Shen Ningshan and Shen Ningjing walked a long way before stopping.
Turning back for a glance, they found that Ye Liyan had already returned to the courtyard. Shen Ningjing anxiously said, "Big Brother, what should we do?"
Shen Ningshan’s face was also quite grim. If they couldn’t find a house for their younger brother Ninglei as a wedding home, the most likely ones to suffer would be themselves, since three rooms in the courtyard were allocated to him as the eldest brother.
If the third house’s room couldn’t be borrowed, then they shouldn’t even think about the main house. The last option would be to clear out a room in the second house’s courtyard. The second sister lives in the side room, and the younger brother certainly wouldn’t want to get married in a side room. Their son’s main room might not be saved.
But if their sons lose their rooms, where will they live in the future?
His wife would definitely quarrel with him again, really a headache.
Shen Ningjing watched her big brother’s changing expressions, feeling very anxious. She wasn’t worried about her big brother kicking their family out, but if they couldn’t borrow a house for their younger brother as a wedding home, they would have to vacate the room belonging to the younger brother and nephews. In that case, her sister-in-law might not be happy. What if she tells her to give up her side room? After all, she’s already a married daughter, really more and more distressing as she thinks about it.
Ye Liyan didn’t care what the two siblings of the Shen family’s second house thought or did. It was already out of respect for his deceased father-in-law and mother-in-law that he didn’t retaliate against the Shen family’s main house and second house. If they weren’t sensible, then they shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless.
He Jinxuan saw him return, "Did you send them off?"
He had lived in the Shen family courtyard for ten years, and naturally was quite familiar with Shen Ningshan and Shen Ningjing from the second house. They were opportunists, but at least they had more principles than the main house members.
Ye Liyan nodded, "They really dare to dream, coming here to borrow the third house’s room from me, even drawing big promises like saying they’ll pay rent like others. Do they really take others for fools?"
Then he thought of something, "Do you think they might come to you and ask you to act as a mediator?"
He Jinxuan glanced towards the main door, a cold gleam in his eyes, "It’s not impossible either."
The second house people might not be as ruthless as the main house, but when it comes to their own vital interests, they aren’t much different. They wouldn’t care what others think.
Seeing that it was getting late, He Jinxuan entered the house, "Yanyan, it’s getting late, we should go. If we’re late, Granny Zhang will worry."
Xinyan smiled brightly at him, "Hold on a moment, let me finish this game."
The two little ones’ faces immediately changed when they heard their uncle and Aunt Yan were about to leave. Little Siyan switched from his brother’s side to Xinyan’s side, "Aunt Yan, can’t you stay?"
Xinyan smiled and pinched his little face, "I’ll come to see you again when I have time."
Siyan put on a sad face, "My dad’s cooking is really terrible."
Hearing this, Xinyan teased him on purpose, "Sigh, I was moved for nothing. I thought you couldn’t bear to see me leave, but you just want me to stay and cook for you. I’m so heartbroken."
Ye Siyan got anxious, waved his little hands, and said, "No, no, I couldn’t bear to see Aunt Yan go."
Then he directly hugged Xinyan’s arm and muttered quietly, "I also want to eat Aunt Yan’s cooking."
Xinyan was just about to say something when she glanced and saw Ye Liyan standing at the door, tilting his head and looking in, "My dad’s cooking is really bad. I’m not lying."
Ye Liyan chuckled in exasperation, "You little rascal, disdaining my cooking now? Well, then don’t eat what I cook from now on."
Ye Siyan pouted, with an expression that seemed to say, "What can you do about it?" "Then I’ll eat at the canteen from now on."
