Chapter 37 The Jiang Family's Promise
Zhou Yang looked at Jiang Tianming at a loss, but unexpectedly, such a farce appeared after careful preparation.
The old man was very upright and did not accept this gift because of Zhou Yang's youth and his relationship with Jiang Tianming. In his opinion, Zhou Yang might not have realized the value of this magic weapon at all, but he could not act against his conscience because of this, so he directly refused and pointed out the value in it.
Jiang Tianming is more distressed than anyone else now. He can fully understand what his grandfather meant. Zhou Yang has just confirmed one of the effects of this magic weapon. If all the effects are just as Zhou Yang said, then who doesn’t want it? This is simply tailor-made for his grandfather. After all, the old man is already a hundred years old, and no one knows how long he will be able to enjoy in the future. With this magic weapon, it is equivalent to giving the old man a guarantee of prolonging his life and buying a powerful insurance for the Jiang family.
If you put it outside, even if you lose everything and you don’t know how many people are rushing to ask for it, no matter how important money and connections are, it’s no wonder that the old man can’t afford it.
But since the old man had already spoken, it was no longer Jiang Tianming who could make decisions at will. He was extremely moved by his brother's feelings.
"Xiaoyang, our Jiang family has appreciated this love. Grandpa is right. Your gift is too expensive and we can't afford it." Jiang Tianming could only shake his head helplessly, and endure the pain and rejected Zhou Yang's heavy gift for his grandfather.
Suddenly, Jiang Tianming said again, "Also, we will keep this magic weapon absolutely confidential. Everyone present is from our Jiang family. I promise you that you will not reveal a single trace of it!" After saying that, he looked at all the peers present with a blank look, and the meaning is not difficult to understand.
The old man smiled with relief and agreed with Jiang Tianming's approach, "Little Zhou doll, don't worry, old man, I'll keep it a secret for you." Even the old man promised that the younger generations dared not have any other ideas.
Zhou Yang looked at the old man thoughtfully and then Jiang Tianming, as if he understood the key. He was confident that no one could resist such a magic weapon. If he had no chance to practice, he could not resist it. At least, from the passionate eyes of several children and grandchildren standing behind the old man, he saw the desire to possess.
Zhou Yang has always believed that it is not a reward for his mutual efforts, whether it is family, love, or friendship. However, Jiang Tianming's words just now made him feel that he had ignored the essence of human feelings. Before, he always thought in his heart that one day he would leave here and leave this world. The so-called human relationships seemed to be dispensable in his opinion. He was calm about what others gave him, and he did not ask for rewards for what he gave others.
But it is precisely because of this idea that Zhou Yang always does stupid things with different efforts and rewards.
He didn't care and was used to it, but the Jiang family didn't think so, because once he accepted this gift, it meant that he owed Zhou Yang this kind of affection. What should he pay it back? How to pay it back? The old man couldn't use the interests of the entire family for his own selfish interests.
Jiang Tianming understood this truth, and all the Jiang family members also understood that only Zhou Yang has vaguely understood the key.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If you say you don't want such a good thing, only the old man has this courage. Even if he didn't accept the heavy gift, Zhou Yang's actions left a very good impression on the Jiang family, and even made a big splash for Jiang Tianming.
However, if you are not convinced, everyone asks themselves, if you have such a treasure, would you be willing to take the initiative to show your birthday to the old man? Not necessarily!
It is not difficult to see the appreciation of Zhou Yang from the old man's eyes. When everyone thought Zhou Yang would put away the gift and leave politely, Zhou Yang insisted on holding the jade piece and slowly walking towards the old man.
"Grandpa Jiang, you are Brother Jiang's relative, that is, mine." If Zhou Yang said this at the beginning, it would inevitably be suspected of climbing up and looking down on him, but now everyone does not think so.
Zhou Yang said softly as he walked, "I am an orphan. I enjoyed a few years of family affection when I was a child. After my foster parents passed away, all I experienced was loneliness and indifference. Everyone looked down on me, excluded me, and bullied me." As he said that, Zhou Yang's mouth seemed to smile, but his expression made people feel distressed.
