Chapter 300 Reconciliation
Ye Chi's words were so powerful that no one responded for a long time.
Both the Ye family and the Zhou family had to face this fact.
"Yes, her achievement really surprised me..." Zhou Zhili sighed and raised his head to avoid embarrassment.
Ye Lanxin knew that her second brother wanted to mock Zhou Yuxiu, but this sentence did hurt Zhou Qinzhu's self-esteem.
She was already in a bad mood because she was granted marriage as a concubine, and now she must feel even worse being compared to her own uncle.
Sure enough, before Ye Lingyue and the others could do anything, Zhou Qinzhu became dejected.
"Why do you say that, Second Uncle? If my brothers and sisters had a master like her, their achievements might not be inferior to hers."
This time, Ye Chi didn't indulge her and asked directly, "What role do your ifs play here? Can you ignore the facts after a moral victory? Now that your eldest cousin is dead, your second brother is in prison, and the Ye and Zhou families are facing huge challenges, you are giving me ifs, what else do you want to if?"
Zhou Qinzhu was stunned. Ye Chi had never scolded her in front of so many people.
Since she was a child, these two uncles have treated her like their own daughter.
"Second brother, Qinzhu is just feeling sad..." Ye Lanxin didn't dare to blame Ye Chi and quickly stepped forward.
Ye Chi ignored Ye Lanxin. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, sweeping across everyone present.
"Our Ye family has never relied on fantasies and hypotheses to survive. The reason we were constantly attacked in the past was because we lived in comfort for too many days and forgot that someone had the courage and ability to deal with our Ye family. We were caught off guard. Now, it's time to face reality."
After hearing this, the Ye family members looked extremely serious.
Even Qin Kerou, who had been finding fault with the second wife, had to admit that Ye Chi was right.
As the mistress of the house, she is really derelict in her duty.
Ye Cheng, the heir to the Ye family title, couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing these words.
As the eldest son, he was indecisive when faced with problems and always needed his younger brother's advice. He also allowed his wife and his second brother's family to act recklessly. The internal strife in the Ye family also indirectly contributed to the current situation.
He is ashamed of his ancestors.
However, Ye Chi did not say too many accusations, but continued, "It is true that we cannot solve the problem with Gu Ruanci right now. We must find a way to overcome the current difficulties so that we can deal with Gu Ruanci in the future. Since we already have clues about that gang of bandits, waiting for a response from the government is probably a long time coming. We all know that these things are related to Wen Zimei, so we can naturally wait and see... Moreover, we should also fight back... She killed our Ye family's child, and her child will not survive either."
After Ye Chi finished speaking, his whole aura changed.
After hearing Ye Chi's words, everyone in the Ye family had a fierce look in their eyes. They knew that Ye Chi's words of "tooth for tooth" were no joke.
Ye Cheng was the first to speak out: "Second brother, we will do whatever you say. This time, we must consider the overall situation."
Qin Kerou also said with a guilty look on her face: "Yes, second brother, it was my fault before. Now that the Ye family is facing a great crisis, your eldest brother and I are not smart enough. Thanks to you for letting go of the past, I am here to apologize to you and your sister-in-law. What do you say? Your eldest brother and I will listen to you."
Since she had already expressed her stance, Ye Chi naturally wouldn't keep acting politely.
"Let the past be the past. We are always a family."
Qin Kerou walked up to Shang Hongmian in a serious manner and knelt down in front of her.
Fortunately, Shang Hongmian was prepared and supported her before she knelt down.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law, my sister-in-law was crazy and out of her mind before, so she had a grudge against you. We are both desperate mothers who lost their sons. We should have been united, but because of my extreme words, our relationship has become increasingly strained. Now I really regret it. I hope that sister-in-law will not take issue with an ignorant woman like me and forgive my previous words and actions."
Shang Hongmian was a quick-witted person, and when he saw her bowing to him, he was too lazy to keep a straight face.
"Sister-in-law, let's talk it out between us. I was also wrong in the past. You are the eldest sister-in-law. Even if some of my words were emotional, there was family pressure. I shouldn't have given you face and contradicted you directly. It's good that we sisters-in-law have talked it out today. We will still be a family in the future."
When Qin Kerou heard Shang Hongmian say this, she felt relieved.
She stood up, took Shang Hongmian's hand, tears glistening in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I'm so happy that you think this way. Our Ye family will rely on you and second brother from now on. Your eldest brother and I have no children, so everything will depend on Chengchu in the future. Alas, our titles are now looked down upon, and Chengchu will probably have to suffer in the future."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhili also realized that among the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Ye family, only Ye Chengchu was left.
The other three legitimate sons are all dead.
Shang Hongmian had already had this plan in mind. Now that he heard his sister-in-law bring it up so proactively, he naturally believed in the other party's sincerity even more.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Big brother will always be the head of the Ye family."
Ye Cheng and Ye Chi stood aside, watching the two sisters-in-law put aside their past grudges, and felt quite emotional.
Zhou Qinzhu, who was criticized as an example, felt even worse. If it weren't for what she had just said that made her second uncle so angry, how could the Ye family have reconciled?
But she didn't dare to take credit at this time. She could be shameless, but she had to sacrifice her life.
"Brother, brother-in-law, you are all aware of the current situation of the Ye family. We must work together to deal with the impending crisis. Brother-in-law, it's not that I want to tie you to the Ye family. Whether it is Wen Zimei or Gu Ruanci, their hatred for your Zhou family far exceeds that of the Ye family..." Ye Chi's tone was firm, and there was a determination in his eyes.
Zhou Zhili was wary of Ye Chi encouraging him to make some impulsive decisions, but he had to admit that what he said was true.
After hearing this, Zhou Yuxiu was stunned again.
His feelings towards Gu Ruanci now were only guilt.
He thought everything Gu Ruanci did was reasonable.
However, the trouble he caused by his willful behavior this time has not been resolved yet, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything to help Gu Ruanci at this time.
"Second brother, tell me, what do you want to do?" Zhou Zhili said in a firm tone, finally making up his mind.
"Let's make Wen Zimei regret her whole life first... Cheng Lei's death must be paid with the life of her child. Zhou Qingdai is your Zhou family's child. Brother-in-law, you won't protect her from us just for the sake of your reputation, right?"
