The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Severing Ties (24 more)_1

”He said he wanted to sever ties with the main house, didn’t he?” Yang Ruxin spoke for Yang Baixiang, expressing the Yang Family’s decision. In fact, this was completely within her expectations and was exactly what she had hoped for.

”Dani, Uncle Xiaowu...” Yang Baixiang, clutching his hair, squatted on the ground, ”Uncle Xiaowu is incompetent...” he said, as he pounded his own head forcefully with both hands.

”Uncle Xiaowu, what does this have to do with you?” Yang Ruxin quickly grabbed Yang Baixiang’s arm, ”you mustn’t blame yourself...”

And inside the house, Xun Hui also sighed deeply. Xinxin didn’t let her go out, and she didn’t want to go out either. After going out, she didn’t know how to face the people of the Yang Family.

In truth, Yang Peili had actually hoped that the two old ancestors could step in to mediate, intending to have them persuade Yang Ruxin to take a step back and let the matter be settled, but what he hadn’t expected was that the two old men didn’t say anything this time, nor did they show any emotional fluctuations; it seemed as if they had become numb.

”Third Uncle Ancestor, Fourth Great Uncle, this matter...” Yang Peili could only shamelessly start to inquire at the time.

Third Uncle Ancestor glanced at Yang Peili, ”Dongzi, whatever needed to be said or done before, we bought all of that ’acting old’ stuff, talked about it, and did it, but what’s the result? Thus, although this matter makes the entire Yang Family unable to hold its head high, we can only bite the bullet and handle it for you.”

”Maybe breaking off is better...” Fourth Great Uncle stroked his beard, ”saves us from the daily unending brawls...”

”This...” Yang Peili felt depressed, what was this situation?

And the truth of the matter was, during the holiday gift-giving, Yang Ruxin had already explained the whole cause and effect to the two old ancestors. Of course, just on the basis of such a matter, expecting the ancestors to support her leaving the family clan was impossible, but since time immemorial, the most solid relationships have always been those based on mutual benefit. Therefore, what followed was a discussion about a partnership involving the furniture shop...

As for the Fourth Great Uncle, who was a blacksmith, Yang Ruxin did not come empty-handed; she directly sketched several designs for tools, such as the ear picker. In this era, there were no threshing machines, so stripping corn cobs always required manual shelling, which often rubbed the hands raw. However, in the seventies and eighties, a very compact object similar to an awl became popular, which could easily remove the kernels from the cob, making the shelling process much easier and faster.

Fourth Great Uncle was a formidable character; with just a brief explanation from Yang Ruxin’s diagrams, he saw the immense business opportunity. A big family needed money to live, so why not earn it if there was a chance?

It’s not that the two old men were being mercenary or greedy, normally leaving the family clan would be a disadvantage, but now that Yang Ruxin was actively requesting it, and they had benefited from her, it was only natural for them to grant her request. And the advantage Yang Ruxin was asking for appeared, on the surface or in the eyes of outsiders, not to be an advantage at all.

Moreover, in the private thoughts of the two old ancestors, they also felt that if the main line of the Yang Family were to leave the old Yang homestead, perhaps they would do even better.

Since the last time the Yang Family shocked the entire village with their division, this time, their severance of ties once again sent ripples through the village.

The ancestral hall was reopened, last time it was for the division of the family, and after the division, the names of the main family members were still written in the family genealogy. But after today, the names of all the people of the Yang Family main house would be crossed out from the Yang Family genealogy, and from then on, they would be complete strangers.
