Chapter 468: The wine bug. You cant have your cake and eat it too.
"You can get good wine by soaking wine bugs in wine."
"Just this once, the wine bug will melt into the wine."
"Then... what about wealth?"
Zhang Ting asked hesitantly.
"When the wine bug leaves the body, wealth and honor will naturally disappear."
"However, the wine brewed by wine bugs is good wine. Drinking it can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
Xiao Xiao's words broke the Zhang family's idea of having their cake and eat it too.
They have to make a choice after all.
Is it to keep the alcohol bug in the child's body and protect their lifetime wealth at the expense of the child's body after death?
Or can you remove the wine bug and still have a vat of good health wine?
…
The living room fell into dead silence again.
The Zhang family looked at each other, with a fierce battle between heaven and man in their minds.
Xiao Xiao looked at the child who was clenching his parents' fingers uneasily. He was obviously the protagonist's child, but he was the most ignorant and showed a shy and innocent smile to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth and smiled back at the child.
If this child is allowed to choose by himself, I don’t know whether he wants to be rich for the rest of his life or have a stable life after his death.
…
"You don't have to rush to make a choice."
Seeing that the Zhang family could not make up their minds, Xiao Xiao spoke up.
Moreover, maybe his presence here has made the Zhang family a little worried and unable to discuss it freely.
"Alcohol bugs staying in a child's body will not have a bad impact on the child."
"You can wait until you make a decision before letting me know."
"Of course, if you decide not to remove the wine bug, you don't have to notify me."
"If you want to remove the alcohol bug from your child's body, you can contact me at any time."
…
"Okay, Master Xiao, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Grandpa Zhang's frown relaxed slightly.
Xiao Xiao didn't need the Zhang family to make an immediate decision, which suddenly relaxed the atmosphere in the living room, and the Zhang family all showed a somewhat apologetic smile to Master Xiao.
"I'm sorry, Master Xiao, we still need to think about it again."
Zhang Ting originally wanted to hold Master Xiao's hand, but because of Master Xiao's inexplicable aura, he raised his hand a little and then put it back.
Now, no one in the Zhang family cares about Xiao Xiao's too young age.
They all felt a sense of awe towards Xiao Xiao.
Grandma Zhang opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she just sighed.
Liu Qian knelt down and hugged the child, feeling complicated and unspeakable.
She no longer knew what choice to make.
Which option is best for the child?
Which choice will prevent her children from resenting her in the future?
…
"I see."
"You can think about it slowly."
Xiao Xiao knows that no one in the position of the Zhang family can make an easy choice.
Because this is not a simple right or wrong question.
…
"Master Xiao."
Zhang Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Can the wine bug be taken at any time?"
At any time... Xiao Xiao instantly understood what Zhang Lin meant.
The Zhang family looked at Zhang Lin in confusion.
"You want to ask, can the alcohol bug be taken out while the child is dying?"
Xiao Xiao directly said what Zhang Lin meant.
What a smart question.
…
Only then did the Zhang family understand the depth of Zhang Lin's question, and their faces showed a bit of surprise.
"Yes, Master Xiao, is this okay?"
A ray of light seemed to shine out of Liu Qian's confused eyes, illuminating her entire face.
In this way, you can not only protect the child's wealth throughout his life, but also preserve the child's body after death.
Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
…
It's a pity, how can things in this world be so smooth?
Xiao Xiao glanced around at the faces of the Zhang family, and even the Zhang family's grandma, who had always had a vague feeling of rejection, had a sense of expectation on her face.
But, they will be disappointed in the end.
"no."
Looking at the somewhat confused Zhang family, Xiao Xiao further explained, "The alcohol worm is lodged in the human body and can only be removed within the first three years."
"Once it exceeds three years, the wine bug will not leave unless the host dies."
…
"Ah, what about my child?"
Liu Qian suddenly became confused and her eyes were filled with panic.
Although she had not made up her mind before whether to remove the alcohol worm from the child's body, once she knew that the alcohol worm could not be removed, Liu Qian did not feel relieved that she did not have to make a choice, but became more and more panicked.
"This kid still has a week to three years of alcohol bug left in him."
This is what A Yu told him.
Xiao Xiao once again felt that Ayu's awakening really provided him with a lot of help.
…
"Oh, oh, it's only a week until three years."
Liu Qian's mind slowly calmed down.
As for how Xiao Xiao knew so well how long the alcohol bug stayed in the child's body, the Zhang family made a rough estimate and found that the difference was almost the same, so they became more and more in awe of Xiao Xiao.
…
"So, you only have one week to think about it."
Xiao Xiao reminded the Zhang family that even if they wanted to remove the alcohol bug from the child after the time limit, there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, okay."
Grandpa Zhang nodded frequently, and then he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Master Xiao, do you think it is better for us to take out the wine worm? Or not to take out the wine worm?"
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "This is the choice you have to make."
"I can't say much."
"Yeah?"
"Too."
Although Grandpa Zhang was a little regretful, he did not force Master Xiao to give him an answer.
If you offend Master Xiao for this, the gain will outweigh the loss.
He could still clearly see the stakes.
…
Xiao Xiao slowly walked towards the door, "They should be waiting outside the door in a hurry."
"By the way, there's one thing you need to remember."
Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked seriously, "Alcoholics are addicted to alcohol, so don't ban alcohol from your children."
"The wine bug will eat people if it can't drink wine."
…
"Eat, eat people?"
Liu Qian was shocked.
"Don't worry, just keep keeping the alcoholic drunk."
Xiao Xiao comforted him with a warm voice.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Liu Qian couldn't help but hug the child in her arms tighter. She almost lost her child.
She was so frightened that the corners of her eyes turned red.
…
Zhang Lin looked remorseful. He thought he was doing it for the good of the child, but he didn't expect that his reckless behavior almost harmed the child.
Zhang Ting patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder. The Zhang brothers had a good relationship and he knew that his younger brother had good intentions.
Moreover, Master Xiao was introduced by his younger brother’s classmate.
Before, everyone didn't understand the situation and it was inevitable that they would do something wrong. Now, the child is fine.
…
Xiao Xiao opened the door, and as expected, Meng Jixi and the others had not gone far, and had been wandering in the yard.
Seeing the door open, several people quickly walked over.
"Master Xiao."
Meng Jixi shouted.
Wang Nan and Wu Zhe looked at Xiao Xiao with strange eyes, and then called Meng Jixi, "Master Xiao."
When they were in the courtyard before, Meng Jixi told them a little bit about Master Xiao.
Now, they are really curious about this Master Xiao.
