Although Old Lady Ye was tough with Guo, she couldn't help but sigh after coming out of their room.
Back in the day in the village, everyone envied the Ye family for the unity among the brothers and the harmony among the sisters-in-law. Who would have thought that they would end up marrying such a troublesome person.
But Old Mrs. Ye still had some old-fashioned ideas. No matter what, when something like this happened at home, her first reaction was to try to cover it up and solve it internally. It would be too embarrassing to let it get out.
Now that Guo is really pregnant, no matter how angry she is, she has to think about the child and can only take the responsibility of this matter herself.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Ye stood up and went to Old Master Ye's room in person.
At this time, Captain Zhang had already left, and only Boss Ye was lying on the bed.
"Mom, why are you here?" Boss Ye wanted to get up when he saw her enter the room.
"Hurry up and lie down. Why are you getting up?" Old Mrs. Ye said hurriedly, "Is your back serious? How is it doing?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Boss Ye turned over and sat up, but he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's because of that that I was allowed to rest for a few more days, but Qingtian remembered it.
"You didn't go study with Mr. Wei today, so you just come to see me all the time. It makes me feel like a thief when I want to move around."
"There should be someone who can control you." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye also smiled along with her son, "Qingtian is a really good kid. You two didn't make a mistake."
"By the way, where are your wife and Qingtian?"
"Mom, my wife took the children out to buy candied haws." Seeing that Old Lady Ye was talking here and there, Old Master Ye knew that she must have something to say. "There are no outsiders in the room, so just say whatever you want to say."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye sighed deeply.
Boss Ye couldn't bear to see her in such a difficult situation, so he took the initiative to say, "Mom, I know what you want to say.
"Actually, I've discussed this with my wife. Now that the banknotes have been recovered, let's put this matter behind us!"
Old Mrs. Ye never expected that Boss Ye would actually say this on his own initiative.
It would be fine if it was her own son, but she was really surprised to hear her daughter-in-law say that.
"Did your wife really say that?"
Boss Ye nodded and said, "She said that we were also at fault in this matter and were too careless.
"Firstly, we are now living with the Qin family. If things get out of hand, we will be laughed at and it will bring shame to our Ye family.
"Secondly, although the Fourth Brother's wife did something dishonest, it wasn't the Fourth Brother's fault. The Fourth Brother was raised by us, and we didn't want him to be embarrassed and become alienated from us in the future.
"Thirdly, mother must have scolded them. As long as they don't do it again, I won't mention anything else."
After hearing what Boss Ye said, Old Lady Ye couldn't help but sigh.
We are all wives, so why is there such a big difference between us?
But there are some things that Old Mrs. Ye still needs to make clear to her eldest son.
"It's really not that Mom doesn't want to help you or is partial to the fourth brother's family.
"I have to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. When I found out about this, I wanted to ask the fourth brother to divorce his wife.
"Who knew that by such a coincidence, Guo was actually pregnant!
"At first I thought Guo was lying, but after asking a doctor to check her pulse, it turned out she was pregnant.
"Even though Mom doesn't care about the fourth child or her, she has to consider the child's sake. I can only let you two suffer."
"Mom, as long as Fourth Brother's wife can recognize her mistakes and live a peaceful life with the Fourth Brother, that will be enough."
"Fortunately, you are all good children who know the big picture, otherwise I wouldn't know where to put my old face." Old Mrs. Ye said with great relief.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lao Da suddenly said, "But, mother, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Hearing these words, Old Lady Ye's heart was pounding.
Generally speaking, after saying this, what follows will not be good things.
"Dear mother, if there is anything you should or shouldn't say, just tell me."
Then I heard Ye Laoda say: "After we return to our hometown and settle down, it's about time to consider dividing the family.
"We didn't split up the family originally because the fourth son hadn't married yet, but now he's about to become a father.
"We escaped from the famine and came here without a house or a piece of land. It will be easier for us to divide the family."
Old Mrs. Ye was stunned by Boss Ye's sudden words.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about dividing the family. Sooner or later, her sons will have to separate when they grow up.
But what she didn't expect was that these words would come from the mouth of her eldest son who was the most hardworking and selfless.
But it makes sense. The eldest couple is having a good life now, but the fourth son's wife is so disappointing.
The ideas of the eldest couple will definitely be very different from before.
Seeing that Old Lady Ye didn't say anything after he finished speaking, Boss Ye continued, "Don't worry, mother, whether we divide the family or not, you are still our mother.
"We both have no objection to whoever you choose to live with.
"When it comes to being filial to you, we will contribute money and effort, and we will never ignore you."
The meaning of what Boss Ye said was very clear, but Old Lady Ye did not dare to agree directly for the moment.
"Okay, Boss, I'll keep this in mind.
"But firstly, no one knows what the situation is like back home; secondly, it wouldn't look good if we started to separate right after arriving.
"Let's go there first and see what the situation is, okay?"
"Okay, mother, don't worry." Boss Ye looked at Old Madam Ye's expression and immediately felt a little sorry for her. His originally tough attitude softened a little. "I just mentioned it casually. I don't mean to force you to separate the family as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, mother knows what's going on."
Although Old Lady Ye said this, her figure as she stood up and walked out made people feel a little lonely and pitiful.
Although Boss Ye was a little worried about Old Lady Ye, he still stood firm on his position on this matter.
Even brothers will become distracted after being together for a long time, let alone sisters-in-law.
It will come sooner or later, so it’s not a bad thing for Old Mrs. Ye to start thinking about it now and prepare herself mentally.
As soon as Old Mrs. Ye went out, she saw Mrs. Ye coming back from outside with Qingtian in her arms and several children.
Everyone was holding a candied haws in their hands and eating it happily.
"Mom, what's the matter with you coming here?" Mrs. Ye saw Old Madam Ye standing at the door of her room and hurried over to ask.
"It's okay, I just came to see how the boss's injury is." Old Mrs. Ye said, "I was just wondering, no wonder the inn is so quiet, it turns out you took those naughty monkeys away."
Qingtian was in Mrs. Ye's arms. She held up a candied haws and placed it near Mrs. Ye's mouth, saying, "Grandma, have some!"
"Oh my dear, you even remember to give food to grandma! How can you be so cute and lovable!"
Old Mrs. Ye reached out and touched Qingtian’s little face.
"But grandma is old and can't eat this kind of stuff anymore.
"I have acid reflux in my stomach after eating. Just eat it yourself!"
