Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 503 - 503 498 Say Nothing to Him

Chapter 503: Chapter 498 Say Nothing to Him Chapter 503: Chapter 498 Say Nothing to Him When her son shouted at her like that, Yang Dan’s older sister immediately flared up. She stormed over to Yang Bo’s room door, finding it locked, and began pounding furiously with her hand while shouting, “Blame me? Each and everyone of you blames me, but who am I doing this for?

I skimp on food and clothing, and where does the money I save go? Isn’t it all spent on you three men? I get you all new clothes for the New Year, but what about me? You heartless thing, haven’t you seen how many years your mom has worn the same cotton-padded jacket…”

The more Yang Dan’s older sister spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and finally, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but burst into loud sobs, “You and your brother will have to get married and build houses in the future. If I don’t save money, what will you do? I’ve worked so hard, all these years always looking after the three of you first. I can’t even bring myself to buy leather shoes…”

But her grievances didn’t earn her son’s sympathy. Yang Bo shouted impatiently from inside the room, “Who told you not to buy them, was it me who made you wear the same cotton-padded jacket for years? Was it me who stopped you from buying leather shoes? If you choose not to buy them yourself, who can you blame?”

While mother and son were quarreling, there was an unusual bustle at the doorstep of Yang Dan’s home.

After parking the car, Memberland got out and began to take things from the trunk: cigarettes, alcohol, health products, as well as fruits and various snack gifts. Yang Dan’s forehead started pulsing, “Didn’t I already tell you? Just bring some fruit, no need to buy anything else. We’re leaving tomorrow, why did you buy so much…”

Seeing nosy neighbors start to gather around, Yang Dan didn’t say much more and began helping Memberland unload the items.

Yang’s father, hearing the commotion at the gate, walked out from the courtyard, and Memberland quickly went forward to greet him.

Hearing the word “uncle” and seeing Memberland next to the car, Yang’s father felt a bit confused, mainly because Yang Dan hadn’t told him that the friend coming over today was a man; he had even thought that it would be Jiajia, having overheard her talking on the phone with Jiajia last night.

During high school, Mu Jiawen had visited here and even stayed for a few days, and the elderly couple both had a deep impression of the pretty girl, also knowing that she had been admitted to Beijing University, a very smart and capable child.

“Uncle, is this Dan Dan’s boyfriend from Beijing?”

Yang Dan’s father snapped back to his senses but when he opened his mouth to say “Ah,” he didn’t know what to say. In the end, all he could do was turn his head to Yang Dan, asking with his eyes, Is this your boyfriend?

Yang Dan glanced at her father, signaling that she would explain later, then faced the neighbors and boldly admitted, “Yes, from Beijing.”

The crowd erupted as if a bomb had gone off, “See? I told you he was Dan Dan’s boyfriend.”

“I said he was from Beijing, and you didn’t believe me.”

“Who didn’t believe it? The car license plate is from Beijing, there’s no need for you to say it.”

Memberland set down what he was carrying, took out cigarettes, and started handing them out to the men, one by one. Seeing the brand on the cigarette pack, some couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise and quickly accepted the cigarettes.

He was a genial person with a friendly smile, but he seemed a bit awkward when making small talk and couldn’t quite understand the local dialect.

Yang Dan spotted her second brother’s little nephew, Songsong, in the crowd and called him over, “Go, call your father here.”

Songsong turned and ran off swiftly.

Among the things her future brother-in-law had taken out of the car, he had seen several beautifully packaged boxes, likely chocolate. They must be for him, he thought.

“Dad, Dad…”

As soon as Songsong entered his house, he started calling out loudly, “Auntie wants you to go over to Grandma’s house; her boyfriend is here.”

Boyfriend?

Yang’s second brother and sister-in-law walked out of the house, looking puzzled at their son, “What did you just say? Whose boyfriend?”

“Auntie’s boyfriend. He drove over from Beijing in a car, and he brought a lot of stuff for Grandma and Grandpa.”

The two exchanged glances, both somewhat shocked.

Why hadn’t Yang Dan mentioned anything when she delivered the electric scooter this morning? Could there have been a mistake?

Yang Er’s sister-in-law grabbed her son, wanting to ask for details, “Are you sure it was your little aunt’s partner? What does he look like?”

“Definitely him… he looks like…” At this moment, Songsong’s mind was occupied with those few boxes of chocolates; how could he remember what his uncle-in-law looked like?

So, impatiently, he said, “Aiyah, you’ll know if you go see for yourselves. Dad, hurry up, your sister asked for you to come over.”

No sooner had Songsong finished speaking than he dashed out the door; he was afraid Yang Bin, that glutton, would snatch the chocolates again. Although his little aunt and his family had quarreled and they hadn’t gone to grandma’s house for New Year’s, that guy was thick-skinned. Who knew if he would see the goodies and decide to take them by force?

Yang Bin was Yang Bo’s younger brother, two years older than Songsong. The two had been at odds since childhood, fighting each time they met. Mainly because Yang Bin would steal anything tasty or fun he saw. For that, he had been disciplined by Yang Er’s sister-in-law several times and also had many fights with Yang Da’s sister-in-law.

In any case, the kid’s personality was just like his mother’s, not exactly endearing.

At that moment, the unendearing kid watched his little aunt and her partner, as well as his grandfather, enter the yard. The onlooking neighbors who had gathered had taken their cue to disperse.

He paced a few circles at the doorway; maybe the scene of Yang Dan swinging a shovel at his house had traumatized him, which is why, in the end, he did not dare to enter, but instead went back to his own home, disheartened.

Yang Gangqiang had just returned from playing cards when he ran into his younger son at the door.

He glanced at his son, covered in dust, assuming he had gotten into another fight outside and paid him no mind.

But Yang Bin clung to his arm, looked up with blinking eyes and said, “Dad, go over to grandpa’s. My little aunt’s partner has come to visit, bringing loads and loads of stuff. There were two big boxes of alcohol alone, and grandpa doesn’t even like to drink. You could move them over, keep one box for yourself, and give one box to my maternal grandpa.”

Well, aren’t you making tidy arrangements?

Yang Gangqiang almost laughed in irritation; he hadn’t noticed before, but now realized that his younger son was just like his daughter-in-law after all.

Definitely, whenever there was something nice at his parents’ place, his daughter-in-law would take a bit for their home and send some to her parents’.

It became a habit, and over time, Yang Bin rightfully thought that they had the right to distribute his grandmother’s things.

But at the same time, he was cunning, not mentioning the chocolates he wanted, and first brought up the alcohol his dad liked.

Unfortunately, his timing with this scheme was off. Yang Gangqiang raised his other empty hand and slapped it onto his son’s forehead, scolding, “Get lost!”

After the scolding, something clicked, “What did this kid just say?”

His little aunt has a partner?

He hurriedly grabbed Yang Bin, who was trying to escape, and asked, “Your little aunt has a partner now?”

“Yeah, he came in a car. Xie Ergou’s dad said it’s a BMW, very expensive. I heard my little aunt telling someone that her partner came to pick up grandpa and grandma, they’re going to Beijing tomorrow.”

Going to Beijing?

Yang Gangqiang was suddenly stunned.

The first visit from Yang Dan’s partner and he wasn’t called, the old man and lady going to Beijing without informing him—was this… were they really cutting ties with him?
