Ye Tianshun stared at Luo Xiu, but looked away when Luo Xiu's eyes met his. After a long silence, he spoke with difficulty: "Have you... thought it through?"

Luo Xiu was confused by Ye Tianshun's abnormal behavior, but she had always wanted to marry Mu Yu as her granddaughter-in-law.

She said, "Uncle San, I haven't figured out whether I can ask you to calculate an auspicious date?"

"Hehe, how about we think about it again?" Ye Tianshun blurted out.

The smile on Luo Xiu's face froze instantly. If she didn't know Ye Tianshun's character, she would have been unable to hold back and started scolding him. How could her grandson not be worthy of marrying a good wife just because he was a bit of a slacker?

"Uncle San, you know my temper. I won't do anything fake. Just say what you want to say." Luo Xiu said seriously.

Having said that, Ye Tianshun did not cover up any more and said bluntly: "You know what happened two days ago, right?"

Could it be that the rascal suddenly disappeared for three days? Could it be that the rascal did something out of the blue? Everyone in the village knew about it, so they hid it from her for fear of scaring her?

Luo Xiu's heart suddenly jumped, but he tried to speak calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Ahem, you don't know?" Ye Tianshun was a little surprised. He added, "It's about... the educated youth being dragged away by Ye Laizi..."

Luo Xiu rolled her eyes at Ye Tianshun, and her heart suddenly settled down. She said disapprovingly, "What do I think of it?"

"Of course I know about this."

Ye Tianshun was somewhat stunned by Luo Xiu's casual tone. Everyone in the village knew how much she loved her grandson Ye Yang. She even went so far as to divide the family property for him a long time ago.

Divide the family!

In rural areas, if the elderly had not died, how many people alive would have reached the point of dividing the family property?

Which old person doesn’t sincerely hope for four generations living under one roof, with children and grandchildren around, and enjoying the happiness of family?

But Luo Xiu did it for Ye Yang!

Therefore, Ye Tianshun couldn't understand why an old man who loved his grandson so much would be willing to let Ye Yang marry a woman who was not a virgin?

Ye Tianshun: "Then the educated youth... do you mind this?"

"I mind." Luo Xiu said honestly.

"Then..." Ye Tianshun looked at Luo Xiu in confusion.

"But it's not her fault, it's all the fault of that worthless Ye Laizi. She's a good girl. If it weren't for this, Xiao Yu would be the golden phoenix, how could it be my stinky boy's turn? Third uncle, we are all family. To be honest, I know my grandson's temper. When Ye Yang was put in jail because of Xiao Yu, I knew that someone else was bullying Xiao Yu, but I also know that my boy treats Xiao Yu differently. When has he ever been involved in women's affairs?" Luo Xiu paused: "Third uncle, Ye Yang is already 26 years old. Others would have become fathers at this age, and some who got married early would become grandfathers in two years. How can I not be anxious?"

"Uncle San, I don't know how long my broken body can last. If I don't see Ye Yang get married and have children, how can I have the face to go and see Aiguo?" Luo Xiu choked up slightly when he said this.

If she had stopped Aiguo, would he not have left so early? He was less than 30 years old when he left.

Ye Tianshun coughed, looked up at Ye Ying who was leaning against the door, and sighed. Wasn't he the same?

"Aiguo is a good kid. He won't blame you." Ye Tianshun knocked on the table, his face suddenly serious. He continued, "You also said that this educated youth is a good person. Then uncle also asks you a question from the bottom of his heart. Will you use this matter to torture her in the future? Marriage is a big deal. It is about the good relationship between two families, not a nest of resentment and unrest in the family."

Luo Xiu knew what Ye Tianshun was worried about as soon as she heard it. She answered hesitantly, "Third Uncle, I've made up my mind. No matter what Xiao Yu did before, she will only be my granddaughter-in-law from now on. I love her so much that I can't wait to torture her like a vicious mother-in-law."

Seeing the serious expression on Luo Xiu's face, Ye Tianshun flashed a faint smile in his eyes.

Girl, you are kind to my granddaughter, but this is all the help I can give you.

"it is good!"

"Yingzi, bring the books in the box to grandpa."

Ye Tianshun muttered to himself while holding the calendar, and finally picked out an auspicious day. He said, "The next good day is three days from now."

"Three days?" Luo Xiu shook his head after hearing this: "It's too rushed. Although my family is poor, I can't let Xiao Yu down."

"Ahem, the next good day is the 27th of next month."

"It takes a while." Luo Xiu curled her lips, not quite satisfied. She continued to ask, "Uncle San, is there no one closer?"

"No."

After hearing the definite answer, Luo Xiu was depressed for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face again. Xiao Yu couldn't run away anyway, so he just regarded it as a good thing that would take time.

"Okay then." Luo Xiu pushed the things he brought in again: "Uncle San, thank you for your help. When Ye Yang holds a banquet next month, remember to come and drink."

Luo Xiu chatted a few more words about family matters and then got up and left.

Looking at Luo Xiu's departing back, Ye Tianshun's smile deepened a little. Her niece-in-law was not just saying that she was kind to others. Maybe...

"Grandpa, are Sister Mu and Uncle Yang going to get married?" Ye Ying asked curiously, blinking his eyes.

"Ah."

"But... Grandpa, Uncle Yang is so old? Sister Mu looks like his daughter, how can they get married?" Ye Ying's face wrinkled like a cucumber, obviously she didn't understand.

"Hahaha." Ye Tianshun was amused by Ye Ying's childish words, but soon he began to cough violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

Ye Ying's face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly ran down from the bed, poured a glass of boiled water and brought it over. While rubbing Ye Tian's back, she held the bowl and fed him water.

The child was obviously only half-grown and as thin as a stick, but he was able to support an old man who weighed over 100 kilograms even though he was skinny.

Tears glistened in Ye Ying's eyes. She blamed herself and said, "Grandpa, it's all Yingzi's fault."

Ye Tianshun laughed and said, "Don't blame Yingzi, it's just Grandpa's old problem."

"Yingzi, do you like that Mu Zhiqing very much?" Ye Tianshun asked casually, but there was a depth in his eyes that Ye Ying could not understand.

"I like it." Speaking of Mu Yu, Ye Ying narrowed his eyes happily, a bright smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and his little mouth kept moving.

"Grandpa, Sister Mu is so beautiful, like a fairy."

"Grandpa, Sister Mu is a very nice person. She even secretly gave Yingzi White Rabbit candies."

......

Ye Tianshun had heard these words many times in the past half month, but he acted as if he was hearing them for the first time, without any impatience at all.

After a while, noticing that Ye Ying was a little tired, he spoke at the right time: "Yingzi, Grandpa is tired, can you tell Grandpa tomorrow?"

Ye Ying felt a little unsatisfied, but seeing that Grandpa was really sleepy and she was also a little thirsty, she nodded and said, "Okay, then Yingzi will tell Grandpa tomorrow."

"Okay. Yingzi, go out and play. Grandpa can take a nap."

Ye Ying covered Ye Tianshun with a quilt, drank a bowl of water, and then hurried to the fields. It was still early and she could still earn a few cents by going to the fields.

After Ye Ying left, Ye Tianshun threw away the blood-stained handkerchief, walked tremblingly to the willow tree in the yard on his crutches, spat on his hands, and started digging with a shovel.

After a long time, the sun set and Ye Tianshun, sweating profusely, dug out an exquisite wooden box from the soil.

Nostalgia and sadness flashed across his eyes, and then he gently brushed off the dirt and walked towards the house with staggering steps. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, and he felt inexplicably lonely.
