Chapter 290 Adults Want One
The barrage was also confused, they thought there were other reasons, but they didn’t expect that there was a problem at the source of this incident!
Ji Chu said slowly: "The eyes of the paper mannequin were not painted by you with blood, but by your aunt with cinnabar."
"The paper figurine you ordered was not a complete one, and it could not attract ghosts to possess it. Moreover, after she found out about this, she snatched the paper figurine and burned it in the name of saving you."
Xun Mao didn't understand: "Why did my aunt do this?"
"If my parents sent me away because they were afraid that I would be haunted by ghosts, but the ghost possessing the paper man never existed in the first place, that is to say, my aunt did not explain it to them."
"I am her nephew, and I was only one year old at the time. Why did she hate me so much?"
Ji Chu raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling and sighed: "Rather than saying that your aunt hates you, it's better to say that she hates the environment at that time and even now."
"Your grandfather had two children, a son and a daughter."
"Ever since your aunt was little, your grandfather has always preferred his son to be the backbone of the family. Although he never treated your aunt badly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses, he also tacitly left all the family property, including the funeral shop, to your father to inherit."
"Your aunt is a little unhappy about this matter. She believes that as children of the same parents, the family property should be divided in half, including the funeral shop."
"In order to prove herself, she kept all the rules in mind, and the things she made were very good, which won the satisfaction of customers."
"But even though she tried so hard, in the end all she got was a sigh from her father saying 'I wish you were her son.'"
"And fate always plays tricks on people."
“Some people spend their entire lives pursuing something, but the person who has it within reach actually never wanted it in the first place.”
"Mr. Xun's father actually disliked funeral shops. Rather than inheriting a funeral shop, he hoped to find a stable job and live an ordinary life in the city. He liked to read horror novels when he was a child, but there was a book about paper-making that left a deep psychological trauma on him."
"Plus, Mr. Xun's father is a clumsy hand, so nothing he makes is good looking."
"Even if it was the simplest way to punch yellow paper, which was to carve the shape of a copper coin on the paper, I would punch through the paper because I couldn't control the strength of my hands."
"Every time he goes to help, it makes Mr. Xun's grandfather mad!"
[Hey, what's the point? A daughter with talent and a son without talent. Do I have to abide by those rules and force the son who has no interest in this thing to inherit the family store? ]
[It's all about the right to pass on a surname. The daughter's family assumes that once she marries, she belongs to another family, and the in-laws assume that once she marries, she belongs to their own family. The funeral shop is given to the daughter, and after the daughter gives birth to a child, the shop is inherited by someone with a different surname. If you are an old craftsman with more conservative ideas, what do you think?]
[That’s right, the current discussion about dowry and so on is actually a fight over the child’s surname.]
[So a surname represents inheritance? ]
[It’s still a social problem. The conflict between old ideas and the strengthening of modern productivity is inevitable. Alas.]
Ji Chu: "Mr. Xun's aunt was actually right to pursue fairness at the beginning, but under such long-term pressure, her heart has long been twisted."
"So she went about pursuing fairness in the wrong way."
"In order to get the shop, or to get her own father's attention, she told her family that Mr. Xun's poor health was because his family had been doing funeral ceremonies, which damaged their virtues, causing Mr. Xun's yang energy to be weak and causing him to fall ill frequently."
"People who attend funerals are all superstitious. Even Mr. Xun's father, who has always wanted to work in another place, believed her words."
"Then I heard her say that there was an old Taoist priest far away, and that we must go there with sincerity and ask for a talisman, which would balance the yin and yang energy in Mr. Xun's body."
"And we chose the busiest time of July just to make her plan go more smoothly."
"Then, just as she expected, two people left the family at once. Mr. Xun's grandparents wished they had eight hands. Whenever they had free time, they had to work in the store."
"Because of this, she had the opportunity to frame Mr. Xun, who was only one year old at the time, and used the theory that being haunted by ghosts would kill people to force Mr. Xun's father to send him away."
"As for who Mr. Xun's adoptive parents are, she doesn't care. Anyway, Mr. Xun's father will find a good place for you."
"This is also the last bit of reluctance she left for you as your aunt."
Xun Mao was stunned when he heard this. He had only seen this kind of thing in palace fighting dramas and house fighting dramas, but he didn't expect it to happen to him.
If he had not eaten hotpot by chance once, he would never have doubted that he was not his parents' biological son.
Ji Chu: "After that, Mr. Xun's mother cried all day long because she was afraid that the ghosts would follow them to find Mr. Xun. They never dared to come to see you."
"Later, Mr. Xun's father had a quarrel with his grandfather, and he expressed his thoughts to him. He then took his wife to the city and rarely returned."
"Mr. Xun's aunt also successfully inherited the funeral shop. Because of her excellent craftsmanship, the reputation of the entire shop has spread to other cities. Whenever there is a need to worship ancestors, there will be people who come to visit."
[Everyone has walked the path they should walk, but the price is Mr. Xun. Fortunately, his adoptive parents are good people. ]
Xun Mao was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Anchor, can I ask my parents...my dear parents, do they have children now?"
[What? You don't recognize your children now that you have them? ]
[Yes, they were deceived by your aunt when they sent you away. They had no choice but to do so in order for you to survive.]
[The person above, you can't blame Mr. Xun, right? I'm telling you now, your parents are someone else, they had no choice but to send you away, and asked you to recognize them, do you recognize them? ]
There was silence for a while.
【Look, I won’t say anything when it happens to me. 】
Ji Chu: "I know it's hard for you to accept it now, but your parents haven't had any more children in these years. They miss you every day."
[This is the most difficult to deal with. If he had been thrown away, Mr. Xun wouldn't have to bear such great psychological pressure. ]
[Well, what's the problem? Why do I have to give it up? I can just accept both parents. I can live in this home half of the year and in the other home half of the year. As an adult, I want both! ]
Xun Mao looked at Ji Chu, who shrugged, indicating that he could not help and it was all up to him.
