Ye Qingqing, who was in the car, heard this and frowned. The person who brought the congratulatory gift said that the old lady was in good health. How could she suddenly be unwell?
Master Ye scrutinized Lu Mo closely, unable to discern his origins, and cautiously asked, "Has Ye Hua been doing something bad outside?"
"No, Master, don't overthink it. I just heard he works here, so I was passing by and wanted to see how he is doing."
Master Ye had a sudden thought and guessed Lu Mo's identity. Almost everyone in the village knew about Ye Hua's background. They also knew that Old Lady Ye had a grandson in Pingjiang. His family was very wealthy and often sent money to the old lady. The handsome grandson would also come to visit the old lady. It was said that he was a world champion or something. The old lady was always very proud when she talked about it.
Moreover, the grandson in the city was mentally challenged when he was young. Master Ye had met the child and he was indeed not very bright. Who would have thought that he would grow up to be a world champion? It is said that the child's half-sister is also a skilled doctor and cured her brother. That half-sister got married recently to a young and promising big boss. The wedding banquet alone cost several million.
Master Ye looked at the car again. A banquet costs several million, so a car worth a million or so is nothing.
“That child is being well-behaved by his grandmother now. He works hard and only keeps 500 yuan of his monthly salary for himself, giving 1,000 yuan to his grandmother to save. He doesn’t spend money recklessly and even saves money to send to his mother in prison. He is very filial and sensible.”
Master Ye said honestly that when the boy first came back, he was indeed not very good. He did a lot of petty theft, and things were always going missing from the village. One family would lose a piece of meat, another a fish, and sometimes even freshly laid eggs would go missing, all because Ye Hua stole them.
When the old lady found out, she returned all the things and then had her two sons tie up the boy, hang him from a tree, and whip him. She whipped him every time he stole something, and the old lady whipped him herself, cursing him as she did so. She also said that if he didn't change his ways, she would beat him to death with her own hands to prevent him from harming others in the future.
To be honest, the old lady really put a lot of effort into Ye Hua. After all, the child had already gone astray and was not young, so it wouldn't be easy to straighten him out. But that didn't stump the old lady. She firmly believed in the old saying that "spare the rod and spoil the child." If he didn't listen, she would beat him, and after beating him, he would go to work. If he didn't work, he wouldn't eat. This was the simplest philosophy of life that the old lady believed in, but it was also the purest philosophy of living.
One must rely on one's own hands to earn a living. One should not covet what is not one's own. Ye Zhiguo was greedy, which is why he harmed others and himself, and ultimately met a terrible end.
That's why the old lady put so much effort into Ye Hua, because she was worried that this child would follow in his father's footsteps, dying herself and harming others instead.
Whenever she thinks about how Xu Yali was killed by her son right under her nose, the old lady is terrified and can't eat. She feels sorry for Xu Yali's family, that she didn't raise her son well, and that's why they were able to ruin what was originally a happy family of three.
After listening to the words of several masters, Lu Mo was still gratified. Whether Ye Hua succeeds or not is not important. At least Ye Hua has grown up, and the old lady's efforts have not been in vain.
The county town was nearly an hour away from the old lady's village, and the road conditions were very bad. Around 11 o'clock, we finally entered the village. Smoke was rising from some houses, and the village was peaceful.
Ye Qingqing found the old lady's house based on her memory. It was very tidy, with vegetables planted in the yard and chickens raised. It was clean and full of life.
Before even entering the courtyard, I could hear the old woman's powerful voice cursing, "As long as I'm alive, you can forget about getting along with that widow!"
