ike me to translate!Upon seeing this, Zhuiyun finally loosened its wolf fangs from her pant leg.Yet Yang Ruqing was delighted.She bent down and rubbed Chasing Cloud's massive head fiercely."Little ras...Old Yang thought for a moment but couldn't figure out what it was.

Yang Huaming poked his head in, "Father, Brother Chen is going to take the pigs away. Aren't you guys coming out to see him off"

Old Yang was startled, suddenly feeling both anxious and flustered.

This pig can't be allowed to be taken away!

“Chen’s nephew, wait a moment…”

Old Yang rushed out and stopped Chen the butcher.

“Uncle Yang, is there anything else”

Chen, the butcher, asked with a smile that strained his cheeks, looking anything but friendly.

Old Yang gritted his teeth and thought, "I won't sell this pig today."

Just then, someone came over from that side and called out to Butcher Chen.

"Mr. Chen the butcher, I heard you came to collect pigs, coincidentally my pigpen also has a pig wanting to sell. Come and take a look and give me an estimate, how about that"

The visitor was the son of Old Wang, their neighbor.

Hearing that there was another customer to serve, Butcher Chen pulled his cart over.

"Alright, let me take a look with you."

Here is the translation of your provided text:

Chen the butcher followed the Wang family's departure. In front of the main gate of the Lao Yang residence, Old Yang Head called Yang Huainan, Yang Huaming, and Yang Huazhou into the main hall.

Tan hurriedly stood at the door, keeping an eye on the Wang family's side, giving Lao Yang and the others a heads-up.

“This pig can’t be sold today!”

In the main room, Lao Yang immediately began.

Everybody was taken aback.

"Dad, what's wrong" Yang Huazhou was the first to ask.

This money from selling the pig is for him to marry a wife!

“Father, it's nine cash per catty, we made a profit, why did things change”

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

Yang Huaming also became anxious and pursued the question.

Besides, not to mention that we could eat pig's blood today. The pigs are sold and now we have money. We can use it to buy a good dowry for the fifth brother's wedding. Mother will definitely ask me to run errands for this.

Well, this errand-running job is pretty good. It brings in a few extra bucks, and Mom just turns a blind eye.

Yang Huazhou asked, a flicker of guilt flashed in Lao Yangtou's eyes.

Yang Huaming's question immediately made Lao Yang furious.

"Have you the nerve to ask You're nothing but a troublemaker!" Old Yang said angrily.

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

"What's wrong with her" Yang Huaming was puzzled.

Old Yang, in just a few words, told everyone about Liu's self-conceited actions.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yang Huaming was so angry that his facial muscles tensed up.

“That dead bitch, her brain is dumber than a pig, only doing things that hold me back! I'll kick her to death!”

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

Yang Huaming turned around to go to the backyard to find trouble with Liu Shi, but he was pulled back by Yang Huzhou.

"Fourth brother, the most urgent thing is that even if you beat your fourth sister-in-law to death, it won't do any good. Let's just figure out how to cover this up!"

Yang Huazhou said in a low voice.

This is a continuation of the previous response.

Yang Huaming frowned, his face gloomy, and stood silently aside.

Yang Huainan also pursed his lips and muttered silently.

Everybody here knows the rules of buying and selling live pigs.

As long as Chen the butcher drags this pig away to slaughter.

Now the cat's out of the bag.

Once news of Old Yang's family breaking the ancestral rules, it would spread throughout the surrounding villages.

Raising fat pigs later on will be harder to sell!

“It’s no good, let’s just tell the truth! At worst, Master Chen will deduct some weight from those pig feed,” Yang Huazhou proposed.

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

Yang Hu an shot Yang Huazhou a sideways glance. "Losing a few ounces is nothing, but this act of deception is serious. Chen the butcher...Humph, he's not a man of good words!"

"At worst, we'll reduce the weight by a couple of jin and lower the price. How about eight copper coins per jin" Yang Huazhou added.

Yang Huaming immediately rejected Yang Huaizhou's proposal.

"How much would that cost us Absolutely not!" Yang Huaming said.

Yang Huazhou was a bit annoyed, so he simply shut his mouth and stood aside.

Old Yang listened to his sons' arguments, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Don't sell it

It's settled. The price is agreed upon, the weight is measured, and the pig has even been tied to the cart.

