Old Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Since we're in front of Yongzhi, I won't beat around the bush. It's better for him to hear these things directly anyway, so I don't have to repeat myself."

“I was thinking, if Miss Liu recovers, for Yongzhi to have her as his wife wouldn't be bad at all!”

"Grandpa..."

Yang Yongzhi got anxious again and shouted.

Lao Yang stopped him with a raised hand, “Major life decisions like marriage are best made after listening to the elders.”

"Last time, you got into a fight with Chen Jinhong because you didn't listen to our elders. You hid at your master's place and secretly got married."

“Look at this, what good results does it have?” Old Yangtou asked.

>

Yang Yongzhi was speechless, his head drooping.

Old Yang withdrew his gaze and continued to Tan, "On the way back, I also had a private conversation with the Fourth Brother and Jin."

“They all think this willow branch suits our Yongzhi quite well.”

"Dayu's family is a bit poorer, not much. I think Dayu is also hardworking and can endure hardship,"

“From talking to him, I could tell he was a good person. It's okay if he's poor, as long as he doesn't slack off, he'll eventually find something to eat.”

"And judging by how he protects Liu'er, I doubt his family will be like Bao Suyun's, demanding favors and causing trouble."

“The key is this Liu’er, she looks virtuous and sensible. I just fell for her because she seems like a good candidate to be my granddaughter-in-law!”

After hearing Lao Yang's words, Tan Shi fell into thought.

“This won’t do. You're just taking advantage of my blindness, pretending not to see anyone. You've been praising that girl named Liu’er to the skies.” she said.

"No matter what, any daughter-in-law of the Yang family has to pass my test." said Tan.

"Well, let's wait until she gets better. Didn't she say she wanted to come over and apologize in person? Then I'll hear her speak for myself and know if she's faking it or really means it!" she said.

Yang Ruqing laughed when she heard this.

"Milk, come on," she said.

“Chen Jinhong just came to Lao Yang’s place not long ago, didn't he take a clear picture of you?”

>

“As soon as she came in, she gave birth to Hong’er. During that time, you and my grandpa, we both doted on her so much, treating her almost like the best daughter-in-law in Changping Village!” Yang Ruqing said.

Only Yang Ruqing dared to say this, and she said it in front of Tan Shi and Old Yang.

This didn't go as planned. As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone's faces changed color. Old Yang's face turned bright red, and Mrs. Tan also looked embarrassed.

"Qing'er, you little brat, why do you always stir up trouble?" She spat in Yang Ruqing's direction.

"A person may stumble, and a horse may lose its footing."

"No, it's because Chen Jinhong misjudged this situation. Because of that, I have to be even more careful with this Liu'er!"

"Your third brother has already been harmed by a woman once, and you can't let a second woman harm him again! I won't agree to that!" she said.

Yang Ruqing smiled and nodded: "Good, good, you have to keep an eye on this, that's right,"

“The master wants to match my third brother with Liu’er, this is also the master’s careful consideration.”

"Well, we've all said our pieces now. Shouldn't it be time for the person involved, my third brother, to say a few words?" she said.

Yang Yongzhi gratefully glanced at Yang Ruoheng, thinking to himself that his cousin was still so understanding. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but no one let him!

Lao Yangtou said, “Well, Zhizi, you say a few words. After all, you two are under the same quilt. You tell me what you think!”

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

One quilt covered them both...

Yang Yongzhi's face immediately flushed.

But he still took a deep breath, lifted his head, and said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Fourth Uncle, Second Brother..."

"I know you are doing this for my own good. You don't want to see me remain a bachelor, and you don't want to see Hong'er without a mother to care for her."

“But, I don’t want to find a wife right now. I want to live alone first. I think being alone is pretty good…”

"What do you mean?" Old Yang interrupted Yang Yongzhi's words. "Don't tell me you're planning to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

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

"As for Liu'er, you wouldn't look down on her as a young lady, would you?" Old Yang asked again.

Yang Yongzhi quickly shook his head, "No, no, no..."

“Aren’t you? Then you must have fallen for the girl. Since you have, why not just marry her? Isn't that a simple thing to do!” Old Yang said.

Yang Yongzhi said, "Grandfather, I didn't mean it that way,"

“I said, I’m not a bachelor for life, I just don’t have plans to remarry at the moment.”

Besides, Liu'er is a good girl, still a virgin. I feel unworthy of her. I even have a child... Yang Yongzhi said.

>

And Chen Jinhong's side...

Yang Yongzhi dared not continue, standing there with a complex expression.

Yang Ruqing glanced at his expression and guessed what it meant.

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

"Third Brother, could your concerns be because of Chen Jinhong?" Yang Ruqing asked directly.

Yang Yongzhi's eyes flashed with panic, which only strengthened Yang Ruqing's suspicions.

He's still thinking about Chen Jin Hong, isn't he? Could it be that San Ge still has feelings for her? Or maybe he just can't forget her?

That absolutely won't do!

"Third brother, if you're doing this because of Chen Jinhong, then you and Liu'er's business, you better get it done quickly!" Yang Ruqing said.

Over there, Lao Yangtou and the others also heard the hint in her words.

Even Tan, who had been hesitant about Liu'er before, spoke up directly.

Any random woman off the street would be ten thousand times better than Chen Jinhong.

“That's settled then.”

"Young Jin, go prepare some things. Besides rice, grain, fish and meat, get some other gifts as well. Send them all to Liu'er's house."

“Make that Liu’er recover quickly, then arrange the wedding. We mustn't let Chen Jinhong take advantage of the situation!” said Tan Shi.

"Hey, by the way, where is Chen Jinhong now?" Tan suddenly asked.

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the room, except Yang Yongzhi, was a little flustered.

Lao Yangtou and Yang Huaming exchanged a meaningful glance. Yang Ruoqing also frowned subtly.

>

Tan did not know about Chen Jinhong and Zhou's departure from Wanghai County.

It was Lao Yang and his buddies who were worried that Chen Jin Hong and Zhou would be entertaining guests at the brothel. What if they ran into someone they knew and exposed Lao Yang's family, bringing shame upon them?

So, he pleaded with Yang Ruqing and quietly took the two of them away.

As for this matter, Tan Shi didn't know, Liu Shi didn't know, and naturally, Yang Yongzhi here was also keeping it a secret.

Now Tan has directly asked the question.

Although Yang Yongzhi didn't ask, his erect ears and nervous expression clearly showed he was also listening for news of Chen Jinhong's whereabouts.

Upon seeing this, Yang Ruqing hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

>“Who knows where she is? Third Brother came to the wine shop and made a scene the day he left, and then he never came back.” she said.
