"The best choice? I don't know what the best choice is?"
The old man stared at the people present with a half-smile, his gaze unbearable.
“Brother-in-law, the Ye family is no small family. Every move they make involves the interests of many people behind the scenes, doesn’t it? So, since things have already happened and there’s no going back, the best choice is to minimize the damage, isn’t it?”
That's a good point.
You keep mentioning the Ye family, but do you think the Ye family will listen to you?
The old man didn't seem very interested; after all, he hadn't heard any interesting answers.
Madam Ye's second sister-in-law gave a few awkward laughs. There was nothing she could do; she was the one asking for help now.
As for saving face, that's long gone.
For the sake of wealth and status, face and such are not important.
"Brother-in-law, how about this? We'll send that child away, send him abroad, and he'll never appear in your sight again. That way, there'll be no need for outsiders to know about this, okay?"
The old man revealed a cold sneer:
"You've got a pretty good plan!"
You've taken all the benefits.
What about the Ye family?
What did the Ye family gain?
It seems like we didn't get anything, did we?
Oh, I got the son of Old Wang next door for free!
Is this considered a benefit?
If this is considered a benefit, then whoever wants it can take it!
When the old man bluntly stated it, the woman's second sister-in-law felt very uncomfortable and remained silent.
The eldest and second eldest brothers from the bride's family discussed the matter silently for a while, and it seemed they had come up with a solution:
"Brother-in-law, look, we're all getting on in years, and the Ye family is an upper-class family. It's not good to have rumors spread, is it?"
It was indeed our fault; we didn't educate my sister well. We will take her back to live with us for a while, but this marriage, brother-in-law, we can't get a divorce!
They're divorced; the truth will eventually come out!
"Brother-in-law, the Ye family's children all have bright futures. Shouldn't you consider their future too? We can't let the older generation's affairs ruin their prospects, can we? That would be a huge loss, wouldn't it?"
The old man had heard these words and had been considering them.
Given the Ye family's embarrassing situation and the children's future, Old Master Ye would definitely choose to protect the children's future.
As for the joke, the old lady's family had figured out the old man's weakness and knew what choice he would make.
Therefore, as long as the old man himself doesn't say anything, and the Ye family doesn't say anything, this matter will continue to be a secret unknown to outsiders.
Seeing a slight softening in the old man's expression, the old lady's family continued:
"Brother-in-law, the Ye family wants to acquire that piece of land in the suburbs, right? Coincidentally, this project is in charge of by our Yan'er. As compensation, the Ye family won't need to pay a single penny for that land. Tomorrow, that land will belong to the Ye family!"
The piece of land mentioned by the old lady's family was indeed a considerable temptation.
It's important to know that many families in Kyoto are eyeing that piece of land covetously. The Ye family naturally wants it too, but the competition is too fierce. Even if the Gu family doesn't participate this time, it will still be difficult for the Ye family to successfully acquire it, and they might not even succeed.
But now that the old lady's family has guaranteed that the land can be acquired, the old man naturally has something to consider.
It's not about worldly concerns; even large families have their own difficulties.
Do you know how many people a family has to support?
Besides family members, there are also subordinates and others. If you calculate these expenses carefully, it will definitely be an astronomical sum.