Shall we sell it

That is to say, to put one's own disgraceful deeds on display.

Even if this side concedes, Butcher Chen would still have a grudge and definitely tell others about it!

That way, not only will money be lost, but face will also be lost.

"Alright, let's get this pig back to the backyard before Mr. Chen gets back!"

Old Yang waved his hand and ordered it.

Weigh the lesser of two evils!

It's better to bear the reputation of being two-faced than to lose money and face.

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

"Oh! The money that was almost in my grasp has flown away again!"

Yang Huaming mumbled to himself, hanging his head low as he trailed behind Lao Yang out the door.

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

Of all these people, Yang Huazhou is the most downcast.

The big pig is about his marrying a wife!

Well, that's going to have to be pushed back again!

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

But this matter concerns the reputation of the entire Yang family.

A man can only suppress his bitterness in his heart!

The backyard this piece.

>

Yang Ruoqing softly asked Yang Huazhong, "Father, the wind has picked up. Why don't I push you back to the house for a rest"

The early winter wind carried a chill. My father, newly recovered from a serious illness, caught another cold if he wasn't careful.

Yang Huazhong nodded.

>

Yang Ruqing had just adjusted her wheelchair when she saw Lao Yang and the others rolling back with a handcart.

On the cart, a plump pig bound in colorful ribbons squealed pitifully as it was jostled about.

There was a lot of commotion, so much that the three piglets in Yang Ruqing's pen were also running around and making noise.

>

“Father, Fifth Brother, why have you dragged the pig back again”

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

Yang Huazhong looked astonished and asked.

Old Yang's face was gloomy as he told Yang Huazhong about what Liu had done.

The man was stunned on the spot.

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

Yang Ruqing, standing behind the man, twitched the corner of her mouth.

What does "baijia numan" mean

Liu Shi truly interpreted this word to perfection!

"Qing'er, what do you think of this matter"

In her daze, Yang Huazhong's anxious voice broke into her ears.

Yang Ruqing came to her senses and saw that her father was staring at her intently.

Yang Ruqing was happy.

>

“Dad, why are you asking me this”

“Well, you’re smarter than us!” Yang Huazhong said.

>

Yang Ruqing smiled faintly, without a sound.

Turning their gaze to that side, Lao Yang and the others were busy untying the rope.

This is a test.

One by one, with furrowed brows and heads hung low.

Stay out of it and mind your own business.

She didn't intend to meddle in this matter at all.

Knowing one's daughter is best done by her father. Seeing her this indifferent, Yang Huazhong sighed.

The man lowered his voice and pleaded with Yang Ruqing, "Ruqing, it's not easy for your fifth uncle to find a wife. If you can think of any good ideas, just say them, and we'll help your fifth uncle."

Hearing her father speak with such earnest pleas, Yang Ruohua's brow furrowed slightly.

Her gaze fell directly on Fifth Uncle Yang Huazhou.

Among this group of people, he should be the most frustrated, right

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

But ever since the man returned to the backyard, he's been keeping his head down and following Lao Yangtou's orders without a single complaint!

This man's life has been quite a journey, full of ups and downs. It hasn't been easy for him.

But this man was a truly honest and kind person.

In Old Yang's family, he was the most caring and righteous towards the third wife.

Alright, for Uncle Five's sake, she'll take care of this little matter.

Seeing Yang Ruqing nod, Yang Huazhong smiled with relief.

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

He hurriedly said to Old Yang and the others: "Father, Fifth Brother, Qing'er has figured out a way."

>

Over there, Lao Yang and the others heard this, and their hands paused for a moment.

Old Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at Yang Ruqing, a look of suspicion on his face.

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

Before Old Yang could speak, Yang Huaming beside him scoffed.

"Come on, all of us together can't figure it out, how could she, just a little girl, possibly have that capability"

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

"I believe in Qing'er, if Qing'er says there is, then there must be!" Yang Huaizhou said immediately.

Yang Huaming rolled his eyes and pointed at the fat pig's belly on the cart: "All the pig feed is in this belly. Even if she were a fairy, she couldn't dig it out!"

"Fourth brother, don't desecrate the gods!"

Old Yang sternly scolded Yang Huaming.

Yang Huaming shrank his neck sheepishly.

Old Yang looked at Yang Ruqing with suspicion: "Fatty, what good idea do you have"