Everyone held their breath and waited for his next sentence.
"Later, when I met Brother Jiang, he always took good care of me, which made me feel the warmth of the world. I don't understand and care about many things. Brother Jiang would remind me that although he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of these trivial things, it made me understand a lot of the principles of walking in the world. I recognize him as the eldest brother and brother, what is a brother? Apart from money and everything, only brotherhood is left." At this time, Zhou Yang had already walked to the old man and was putting the jade on his own.
After all, the old man is old and has a hunchbacked body, and is a little shorter than Zhou Yang. No one stops Zhou Yang's movements, and he is carefully savoring Zhou Yang's words.
"Now I have my own experience and with this ability, you think this is a treasure, but in my eyes, this is just a gratitude to my brother and elder brother." After saying this, Zhou Yang has also helped the old man wear jade pieces.
After putting on the jade piece, the old man instantly felt a warmth from the sunshine. Even the pain of the gunshot wound that occurred on the cloudy day was fading away. The old man's turbid gaze kept flashing in his turbid gaze. With the conditions of his Jiang family, there were no maintenance supplements, but no matter how good the recuperation was, it was not as comfortable as the moment. It seemed that even though he was overestimating it again and again, he still underestimated this magic weapon.
Everyone was still immersed in what Zhou Yang said, and no one expected that Zhou Yang's last sentence was equivalent to giving up the return of the Jiang family. He was repaying his kindness, but this kindness was too much of a care.
Those who had looked down on Zhou Yang before suddenly felt ashamed. No one could do this calmness without asking for anything in return. Even Jiang Lixing, who had always been dissatisfied with Jiang Tianming, was calling out in his heart that it was not unfair to lose.
Before he knew it, Jiang Tianming felt his eyes a little wet. He had never thought about the small things he did for Zhou Yang. Yes, in his opinion, those things were indeed small things, but they gave him a brother who valued love so much. Although Zhou Yang didn't say much, this time he brought such great favors to the family.
No one can be sure of what impact the old man will have on the Jiang family if he lives longer.
It was not until many years later that Zhou Yang realized that because of this magic weapon, his brothers would directly hold the position of chief in the Jiang family!
Compared to the lively outdoor courtyard, the inner courtyard seemed very quiet at this moment. While feeling the magic of the jade pieces, the old man looked at Zhou Yang with emotion. The other party's words made him think of many old brothers. They were like Zhou Yang back then, with no interests or conflicts, and only the friendship between brothers. No one knows whether they can survive the next war.
Alas, in the blink of an eye, for decades, how long has it been since I could go to their grave to put in incense sticks? The old man looked at Zhou Yang with more and more intimate eyes. The older generation of soldiers valued feelings the most and admired the most. "Little Zhou doll, Tianming is relieved to have brothers like you. I can't afford to return your heavy gifts to the Jiang family, but you remember one thing, from now on, the Jiang family will be your home!"
The old man made the final decision and spoke this sentence very clearly. Zhou Yang did not ask for any reward, but he could not refuse to give it. No matter from which angle, Zhou Yang was worthy of his gift! He knew very well the importance of his old bones to the Jiang family. As long as he was still alive for one day, the Jiang family's status would not be shaken. As long as he was in one day, the Jiang family would have more time to develop!
Moreover, from Zhou Yang's words, we can see that the other party is a strict and upright person who is grateful and seeks gratitude. To put it bluntly, with such a treasure, the other party can get greater benefits, but it is only used to repay the kindness of his brothers. If such a person is not at ease, then who else is worthy of this?
The audience was shocked that the old man actually made such a promise, but no matter who it was or what he thought, he did not dare to question and refute it in public.
Even Jiang Tianming seemed to be unable to believe his ears. It was the first time he had heard that his grandfather had made such a promise to others!
Some people who were moved by Zhou Yang's words before, but now they feel sad inside.
Everyone thought that Zhou Yang had been beside the big tree of the Jiang family, but they didn’t know that after a few years, the Jiang family got more!
