Ye Peng was left standing there dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ye Caiping's gaze fell on Ye Peng, and she said coldly:
"Ye Peng, if you and Jin'er weren't cousins, I would never have agreed to your marriage. My son-in-law can be poor, unambitious, and content with his lot, but he absolutely cannot be cowardly, selfish, or irresponsible!"
Ye Peng suddenly looked up; he wasn't...
But Ye Caiping had already turned around and led Huan'er into the house.
Seeing that there was no more show to watch, the villagers gradually dispersed.
Ye Peng was left standing there, dumbfounded.
At this moment, Old Man Ye and Old Woman Ye walked up to him, their expressions complicated.
Finally, Old Man Ye sighed softly and stared at him intently: "Peng'er, you really are not good enough for Jin'er!"
Ye Peng's face turned ashen: "Grandpa, even you look down on me..."
Old Man Ye shook his head: "You're really not good enough for me! I'm not talking about family background, but about your character."
"Between you and Jin'er... Jin'er is courageous and responsible. She admits her mistakes, doesn't run away or make excuses, and is willing to take responsibility for everything. She is a good girl with courage."
"And what about you? Because you were afraid of her rejection, you didn't even dare to talk to her. Instead, you chose to hide behind the Wei family and secretly plot against her without her consent."
“Caiping is right, you are cowardly, selfish and irresponsible! Peng’er, I am very disappointed in you.”
As he spoke, Old Man Ye's eyes reddened.

“Jin’er goes to the Shen family for classes, and her family is getting richer and richer, which broadens her horizons… Just because of this, she thinks I’m not ambitious enough, and says we can’t talk to each other anymore… Why is that?”
Old Man Ye stared at him intently for a long while:
"Why? Tell me why! Caiping's business is growing, and the family will get better and better. If Jin'er doesn't make any progress, how can she take over the family business? Is she just going to run around the mountain with you like a fool every day?"
"Even if we take a step back and assume that Jin'er doesn't take over the family business, she is still Cai Ping's daughter, and her way of dealing with people represents Cai Ping's reputation! She must strive to improve herself!"
"You just said it yourself, you're scared! Because you see her striving for success! And what about you? Since you know this, why don't you strive for success for her sake? Why don't you keep up with her pace?"
