Ye Qiu left unhappily from a family gathering, only appearing again during the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner when everyone was supposed to gather, but this ti he did not bring He Xixian. When he arrived, everyone looked at him as if they had sothing to say, their expressions particularly interesting.
"What exactly happened? Yesterday, our cousin was crying and complaining to Grandpa and Grandma, saying you fell out with the family over an outsider and that your girlfriend doesn’t know her place and had a row with her. Even Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt’s faces looked grim, so be careful later." Ye Zhe whispered mysteriously as he ran to his side.
"Thanks, cousin, I know, it’s nothing to worry about, she can’t stir up much trouble." Ye Qiu responded calmly.
Ye Zhe gave a thumbs up, then subtly glanced around, noticing that only his mom seed to have a pleasant expression.
He couldn’t understand why the family didn’t like his cousin, who was so outstanding. Now, the whole family seed dissatisfied with him, what on earth were they seeking?
"Ye Qiu, isn’t your girlfriend coming? Everyone’s waiting for the New Year’s Eve dinner!" Grandpa Ye spoke up. His tone seed calm, but there was danger hidden within.
"I sent her ho."
"Today is New Year’s Eve, you’ve already introduced her to your parents, and you won’t introduce her to Grandpa, Grandma, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt too? Haven’t you two thought it through properly?"
"Previously, when I took her to et my parents and Ye Qing, they didn’t like her; she’s cherished by her own parents, and I can’t bear to let her be mistreated." Ye Qiu replied calmly, not backing down at all.
As expected, Grandpa and Grandma Ye got angry at these words: "What do you take our whole family for? Is here a Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave? Are we going to eat her?"
"Whether you will or won’t, I don’t know, but Grandpa, you know it’s New Year’s Eve today, is it wrong for her to be with her own parents?"
"You!"
"Grandpa, don’t get upset, you’re old and it’s not good for you to be angry often. I didn’t intend to trouble both of you with my romantic affairs; I don’t know who let it slip. It’s not worth it to get so mad for a grandson you dislike. How about we eat first? The dishes will get cold otherwise." Ye Qiu smiled appropriately, but his calmness made everyone even angrier.
The whole family couldn’t enjoy the New Year because of his matter, and he still wanted everyone to sit down and eat? Who could eat at such a ti?
At this mont, Second Aunt Chang Qiao spoke up, picking up her chopsticks: "Ye Qiu is right, it’s New Year’s Eve, let’s eat first and talk later. The elders are old, and it’s not worth getting upset over these issues. Ye Qiu is an adult now; he will handle his own affairs well. We just need to prepare the red envelopes and wait for the wedding banquet."
"Dad and Mom haven’t spoken, why are you interrupting?" Second Uncle Ye Peijun glared at his wife, clearly dissatisfied with her attempt to smooth things over. In his view, Ye Qiu was wrong; how could a high-achieving student quarrel with his family like this? Maybe his niece was right, and his nephew’s girlfriend was the troublemaker.
However, Chang Qiao was unhappy with her husband’s words. She wanted to give everyone an out, but they insisted on making trouble during the New Year. She didn’t believe what Ye Qing and Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law said yesterday; they were biased to the core.
The child ca back happily with his girlfriend, why did they argue? Why did they leave unhappily? She didn’t know the details, but based on past experience, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law must have said sothing unpleasant.
They even complained yesterday in front of the elders, implying they couldn’t accept this daughter-in-law. What, you didn’t plan to give your son money and a house to marry? Now that he’s successful and self-sufficient, you won’t allow him to marry? If you’re so capable, why aren’t you in heaven?
And Ye Qing, what business is your brother’s marriage to you as an older sister? Instead of thinking about getting yourself married, you’re fixated on the family’s assets. Could it be you’re deliberately stirring trouble because of your brother’s assets?
Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are so foolish. Although now people don’t prefer sons over daughters, they shouldn’t favor daughters over sons. The son has been taught to be distant, and the daughter spoiled to be selfish; neither will be relied upon when they’re old, plenty of regrets await.
From her perspective, Ye Qiu was doing great, always worry-free since childhood, excelled academically, achieved success in his career, and now almost settled a major life event himself. Nothing for the family to worry about, as long as there’s no fundantal issue with the girl, why not happily welco a new daughter-in-law? Must they cause trouble? She couldn’t believe Ye Qing with her pampered character would serve them in the future.
And they dragged this matter to their ho and in front of the elders, what, expecting your husband and the two elders to give you justice? Hoping they’d force Ye Qiu to give his assets to Ye Qing?
This is typical of courting disaster; even advice can’t help. She believes her Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law will only watch Ye Qiu’s in-laws enjoy life in the future!
"Fine, I spoke too much, I won’t ddle in the Ye Family’s affairs anymore." Chang Qiao rolled her eyes, then lowered her head to play on her phone, even calling Ye Zhe over.
Ye Peijun looked at his wife and son, frowning, feeling sowhat angry. But now wasn’t the ti for family quarrels, the focus was still on Ye Qiu. He always thought his nephew was ungrateful, refusing when Qingqing asked him to do anything.
Now, indeed, grown up and unheeding, look at his actions. Even before marriage, he gave all his earnings to his girlfriend. Qingqing is his own sister; she cared for him when they were young. Now that he’s successful, should he not care for his sister?
A son-in-law forgets his mother when he marries; he said daughters are more reliable. He shouldn’t have compromised back then and should have had another daughter. Look at his son Ye Zhe, he only listens to his mother now.
"I’ve heard from your parents about your situation. The first ti you t them, your attitude towards them and your sister was bad; such a girlfriend is unacceptable. After this al, break up with her imdiately." Grandpa Ye frowned deeply, speaking bluntly, as in his heart, Ye Qiu was the rebellious child of the family, and he had to set him straight.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, unwavering: "Grandpa, I don’t know what my parents and Ye Qing told you, nor do I know what image you have of , but I must tell you, I have grown up, I’m an adult, I have the right to decide my life. Xianxian is excellent, and besides her, I will marry no one else in my life."
