For Ye Mingcheng, that period was not only a psychological ordeal, but also a physical ordeal.
From childhood, he was cared for by several servants and never even washed a chopstick. But after arriving at the farm, he had to do heavy physical labor. Every day, countless blisters would appear on his shoulders and hands, and after they broke, they would hurt like they were being burned. But no one would care about him. If he rested for a while, he would be scolded or even beaten.
Even now, whenever Ye Mingcheng thinks back to that experience, he finds it unbelievable. If he hadn't held onto his belief in reuniting with his family and wife, perhaps he would have collapsed long ago.
Ye Mingcheng sighed. He had been confused. He had lived most of his life, but he was still not as clear-headed as Qingqing. Life is unpredictable. Who knows if the world will change in the future? It is essential to be prepared for danger in times of peace!
Seeing that Ye Mingcheng remained silent and his expression was not good, Ye Qingqing thought that she had spoken too harshly and made Ye Mingcheng lose face. She felt a little guilty. She had indeed spoken too harshly just now, especially in front of so many outsiders.
She softened her tone and said, "Dad, your idea of raising Wuchen in a lavish manner is not wrong. Daughters do need to be raised in a lavish manner. It's not that you have a wrong understanding of lavish raising. This lavishness does not refer to material wealth, but spiritual wealth. However, you have raised Wuchen into a spendthrift fool. How will she enter society in the future? Some people are ruthless and heartless. Can you protect her for the rest of her life?"
This was what she was most worried about. She had only thought that Wuchen was strong in martial arts and never thought that she would be bullied. She was just grateful that she didn't bully others. But as it turns out, a reckless man with courage but no strategy can't get by.
No matter how strong your fighting skills are, you can't beat someone with a clever mind; Wuchen is a bloody example of this.
Right now, she's only swindling some money. What if she encounters someone even more ruthless in the future who could drug her? Even if she's incredibly strong, she'll be helpless. Fortunately, that hasn't happened yet, and it's not too late to correct the mistake.
The others nodded in agreement. Doctor Ye was muddle-headed, but his eldest daughter was clear-headed and her words made sense.
“Dr. Ye, your daughter is absolutely right. Raising a girl with wealth is not the way you do it. You should let your daughter read more books. There is a whole world in books. Reading more books will broaden her horizons, increase her knowledge, and make her more shrewd. You should let your youngest daughter read more books.”
The speaker was an elderly gentleman with a scholarly air. He was also receiving an IV drip at the clinic. He strongly agreed with Ye Qingqing's words. The world is tough, and it is even harder for girls to survive than for men. They also need to read more books. As the saying goes, "A person with knowledge naturally exudes elegance."
The middle-aged woman also said, "Although I don't have a daughter, I have taught my son to be thrifty since he was a child. All the money in the family is hard-earned, and not a penny can be spent recklessly. My son is quite sensible. I give him 1,000 yuan a month, and he always has some left over. He also does part-time jobs. Although he doesn't earn much, his heart is enough."
Everyone chimed in, agreeing with Ye Qingqing and believing that Ye Mingcheng's parenting had failed and needed to be corrected.
Ye Mingcheng listened attentively. He had realized his mistake and naturally wanted to correct it. He sincerely promised that he would never give money again and even handed over his bank card and deposit slip.
"I'll keep them all for you. Just give me some living expenses every month."
Ye Qingqing accepted it without ceremony. "I'll return it to you once Wuchen has corrected his bad habits. I'll give you two thousand yuan every month. Dr. Hu will manage the clinic's money, and we'll settle accounts every two weeks. Anyway, you can't handle any money in the future. We can't give that girl any chance."
