The forty-sixth helping of gossip: what juicy gossip, forty-six bites...
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Third Uncle Ye quickly tried to smooth things over after laughing, saying, "In the end, it's Yongxin and Yien who are in the wrong. Why did you two throw mice into your sister Ye Mo's room?"
He looked at the two brothers with a stern face.
Fang Yien was a little confused, not understanding why they were suddenly criticizing the two of them.
"... She's Mingming one who stuffed the rats into our clothes!" he shouted, pointing at Ye Mo. "Those big, fat rats were crawling all over me!"
The memory of those two mice scurrying around on his clothes made him feel itchy all over.
"I don't care! I don't want to see her! Get her out of here! Get her out of here now!" Yien Yi'en threw a tantrum, screaming, stomping his feet, crying and yelling, "I want her to apologize to me, or let her go! I don't want to see her!"
Ye Yongxin, who had been sobbing softly, heard his cousin scream. He turned to look at one person, then at the other, and Momo stopped crying.
Aunt Ye, her head throbbing from Yien's nagging, couldn't help but say to Ye Mo, "Alright, Momo, I know this isn't mainly your fault, but your brother's like this... you should apologize to him."
She had an expression that said, "I've already given in to this extent, you should have had enough."
Hearing this, Ye Mo found it somewhat amusing, and almost blurted out, "How dare you ask me to apologize?"
"No!" Fortunately, Ye Zhipeng finally spoke.
He frowned and looked at Aunt Ye with displeasure, "You said it yourself, this wasn't Momo's fault, so why should she apologize to your Yien? If anyone should apologize, it should be these two little brats apologizing to my Momo!"
He scoffed, "Our Momo is a girl, delicate and timid. What were those two brats thinking, throwing a mouse into her room? Trying to scare her? Well, they deserved it for getting a mouse in their room!"
Hearing this, Third Uncle Ye Momo thought to himself: Brother, you're just lying through your teeth. Your girl may be delicate, but I'm not worried about that.
Judging from the way she dared to grab a mouse and stuff it into someone's clothes, she didn't seem timid at all; on the contrary, she was quite bold. At least he wouldn't dare to grab a mouse with his bare hands.
Aunt Ye's eyes widened, and she said discontentedly, "Big brother, why are you saying that too? Don't take Ye Mo's side just because she's your daughter!"
"I'm not speaking up for Momo," Ye Zhipeng said confidently, because he genuinely felt he wasn't taking sides.
"I Mingming siding with reason, not family. It's all very clear. It was your Fang Yien was trying to bully others, which led to all this..." he said. "Speaking of which, they caught the rat themselves. So, it seems they got what they wanted."
Is the saying "What you seek, you will obtain" appropriate for this context?
Aunt Ye was so angry she nearly fell over. She looked left and right, and seeing that apart from Ye Baozhu, no one was on her side, she couldn't help but turn to her mother. "Mom..."
old lady. "..."
"Don't shout," the old woman frowned, looking like she had a headache. "You're giving me a headache..."
Aunt Ye complained, "You just stand by and watch your brother and his daughter bully me and your grandson?"
The old lady gestured for the maid to help her back to her room, saying without turning her head, "Your own problems are your own to solve. Don't bother me, I have a terrible headache and need to rest..."
Aunt Ye was stunned. At this moment, she was completely isolated and helpless. She couldn't help but look at Ye Baozhu, the only one who had spoken up for Yien and the other, and asked:
"Baozhu, tell me, who is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
Ye Baozhu opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Ye Lin spoke up, calling her name in a casual tone, "Baozhu..."
His tone carried a hint of warning.
"..." Ye Baozhu immediately fell silent, her face turning slightly pale.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said nothing more.
Ye Zhipeng said somewhat irritably, "Little sister, you've been staying at home for so long, shouldn't you go home too?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ye's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "... Big brother, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Ye Zhipeng denied it, saying, "I just think that Yien's grandparents must be thinking about having a grandson. Besides, you're married and have children now, so stop coming home every day. Aren't you afraid the Fang family will have something to say?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ye's face immediately showed a look of shame and indignation. She turned around, grabbed Fang Yien, and tried to leave. "Why are you crying? Stop crying! Didn't you hear them say they don't welcome us and want to kick us out? We're leaving right now!"
After saying that, she grabbed Fang Yien and left. As she left, her steps were slow, as if she hoped someone would stop her and her son. Unfortunately, even as she reached the exit of the hall, no one present said anything to stop her.
Aunt Ye's face immediately turned green.
Chapter 46 The forty-sixth melon: What kind of melon is it? It's the one you eat forty-six times...
No one stopped them, and Ye Xiaogu and her son had no choice but to leave reluctantly. As soon as they left, the living room fell silent.
Ye Zhipeng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on from the noise—one Fang Yi'en was practically worth ten people.
"... My Third Uncle Ye sister is generally reasonable in other matters, as long as her son isn't involved. But as soon as anything touches on Yi'en, she becomes unreasonable and makes a fuss. I don't know what's wrong with her."
Hearing this, Third Aunt Ye, who had just returned from her flight that morning, sighed and said, "It's not surprising. She only had Yi'en after so many years, and this child was hard-won, so it's no wonder she spoils him a bit too much."
Third Uncle Ye shook his head, disagreeing, and said, "That's it."
With the kid's current reckless attitude, if his younger sister and her family continue to discipline him like this, he'll be ruined sooner or later!
Education is necessary, but Aunt Ye and the Fang family only know how to spoil the child, treating him like the apple of their eye.
Fang Yi'en is now a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, but he still acts like an immature brat. He throws tantrums whenever something happens, and Third Uncle Ye is afraid that the child will be spoiled.
Thinking of this, Third Uncle Ye suddenly looked sharply at Ye Yongxin, who was huddled in the corner without saying a word, and called out sternly, "Ye Yongxin!"
Ye Yongxin trembled, looking at him expectantly. "Dad..."
Third Uncle Ye asked, "Why did you and Fang Yi'en throw the rat into your Sister Momo's room?"
Ye Yongxin glanced at Ye Mo and stammered, "Brother En said that Sister Momo came back and took Sister Baozhu's place because of Sister Momo. Uncle and the others have been treating Sister Baozhu badly... So, he wants to get revenge for Sister Baozhu and kick Sister Momo out."
Instantly, everyone's eyes in the room fell on Ye Baozhu.
Ye Baozhu's face paled, and she subconsciously explained to herself, "I didn't ask Yi En to help me get revenge... I really didn't know he would do this!"
Seeing the sudden silence, Ye Sen chuckled awkwardly and explained to Ye Baozhu, "Yi En has always liked Baozhu very much, treating Baozhu like his own sister. I think this was definitely his own idea..."
Ye Baozhu looked timid and apologized, "I'm sorry, but I really don't know why things turned out this way, and I don't know why Yi En did this!"
"He'd want to stand up for you, he must think you've been wronged... You two are thousands of miles apart, how would he know you've been wronged?" Ye Lin asked pointedly.
Ye Baozhu: "..."
Her expression stiffened, and after a moment's hesitation, she suddenly wiped away her tears and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to. I just felt that after Ye Mo came back, Mom, Dad, and Brother, it seemed like you didn't like me anymore. I was so scared, so I told Yi En a few times on the phone..."
