The old lady wiped away her tears and said angrily, "What if Xiaohua turns out like your older brother if I don't scold him? It's better to be cowardly than bad. I'd rather Xiaohua be a good-for-nothing for the rest of his life than have him harm others!"

The two brothers were speechless. Thinking of their eldest brother, who was the most successful in the family, they couldn't help but sigh in unison, not knowing what to say.

“But now they’ve all gone to commit suicide… What if we can’t save them?” The second son hung his head, his face full of grief.

The old lady angrily punched him hard, yelling, "Shut up if you can't speak properly! The doctor didn't say anything, so what are you spouting nonsense about!"

The second son shut his mouth in a huff and didn't say a word.

Ye Qingqing shook her head. It wasn't surprising that the old lady came to make a scene, but she really didn't expect that Ye Hua and that widow had such a deep relationship.

"What kind of person is that widow? Actually, if she's a good person and hardworking, it's not impossible for Ye Hua to be with her," Ye Qingqing advised.

The second son couldn't help but complain, "I've inquired about her. She's a nice woman, but she's also had a hard life. Her mother died when she was three or four years old, and her stepmother treated her badly. She married her deceased husband when she was eighteen and is now a forty-year-old bachelor. She's not very bright, and she was hit by a car and killed last year right after giving birth. They paid 150,000 yuan in compensation."

The third son added, "The 150,000 yuan was all kept by the mother-in-law. She planned to build a new house for her youngest son to get married. The mother-in-law treated the widow badly, always beating and scolding her. She also disliked that she gave birth to a daughter and wouldn't give her a single penny. That's why the widow went to set up a breakfast stall to earn money, saying she wanted to save it for her child's kindergarten education."

The second son added, “Actually, I think it would be fine for Xiaohua to be with this widow. She’s a good person, and the neighbors all say she’s an honest woman, just not very lucky. She’s also pretty and the same age as Xiaohua. Even if she has a daughter, it’s fine. She’s only a little over a year old. She can support her parents and treat them like her own daughter. But you wouldn’t listen and insisted on going to their house to make a scene. Now look what’s happened.”

“I heard from Master Ye that the widow was almost beaten to death by her mother-in-law, who was even planning to sell her for money. What a terrible thing you’ve done!” The third son also complained.

The two brothers cared about their nephew. They went to investigate the young widow's character and found her to be quite good. If she were a young woman, she wouldn't even look at Ye Hua!

Besides, what are Ye Hua's qualifications? His father is a murderer, his mother is in prison, he's ugly, weak-willed, and not very promising. He'd be lucky to marry a young widow.

The two brothers took turns complaining about the old lady.

The old lady had a gloomy face. In fact, she had already regretted it. Little did she know that the widow's mother-in-law would be even more vicious than her, not even giving her daughter-in-law a bite to eat. She was truly a scoundrel.

"That wicked mother-in-law is really going to sell...the widow?"

“What Master Ye said could be true. He said he’s already contacted an old bachelor, old enough to be the widow’s father, and a shameless old man. The widow knelt on the ground begging, but it was no use. That wicked mother-in-law is threatening her daughter. Xiao Hua must be trying to kill herself because of this. Sigh!” the second son sighed.

The old lady's lips trembled as she glanced at the emergency room, feeling extremely frustrated.

"I... I was terrified by Xiao Hua's mother. If she were to marry another troublemaker, I wouldn't be able to discipline her. How was I supposed to know that the young widow was like this..." The old lady was filled with self-reproach and regret.

The emergency room door opened, and the doctor came out. "They've temporarily passed the critical period. Observe them for two days, and if they stabilize, they'll be fine."
