As soon as Ye Qingqing mentioned it, Master Ye readily agreed, "Okay, let me change my clothes."
He went inside to change into clean clothes, washed his face and hands, and combed his hair. He was completely different from the dirty one he had been in before. When he saw Ye Qingqing's car, which was a Jeep Wrangler instead of the Range Rover from last time, he looked a little surprised. It seemed that the old lady's fake granddaughter was no ordinary person with money!
The Wrangler isn't cheap, and it's fuel-inefficient. Most families wouldn't buy a car with such high fuel consumption that isn't suitable for city driving. Only wealthy families would buy one, usually for travel. Driving a Wrangler in the city isn't cost-effective.
Even the biggest boss in the county doesn't drive such a luxurious car, and he's reluctant to take long trips. When he goes on long journeys, he prefers to take a bus or drive a cheap car. This fake granddaughter is acting like a real tycoon.
Master Ye opened the car door, got in, and couldn't help but sigh. He had been repairing cars for most of his life, but this was the first time he had ever ridden in such a nice car. It felt really different.
Seeing that Master Ye's lips were chapped, Ye Qingqing handed him a bottle of water, saying, "Have some water."
He took out several packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and tried to give them to him, but Master Ye refused, saying, "I can't accept them. Xiao Hua is my apprentice, it's my duty."
“We’re unfamiliar with this place, so we’ll have to rely on your help, Master. These cigarettes are for the other villagers to smoke later; I bought a lot,” Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
People in rural areas value face, especially the elderly. Offering them a cigarette shows respect and may have unexpected positive effects.
Master Ye understood her meaning, so he didn't refuse and accepted it.
"Actually, everyone else in the village sympathizes with Ah Zhen, but they don't want to get involved. They're also afraid of that wicked mother-in-law. That woman... oh dear... she's really not someone to mess with. Even the village chief is afraid of her." Master Ye shook his head when he mentioned the wicked mother-in-law.
Even a troublemaker is better than that old woman. The old lady was invincible in the production team back then, but she was defeated by this wicked old woman.
Although the old lady was fierce, she was reasonable. She wouldn't take anything that wasn't hers, even if it meant starving to death, and she wouldn't let anyone get rid of anything that wasn't hers. Such a person wasn't difficult to deal with. The most dangerous kind of woman was a domineering and unreasonable woman like Granny Zhen. She was completely unreasonable and also very strong. Three or five women couldn't beat her. Although men could beat her, they wouldn't dare to mess with her at all.
This woman takes off her clothes whenever she can't win a fight. She'll strip down to her underwear in the middle of the street and say that the man is harassing her. She'll call the police to settle things. Who would dare to mess with her like that?
The villagers kept their distance from this wicked woman, preferring to suffer a small loss rather than confront her. So, although everyone sympathized with Ah Zhen, no one stood up for her.
Ye Qingqing and Tang Yuanyuan were amazed. They had only ever seen such oddities on TV before, and they never expected that they actually existed in real life. No wonder they say that art comes from life!
Compared to that, the old lady is much more civilized and lovable.
Master Ye continued, "Ah Zhen was indeed a woman with a tragic fate. Fortunately, God had mercy and killed her foolish husband in a car accident, otherwise her suffering would have never ended."
Everyone at their auto repair shop had seen that man. He was truly stupid. A forty-year-old man was often fooled by a three-year-old child. That was bad enough, but this idiot was tall and strong, even stronger than the average man. He was also very obedient to his mother and often followed her orders, beating Ah Zhen until her face was bruised and swollen.
"They really fought fiercely, like they were beating someone to death. Ah Zhen was beaten so badly she couldn't move. That wicked woman always said that Ah Zhen was livestock they bought and that they could beat her to death. Several times the village chief had to step in to stop them, otherwise someone would have really been killed." Master Ye sighed, feeling very sorry for Ah Zhen.
