Yang Yongxian took out a piece of silk cloth from his bosom, carefully unfolding it layer by layer. Inside was a silver note worth thirty taels. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

He put the silver note into Lao Yang's hand, "Master, this money, you help me give it to her. After all, husband and wife for a lifetime, this is my last compensation to her."

Old Yang's eyes widened when he saw the thirty taels of silver, and his whiskers stood on end with rage.

"Yongxian, aren't you being foolish? Li Xiu Xin has nothing to do with you now, why are you sending her so much money?" Lao Yangtou asked.

“How much is it?” Tan shi couldn't see, so she hurriedly grabbed Cao Baimei's arm and asked.

Cao Baimei whispered, "Thirty taels."

>

"What? Thirty taels? Yongxian, did the door pinch your brains?" Tan shi shouted.

"Do you know that thirty taels of silver can buy six mu of prime farmland?" Mrs. Tan asked again.

“Your third uncle’s family only spent over thirty taels of silver when they built this two-entrance courtyard!” Old Yang also said.

Then Tan continued, “My husband and your grandfather worked hard our whole lives. The most money I ever had in my little box was twenty taels, and that was to buy land.”

You got this teaching job thanks to Qings little school. Now you've gotten a few coins and don't know the difference between heaven and earth.

“Thirty taels of silver, what are you keeping it for? You have to give it to that woman from the downstairs family. Are you afraid she won’t have a dowry to remarry?” Tan asked, stamping her feet in anger.

Yang Yongxian was spat on by Tan and covered in saliva. He took several steps back.

"Milk, grandpa, I understand what you mean, but I also have my own plans..."

“Do you have any devilish plans? Have you gone mad from studying too much?” Tan Shi asked again.

Yang Yongxian's lips moved soundlessly, his head drooping as he stood there, "I…"

“What are you saying? Your grandpa has prepared so many gifts to give to her, what else do you want?” said Madam Tan.

Yang Yongxian stood there, wanting to speak, but couldn't find the words.

This should be a paragraph break. Let me know if you'd like any other text translated!

Yang Ruqing spoke up, "Mother, Grandfather, let me hear what my older brother has to say first. He's not stupid, we can listen to his ideas and then refute them. There's no need to rush."

“Brother, hurry up and tell me!” Yang Ruqing urged again.

Yang Yongxian nodded and said, "I divorced her. In this world, if a man divorces a woman, he can still marry another wife and have children."

And when a woman is divorced, it becomes very difficult for her to remarry into a suitable family. She may even be pointed at and gossiped about as she walks outside.

“I gave her some money so she would have something to fall back on, even if she didn't find a suitable husband in a year or two. At least she wouldn't go hungry.” he said.

Tan hummed and said, "With this thirty taels of silver, she wouldn't need to marry a man for the rest of her life."

Yang Yongxian said, "Only thirty taels. Even if she saves for a year and spends only three taels, it would only take ten years at most. There's no need to exaggerate like that."

Tan said, "It's true that you are a bookworm. This thirty taels of silver, she takes out twenty taels to buy five or six mu of second-class farmland,"

"If she rents it out again, the annual rent alone would be enough to cover her food and drink. As for the remaining ten or so ounces of silver, she could use that to invest in interest-bearing securities."

"Earn interest, interest begets interest, money makes more money. It's like a snowball rolling downhill. If you let it go, it will just get bigger and bigger. She'll end up relying on you for everything her whole life while you struggle to make ends meet?" Mrs. Tan pressed further.

Yang Yongxian was so scolded by Tan that he couldn't raise his head, and his body was shaking.

But he still insisted on not taking back the silver note, only saying, "You're right, but my mind is made up and I don't want to change it."

“Oh, you little rascal! You've gotten into trouble again with your grandmother, haven't you?” Tan's voice shot up an octave, startling Yang Yongxian so badly that he shivered.

But Yang Yongxian still had no intention of taking back the silver note.

He glanced at Yang Ruqing and said, "Ruqing, I'll leave this to you. Please hand over the silver notes to her. I'm leaving first."

>

After saying that, Yang Yongxian turned and ran away in embarrassment.

Tan shi stomped her foot in anger, "You little rascal, come back here! I haven't finished speaking!"

“Stop yelling, he’s long gone.” Old Yang said angrily.

The old man sighed, glanced at the silver note that was already in Yang Ruohong's hands, and said, "Are you really going to transfer this silver note to Li Xiu Xin on behalf of your older brother?"

Yang Ruqing said, “We've said what we should and shouldn't have. Let's just respect Big Brother's opinion!”

Old Yang sighed, "Oh, this boy... he's nothing like his father. If this happened to the eldest..."

Old Yang didn't say any more.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "The four cousins of the eldest brother are not like my uncle's personality at all."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Yang Huanan is the kind of person who shirks responsibility and acts selfishly.

Although Yang Yongqing may not be as upright and innocent as his three older cousins, he has also done some sneaky things.

But at the end of the day, he was forced to do so in order to save money to marry Yu Jinguai. And now, he is a complete wife slave.

As for being a "wife slave," Yang Yongqing doesn't seem like his uncle.

“Grandpa, Grandma, it's time for us to leave. We'll be nearing lunchtime if we don't leave now.” Yang Ruohua said.

Old Yang nodded, addressing the still chattering Tan family: "That's enough. Let's go. Yongxian is a kind person, and the men in our old Yang family are responsible. This is a good thing!"

Tan's face was full of indignation. "Thirty taels of silver have already been taken, what else is there to take? Just leave!"

Old Yang was stunned, and the others were also stunned. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"Having bought everything, this..." Yang Huazhong, holding the items, was at a loss what to do.

Tan said, "Thirty taels of silver is enough for her to live her whole life, why bother with these gifts? Just keep them all. Let Qing'er's mother stew the bighead fish with tofu at noon and make a big pot. We'll eat it when we get back!"

"Thirty taels of silver would be enough for them to buy a pond full of fish, and some eggs. Keep some back and divide it among the little children in several rooms!"

Tan's domineering words gave people a sense of her unyielding attitude.

Yang Huazhong looked at Lao Yangtou again. Lao Yangtou said, "Then listen to your mother and put things back!"

When Yang Huazhong had put everything back, including the gift Yang Ruoqing was carrying, everyone lightened their loads and got into the carriage waiting at the door. They then headed straight to Li Jia Village without further delay.

Li Jia Cun, Li Xiu Xin's home.

Every village is pretty much the same. Even a slight bit of commotion will draw most of the villagers to gather and watch the excitement.

There, a carriage stopped at the gate of Li Xiu's home. Naturally, men, women, and children surrounded the carriage.

Then many people also stood outside the courtyard. Everyone curiously stared at those few houses inside the courtyard, pointing and whispering, discussing excitedly.

Of course, they didn't go into the yard because when Li's mother was greeting Lao Yangtou and his friends, she casually closed the house door.
