The old lady felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body turning cold.
Many things were not taken seriously at first, but once they came to light, upon closer reflection, they couldn't stand scrutiny at all. The more you thought about them, the more terrifying and chilling they became.
"Is it for this house?" The old lady looked around the house and gave a bitter smile.
These days she has become familiar with the people in the alley and has also learned how valuable the house under Ye Qingqing's name is. All the neighbors are extremely envious, saying that her son married a good wife and got such a big villa for free.
The old lady really didn't understand Ye Zhiguo's thinking. No matter how good other people's things are, they are still other people's. What's the point of coveting them?
Only by eating the food and vegetables we grow ourselves and spending the money we earn can we live a truly peaceful life and sleep soundly.
From a young age, she taught her three sons that if something is not theirs, they should not take it, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver. Even if they had to eat coarse food, they should never envy others who eat meat. Isn't the point of being a person to have peace of mind?
The second and third sons were both good, honest and upright, and would not do bad things, so the old lady was very at ease. But she never expected that her eldest son, who was once her greatest pride, would ignore her words and do all sorts of bad things!
What a terrible thing!
“It’s not just this one house, there are others too. Qingqing’s father’s family are capitalists.” Lu Mo didn’t go into too much detail, but the old lady understood.
The capitalists in the big city were much richer than the landlords in their hometown. They were also more unlucky at that time, but they eventually returned their assets, which must have been quite a lot. That's why the eldest son became greedy.
well!
The worst thing a person can do is be greedy!
Those who covet what doesn't belong to them usually end up in a bad way. The old lady lived a long life and saw too many people who met with bad outcomes because of greed!
Unexpectedly, her own son has now fallen into trouble because of his greed!
"I want to go see Zhiguo, is that alright?" the old lady pleaded.
Lu Mo hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
In the afternoon, Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing took the old lady to the detention center. Ye Zhiguo had not yet been convicted and could only stay in the detention center. Fang Yanming had already made arrangements, and soon they saw Ye Zhiguo.
In just one night, Ye Zhiguo looked completely different. He had a stubble beard, messy and greasy hair, and not only looked slovenly, but also gloomy. He looked eerie and unsettling.
Ye Zhiguo, wearing heavy handcuffs and leg irons, walked with a clanging sound. He saw the old lady, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes, but it was only fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure.
"Zhiguo..."
Before the old woman could speak, tears streamed down her face as she wept through the iron bars.
She never imagined that she would see her eldest son under such circumstances one day.
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo didn't go over; they kept a distance. Ye Zhiguo glanced at Ye Qingqing with a very gloomy look in his eyes. Ye Qingqing raised her head, a cold smile on her lips, showing no fear.
Ye Zhiguo lowered his head and stopped looking at her. The old lady kept nagging, but Ye Zhiguo remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Zhiguo, why did you do this? You have a stable salary, why don't we just settle down, get married, and live a peaceful life... Why did you have to go and harm people..." The old lady couldn't understand at all.
The eldest son earns a good monthly salary and has a stable job. If he finds a down-to-earth wife in his hometown and has a few grandsons, his life will definitely be better than it is now. Why should he covet what belongs to others?
The eldest brother is so confused!
