“Xinyi is delicate and frail. You make her plow the fields here every day. I couldn’t stand it and came to help. What’s wrong with that? Besides, as long as she finishes her task, that’s enough. Peng Tian, are you jealous of me?”
He said his last words with a smile.
It's just jealousy. Jealous that he can help Su Xinyi, while Peng Tian can't.
Peng Tian gritted his teeth, unable to communicate with Ye Beiping at all. He could only channel his anger into the power of labor, desperately swinging his hoe.
Just then, a voice that was both familiar and resentful to Ye Beiping came from afar.
"Beiping, Xiaoxin, come here for a moment."
Ye Beiping and Ye Xiaoxin, who was talking to Su Xinyi, both looked in the direction of the sound. It was their second uncle, Ye Sheng.
Seeing that neither of them moved, Ye Sheng could only run up to Ye Beiping, panting heavily: "Beiping, your grandfather is sick, go and see him quickly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxin was the first to rush over, anxiously asking, "Second Uncle, what did you say? Grandpa is sick?"
Ye Beiping recalled for a moment, and it seemed that there was such a thing.
Just two days after he was arrested, his grandfather Ye Jianguo fell ill. Everyone said it was because Ye Beiping was useless and made his grandfather sick.
Ye Beiping was completely unmoved by this.
He knew all too well who his grandfather was.
When my father had the accident, my grandfather only came and took half of the compensation money; he didn't even attend the funeral.
Her grandmother, Chenxiang, went even further, saying that her mother, Tao Qiuyan, was destined to bring misfortune to her husbands, and this was the talk of the whole village.
In the few days since his rebirth, Ye Beiping hadn't seen his second uncle appear. He didn't expect him to come looking for them today because of this matter.
“Yes, he’s very ill and needs to be taken to the hospital. Your cousin and I can’t carry him, that’s why we came to call you.” Ye Sheng glanced at Ye Beiping, who remained unmoved, and frowned, “Beiping, why are you still standing there?”
Ye Beiping sneered, "Heh, Comrade Ye Sheng, if I'm not mistaken, when my father had his accident, Comrade Ye Jianguo came to my house and severed ties with us, and even took half of the compensation money. What, has Comrade Ye Sheng forgotten all of this?"
That's right. It was because Ye Beiping's father passed away that Ye Jianguo and his son Ye Sheng, worried about needing to help the orphaned widow and her family, chose to sever ties.
At the time, many people in the village were talking about this.
It only gradually subsided in the last two years.
"Beiping, even if your grandfather was wrong back then, he is still your grandfather. Now that he needs your help, are you really so heartless?" Ye Sheng was somewhat embarrassed when Ye Beiping directly pointed out what happened back then.
However, saving the old man was the priority, so he didn't blame Ye Beiping.
"Oh?" Ye Beiping raised an eyebrow and said, "Comrade Ye Sheng, your place is quite far from here, isn't it? Don't you have any neighbors? You came all this way just to ask me to help carry Comrade Ye Jianguo to the hospital. Is it because you have so few friends that no one is willing to help you?"
It has to be said that saying this to Ye Sheng's face was a complete slap in the face.
Not to mention his poor relationship with his neighbors, he had very few good relationships with anyone in the entire village. Because Ye Beiping's mother married Ye Beiping's father, Ye Jianguo refused to contribute financially, which led to Ye Beiping's maternal grandfather, Tao Jianqiang, refusing to associate with his in-laws.
If it weren't for Ye Beiping's father's honesty and integrity, Tao Jianqiang would never have married his daughter into the family.
Even worse, some women rush to sever ties with their daughters-in-law and grandchildren as soon as their sons pass away; they are the type who are shameless and only care about money.
"Ye Beiping, are you going to just stand by and watch me die?" Ye Sheng was furious and pointed at Ye Beiping, shouting, "Your grandfather treated you well when you were a child, is this how you show filial piety?"
"Hahaha."
These words brought tears to Ye Beiping's eyes as he laughed: "He's good to me because our whole family scrimps and saves, sending a pound of pork to his parents every month. When my sister and I visit them for holidays, they don't even give us a meal, they just find an excuse to send us home. Do you think I'm easy to fool just because I'm young?"
Hearing these words, Ye Xiaoxin's eyes reddened.
My initial tension was instantly replaced by disappointment and resentment.
Suddenly, just as the two sides were at an impasse, the voice of Ye Beiping's mother, Tao Qiuyan, came from afar: "Beiping, go and help take your grandfather to the hospital."
"Mom." Ye Beiping frowned as he looked at his mother approaching from a distance, somewhat speechless.
She's always been a pushover. Even though Ye Jianguo has cut ties with her over the years, her mother still sends him whatever she can during holidays, never mistreating her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
