Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Li family’s parents didn’t agree at first and even set very harsh conditions. One of them was that they didn’t allow Shao Qingyuan to buy or sell farmland in Fengkai County. Shao Qingyuan agreed without hesitation.
He had strength and could hunt. In the past few years, he had entered and left the mountains several times. He had even fought with a lone wolf. He had no problem supporting himself and his grandfather.
Chen Liang gave Shao Qingyuan and his granddaughter a house at the foot of the mountain. This house was very dilapidated, but they still had to buy it.
The two of them were penniless. Where did they get the money? It was only after Shao Qingyuan went up the mountain and caught a wild boar to sell that they finally had a place to live.
Although the house was dilapidated and there were few people, it didn’t matter. He was full of confidence in his future life.
This time, Madam Bao gave birth to another daughter.
Madam Bao hated him to death. She felt that it was because Shao Qingyuan was still in the village. He was restraining her.
The couple came to the door and hit and scolded Shao Qingyuan. Shao Qingyuan was no longer at the age where they could hit him freely.
He would retaliate and push Father Li to the ground on the spot. Father Li was down for a long time and could not get up.
Madam Bao scolded him for being unfilial and an ingrate.
For the sake of his grandfather, Shao Qingyuan didn’t react to the scolding.
However, after that day, there were rumors in the village that Shao Qingyuan was a wolf cub. It was said that he had been dirty since he was young. Not only did he steal things, but he also hit his younger siblings.
The Li couple portrayed themselves as aggrieved and bullied.
When Grandpa Li heard this, he sighed at home and often wiped his tears. “It’s my fault. I didn’t teach them well and let Qingyuan suffer.”
Shao Qingyuan didn’t feel aggrieved. He was living a very happy life now. Without the Li family’s parents’ indirect scolding and his siblings’ bullying, it was enough for him and his grandfather to be the only ones in the entire family. However, not long after, Grandpa Li fell ill.
Shao Qingyuan knew that he was heartbroken. He felt that he was very incompetent to let his children and adoptive grandson fight like fire and water. He blamed himself for being a failure in this life.
He had a heartache and caught a cold by chance. Moreover, he was old and fell down immediately.
Shao Qingyuan saw that he often talked in his dreams, saying that he did not have much time left, but he could not see his family and harmony. He would probably die with regrets.
Shao Qingyuan felt very uncomfortable. Just as he was considering whether to ease his relationship with the Li family’s parents and move back to the Li family so that his grandfather could feel better, he realized that his grandfather’s condition had suddenly worsened and the man’s mind was starting to blur.
Occasionally, he would even curse himself to the point where he could not even hold the medicine bowl.
Shao Qingyuan was very anxious and went to the county city to invite a doctor over.
The doctor said that he was poisoned. As for what poison it was, he could not find out. He was afraid that he would have to go to the prefectural city to get a doctor. He could not treat it.
Shao Qingyuan was very afraid that his grandfather would die just like that. He had just had the ability to let his grandfather live a good life. How could he accept him leaving?
He planned to bring his grandfather to the prefectural city the next day and find the best doctor. He had to treat his grandfather’s illness.
Shao Qingyuan had even prepared a carriage, but when he went to cover his grandfather with a blanket that night, he heard something that stunned him. “Shao Qingyuan, why weren’t you the one poisoned? It should have been you. Why didn’t you drink that cup of tea?”
Shao Qingyuan was stunned. He accidentally knocked over a bowl beside him.
Grandpa Li was woken up. He didn’t know if he was still dreaming or if his reaction was slow after being poisoned, but when he heard Shao Qingyuan’s unbelievable question, he blurted out some words.
