The old lady said, "He has to be handsome, have a good temper, be diligent and generous, be a good cook, and not be bad at studying. He can't be too stupid; he's not good enough for my Xiaotong. He also has to come from a good family; at least he has to be the mayor's daughter..."
In the eyes of the old lady, whose farthest trip had ever taken was to Pingjiang City, the town mayor was an extraordinary official, and the town mayor's daughter was barely a match for her grandson.
Listening to the old lady's rambling incessantly, Ye Qingqing's lips twitched. This was even more troublesome than the emperor choosing his concubines.
"Xiao Tong is still young, there's no rush. Besides, his master told him to focus on competitions these next few years and not let personal matters interfere," Ye Qingqing casually replied.
The old lady nodded vigorously, "Master is definitely right. Listen to Master. It's okay for a man to get married a little late."
The more she talked, the brighter her eyes became. Little did she know that her grandson, whom she had the least faith in, was now the most successful—a world champion! She could boast about it in the village for the rest of her life. Now, everyone in the village envied her for having such a good grandson.
Ye Hua, standing to the side, had a complicated expression and felt uneasy.
He used to look down on Ye Tong and even had people bully the idiot. But now he's just a dirty repairman, while the idiot has become a world champion. The two brothers are worlds apart. He doesn't even dare to stand in front of Ye Tong, feeling ashamed of himself.
Ah Zhen saw what he was thinking, patted his hand gently, smiled tenderly, and whispered, "We'll work hard to earn money in the future, and we'll live a good life too."
Ye Hua felt a warmth in her heart, nodded, and suddenly felt full of energy.
He really should try harder; he can't let Ah Zhen and Lele continue to live a hard life. Besides, he can't be too spineless; people will definitely say—
"Look, that good-for-nothing is the world champion's older brother!"
You have to at least make something of yourself!
To let Grandma and Ah Zhen live a good life.
The old lady saw Ye Qingqing and the others to the door, and suddenly said, "We'll go see your mother tomorrow when we have the results, so she can be happy too."
Ye Qingqing's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded. She really should tell her mother.
Watching the two leave, the old lady leaned against the door frame and sighed softly. She went back to her room and saw Ye Hua and A Zhen chatting and laughing. She felt relieved. Although she was a widow with a child to support, her grandson wasn't much better, so she could just make do.
But there were some things that needed to be made clear to this young widow. She could see that Ah Zhen was of good character and an upright person, much better than Ye Hua. Ah Zhen needed to properly supervise Ye Hua's progress.
The old lady sat down, and her gaze toward Ye Hua gradually hardened. Ye Hua and A Zhen felt uneasy, afraid that the old lady would change her mind again and disapprove of their relationship.
"Xiao Hua, you should still know about the despicable things your parents did to Qingqing's family, right?" the old lady asked sternly.
Ye Hua's expression changed slightly, her body trembled, and she lowered her head, saying softly, "I remember."
"It's good that you remember. Your father has fulfilled the poisonous oath he made; God took him away, and your mother also suffered retribution. But it is true that our family owes Qingqing's family. This time, Qingqing was able to put aside past grievances and contribute money and effort. The 300,000 yuan redemption fee and tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses were all paid by Qingqing. You two must remember this kindness and never forget it," the old lady instructed.
"I know, I won't be ungrateful." Ye Hua nodded, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
He recalled the scene of his father's gruesome death: flesh flying through the air, blood everywhere on the ground, his head and body torn to pieces...
During his first year back in the countryside, he dreamed of this scene every night and was often woken up in the middle of the night in fright.
