Ye Lao Si immediately noticed that Miss Zhou was in a bad mood. He quickly reached out and held his wife's hand, then whispered in her ear, "Don't think too much. It has nothing to do with you."
Sure enough, I heard Old Lady Ye continue, "In fact, the current state of our family is not much different from the split family.
"I mentioned before that we wanted to split up the family business, but the eldest, second, and third sons all said they wanted to wait until the fourth son got married.
"Now you four brothers have finally started families and have established your own livelihoods.
"I'm old now, and it's time to divide this family."
After Old Lady Ye finished speaking, Boss Ye spoke first: "Mom, you also said that what we are doing now is not much different from dividing the family. We don't have any conflicts, so why do we have to divide the family specifically!"
"There are no brothers in this world who will stay together forever. I have already thought about splitting up the family.
"Especially since our family doesn't have much property, just a house and land.
"It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Qingshan's family is here today, so I can quickly settle this matter and feel at ease."
"Mom, who will you live with after the family splits up?" Ye Lao San frowned and asked, "You don't want to stay in the village, do you?"
"What's wrong with me staying in the village? There's nothing wrong with that."
"Mother, look at my eldest brother. The fourth brother and I are both in the capital now. The second brother is the only one left in the village. Even the second sister-in-law is doing business in the capital. If you stay here, there will be no one to take care of you. It will be inconvenient for us to see you. Why don't you come and live in the capital with us?"
When Ye Laoer heard this, he was surprised to see that they were fighting over his mother before the family was even divided?
"Third brother, what are you saying? Are you worried that I can't take good care of mom or what?"
"Brother, you are good at farming, but you can't do anything like washing clothes or cooking. How can you take good care of Mom?
"Besides, the children are all studying in the capital now. Doesn't mother miss grandchildren?"
Boss Ye also said: "Yes, mother, we are all in the capital, you can live wherever you want when you come.
"If you lived in the village, we could come back to see you often, but the children have to study. What should we do if they miss you?"
When she heard them mention the children, Mrs. Ye hesitated.
Ye Laoer suddenly became anxious. If even his mother was taken to the city by them, wouldn't he be left alone in the village?
That would be too lonely!
"You can hire someone to do the laundry and cooking; it's not a big deal.
"Besides, my mother has people to chat with in the village. It would be so boring to live in the capital!
"If you miss mom, come back more often!"
Miss Zhou was stunned watching from the side.
She was already old enough to remember when the previous generation of the Zhou family split up, and she still remembers vividly what a mess it was.
I occasionally hear the servants at home say that people in the countryside are very calculating when dividing up property. They would even fight over a basin, a bowl, or even the manure in the pigpen.
But now, seeing the Ye family split up, no one cares about real estate and land at all. They all want Old Madam Ye, which is really unique.
What my parents said was indeed right. I really made the right choice of my in-laws.
Thinking of this, Miss Zhou mustered up the courage and said, "Mother, why don't you come to the capital and live with us? I will take care of you.
“I know that our house in the capital has used up all of my mother’s savings.
"Besides, we got married late, and my three brothers and sister-in-law have already contributed so much to this family. It's our turn to do more."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Si looked at Miss Zhou in surprise. This was exactly what he was thinking.
So he immediately said, “Yes, mother, what my wife said is what I want to say.
"I have been taken care of by my brothers and sisters-in-law for so many years. Even my marriage was entirely thanks to the help of my mother and my brothers and sisters-in-law.
"Now that I'm married, my job in the Imperial Guard is stable, and I only have to work two night shifts a month.
"So the two of us can definitely take good care of Mom."
Hearing that her sons and daughters-in-law were vying to support her, Old Mrs. Ye felt very happy.
However, she still raised her hand and pressed it down, saying, "Don't be anxious, listen to me talk about the division of the family.
"First of all, the newly built house at home will belong to you. This yard belongs to me. I will leave it to sunny days after I die."
After saying this, Old Lady Ye turned her head and looked at Qingtian beside her and said, "Grandma knows that this country house means nothing to you, but it is a token of my love..."
Qingtian put his arm around Old Lady Ye's arm and said, "Grandma, don't say that. I'm happy with whatever you give me."
After hearing what Qingtian said, Old Lady Ye smiled again. She turned to look at her four sons and daughters-in-law and asked, "Do you have any objections to this?"
Ye Lao Er, Ye Lao San and Ye Lao Si all shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection.
Only Boss Ye and his wife looked at each other, not knowing whether to nod or shake their heads.
Old Madam Ye simply skipped over them and continued, "I don't plan to give you these dozens of acres of land at home for the time being. They will all be under my name.
"Now the second brother is farming and paying me rent every year is enough for me to live on. When I am gone, you brothers can divide it up."
As Old Mrs. Ye spoke, she looked at Old Second Ye and his wife.
The two of them nodded quickly and said, "Just do as mother says. We have no objection."
"Okay, if you have no objections to these, then the only thing left is the old house at home." Old Mrs. Ye said, looking at Ye Qingshan and his wife beside her, "Let's give this house to Qingshan!"
Ye Qingshan originally came here to be a witness, but he never expected that he himself was involved in this.
