Chapter 3018: Personal Affairs
nts only had three of us siblings, I think that's pretty good. Having too many isn't necessarily a good thing either."As darkness fell, Yang Ruqing and Ping'er rose to take their leave.“When Dagmo is...Several thugs fled in disarray. Here, Chen Biao's father looked at the sky outside, and a bird flew past.
The man coughed up a mouthful of blood and weakly said, "There's still about a month until Qingming Festival. I don't know if I can make it to then. At least, before the festival, I want to go back one last time and burn incense for my father, mother, and grandparents…"
Chen Pianyang and Chen Pian heard this, and both cried.
“Father Biao, don’t think too much. Biao brought back silver, and I’ll go buy pig liver for you right now to replenish your blood!” Chen Biang cried.
Looking at the large mouthful of fresh blood that Chen Biao's father spat out on the ground, the woman continued, "For every drop of blood you spit out, I'll replenish it. As long as there's still blood in your body, you won't die..."
Chen Biao's father shook his head, but the woman had already turned and run out of the house to save Chen Biao's father according to what she thought was the right way.
In the house, Chen Biao's father reached out to Chen Biao, "Biaoer ah, come here..."
Chen Biao came to his father's bedside and knelt before him, his hands tightly clasped in his father's.
"If your mother were here, I wouldn't say these things, for fear she would be hurt by hearing them."
“She’s not here right now, father entrusted these flowers to you. Listen carefully.”
Chen Biao nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his face.
At the bedside, Yang Ruohua and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, both with sadness in their eyes.
Chen Biao's father, are you settling your final affairs...
>
Chen Biao was only sixteen or seventeen years old. At this age, in modern times, he would have just started high school.
Still in their parents' eyes, an ungrown child who has to be tutored even though they are studying. But what about Chen Biao
On the bed, Chen Biao's father's weak voice slowly rose.
“Your father is incompetent and has no money to marry you off. The family savings we had were intended for your brother's bride price. That's why he agreed to let you go as a son-in-law.”
"Father, I'm sorry. I can't help you and I'm only burdening you further,"
"Ju'er is a good girl, and her father is also a good man. After you marry in, you should treat Ju'er's parents as your own parents."
“After your father is gone, your mother will also need you to worry about her. Your older brother is truly unreliable…cough cough cough…”
Every time he spoke a few more words, he would cough. With each cough, blood would uncontrollably spill from his mouth.
Chen Biao took the handkerchief from beside the bed and wiped it for his father. "Father, you don't need to say all this, Biao understands. Father, rest assured, as long as Biao has a mouthful of food, he won't let Mother starve!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Chen Biao's father leaned there, panting heavily.
"With your words, father can rest assured."
"As for your older brother, I still want you two to have a close sibling relationship. But your brother... Father won't force it."
“Everyone has their own destiny, Biaer. You just need to live your own life well…”
All the way back from Chen Biao's house to Changping Village, Yang Ruqing remained silent and her mood was visibly low.
Luo Fengtang was the same. The couple didn't communicate much, but in reality, they both understood that each other, just like them, had been thinking about Chen Biao's family all along.

After dinner, Lao Yangtou and Yang Huaming came to Yang Huazhong's house to visit and chat.
Of course, she also learned about what happened to Chen Biao's family these past few days from Yang Ruqing.
Yang Huaming expressed anger at this.
"I just don't get it, how can siblings be so different"
"Chen Biao is an honest, hardworking and responsible child. Why is his brother such a bad influence"
“To actually steal his father's life-saving money to gamble, owe so much and run away, compared to this kind of person, I feel that my past self was truly great!” Yang Huaming said.
Yang Huazhong also had a look of mixed emotions on his face, saying, "Yes, these two brothers are really worlds apart!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Lao Yang puffed out a ring of smoke and glanced at his sons, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming. He said slowly, "A long vine bears seven gourds, each different. What more can be said about brothers"
"Don't even talk about those far away, just take your five brothers as an example, they are like that too, nothing strange!"
The old man shook his head as he spoke, then tucked the pipe back into his mouth and took a long drag.
"Fortunately, the Chen family still has Chen Biao. Otherwise, after his father's passing, his mother following his brother would truly be facing poverty!" Lao Yang said again.
Yang Huaming frowned and said, "Originally, I let Ju'er recruit a son-in-law to come to the door to take care of us in our old age."

“In the end, I even have to support his mother over there. The burden is truly heavy, not just a little bit!”
Yang Huazhong said: “Chen Biao's family situation, Chen Biao is definitely going to support his mother, this is the most basic thing a person should do.”
Yang Huaming remained silent, sitting there, only able to admit his bad luck.
If I had married her off back then, things might not have been this complicated.
If we were to make a change right now, marrying Kikuko off and keeping the third girl here at home to be wed later,
On the one hand, I was afraid of being laughed at. On the other hand, San'ya is only eight years old. She won't be fourteen and get married for six more years.
I'm thirty-four this year, and I'll be forty in six years.
When others are forty, their grandchildren can already stir soy sauce. When I'm forty, my daughter is just getting married. Then she'll have children, and I'll be taking care of them, supporting her young family, even though I'll be an old man myself!
San'er's personality is not as strong as Ju'er's. Her chosen husband is also not as reliable as Chen Biao. He is a good-natured person,
At that time, there will be constant quarreling and fighting every other day. Our own daughter will suffer the losses, and even as her father-in-law, I will have to endure grievances along with her.
No, no, can't delay any longer, it has to be Ju and Chen Biao.
The focus is on the key points. At least, Juer's personality can suppress Chen Biao, and Chen Biao looks like a good-natured boy as well.
Since Chen Biao already worked at Qinger's restaurant, fearing her as his mistress, it was safer and more reassuring to have him come as a son-in-law.

“Well, Dad, Third Brother, I have a suggestion.”
Yang Huaming made up his mind and interrupted the conversation between Lao Yangtou and Yang Huzhong.
"What's the proposal" Old Yang asked.
Yang Huaming said: "Chen Biao's father is critically ill now. There's no way he has the time or energy to prepare for his two children's weddings."
“But once he really kicks the bucket, Chen Biao will have to observe three years of mourning.”
"I plan to hold the wedding for these two children during the hot summer vacation. What do you think" Yang Huaming asked.
Everybody was pondering.
>
Yang Ruqing was also pondering.
This is a custom in Da Qi. When parents die, children observe three years of filial piety at home. Those who serve as officials outside their homes must resign and return to observe filial piety for three years.
Even if you don't want to, the emperor will take the initiative to do that to you, and let you go home to be a good wife for three years.
Over the next three years, all entertainment and festivities will be banned, including joyous occasions.
...However, marriage within the period of mourning was also permitted.
"It's good, but the problem is, Juju is still young. She won't be fourteen years old until summer..." Lao Yang looked hesitant.
Yang Huaming said: "We can let them get married first, and the wedding night can be later. We'll wait until the second half of the year."
Old Yang said: "This is possible. If it were like He Yazi, she would be pregnant at thirteen..."
When it comes to Yang Ruohua, Yang Huaming gets angry: “Dad, don’t mention that girl, she's a disgrace!”
