Chapter 659: Spoiling a Child is Like Killing Him
Grandpa Gu was so excited that he trembled as he spoke, "Before your sister died, she was always worried about you. She held my hand and told me to find you."
"It's all my fault. I am sorry to the ancestors of the Ye family, and even more sorry to my sister." Ye Qingzhou's eyes were filled with tears.
"Grandpa, uncle, let's eat." Su Shuoci saw the children looking at the food on the table eagerly.
"Okay, let's eat first."
When Ye Qingzhou saw the delicious food, his eyes lit up and he just started eating without saying a word. Grandpa Gu wasn't very hungry, so he kept helping him pick up some food.
Su Shuoci was busy helping his wife and children pick up food, and occasionally asked his son and daughter if they had any particular favorite dishes.
The children were all very curious about why their great uncle had fallen into such a state.
After Ye Qingzhou had eaten and drunk his fill, Su Shuoci took out the jade pendant he had imitated and returned it to him, "Uncle, this is the jade pendant you gave me that year."
"Hey! Actually, this jade pendant was given to my fifth sister by my mother, and I stole it."
Ye Qingzhou paused for a moment and slowly told him about his experience. Their Ye family is a medical family.
During the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestor of the Ye family was once appointed as the head of the Imperial Medical Service, and most of the Ye family's descendants also studied medicine.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Ye family was not greatly affected, after all, the Ye family's descendants made a living by their medical skills.
No matter if they were rich or poor, they had to consult a doctor when they were sick, so the Ye family lived a relatively comfortable life thanks to their medical skills.
Ye Qingzhou is considered the direct descendant of the Ye family. He has five older sisters, so he has been pampered since he was born.
Not only is he spoiled by his mother, but he is also spoiled without limits by his five sisters. As the saying goes, spoiling a child is like killing him.
Forget about letting him study medicine, he even finds learning to read and write difficult. He just throws tantrums all day long and wants to learn everything.
On the contrary, all the cousins from the side branches of the Ye family worked very hard. The Ye family had someone to support it, and the burden of developing the family did not fall on Ye Qingzhou.
When he grew up, he had no other special talents except romance.
When he was eighteen, his parents arranged a marriage for him, the eldest daughter of the Li family.
Just because the eldest daughter of the Li family was obedient, she was bound by traditional customs since childhood and was forced to bind her feet.
And she is a clever and skillful girl. Ye's parents know that their son is uneducated, so they want to find a virtuous daughter-in-law.
She heard that her father had already found a marriage for her, and that a good marriage would be the ultimate happiness in her life.
Her father told her that the young man he was looking for this time was called Ye Qingzhou. Although he was a little ordinary, his family background was extraordinary.
The eldest daughter of the Li family was full of anticipation and curiosity. She was curious about her future husband, but she didn't know who he was.
The two families arranged a meeting. When the eldest daughter of the Li family saw Ye Qingzhou for the first time, she was attracted by his handsome eyes.
She was pleasantly surprised by Ye Qingzhou's words and deeds; he came from a distinguished family yet was very approachable.
His temperament and image are quite consistent with the ideal husband imagined by the eldest daughter of the Li family.
Ye Qingzhou was not only uneducated but also very fond of beautiful women. He was a typical playboy of that era.
It was not that he was afraid of remaining single if he disobeyed his parents, but he was also attracted by the beautiful and gentle appearance of the eldest daughter of the Li family, so he quickly agreed to get married.
Wenwen and Xuanxuan rolled their eyes when they heard this, but they were also curious about why their great uncle ended up on the streets.
So they didn't interrupt and just helped their sister peel melon seeds while listening. Little did they know that the big melon that would make them explode was behind.
After the eldest daughter of the Li family married Ye Qingzhou, she hoped to become his ideal wife.
However, the reality made her face heavy housework and child-rearing. Day after day, her face was gradually covered by fatigue and life.
They had a son a year after their marriage. However, Ye Qingzhou did not become more sensible because of having a son.
Instead, she hung out with those playboys and stayed out all night.
The youngest daughter of the Li family was intelligent and studious, so she was given a special education. She did not want to bind her feet, and the Li family did not force her.
She was able to pursue knowledge from a young age, learning to read and write with a tutor, thus breaking away from the traditional practice of foot binding.
She had a thirst for knowledge and displayed an amazing memory and intelligence that improved over time.
She not only mastered a wealth of knowledge, but also developed the ability to think independently.
Her love and understanding of new-style education won her a place.
As her knowledge accumulated, the youngest daughter of the Li family gradually developed a passion for fashion.
She began to pursue clothing and hairstyles that were different from traditional ones, showing her unique taste.
She is at the forefront of the times, exploring new trends and showing her own personality.
After meeting his sister-in-law, Ye Qingzhou's attitude towards his wife became even colder.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Although he is a playboy, his ideal woman is a partner who can walk side by side with him and pursue their ideals together.
But his wife was trapped in trivial housework and became a stranger in Ye Qingzhou's mind.
For three years, he was completely unaware of his wife's efforts, and was only faced with boredom and busyness day after day.
Only her son's joy brought her a moment of warmth, but Ye Qingzhou's eyes were still cold and disdainful.
The two sisters of the Li family have been close since childhood. Although the sisters have very different personalities, their family bond is unbreakable.
The Li sisters lost their mother at a young age, and the elder sister became the most important supporter in her life.
One summer day, the younger sister of the Li family decided to stay at her sister's house for a few days.
Ye Qingzhou had an unconcealable admiration for his sister-in-law before. When he saw her at home, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
The younger sister of the Li family was also deeply impressed by this brother-in-law whom she had never met before, because he was very handsome.
Although Ye Qingzhou didn't like studying medicine, he had great eloquence, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to deceive Su Shuoci.
This meeting created a spark of love between the two of them, simply because the younger sister of the Li family had avant-garde ideas.
As an excellent playboy, it is not surprising that Ye Qingzhou likes his sister-in-law.
However, their love soon became the focus of attention of both families' elders.
Li's father was even more indignant and vowed to cut off all ties with his youngest daughter.
Ye Qingzhou simply ran away with his sister-in-law and took away a lot of money from the family, including the jade pendant.
He also knew that the jade pendant was a family heirloom of the Ye family, and that his mother wanted to give it to her youngest daughter, his fifth sister.
Ye Qingzhou's father was furious when he heard the news. Due to his poor health, the sudden news made his condition worse and he died soon after.
The Ye family fell into the hands of Ye Qingzhou's second uncle. His second uncle was a bad housekeeper and they were wiped out soon after.
After his sister-in-law had spent most of his money, she took away the last bit of it.
Ye Qingzhou became penniless, and he had no ability to make money...
"Tsk tsk... We must learn skills to earn money. Our uncle has such a good family background, but if we don't have the skills, we will have to beg for food for the rest of our lives." Wenwen Xuan said seriously.
