Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
Su Nian didn't care what others said, he just looked at the woman and said, "Tell me in detail."
The woman had become a little nervous because of what people around her said, and she was also afraid that the information she had said would be useless.
Now hearing Su Nian say this, all the worries disappeared immediately.
"When we first met the boss, he was wearing a mask on his face and a black robe with a hat on. Not only was it difficult to see his appearance, but even his figure was unclear."
“The eldest brother brought us here and let us live here. He stayed here for one or two years and then left.
It has probably been a year since I left."
Su Nian frowned, "Then why did he bring you here to live? Did he ask you to do anything for him?"
Bringing people here to live and letting so many people settle down here, it can't be possible just to do good deeds without leaving a name, right?
Although Su Nian also believed that there must be such people in this world, this person obviously could not be such a person.
The woman hesitated, "He..."
Seeing that she was hesitant and unwilling to speak, Su Nian urged her lightly, "You have said so much. If you answer one more question, you can go in and eat. Are you really willing to give up like this?"
As soon as Su Nian said this, the woman's eyes began to light up, "I can not eat it, but can I let my grandson eat it?"
She is still thinking about her grandson at this time. She is a good grandmother.
Su Nian just wanted to know the answer. She didn't care who was going to eat, so she nodded directly, "Of course."
"He asked us to give him all the young women who could bear children. But for some reason, no one could get pregnant. Then he left.
I have finished speaking, can I let my grandson go eat now?"
Su Nian nodded, "Okay, go ahead!"
Hearing Su Nian's agreement, the woman immediately pushed the man beside her and said, "Grandson, go eat quickly! If you don't go now, the food will be eaten up!"
Su Nian also glanced at the woman's grandson.
I don’t know if it’s because he looks old or for some other reason, but he looks to be in his twenties or thirties.
After being pushed by the woman, the grandson went straight into the cave and couldn't wait to eat.
Looking at her grandson wolfing down the food, the woman showed a look of satisfaction on her face.
"Is this your only grandson?" Su Nian asked curiously.
The woman shook her head. "No, there's also my son. Can I have him in to eat too?"
Su Nian looked towards her and saw someone standing next to her. The man looked to be in his forties or fifties and looked very old.
Su Nian chose to ignore the woman's expectant look, "Is there anyone else in your family?"
Although the woman didn't understand what Su Nian meant, she still answered Su Nian's question, "There are also my daughter-in-law and two granddaughters, but they don't need to eat. If you want, just let my son go in and eat."
After hearing the woman's answer, Su Nian had only one thought in his mind - favoring boys over girls.
Old ladies like this are not uncommon, whether before or after the end of the world, so Su Nian was not surprised.
Just when Su Nian was about to ask someone else, an old lady not far away sneered and said, "Your daughter-in-law doesn't have to eat, but your granddaughter can still eat a few bites. Otherwise, she will starve to death, and I won't be able to bring you a great-grandson."
This was a bit strange, making Su Nian frown.
In the current situation, many people cannot afford to marry, and marriage exchange is common.
But even if so, what can be exchanged for is only the granddaughter-in-law, how can it be exchanged for the great-grandson?
Su Nian looked at the old woman who was speaking in surprise, but before he could ask, the old woman had avoided Su Nian's sight.
If she didn't avoid it, Su Nian wouldn't find it too strange.
But the old woman's reaction clearly indicated that there was some unknown secret hidden in this.
But there are no absolute secrets in this world.
No matter what you say, as long as it is spoken and heard by him, it will inevitably be known by others.
Not to mention, there are so many people standing here, and they obviously know everything, so there is no need to talk about whether it is a secret or not.
Su Nian's eyes swept across their faces one by one.
"Can anyone tell me what she meant by that just now?"
Seeing that they were silent, Su Nian glanced at the table in the cave and said, "Look at the food. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to eat it."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately swallowed their saliva.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
Even birds would die for a bite of food, let alone people like them.
Besides, we are not asking them to die, we are just asking them to tell a secret known to everyone.
There are so many of them, whoever speaks out first can go to eat.
If you say it too late, you won’t have a chance to eat it.
"It's not a big deal, actually. All these women of childbearing age have been used by the boss, so we thought we couldn't waste them, so we just took turns using them."
Even though Su Nian already had some guesses in his mind after hearing this, he still asked, "Tell me more about it."
Su Nian's expression was calm and his voice was level.
This made some worried people gradually relax, thinking that Su Nian was just simply curious.
"It's actually quite simple. You can exchange your own women with others and agree on the duration of the exchange.
If you can get pregnant during this period, you can take good care of the baby with good food and drink until the baby is born. Then you can decide whether to return it directly or continue using it.
If you want to keep him, you can either exchange him for a woman or give him food. It all depends on how the two families negotiate."
The person who said this was none other than the woman who asked her grandson to go to the cave to eat.
Although she is an old woman, she is still a woman. Why can she say such words so lightly?
Perhaps it was Su Nian's expressionless stare that made the woman a little flustered, and her voice was louder than before when she spoke.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not the only one doing this, everyone does this!
Besides, it is natural for women to give birth to children. If they give birth to children and keep the men, they don’t have to be replaced again and again, right?
If they themselves are incapable of bearing children, then they can’t blame others.”
I don’t know if it was the confidence her voice gave her, but by the end, she actually became righteous and confident.
Seeing the woman like this, Su Nian chuckled, "Since you see it so clearly, why don't you go up?"
"You...what did you say?"
"I say, why don't you go and have a baby yourself?"
