By the ti Ye Yu arrived at the entrance of the village, Ye Qiu had already driven back to the thatched cottage at the other end of the village, where several aunties and Chen Wen were chatting while cleaning the house.
The thatched cottage was small, and had been tidied up neatly when they left, so it wasn't hard to manage. Ye Qiu also brought new bedding from the provincial city, which he laid out in just a few minutes.
This return was for Ye Xiaoi Ye Fang's wedding, there was a banquet to attend, and they didn't need to cook many als. They really didn't want to eat at Granny Ye's place, so they could just give so money and eat at the village chief's house instead, aning the kitchen didn't need much tidying up.
As Ye Qiu was showing Manman around the thatched house, Ye Yu finally arrived, fuming with anger.
But the minute he saw the black sedan, his resentnt vanished, thinking that he didn't want any other toys his uncle brought, just this car was fine.
He would drive this car to school, how impressive that would be. Those classmates who looked down on him would definitely be envious.
At this mont, Ye Yu regarded Ye Qiu's car entirely as his own big toy, never considering whether he could drive it or was able to.
He had always been the little tyrant of the family, getting whatever he wanted. His uncle had always treated him very well. If he asked him for the car, how could he refuse?
This car, it seed, had already beco his possession.
"Uncle, I want this car!" Ye Yu stood in front of the car, his face full of arrogance.
Several aunties and young wives chatting with Chen Wen were stupefied upon hearing this, wondering who gave him such confidence with his entitled tone.
"What did you say?" Ye Qiu was stunned; he knew his nephew had been spoiled and arrogant by Granny Ye, but couldn't believe he would try to claim his car at just eight years old. It was no wonder that he would murder "him" for property when he was grown up.
"Uncle, I an, you don't have to bring other toys, just exchange them for this car," Ye Yu said, failing to realize how ridiculous his request was, as if Ye Qiu had not heard him clearly and explaining again.
Before Ye Qiu and Chen Wen could respond, the aunties next to them couldn't hold back.
"Ye boy, this is not sothing you can play with."
"Do you know how expensive this car is? You can't just ask for it."
"Even a biological father wouldn't give such a thing to an eight-year-old to play."
The group of aunties chattered away, and Ye Yu's lips pursed tighter, fists clenching tight, roaring: "None of your business, ddlers, my uncle's belongings are mine."
This statent was absolutely shocking. Although these won were not very close to his mother Liu Ping, they would smile, greet and chat a bit when they t, but he didn't expect them to be cursed behind their backs like this.
ddlers? If it wasn't spoken about frequently at ho, how would a child rember it so clearly?
And this, the uncle's things being his? Ye Laoer's family still coveted what belonged to Eldest Ye! It still depends on whether Ye Qiu and Sister Wen agree!
One auntie scoffed, "Ye boy, even your father wouldn't dare to tell your uncle that his belongings are yours. So people just have to accept their fate and stop coveting what belongs to others all the ti."
"Indeed, everything belonging to your uncle will be your cousin Manman's in the future, including this car."
"How does Ye Laoer educate? This child really does not know the imnsity of heaven and earth."
Usually being villagers, everyone encountered each other often, so people did gossip behind one's back, but there was no one who would make up stories in front of children, which is why although Ye Laoer's family had poor popularity, Ye Yu still had playmates.
It seems in the future, they need to keep their children away from Ye Yu, lest his spoiled and wilful attitude lead their children astray!
An eight-year-old child, spoiled by his family, and usually very proud, now faced accusations from the very aunties his mom disdained, his rage reached the heavens.
"You're talking nonsense, my granny and mom said that cousin Manman is an outsider, I am the one to carry on the Ye family's lineage, all of uncle's belongings will be mine in the future, including this car!"
"Why would anyone's family property be given to a nephew instead of their own child? You should ask your uncle and aunt if they agree?"
"Granny Ye and Liu Ping are really ruthless, still coveting Eldest Ye's possessions? When Eldest Ye's family couldn't afford food, they didn't see them lending a hand either!"
