Chapter 1611: The Situation of the Yang FamilyEditor: Henyee Translations

This time, when Zhou Han returned, he happened to send over the medicinal herbs he had collected in the capital and Lingzhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Shao Qingyuan and the others.

The owner of this medical center was surnamed Ji. Boss Ji had a good relationship with Zhou Han. Now that he saw his attitude towards Shao Qingyuan, he guessed that he might not be as simple as the imperial physician’s disciple.

Fortunately, Shao Qingyuan only hated Doctor Li and was not dissatisfied with this clinic.

The few of them chatted for a while before Gu Yundong and the others learned about the Yang family’s situation.

The Yang family was quite famous in Anyi County because twenty years ago, the Yang family was still a big family in the county. The older families in the county were very envious of the Yang family’s prosperous scenery back then.

But now, they could only sigh.

The great-grandfather of the Yang family had the foresight to do it and earned a large piece of the family business. It could be said that one-fifth of the businesses in Anyi County used to belong to the Yang family.

However, the great-grandfather of the Yang family passed away early. Later, the family business fell on Yang Zhifu’s shoulders. Yang Zhifu did not have the boldness of his father, but he could protect the business. Although the Yang family did not advance to the next level, it was not a problem to protect the family business.

At that time, the Yang family was still very influential in the county.

Unfortunately, they were only rich for three generations. When it came to Yang Wenli, the Yang family could not do it.

Yang Wenli was a refined person at first. Everyone felt that this person would definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. After all, he had become an Elementary Scholar at such a young age.

Later on, he was even fancied by the county magistrate at that time, who married his daughter to him. The couple gave birth to a son, Yang He.

At that time, Yang Wenli’s family had assets and he was an Elementary Scholar. He even married the daughter of the county magistrate. It could be said that he had boundless glory and a limitless future.

However, all the glory ended five years later.

The amount of corruption and bribery received by the county magistrate of Anyi County was huge. It even involved a human life. The evidence was conclusive and he was imprisoned. The county magistrate’s family did not have a good ending.

As a son-in-law, Yang Wenli was naturally trembling with fear. Fortunately, the Yang family was not implicated, but Yang Wenli started to get impatient with his wife from then on.

His wife was already extremely worried because of her family’s disaster and fell sick very quickly. In the end, her husband, who used to be so loving, suddenly changed his expression, making her heart turn to ashes. In less than a year, she passed away, leaving behind Yang He, who was still young.

Yang Zhifu and his wife were also very pained by Yang Wenli’s actions. However, he was their only son after all. Other than beating and scolding him, they would not sever their relationship.

Moreover, after his wife passed away, Yang Wenli was indeed filled with regret. He brought his only son along and cried all day.

Seeing this, Yang Zhifu and his wife could not blame him anymore. Instead, they had to comfort him to pull himself together and get a scholarship as soon as possible. In the future, he would clear his father-in-law’s name and prove their innocence.

Yang Wenli had agreed, but he turned around and said that he couldn’t study at all and couldn’t take the examination at all. He said that he didn’t want to be an official because he was frightened by his father-in-law’s outcome.

Yang Zhifu and his wife couldn’t believe it. However, when they saw their son getting weaker and weaker every day, their hearts softened.

So be it. The Yang family’s assets were enough to support him. Even if he had to collect land and rent, his health was still the most important.

At most, they would nurture their little grandson to continue studying. They were still young.

However, Yang Zhifu and his wife soon realized that they were too naive.
