Compared with the previous Xie Di and Sun Youfang, she is nothing.
Yin Yunjie, on the other hand, looked calm, as if everything had been expected.
He spoke slowly, "It's fine if we don't split up the family. We can just sever all ties completely. Even if we split up, we still have to pay for the elderly care. Severing kinship is a simpler and easier decision."
After these words were spoken, the Yin family had not yet recovered from their shock, but Ni Yuan was already jumping up and down anxiously: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? This is not a joke! If the higher-ups knew about this, they would say you have ideological problems. Your future in life will not be able to withstand such nonsense!"
In the crowd of Yin family members, eyes met and pointed directly at Yin Yunjie.
There was a hint of cunning in their expressions, as if they had found a thin rope that could strangle Yin Yunjie's throat.
Yin Yunjie stood there, his face calm, and the words he uttered were as calm as a spring breeze blowing away the winter snow: "It's okay, at worst I can retire and go home to farm."
These words sound light-hearted, but the determination and independence contained in them can't help but make people's hearts tremble.
His eyes were deep, and he seemed so detached from the family's power struggles and constraints.
The expressions of the Yin family and Ni Yuan were in sharp contrast, and everyone's expression told a story.
The faces of the Yin family were filled with shock and resentment, and suddenly cracks appeared on their faces.
The barely perceptible smile on Ni Yuan's lips showed a subtle sympathy and appreciation for Yin Yunjie's "foolishness".
The small print at the end of the contract, which had been almost ignored, now became the focus.
That was the result of Yin Yunjie's early years of arguing with the village chief, and it was a solid line of defense for self-protection.
Even at a young age, he had already demonstrated wisdom and foresight beyond his age, laying the groundwork for a flexible turnaround in his future.
The elders of the Yin family initially regarded it as the nonsense of a child, and never expected that it would become an embarrassment that they could not avoid in the future.
The news spread like a gust of wind, instantly spreading inside and outside the banquet hall. The crowd surged, and curious eyes gathered together.
The sounds of discussion and sighs intertwined together, noisy yet full of vitality.
Old Man Yin's voice rang out amid the clamor, penetrating all the noise.
His eyes were like knives, piercing straight at Yin Yunjie, and his anger was mixed with disappointment and resentment that was difficult to conceal.
"Third brother, are you going to force me into a desperate situation today?"
In this tense atmosphere, Xu Qinghe finally couldn't hold back anymore. She glanced around, her heart filled with indignation.
She couldn't stand the unfair accusations, especially coming from an elder who often acted like a rogue.
Her presence illuminated this corner.
"Father, you can't say that." Her voice was firm yet gentle, and every word struck people's hearts.
Her eyes were full of determination as she looked straight at Old Man Yin.
"The division of the family was originally agreed upon many years ago. Today is merely an ending that should have come a long time ago. How can you say it was forced? What really pushed Yin Yunjie into despair was not the decision to exempt his elder brother from military service, which was made out of concern for him, and the ruthless decision to place such a heavy burden on him."
Her words were like a spring breeze, blowing through the hardest corners of people's hearts.
"For so many years, he's been alone outside. Has anyone ever offered him even a shred of warmth? Where were you when he needed you most? To him, the warmth of family seems to exist only in the exchange of cold silver and benefits."
"Now, when marriage has become an excuse to stop paying, have any of you truly considered Yin Yunjie's happiness? Yin Yunjie's decision is nothing more than the result of long-term heartbreak. In the face of this clear-cut contract, any excuse is futile. If there is a real dispute, the law will render a fair judgment."
Yin Yunjie looked at Xu Qinghe in surprise. She usually kept a low profile.
But at this moment he stood up like a warrior and spoke for him.
A warm feeling rose in his heart, a feeling he had never felt before.
Just when the atmosphere was becoming tense, Old Lady Yin suddenly jumped up from the ground.
As if her last bit of fighting spirit had been aroused, her eyes were sharp as she pointed directly at Xu Qinghe: "You have no right to speak!"
At this moment, the entire scene seemed to freeze, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became thicker and thicker.
An indescribable warmth surged in Yin Yunjie's heart. He had never expected that Xu Qinghe would stand up for him.
Although her voice was firm, the slight tremor revealed her inner nervousness, which made her even more brave and fearless.
Her eyes were like torches, staring straight at the people in front of her.
Yin Yunjie felt the warmth of the palm on his chest, where a force was slowly gathering.
He looked at Xu Qinghe softly, his eyes full of emotion and surprise.
In the past, he always played the role of guardian.
Now, the role reversal has made him feel unprecedented warmth and dependence.
He remembered that night, under the moonlight, she acted with extraordinary courage.
She defended his dignity and innocence, and at that moment, the fate of the two became closely linked and could no longer be separated.
Xu Gang's words carried an unquestionable momentum. In his words, those difficult problems could be easily solved.
As a member of the police station, his voice naturally inspired the villagers present.
People were secretly grumbling in their hearts, knowing that even if they were involved with the authorities, the matter would be settled in the end.
It is inevitable that it will leave some bad influences, and I will not be able to hold my head up in the village in the future.
Old Master Yin's eyes flashed with helplessness in the face of Yin Yunjie's determination, and he finally made a decision with all his heart.
Xie Di and his wife were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and Zhou Yuan wanted to interrupt and comfort them.
But he was stopped by Yin Lin, and the delicate balance of the family seemed to be on the verge of collapse at this moment.
Old Mrs. Yin sighed softly, her eyes showing both helplessness and insight.
She never doubted Yin Yunjie's determination, but she felt sorry for the days ahead, which would probably be even more difficult.
Over the years, the family has managed to maintain a decent life thanks to Yin Yunjie's support and Yin Lin's craftsmanship.
But from now on, every penny will have to be calculated carefully, and this extra expense will undoubtedly be a test.
When Mr. Yin asked for ten yuan a month, there was a gasp from the crowd.
Twenty yuan is almost a huge sum of money for an ordinary family, let alone for two elderly people.
This undoubtedly makes people marvel at the old man's ruthlessness, and also makes people curious about Yin Yunjie's source of income.
However, Yin Yunjie's answer was so straightforward and clear, without a trace of hesitation, which shocked everyone instantly.
Everyone present looked at each other in surprise. Yin Yunjie's ready agreement undoubtedly revealed that he had a stable high income.
The Yin family's expressions changed from worry to surprise. Twenty yuan a month.
It has little impact on their lives, but they feel like they have five more dollars than before.
