CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: THE SONG FAMILY’S OUTBURST

"Dad, acting like this, your daughter-in-law is not convinced!"

Regarding Old Yuan’s autocratic decision-making, Mrs. Song directly expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I don’t agree with splitting the family like this."

"The second son has joined the army, and now with two countries on the brink of war, if something happens to him, how are we supposed to live?"

"Jiaojiao is your beloved eldest granddaughter, but aren’t Shoucheng and the others your grandsons too?"

"You might not care about me as a daughter-in-law, but Shoucheng and his brothers are also part of the Yuan family!"

"I know you haven’t gotten over the fact that we left Jiaojiao at home back then."

"But given the situation at the time, which was so chaotic, it was the fourth son and his wife who didn’t even tend to their own child, so how is it our fault?"

"We are Jiaojiao’s aunts, would we harm her?"

Mrs. Song, having reached her limit, decided to lay all her true feelings bare.

"When we were in Sanchuan City, you thought we intentionally forgot about Jiaojiao, right?"

"No need to deny it!"

"I can still guess what you were thinking."

"But I, Song Yulian, can swear to the heavens, if at the time when Jiaojiao was left home, I had even a single malicious thought, or knew she was left behind but deliberately chose to keep silent, may I be struck by lightning!"

"May my three sons also meet a bad end!"

This outburst and oath from Mrs. Song pushed Old Yuan against the wall.

Yuan Pandi, Yuan Zhaodi, and Yuan Yindi all had stiff expressions.

"Dear!"

Seeing her second daughter-in-law like this, Mrs. Zeng felt unsettled.

Over the years, she had seen what kind of character her daughters-in-law had. From the bottom of her heart, she didn’t believe that Yuan Bao being left at home was due to the indulgence of the family.

At that time, the government officials were urging them quickly, and it was truly a chaotic scene.

After all, if they couldn’t enter the city within the time limit, they would be blocked outside the city.

"Dad, I believe second sister-in-law is not that kind of person!"

Yuan Zhaodi slowly spoke, "Besides, it was my fault that Jiaojiao was left at home."

"If you want to split the family because of this, it’s really unnecessary!"

"At that time, it was because my wife and I didn’t communicate well; we assumed things. That’s why Jiaojiao was left at home."

"Dad, we just moved to Daxia, unfamiliar with life here. At this time, our family can’t afford to scatter!"

Yuan Yindi also chimed in, "Earlier, when I argued with second sister-in-law, it was my immaturity!"

"I think this family shouldn’t be split!"

As Old Yuan’s favored youngest son, Yuan Yindi’s words carried significant weight.

However, thinking about his grandsons, Old Yuan still wanted to divide the family.

Indeed, the old couple favored their eldest granddaughter, and even after today’s events, this partiality would continue. Such favoritism is bound to lead to dissatisfaction among the grandsons.

Noticing his father’s gaze shifting towards the grandsons, Yuan Pandi immediately spoke, "Dad, you and Mom are the grandparents, if you want to dote on Jiaojiao, then do so!"

"If these little rascals aren’t happy, I’ll discipline them!"

"Sigh..."

Old Yuan hadn’t expected that his seemingly certain decision to split the family would have to be set aside for now.

With a long sigh, Old Yuan looked at the three sons and four daughters-in-law present, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, whether to split the family or not, you should discuss it among yourselves."

"If you decide to go ahead with it, just let me know."
