Chapter 118: The Ancestral Contract
At this time, Zhong Dushan was also confused by the golden granny in front of him.
"What are you talking about, are you a child who wants to have a wishful belly?" Zhong Dushan was very surprised.
"Yes. "Granny Kim gets straight to the point.
"Are you kidding me?"
"You think I'm joking?" said Granny Kim a little upset, and said seriously.
"But, why?" Seeing the unreasonable old woman in front of him, Zhong Dushan also put away his good temper just now, and asked coldly.
"Hmph, what a big breath, if Wei Chi Biangu knew that you were talking to me like this, he would definitely not let you go. ”
The old woman's words made Zhong Dushan dare not underestimate this person of unknown origin again.
Why, how did she know about Yuchi Biangu?
"Mother-in-law, who are you, why did you mention Mr. Wei Chi Biangu?" Zhong Dushan asked, he clearly felt that this must be a man with a story.
Granny Jin saw that Zhong Dushan's attitude was much better at this time, and then she was unhurried, she looked around, and then said, "After so many years, your family still hasn't changed." ”
The Zhong family's house has always been like this since the three families formed an alliance, and besides, this old woman just mentioned Yuchi Biangu, so how old is she?
Zhong Dushan couldn't believe it.
At this time, seeing Zhong Dushan's surprised expression, Granny Jin laughed.
"Why, I have friends from afar, and they are old friends of your Zhong family, so you won't pour me a glass of water?"
At this time, Zhong Dushan suddenly realized that he had not yet greeted this person.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was negligent. So, Zhong Dushan hurriedly took out the best tea leaves, and then served a cup of tea to this golden mother-in-law.
"That's pretty much it," Granny Kim said coldly, holding the teacup in her hand.
"Granny Jin, the juniors really don't know where you come from, and I don't know what kind of relationship you have with our family and Yuchi Biangu, so I want you to tell me about it. Zhong Dushan said politely.
"Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you. Then Granny Kim put down the teacup.
So, she began to tell a long story.
A three-hundred-year story.
A promise made three hundred years ago.
At that time, the Zhong family, the Jiang family and the Zhuang family had just won the lotus flower.
However, the next year, the lotus flower inexplicably withered.
At this time, everyone was helpless, so they thought of the respected old gentleman, who was Yuchi Biangu, that is, the person who asked them to hold a martial arts conference for the lotus back then.
However, to everyone's disappointment, there was no way for Yu Chi Biangu to do it.
It was not easy to get the lotus flower in my hands, and I can't just watch such a precious lotus wither.
So, the people of the three families knelt down for Yu Chi Biangu, hoping that the old gentleman could help them well.
However, Yu Chi Biangu was also very embarrassed, after all, he really had no way at all.
At this time, the banker's person said: "Sir, you are well-informed, even if you don't know how to be good, then please help introduce a capable person to see if it can help." ”
"Yes, yes, you are famous all over the world, and you must know a lot of talented people, so we hope you can help us. ”
The sincerity of the three families touched Yuchi Biangu, so Yuchi Biangu thought of a person, this person was none other than Granny Jin, who was sitting in the Zhong family today.
At that time, Granny Jin was just a person in her thirties.
She is a world champion in martial arts, and she is also a stunning beauty, and she once had a lover, but the two people who originally loved each other failed to come together, and once again in the martial arts dispute, the man unfortunately died.
Although Granny Jin is strong in martial arts, she still did not save the life of the man she loved, so she became withdrawn and obedient, relying on her great skill, just like those who came to her to ask for a lot of things.
When Yu Chi Biangu told the story of Granny Jin to the three families, he naturally mentioned that she was likely to put forward strange conditions, but at that time, the three families were bent on taking the lotus flower as soon as possible, so they didn't think too much about it.
Later, under the recommendation of Yuchi Biangu, Granny Jin met with the three families.
At that time, Granny Jin, in her thirties, was peerless, but she was alone, and the departure of her lover made her vow not to marry and have children for the rest of her life.
However, she knew that she had the ability to live forever, and it was a little too boring to spend this long life alone. To put it bluntly, she needs someone to accompany her.
However, the people who accompany her will eventually grow old and die, so what she needs is to constantly have someone to accompany her.
So, seeing that the three families were anxious to save the lotus, she promised that she could bring the lotus back to life, but she also offered unexpected conditions.
That is, she wants to let the future descendants of the Zhong family, the Jiang family and the Zhuang family have someone to accompany her for generations.
Specifically, no matter which family gives birth to a son first, the child must be taken away by himself, raised by himself, and then with him for the rest of his life.
After hearing this, the three families said no repeatedly.
Yes, how can you give away your own flesh and blood?
Granny Jin was also very stubborn, and when she saw such a situation, she also turned around angrily and left.
At this time, Wei Chi Biangu saw that both sides were so stubborn, so he reconciled with them.
He walked into Granny Kim's ear and told her that such a request was unacceptable to the three families, and hoped that Granny Kim would make concessions.
Granny Jin also knew that she might really be a little excessive, so she proposed that she could take away the children from the next generation, that is, the three families needed to contribute the first son of the next generation to themselves.
Such conditions are also difficult for the three families to accept.
