934,
"Inoko, do you still remember what happened before you fell into coma?"
"The child has just woken up. Why are you asking him for this?"
"This foreign Taoist priest seems to have some skills... The Taoist priests in Bailong Temple and the monks on Guanyin Rock all eat their bread from the old sister-in-law's house, which makes them useless when doing work.
It was this foreign Taoist priest who recited a few verses and, tsk, woke Zhuzi up! "
"Donor, is it wrong for you to speak like this?
Even if your family believes in the Daqin religion, you can't belittle our Guanyin Rock like this - before the foreign Taoist priest recited the sutra, several of our fellow apprentices had been knocking wooden fish around the little benefactor for a long time... maybe it was exactly The Great Compassion Mantra we recited has taken effect, and the little donor can wake up!
It was the foreign Taoist priest who happened to meet him - by the way, the Taoist brother of Bailong Temple also hung a lot of talismans around it. He realized that something was wrong here and that something might be happening. We, Guanyin Rock and Bailong Temple, must take the credit for this. A Taoist brother who has watched it! "
"..."
Seeing that the person on the bed was gradually waking up, the expressions of the people around him became much more relaxed, and they started talking about it.
The few old men surrounding the bed were just talking in low voices, glancing at Su Wu on the bed from time to time.
But behind a few old people, the monks and Taoist priests got into an argument on the spot because of a few words of the hunchbacked middle-aged man behind the black-robed 'foreign Taoist priest'.
Just as the scene was in chaos, the middle-aged man who had been standing behind the old woman on crutches stepped forward.
He glanced at Su Wu who was lying on the bed, then bowed to the old woman, looking a little uncomfortable and said: "Mother-in-law... Since Zhuzi has woken up, let's take our leave first.
There must be someone to look after the head of the house. It is inseparable from people.
But you said that Zhuzi was seriously ill, so my wife and I came to see him. He's awake now, and it seems he's okay... Let's go home first, and then come see you and Inoko when we have time. "
The old woman looked sideways at the middle-aged man, and then at the woman behind him who looked impatient. She pointed at Su Wu lying on the bed and said in a trembling voice to the middle-aged man: "Zhuzi, Zhuzi, you are child!”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked even more uncomfortable and could only laugh to cover it up.
The old woman stared at him for a few breaths, then withdrew her gaze, shook her head, sighed, and waved her hands: "Let's go, let's go... Since you don't even want to take care of your own baby, you want to leave him to me." Old lady - starting from today, this child belongs to our old Li family and has nothing to do with your old Zhao family!"
After the old woman finished speaking, the few long-braided old men surrounding the bed all looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the old woman, then at the old men who suddenly fell silent and stared at him. His expression became ugly and he said in a low voice: "Old mother-in-law, why did I say you had to invite me over today?" - It seems that Zhuzi's illness is fake. You want to take this opportunity to change Zhuzi's surname and add him to your Li family's family tree. Is that true?
How could you do this?
Inoko is my son, so he should bear my last name——"
"Ha!" The old woman used her crutches, and her entire demeanor suddenly changed, full of majesty. She obviously needed to raise her head to look at the middle-aged man, but now she seemed to be looking down at him, "Do you think so?" Is Zhuzi your son?"
"Of course I recognize it!" the middle-aged man said quickly.
The old woman then asked: "Then you take Zhuzi back to your home - how can you throw your child into his grandma's house and ask him to take care of it if you don't raise him at home?"
“I still have a little baby over there, and now there’s famine everywhere.
There really isn't much food left at home, so I thought of asking you to remember Wenjuan and take care of Zhuzi for a while. Zhuzi is my child and your grandson. There is no one in your family now..." Middle-aged The more the man spoke, the softer his voice became.
The serious looks from the old men around him made it difficult for him to handle it.
"Juan'er is my daughter. The flesh that fell from my body - the child she loves most is here with me. Naturally, I should love this child more than she does. But my daughter died in an ugly way. A vixen came into the house. You killed my Juan'er!" The old woman's eyes were red again. She held her crutch with one hand and beat her chest with the other, crying out in grief.
The middle-aged woman who had been standing behind the crowd suddenly raised her eyebrows when she heard what the old woman said.
She was about to explode on the spot, but seeing that there was no place for her to show off at the moment, she could only suppress her anger and said to the middle-aged man next to the old woman: "Master, can you leave?!
If you don't leave, I will leave first. The child is still at home and someone has to take care of it! "
"Eh, eh..." The middle-aged man looked back at the woman, responded twice, and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
He smiled apologetically to calm his wife's mood, then turned back and glanced at his 'son' on the bed inadvertently, with no emotion in his eyes.
When he looked at the old woman again, the emotion on her face was more vivid than the one she looked at her son just now.
