Chapter 260: Old Yuan’s Decision
Yuan Pandi came and went in a hurry, mainly because he really felt embarrassed to stay there any longer.
Yuan Yindi roughly understood his elder brother’s feelings, and although he wanted to say that it wasn’t a big deal, he knew that until his brother figured things out for himself, nothing he said would help.
After seeing Yuan Pandi off, Yuan Yindi found Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng and briefly talked about Yuan Shougui’s current situation.
When they learned that their eldest grandson chose to join the military for Sheng Xueyi, both Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng looked quite puzzled.
They couldn’t figure it out.
"Xiao Wu, do you think this is a good thing?"
Old Yuan remained silent for a long time before looking at Yuan Yindi and slowly opening his mouth.
Yuan Yindi shrugged and said, "I guess it should be considered a good thing!"
Although Yuan Shougui did all these things for Sheng Xueyi, no matter how you look at it, his enlisting could be seen as embarking on a path of struggle.
Moreover, with the main commander Sun Feng looking out for him at the Ba River Camp, there is a chance that Yuan Shougui could quickly achieve military merits and thus gain rank and title.
"Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined!"
Old Yuan thought it over, suddenly knocked on the kang, and with sharp eyes, looked at Yuan Yindi and said, "Xiao Wu, write a letter to the second and third brothers, tell them to inform the commander at the Ba River Camp that there should be no special treatment for Shougui!"
"Ah...?!
Upon hearing his father’s words, Yuan Yindi was genuinely stunned.
"Dad, why?"
Yuan Yindi glanced at his father, "Even if Shougui is doing this for Miss Sheng, he is still on the path of establishing a career. We have the ability to help him now, so why not lend a hand?"
"I don’t think it’s appropriate!"
Old Yuan’s expression was somewhat serious, "This brat first went against us for a woman, and now he’s risking his life."
"I always feel that this brat could do something even more outrageous for that Sheng family girl."
"When necessary, we might as well completely cut ties with that brat!"
"Old man, that’s too much!"
Upon hearing Old Yuan’s harsh decision, Mrs. Zeng got a bit anxious.
Regarding her eldest grandson, Yuan Shougui, Mrs. Zeng truly cared a lot.
After all, he is the first of their grandchildren.
"Wife, it’s not that I’m being cruel. It’s just that I have a bad feeling!"
"This brat continuing to be entangled with that Sheng family girl is bound to cause big problems sooner or later."
Old Yuan looked seriously at Mrs. Zeng, "Our family situation now is not what it used to be!"
"In the past, when trouble arose, if we couldn’t face it, we could at least hide from it."
"But now, how do we hide?"
"We have no way to hide anymore!"
"Besides talking about Xiao Wu’s wife, just the current situation of the second and third brothers means we can’t run around as we please!"
Yuan Yindi pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, what if I step in and let Shougui marry that Miss Sheng, how about that?"
"Foolishness!"
Old Yuan glared at his younger son, "Before, you knew when to make a clean break, how come you’re confused now?"
"That Sheng family girl is not compatible with our Jiaojiao!"
"From the Linhe Village in Great Yin to here, have you ever seen her clash with anyone like this?"
"It’s settled then!"
Old Yuan’s expression was very serious, "If that brat can break through with his own abilities, that’s his fortune. If not, it’s his destiny!"
