Chapter 25 Conditions
Sijiu said coldly: "Since grandma isn't feeling sick, then Aunt, let's go back tomorrow!"

It was only at this time that Zhuhua felt the power of genes. After all, it was the old man of the Ji family who said in person that the most dazzling child of the Ji family in the past hundred years already had the demeanor of the head of the family at a young age, and he was an attitude that no one could refuse.

Zhuhua winked at her mother, and hurriedly walked in front of Sijiu, squatted down and coaxed: "In a few days, there will be a grand event in the valley, and all young and promising people will undergo the test of coming-of-age ceremony. Do you want to see Jiu?"

Sijiu asked, "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Zhuhua was choked and didn't know how to answer.

Her grandma snorted coldly: "Is this the child you said can learn our clan's craft? I think you think highly of her too!"

Zhuhua quickly stopped, "Mother, stop talking! I'll take her back to the room first!"

Zhuhua took Sijiu's hand, Sijiu seemed unwilling, retreated out without a trace, turned around and left the door first.

Zhuhua felt a little uncomfortable, looking at her small back, feeling lost in her heart.

She took Sijiu to find the dumb girl first. The dumb girl was kneeling in the warehouse full of sundries, her back straight. The moment Sijiu saw her, her eyes were a little wet.

She said guiltily, "Dumb girl, I'm late."

The dumb girl shook her head with tears in her eyes, and shook her hands in front of her chest, making gestures to convey that she was fine.

She personally helped the dumb girl up, took her cold hand, and left the dilapidated house.

After that, she didn't look at Zhuhua again, the first rift between her and her mother started...

In order to coax her, Zhuhua said to her during dinner: "Sijiu, didn't mother tell you that there will be a grand event in a few days? Do you want to see it?"

Sijiu shook his head, "I want to go home."

Zhuhua saw that Sijiu had made up her mind, so she changed her mind and continued to seduce her, "Sijiu, listen to Aunt first, do you want to cure the dumb girl's voice?"

Sijiu stopped the hand holding the vegetables, and looked at Zhuhua suspiciously, "Can the dumb girl talk?"

Zhuhua sees that Sijiu is a child after all, as long as her wish is fulfilled, she will agree to stay for a few days.

She continued: "It is a rule of our clan to hold a grand event in a few days. When a child becomes an adult, he will undergo a test of 49 kinds of poisons, including insects and herbs. As long as he can survive 24 hours, he will be qualified. Miaojiang people will Raising Gu with our bodies, our clansmen use our bodies to test the poison, so that we can make the purest medicine, don’t you want to learn medicine? Are you willing to try it, mother will not let you have trouble! As long as you can survive , maybe when grandpa is happy, he will help you save the dumb girl, how about it?"

The mute girl shook her head in fear, she would never let Sijiu take risks for herself, she would rather not speak for the rest of her life.

But Sijiu didn't even look at her, continued to eat while nodding, and calmly said: "Okay, I agree."

Zhuhua breathed a sigh of relief happily, her selfishness was not just to stay a few more days to participate in the grand event, to catch a glimpse of someone she would never forget.

She was also afraid that her parents would continue to force her to have children with someone she didn't love, and she wanted Sijiu to prove that she could inherit the mantle of the Guwa tribe.

Therefore, she had to temporarily sacrifice her daughter...

It seems that there is a reason why the Guwa tribe has not been as respected as the Ji family for so many years. The clothes are parental, and they may be better at making drugs. Otherwise, why are every condition so inhumane?
