Chapter 625: Chapter 626: There’s No Shame in Having a Lower Status
Seeing Yang Da’an kneeling down, Ms. Liu didn’t dare to say more and knelt with him. Now she dared not argue with Old Yang or look down on his status.
If Old Yang became unhappy, their whole family would be left with nothing.
However, there was one thing she didn’t know, which was that Old Yang had once been a servant too. Actually, not many people in the Yang Family knew this fact, not even Ms. Luo, who widened her eyes in surprise.
Old Yang saw the first branch of the family members kneeling and humphed, "Having a low status is not shameful, neither is making a living with one’s own skill. We’re much better than those who steal and rob."
After scolding the first branch couple, he turned to Leader Chen, "It means you’re his master, right?"
Leader Chen cupped his hands in obeisance, "Old Grand Master, I am indeed."
Old Yang waved his hand, "What Old Grand Master? My granddaughter has the ability to employ servants at home. I too served others when I was young. Enough, let’s not waste time with idle talk. Since you’re his master, you are also his rightful elder. I’ve got only this to say, if they want to marry my granddaughter, I agree, as both children are willing. Yang Family won’t try to stop the union."
"Father..." Ms. Liu couldn’t help but call out unwillingly.
Hearing this, Old Yang glared at her fiercely, and she didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Old Yang then turned his head and continued looking at Leader Chen, "But, the lad just said he wants to buy land and build a house in our village. Since that’s the case, let him make these arrangements first before discussing the marriage with my granddaughter. Whenever he puts the land deed and property on the table, and the house is properly built, my granddaughter can get married at any time."
When Leader Chen heard this, he glanced at Chen Sheng, who was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir, I will make the arrangements as soon as possible."
Old Yang looked at him and remained calm, "It’s too early to call me sir now, wait until you’ve settled everything."
"Yes, yes."
At this moment, Leader Chen was genuinely impressed by Old Yang.
They were just actors, a fact that couldn’t be changed. Although everyone enjoyed their performances, they were not treated like ordinary people off stage.
Yet, the words from the old man’s mouth didn’t contain a hint of condescension, but full of respect; this is called magnanimity.
Leader Chen thought to himself that it was no wonder GrandMaster Yang belongs to a prestigious family. As for his previous servitude, it’s been so many years, no need to mention it. So in his mind, the third branch of the Yang Family was considered wealthy too.
"GrandMaster Yang, you can rest assured. Since you’ve agreed, I, as his master, will personally take care of my apprentice’s affairs. I will make sure everything is settled properly, and not let Miss Qiu’er suffer any grievances."
"Good, I’ll be waiting," Old Yang said and glanced at Yang Da’an and Ms. Liu, adding, "As for this matter, I am making the decision."
"Thank you so much, Old Grand Master." Leader Chen slapped Chen Sheng, "Haven’t you thanked the Old Grand Master yet?"
Chen Sheng had a sweet tongue, and he kowtowed to Old Yang, "Thank you for granting this favor, sir!" See, he doesn’t change his way of addressing even if told not to.
After that, Chen Sheng said a few words to Ruoqiu, "Miss Ruoqiu, I will definitely come to marry you as soon as possible. Please wait for me."
At this moment, Ruoqiu was overjoyed, and couldn’t help but nod her head with tears in her eyes.
Subsequently, Leader Chen and Chen Sheng left the gifts behind, and took their leave.
Only then did Old Yang look again at the first branch couple, "Why are you still kneeling? Don’t you feel ashamed in front of outsiders?"
