, not bad I guess," Xiu’er finally understood Yang Chuxia’s meaning and blushed.
Seeing her blushing, Yang Chuxia chuckled.
"Xiu’er, if you’re following me, you should learn from me. You need to thicken your skin. There’s no use being shy about marriage. It’s best to pick someone suitable and who you like. After all, you have to get married eventually."
When she said that, Xiu’er’s face turned even redder. She stuttered, "All, all, all of them are good."
Yang Chuxia laughed heartily, "Xiu’er, you can’t be too greedy! Even if they are all good, you can only choose one."
Seeing that she kept her head lowered and didn’t say anything, Yang Chuxia figured she was easily embarrassed. She thought for a while, then said, "Think about it, you don’t necessarily have to choose one of them. If you fancy any of the young men working in our house, I can arrange it for you. A girl must marry and find someone who will cherish her, right? However, if you have set your eyes on someone from the village, I can help you inquire. Whether it can be arranged or not is another matter."
