Is the sentence correct
I had one sibling who worked in the factory and another who was a student. With only one of the two willing to work hard, their lifestyles were different / With only one of them willing to work hard, their lifestyles were different.
Is second sentence can be written in two ways as shown above.
Is the second sentence grammatically correct? Stylistically easy to read?
Is the reference to "two"/"them"/"one of the two"/"one of them" clear?

Why are these two versions correct? This may not be grammar issue but style issue but could the reference to two/them from a previous sentence not confuse the reader.
