Chapter 381: Betrayal
The finite nature of human life is not a bad thing sometimes, and for those who are not so happy, the end of life can be regarded as finally letting go of a heavy burden.
It's just that the living have to continue to live.
Luo Ze arranged his wife's funeral with his crying daughter in his arms, and most of the Purple Flower people came to attend the funeral, but few people were really sad.
Some people even think that after Jun Qianqian died, the patriarch Luo Ze could finally marry a stronger woman from his own clan.
What's more, Jun Qianqian gave birth to a daughter, and her mother was useless in their eyes, even if she brought fire and brought all kinds of ways to make them rich, the people still thought she was unlikable.
Luo Ze and Jun Qianqian's daughter was named Xia Lan, which the two had talked about before, and the boy who gave birth was called Xia Feng, and the girl was called Xia Lan.
And when Xia Lan was not three months old, someone in the clan urged Luo Ze to marry again.
Roze was bewildered.
He was still immersed in grief, he had lost his beloved wife, and the days of the past few months were muddy, his mind was full of his daughter's crying, and he didn't know how to get through it.
At this juncture, the people persuaded him to marry again.
It was as if Jun Qianqian's death was just a burden for him.
Several couples told him that as long as he was willing to remarry, Xia Lan could be handed over to them to take care of, and it would never affect his newlywed life.
Luo Ze was going to be laughed at angrily.
Not only the Purple Flower Tribe, but also the entire southern tribes, in fact, there are very few cases where the child survives and the mother dies, even if it is difficult to give birth, the most born baby will die, or the mother and child are safe.
For a few years, these mothers will not have to leave the tribe's territory, and when the autumn harvest comes, they only need to stay in the tribe and help other tribesmen who go out to take care of the older children.
But Xia Lan lost her mother, and her survival depended on her widower father Luo Ze, which was too rare in the Purple Flower Tribe, and everyone felt that this child could not survive, so it was better to leave it to someone else to take care of, lest this child still occupy the patriarch's time.
If the patriarch really likes children, has the kung fu to raise Xia Lan, and marries a wife, he can have several more.
The woman with the purple flower has been in good shape all these years, and this time she will definitely be able to give birth to strong offspring for the patriarch.
When both Daze and Kaisha came to persuade him to give up his biological daughter, Luo Ze finally saw the true faces of this group of people.
It turns out that this is what Jun Qianqian has been silently bearing, everyone is greedy, when their own ability is insufficient, they pin their hopes on the strong, admiring and criticizing at the same time, like a mosquito and fly parasitic on the body of a beast to suck blood.
It's just that all the dissatisfaction in the past was poured on Jun Qianqian's body, she is a foreigner, she is weak, but she has been protected by a strong person like Luo Ze, not only the women in the clan, all the clansmen are equally jealous, and now that she is dead, these people began to ask Luo Ze to sacrifice with confidence.
He was nothing more than a sacrifice to his people, who wanted nothing more than to devour his flesh.
Luo Ze recalled Jun Qianqian before her death, no wonder she always looked at him with an almost sympathetic look, she knew all those vicious words, but she never told him, and never hoped that he, a man as a husband, would support her.
Because they are all the same, Luo Ze is no different from the others, they should cling to her body to suck blood, and those achievements that should have belonged to her were all stolen by him with her acquiescence.
He is just a fool, he doesn't know anything, Jun Qianqian has always borne the pressure from the people, silently guarding him, but he has never really cared about Jun Qianqian.
Until the last moment of her life, she was still quiet, not asking, not talking or complaining.
Luo Ze couldn't do it without resentment.
Even though the tribesmen bombed repeatedly, Luo Ze still did not remarry in the end, he decided to raise Xia Lan alone, and also made it clear that he would not be the patriarch until he died, and when he was old and his body began to weaken, he would give this position to others.
Many people can't understand Luo Ze's decision, but he is still the most powerful person in the tribe, and no one dares to disobey his words.
Xia Lan grew up day by day, even if Luo Ze was not a careful father, she was a girl with the same delicate mind as her mother.
Her senses were very acute, and she could feel that not only children of the same age in the tribe, but even adults were a little disgusted with her.
She tried her best to please Daze and Kaisha, and these two also persuaded Luo Ze to give up their daughter, but under Luo Ze's insistence, the husband and wife persuaded them again, and they also cared for Xia Lan.
Xia Lan carried Luo Ze on her back, and it took a lot of time to piece together the image of her mother.
And this matter was known to Luo Ze, and seriously angered him.
Because Charan believes that her mother is an unlikable, selfish, insidious and despicable woman.
She blamed her mother for the prejudice she had received since she was a child, and when she was playing, she yelled in front of her peers to draw a line with her mother, which was heard by Luo Ze.
Xia Lan, who had never been beaten since she was a child, was slapped twice by her father Luo Ze.
Xia Lan was beaten and frightened, and the people around her hid, and she was the only one who sat helplessly on the ground, crying miserably.
In the past, her crying for her father's black face was very effective.
But today she miscalculated, Luo Ze not only did not relent, but also carried her clothes back home and made her kneel at the door.
"Your mother lost her life to give birth to you, and since you don't want to have anything to do with her, give her back this life."
Luo Ze punished Xia Lan, even if she cried and admitted her mistakes and kept praying, he didn't give Xia Lan food and water, as if he was determined to kill her.
Xia Lan was very scared, she wanted to escape, but she couldn't disobey Luo Ze at all, Luo Ze's body was no longer in its peak state over the years, but it was more than enough to beat her a little girl.
Fear eroded the girl's heart, she was only a teenager, and her father, who raised her, wanted her to die, panic gave birth to despair, and despair gave birth to hatred.
She knelt in the empty room that was said to have been her mother's delivery room, and listened to the people outside the house constantly asking Luo Ze to intercede, but Luo Ze coldly refused.
Xia Lan was tired and hungry, kneeling for a long time and catching a cold and fever, in a trance I don't know how long it took, she fell into a coma, and when she woke up, she was still in the house where her mother died.
In the end, it was Daze who stunned Luo Ze with a bowl of medicine, and finally rescued Xia Lan, who fell asleep for eight days before waking up again.
At that time, Xia Lan hated Luo Ze very much in his heart.
