She wanted to remain silent and avoid participating in the discussion, but Old Yang kept thinking about her.

"None of you speak! Let me ask Qing'er. Qing'er is well-informed and has many ideas. Let's see if Qing'er can help us figure this out."

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

As soon as Old Yang opened his mouth, he heaped praise upon Yang Ruqing, showering her with compliments to the point where she felt like she was wearing a hat that could reach the roof.

Yang Ruqing blushed.

"Grandpa, how could I possibly deserve such praise from you? You're not praising me at all, you're putting me on a pedestal! I feel so embarrassed!"

Yang Ruqing smiled wryly and said directly.

Old Yang also smiled and said, "Qing'er, Grandpa is speaking the truth. Don't say our Dalian won the top spot today,"

“In our old Yang family, you, Qing’er, are the greatest contributor. Without you, none of us would have made it big. Even Da’an, at his age, could only obediently work in the fields. There wouldn't even be a chance for him to be sent to Meng Xue.” The old man said.

Yang Ruqing twitched the corner of her mouth. Grandpa's words weren't entirely wrong.

Even if the younger brother is a genius in academics, having an older sister who needs help with everything from eating and drinking to using the restroom would not only prevent him from going to school but also turn her into a lifelong burden.

Thinking about it, I'm really the most "accomplished" person in Lao Yang's family.

However, Yang Ruohui dared not be complacent. Instead, she felt that she had become the nanny of the whole family.

“Grandpa, I can help you brainstorm for other matters, but when it comes to 菊儿 and 陈彪, I truly have no advice to offer.” she said.

"It's better to break up than to say a marriage is over. There's a saying, 'it's better to destroy ten temples than to break one marriage', it's harmful to your moral virtue."

"To say I won't withdraw is like what Aunt Four said before, this matter concerns the entire Fourth House and affects Juju for her whole life. I can't make any guarantees."

Yang Ruqing said, shaking her head and waving her hand, then sat back down, picked up the tea bowl in front of her and took a sip, putting on an air of disinterest.

Old Yang turned his head and asked Sun Shi, Yang Yongzhi, Zhao Liuer, and the others one by one.

They all stammered and went around in circles, saying a lot of things, but they were all pretty much the same as Yang Ruohqing's.

After asking around, nothing came out of it. Lao Yang was full of anxiety.

Yang Ruqing said: "Grandpa, I think you shouldn't ask anyone else about this. It's something that outsiders can't say."

Old Yang said, "So according to what you mean, it's the same as what your fourth uncle and aunt said, to take two taels of silver to break off the engagement with the Chen family?"

Yang Ruqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Chen Biao is the one Ju'er has her heart set on, and they really do suit each other."

In my opinion, whether or not to break off the engagement is a decision that shouldn't be made by parents.

"Our Yang family has always been reasonable and avoids being savage, arbitrary, and domineering. So, let's call 菊儿 over first and explain the situation to her. Let's hear what she has to say..."

"What do you want that dead girl for?" Liu shi interrupted Yang Ruoheng's words angrily.

“That dead girl, she hasn't even married Chen Biao yet, and her elbow has already turned to his side.”

"She's still young and doesn't understand, she can't make up her mind. Let us just take it, we guarantee we won't harm her!" Liu shi waved her hand and said.

Yang Ruqing said, "Jiu'er is not young anymore. She will be fourteen years old after the New Year."

"Besides, Ju'er is a resourceful person. She's bold, observant, and thinks deeply. Aunt Si, you don't know your own daughter!"

Liu insisted, still trying to defend herself, when Yang Huaming spoke up.

"All quiet down, San'er. You quickly run to the old house and call your second sister over. Tell her we have something important to ask her."

Little San'er, Yang Ruoxiang, was playing with Dabao and Mianmian on the side. Children don't understand what adults are talking about.

Anyway, she just likes to join in the fun. When she heard her father tell her to run an errand, San'ya immediately dashed out of the house.

In a short while, the three girls really called over Ju'er.

Seeing Yang Huaming and the others, Ju'er was instantly delighted and excitedly asked: "Father, you're back? What's wrong with Uncle Chen? Is it serious?"

Yang Huaming said, "Juer, come here. Let me tell you about your Uncle Chen's illness..."

Here's the translation, with HTML tags left intact: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Yang Huaming truthfully told Ju'er about Chen Biao's father's situation and the terrifying nature of hemophilia.

Finally, Yang Huaming directly stated his true purpose, "Juer, shall we not marry Chen Biao? From now on, your father will help you find a better one, how about that?"

Ju'er was still immersed in her grief over Chen Biao's father when she heard this, and she suddenly jumped up from the stool like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Father, what are you saying? Breaking off the engagement? Impossible!" Ju'er waved her hands directly.

>

Liu followed suit, standing up and sternly addressing Ju'er: "You dead girl, are you a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers? Do you know how terrible that illness is?"

>

"Didn't you ask me before why there was an empty courtyard behind your grandparent's house, and how come there was only a beggar woman living in it?"

“I told you back then, that family has had blood disease for three generations. Father to son, son to grandson, all the men died. The wives remarried, and only an old woman is left relying on begging to survive!”

You brought Chen Biao in here, do you want to become that beggar woman? Do you want white-haired people to send black-haired people off?

“As for this engagement, it’s over. You must break it off, whether you want to or not!”

Liu Shi displayed the courage and determination of a mother and head of household to the fullest.

At this moment, her speech was clear and articulate, her words spoken with precision. She was completely different from the usual Liu who gossiped about everything and everyone.

Ju'er stared blankly at Liu Shi, then, she opened her mouth and shouted: “I won’t retreat, I just won’t!”

"Chen Biao likes me, and I like him. Even if we die, I want to die with him!"

"What the heck, what's the big deal, I don't care!"

“Well, we can just choose not to have children. Besides, Uncle Chen is sick right now and Chen Biao needs help.”

"Are you still human to break off the engagement at this time?"

"Human nature?" Liu was so angry that her mouth was crooked.

She reached out and grabbed Juju's ear, "You little brat, if we weren't human, we would have finished you off here!"

"It's not for your own good for a lifetime, you ungrateful little bastard!"

Ju'er pushed Liu Shi away with one hand, not allowing her to touch her.

“I don’t care, I just won't break off the engagement with Chen Biao. Anyone who dares to break it off, I'll shave my head and become a nun, never looking at you all again!”

To show her determination, Ju'er's gaze swept across the main hall, as if searching for something.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she dashed towards that direction.

Sun's needlework basket was placed on a nearby table. Jiu'er ran over and pulled out a pair of scissors from it, holding them in her hand.

Then she tugged down a strand of her hair, lifted the scissors and snipped it up frantically.
