"Daddy!"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! I can handle more than just single sentences.

Suddenly, Liu's voice rang out from the corner of the room. Everyone turned their heads to look, only then realizing that Liu had arrived at some point.

What was surprising was that Liu, who usually loved to talk and often interrupted others, actually listened patiently to everyone’s statements before finally speaking up.

This is even more surprising than the sun rising in the west.

Yang Huaming also saw Liu Shi, "What's wrong?"

He asked, and at that moment Liu came over from the corner of the room and sat down on the stool beside him.

“Father, it's best to call off the marriage between Ju’er and Chen Biao. Blood disease is hereditary. Since Chen Biao's father has it, who knows if he might have it too in the future!”

"If it happens when he's thirty-four, with aging parents and children to care for, wouldn't that ruin our little 菊儿?"

>

Liu spread her hands and said,

Yang Huaming heard this, also full of astonishment, followed by entanglement.

“No way? I think Chen Biao’s kid… he’s quite sturdy these days…” Yang Huaming said.

Liu shot Yang Huaming's arm, "What? That Chen Biao's father, didn't you see him a couple of days ago, he was pretty strong too, wasn't he?"

“Besides, she wasn't sick before. She was always doing hard labor at the dock in the county town. Once she got sick, it wasn't like she could just lie down and stay there," Liu said.

>

Yang Huaming stroked his chin, "Hearing you say it this way, it seems...there might actually be a bit of truth to it..."

“If this disease is truly hereditary, then when Chen Biao falls ill, Juer will have to become a widow.”

"As for the two of us old folks, we originally wanted to take in a son-in-law to serve us until our dying days. We don't want to end up being a burden on our children at the end. That wouldn't do!" he said.

Yang Huazhou said, “Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, I don’t like hearing you say this.”

“Just when Chen Biao’s father had just passed away, you guys are already tearing down the stage here.”

“Poor Chen Biao, he's about to be orphaned. His wife is also going to disappear. You guys... this isn't..."

"It's nothing, is it?" Liu turned to Yang Huazhou with wide eyes.

>

"Is blood disease a joke? This hereditary illness is truly fatal, it's a pit of fire! How could I let Ju-er jump into it?"

"This is not a question of jumping into or out of a fire pit," Yang Huazhou said.

In short, well, in short, I just think you guys handled this divorce thing really unfairly! said Yang Huazhou.

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

Liu scoffed, "If it were your precious little ones in place of Juju today, I guarantee you'd retreat even faster than me!"

>In our village and the neighboring villages, anyone who got blood disease died for two or three generations.

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

"Even if Chen Biao doesn't have hemophilia, what if his son with Ju'er inherits the disease through generations in the future? What will we do then?"

"You, Lao Wu, are just talking without considering the consequences! With a single "unfair," you want all of us in the Fourth House to bear the risk for generations? If you truly feel sorry for Chen Biao losing his wife, why don't you arrange a betrothal between your son, Mian Mian, and Chen Biao? After all, it's not unusual for a boy to be eight or nine years older than his sister. Let Chen Biao wait a few years before getting married!"

Liu's words put Yang Huazhou on the spot.

Yang Huazhou was speechless, yet he was also so angry that his face flushed.

Bao Suyun also had a displeased look on her face, "Fourth sister-in-law, let's talk about the matter at hand. Don't involve my daughter Mianmian, she is still a child and has nothing to do with Chen Biao."

Liu snorted, “It was your fifth son who started this. If you're upset, go find him!”

Bao Suyun was also angry and looked to Yang Huazhou for help.

Yang Huazhou was about to get up when Lao Yang stopped him.

"What time is it? You're still arguing? Do you just like to argue? Can you argue your way to a name for yourselves? Shut up!"

Everybody fell silent for a moment.

After she fell silent for a moment, Liu shi spoke again.

"Father, this matter concerns our daughter's entire life, and also the future generations. I don't want there to be a case of blood disease in our Yang family's descendants. When that happens, we're finished!"

Liu's words struck Lao Yang's heart directly.

What the old man is most worried about is this.

He took a puff of his dry tobacco and said, "Our Yang family men are all strong and healthy. We don't have any of those wicked diseases."

“For the health of future generations of the Yang family, our Yang family's descendants must choose a healthy wife when getting married.”

"When Ju'er was looking for a husband, she naturally wanted to choose someone who was strong and healthy."

In that regard, Lao Si and his wife's concerns are also understandable. Old Yang said.

Yang Huazhou couldn't help but speak up: "Father, I'm not trying to push my niece into a fire pit. She is my niece, what have I done wrong?"

"I just feel that the Chen family is in disarray right now. Even if Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law want to break off the engagement, they should wait a while before saying anything."

“To say that now would be adding insult to injury!” he said.

Old Yang looked at Yang Huaizhou again and nodded. " Lao Wu's words are also reasonable. Our Yang family has survived in this world, and our family motto has always been to be upright and honest, and to do things openly and aboveboard. We cannot give others a handle to criticize us and say that we are bullying the weak."

“Father, is it more important what other people think of us or our own lives and safety?” Liu's voice was trembling with urgency and tears.

“Since this kind of private matter can't work out, it's not a matter of procrastination. It's better to break up sooner than later, and it's better to have a short pain than a long one. Let's make it clear as soon as possible so that the Chen family won't hold any expectations.”

Old Yang looked at Liu Shi, "Then what do you mean? Just say it!"

Liu said, "I will go to town tomorrow and speak to Chen Biao's mother. I will tell them to stop associating with us from now on!"

Yang Huaming said: "If you say it so directly, people will definitely find it harder to accept. It's indeed adding fuel to the fire."

"Why don't you take two taels of silver with you when the time comes? Just consider it a little thought from us, as a gift to Old Chen's family."

Liu opened her eyes wide, "What? Two taels? Are you burning money?! Two taels of silver is enough for our mother and several months' worth of food and expenses. To just give it away..."

"Shut up!" Yang Huaming directly snapped at Liu.

He glanced again at the pairs of eyes in the room, then scolded Liu Shi: "You woman, what do you know? Just do what I tell you, and say nothing else!"

Yang Huaming winked secretly at Mrs. Liu of the Ming Dynasty. Mrs. Liu looked dazed, as if she had received some inspiration, and closed her mouth.

Everyone else in the room wasn't stupid; hearing what this couple said, they all understood what they were thinking.

But no one condemned them as they used to, not even Yang Ruqing spoke up.

Why is that?

Because of this matter, it's really hard to say.

In modern times, a premarital checkup is also required before marriage. If one party has a family history of genetic diseases, marriage is generally not recommended.

Because a child born this way is very likely unhealthy. Not only would the child suffer, but it would also burden several families, causing everyone to live in misery and despair.

So, regarding the matter of Ju'er and Chen Biao, Yang Ruoqing chose to remain silent.
