Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's firm refusal, Old Yang was stunned.

Yang Ruqing was afraid he wouldn't understand, so she continued, "Why can't I do it? Because I don't feel like I've done anything wrong to Uncle Four,"

>

“I have done everything I could for him, for the entire Fourth House, and even for the entire Old Yang family.”

"I've helped everyone I could, Fifth Uncle, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Lan'er Sister, Ah-hau's brother-in-law, even my Wang Zhuanzi uncle and his family – I've tailored tasks for each of them."

"My Fifth Uncle and Second Brother have now become my left and right arms. I've practically given control of the inns in Qianyuan County and the city to them."

>

“San Ge and Ah Hao’s brother-in-law are also backbone members in the transportation team. Uncle of Chuan Zi is not in good health and hasn't studied much, so I arranged a job for him as a watchman at a school. He can earn five or six hundred coins each month to support himself.”

“Grandpa, I, Yang Ruqing, have truly done my best for everyone.”

These people are all good, but only Fourth Uncle is not.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“I care about Fourth Uncle the most, and he causes the most trouble. He’s a person who creates waves as soon as there’s wind,”

“Extreme restlessness, laziness, and a scheming mind—these past years, everyone knows this about me. I'm too lazy to list them one by one.”

"So, grandpa, I can't possibly go to his place and pretend to accept his promises like a fool,"

“I’m not the type to lie. Things are as they are. Since he's made up for the money he took from the inn, I won't press charges. Let's just forget about this.”

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

"I won't go to visit him, but out of respect for the fact that he is still my uncle's son, when my parents go to visit Uncle Four later, I will also buy some gifts and ask them to bring them along. This is my last bit of kindness, nothing more!"

After hearing Yang Ruqing's heartfelt words, Old Yang froze in place.

After fully digesting the meaning of those words, Lao Yang's whole body collapsed, like a deflated balloon.

Yang Ruqing had no interest in comforting Old Yang. She was the kind of person who would never force herself to do something she didn't want to do.

Unless it was for her closest family, she would never make an exception.

But similarly, close friends and family wouldn't want her to do something she doesn't want to do either, so this assumption doesn't hold.

“Father, why don’t you have dinner with Grandpa? I’ll go back first, and come see you again later.”

Leaving those words, Yang Ruqing turned around and left without looking back.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Old Yang sat at the table, sighing and groaning, his face a little pale.

Yang Huazhong put another serving of vegetables on Lao Yangtou's plate. Lao Yangtou waved his hand and didn't move his chopsticks.

“I don't know what bad deeds I've committed that would lead to this situation at home. Everything was flourishing before, how come it's become like this? Some are injured, some are crazy,”

"These mountain delicacies, I'm just not hungry anymore. No more, no more!" Old Yang said.

Yang Huazhong could only put down his chopsticks and comfort him, saying, "Father, our Qinger has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. This time, it was really the fourth brother who went too far."

“If, in the future, your younger brother truly changes for the better and everyone can see it, then when that time comes, those who should take care of him will still do so. Father, you don't need to worry so much. Worrying won't help things go faster.”

Old Yang raised his eyelids, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his dim eyes.

"So you mean that when things calm down, you'll also help speak to Lao Si and Qinger?" the old man asked.

Yang Huazhong smiled and said sincerely: "As long as the fourth brother truly takes out a sincere heart and a sincere attitude to repent, then everything he says and does will be evident to all."

“Even if I don't speak up for him, Qinger has her own eyes. She'll see for herself, Father. Don't worry so much and just eat your meal. The food is getting cold.”

Old Yang had nothing to say.

With a sigh, he raised his chopsticks and began to eat the dishes sullenly, downing drinks one after another.

Trying to numb my anxious feelings with this alcohol.

For two days, the weather was calm and peaceful. During those two days, in the mornings, Mrs. Sun went to serve Mrs. Tan by delivering food and taking care of her needs like having tea and using the restroom.

In the afternoon, Bao Suyun, Zhao Liuer, and Jin came over to help.

The Liu family didn't show their face at all. They still ate, drank, used the toilet, and went to the village to hear gossip just like they always did.

Even Yang Huaming's side, she didn't even bother to take care of it.

Yang Huaming depended entirely on Xiaojuan's care. Xiaojuan had to take care of Yang Huaming while also taking care of Gou Dan. In just two days, she had lost a lot of weight.

Old Yang couldn't stand it anymore, so he called Liu over to scold her.

“The current situation at home is this: your mother-in-law sprained her foot and is lying in bed, and your husband has also fallen ill and needs to be looked after,”

"You, a woman, shouldn't be running around all day long, gossiping and spreading rumors instead of staying at home to help with the chores. It's truly unbecoming!"

Facing Old Yang's scolding, Liu showed a face full of grievance.

"It's not that I wasn't willing to serve my lady, you see. That day, I wanted to stay and serve her, but in front of the third sister-in-law and the others, my lady chased me out."

"She guarded against me like a thief, unwilling to let me serve her. What could I do?" she said.

Old Yang was taken aback, not expecting this from Mrs. Tan. He was speechless for a moment.

Then Liu continued, "As for the fourth child's side, I swore back then that I wouldn't even step into that fox den!"

“Besides, isn't it all that fox spirit's fault that the fourth one turned out like this?”

“They both secretly bought large houses in the county town and planned to move there with Gou Dan, deliberately leaving me and the children behind. They were so ruthless! Should I still go take care of him? Am I stupid!”

Here's the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

His words left Old Yang speechless. Yang Huaming's father wanted to defend him, but couldn't find the right words.

"No matter what Lao Si does, he's still the head of the fourth house and the pillar holding it up," Lao Yangtou said.

"Even if he took Xiaoxuan and Gou Dan to the county town, he never ran out of food for you folks!"

“Aren't you at all worried that the fourth brother will collapse, and that you'll lose your source of income?” he asked.

Liu pursed her lips and did not answer. "I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave."

After finishing her words, she swayed her hips and hummed a little tune as she went back to the western room opposite.

Lao Yang looked at Liu's back, his face muscles twitching with anger.

“What kind of people are these? Such misfortune, such misfortune!” He sighed and turned to go to Yang Huaming’s place.

Here, after Liu returned to the west wing, she quickly shut the windows and doors. Then she went to the bed and flipped over the bedding. She inserted her fingers into the cracks between the mattress and the frame, probing and searching.

Then he pulled out a smelly sock.

The socks probably haven't been washed in two or three years, they are rock hard.

Liu wouldn't scorn these socks, she treated them like treasures, holding them in the palm of her hand and carefully pouring out their contents while counting.

A genius in one second: m.
