Outside the door.
The discussion continued.
Ye Sheng couldn't take it anymore and looked at Ye Beiping with a somewhat gloomy gaze: "Beiping, didn't you come to pick up your grandfather to celebrate the New Year? Pick him up right now."
If this continues, he doesn't know how he'll be able to stay in the village any longer.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and turned their attention to Ye Beiping.
Tao Qiuyan's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Ye Beiping.
If Ye Jianguo were brought back at this time, Ye Beiping would definitely be seen as the most filial son in the villagers' eyes.
Ye Beiping is now rich, and all that's left is his reputation. His reputation wasn't very good before, but it might change today. How could Tao Qiuyan not be happy?
In contrast, Ye Beiping remained very calm. How could he not know what Ye Sheng was thinking?
He cannot easily give up the situation he has worked so hard to achieve today.
They won't let go until they've completely exploited Ye Sheng.
"Second Uncle, I don't think you're interested in continuing to take care of Grandpa in his old age. Why don't we talk about it today to avoid future disputes?"
This statement was met with agreement from the crowd.
Since things have escalated to this point, it's essential to clarify things beforehand; otherwise, disputes are inevitable.
Given Jiang Enhua's track record, everyone was worried for Ye Beiping's family.
At the same time, we admire Ye Beiping very much. Although we haven’t seen how Ye Jianguo has treated Ye Beiping over the years, we have heard a lot about it. We never expected that Ye Beiping would be willing to take him to live with him in his old age.
Ye Sheng looked at Ye Beiping with resentment in his eyes: "Fine, you tell me what to do."
The situation was not favorable for him to continue his entanglement, so he had no choice but to compromise.
"My mother and I came here today to pick up my grandfather for the New Year." Ye Beiping glanced at Ye Sheng and Jiang Enhua with disdain, then turned to the crowd and said, "As you all know, I will definitely be going back to Hangzhou. I will only come back for holidays. Since I am going to pick up my grandfather, I will definitely take on the responsibility of taking care of him in his old age."
"However, my father is my grandfather's son, and you, Second Uncle, are also my grandfather's son. My grandfather wasn't doing well, so I took him in as a grandson to show filial piety. But that doesn't mean you, Second Uncle, don't need to take care of him in his old age. Everyone agrees on that, right?"
Those around him agreed.
Wu Guangfa, with his sharp eyes, followed up on Ye Beiping's words: "Beiping is right. Ye Sheng, as a son, you also have a responsibility to support your parents in their old age."
Ye Sheng remained silent, unable to deny it.
This has been the way of tradition since ancient times.
If you show no interest in retirement now, you'll probably be gossiped about behind your back in the future.
What happened today is enough for everyone to laugh at him for a year.
Ye Beiping gave Wu Guangfa an approving look, then turned to Ye Sheng and said, "Second Uncle, I'm not being unreasonable. How about this, I'll take my grandfather away, and you can give me two yuan a month as his retirement money..."
"You're dreaming." Before Ye Beiping could continue speaking, Jiang Enhua spoke up viciously.
Everyone was stunned.
Two yuan a month isn't much.
Immediately, an old man stood up, pointed at Jiang Enhua, and said, "Ye Sheng's wife, what do you mean? Are you saying you don't want to pay this money?"
It was only then that Jiang Enhua belatedly realized that his side was in the wrong to begin with.
But the thought of having to give Ye Beiping two yuan every month made her heart ache terribly.
It wasn't much, but she wasn't happy about it.
In the past, it was always Tao Qiuyan's family who asked her for money and food. How could they possibly give money to Ye Beiping's family?
For every one person who stands up, many more elderly people will stand up to criticize.
“Ye Sheng’s wife, I think Beiping is already very kind. Two yuan a month isn’t even enough for two jin of meat, this is already very cheap.”
"Exactly, otherwise you can raise it yourself."
"I think Ye Sheng's wife just doesn't want to raise the child, and she doesn't want to spend any money either."
...
Amidst these accusations, Ye Beiping merely curled the corners of his lips slightly, without participating in the protests.
He certainly knew why these elderly people had stood up.
Don't assume that just because they haven't read many books, they're not smart. Standing up at this time is to defend their rights in their old age.
When people get too old to work, it is the children's duty to support them in their old age.
If they don't stand up today, their own children will do the same, and there will be no place to reason with them.
This applies to everyone in the world.
Ye Sheng glared at Jiang Enhua. Although he usually gave in to her, when it came to matters of principle, a man still needed to stand up and make the decision.
Looking at Ye Beiping, Ye Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Two yuan a month... I'll pay."
His gritted teeth made it clear to everyone that he was unwilling.
Now that they've agreed, no one can really say anything.
Only Jiang Enhua stood to the side, still looking unconvinced.
Ye Beiping smiled slightly: "Then I'll thank Second Uncle on behalf of Grandpa. Also, since I'm taking care of Grandpa in his old age, doesn't our family own half of Grandpa's old house?"
Forehead......
Everyone looked at Ye Beiping with surprise.
Did Ye Beiping take a liking to that dilapidated house?
Jiang Enhua couldn't take it anymore: "You're dreaming! That's our Southeast family's territory, what right do you have?"
Ye Beiping rolled his eyes at these words, speechless.
She spread her hands at Ye Sheng and everyone else and said, "As you all see, how can we continue the discussion if my second aunt is like this?"
Wu Guangfa also stepped forward to offer some words of comfort: "Ye Sheng's wife, this is where you're wrong. Your family is unwilling to support you in your old age, but Beiping is willing to step forward, so he definitely has the right to a share of the house."
