Chapter 789: Division of the Clans
Chapter 789: Division of the Clans
She closed her eyes almost without hesitation, her heart beating wildly.
Oh my God, she saw it, she actually saw it!
After being blind for so many years, this was the first time she felt the strong stimulation of light.
Bai Qiaoyin was startled and quickly asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Come on, speak up! Don't scare me!"
Madam Yin was silent for a moment before she softly uttered, "Pull the curtains slowly first. The sunlight is too bright, and Grandma can't stand it!"
Bai Qiaoyin was stunned at first, then her eyes were filled with ecstasy.
She said excitedly, "Grandma, are you okay? You can see now, right?"
At this time, Fang Qingshan had already taken the lead in tightening the curtains, and the light in the room dimmed.
Only then did Old Madam Yin slowly open her eyes again, and a happy smile covered her kind face.
She reached out and touched Bai Qiaoyin's face and said, "My dear Yue'er, you look so much like your mother. When your mother married into our Yin family, she was also so charming and charming, both angry and happy. Even now, grandma can't forget it!"
Bai Qiaoyin choked up and threw herself into her arms. She said in a hoarse voice, "My mother is in heaven. Please let me meet my grandmother. Qingshan and I will definitely be filial to you in the future!"
Madam Yin nodded repeatedly: "Good children, they are all good children!"
Almost as soon as her eyes recovered, Old Lady Yin opened the ancestral hall and ordered all members of the Yin family to be invited.
She sat in the first seat and said, "The Yin clan has now fallen apart. From now on, there will be no more family heads. Let's disperse!"
When everyone heard the news, their faces changed drastically.
For so many years, they have been relying on the Yin family. Even though Yin Nianyue is dead, they still place their hopes on the legitimate daughter they have found.
After all, her current identity is not ordinary!
Not only is she the young lady of General Fang's mansion, she is also related to Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion.
If they could just take advantage of her influence, why wouldn't they become famous nobles in the capital?
So, everyone almost said in unison: "Old Madam, when the old master was alive, he said that the Yin family is a rope that must not be separated. Now you say you want to split the family. How can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Yin family!"
Old Madam Yin said coldly, "Hasn't it been enough for you to take advantage of the Yin family mansion over the years? Now you're planning to take even my own granddaughter. Let me ask you, besides taking, has any of you ever contributed anything to the mansion?"
Everyone blushed at this question, but someone was quick to react and immediately retorted, "Old Madam, we really want to make a contribution, but the head of the family didn't give us a chance before. Now that he's dead, you can divide the assets among us to manage!"
Madam Yin waved her hand and said, "Don't even think about it. This is the property in the mansion. No one of you can take it away. If you know what's good for you, leave now. Otherwise, if you anger me, I will make you vomit out everything you have eaten!"
She originally had a decisive personality, but later she was devastated by a series of setbacks.
Now, in order to clear the obstacles for her granddaughter, she began to rise up and intimidate everyone.
She swept her sharp eyes over everyone, her fierce aura carrying a majesty that could not be ignored.
Those who are timid have already been scared to the point of giving up.
However, he still coveted the wealth in the forbidden area and wanted to fight for it again.
A white-haired old man walked out quickly and said, "Old Madam, you can ignore us old folks who are half buried in the earth, but you can't ignore those younger generations. When the old grandfather was alive, he valued them very much and said that they were the hope of the future of our Yin clan. Now, do you want to kill these hopes?"
If it were in the past, these words might have shaken Old Lady Yin's determination to split the clan.
But she had just crawled back from the gates of hell, and she couldn't impose all these constraints on Yue'er again.
Why didn't she enjoy any care from her clansmen, but instead had to be responsible for the Yin family's back?
She said decisively: "When the old man said those words, he was capable of taking care of these younger generations, but now I can't even protect myself, how can I take the responsibility on myself?"
The man couldn't help but look at Yin Yue: "Don't we still have the eldest daughter? She is now of noble status and is the young lady of the general's mansion. If she is willing to help, our Yin clan will definitely become a new noble family in the capital!"
Madam Yin sneered, "You are really blood-sucking leeches. It's not enough for you to just suck my old woman, you even don't let go of my poor granddaughter!"
The old man's face suddenly turned ugly and he argued: "Old Madam, what are you talking about? She is the legitimate daughter of the Yin family. Isn't it her responsibility to take care of and help the younger generations of the Yin family?"
Old Madam Yin didn't hesitate to pour the tea on his face.
The old man was so embarrassed by the pouring that he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Old lady, why are you pouring tea on my face?"
Madam Yin said sarcastically, "Hey, you still have the nerve! I thought you didn't want it anymore!"
The old man's face was pale and blue. He raised his hand to wipe the water off his face and said, "No matter what, I don't agree to split up the clan. Don't even think about getting rid of us!"
Madam Yin said calmly, "Anyone who agrees to split up the clan will receive a severance pay of five hundred taels of silver. It's not much, but it's enough to buy some small things. First come, first served. The longer you delay, not only will you not get any benefit at all, you might even be kicked out of the clan!"
As soon as the words fell, many tribesmen began to whisper.
The old man complained, "Madam, do you think you can get rid of us with just this little silver? Over the years, we have worked hard for the family, even if we have not made any contributions. Five hundred taels of silver, are you going to send off beggars?"
Madam Yin ignored him and spoke slowly, "My patience is limited. I will limit you to the time of an incense stick. Every moment of delay will cost you fifty taels of silver!"
The old man's face turned livid with anger. He turned to look at everyone and said, "Don't be greedy for those petty gains. As long as we don't compromise, she won't be able to kick us out of the family!"
Madam Yin spoke slowly, "I only have one thing to say. I am old now, and the Yin family's foundation will inevitably be handed over to my granddaughter in the future. But she grew up in the capital and has never eaten a grain of rice or drunk a sip of your soup. How can she take care of you?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. What he said was indeed true.
Rather than continuing to argue and ending up with nothing, it would be better to get the severance pay of 500 taels of silver first.
Then someone stepped forward and said, "I agree to split the clan!"
Old Madam Yin did not hesitate and quickly ordered someone to take out five hundred taels of silver and hand it to him.
