"Don't tell me that when an old man has something, it should go to his son. Who the hell made that rule? Did giving birth to you and raising you leave me in your debt? Should the old man just stop living then? You're not spawned from a rock, Yang Gangqiang. You have a father and a mother too. Call your parents over and ask them if what you're saying is right or not. If you bought something for your parents and your sister-in-law or brother's wife took it away, would you be perfectly content with that?"
The commotion in Yang Gangqiang's house wasn't small. By the time Secretary Yang had said these words, a crowd had already gathered at the front door. Some, driven by a strong sense of gossip, simply walked in and stood at the kitchen door, holding their bowls of rice and watching with relish as they ate.
This included Yang Dan's second elder brother and his wife.
Yang's second elder brother didn't want to come at first; it was his wife who dragged him here.
