Chapter 3767: What Do You Possess?
n your way tonight, and I won't even frown."“Don’t worry, Zichuan. We will definitely follow you north when the time comes,” she said.Mù Zīchuan said: "Then that's good. If there's nothing else, I'll...Originally, I was going to give Uncle Yang Huaming five days. Unexpectedly, on the third day early in the morning, when Yang Ruqing got up and opened the courtyard door, she saw Yang Huaming appear at the entrance of the courtyard.
After three days, Fourth Uncle's hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot. A layer of stubble grew around his mouth and on his cheeks.
And with the white hair in his forest eyebrows, standing there in the autumn morning wind, Fourth Uncle looked so disheveled, haggard, and aged.
This couldn't help but remind Yang Ruoqing of an article she had seen in her elementary school textbook from her past life: My Uncle Yu Le.
Yes, it's the uncle who disappeared from home years ago. Both his parents and everyone in town say he made a fortune outside.
But one day, on a ship going out to sea, he saw a down-and-out middle-aged man cooking clams for the customers.
The sea breeze tousled his messy hair, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and hands rough with callouses...
At this moment, standing in the morning wind, Fourth Uncle Yang Huaming is just like the uncle in the textbook, down on his luck.
But, it's not worth pitying at all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Because he brought this all upon himself.
"Qing'er, one hundred taels of silver, I have it all here. Just sign it."
Yang Huaming took a package out from under his armpit and handed it to Yang Ruqing.
Yang Ruoqing took it over and weighed it in her hand, feeling its heaviness.
She untied a corner of the bundle, peeked inside, and then pushed it around with her hand. “No need to count,” she said, “it’s one hundred taels.”
Yang Huaming grinned, his eyes fixed on Yang Ruoqing with eagerness.
He said nothing, but his eyes spoke volumes.
This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text that has been removed.
Yang Ruqing deliberately ignored his gaze and said faintly, "I'm returning the IOU to you. From now on, we're even."
After saying this, she took the silver and turned to go back into the courtyard.
Yang Huaming caught up, "Qinger, wait a moment, Fourth Uncle still has something to say to you..."
Yang Ruqing turned to face him, "Uncle Four, I know what you want to say."
"Given your previous behavior, whether at the restaurant or gathering herbs, neither is suitable for you. You should seek other opportunities!" she said. Yang Huaming once again stopped Yang Ruqing and pleaded: "Ruqing, I don't mind doing dirty or tiring work. The herb-gathering team requires meticulous work, and I can't even identify herbs now. What about the transport team Uncle Four still has some strength left. Perhaps I could redeem myself by joining the transport team for the rest of my life"
Yang Ruqing looked at him indifferently. After a long silence, she squeezed out a mocking smile: "Uncle Four, you're mistaken. The transportation team isn't something you can enter with just brute force,"
“Skill, wisdom, courage, bravery, determination, loyalty, perseverance, and diligence...”
She asked, “What do you possess”
Yang Huaming was speechless.
Yang Ruqing continued, "Now, the transport team has changed the rules. Those over forty years old have already retired."
“Uncle Chang Gen and Uncle Daniu have both retired. Now, the backbone of the transportation team are guys like Brother Ba Zhu and Brother Yu Zhu. After them come the young recruits from recent years.”
"Fourth Uncle, the Transport Team's requirements are higher than those of the Herbal Medicine Gathering Team and the Tavern, it's not suitable for you. Perhaps you should look for another path!"
After saying this, Yang Ruqing ignored Yang Huaming any longer and returned to the backyard without looking back.
After Yang Huaming returned to the old Yang family's courtyard, he just happened to catch Old Yang squatting at the entrance of the east room, rinsing his mouth.
An old man had a towel draped over his shoulder and a basin of water at his feet.
Hearing footsteps approaching, the old man looked up to see Yang Huaming coming over with his arms drooping, his whole body as dejected as a frost-bitten eggplant.
The old man took a large gulp of water to spit out the salty bits in his mouth, then stood up.
“Lao Si, you’re back How did things go Did you fill that hole of one hundred taels of silver” the old man asked in a trembling voice.
Yang Huaming looked up at Lao Yangtou, and nodded with difficulty.
"That's all right then." Old Yang nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Yang Huaming like this, Lao Yang was taken aback and asked, "Since everything is patched up, you're free from prison disaster, so why are you looking like this The sky hasn't fallen..."
Yang Huaming stood there, his body swaying slightly. "Why didn't it collapse My new house in the county town is gone, my job at the tavern is gone, and I have no money left. I can't make ends meet for the future!"
Hearing this, Lao Yang's head was shocked, "How could you have no family assets Your house sold for a few hundred taels of silver, and your mother and I still gave you twenty taels. Over there at the tavern, you filled the hole of one hundred taels, and you still had a surplus of twenty or so taels!"
Yang Huaming smiled bitterly, "The house violated the contract, and just the breach of contract fee cost nearly thirty taels. Thirty taels were deducted from one hundred taels, and the landlord returned seventy taels to me."
Besides, I still owe the craftsmen who helped me renovate my house. The renovation cost twenty taels of silver, and after deducting that twenty taels, I only have fifty taels left.
"Adding to the twenty taels that Father gave me, we have seventy taels. With a hole of one hundred taels, I and Xiaojuan put all our savings from these years into it, which finally made up the one hundred taels of silver to fill the hole."
"Dad, you say I still have any money left Am I going to be ruined today" Yang Huaming asked hysterically.
Old Yang was stunned, his eyes fixed on Yang Huaming. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, finally turning into a heavy sigh.
"Knowing this today, why bother with the beginning This is courting death, who can you blame" he asked.
Yang Huaming staggered backward, his expression a mix of tears and laughter, seeming deranged.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm asking for it. I deserve this, haha…"
He picked up a broom from the corner of the wall and ran to the old locust tree in the middle of the courtyard, using the broom to beat the trunk.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
While beating, he also cursed and cried and scolded. He cried and laughed.
The commotion here alarmed the entire front and back yards. Liu shi, Yang Ruohua, San'er, Xiao Juan holding Gou Dan, as well as Yang Yongxian from the front yard, and Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer couple all rushed to the backyard.
The women and children were all frightened to tears at the sight of Yang Huaming, while Old Man Yang stomped his feet in anxious agitation.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with my fourth uncle" Yang Yongzhi asked puzzledly.
Old Yang said, "Your fourth uncle has gone crazy."
"Ah" Yang Yongzhi was stunned.
Lao Yang said, "Don't just stand there, Yongxian, Yongzhi. Hurry and bring your fourth uncle over."
Yang Yongxian and Yang Yongzhi, the brothers, rushed forward to try to hold back Yang Huaming. Unexpectedly, Yang Huaming turned around and swept them away like a thousand armies.
Yang Yongzhi was more agile, ducking low and avoiding the broom. It brushed past his face before striking Yang Yongxian's cheek with a solid blow.
Yang Yongxian let out a muffled groan, covering his nose and taking a few steps back. Two streams of blood oozed from the gaps between his fingers.

"Big brother, big brother, how are you doing"
Yang Yongzhi hurried over and supported Yang Yongxian.nineteen this year, whether you're in a peasant family or a wealthy clan in the city,""At your age, you should be married, shouldn't you You're still single, so the only variable is getting married!"...
