“Old Mrs. Yuan, the Yuan and Ye clans have always been on good terms. I don’t have the heart to see your clan facing difficulties and cannot save yourselves. I just want to help you now.”

“Bringing so many people to the door is not helping. It’s forcing!”

“It really hurts my feeling if you say so.”

“What you did today also hurt the peace between the two clans! The marriage should make us lasting friends, but what you did is make the two clans feud!” Old Mrs. Yuan glared at the Fourth Old Mr. Ye.

The Fourth Old Mr. Ye was sure that the Yuan clan could not refuse today, so he was not angry no matter what Old Mrs. Yuan said. “Since you said so. Wouldn’t I bear this scolding for nothing if I don’t do it?”

“Old Mrs. Yuan. You have to tell me today. Do you agree with this marriage or not?”

The Fourth Old Mr. Ye tore off his mask and revealed his hideous intention.

“Even if I die here today, I will not agree with the marriage!” Old Mrs. Yuan still insisted.

She would not back down from throwing her granddaughter to the wolves.

“Well, in that case, don’t blame us for being rude. You insisted on refusing the marriage of my brother’s third son and Miss Yuan. As an uncle, I can’t watch my nephew upset, so I can only use some impolite means to help him.

“Guards! Surround this place! By which time Old Mrs. Yuan agreed to the marriage, we will withdraw. Otherwise, not even a fly will be allowed to fly out!”

“Don’t you dare!” Old Mrs. Yuan was so angry that her body trembled. “This is the Yuan clan. You are not allowed to run amuck here!”

“Old Mrs. Yuan, it is what it is. It won’t do us any good if we continue to stalemate. It’s also good for the Yuan clan to tie the knot with the Ye clan, so why don’t you agree?”

“Yes, yes, anyway, Huihui got a bad reputation. She encountered that kind of incident in Yuanjiang County before. Who knows whether she lost her virginity? Now someone is willing to marry her. It is a huge blessing. I’m afraid no one will marry her if she misses the chance.”

“Is it worth it to sacrifice the whole Yuan clan for Huihui? I always believe that girls can’t do great deeds. If you feel sorry for her, prepare more dowry. Do you want so many people to suffer with her? Are you not afraid to shorten her life by over-indulgence?”

The other branches of the Yuan clan protested, insisting that Old Mrs. Yuan agree to tie the knot with the Ye clan.

Hearing these words, Old Mrs. Yuan almost fainted.

These people could be selfish to such an extent.

They also knew they relied on the Yuan clan to have a good life. What rights did they have to force the Yuan clan to sacrifice for them? Who did they think they were?

“You, you ingrates! What you use and eat is all from me. You don’t help to find a way out during a crisis, but you kick the Yuan clan when it is down! You know what? No way! If you are so afraid of being involved, get out of the Yuan clan!” Old Mrs. Yuan pointed at those Yuan clan members and lashed out.

Mrs. Yuan also said in a cold voice. “Since you all think so, I will have the accountant count all your food and clothing expenses over the years. And you must pay off all the silver. We Yuan clan do not support ingrates.”

“What? How can you do that? At least we are a part of the Yuan clan. Isn’t it perfectly justified for you to support us?”

“I know! Now you want to kick us out to monopolize everything of the Yuan clan. ”

“It is impossible to pay the silver, but if you are not willing to marry Huihui, divide up the family property. We only take our share, and you can do whatever you want!”

“That’s right, divide the family property. Take all that belongs to us, and we will never mind the Yuan clan’s business again.”

“Divide the family property! Divide the family property! ”

Before the Ye clan’s people did anything, the Yuan clan made an internal conflict first, shouting that they wanted to divide the Yuan clan’s family property.

Seeing this, people trom the Ye and Hong clans couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

They didn’t even need to bother with anything. An internal conflict started in the Yuan clan already.

Only Old Mrs. Yuan and her family were there, a few women and two children. They were no match for these ingrates. Seemingly they would be eaten alive by the rest branches of the Yuan clan.

Old Mrs. Yuan was incomparably disappointed, looking at these wicked people.

She knew these people were unreliable, but she had never expected them to go so far.

She had made many preparations to guard against these people in the past, and now they all came in handy.

She was not worried about them coming to make trouble. She was only disappointed in them.

If they could unite to help out at this time, she would not refuse to give them anything.

But after all, they were too shortsighted to see the future benefits.

Anyway, it was not bad for the Ye clan to force her. At least she saw thoroughly what kind of demons and devils were in the Yuan clan.

Chuchu pulled Yuan Hui hard to stop her from rushing out.

The Old Mrs. Yuan dared to confront the Ye clan and the Hong clan like this, so she must have something up her sleeve.

If Yuan Hui rashly showed up, it might disrupt her plan.

“Huihui, stay here! Don’t go out!” Chuchu whispered, “Your grandmother must have other plans. Let’s wait and see first.”

“I can’t stand it anymore! Look at how these bastards are bullying my grandmother. My grandmother raised them, but what have they done in return? I can’t wait to go out and kill them now!”

Yuan Hui was excited.

“There’s always a chance, but not now. You have to bear with it first. Take my word for it.

“Chuchu, I really can’t just watch and stand by!”

“You still have to look to understand the truth more clearly.”

It was knowing who you could trust and who you couldn’t.

This was a very practical lesson. What Yuan Hui lacked was knowledge of human nature.

Hopefully, after today, she will grow up.

“You saw your grandmother’s plight, and you also need to see how she coped with that plight, and then remember well that no matter what happens in the future, think about what happened today and your grandmother.”

“Huihui, you were born in the Yuan clan and are destined to encounter many things that would never happen to ordinary people in your lifetime. But you must remember that you are the eldest daughter of the Yuan clan, and it is your responsibility to take up the Yuan clan. Even if they protect you, you can’t live under their wings for the rest of your life.”

“If they pass away many years later and your brothers are useless, will you watch the Yuan clan be squandered and finally fall into ruin? People desperate enough tend to grow up quickly. No one is born to hold up everything!” Hearing Chuchu’s words, Yuan Hui gradually calmed down.

She did not clamor to go out again and put her hands to her sides.

It took her a while to speak in a dumb voice. “Chuchu, am I too worthless? I panic when something happens. I thought I had grown up after the incident in Yuanjiang County, but today I realized that I am still so naive..”
