Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 230 Grandma Zhou's Choice
"Understood, grandma." Mrs. Xiaojia didn't take it seriously, and readily agreed, as if all her thoughts were on chatting with us.

Chu Yue also just drank tea quietly, and nodded as a greeting to Grandma Zhou, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Instead, I watched Grandma Zhou stand up curiously. She is very short. Maybe she will be shorter when she is old than when she was young?She stood up tremblingly, thinking that she would get dizzy after sitting for a long time, so she stood up and stood for a while before walking away from the low table.She walked to the other side, opened the door curtain, and entered the suite.I almost watched her go in, very curious about what kind of room it was.

"Would you like to visit?" Mrs. Xiaojia obviously noticed my gaze and asked me in a normal way.After all, Chinese people don't pay much attention to the right to privacy. They are guests when they enter the door, and they are willing to show their lives to others.

"No, no need." I was a little embarrassed, and Grandma Zhou seemed mysterious, so I was a little scared.

"Well, let's drink some tea." Madam Xiaojia stopped asking, "Want to hear Grandma Zhou's story?"

"Huh?" I was taken aback, "Is it from the previous life?"

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Xiaojia was amused, laughed, and leaned back and forth, "Of course not, Grandma Zhou didn't ask me to calculate her past life, I'm talking about her and Grandpa Zhou's story. Do you want to listen? Very twists and turns, very romantic."

"Of course I did."

I glanced at Chu Yue, he didn't respond, it didn't matter if he listened or not.I haven't forgotten his proposal just now and our purpose of coming here to find Mrs. Xiaojia.However, if he doesn't take the initiative to ask for anything, I'd better let nature take its course.

"Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou are childhood sweethearts, but Grandma Zhou is a lady from a rich family. She eloped with Grandpa Zhou when she was only 15 years old." Mrs. Xiaojia began to tell it vividly, but it sounded like a romantic love story, "Grandpa Zhou took She has traveled the whole of our country with her. Later, because Grandma Zhou was pregnant with a child, she bought real estate here in order to have a place to stay. It is a pity that the child pregnant by Grandma Zhou had a miscarriage after that. Grandpa Zhou replaced her I searched all over the famous doctors, but I still didn't get pregnant with the second one. Then, Grandpa Zhou suddenly went out to do business and no longer brought Grandma Zhou with him. He went out alone and didn't come back for half a year. Grandma Zhou stayed alone in the empty room for a long time. Very lonely. So she thought of a way to make Grandpa Zhou stay by her side forever."

"What method?" I suddenly had an ominous premonition, "Witchcraft?"

Madam Xiaojia nodded quietly.

"From then on, Grandma Zhou was not as enthusiastic about receiving many passers-by as she is now. Her little daughter-in-law who stayed at home alone, in order to avoid suspicion, would not leave the door, and the two doors would not go out. The money and food left by Grandpa Zhou are usually enough for her. One year's food rations, but don't worry about food and clothing, people's emotions are still lonely. Then one day, Grandma Zhou felt that my grandpa Zhou was going home soon, so she was bored at the gate and looked for the village entrance, looking forward to it."

"It's a pity that it's not Grandpa Zhou, but a charlatan." Mrs. Jia was a little annoyed when she said this, but quickly calmed down. After all, it happened many years ago, and she was not even born at that time. , and has nothing to do with her, "The liar said that he could help people make reconciliations, and keep people who have not returned for many years at home forever. Grandma Zhou was overjoyed, and asked her to come in and talk about it in detail."

"Originally, Grandma Zhou can afford money and good things. But that person doesn't want it"

"What does he want?" My heart suddenly thumped, anticipating that the next sentence was about to hear an unacceptable sentence, and I had to accept it.

Mrs. Xiaojia's gaze became mysterious, "It's a child."

"Huh?" I was puzzled, and pointed in the direction of the suite, "Didn't Grandma Zhou never get pregnant?"

"Yes, but the magician said that he can calculate that Grandma Zhou will have three children in the future, two boys and one girl." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "He explained in great detail that almost all of them will be born on a certain day, whether they look like her or look like her." Grandpa Zhou, what are you good at, what will you do when you grow up, what kind of daughter-in-law to marry, and what kind of family you will marry, all are detailed."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"That's good, but unfortunately, if Grandpa Zhou doesn't come home, where will there be?" Mrs. Xiao Jia spread her hands, as if this was a dead end, "The warlock asked Grandma Zhou that she wanted these three children, but a lifetime is one year. Seeing Grandpa Zhou alone, he still abandons these three children and asks him to change his fate against the sky, and he will have no children and no daughters under his knees for the rest of his life, but Grandpa Zhou will accompany her for 30 years."

"This..." I held back and looked up at Chu Yue, "Such a difficult question to choose..."

"Grandma Zhou chose very simply. She wants Grandpa Zhou." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "Maybe the magician has some skills, but I really don't know what method to use. After a month, Grandpa Zhou really came back. After returning Tell Grandma Zhou that on a certain day, he suddenly decided to come back, and within half a month, he terminated all the business, sold all the shops, and exchanged all of them for money and some antiques to bring back. Living with Grandma Zhou, I also hope to have a few children sooner. Grandma Zhou asked him on which day the decision was made. Grandpa Zhou said that date, but it was actually the day when the warlock practiced things. Grandma Zhou was a little scared. Originally, it was a good thing for Grandpa Zhou to come back, but after that, there is nothing else except the two of you, and half of Grandpa Zhou's wishes will never be fulfilled."

This sounds really embarrassing, and I couldn't accept it for a while, "What happened after that?"

"Grandma Zhou didn't dare to tell Grandpa Zhou about this in the end. Until Grandpa Zhou passed away, Grandpa Zhou took her hand and passed away. Before that, she kept asking her if she was sorry for her. Grandma Zhou felt guilty, so naturally she didn't dare to say it. In that year, Grandma Zhou was over 60 years old, and Grandpa Zhou had been with her for more than 40 years, even much longer than the warlock said, which was a consolation." Mrs. Xiaojia said with emotion After saying the last sentence, he suddenly looked at us seriously, "Do you know how I became acquainted with Grandma Zhou?"

"What?" I couldn't help but be curious.

"That day, I walked a long way alone, but I still didn't reach my destination, so I stopped here and knocked on the door just to stay overnight." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "That was five years ago. Naturally, I also wanted to take a clay doll and recommend it to Grandma Zhou. She heard that I could do magic tricks, and she was eager to meet and say a few words to the people in the underworld. I think I just want to see Grandpa Zhou? It’s just that I really don’t have that ability Grandma Zhou should have never met anyone who can use spiritual power since that spell. She was very annoyed. I naturally stayed and chatted with her. A few days later, when I was about to leave, Grandma Zhou said to me I don’t want to give up, but I don’t leave me. I may be too lonely, so I come back to see Grandma Zhou every few months. Naturally, Grandma Zhou has become more cheerful and less self-blame since she met me. I no longer shut everyone out every day. I sometimes ask her to tidy up the things and rooms and open an inn. She insists on not doing it, but she still receives passing guests, no matter how long she stays, she will not be charged a penny. .”

"So that's the case." I nodded, "Grandma Zhou is really a good person, Chu Yue"

I looked back at Chu Yue, "Can you help Grandma Zhou?"
