“One stroke cannot write two Yang characters. At this juncture, it's a test for our old Yang family—can we unite and work together to overcome this difficulty?”

After Lao Yang finished speaking, his gaze fell on Yang Huazhong.

“Your second older brother is in the county town. I'll have to send someone to call him back when we get there.”

"Out of all the brothers here, you're the oldest. Speak up!" the old man said.

Yang Huazhong raised his head, his face heavy: "Father, does this even need asking?"

“Even if I have to sell everything, including the kitchen sink, I will raise money to save my brother's life!” Yang Huazhong said.

Lao Yang's face was full of emotion as he looked at Yang Huazhong, nodding repeatedly.

Okay, okay...

"What's good?" Liu suddenly spoke.

What does "selling pots and pans to your older brother to pay for his medical treatment" mean?

“So are we just going to live like this?”

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

Mrs. Liu spoke loudly, no longer afraid of Old Yang's gaze at all.

>

"Father, we understand your desire to save your elder brother. As siblings, all we can do is try our best to raise the money."

"But look at my four children, Kangzi is still incomplete, and it will be difficult for him to marry a wife in the future."

We sold everything we had, Big Brother is alive, so we have to die too.

>

Moreover, Big Brother's illness is a terminal one. Even if the Emperor himself got it, he would have to die. We just want to express our condolences!

"What did you say? You stupid woman, what did you say?"

Old Yang jumped to his feet, so angry that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Everyone in the hall was frightened, but Liu shi remained fearless.

"I'd say it a hundred times over, Father. You've always protected your elder brother and the first wife."

This is a test.

“We, all of us, are free-range.”

"Right now, my older brother has that kind of illness. To put it bluntly, this is just fate."

“We should follow the will of heaven and not risk our own lives!”

Liu said, to the end, her own face flushed red, and Lao Yang's head's face was even more purple with anger.

“This, this...”

>

The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak properly. In the end, he slumped backward and stiffly fell onto the stool.

Gasping for breath.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou quickly rushed over, one persuading Lao Yangtou, the other patting Lao Yangtou's chest to help him regulate his breath.

There, Yang Huaming rushed to Liu's side, raised his hand, and slapped her hard across the face.

Liu was knocked to the ground and spun in a circle before collapsing on her bottom.

"Aww..."

Liu covered her face and cried loudly.

"I'm dead! I'm dead! Just kill me, please! If you don't kill me, your older brother will drag me to death!"

"Hit me, hit me, hit me to death,"

“Mom’s going to die…”

Yang Huaming was truly going to fight again, when he was stopped by Sun and Yang Yongxian.

"Fourth brother, please don't do this. It's late now, just stop causing trouble."

Sun Shi blocked Yang Huaming while telling Cao Baimei and Yang Ruohui: "You two, quickly take your Aunt Four to the backyard."

Cao Baimei and Yang Ruqing understood each other, and quickly pulled Liu Shi up and took her to the backyard.

Coming to the backyard, Liu was still crying and scolding.

>

It means, if you want to cure Yang Huai'an's illness, the fourth wife must sell everything she owns and spend every penny to save him. Otherwise, she will commit suicide by bumping her head against a wall.

>

Yang Ruqing sneered, pulling at the corner of her lips and addressing Liu Shi: "Fourth Aunt, I find you to be quite heartless!"

Liu's scolding stopped abruptly, she glared at Yang Ruohua: "This is called heartless?"

“So, how much money did you make? You’re not heartless, are you? You even took out all your savings to pay for your uncle’s medical bills?” Liu shi retorted.

Yang Ruqing shook her head.

What I said about being ruthless doesn't mean this.

"People say a husband and wife owe each other a hundred nights of kindness after one night together. You and your uncle, you've had more than just one night together! You even have a son!"

"You said my uncle is so sick there's nothing left to live for, are you this heartless?"

Hearing Yang Ruqing's sarcastic remarks, Liu shi was speechless for a moment, her face flushed red.

I don't know what you're talking about!

Liu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, refusing to address them and instead sitting under the corridor in the backyard.

Yang Ruqing glared at Liu shi and said to Cao Babao, “Let her stay alone in this courtyard. Babao, let’s go to the front and listen.”

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

Cao Babai hesitated, "Leaving Fourth Aunt alone here, won't anything happen?"

Yang Ruqing said, "Every house door is locked, it's very safe!"

Cao Baimei was completely exasperated.

She's not asking about this at all, you little sunshine!

On the ground, Liu shi heard this and became even angrier, almost jumping up.

“Qing’er, what are you saying? Are you accusing me of being a thief?”

Yang Ruqing said, "Don't yell at me like that! Haven't you stolen enough things from my house? Do you want me to list them all out for you?"

Mrs. Liu was so angry that her teeth were grinding.

But seeing Yang Ruqing who was already several inches taller than her, Liu shi wilted.

"Oh my goodness, why is life so hard for me? Everyone in the family, young and old, bullies me..."

She covered her face with a handkerchief and cried, then sat back down, comforting herself.

Yang Ruqing was too lazy to look at Liu again. She grabbed Cao Baimei's hand, and the two quickly walked back to the front courtyard.

In the front courtyard's main hall.

>

When Yang Ruqing turned back, Old Man Yang had already taken a breath.

Yang Yongjin stood with his head bowed before Lao Yangtou. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Grandpa, I still have twenty taels of silver saved up here."

"When my father is sick, it's only right that I, his son, should take care of him."

"Uncle, Aunt, and my younger sister and her husband all have their own families and lives to live."

They had the heart to help me out, and I'm grateful. They have their own hardships and can't afford to help, so there's nothing to complain about.

"Just as Aunt Four said, my father's illness... we send him to a bigger place for treatment, but it's just to ease our own conscience, feeling that we haven't given up and have tried to save him..."

As soon as Yang Yongjin finished speaking, Yang Yongxian standing beside him also stood up.

“As the elder brother, it is my duty to take care of father's illness.”

Yang Yongxian said.

"However, I am ashamed to say that over the years, I have been studying thanks to my family's support. I myself haven't saved a penny."

Here is the text translated into English: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“My father is ill, yet I am powerless to help. I rely on my second brother, and I feel deeply ashamed of my inability.”

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

“I have a suggestion, for this trip to treat our father's illness, the second brother can put in some money first.”

“And I'll keep a record of all the money that you kind uncles have lent me in my book.”

"When the private school opens, and I have some income, I'll share it equally with my second younger brother!"

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

"Grandpa, please grant me this!"

Finally, Yang Yongxian and Yang Yongjin brothers knelt down in front of Lao Yang together.

Old Yang nodded repeatedly, seeing the two grandsons so filial to Yang Hu an.

There was finally a hint of satisfaction in Lao Yang's eyes.

"Alright, alright, you two get up. Let's continue discussing the next steps."

Old Yang said.

Everyone sat down and began to discuss strategies for Yang Huai'an's treatment.

Lao Yangtou means that the medical clinics in town and the county are all closed these days.

But Yang Hu'an's illness couldn't wait.

“Qing'er, I hear you have a good relationship with Wang, the head of Huichuntang in the county town.”
