"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?"
"It seems that this foreign Taoist priest has some abilities... The Taoist priests in Bailong Temple and the monks on Guanyin Rock all eat a lot of food from the old sister-in-law's house, which makes them useless when doing things.
It was this foreign Taoist priest who recited a few verses and, tsk, woke up the pig!"
"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 chanted 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 in this place and that something might be happening. We, Guanyin Rock and Bailong Temple, must take the credit for this. It’s a Taoist brother’s share!”
"..."
Seeing that the person on the bed was gradually waking up, the expressions of the people around him became much more relaxed, and there was a lot of discussion.
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 the old men, the monks and Taoist priests got into an argument on the spot because of a few words of the hunchbacked middle-aged man in the black robe who was following the "foreign Taoist priest".
Just when the scene was in chaos, the middle-aged man who had been standing behind the old woman on crutches came 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 take care of the house. It is inseparable from people.
But you said that Inoko was seriously ill, so my wife and I came to see him. He is awake now, and it seems that he is not in serious trouble... Let's go home first, and then come to see you and Inoko when we are free."
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 is you." 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 Lao Li family and has nothing to do with your Lao Zhao family anymore!"
After the old woman finished speaking, the old men with long braids 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 Inozi's illness is fake. You want to take this opportunity to change Inozi'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 surname——"
"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 the pig 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 I'd ask you to remember Wenjuan and take care of Zhuzi for a while. Zhuzi is my child and your grandson. There's no one in your family now..." The middle-aged man said more and more Say it louder.
The serious looks from the old men around him made it difficult for him to handle
"Juan'er is my daughter. The flesh that fell from my body - the child she loved most came to me. Naturally, I should love this child more than she does. But my daughter died in an ugly way. A vixen entered the house. You killed my Juan'er!" The old woman's eyes were red again. She held the 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 his face was more vivid than the one he looked at his son just now.
"Old mother-in-law, why are you talking about this at this time?
Wenjuan suffered from a serious illness and... died. It had 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, so I can't help but miss him. Wasn'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 Daqin Temple to recite sutras and were bumped into by our black tigers, so you had no choice but to follow the foreign Taoist priests from Daqin Temple?
Why did we change the place and become a foreign Taoist priest who was invited here?" An old man standing next to the old woman heard the sound and said a few words with a sneer.
The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment.
"When we first got Zhuzi, you were very good to Wenjuan and Zhuzi.
It's a pity that Wenjuan died later. You got married and gradually lost your father-like appearance. When you and your married woman had another baby, Zhuzi, you just didn't care about it at all. You just threw him away to me, an old woman. ——You are relieved!
With your little son, your new lady is living a good life!
Counting the time, you haven't visited Inoko once in three years - Inoko used to occasionally talk about wanting to visit you, but later he simply stopped mentioning you as his father.
If Zhuzi hadn't been hit by evil spirits and fell on the bed this time, you might not even know that Zhuzi has grown into half a man now, right?" The old woman said, wiping her tears, "Although Zhuzi didn't say it, But as a grandma, my heart is like a mirror.
How do you treat that baby of yours?
I hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting!
If you treat Zhuzi even half as well as I treat that baby of yours, I will not find fault with you today, I won’t say a single word to you, and I will praise you as a good son-in-law to everyone I meet. A father doesn’t treat his son at all.
I owe it - but think about it for yourself, can you treat a pig half as well as you treat a child of yours?
You don’t even want this child anymore, why aren’t you letting go?!”
Su Wu lay on the bed, observing the words and expressions, and finally understood what was probably happening at the moment.
The owner of this period of causality - 'Zhuzi' - has been living in his grandmother's house since the death of his mother 'Wenjuan', and grew up to be the young man he is today. Then he may have been 'hit by an evil spirit' and fell into a coma.
Grandma went around asking monks and Taoists to "look at things" - according to Su Wu's observation, these monks and Taoists were all useless, and none of them had real talent or knowledge. As a result, their methods were naturally not half effective.
Finally, the person from Grandma's family, "Black Tiger", went to invite the foreign Taoist priest from Daqin Temple, and on the way he met Zhuzi's biological father, the middle-aged man beside the bed, and his successor.
Looking at the current situation, grandma must be extremely dissatisfied with Zhuzi's biological father's behavior in recent years, so she reprimanded him face to face, and the several elders in grandma's family must be the heads and elders of the old Li family, and they are interested in this.
'Zhuzi' changed his surname to 'Li' and stayed here to build up his grandma's reputation.
When Su Wu's thoughts flashed, the middle-aged woman called again, asking "the father of a pig son".
The old woman refused to let him leave immediately, and insisted that he make a decision now.
After such a tug-of-war, the 'pig son's biological father' pretended to have a look of dejection on his face and sighed: "Old mother-in-law, my family is really not rich now and we can't afford to support such a young man!"
“You can afford to raise your younger son, but you can’t afford to raise your older son?
My Wenjuan was also married by a matchmaker, and she was brought into your home in a sedan chair. Zhuzi is not a concubine with no status! You are pushing back and forth here, obviously you don’t want this child!
Whatever!
Now that you have made up your mind, just sign this document, and the old woman will naturally not bother you in the future!" The old woman took out a document with trembling hands, opened it, and spread it flat on the bedside.
On wooden table.
The old man next to him promptly placed pen and ink next to the document.
Zhuzi's biological father looked at the document and then at the old woman.
At this time, his wife came to urge him again.
He sighed, made a slumped look, picked up the brush and signed the document.
After signing and stamping his signature, he took his wife and left in a hurry.
Some sunlight fell on the side of his face when he opened the curtain of the hall door.
It reflected the relaxed and joyful look on his face.
Su Wu sneered a few times in his heart.
"Zhuzi!" The old woman sat beside the bed, holding Su Wu's palm with trembling calloused hands. She looked at the 'Zhuzi' lying on the bed, her nose was sore and her eyes were red.
It's obvious that she got what she wanted now.
However, 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 this, and her eyes became even sadder.
She touched Su Wu's face and whispered: "It would be better not to remember anything, it would be better not to remember anything..."
