The small mound behind the wooden tombstone must have been cleared away recently, with a small pile of dried weeds and corpses lying next to it. It was probably something Qin Xiang'e had done while sweeping the tomb.
“You have no idea, the grass on your dad’s and grandpa’s graves had grown to two meters high before.”
As Qin Xiang'e spoke, she set out incense.
There was already a small door made of bricks in front of the small mound, which was no higher than an adult's knee. It looked like the entrance to a tomb. Qin Xiang'e stuffed some of the gold ingots and paper money she had prepared into the small door and lit them with a match.
A blazing fire suddenly rose up.
As Qin Xiang'e added gold ingots to the pot, she said, "Big brother, father, Zhengzi has brought his wife to see you."
"You two must have wanted to meet our daughter-in-law for a long time. Now you've met her, haven't you? Isn't she beautiful? Our Zhengzi is really lucky. I was thinking that your graves must have been burned down and smoke was rising, which allowed him to marry such a good wife who is both capable and beautiful."
"Last time I told you two that Zhengzi's wife gave us a precious baby girl, and now she's pregnant again!"
"I don't know what it is, and it doesn't matter. It's just that childbirth is quite difficult. When she gave birth to her daughter, Zhengzi was almost scared to death. Please bless her so that this pregnancy will be safe and sound..."
The cold grave gradually warmed up as the woman murmured softly.
A gentle breeze blew by, brushing against Ye Yun's cheeks, like a tender gaze, causing her hair to flutter slightly.
She called out in response.
"Father, Grandpa."
The breeze became even gentler.
Qin Zheng picked up a shovel, walked a short distance away, dug up some yellow soil, and came back to add it to the graves of the two old men.
Grandpa's name is very nice.
—Qin Jinshu.
At first glance, one is immediately struck by the scholarly atmosphere, which speaks volumes about the grandfather's background and the foundation of the Qin family's ancestors.
Unfortunately, this background made them a target of public criticism during a special period. No matter how the Qin family rose to power, they were eventually divided up, and their descendants were labeled as having a bad class background.
Poverty became a source of pride.
Families with a bad social class will face discrimination wherever they go; their daughters will have difficulty getting married and finding wives.
But Qin Zheng's father is a good person.
The Qin family's ancestral virtues are also quite good.
Although his ancestors were landlords, Old Master Qin had always been a virtuous and benevolent person. In addition, Qin Zheng's father was good-looking and a steady person, so his marriage was not greatly affected. After reaching marriageable age, matchmakers kept coming to his door to propose marriage.
Unfortunately, he fell into Li Xiuying's trap without realizing it.
According to Qin Xiang'e, it was Li Xiuying who used tricks to get close to Qin Zheng's father.
As for how she got involved, Qin Xiang'e didn't go into the details. She only said that Li Xiuying had falsely accused Qin Zheng's father of having physical intimacy with her, which ruined her reputation. She said that if Qin Zheng's father didn't marry her, she would jump into the river and commit suicide.
Spit can drown a person.
People don't really care about the truth; they just want to talk about what they want to see, or even what they're just guessing.
Even if you didn't do it, if everyone says so, then you did it.
Qin Zheng's father did nothing wrong, yet he got himself into trouble for no reason. He still had parents to support, and he couldn't bear to spend the rest of his life being pointed at and talked about, with his parents and relatives unable to hold their heads high because of him. He also couldn't just stand by and watch Li Xiuying jump into the river. In the end, he was forced to accept his fate.
Qin Xiang'e also said that Li Xiuying started causing trouble after marrying into the Qin family.
She resented Qin Zheng's father for not knowing how to care for others and for being indifferent to her, arguing with him frequently.
She had already gotten what she wanted.
If she could have lived a peaceful life with Qin Zheng's father and hadn't been so noisy, perhaps Qin Zheng's father wouldn't have been so depressed and passed away so early.
If he hadn't married Li Xiuying, Qin's father probably wouldn't have lived such a short life...
But who can control fate?
Ye Yun burned incense for Qin Zheng's father and then for Qin Zheng's grandfather, and kowtowed to both of them, thus formally introducing the new bride to her ancestors.
I am also grateful to them for keeping Qin Zheng.
The Qin family are all good people.
On the way down the mountain, the atmosphere among the group was somewhat heavy, a feeling that persisted until they saw Guo Lili waiting at the Qin family's door.
Why is she here?
Upon seeing Guo Lili, Qin Xiang'e's face showed deep surprise.
Qin Xiang'e dislikes Guo Lili.
Every time she ran into Guo Lili, that girl would look at her with her chin held high, displaying an extremely arrogant demeanor, either pursing her lips or rolling her eyes at her.
She thought it must have been Li Xiuying who taught her.
"We finally got rid of one of the old ones, and now another one of the young ones has appeared. Why are the Guo family members so persistent?"
Qin Xiang'e grabbed Ye Yun's hand and shoved her and Qin Zheng behind a big tree nearby, saying, "You two don't go over there yet. She's probably here to see Zhengzi. She's up to no good."
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng: "..."
She and Qin Zheng didn't talk about the supply and marketing outlet, and Qin Xiang'e didn't know that they had already met Guo Lili.
Qin Xiang'e went down the mountain to deal with Guo Lili.
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng exchanged a glance and silently followed.
Hearing the commotion behind her, Qin Xiang'e turned around and saw that they were still following her. She clicked her tongue and said urgently in a low voice, "You two, don't come out. If she sees you, you won't be able to get away."
Ye Yun said, "Aunt, we've met before."
"What?"
"Yes." Qin Zheng nodded. "I already saw her at the convenience store."
"ah?"
Qin Xiang'e was stunned.
