Grandma Hua and her family overheard their conversation. Hua Chenyue, unafraid, stood tall and said to everyone, "Grandma, Mom and Dad, I know my thoughts are a bit ridiculous. But I know exactly what I want. I was so immature before, lying in bed for so many years, causing you all so much worry. It was Li Ying who awakened my will and my desire to live. When I see her, I feel joyful, happy, and content."
Hua gently patted her younger brother and said, "Stop talking, okay? You silly child, praising your sister-in-law so much in front of Ye Wenchi. What will he think of Li Ying as his sister-in-law later?"
"I've heard about Li Ying. She's going to divorce Ye Jingchi in a year, right?" Grandma Hua asked seriously.
Hua Chenyue nodded, her eyes sparkling: "Grandma, I can wait!"
Grandma Hua snorted: "If you can wait, why did you choose to go to the countryside?"
Hua Chenyue lowered his head: "Grandma, going to the countryside is our youth's aspiration."
"So you still want to marry Li Ying? Don't you understand the principle of proximity? Outstanding people are never short of suitors. If you want to pursue Li Ying, you can't be too far away."
Hua Qingqing and Hua Chenyue exchanged a glance. They had thought that their grandmother would scold Hua Chenyue for his nonsense, but to their surprise, their grandmother supported Hua Chenyue.
Ye Wenchi, who was standing to the side, frowned as he listened.
Are all the members of the Hua family idiots?
Li Ying, a woman pregnant with the child of some unknown man, is actually worth the Hua family going to great lengths to get close to?
"Mom, look at you, your son-in-law is still here." Hua's mother tugged at Hua's grandmother.
This old lady is so shameless.
Grandma Hua looked at Ye Wenchi and smiled apologetically: "Wenchi, please don't take what I just said to heart. Chenyue is a simple-minded child; he likes someone, that's all. Besides, I heard that Li Ying has already moved out of the Ye family and will divorce Ye Jingchi sooner or later. Our Hua family values reputation, but we understand gratitude even more. Li Ying saved my grandson's life; she is our Hua family's benefactor. She was all alone in the capital, having to give birth and raise a child. After joining our Hua family, these difficulties are nothing."
Ye Wenchi's lips twitched. "You can do that?!"
I must say, Li Ying is quite capable; even the notoriously picky Grandma Hua was willing to let her beloved grandson marry a pregnant woman.
On the way back, Ye Wenchi listened carefully to Hua Qingqing recount Li Ying's story again.
"You mean the Jing family member also agreed to let Li Ying treat his leg?"
"Yes, I could talk about Li Ying's good qualities for three days and three nights, and she even promised to make incense for me. Since we can't be sisters-in-law, it would be nice if she could be my brother's wife."
Hua Qingqing rolled her eyes at Ye Wenchi.
It's your Ye family's fault for being so short-sighted.
Back home, I heard that Ye Zhonghong took Jiang Nuannuan to the military base to find Ye Jingchi.
Ye Wenchi was furious and slammed his fist on the table: "Ye Zhonghong, do you even have a brain?!"
Ye Zhonghong pouted, feeling wronged. It was one thing for her third brother to call her brainless, but even her second brother was calling her brainless. What did she do wrong?
"Second brother..."
"Starting today, her food allowance will be reduced! Also, after the New Year, let her go to the countryside with the main group to teach this blockhead a lesson!" Ye Wenchi was furious.
With his father away, Ye Jingchi was the one in charge of managing the entire Ye family. Ye Jingchi's actions were already enough to annoy him, and now his brainless sister was adding to the chaos. When did the Ye family become so stupid?
"Second brother, you can't make me go to the countryside. I've heard that it's hard work there, I won't go," Ye Zhonghong cried.
"Second brother, Zhonghong didn't mean any harm, she just didn't think things through," Chunxue said, trying to smooth things over for Ye Zhonghong.
Ye Zhonghong gratefully took Chunxue's arm: "Sister-in-law, you still love me the most."
Chunxue gently pulled her arm away, her tone soft but with a hint of reproach: "But taking Jiang Nuannuan to the military base was a very wrong thing to do. Your third brother and sister-in-law are not divorced yet. What impact would it have on your third brother's future if the military found out about this?"
Ye Zhonghong was terrified, realizing how dangerous her actions were.
"I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't think that much about it."
"You don't use your brain when you do things, what's the difference between you and a blockhead! Go back inside and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to leave the house without my permission!"
Ye Wenchi gave the order.
Ye Zhonghong had no choice but to obediently return to her room.
Chunxue glanced at Ye Wenchi, not quite understanding why the second son was so angry today, but didn't ask any further questions. She smiled faintly and said, "I'll go check on the kitchen."
After saying that, he walked out of the front hall.
Hua sat quietly to the side, saying nothing, only smiling slightly.
Ye Zhonghong's brainless actions were incredibly stupid. No wonder Ye Wenchi was so angry. If she had such a stupid sister, she would probably be furious to death.
The Ye family had just established themselves in the capital, relying not only on him, the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also on the sacrifice of the eldest son of the Ye family and Ye Jingchi's military achievements.
However, Ye Jingchi was appointed as a battalion commander at a young age, which made many people resentful, and many were waiting to find fault with him.
Therefore, the Ye family had to carefully consider every step they took, while Ye Zhonghong, on the other hand, rushed forward headlong into things.
Ye Wenchi suddenly realized something: "Jingchi made a mistake at the celebration banquet after the flood relief efforts in Donghu. Was Jiang Nuannuan in Donghu at that time?"
Hua gently shook her head: "I don't know."
Ye Wenchi noticed something illogical about this. "When Jingchi comes back, have him come to my room."
The flower nodded gently.
Li Ying spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at her junior brother's house. After dinner, Lu Qingzhu personally escorted Li Ying back to the courtyard house.
"Junior brother, I've arrived. You can go back now."
"Are you sure you can manage on your own?"
Tian Li went back to reunite with his family, and Aunt Yang was also sent back to reunite with her family by Li Ying. Only Li Ying was left in the courtyard, which made Lu Qingzhu feel uneasy.
"Sister Ying!" Zhou Qi walked out of the courtyard: "I'm back!"
"Junior brother, it's alright, Zhou Qi is here!"
Lu Qingzhu also had to go back to be with her parents, and said to Zhou Qi, "Protect my junior sister!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will!" Zhou Qi was not good with words.
Li Ying turned and walked into the courtyard, with Zhou Qi following behind her.
Many candles were lit in the courtyard, making it brightly lit everywhere.
"You ordered it?"
Zhou Qi touched his nose: "No."
Li Ying was suspicious. She turned around again and saw Hua Chenyue walking over with a lotus lantern in his hand.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Yingying!"
Li Ying smiled and thought, "Only a little kid would come up with something so romantic."
"Hua Chenyue, thank you for your thoughtfulness, but please don't do this again next time."
Hua Chenyue's face immediately fell: "Sister Yingying, why do you always reject me?"
"Because I don't like dating boys younger than me. Hua Chenyue, you need to focus your efforts on the right person, otherwise you'll only be indulging in self-pity and ending up hurting yourself. Zhou Qi, take Hua Shao home, I need to rest!"