Being besieged with criticisms by a bunch of people, Ye Yu was about to cry. How co what these people said was different from what his grandmother had told him?
However, thinking of how his uncle used to dote on him, he imdiately stepped forward, crying for help: "Uncle, they are all wrong. Granny said you liked the best, and I will be sobody in the future. You will even rely on when you are old. Help scold them; otherwise, I will ignore you when I achieve success."
The things he said, really shaless!
Whether this arrogant eight-year-old boy will achieve anything in the future, they don't know, but Ye Qiu has already made his mark. Are they supposed to rely on you in the future?
With your family's ungrateful and selfish attitude, who would depend on whom?
"Ye Yu." Ye Qiu was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Although you are my nephew, this car was bought by your aunt, I cannot give it to you. Even if it was mine, it would belong to your sister Manman. I won't let you take care of in the future. If you really want a car, you can ask your dad to buy it for you, or work hard in your studies so you can buy it yourself when you grow up."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu burst into rage imdiately. This was not what his granny and mom had told him!
Seeing how impressive the car was, why wouldn't his uncle give it to him?
"Is it her? Is she the one who doesn't allow it?" Ye Yu angrily pointed at Chen Wen, "Granny said, aunt is no good, she is a curse who cannot bear descendants, she is an outsider!"
Upon hearing these words, the aunts were utterly shocked. Chen Wen had not been lazy for a single day since she married into the Ye Family; it turned out Granny Ye never regarded her as one of their own.
Ye Qiu and Chen Wen's faces darkened, and even Manman was no longer the unaware child she once was.
Knowing the person in front of her was her cousin, but he disliked her and her mom and even badmouthed her mom.
"This is my mom, not an outsider. You are the outsider," Manman couldn't stand it, retorting in her baby voice, her thin voice not annoying at all.
"That's right, as Manman said, Aunt, Manman, and I are a family, no outsiders. You and your parents are a family on your own," Ye Qiu said with a stern face, word by word.
"My things are not to be dictated by your family. Go back, we will visit Granny later."
The aunts around looked at him sarcastically. Uncle didn't defend him, and Ye Yu couldn't take it anymore. His eyes reddened with rage, and he yelled at Ye Qiu, "Just you wait, when I make sothing of myself, I won't care about you! I'm going back to Granny, she will stand up for !"
"Pfft, whether you will achieve anything is still uncertain. Who cares?"
"Exactly, this Ye kid was raised too proud and arrogant by Granny Ye and Liu Ping."
"Ye Qiu, don't get mad, what aunt said, your mom is just too biased."
"Yes, sister Wen, you need to be more aware!"
"Thanks for everyone's kindness, we appreciate it. Household matters are complicated, and since it's getting late we need to visit the Old Lady soon, so we won't keep you any longer," Chen Wen also didn't say much, just exchanged polite pleasantries.
Watching the bitter smiles of Chen Wen and Ye Qiu, everyone nodded understandingly, shaking their heads as they went back ho.
Every family has its issues, but the Ye Family's are just more prominent.
Ye Qiu and Chen Wen knew that when Ye Yu went back crying, their visit would turn into a tempest. But the couple wasn't afraid, they were no longer the couple who used to be bullied two years ago.
Moreover, regarding today's events, nobody could really fault them if they told the story.
The couple wasn't in a hurry, they took Manman back to their room, sorted their things, fed her so food and milk before leisurely heading towards Eldest Ye's house.
By this ti, Eldest Ye's family had been waiting and waiting, their anger reaching its peak, just waiting for Ye Qiu's family to arrive to give them a piece of their mind.
Ye Yu was walking tall, backed by his granny and parents. His previous grievances and anger had turned into smugness. Hmph, even if Uncle and the rest would give him the car and all his toys and snacks, he wouldn't forgive them.
Especially Granny Ye, who thought Eldest Ye had been tricked by Chen Wen and was even more displeased with her.
