Yuan Xiaochi shook his head, "I don't know. I hid when I saw her. Don't you want to see people from your hometown again?"
Yuan Xiaolai remained silent.
"Sister, do you really not miss grandma at all?" Yuan Xiaochi asked in a low voice.
"...What is that old-fashioned and mean person thinking? I just want my grandma. If my grandma hadn't secretly let me go, I might have been killed by her."
Yuan Xiaolai sneered: "You are so rigid and unreasonable, no wonder you lost to Teng Qihong's grandma."
Yuan Xiaochi could tell that although her sister's tone was mostly resentful, there was also some worry in it.
My sister actually still misses her family members.
"Sister, I heard that our Zhaili family has been severely suppressed by the Tengqi family in recent years, especially grandma..."
Yuan Xiaochi was halfway through speaking, and when he saw her frowning, he hurriedly shut up and stopped mentioning the matter.
"Xiaochi, you are different from me. You can go back at any time, but I can't."
The woman looked at the insects and snakes in the pet shop, her eyes darkened, "I am considered unclean by my grandma, and a shame to the Zhaili family. I have been nailed to the pillar of shame by that old antique."
"But sister, you didn't do it at all...why don't you tell grandma clearly, maybe she will forgive you."
"What I did was challenging her authority. She might let me go, but she would never forgive me."
But Yuan Xiaolai has no regrets. She has had enough of staying in that backward and feudal place, and she doesn't want to follow her grandma's old path again.
If grandma's idea was right, the man she loved back then would not rather be tortured to death by poison than bow to her.
Oh, that man is her biological grandfather.
The Miao people are relatively isolated. Most of the time they just stay in the village and do not interact with the outside world. Her grandfather was an outsider who accidentally entered the village and fell in love with her grandmother.
Because my grandma loved the man deeply, she begged the clan to take him in and let him marry her. However, when the man fell in love with her, he didn’t know the rules of the village. The tolerance that grandma had finally obtained was like a prison to him.
He proposed to elope with his grandma to see the outside world, but her grandma was furious and felt that he didn't love her at all.
The man insisted on leaving, and the grandma insisted on staying. The result can be imagined.
In order to save this man, grandma cast a... love spell on him.
The legendary love Gu does exist, but it is not as simple as what is written in the book. It is very difficult to refine this kind of Gu.
Those with good qualifications will spend nearly ten years of effort to train one, while those with poor qualifications will probably never be able to train one in their lifetime.
Grandma used this precious love poison on that man.
Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. The man originally loved her, but her behavior completely chilled him. He would rather let the love poison break out than find her to relieve the poison.
In the end, the man was poisoned by love poison and died of pain.
This incident has always been a pain in Grandma's heart. After that, her temper became more and more weird and she became more and more closed-minded. People in the village were strictly prohibited from interacting with the outside world.
Grandma's experience made Yuan Xiaolai feel pitiful and hateful.
If she had let go of her restraints and left with that man, the situation would have been completely different.
Even if the man doesn't want to stay, why should she force him?
Wouldn't it be nice to let each other go?
Who says that if you love someone, you have to give up everything for them?
Yuan Xiaolai didn't think Grandpa's choice was wrong. He was an outsider and had seen the bigger world. How could he be willing to be trapped in such a small village for the rest of his life?
What's more, he still has family outside and his own career.
You can give up your career, but what about your family?
Yuan Xiaolai understood in his heart, so he never complained about his grandfather.
However, although she did not agree with her grandmother's closed-minded and conservative approach, she also did not agree with the Tengqi family's approach.
There is no need for a woman to hang herself from a tree, which does not mean she can be lustful and dissolute.
After Teng Qijing came to power in the Teng family, she completely released her desires and advocated that women should be respected. A woman who hangs out with multiple men at the same time will not feel ashamed but feel proud.
Yuan Xiaolai really disagrees with this behavior of treating herself as a queen.
"Sister, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. But don't drive me away. Anyway, I'm an orphan. It doesn't matter where I go. I'll be where you are!"
When Yuan Xiaochi looked at Yuan Xiaolai, there was a deep feeling of dependence and admiration in his eyes.
She is dull, has no talent for refining gu, and has a stupid mouth. She has been bullied since she was a child. If she hadn't been protected by her sister, she doesn't know what would have happened.
Moreover, she has adapted to her current life. People outside are not as particular as people in her hometown, so she is quite comfortable.
"If I don't drive you away, how can I be willing to drive you away?"
Yuan Xiaolai stopped thinking about those troublesome things and smiled at her, "Xiaochi, I'm going to the back room to practice Gu. Please don't disturb me for two hours."
"Okay, sister, let's go."
"Call me sister, don't use the local name." Yuan Xiaolai corrected.
"Okay, sister."
The woman took out an expensive fat insect from the incubator and went directly into the back room.
Yuan Xiaochi stared at her walking away with admiration.xdw8
My sister is so powerful, she can refine any kind of Gu.
…
In order not to be disturbed, Su Keke kept her mobile phone in silent mode during her studies and placed it out of reach.
Qin Mochen saw the little girl's phone light up, showing several siege messages.
"Girl, there is a text message, can I check it for you?"
Su Keke was immersed in doing the questions. Hearing this, he gave a vague hum.
Fourth Master Qin opened his cell phone and immediately raised his eyebrows when he saw that the sender was Qin Junchi.
Qin Junchi: My fourth aunt, I urgently need a courage charm!
Qin Junchi: My little fourth aunt, please come to Jianghu for first aid!
Fourth Master Qin glanced at the little girl who was studying the questions carefully, and replied helpfully: There is no courage charm.
Qin Junchi: Are there any talismans that can cause hallucinations? For example, bugs can be seen as rabbits and snakes can be seen as puppies?
Fourth Master Qin typed in a leisurely manner: No.
There is no such talisman, but there is such a spell. However, it is useless to tell Qin Junchi.
Qin Junchi: Cry loudly.gif. Little Fourth Aunt, is there any way to make people become less disgusted with disgusting things?
Fourth Master Qin replied: Hold the disgusting thing you hate and hypnotize yourself a hundred times a day.
Qin Junchi: Don’t you love your new eldest nephew anymore? What kind of solution is this?
Fourth Master Qin: I only responded to your question seriously because you called your fourth aunt. Qin Junchi, your fourth aunt is about to take the college entrance examination. Don’t disturb her if you have nothing to do.
Qin Junchi:......
Qin Junchi: Damn it!! Fourth uncle??
Fourth Master Qin: Yeah.
This time there was a long pause, and then another message was sent over there, with a sudden change in style: Good evening, handsome and charming fourth uncle.
