Chapter 310 - 117: The Heart of the People_3
After a long while, someone came to open the door. It turned out to be an elderly woman in the twilight of her years, dressed in a thin cotton robe. Just by looking at her, Ye Mingyu felt cold.
When the old lady saw Ye Mingyu, it was as if she saw nothing, and she asked with confusion, "Is someone there? Who might you be...?"
This woman was blind and couldn’t see anything.
Ye Mingyu said, "Old Madam, is your son home? I’ve come to see your son." According to the booklet Jiang Li wrote for Ye Mingyu, this family clearly had a scholar son.
"You’re looking for Wenxuan?" The elderly woman said, "He’s gone out to buy tofu; he’ll be back soon. What do you need him for?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone outside said, "Mom, I’m back!"
As soon as Mo Wenxuan returned home, he saw a tall man standing in front of his house. When he turned around and saw the scar on that man’s face and his bandit-like appearance, he was startled and almost dropped the tofu. He asked, "This big brother..."
"Are you Mo Wenxuan?" Ye Mingyu scrutinized Mo Wenxuan critically. Mo Wenxuan was nearly thirty now, still unmarried and alone, but it was no wonder; his family was too poor. And he had his heart set on scholarship, but despite his efforts, he was still only a scholar. His hair was a bit messy and he sported some beard growth, wearing a cotton robe that had been washed to a pale white. His vision was poor and he had to get closer to see people clearly.
Mo Wenxuan said, "Yes."
