Li Mu was speechless when confronted by Tan Shi.

She flushed and said, "When my Xiu Xin entered your Old Yang family, she was a pure and innocent girl." She said.

Mrs. Tan said, "Yes, she is the daughter of a scholar. We chose her because we thought she would be well-educated, respectful, and know right from wrong. That's why we agreed to this marriage."

Li Mu said: “I remember that when my daughter Xiu Xin first entered your Yang family, she was splashed with dirty water by you people after only one month.”

"If she doesn't receive a bridal veil in the bridal chamber, then they say my daughter is not a virgin."

“Only later did I learn that it was Yang Yongxian from your family who was incompetent and did not put forth any effort.”

"Your Yang family has always had the bad habit of throwing dirty water on others. This time, it's probably another attempt to smear my daughter's reputation. She can't have children, and the problem lies with your Yang Yongxian, not with my daughter!" she said.

Tan smiled coldly, "My Yongxian just became a groom, he's inexperienced and doesn't understand anything. Even if he can't keep up, as his wife, I should be tolerant."

“Men are heaven, women are earth. Your husband Yongxian lacks in that aspect. You, Li Xiu Xin as his wife, should be more anxious than him, going to seek doctors and medicines for him. That's what a wife should do, not returning to her parents' home to complain and spreading what happens between you two in bed to everyone else, ruining your husband's reputation. In this regard, your daughter is wrong!”

Li Mu hurriedly defended: "My Xi Xin didn't say..."

"Since you didn't say anything, how did you know? And where did this aunt come from and how did she know?"

"This aunt's mouth is obviously big and long. Who knows if she adds oil and vinegar to spread stories about my niece Yongxian everywhere!"

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

"At least before, Yongxian was still your Li family's son-in-law. You are really stupid, letting others spread word about your son-in-law's affairs everywhere, tsk tsk..."

Tan shook her head, a look of disdain on her face.

Li Mu was once again speechless.

Auntie Li finally came to her senses after being shocked by the news of thirty taels of silver. She raised her voice and defended herself: "I haven't told anyone else, my nephew and his wife's affairs, I know what's going on!"

"Shut up!" Tan directly rebuked Li's aunt, "Right now, it's our Lao Yang family and the Li family discussing matters of marriage. There is no place for outsiders like you to interfere!"

"You..."

>

"What do I what?" Tan's eyebrows also shot up.

“If you keep making a fuss in front of the two local officials and disrupting our negotiations, then we won't be able to talk this over!”

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

As soon as Old Yang said this, both Yang Huazhong and the head of Li Jia Cun's village looked at Li Jiamu's mother-in-law with displeasure.

The woman was being rather unreasonable, but the man with her seemed a bit intimidated.

"Alright, just relax. This is my sister's business, let her talk first." the man said.

Aunt Li's family was so angry that she snorted again.

Here, Li's mother cried to Tan Shi: "Alright, let's not bring up the past. Both children are young and energetic, it's normal for them to argue and fight. Whose couple doesn't argue and fight? Yongxian's grandmother, isn't that right?"

Tan pulled at the corner of her mouth, "That's the logic, but even the best relationships can't stand constant fighting and bickering."

Li Mu said, “My daughter Xi Xin’s temper is stubborn, that’s true. But this girl is a good girl, she stands her ground.”

She said, she's been set on your Yongxian this whole life and won't marry anyone else.

Now Li's mother is starting to play the emotional card.

Yang Ruqing and Cao Baimei exchanged a knowing glance, both wisely choosing to remain silent and continue listening.

Then Li's mother continued, "As elders, we should advise reconciliation rather than separation."

“This silver note, our Li family refuses to accept it. As for this divorce notice, please take it back.”

"Life as a married couple must go on. I've already spoken to Xiu Xin about it. Yong Xian is busy teaching at the schoolhouse; he's the teacher for miles around. He wants to benefit the local community and pass on knowledge to the children."

As his wife, you should know your place and think of him.

“So later, I'll have Xiu Xin go back to Lao Yang's house with you all. There's no need for Yong Xian to pick you up. I don't want to delay his training, and my daughter Xiu Xin has agreed to it as well. She said that when she goes back, she will live a good life…”

Hearing this, Yang Ruqing really quietly wiped a cold sweat.

This cold sweat was really from being shocked.

Mrs. Li, what's with this servile attitude of hers? Where did she go those past two months that she's become like this?

If two months ago when Yang Yongxian moved to the academy, you and your daughter could have humbled yourselves and shown Yang Yongxian concern and apologized, things wouldn't have escalated to this point!

Just two days before receiving the notice of dismissal, he was still running around, trying to persuade people to go to Old Yang's house and ask Yang Yongxian to pick up Li Xiu Xin from Li's family...

Now, he has put aside all dignity and integrity, and主动ly proposed to let Li Xiu Xin return to Lao Yang's family with them.

Oh, you softie, getting abused!

Tan shook her head with a sneer, "No, no, no. We came here today because my son Yongxian wants us to deliver silver to Li Xiu Xin, not to pick up your daughter and bring her back to the old Yang family."

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

“If it were someone else, they would just be divorced and kicked out of the house. It’s that simple, that’s how the world works!”

“But our Yang family is different. We are a family that values face and reputation. My son Yongxian is also a man of integrity and loyalty.”

"Today we came over because we heard your daughter has been going through a tough time, and we couldn't bear to see that. We came to visit her and brought some money as well."

"As for this money, if you take it, we can report back to Yongxian and settle things there. From then on, our two families will have no debts with each other and live in peace."

"Our family has plenty of money, and we will certainly not divorce!" Li's mother suddenly shouted, waving the silver note on the table to the ground.

Li Jia's aunt quickly picked it up and blew off the dust on it.

"Sister, you can scold me all you want, but don't get angry about the money! You don't need it, I do. My family is actually running low on cash!" Li Jia Aunt blurted out.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

Li's mother was so angry her face turned white. She pointed at Li's maternal aunt and said, "You, you good-for-nothing! Give me back the silver notes!"

“Sister...”

“Bring it here!” Li’s mother shouted angrily again. Li Jia’s older brother nudged Li Jia’s aunt, and the woman reluctantly put the silver note back on the table.

Mrs. Li threw the silver notes before Lao Yang and Tan, saying: "We don't want money; if we take this money, our daughter will be completely abandoned."

"Go back and tell Yang Yongxian, Xiu Xin hanged herself because of him. Xiu Xin loved him so deeply, ask him how he can bear the guilt? All for that fox spirit, Ping'er?"

"As for Ping'er, I have something to say!"

Yang Ruqing finally spoke.

"My elder brother and Li Xiu Xin's marriage won't work out, he has long since had nothing to do with Ping Er, don't involve innocent people,"

"Ping'er is not a fox spirit. She left Changping Village long ago and lives in town. It's your Li Xiuxin who is suspicious and making trouble out of nothing!" she said.

"Even if we concede that it's natural for men to have three wives and four concubines, our Yang family has its own rules against it."

"If my older brother really wants to do this, it's not against the law. Even the emperor has a lot of wives and concubines! It doesn't make sense to use Ping'er as an example. It's just not reasonable!"
