Having reached this point in the story, Ye Shaohua crumpled up a piece of paper on the table and threw it away.
This family was really too poor; "impoverished and underdeveloped" would be an apt description.
"It's good that you're able to come out," said Grandma Ye, who had been worried all night. Now that she saw Shaohua emerge, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go check on the rice paddies. If you didn't pass the exams, then so be it. Just remember, being the top scorer is never the focal point of life, but I still hope you can venture out into the world."
After saying this, Grandma Ye walked out with her basket in tow.
She was already in her seventies but other than some white hair, she barely showed signs of aging.
She was spry and had planted quite a lot of crops by herself.
Because the village was located in a remote area without proper roads, most people lived with financial constraints.
