Zheng Changhe recalled that Liu'er's mother had cursed Juhua on more than one occasion; they had practically become enemies with the Zheng Family. He felt deeply uneasy. With a pained expression, he said to Juhua, "Daughter, can't we just stay out of other people's business? If Li Changliang wants to marry Liu'er, even his own father can't stop him. But if Liu'er refuses and you go stick your nose in it, people will just curse you."
Mrs. Yang, however, thought, 'A kind heart is always rewarded. Look, didn't the rash on her face clear up on its own? This baby will surely be born safely too.' With a decisive wave of her hand, she declared, "I'll go talk to them. I'm old and thick-skinned. They can't do anything to me for saying a few words, and if an argument breaks out, I can out-shout you any day."
