"Yongjin is also worried like you, so he asked me to talk to you in private." Cao Bamei said.

"He doesn't know about this. Shouldn't he tell me and his uncles that we can all work together to restrain the second uncle?" Cao Bamei asked again.

Yang Ruoqing quickly shook her head: "It's better not to say it yet."

"Why? Are you watching him keep going whoring like this?" Cao Bamei asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "This matter is beyond our control."

"Besides, prostitution doesn't break any laws. It's just like going to a restaurant or a teahouse. It just seems like we're making a big fuss and interfering with him in everything," she said.

"What do you think we should do, Qing'er?" Cao Bamei asked again.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment, "It's very simple. Second brother will go to the county town again at the end of the year. Then I will find an opportunity to take my father and fourth uncle with me."

"Just let me see my second uncle go to Goulan Courtyard with his own eyes." She said.

Cao Bamei's eyes lit up: "What a great idea. Once I see it, I will definitely ask my second uncle about it."

…

With more people and greater strength, a sumptuous lunch was quickly prepared.

There are the most popular winter solstice noodles and red bean glutinous rice that people in Changping Village eat during the Winter Solstice Festival.

There is also Tuoba Xian’s popular mutton dumplings in the Daliao area.

In addition, many dishes were cooked, including chicken, duck, fish, cabbage, radish, lotus root, potatoes, eggs and other stir-fry dishes.

The pots and tables were all put down, and the rice steaming grid of the big pot inside was filled with food.

At a glance, you will see so many exquisite things that it will make people laugh!

"Dad, the food is ready. Mom asked me to ask if everyone is here?"

Yang Ruoqing took the time to come to the front hall to convey Sun's message.

Yang Huazhong glanced at everyone in the room and said, "Only Mr. Bai from the second room is here."

Yang Hua'an, the eldest brother, is not included. Yang Huazhong directly omitted this sentence.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, then looked at Lao Yangtou.

"Sir, shall we wait for my second uncle? Or start dinner?" she asked.

Old Yang glanced at everyone, and the old man's lips moved: "Your second uncle won't wait, your uncle..."

"Okay, let's have dinner. Tangyazi and Da'an, please clear the table!"

Yang Ruoqing directly interrupted what Old Yang was saying, waved her hand, and announced directly.

Even a fool can guess that Old Yang wants to take advantage of today's Winter Solstice Festival to bring Yang Hua'an, who has been isolated for several months, back to the family gathering of Old Yang's family.

Let everyone accept Yang Huaan again.

What a pity, Yang Ruoqing has sworn not to allow Yang Huaan to come in to have a bite of food, sit on a stool, and hold a pair of chopsticks!

reason?

It's very simple, that guy is so disgusting, eating at the same table with him is off-putting!

Yang Ruoqing's intention was cut off immediately, and Old Yang's expression looked like he had eaten half a fly.

My eyes were on Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou, eager to stand up and say something personally.

Unfortunately, the old man was disappointed again.

Everyone had a tacit understanding of pretending to be stupid, even the three biological sons Yang Yongxian, Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongqing didn't answer.

The old man could only sigh secretly in his heart.

I lamented the eldest son Yang Huaan’s super failed way of life.

Hot and fragrant meals were served to the table one after another.

As usual, there was one table for men and another for women. The children picked up their dishes and sat on the side to eat.

Bao Suyun and Liu personally fed Mian Mian and Kang Xiaozi, children who could not hold a spoon by themselves.

Feed the child first and then eat yourself.

Snowflakes are still falling outside, but inside the house is as warm as spring.

The aroma of the food and the wine mixed together, making the room even more joyful.

After three drinks, Yang Yongxian stood up at the men's table.

"Master, grandma, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, aunts and brothers and sisters, please allow me to say a few words."

Yang Yongxian glanced at the people in the hall and said.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Even Yang Ruoqing temporarily put down her chopsticks and looked at Yang Yongxian seriously.

Xindao, who is usually a nerdy cousin, rarely speaks at family gatherings.

What is this trying to express today?

A little curious!

Over there, Lao Yangtou put down his wine cup and said to his eldest grandson Yang Yongxian in a friendly manner: "Yongxian, what do you want to say to everyone? Say it!"

Everyone else in the hall became quiet now, all eyes focused on Yang Yongxian.

Faced with such attention, Yang Yongxian was obviously not used to it.

An unnatural flush appeared on her fair and slightly pale face.

But he still took a deep breath and said to everyone: "It has been thirteen years since I started school at the age of six. Elders, I would like to thank you for your cultivation of me over the past thirteen years."

He bowed to everyone first.

Then he stood up and continued: "I understand the high expectations everyone has for me, the eldest grandson of the family."

"It's just that my talent is stupid and I failed everyone's expectations."

"It's been thirteen years, I barely managed to pass the examination as a scholar, and I can't bring glory to my family. I'm really ashamed!"

At this point, Yang Yongxian blushed and wanted to bow down again, but was stopped by Old Yangtou.

"Yongxian, what do you want to say? You are not stupid, it's just that the time has not come yet and your skills have not been used enough!" Old Yangtou said loudly.

Yang Huazhong also patted Yang Yongjin on the shoulder: "Niece, don't be discouraged. Study hard. Third uncle believes that you will definitely pass the exam!"

Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou also encouraged Yang Yongxian.

Yang Yongxian shook his head.

"I thought so before, but now, I see myself clearly." He said slowly.

"A person's talent and qualifications are destined."

"No matter how hard you work hard the day after tomorrow, it is destined to be as high as you can climb."

"With mediocre qualifications like mine, it's not easy to be admitted as a scholar."

"It's not that I'm discouraged, it's that I understand that if you want to pass the examination, you won't be able to do it for ten or eight years!" he said.

"Our eldest brother also divided his family, and the second brother took on the expenses of my mother and fourth brother."

"And I, as the eldest son of the eldest family, should have been responsible for all these things, but I..."

"I decided not to read it anymore!" Yang Yongxian finally said.

This decision shocked everyone in the hall.

Yang Yongjin stood up, patted his chest and said loudly: "Brother, ten or eight years will be ten or eight years. Brother, I will provide for your food, drinks and expenses. You just have to concentrate on your studies!"

Everyone looked at Yang Yongjin with praise.

Yang Yongxian also looked moved.

He looked at Yang Yongjin and said: "Second brother, you have this kind of heart. Brother Yu, I understand."

"This is the path our father took until he was in his early thirties..."

"I don't want to follow in my father's footsteps and study by myself and let my brothers take care of everything."

"Not only do you have to serve your grandparents, but you also have to support your mother and fourth brother. Now that your second brother and sister are also pregnant, the family will have a new child. The burden on your shoulders is too heavy!" Yang Yongxian said.

"Brother, I can afford it!" Yang Yongjin said again.
Chapter completed!
