Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief.
She didn't dare to accept it.
"That's true. I didn't consider it." Xia Jiaze also realized this problem. "Then why don't I send…"
"Uncle, you don't have to give us anything. It'll be left empty even if you give it to us now." The door of the ward opened. Xia Jinyuan ca out with Old Madam Xia. Grandpa Xia didn't co out. He was still chatting with Old Fu.
"You two brothers are not allowed to make things difficult for Little Ye, do you hear ?" The old madam ca out and didn't ask anything. She protected her favorite granddaughter-in-law first. "I told you not to co over because you'll scare Little Ye. But you didn't listen and insisted on following !
"So be it. But if you want to make things difficult for Little Ye, I don't care how old you two are, I'll scold you if I have to."
Without waiting for both of them to speak, Old Madam Ye pulled Ye Jian's hand and said kindly, "Little Ye, don't be afraid of them. If they make things difficult for you, tell . I'll stand up for you."
This was the first ti Li Jinnian saw the way the Xia family interacted. He was stunned for a mont. He couldn't believe what he saw and heard.
Was it appropriate for Old Madam Ye to say that about a minister and a successful businessman in front of her juniors?
Old Madam Ye felt that it was quite suitable!
Ye Jian finally understood why Commander Xia always liked to mock Captain Xia in front of her. It turned out that… he had a good family background!
She hurriedly said, "Grandma, no, no. Both uncles treat very well." Ye Jian was afraid that the old madam wouldn't believe her and would continue to tease the two elders, so she added, "Just now, Uncle said that he wanted to give a villa. He's such a good uncle. Don't misunderstand."
"Your uncle is generous to his family. He'll make up for whatever the family lacks without hesitation. As long as the juniors in the family get married and are in good relationships, he'll give them a gift. This is a small token of his appreciation as an elder. Take it. Don't feel burdened."
As Xia Jinyuan didn't have a mother to take care of him when he was young, the old madam favored Xia Jinyuan the most among her grandchildren. Before Ye Jian married into the Xia family, the old madam had already started to plan for Ye Jian. "Take this small gift from your uncle. If you don't take it, you'll be treating us like outsiders."
Xia Jiaze smiled. "Mom, Third Brother said just now that if I give the villa to Little Six and his wife, they won't be able to afford the maintenance fees with their current salary and allowance!"
"If you can't give them a villa, you can give them land. They won't need to pay for the maintenance fees for that, right?" The old madam was good at planning. She reacted quickly.
Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian, and Li Jinnian saw that their uncle, Xia Jiaze, was stunned. After a while, he said, "Mom, you're so cruel to your own sons.
"The only person who has inherited your teachings is my younger sister. Even if we live for another few decades, we might not be your match."
The old madam pretended that she didn't hear what he said. She smiled and asked Ye Jian, "What about your eldest uncle? Did he make things difficult for you? Don't be afraid. With Grandma around, there's nothing to worry about."
With Grandma around…
Li Jinnian silently took a few small steps back and hurriedly entered the ward when no one was looking.
He really couldn't continue listening. The more he listened to the conversation between the elders of the Xia family… the more frightened he beca.