"Old mother-in-law, why are you talking about this at this time?
Wenjuan suffered from a serious disease, and that's why... she's gone. It has nothing to do with other people..." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Zhuzi is better off with you than with me.
He is the child of me and Wenjuan, and I can't help but miss him. Isn’t this foreign Taoist priest invited here by me?
If it hadn't been for this foreign Taoist priest to help me recite sutras, Zhuzi would have been in a coma for who knows how long..."
"Didn't you and your wife go to the Daqin Temple to chant sutras, and were caught by our Black Tiger, so you had no choice but to follow the foreign Taoist priest from the Daqin Temple?
How come the foreign Taoist priest was invited by you after the change of location?" An old man standing next to the old woman heard the voice and sneered and said a few words.
The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment.
"When you first had Zhuzi, you treated Wenjuan and Zhuzi very well.
It's a pity that Wenjuan died later, and you remarried, and gradually lost your fatherly attitude. When you and your second wife had another baby, you completely ignored Zhuzi and threw him to me, an old woman - you were relieved!
Live a good life with your little son and your new wife!
Calculating the time, you haven't visited Zhuzi once in three years - Zhuzi used to occasionally talk about wanting to visit you, but later he simply stopped mentioning you as his father.
If Zhuzi hadn't been possessed by evil spirits this time and fell on the bed, you probably wouldn't have known that Zhuzi has grown into a teenager now, right?" Old The woman wiped her tears while speaking, "Although Zhuzi didn't say anything, as a grandmother, I know everything in my heart.
How do you treat your child?
You hold him in your hands for fear of dropping him, and hold him in your mouth for fear of melting him!
If you treat Zhuzi even half as well as you treat your child, I won't find fault with you today, I won't say a word more about you, and I will have to praise you as a good son-in-law to everyone I meet, and as a father, I have never owed you anything - but think about it yourself, do you treat Zhuzi half as well as you treat your child?
You don't want this child anymore, so why don't you let go?!"
Su Wu lay on the bed, observing his words and expressions, and finally understood what was going on.
The owner of this cause and effect that he replaced - 'Zhuzi' has been living in his grandmother's house since his mother 'Wenjuan' died, and has grown into a teenager now, and then he may have been 'touched by evil', so he fainted.
Grandma went everywhere to invite monks and Taoist priests to "see things" - according to Su Wu's observation, these monks and Taoist priests are useless, none of them have real skills, so their methods naturally have no effect.
Finally, the man from Grandma's family, "Black Tiger", went to invite the foreign Taoist priest from Daqin Temple, and ran into Zhuzi's biological father, the middle-aged man beside the bed, and his second wife on the way.
Judging from the current situation, Grandma must be very dissatisfied with Zhuzi's biological father's behavior in recent years, so she reprimanded him in person, and the few old men from Grandma's family, who must be the head of the old Li family and the elders of the clan, wanted "Zhuzi" to change his surname to "Li", so they stayed here to support Grandma.
When Su Wu's thoughts flashed, the middle-aged woman came to call and pull "Zhuzi's biological father" again.
The old woman refused to let him leave immediately, and insisted that he make a decision now.
After a while of arguing, the ‘father of Zhuzi’ pretended to be dejected and sighed, “Mother-in-law, my family is really not rich now, and we can’t afford to raise this half-grown boy!”
“You can afford to raise your younger son, but not your older son?
My Wenjuan was married to you in a formal way, and was sent to your house in a sedan chair. Zhuzi is not an illegitimate son without status! You are making excuses here, obviously you don’t want this child!
Well!
Since you have made up your mind now, just sign and seal this document, and I will naturally not bother you in the future!” The old woman took out a document with trembling hands, opened it and spread it on the clumsy wooden table next to the bed.
The old man next to her put out a pen and ink next to the document.
The father of Zhuzi looked at the document and then at the old woman.
At this time, his wife urged him again.
He sighed, pretended to be dejected, picked up the brush and signed the document.
After signing, he hurried away with his wife.
Some sunlight shone on his side face when he lifted the curtain of the main room.
It reflected his relaxed and happy expression.
Su Wu sneered in his heart.
"Zhuzi!" The old woman sat by the bed, holding Su Wu's hand with trembling calloused hands, looking at the 'Zhuzi' lying on the bed, her nose was sore and her eyes were red.
She obviously got what she wanted now.
But her eyes were full of grief, and she looked at Su Wu with love in her eyes: "Zhuzi..."
"Grandma."
Su Wu replied to her: "I don't remember anything."
The old woman was stunned when she heard it, and her eyes became even sadder.
She touched Su Wu's face and whispered: "It's better not to remember anything, it's better not to remember anything..."
