In the post-apocalyptic era, a mutated cat demon uses up her last life and obtains a childbirth system. As long as she gives birth to children for those heirless bigshots, she can achieve eternal l...
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves. Everyone's eyes fell on the second girl of the Zhu family who was still kneeling on the ground.
She bit her lower lip tightly and said nothing, but looked at Rong Xi with obvious disapproval and a hint of anger in her eyes.
The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over. He shouted angrily, "What do you mean by this? Don't try to slander my granddaughter! My Zhu family is also a well-known family in this city. How can we allow you to slander us like this!"
"Over the years, my elder brother has endured all kinds of hardships, including taking medicine and getting acupuncture treatments, praying to the gods, and enduring all kinds of hardships, in order to give birth to an heir for your Zhu family. But have you ever thought of asking someone to check on your elder sister-in-law? You only blindly blame my elder brother. Is this the way your Zhu family conducts themselves?"
Rong Xi's voice was calm and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could there be anything wrong with my granddaughter's health? She's been healthy and lively since she was little, never having any major or minor illness. It must be that your brother has some hidden illness, and you're deliberately concealing it in an attempt to get away with it!"
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and refuted loudly.
Rong Xi remained unmoved, his tone remaining calm: "I know a doctor with excellent medical skills. Since you don't believe it, then let the doctor come and take a look. Let the facts speak for themselves, which is better than you guys just making empty assumptions and blaming each other."
"Why should you be able to watch it? You can watch it if you want! This is my Zhu family's family affair, and it's not your turn as an outsider to make comments!"
A young man from the Zhu family jumped out and shouted, his face flushed and his eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
"Because my father-in-law is the county magistrate and the elder of my sister-in-law, and because my elder brother has suffered for her all these years, and because I am here today, if you don't want to let the doctor examine you, then you must have heard of my reputation. If I do something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences."
Rong Xi raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable dominance and ruffian spirit.
"you……"
The old man was about to argue, but the second daughter of the Zhu family on the ground suddenly agreed: "Okay, I agree to let the doctor check it out. My husband has really suffered a lot for me over the years."
"Qing'er, you are confused! Do you know that if what happened today gets out, how can you live as a human being in the future? The reputation of our Zhu family will be ruined!" The old man stamped his feet in anxiety, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"Grandfather, my husband has suffered a lot for me these years. Even if what happened today were known to everyone, I would be willing to do it. I only care about him, not those empty reputations. As long as I can be with him, I am not afraid of anything."
Rong Xi looked at her and secretly admired her in his heart. No wonder the elder brother was so devoted to her.
The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. But in a moment, his cunning eyes moved quickly again, and it was obvious that he had thought of a response plan again.
"Okay, since my granddaughter is willing to let the doctor check her out, then I agree, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?" Rong Xi asked.
"If it's your eldest brother's fault, then let them divorce. Miss Jiang, you can't possibly end the Zhu family's incense. This matter of offspring is related to the family's prosperity and decline, so we can't be careless in the slightest."
Rong Xi knew in her heart that this matter concerned her elder brother's lifelong happiness. She couldn't make a decision for him without authorization, so she could only give him enough confidence.
"Big brother, you can agree or not. No matter what your choice is, you have me, your parents-in-law, and the entire Jiang family behind you. Even if you choose to go back, I will support you for the rest of your life."
When Jiang Zhuxi heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He knew that once a man got married, his original home could only be called his mother's home, and it would not be easy to go back.
"Xi'er, thank you." He looked deeply at his wife and finally made up his mind. "Grandfather, I agree."
The second daughter of the Zhu family hurriedly shouted, "Why do you have to do this? I have already decided on you. How could I possibly do anything to let you down again? No matter what the outcome, I will not leave you. We will face it together."
For a moment, the atmosphere was deadlocked. Seeing this, Rong Xi had to speak again.
"If this problem lies with my sister-in-law, what will you do? You can't let my elder brother suffer all these years of pain and grievance for no reason, right?"
"If it's my daughter who's at fault, then we won't divorce her and won't interfere in their affairs anymore. If she can't have children, our Zhu family will take responsibility."
Rong Xi sneered, "You really want it all! I'm also making it clear here that if the problem lies with the eldest sister-in-law, then we will also divorce."
Rong Xi glanced at Jiang Zhuxi with a determined look, then cast his sharp gaze on the Zhu family and spoke in a cold and unquestionable voice.
"Not only that, my elder brother's youth wasted in your Zhu family over the years must be compensated with deeds to fertile land, farms, and shops. If you try to get away with it, then our Jiang family is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated."
When the old man of the Zhu family heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Rong Xi with trembling fingers and shouted in frustration.
"You, you, you, as the saying goes, it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. How could you act like this? This aggressiveness is truly against common sense!"
Rong Xi's lips curled up into a mocking smile, and he responded calmly, "How could that be? Old Master, you weren't so understanding just now. Your decisiveness at that time didn't consider my elder brother's situation or feelings at all."
The old man blushed and argued, "How can it be the same? Your eldest brother is a man, and he has the responsibility to produce children. Besides, if he divorces, how can he find a good family in the future? His reputation for the rest of his life will be ruined!"
Rong Xi raised her eyebrows and said proudly.
"That's my Jiang family's business, so please don't worry about it. My Jiang family will definitely protect him. Even if he can't find a suitable family in the future, my Jiang family will never treat him unfairly."
The old man was choked by Rong Xi's words and couldn't speak for a long time. He just stared at her with wide eyes and anger on his face.
Rong Xi didn't want to waste any more words with this unreasonable old man. She waved her hand gently, indicating Qiu Shuang to invite in the doctor who had been prepared.
However, the old man then spoke in a sarcastic tone: "This is the person you brought here. How do I know you won't tamper with it? Who can guarantee the fairness of this result?"
Rong Xi's expression was indifferent, and his tone was calm but majestic.
"My Jiang family acts in an upright manner. Although we disdain to do such despicable things, since you have doubts in your heart, you can arrange a doctor yourself."
