She rolled the bundle back into Yang Huazhong's hands and went past to pull Yang Yongzhi up from the ground.

"Even if the sky were to fall, I would stand up and speak!" she said.

Then, she didn't intercede for Yang Yongzhi with the head of the household, Lao Yangtou, but instead came before the doctor: "Doctor, what's the situation with my third sister-in-law? I heard from my third brother that now it's a choice between two options?"

The doctor also knew Yang Ruqing, and was even more aware that aside from her identities as the granddaughter of the Old Yang family and the head of Tianxiang Pavilion, she was also the honorable wife of the General Protecting the Country.

The doctor addressed Lady Yang Ruqing with the utmost respect and sincerity: "Lady Luo, your third sister-in-law's condition is very precarious. Her maternal blood Qi is deficient, and the fetus is excessively large. Due to prolonged labor without success, her body has suffered severe depletion..."

The doctor spoke a bunch of technical jargon, leaving the listener with a headache and even more confused.

"Doctor, just tell us what we can understand. What do you want us to do now?" Yang Ruocheng interrupted the doctor and asked straight to the point.

The doctor said, "The fetus is stuck in the birth canal, unable to move in or out. Now we have to make a choice, we can only save one..."

"Your grandfather means to save the child, even if it means sacrificing an adult. Your third uncle means exactly the opposite. Both sides are deadlocked, but there's no time left inside. Make a decision quickly!" he urged.

Yang Ruqing immediately became angry when she heard this.

“Having trouble? Didn’t you say there was a midwife born with magical hands who could deliver any difficult child? How come she can’t do it now?” Yang Ruqing shouted, her voice loud enough to reach the delivery room.

It's all bullshit. When they brag, each one tops the other. But when it comes to actually being useful, they force family members to make this kind of binary choice?

Can this be chosen? Pick one to try!

The delivery room fell into a brief silence. Both the midwives understood Yang Ruqing's background.

Just because things were friendly before, doesn't mean there isn't any temper.

After venting her anger, Yang Ruqing issued a death decree to the doctor: "Don't choose, I want both! If you can't save them, all four of you are finished, including this Yi He Chun Medical Hall. That's my final word today!"

The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his head and hurried into the delivery room to deliver the news, then continued to fight!

Here, Lao Yangtou and Yang Ruqing said to each other, "Qing'er, why do you have to make it difficult for the doctor and midwife? They are doing their best..."

Seeing Yang Ruqing's face turn pale and silent, Old Yang continued, "I asked that doctor earlier, and he said the card seems to have a boy inside,"

“This puts both of them in jeopardy. If we can’t protect either one, then we’ll lose both, and the only male offspring of our Yang family will be gone just like that…”

Before she could finish her words, Yang Ruqing abruptly turned around, her sharp eyes glaring daggers at Lao Yangtou.

“Men? Boys? Grandfather, in your eyes, is my third sister-in-law's life not a life outside of these men and boys?” Yang Ruqing asked word by word.

Every single character seemed to radiate with coldness, making Lao Yang's spine tingle.

But Old Yang, as the head of the family and Yang Ruoqing's grandfather, couldn't back down!

"Men are treasures!" he said.

"What's the point of bringing a wife home? Let's be honest, isn't it all about giving birth to children and continuing the family line?"

“Your grandma had a difficult labor when she gave birth to your uncle. She held my hand on the bed and said, ‘When it gets really bad, you have to save the child!’”

“This is what every woman thinks, why wouldn't your third sister-in-law be able to? Having a baby is like walking through the gate of hell, we can’t control any accidents that might happen. It’s already hard enough for those doctors and midwives to save two babies, if they couldn’t save both in the end, you’d have nothing!”

Old Yang's temper flared, his eyes widened like copper bells, and saliva flew everywhere as he spoke.

Yang Ruqing was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

It's really, truly freezing.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else! ?

Although she knew that male superiority over females wasn't a family-specific belief, but rather the mainstream ideology of this era, and understood in her heart that Old Yang only favored and valued sons.

When they were young, these granddaughters of Lao Yang's weren't looked upon favorably. Only his grandsons were cherished and considered to be the true blood of the Lao Yang family.

But some things everyone knows in their hearts, there's no need to say them out loud, so clearly, so plainly.

Then that would be a bit cruel.

Really, don't treat your daughter-in-law's life as worthless.

The daughter-in-law was also raised by her parents in another family, and she was also pampered like a pearl.

Especially someone like Zhao Liuer, whose biological parents passed away early, and grew up relying on her bachelor brother Zhao Damao.

Even so, Zhao Liuer didn't just appear out of thin air. Her parents in the afterlife would feel heartache if they knew this, and her brother, if he knew that his only sister was abandoned like this, how could he live?

Yang Ruqing was so angry that her mind went blank. For a moment, she didn't know what to say to counter Old Yang's words.

And Zhou Weihua and his brothers, Yang Yongzhi and Yang Yonxian, were also shocked.

None of them expected that Lao Yang's core, deep down, still held onto such an idea. This... this was beyond their previous understanding of Lao Yang. For a moment, they were all stunned speechless.

In the end, Yang Ruqing was the first to come back to her senses. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She laughed bitterly, staring into Old Yang's eyes and saying word by word: "What a good saying, women are born to be tools for perpetuating the family line. I ask you, old man, if it were Aunt Mei lying here, suffering from childbirth complications, would the Wang family even give you a second thought? They would have directly sentenced Aunt Mei to death."

“By the time you arrive, Miss Mei's body will be cold. What then? Will you still be able to speak with such righteous indignation?”

This question even stumped Lao Yang.

Lao Yang's eyes rolled around, and he stubbornly said, "If it really comes to that, even as a father-in-law, I would understand the righteousness of protecting the child!"

Yang Ruqing sneered and continued, "When it truly comes to a choice between two options and only one can be saved, it's not the in-laws who decide, nor the natal family. It is the expectant mother herself who decides!"

Each and every one of us here, including Big Brother, can't decide whether to save the big or the small. The life belongs to Third Sister-in-law, so she should make her own decision!

“So, father, perhaps you should refrain from wielding your patriarchal authority in these cold places. While you may see sons as treasures, children feel incomplete without their mothers.”

"Qing'er is right!" Yang Huazhong spoke up first.

“Children indeed cannot do without a mother. In a family, the weight of both father and mother is equally important; it's not about who is superior or inferior. Without either one, this household simply wouldn't function!” he continued.

Of course, he received a withering glare from Old Yang's eyes. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Yongxian also said, "If possible, try to save both of them!"

Yang Yongzhi stopped sobbing. He lifted his head and said, "A child needs a mother, and I need my daughter-in-law. As I said before, son, I already have Hong'er. It doesn't matter if there's one more or one less. I just want Liu'er. I only want Liu'er to be well. Without Liu'er, our family with Hong'er will fall apart. I only want Liu'er!"

This is a test.
