Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 894 - 883: The Time-Traveling Heroine’s Biased Grandma

Yang Xiudan spoke until her mouth was dry, seeing that her mother still had no intention of dividing the family, she was infuriated. If they didn’t split, everything their branch earned would have to be shared by everyone. Don’t think that just because they earned more, the others would be grateful to their branch; they would just continue to exploit them, and she herself would gain nothing from it.

Moreover, if they didn’t divide, how could her business strategies in her mind be realized? Even if she earned back one thousand taels, their branch wouldn’t even receive one tael. She wouldn’t let her hard-earned money benefit that group of leeches. Her parents were honest, but she wouldn’t let this slide.

But it wouldn’t be good for her family to propose the division first. Not to mention that her elder uncle and third uncle wouldn’t agree, her grandmother would probably cause a big scene, ruining their family’s reputation, affecting her brother’s Imperial Examination, marriage, and even her own marriage. So, the proposal to divide must come from someone else.

And that person was the third uncle she had thought of early on. Her third uncle was always a scoundrel; she couldn’t believe that gifting a golden hairpin would make him reform. With a little guidance, it would be easy for him to make mistakes.

One shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless. Who made them bully her family like this? Anyway, if he was determined, no amount of guidance from her would work. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yang Xiudan made up her mind, and now it was about how to lure her third uncle to take the bait.

Because she listened to her mother’s words in the morning, Yang Yuxin spent the entire afternoon reading with his nephew’s books, seemingly full of determination to reform and have a fresh start. It was at this time that Yang Xiudan came in, holding quite a few wild fruits.

"Third Uncle, you’re reading!" she pretended to say sweetly.

"Mm," Yang Yuxin replied without turning his head, "Go play, don’t disturb me."

Yang Xiudan rolled her eyes, who was he trying to fool? She didn’t believe he was actually focused on the book.

"Third Uncle, reading is tiring, isn’t it? Would you like to eat this?" She affectionately grabbed a handful and placed it on the table.

"Where did you get these wild chestnuts?" Yang Yuxin asked in surprise.

Got him! A flicker of cunning flashed in Yang Xiudan’s eyes, "I won them."

But her smug expression didn’t achieve the expected result. Yang Yuxin only sighed, "Well, you do have good luck, leave them here, I’ll eat them later."

Yang Xiudan was furious at his nonchalant tone, leave them all here? Didn’t he know how much effort she had spent getting those wild chestnuts? One sentence and he wanted it all?

She held back, forcing a smile, "Third Uncle, aren’t you curious how I won them?"

"Not interested. Kids should go outside, I still need to read!" In fact, Yang Yuxin hadn’t been able to focus at all for this long, and with Yang Xiudan here, he was even more impatient.

"Third Uncle, just listen." Yang Xiudan forced herself to feign coyness, "I’m very lucky. Da Niu and Er Niu lost a bet to me. Second Uncle, have you ever been to the casino in the county? Do you think with my luck, I could win a lot of money? Then I could buy loads of snacks."

"Kids shouldn’t go to casinos." Thinking of himself as a future arrest officer, Yang Yuxin said righteously, "Casinos are no good places, don’t ask, and don’t go in the future either."

"Then have you ever been, Third Uncle? You probably have good luck too, right? Otherwise, where would you get money for eating and drinking? I saw that golden hairpin on Third Aunt, it’s beautiful, did you win it?" She feigned innocence with that question.

"No, it was part of your third aunt’s dowry," Yang Yuxin replied awkwardly.

"Ah!" Yang Xiudan gasped in feigned surprise, "Wasn’t it bad to just give away Third Aunt’s dowry like that? Third Uncle, are you planning to buy another one for her?"

"Where would I get the money to buy it?" said Yang Yuxin, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Though he was a scoundrel, he too knew his wife had put down a significant part of her savings for him. He really needed to make a better life.

"Third Uncle, you can try gambling like I did, it’s the quickest way to earn money! Look, these are the chestnuts I won, so delicious. Third Uncle, you’re so smart, you could definitely win a lot of money." She nodded earnestly, her face full of trust.

But if it were the old Yang Yuxin, he might have been tempted. However, just that morning he’d vowed to his mother with high spirits, full of ambition. Why would he commit a crime over a bit of silver? His mother was right; only by standing tall would his wife and son gain respect, and he would earn both the golden hairpin and silver.

"Children shouldn’t talk nonsense, gambling destroys lives. How many people get rich from gambling? Go out and play, and never bet with Da Niu and Er Niu again. Otherwise, I’ll tell your parents and grandmother," Yang Yuxin glared and said.

Yang Xiudan was almost furious, she never knew when her third uncle became reformed. Complaining about her? Only kids did that!

Just thinking about how her parents would feel hurt and disappointed if they knew she gambled made Yang Xiudan even more aggrieved. In her previous life, she was an orphan. In this life, she finally had parents and a brother, and she wouldn’t do anything to let them down.

But now, with her third uncle being so stubborn, it seemed she needed to think of another way.

Outside the window, no one knew that Ye Qiu was eavesdropping. At first, hearing the female lead urge her youngest son, she was indeed furious, but later, seeing her son righteously refuse and even lecture, she nodded with satisfaction. The morning’s brainwashing was somewhat successful.

However, the female lead’s approach was indeed uncomfortable. Although her parents were wronged, they willingly accepted it, and it was cause and effect. Just leading someone deliberately into the wrong path was morally wrong.

So at dinner, Ye Qiu was increasingly displeased with the second branch, nitpicking, "Where did Erya go to play today? Running outside all day isn’t like a girl. If you have nothing to do, go pick pigweed or stay inside and do needlework. Learn from your cousin; when you are half as good as Xiu Fen, I’ll say Amitabha Buddha."

"Mother, I let Xiudan go out to play; I’ve finished all the housework." Yao Xue Mei meekly said.

"Finished? Enough firewood for the winter? Did you plow the barren field out back? I just checked, and the kitchen wasn’t cleaned, and you say all the housework is done?" Ye Qiu said a bit sourly.

Yang Xiudan tightened her grip on her chopsticks, her fingers turning white, obviously furious. Just as she was about to lash out, her brother, Yang Shuliang, gently patted her back.

"Mother, I’m sorry, I overlooked those things, I’ll get to it after dinner," Yao Xue Mei said, biting her lip.

"Mother, I’ll go chop the firewood in a while, and I’ll have the field plowed by tomorrow morning. As for Xiudan, I’ll make sure she learns more needlework from her cousin." Yang Yuqin, who had been silent, said.
