However, the next moment, the old lady spoke again, which stunned many people inside and outside.
"Ye Yutang, that's your own brother! Stop it!"
My younger brother?
Outside the house, the two married aunts from the Ye family who had just arrived couldn't help but exchange glances:
"Big sister, do you know about this?"
"As far back as I can remember, I've only had two older brothers."
"Then why did Mother say that about my cousin...?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? See for yourself!"
As for the old lady's elder brother, who had just walked to the door and was about to go in to persuade people, he stood frozen at the door.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Chief of Staff Ye, on the other hand, finally let go. He had received confirmation from his own mother and saw no need to touch this 'cousin' anymore.
No need, it'll get your hands dirty!
To the astonishment of almost everyone, Old Master Ye stood up, his gaze sweeping over Old Madam Ye and everyone around him before he spoke:
"Come to the living room, everyone."
...
In the living room, the old lady also came out this time; her chair had been moved to the guest seating area next to her.
Clearly, Old Master Ye has made up his mind.
Although Madam Ye was somewhat dazed, she didn't say anything more. However, her eldest brother and another nephew from her maternal family always seemed to want to speak.
Who could accept losing their wealth and status just like that?
But this is not a simple matter like other things.
Many years ago, it was indeed Madam Ye who did something that wronged the Ye family and Old Master Ye, and her maternal family chose to cover it up for the sake of so-called wealth and status.
More than forty years have passed, and no one expected that the truth would come out.
The old man had already explained everything in the backyard. The divorce papers, already written and signed, were now on the coffee table, waiting for Madam Ye to sign them.
Although marriage certificates and divorce certificates were already common at this time, for people of the old man's age, a divorce certificate signed by hand was still more formal.
As for the rest, someone will take care of it later, so there's no need to worry.
The eldest brother from the bride's family tried to speak several times but failed each time. Finally, this time he succeeded.
"Brother-in-law, do you think we should discuss this matter again? The impact is... a bit too great, isn't it?"
What kind of family is the Ye family?
If the old man really divorces the old lady, that would be nothing short of a bombshell of humor.
This will definitely have an impact on the Ye family's various developments; there's no doubt about that.
"No need!"
The old man is sensible and won't be easily swayed by others.
There will certainly be an impact, but the Ye family is not so easily affected.
At most, there will be some obstacles.
None of this matters!
The eldest brother from the maternal family clearly intended to say something more, but after a long silence, Old Madam Ye finally spoke up:
"That's settled then, brother, I'll go back with you."
Upon hearing the old lady's words, the eldest brother from the maternal family couldn't help but speak up:
"What are you talking about? How old are we? How many more years can we live? For something like this to come out at this time, not to mention us, what about our descendants? How will they face people in the future?"
Indeed, many things are not that important.
However, the younger generations of both families don't have it so easy outside. At the very least, they are not immune to gossip and pointing fingers.
"Brother, you said it yourself, we're both this old now, before we die, could you grant me this one request? Let me leave this place!"
