For someone who loves the buzz and gossip, this is truly unprecedented.

Yang Huaming's angry shouts startled everyone: "This unlucky woman, a jealous shrew, on such a good day she has to utter these demoralizing words!"

"Alright, guys, don't take it to heart. I'm going over there and give her a few slaps to shut her up for spreading lies and trying to cause trouble!"

Yang Huaming cursed and grumbled, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go next door to the West House to settle accounts with Liu Shi, but he was stopped by someone.

That person was Yang Ruqing, among the younger generation.

"Fourth Uncle, forget it," she said.

Yang Huaming was furious and shouted, "It's not fair! She's a shrew, deliberately causing trouble, just like a stick stirring up shit. If you don't beat her every few days, she won't know pain. Whatever nonsense comes out of her mouth!"

Yang Ruqing glanced at the head of the family, Lao Yangtou, from the corner of her eye. She saw that Lao Yangtou was staring down and smoking a dry cigarette.

His face was a bit gloomy. He didn't reprimand Liu Shi for her words from beginning to end, but Lao Yang Tou didn't intend to stop Yang Huaming from going to discipline the 'talkative' Liu Shi.

As for the others, they each had different expressions and thoughts. Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Yang Ruqing withdrew her gaze, her indifferent eyes falling on Yang Huaming, whose body still radiated anger.

Although it's not uncommon for people in this world to have three or four wives, in our village and the surrounding ones, everyone except someone like Li Cai Zhu from Li Jia Cun who had a lot of wives, has always lived by the rule of one husband, one wife, and two people.

“Although Auntie Four's words were somewhat emotionally charged, she wasn't entirely without reason.”

“At least this first step, in our old Yang family, in our Changping village, it was indeed you, Fourth Uncle, who started it.”

She said calmly, her voice as indifferent as her eyes.

Yang Huaming was stunned for a moment, momentarily unsure of Yang Ruqing's attitude.

Yang Ruqing glanced again at Yang Yongxian, who was sitting dejectedly at the back of the crowd. Then she continued, “Brother Dantang, now that things have come to this, there is no other way.”

But, as for me personally, I share the same view as Aunt Four. This kind of atmosphere is not desirable!

Yang Yongxian bowed his head even lower, his profile ashen.

While Cao Bajie and Zhao Liuer were both secretly looking at the man sitting beside them.

Both sisters-in-law had the same worry and nervousness in their eyes.

But Zhao Liuer raised her hand and gently caressed her already prominent belly, gaining a few more points of confidence.

In contrast, Cao Baimei, who had a flat abdomen and had been quiet since giving birth to two daughters, was even more worried.

Yang Yongjin felt Cao Baimei's worry, he directly stood up and straightened his chest, "I, Yang Yongjin, swear in front of all you elders today that even if Baimei doesn't give me a son, I would rather have my daughter Xiu Xiu get married than take another wife like Uncle Four did just to have a son. I swear on heaven!"

Seeing Yang Yongjin stand up and swear, Cao Baimei was deeply moved. She quickly got up to follow suit.

“Yǒngjìn, bié, bié zhèyàng…” She whispered, her timid gaze darting nervously towards Lao Yangtou and Tán Shì before quickly looking away. She gently tugged at Yáng Yǒngjìn’s sleeve, trying to get him to sit down.

Yang Yongjin turned to face Cao Baimei, looking at her seriously and sternly: "I, Yang Yongjin, may not be very capable, but I'm a man. My word is my bond."

I'm laying it all out here today, so everyone bear witness! If I break this vow, then let me...

Yang Yongjin's vow behind him was unable to be uttered, because Cao Baimei had already tiptoed and covered his mouth with her hand.

Over there at the main house, Lao Yang finally spoke up: "Alright, alright, nobody here is forcing you to take a concubine. You two can settle your own affairs and don't need to swear oaths here!"

Yang Huazhong also said: "Everyone has their own bottom line and principles when doing things. Yongjin, you are a good person. Your third uncle admires you. Come and sit down with your Eighth Sister!"

Sun smiled and said, "You two are still young, you have plenty of time to have children. Eighth Sister, listen, sit down."

Cao Baimei smiled gratefully at Sun Shi, then pulled Yang Yongjin back to sit down.

Here, Lao Yang shifted his gaze from Yang Yongjin and his wife to Yang Huaming and Yang Ruqing who were at a stalemate at the doorway.

"All of you, please sit down. Let's continue the discussion..." he said.

This is a roundabout way of telling Yang Huaming not to go to Xiwu and cause trouble for Liu.

Yang Huaming quickly sat back down, Yang Ruqing came to Mrs. Sun's side and stood quietly listening to them talk about things.

What followed was old Yang's detailed explanation of the wedding arrangements to everyone.

“Our Yang family isn’t the first time getting married, everyone knows how to handle a happy occasion like this.” The old man continued.

"But this Liao girl knows her place, and she's been wronged this time. Our Yang family must compensate her."

"As for this marriage, I've given it some thought. It has to be grander than any wedding we've ever had before," the old man said.

"How do you plan to make this grand?" asked Tan, looking wary.

“According to the customs here, four to six taels of silver is enough for a marriage. Yongxian has already sent over the six taels for the wedding, what else do you want?” Tan Shi asked again.

Lao Yangtou said: "I was still planning to send another two taels of silver to the Liao family, and in terms of the dishes at the banquet, I would add from the original sixteen dishes per table to twenty-two dishes per table."

Tan's lips twitched, which was a sign of heartache.

“You can make amends to the Liao family, I don't object, but I won't contribute any money. My wife and I are running low on savings.” Tan directly stated.

Yang Yongxian quickly raised his head and said in a hurry, "Mother, I couldn't possibly ask you and Grandpa to pay for me! You can rest assured, two taels of silver, I can still afford it."

"Master is right, this matter, it's me who owes Miss Liao in the first place. Let alone two ounces of silver, even if it were twenty ounces, I'd tighten my belt or borrow from elsewhere, I'd be happy to!"

“Twenty taels of silver to marry a wife? You think you're marrying a princess!” Mrs. Tan scoffed directly.

Yang Yongzhi smiled and said, "Mother, with twenty taels of silver, don't even dream of marrying a princess. You wouldn't even be able to afford one of the princess' embroidered shoes!"

“Only you, you know everything!” Tan spat at Yang Yongzhi.

Yang Yongzhi grinned with a sly smile.

The oppressive atmosphere in the room was slightly alleviated by Yang Yongzhi's laughter.

Yang Huazhong said, "Father, this banquet needs more dishes, and some silver taels. These things are actually easy to handle. Right now, there's one thing that hasn't been settled yet!"

"What's the matter? Lao San, tell me." Old Yang asked.

Besides the blind Tan, all eyes in the room were focused on Yang Huazhong.