However, Wei Chi Biangu began to mediate.
After all, the lotus flower is really important.
Later, in order to save the lotus, the three families agreed.
In this way, every other generation, the first born son will be taken away by Granny Kim.
And those who took the children and never came back.
Therefore, Granny Jin came this time to take away the child in Ruyi's belly, because this is the first son born in their generation.
When Granny Kim told Zhong Dushan everything about it, Zhong Dushan couldn't believe his ears.
For so many years, the three families have such absurd customs.
And how could the ancestors of the three families at that time make such a cruel decision?
However, when Zhong Dushan thought about it, he understood the painstaking efforts of his ancestors at that time.
Who is willing to give their flesh and blood to others, but for the sake of the lotus, all the unbearable hearts need to be put down.
Zhong Dushan has always felt that he has done a lot for the lotus flower and sacrificed a lot, and now it seems that such a sacrifice is simply not worth mentioning compared to his ancestors.
"But how did you know that Ruyi was going to have a baby?" asked Zhong Dushan.
Granny Jin smiled, her voice full of contempt: "What's so difficult about this, I don't know anything." ”
As a result, Zhong Dushan also felt that the question he asked was simply ridiculous.
What else can't this person who was able to save the lotus do back then?
At this time, Zhong Dushan seemed to remember something, so he asked, "But"
"But what?" Granny Jin was a little unhappy when she saw that Zhong Dushan still distrusted herself like this, as if her authority had been violated.
"Since you came to take away Ruyi's child, it means that the last child was from the next generation, that is to say, this is still from our generation, but I just know that our Zhong family only has one son, Zhuang Rusheng, and the Jiang family only Jiang Rufeng. Of the three of us, Jiang Rufeng is the biggest, so who was taken away?"
"Hahaha, do you know, in fact, the Jiang family was not just a son back then. Granny Kim said, the mystery of wireless.
"What's going on? Could it be that Jiang Rufeng still has a brother?" Zhong Dushan felt more and more strange.
"You're right, Jiang Rufeng does have an elder brother named Jiang Ruyun. ”
"What? But how come I never heard my father say that. ”
"Of course," Granny Jin glanced at Zhong Dushan, and then said coldly: "This kind of thing is the painful experience of your three families, how can anyone talk about it and keep talking about it." Granny Kim said.
Zhong Dushan was very disgusted with this person at the moment, it was really because of him, how many originally happy children for her to take away, and how many originally happy families for her to destroy.
"But how do you know that Ruyi's belly is a boy?" asked Zhong Dushan. In his heart, he still hopes that this time, Granny Jin will run for nothing.
"Because, I just went to the dealer's house. Granny Jin said with a smile, and her smile was full of provocation.
Zhong Dushan was speechless.
It seems that this Granny Kim is really prepared.
However, do you want to watch Brother Zhuang's grandson being taken away by this old woman?
At this moment, Zhong Dushan felt very sorry for Zhuang Rusheng.
Back then, when Zhuang Rusheng went to Yunyou, he gave all the lotus flowers to himself, and because of his trust in himself, he also married Forsythia to Zhong Shen, and before leaving, he also told himself to take care of Forsythia and Zhuang Zhongren.
Now it seems that he is really ashamed of Zhuang Rusheng.
Although this is a rule set by the ancestors, Zhong Dushan suddenly had an idea at this moment.
So, he had the courage to say to Granny Jin: "Granny Jin, the junior wants to ask you something. ”
"What's the matter?" Granny Jin glanced at Zhong Dushan and felt that he would not regret it, so she was very vigilant.
"It's been three hundred years now, isn't it? ”
"Yes," Granny Jin didn't know what kind of medicine she was buying in a gourd in the twilight mountain.
"It's been three hundred years, do you want to continue?" Zhong Dushan asked.
"What do you mean?" Granny Kim was furious.
Zhong Dushan did not speak.
"Back then, it was I who saved the lotus, if it weren't for me, you people wouldn't even be able to see the scum of the lotus. Granny Kim was a little excited.
"I know. Zhong Dushan said unhurriedly: "It was indeed because of your great help back then, we are naturally grateful to Dade, but after so many years, you have also taken away so many children from our three families, isn't this enough?"
"What, you mean I'm insatiable?" said Granny Kim, speechless.
"The juniors don't dare. ”
"Okay, let me tell you, back then, I had a contract with the three of you, besides, the guarantor back then was still Wei Chi Biangu, what's the matter, do you want to regret it?"
"I just want to know, what if we don't give you a child this time?" Zhong Dushan said in a righteous manner for the sake of Zhuang Rusheng.
"Hmph" Granny Jin smiled and said, "Okay, you Zhong Dushan, I didn't expect that for so many years, the Zhong family would have such a treacherous and unfilial son as you." ”
Zhong Dushan didn't speak, he was waiting for Granny Jin's conditions.
Seeing that Zhong Dushan didn't react, Granny Jin smiled coldly and said, "Zhong Dushan, you know, three hundred years ago, I had the ability to save the lotus, and three hundred years later, I also have the ability to destroy the lotus. ”
After saying that, Granny Jin left without looking back.
At this moment, Zhong Dushan stood there blankly, and then felt the despair that he had never felt before.
