The few followers heeded his decision and nodded in agreement.
Grandmother Ye was not pleased with this. She yelled at the men, “Who says I can’t touch it? I paid you people to do some work, and you’re just going to quit? This is unreasonable!”
Liu Duo and Ye Ling went to the brothers’ side, looking on as Grandmother Ye ranted.
“Don’t mind those ungrateful brats! Do what you were asked to do and dig. They won’t do anything. I don’t believe they’d dare to hit me!” The words were spoken to the men paid to dig up the graves, but her eyes were harshly glaring at her grandsons, as if she could gobble them up.
Even so, the men did not dare to work, since Ye Mo’s stinging glare was still fixed on them.
At that moment, Ye Xuan’s mother, who was also the brothers’ second aunt, arrived.
“This is preposterous. How dare you talk to your grandmother like that, you ungrateful brats? Mother, stop this nonsense, and let’s dig the grave. Best not ruin our Xuan’s scholarly future,” Ye Wushi shamelessly said as she went to the old woman’s side.
Then she ordered the men they had hired, “Come one, get to it. What are you standing there for? Do you want the remaining payment or not?”
The men had only been paid half of what was promised to them. They would get the other half of the payment after they had finished the job.
Ye Mo swaggered and moved to the front of the graves when he saw her giving out orders. How could they start? The men were put in a difficult spot, not knowing what to do.
Ye Wushi grabbed a hoe from one of the men’s hands, held it up, and was about to dig in when Ye Mo immediately swung his shoulder pole and struck her body, “Bitch, did you think I was joking?”
Ye Mo’s swing packed quite a punch. The men who had been hired to the digging could feel the physical pain, even though none of them had been struck. They were glad they hadn’t started. After all, they had come for the money, not for a beating. They had agreed to the job because they were offered a great sum of money.
“Ah… Damn you, Ye Mo. How dare you hit me? You motherless scum!” Ye Wushi gave a horrible shriek and scolded him.
Grandmother Ye saw that her daughter-in-law was injured. She went up and pushed Ye Mo aside, “This is preposterous! You unworthy bastard, you dare hit your aunt! What uncultured good-for-nothing scum!”
“So what if I hit her? If you dare touch our parents’ graves, I’ll beat you too!” Ye Mo raised his pole in a defiant pose, as though not recognizing family!
Liu Duo applauded him as he did so. With family like that, they deserve to be punished! Otherwise, they would take the brothers for easy prey.
Ye Yang stepped forward too, after seeing Ye Mo in action. He stood in front of Grandmother Ye and Ye Wushi, emotionless as always, saying nothing as usual, just glaring very coldly at them!
It was a face that dared them to touch their parents’ graves if they could get past him!
Ye Ling was next to join them. Even though he couldn’t help, he refused to back down and dishonour his brothers.
Grandmother Ye pointed at them, her voice shaking, “You… All of you…”
“Grandmother, Mother, what is the meaning of this? Do you actually believe what the fortune teller said?” Ye Xuan said as he caught up with them.
He had heard from Ye Lanlan that their grandmother had paid some men to destroy his uncle and aunt’s grave, and he got so flustered that he had rushed out of the house. After all, the dead should rest in peace and not be disturbed. And would Ye Yang and his brothers agree to this?
“Xuan, why did you come?” Grandmother Ye became gentle and kind at the sound of Ye Xuan’s voice.
Then, Ye Wushi bawled out, “Xuan, my dear, Ye Mo almost beat me to death!”
