It was only after her mother questioned her that she realized she liked him.
"I wouldn't say I like her, but I do have a certain fondness for her," Ye Caiping said.
She couldn't hide this from Ye Jin'er and lie to her that it was just brotherly and sisterly affection.
Ye Jin'er will grow up eventually and understand many things. The fear is that she might suddenly not be able to adapt, and end up making Ye Peng her unattainable ideal.
The only thing I can do is break it down and talk to her about it.
Ye Caiping raised an eyebrow: "Then let me ask you. Do you want to marry him?"
"And then I spent every single day with him."
"Your second aunt will be your mother-in-law then."
Ye Jin'er's face contorted in shock as she listened: "I...I don't want to!"
She has a lot to do and doesn't want to be with him every day. She feels that this isn't the kind of life she wants.
And her second aunt is her mother-in-law?
That won't do, absolutely not.
Although her second aunt wasn't a bad person, she just couldn't bring herself to like her.
Especially after the family became wealthy, my second aunt became increasingly troublesome.
Even though his family is wealthy, they didn't try to help Yinhua with her studies.
What's wrong with paying someone to help you or hiring someone?
Yinhua had to go back to feed the pigs and chickens.
My second aunt also said that it's useless for girls to learn too many things, and she never supported Yinhua learning anything in the first place.
If I really go into her house, won't I be controlled by her?
She's perfectly fine, why should she suffer like this?
Ye Caiping curled her lips. Hmph, you little brat, I can't handle you!
He used to have some feelings for her, but now that she's laid bare all the obstacles and realities between them, those feelings will be gone forever.
Ye Caiping said, "I have something else to tell you. Cousins cannot get married. If they do, there is a high chance they will have a mentally challenged child."
Jin'er and Huan'er were both shocked when they heard this.
Ye Jin'er asked, "Really? Really?"
"Of course. You trust me."
The two daughters nodded without hesitation: "We believe in Mother."
It was their mother who pulled them out of the mire step by step, enabling them to live a good life. Therefore, they had absolute trust in Ye Caiping.
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Jin'er: "Jin'er, what do you do now?"
Ye Jin'er took a light breath: "From now on, my relationship with my third cousin will only be that of siblings, just like with my eldest and second cousins."
The words "born with a mental disability" terrified her.
And putting aside the fact that she gave birth to a mentally challenged child, just the fact that Ms. Wei was her mother-in-law... it's terrifying to even think about.
Also, ever since she started taking classes at the Shen family's house, she felt that Ye Peng was a bit silly and they couldn't connect with each other.
...
After Ye Caiping left, everyone in the main room looked at each other in bewilderment.
Old Mrs. Ye stared intently at Madam Wei: "Second son, what are you planning?"
Du Shi, Jin Hua, Ye Xuan, Ye Yong, and even Ye Daquan all stared at Wei Shi in shock.
Madam Wei's expression changed drastically, and she dared not utter a sound.
Ye Peng, his face pale, stood blankly to the side.
Grandma Ye was so angry she almost threw the teacup at him: "Even if you don't say it, I know what you're thinking! How could our family produce such a heartless person like you?"
Madam Wei looked at Old Madam Ye with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean, 'black-hearted'? Mother, how can you say that about me?"
Ye Erquan said, "Don't you know what you've done?"
"What do I know?" Mrs. Wei felt utterly wronged.
"Alright, stop arguing, let's talk this out." Old Man Ye said coldly, staring intently at Madam Wei: "Second daughter-in-law, tell me what you're really thinking."
Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Madam Wei stopped hiding it and simply said, "What else could I be thinking? I just want to strengthen our family ties! This is a joyous occasion!"
"Wei Siya!" Ye Erquan roared, "You—"
"Second brother, don't interrupt, let her speak first." Old Man Ye glanced at him.
Ye Erquan pursed his lips, swallowing back the words that were about to come out, but his chest heaved as he held it in.
Under the murderous gazes of Ye Daquan and Old Lady Ye, Madam Wei took a deep breath:
"Father, Mother, I don't know why you're so angry. I didn't steal or rob anyone! I genuinely want to marry Jin'er and make her my daughter-in-law."
"Think about it, Jin'er and Huan'er will get married eventually. Instead of looking for strangers outside, it's better to find someone you know well."
"Peng'er and Jin'er have known each other since childhood and know each other well. What's wrong with this marriage?"
Grandma Ye was so angry she was trembling, but she held back her anger and said, "I disagree."
"Why don't you agree? Mother, whose side are you on? Are you on my sister's side? Or on mine? What, do you look down on Peng'er that much, Mother?"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she looked extremely aggrieved:
"I know that Peng'er isn't as good at studying as Xuan'er, and he's not a scholar, but he's still your grandson!"
Ye Peng stared blankly at Old Madam Ye; Ye Jin'er's indifference had already hurt him enough.
And now Grandma still looks down on him so much...
At this moment, he felt embarrassed, awkward, and sad.
When Grandma Ye met Ye Peng's gaze, she paused, then said angrily, "That's not what I meant. Peng'er is of course good."
"If it's a good thing, then why can't he marry Jin'er?"
These words left Grandma Ye and her husband speechless.
Why can't I marry him?
Of course we can't afford it!
But how could the old couple say such things in front of Ye Peng?
“I don’t agree to this marriage.” At this moment, Ye Caiping and Ye Huan’er walked out together.
When Madam Wei saw that it was Ye Caiping, her face turned pale and then red: "Little sister, why don't you agree? Peng'er is someone you watched grow up, what's wrong with him?"
Hearing this, Ye Caiping almost laughed. This was moral blackmail! If she disagreed, it would be seen as saying Ye Peng was bad!
