Chapter 208: 208 Various Plans Chapter 208: 208 Various Plans If spoken more severely, this could be considered as the crime of treason, which is an unbearable charge for anyone.
“This matter still needs to wait for your dad to return. The clan leader side also needs to be properly consulted. Although it’s our family that has suffered a loss in Ye Ning’s matter, this issue concerns the reputation of the whole clan. As long as our family lives in Wangshan Village, we cannot ignore the reputation of the clan,” He’s expression was grim.
If it weren’t for the clan, that old fox Ye Ning would not just be allowed to lie in bed with broken legs for daring to steal someone and have an illegitimate child.
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but worry, if they rashly sent Mrs. Li to the government office, would they offend the people behind the human traffickers?
If they didn’t send her to the government office, dealing with Mrs. Li privately would undoubtedly be an abuse of personal punishment, and Ye Ning would still be left to roam free, something Ye Jiu was really unwilling to accept.
However, the matter of the human traffickers was already known to both Prince Jing and… the War King, and Ye Jiu had even deliberately reminded Prince Jing’s guard. As the prince of Dongyue and the guardian deity of Dongyue, they should not ignore the matter altogether.
With them taking the lead, reporting the matter to the officials should not seem too presumptuous on their part.
Thinking of Sikong Mo, and recalling the hug he had given him before he left, although it was just a simple touch, it stirred ripples in Ye Jiu’s heart.
Now, looking back, he didn’t know what Sikong Mo really meant!
After all, given his character, he was not the type to casually flirt.
Shaking his head, Ye Jiu didn’t want to think deeper. After all, they were unlikely to have any interaction in the future.
“By the way, mom, I’m thinking of sending Wenqing and Wenyu to private school, what do you think?” Ye Jiu asked.
“My dear child, their family’s matters naturally have their parents to consider. With you being their aunt, giving them money and business is already more than fair,” He’s face showed disapproval as she looked at Ye Jiu, “Mom knows you care about your brothers, but you should understand one thing: as the saying goes, even close brothers settle accounts clearly. Being wholeheartedly considerate of them will only spoil them, and in the end, you won’t gain any gratitude.”
Since the family had separated, they should live their own lives, He was not willing to exhaust herself for them and then end up being blamed.
Ye Jiu gave a bitter smile.
She too understood this principle; she only felt that her brothers and sisters-in-law lacked insight and failed to appreciate the importance of knowledge, which in turn, hindered the futures of her nephews.
But what her mother said made even more sense; as a younger sister-in-law, she really shouldn’t interfere in her brothers’ family matters, especially after a separation.
It seems this matter can only be mentioned by herself at an appropriate opportunity, and in the end, they would have to make their own decision.
Given the current state of the business, they should at least be able to live comfortably and have some surplus money.
“Mom is right, I misunderstood,” Ye Jiu clung to He’s arm playfully, “However, I do think we should rebuild our house, we aren’t short of money, what do you think?”
God knows how much Ye Jiu wished to always have a room of her own.
Although He and Old Man Ye were not young, they weren’t at the point of incapacity yet, and there were still times they needed marital privacy. Each time she woke up in the middle of the night, Ye Jiu had to force herself to retreat into her own space to avoid them.
“We can consider this matter. The soap business has brought in some money in the past few months. Let’s divide their share for the two of them and keep half of the remainder for you; your fourth brother’s silver can be used to start building the house,” He planned.
