Chapter 26 Marriage Letter
The villagers are all around here, and they seem to want to get some benefits. I saw that there was nothing to see, so I went back to the village from the back mountain.

On the way back, deep doubts arose in my heart.

Although the Liu family is here to build a snake temple, it sounds reasonable and what they say is well-founded, but I always feel that something is not quite right.

Why is it at this time?
When the village was catching snakes, it was never heard that it was necessary to build a snake temple to worship snake gods. It just so happened that snake disasters occurred in the village now.

Moreover, did Liu Manizi really suffer the retribution of the Snake Fairy?
I expressed my doubts to my aunt, but she thought about it very openly, saying that the old lady of the Liu family is a kind-hearted person, and she is also a vegetarian, a great kind person who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism.

Building temples for the villagers may not only resolve the sins of the villagers, but also accumulate merit for themselves.

I shook my head. Although I didn't refute, I always felt that things were not that simple.

As we were talking, a few people came in from the courtyard, and my eyes narrowed sharply. It was the one-eyed woman with a hunched back and a gray-black gown.

Dressed incompatible with the modern society, after stepping into the courtyard on crutches, his eyes swept around sullenly and fell on me.

"My old lady wants to see you!" The one-eyed woman smiled slightly, her voice hoarse.

"Old lady Liu?" I frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with her seeing me?"

The one-eyed woman said indifferently: "You don't need to know about this, you just follow me, and you will know naturally."

I glanced at my aunt, and she also had a blank expression on her face.

"The old lady doesn't like to wait for others." Seeing that I was indifferent, the one-eyed woman took a step back, and a few men in black behind her stepped forward.

"What are you doing?" My aunt sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and wanted to step forward to block me.

I pulled my aunt's arm, shook my head slightly to keep her from getting excited, and turned to look at the one-eyed woman. After pondering for a moment, I said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."

My aunt's face was full of worry, but I told her not to worry, I would be fine, so I followed the one-eyed woman out of the house.

Although I knew from the beginning that the Liu family had some background, I was still a little shocked when I saw it.

The two connected villas are magnificently decorated.

But what caught my attention was that in front of the Liu Family Courtyard, there were not stone lions on the left and right, but two snake statues.

After stepping through the courtyard gate, I saw Mrs. Liu sitting at the sandalwood table.

"sit down!"

Mrs. Liu was drinking tea, and she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids.

I was not too polite, so I sat on the stool. Although I met Mrs. Liu once in the temple, it was a little far away at that time.

Although this old lady Liu has a kind face, she has wrinkles like snake scales on her face. She is more than seventy years old, and her grizzled hair is about five inches long, like a snake head hairpin.

I didn't say a word, Mrs. Liu took two sips of tea, and then slowly closed the lid.

"In a blink of an eye, Bai Jianshan has passed away for more than ten years. I think you were a little girl when I went to your house with the old man, and you have become a big girl in a blink of an eye."

Hearing this, I was even more surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Grandma Liu, you...do you know my grandpa?"

Granny Liu nodded with a smile, and said: "When the army was in chaos, your grandfather saved my old man's life. When my old man broke his leg, it was your grandfather who carried the mountain road for more than ten miles to the health center. He was dead long ago, when your grandfather went back, his feet were covered in blood from the thorns."

"Although the Liu family has come and gone and gained power over the years, we will never forget the kindness your Bai family has shown to our Liu family."

After hearing this, I was not only moved with emotion, but I never thought that my grandfather would have such a relationship with the Liu family.

Granny Liu probably saw my restraint, and continued, "Our old Liu family was thanks to Bai Jianshan for taking care of us."

Seeing Granny Liu's look of remembrance, I didn't know what to say, so I asked, "It's been so many years, I don't know how old Grandpa Shen is."

Granny Liu's complexion changed slightly, and her smile also restrained a little, but she didn't say much, but said in a bad tone, "The old man suffered from bruises two years ago, and he is no longer alive.

I was stunned after hearing this, and I could only laugh a couple of times.

"Before the old man died, he still had one wish." Granny Liu put her gaze on me, and said with a bright smile: "This time I went to Baishui Village to build a snake temple. In addition to accumulating merit for myself, the other is to complete It's the old man's wish."

I asked suspiciously, "Grandma Liu, why can't I understand what you said?"

Granny Liu didn't say much, she beckoned, and a servant in black came out from the side, and respectfully took a box and put it on the table.

After the servant retreated, Granny Liu took out a piece of parchment from the box.

"Do you know what this is?" Granny Liu stared at me and smiled.

I think Granny Liu's smile makes people uncomfortable, but she still shakes her head in confusion.

Granny Liu said with something in her words, "This is the marriage letter between your Bai family and the Liu family. This marriage was written by your grandfather and my old man back then. It was settled before you were born."

"Before the old man died, he couldn't let go of this one thing, and asked me to do it for him no matter what."

After hearing Granny Liu's words, I felt very uncomfortable, so I looked carefully at the contract she put on the table.

In the place where the signature was signed, I saw the names of Liu Qingyin and Bai Yao.

This marriage certificate is well preserved, but the naked eye can see that it is very old, so it cannot be forged, and with the wealth of the Liu family, there is no need to forge it.

So, this marriage was really decided by grandpa in the first place?

The Liu Qingyin written in the marriage letter should be the grandson of Master Shen.

Although the Liu family has a great career, I can't afford to have any affection for a person I've never met.

Besides, now that Chu Yuan and I have done that kind of thing, it is even more impossible to step on the threshold of the Liu family.

In addition, although this kind of child marriage stipulated in the marriage contract may be normal in grandpa's time, it is completely a bad habit now.

Of course I won't abide by it. After thinking about it, I said straightforwardly: "Grandma Liu, this is already a thing of the past. The times are different now. Besides, the Liu family needs wind and rain now." Yu. There are definitely not a few women who want to step through the threshold of the Liu family, and there are countless marriage contracts!"

As soon as the words were finished, Granny Liu's face turned cold. She didn't speak, and tapped her hand on the table lightly, making a thud-thump-thump sound, once and for all, as if hitting my heart.

"It's rare that grandma likes you, and you're still hypocritical? My brother wants someone, money, and money, so he's not good enough for you? Letting you step into the threshold of our Liu family means thinking highly of you, and crows fly to the branches Becoming a phoenix is ​​such a good thing, no matter how many people can ask for it, they can't get it."

A mean female voice came from outside the door, I turned my head to look, and my eyes narrowed suddenly.
