He cast another glance around, tears streaming down his face.

"Father, don't cry, you'll be alright. As long as your son is here, I'll sell everything we have to cure your illness!"

Seeing his father cry, Chen Biao also cried and picked up a handkerchief to quickly wipe the tears from the man's face.

Chen Biao's father squeezed out a smile and said to Chen Biao, "Dad is not afraid, you are a man, why cry? Quickly hold back your tears!"

Chen Biao wanted to hold it in, but the tears just wouldn't stop coming. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A man may cry, but he does not weep easily; it is only when he reaches the point of heartbreak.

Then Chen Biao's father asked him, "Where is your mother and brother?"

>

Then Chen Biao said, "Mother stayed at home to look after things, and I don't know where my brother has gone."

Chen Biao's father's face darkened several degrees, "That bastard, does he really want me dead before he calms down?"

“Father, you just woke up, don't talk too much, I'm afraid you'll tire yourself out,” Chen Biao said.

>

“My brother, he’s just playing around. Uncle went to find him; I believe he’ll be back soon.” Chen Biao added.

Chen Biao's father sighed and wanted to say something more, but Luo Fengtang arrived with the doctor.

Yang Ruqing and Chen Biao quickly retreated to the side, allowing the doctor to examine Chen Biao's father.

During the examination, Chen Biao's father, who had claimed to be fearless earlier, kept nervously watching the doctor's face.

Chen Biao himself was the same way. In the eyes of both father and son, this doctor was now their only lifeline.

This should not be translated. Please note: The text "<<<<<">

After the doctor's examination, Chen Biao's father eagerly asked, "Doctor, how is my condition? Can it be cured?"

The doctor also glanced at Chen Biao's father, wanting to speak but holding back.

>

Chen Biao's father said: "Doctor, just tell me the truth. I can hear anything, I'm not afraid, really, I'm not afraid at all!"

His voice trembled slightly.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "You are very weak now, and your condition... it's not something I can explain in just a few words."

"You should rest up first. I'll explain the situation to your son, and he can relay it back to you."

The doctor, Dr. Chen Biao, gave a wink to his colleague and led the way out of the ward.

Chen Biao glanced at Chen Biao's father lying on the bed and said, "Father, since the doctor can still talk to me, it means he's fine. You should rest well, I'll be back in a while!"

As Chen Biao passed by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, he again looked at Yang Ruoqing with pleading eyes: "Miss Dongjia, I'll be away for a moment..."

"Go on, your father is being looked after here by me and Tang YaZi!" Yang Ruqing waved her hand dismissively.

Chen Biao nodded gratefully and then quickly ran out of the ward.

In the ward, Chen Biao's father let out a sigh and muttered to himself: "Hiding it from me? Hey, don't I know my own body? This is it then."

Yang Ruqing and Luofengtang looked at each other when they heard this.

Then, Yang Ruqing said: "Uncle Chen, don't overthink it. Illness comes from the heart, so first of all, you should open your mind!"

Chen Biao's father raised his eyes to look at Yang Ruohua and Lu Fengtang standing by the bed, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Dongjia, you don't have to comfort me. To be honest, I know what disease I have."

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Chen Biao said, "What else could it be? Blood disease!"

Yang Ruqing took a deep, cool breath and tried to maintain her composure, saying, "Uncle Chen, don't overthink it..."

“This isn't just wishful thinking, it’s a hereditary illness in my family,” Chen Biao’s father said.

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

"My grandfather, my father, both of them died from this disease. They didn't even live to be fifty."

“Oh, that year a fortune teller came. He said that one of our ancestors had done evil and would be repaid by three generations of our family!”

"By now, I'm considered third generation here. I'm not afraid, really not afraid,"

“Because I got this illness, shouldn't the curse be lifted from me? Then Chen Biao and his brothers should be fine, right?”

Chen Biao stared blankly at Yang Ruohua and Luo Fengtang, hoping they would give him an answer.

Yang Ruqing said, "Uncle Chen, you are such a kindhearted person. Good people will be rewarded!"

By this point, Yang Ruqing was inwardly shocked as well. This blood disease was truly domineering, afflicting three generations in a row.

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

Even if it's leukemia, the probability of developing the disease is only significantly higher among close relatives compared to the general population.

And this blood disease, three generations have all suffered from it. Is it a genetic defect? Or is it really a curse?

Or could it be a problem with water, soil, or diet?

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

... Or is it just a coincidence?

No one knows for sure!

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

Only knowing that the Chen brothers might also have something like this happen to them.

>

On the bed, Chen Biao's father continued speaking.

"My lady, once this illness of mine takes hold, there's no saving me. When I leave, it will be in a month or two at most!" he said.

"That's just life, it's God's arrangement. There's nothing I can do about it, and no one else can either."

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

"Chen Biao isn't here right now. I have a few things I'd like to say to the two of you privately..."

“Uncle Chen, just say what you have to say.” Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruqing listened silently to Chen Biao's father's words.

Before someone who understands everything, words of comfort are deceitful.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to be a quiet listener, or say something useful.

“Uncle Chen, is there anything we can do to help your family? Please just tell us.” Yang Ruqing also spoke up.

Chen Biao's father was filled with gratitude.

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

"The young mistress of this house is truly a kind person. A kind person will surely be rewarded." he said.

How's it going?

Yang Ruqing wryly smiled, wishing all her blessings could be exchanged for Chen'er's return, the reunion of flesh and blood!

Chen Biao's father coughed lightly a few times, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Fengtang hurriedly went over to help him wipe it off. Chen Biao's father continued, "I have two sons. Chen Biao's older brother is a scoundrel. He's almost twenty years old and spends his days messing around outside. I don't intend to care about him, nor can I."

In the future, I won't expect Chen Biao's mother to support me.

>

"My dear madam, my son Chen Biao is truly a good boy. He's a man, but he's even more caring than a daughter."

When he was at home, his mother cooked while he helped put in the firewood. He tidied up inside and out of the house, always quick with his hands and feet.

Here's the translation:

"With the illness I have now, if my guess is correct, your fourth uncle might want to call off the engagement."

“If they really broke off the engagement, I wouldn't blame them. Put yourself in my shoes, if it were my daughter, I wouldn't want her to marry into a family with such problems either! What do you think?” he asked.

Yang Ruqing smiled awkwardly.

I thought to myself, this Chen Biao's father is really smart. He can think of anything.

“It’s just that when the two families agreed to the betrothal, you didn't mention this situation, there was a bit of concealment involved. That's why my fourth uncle's family is a little upset. You also have to understand…” she said.

Chen Biao's father wore a look of shame on his face.

“This is my fault. I was trying to get lucky, just like my grandfather got lucky marrying my grandmother, my father got lucky marrying my mother, and I got lucky marrying Chen Biao's wife...”

Yang Ruqing said: "But you, all of you who are lucky, have come back with three middle-aged widows and elderly mothers who have lost their sons..."
