Chapter 2223: Awakening
eft everyone stunned on the spot.One by one, they gaped in astonishment as a man and a bear engaged in a desperate fight.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.Qing...Hearing that Yang Yongzhi had still left Chen Jinhong two taels of silver, Zhao Liuer's face flashed with a trace of melancholy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yang Yongzhi hadn't noticed, but Yang Ruqing hadn't missed it.
"Third brother, two taels of silver isn't a small sum, you know. Take your wedding for example, relatives and friends gave gifts of sixty to eighty copper coins each." Yang Ruqing said.
“This is considered very high standard in our countryside. Besides this, ordinary villagers who can earn twenty or forty copper coins already do quite well.”
"You just gave Chen Jinhong two ounces of silver and walked away. What were you thinking Could it be that you still haven't let go of her"
In front of Zhao Liuer, Yang Ruqing directly asked the questions that Zhao Liuer wanted to ask but was afraid to ask.
Zhao Liuer pretended to return to the washstand and twist a handkerchief, but her ears were perked up high, clearly waiting for Yang Yongzhi's reply.
Yang Yongzhi, hearing Yang Ruoheng's question, subconsciously glanced at Zhao Liuer.
Then, he quickly shook his head. "No, I'm not letting go of her. Ever since she did that thing, I've completely lost faith in her."
"Since your heart has turned cold, why are you still giving her so much money" Yang Ruqing asked again.

Yang Yongzhi said, "I am now married and have a job at the tavern. I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"I can't give Chen Jinhong anything else she wants. I can only help her out a little bit with money."
After all, she's Hon'er's mother, and she doesn't do any work. She can't just watch her starve to death... he said.
Yang Ruqing secretly shook her head at his words.
To be frank, two taels of silver, for your sake, Big Brother, is quite a sizable sum, isn't it" Yang Ruqing continued.
"You spent all your savings from the past six months in the county on this wedding, didn't you And now New Year is coming up, and you'll have to spend more money."
Besides, you still owe your second brother twenty taels of silver that you borrowed when you opened your carpentry shop in the county.
"Twenty taels of silver, opening a shop also cost fifteen or sixteen taels, the remaining few taels of silver, in the end were all given to Chen Jinhong."
"Third Brother, the amount of silver you've spent on Chen Jinhong has far exceeded your capacity,"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
You owe her nothing, she owes you. She doesn't work, so what
"She is an adult and should have the awareness to support herself."
"Just because you left her, do you have to pay for all her food, clothing and shelter for the rest of her life"
"There is no such reason!"
And now that Liu'er has entered the door, she is your wife. In the future, you will have children, raise them, build a house, and support your grandmother and aunt...
Unless your brother has a fortune, you shouldn't force yourself to feel guilty and bear the burden of Chen Jinhong's life for the rest of her days. That's being too kind for your own good.

“I don’t know what Liu’er is thinking. Anyway, if this happened to me, I absolutely wouldn’t tolerate it!” Yang Ruoqing said at last.
This wasn't beating around the bush, it was straight to the point, like a hammer blow after another, striking Yang Yongzhi's heart repeatedly.
Yang Yongzhi was stunned. He stopped arguing and hung his head.
On the washstand side, Zhao Liuer looked at Yang Ruohqing with a grateful face.
The corners of her lips curled into a gentle smile. "Qing'er, you are truly a good sister-in-law," she murmured. "You've said everything that was on my mind as the new wife."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Zhao Liuer was so grateful that she couldn't contain herself, her eyes immediately falling on Yang Yongzhi.
"Yongzhi ge, if you really can't let go of Jin Hong jie, then you should just bring her back. We can be equals and take care of this home together." Zhao Liuer said.
This remark shocked both Yang Ruohua and Yang Yongzhi at the same time.
Yang Ruqing looked up at Zhao Liuer, just about to scold her for saying such foolish words.
Chen Jinhong entered the door, are you Zhao Liuer still living a good life
Upon catching Zhao Liu'er's gaze, Yang Ruqing instantly understood.
Liu'er did this on purpose. This move is called "retreating to advance."
To go along with Zhao Liuer, Yang Ruqing also sighed and said, "Oh, it's rare for Liuer to be so generous. Third Brother, consider it. Instead of constantly sending money out and running back and forth, it's better to bring her back."
Yang Yongzhi's brows were tightly furrowed.
“You two, stop going back and forth. Chen Jinhong and I are absolutely impossible to get back together,” he said.
Then, he raised his eyes to Zhao Liuer beside the washstand and said, "I, Yang Yongzhi, am just an ordinary, simple man from a farming family. I don't have the ability or the ambition."
"A wife, a brood of children, and a warm kang (heating bed), that's all I need to be content."
"Two taels of silver, that's all for this time. From now on, I won't be associating with Chen Jinhong anymore. Goodbye, and from then on, we'll be strangers."
“That’s all there is to it. It’s getting late. Qing’er, Third Brother will send you back to rest.” Yang Yongzhi stood up and got out of the hot water tub.
Yang Ruqing and Zhao Liuer both let out a simultaneous sigh of relief. The two looked at each other, and Yang Ruqing smiled faintly.
"Third brother, you really don't need to leave. Just stay and keep good company with your third sister-in-law," she said.
Zhao Liuer glanced at the night outside the window and said to Yang Ruqing, "Just let your third brother send you down. It's dark out there, and we don't feel comfortable with you, a woman, going alone..."
Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "It's only a few hours before dawn. Before sunrise, you should hurry up and consummate your marriage. Don't delay the beautiful scenery for me!"

Zhao Liuer and Yang Yongzhi both turned red with anger, but Yang Ruoqing took advantage of the situation to bid them farewell, turning around and running out of the room like a gust of wind.
By the time Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer caught up, she was already gone.

“Qing’er, why are you running so fast You're even faster than a rabbit!” Zhao Liuer exclaimed in surprise.
Yang Yongzhi said: "My girl, she's pretty capable. Taught by Tang Yazi, she should be fine going back alone."
Zhao Liu'er nodded.

Outside, the north wind grew stronger and stronger. This was the time of the Three Nine days, when even wearing clothes one had to tuck in their hands.
Especially staying inside all the time, once she came out, she really couldn't take it. Zhao Liuer couldn't help but lightly clench her teeth.
Here is the translated text:

Yang Yongzhi said, "Let's go back to the house and rest."
"Hmm!"
Zhao Liuer nodded, then turned and followed Yang Yongzhi back into the room.
Back in the room, Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer closed the door and suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Finally, Zhao Liuer was the first to break the awkward silence, "Well then, Yongzhi ge, I'll wash your feet for you."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Sitting on the bench, watching Zhao Liuer squatting on the ground in front of him, diligently washing his feet, Yang Yongzhi felt a surge of indescribable shock and happiness.
Before, he would always squat like this to help Chen Jinhong wash her feet...oday, old Yang is putting it plainly here. Our Yang family has not done anything wrong to you, Li Xiu Xin,”“Last time we specifically sent silver over, you tore the bills to shreds in front of all of...
