The two sisters-in-law sat there for a while longer. Mrs. Sun subtly inquired about the silver bangles from Yang Huamei, but it turned out that she didn't have any.

It was getting late, so the two sisters-in-law got up to say goodbye.

On the way back, Bao Suyun asked Sun Shi, "Third sister-in-law, why did you ask Meier about donating money?" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

Then Sun transmitted the bottom to Bao Suyun.

Bao Suyun was stunned.

"Can this still be done?" Bao Suyun asked.

"Mrs. Sun sighed with a wry smile, "What else can we do? Oh, don't say you don't believe me, I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. But the fact is right there: Mei'er hasn't found any silver bracelets!"

To be honest, Third Sister-in-law, if Father behaves this way even when it comes to donating money towards Yongxian, then there's no point in us donating anymore in the future.

Have you heard of yin-yang contracts and yin-yang ledgers? They say that even when donating money in a household, they come at it from both yin and yang sides, treating honest people like fools?

Sun said, "We are all honest people, the third and fifth sons are especially filial. Whatever father says, they do it without a word and immediately take out the money."

"But Dad, he secretly took back Yongxian's share and gave it to him. Playing these kinds of tricks, makes all of us feel uncomfortable." she said.

Bao Suyun asked again, “Does your third brother know about this?”

Mrs. Sun said: “I don’t hide anything from him, and he asked me to come and inquire about Mei’er's feelings so as to avoid misunderstanding our father.”

This is a test.

Bao Suyun said, "Since it's confirmed, I'll also tell Lao Wu when I go home later. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable."

Sun Shi didn't stop him. Even the best baozi is still a baozi, not a fool.

A fool is led astray by others, unaware. A steamed bun has its own feelings of joy and anger.

Yang Huazhou happened to be visiting Yang Huazhong. The two brothers were drinking tea and eating melon seeds in the main hall.

Seeing the two sisters-in-law come in, Yang Huazhou was delighted: "Third Sister-in-law, you're back just in time. I'm just discussing this with my third brother. Our whole family has been living in this small village since birth, and we've never gone out to play properly. When the weather warms up at the end of January, my third brother and I plan to take all of you together to Qihua Mountain near Qing'an County to burn incense and worship Buddha, and then have a taste of the famous dim sum over there!"

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Well then, if you've made your decision, that's fine. But Hua is carrying a child, I don't know if that journey will be too difficult. If it's too bumpy..."

"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. My brother and I have already taken this into consideration. We'll first go to Qingan County, and then from there to Mount Qiuhua. The journey isn't long, and the whole way is an official road. We'll make the carriage more comfortable with extra padding. We'll travel at a slower pace, stopping for breaks along the way. There are small towns and inns at the foot of Mount Qiuhua. Hua'er doesn't have to go up the mountain."

Sun smiled and nodded: "Okay, then we'll arrange for you to go out and relax at some point."

Yang Huazhou's eyes shifted, and he noticed that his daughter-in-law Bao Suyun's face was not looking well.

"Su Yun, what's wrong? Your sister-in-law has already agreed, why aren't you happy?" Yang Huaizhou asked.

Bao Suyun walked over and said, "You're not smiling. Something has come to mind that's bothering you."

>

Yang Huazhou glanced at Yang Huzhong, who was bewildered.

What are you looking at? She's my wife, not yours!

Yang Huaizhou then looked at Mrs. Sun.

Sun also had a wry smile.

Yang Huazhou finally looked at Bao Suyun: "What's the upsetting matter? Tell me about it."

Bao Suyun said, "The first night, Dad asked us for money to give to Meili. Yongxian's pair of bracelets were never sent out at all."

"Why? Is Meili embarrassed to ask?" Yang Huazhou asked.

Sun said, "It was our father who didn't give it. He privately returned it to Yongxian. I didn't believe it at first, but today when I inquired with Mei'er, it turned out to be true."

Yang Huazhou was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Huazhong again. Yang Huazhong's eyebrows were furrowed.

Yang Huazhou said again, "Did you return the silver bracelet to Yongxian? Was it then exchanged for silver and given to Meier?"

Mrs. Sun said, "I've been thinking about this too. I asked Mei’er, and she said they received the silver and copper coins, which were exactly the amount that all of our households had pooled together that night. Not a single coin was missing or extra, except for one pair of bracelets."

"Bang!"

Yang Huaizhou slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table, "Too much! You're playing dirty tricks on me? I've never seen such a head of a household!"

Yang Huazhong's face was also gloomy. "To be honest, if this gets out, people will laugh their heads off. He proposed raising money, and he used his position as the head of the family to pull these strings. Didn't he ever think about what would happen if this got exposed? Where would he put his old face?"

"This is something that we'll never know, but I happened to find out." Mrs. Sun smiled wryly.

Yang Huazhou gritted his teeth, got up abruptly and walked out.

“Elder Five, where are you going? Stop him!” Yang Huazhong shouted.

>

Bao Suyun and Sun Shi happened to be sitting near the door, and the two quickly stopped Yang Huazhou.

“What are you going to do?” Bao Suyun asked.

Yang Huazhou's eyes were blazing: "Go ask your father face-to-face, is there anyone who does things like this!"

“Don’t go!” Bao Suyun said.

>

Yang Huazhou glared at Bao Suyun: "If I didn't know about this, I wouldn't have gone naturally. But since I do know, I can't just pretend to be deaf and mute! I need to ask for clarification face-to-face so I can feel better!"

Seeing him like this, as if he were going to fight Lao Yang head-on, Bao Suyun was so worried tears welled up in her eyes.

“If I had known you were like this, I shouldn’t have spoken. I shouldn’t have meddled even if I kept it to myself.” She stamped her foot.

Sun Shi also said, “Fifth brother, don’t be impulsive! We sisters-in-law didn’t say this to encourage you to go question your father. We just wanted to remind you that when you encounter something like needing money in the future, don’t agree so quickly. Think it over first.”

Bao Suyun nodded repeatedly, "I agree."

Sun Shi pulled Yang Huazhou back to the table and sat down on his shoulder, "Qing'er's father, say something!"

If Lao Wu listens to Lao San, maybe Lao San's words will prevent Lao Wu from fighting with their father.

Sun once again gave Yang Huaizhong a wink.

Yang Huazhong looked up and said to Yang Huaizhou, "For this matter, as long as we do it with a clear conscience, there's no need to rush and ask questions. If we ask, the outcome will be one of two things at most."

“First, dad refused to admit it and then we had a big fight that ended badly for everyone.”

"Second, father just admitted it and said while wiping his tears that Yongxian and the others were struggling and needed support, so what could they do?"

Yang Huazhou said, "According to what Third Brother analyzed, are we just going to swallow our anger? Just pretend this never happened?"

Yang Huazhong shook his head. "No, we have to ask about this, but it's not our father we should ask. Even if we asked him, we can't do anything to him, after all, he is our biological father. Could we possibly tie him up and beat him?"

Yang Huazhou was speechless.

Yang Huazhong continued, "Let's ask Yongxian over here and find out what's going on. I think as an adult, Yongxian would also be the most active in raising money. He should give us an explanation about this bracelet!"
