Chapter 116

"Sure, I will go up the hill. Please keep this a secret for me," Wang Yao reminded his mother, afraid that she would say too much.

"Don't worry."

Wang Yao left home and went back up to Nanshan hill to tend to those newly planted trees. After planting the trees, the dog became very cheerful and no longer stayed in his kennel contemplating his dog life. He had taken to gamboling about Nanshan hill, marking his territory.

"San Xian, stop peeing everywhere!"

Woof, woof, woof!

While Wang Yao was busy here at the hill, at another area, some people at their home were seething with rage.

"What? No more? How is it so coincidental that when my relatives want the medicine, there is no more? Is it because he doesn't want it to give us?" Wang Yao's third aunt heard her husband's words and was enraged.

"It's not that he doesn't want to. If he really doesn't want to, he won't have cured my illness. He already said he's out of the medicine, why are you nagging so much!" Wang Yao's third uncle lost his temper. It was his nephew after all, and his illness was cured thanks to him. To him, his wife's words were too unreasonable.

"I think he just doesn't want to give us the medicine. Will it help if I pay for it?"

"Do you think he needs your money?"

"What do you mean by that?!"

Crack! A cup smashed onto the floor.

A small matter and needless suspicion had caused a family conflict.

Wang Yao's third uncle slammed the door and left the house, not wanting to stay in there.

"Go and don't come back!" A sobbing sound rang out from the room.

In the evening, when Wang Yao came down the hill to have dinner at home, he noticed his father did not look at ease.

"What happened? Dad looks troubled," he whispered to his mother.

"Don't worry about him. Your third aunt called this afternoon. She wants your father to make a trip to her place. She claimed that your third uncle hit her and she wants to divorce him." Zhang Xiuying was furious. "He wanted to go, and I stopped him!"

"What is she kicking up a fuss over, this time?" Wang Yao was dumbstruck.

His third aunt and uncle have threatened to divorce several times before, especially when Wang Yao's grandfather was still alive. At that time, the commotion was bigger. Simply put, the root cause was money. His grandfather was a retired teacher who had a good income. His third aunt and youngest aunt were both eyeing the old man's pension. Each time they had huge arguments over small matters, they would call the old man. Of course, Wang Yao's mother grumbled as well but was suppressed by Wang Fenghua. Ever since Wang Yao's grandfather passed away, the commotion between the two families had petered out.

"Don't tell me they were arguing because of the medicine?"

"Possibly," Zhang Xiuying answered.

When Wang Yao heard her, he was dumbfounded. Subsequently, he laughed; he was so riled that he was laughing in anger! To argue over such a small matter—what kind of life was that? Some kind of child's play?

"If not, let's get the medicine to them?" Zhang Xiuying tested the waters and asked.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Don't be like Grandpa, spoiling them. If they want to argue, let them. Dad should interfere less. Bickering over such useless stuff—is this what adults do?!" As Wang Yao spoke, he got more infuriated. For some time, he had been reading scriptures daily and hardly got rankled. Yet, this time his fury was stoked because of his own relatives.
