Chapter 228 Schrödinger's Cat
Long Xi was the first to disbelieve: "Impossible. Xiao Ying said she wanted to see you so much, how could she possibly call off the engagement?"
Ao Lijun: "It's true, it's true! I'm not lying to you! She came on her own initiative, and she even brought her mother with her!"
She was wearing glasses at the time, and suddenly she saw me. It startled me!
She said that after her eyesight was restored, she found that it wasn't all that great.
If you marry me, you will be trapped in the square cage of the Ao family.
She would rather be free in the darkness for the rest of her life.
Zhang Mo and Jiu Xuan exchanged a glance.
This sounds true; it's not something someone like Ao Lijun would make up.
Sure enough, after Ao Lijun finished speaking, he felt quite aggrieved: "Do you think she has something wrong with her head? She's blind! I don't let her go out, it's all for her own good! I'm worried something might happen to her!"
Besides, the traditional roles are men to work outside the home and women to manage the household. What's wrong with a woman staying home to be a wife and mother after marriage? Am I wrong to prevent her from going out and showing her face in public?
Before Zhang Mo could even speak, Hu Meifang kicked her, yelling, "You still have the nerve to spout that bullshit about men being the breadwinners and women staying at home! The worst thing that ever happened to me was marrying a good-for-nothing like you!"
Unexpectedly, Ao Lijun also harbored a great deal of anger: "Do you think I won't be unlucky just because I married a shrew like you?!"
We married her properly, and my family gave such a large dowry, and now our son wants to take your surname? Just because you earn more than me?
Hu Meifang: "That's right, that's right, I do earn more than you, so what? You're just incompetent!"
Ao Lijun: "If I hadn't given you those glasses, would you have made so much money?!"
Seeing the couple arguing heatedly, Jiu Xuan snorted coldly, suddenly stepped forward, and stomped heavily on Ao Lijun's hand, her heel digging deep into the back of his hand. Ao Lijun immediately let out a painful scream, the sound echoing in the ward, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Jiu Xuan: "Stop changing the subject. Tell me properly, how did you get these glasses? What did you do to Xiao Ying...?"
"Ah! I'll talk, I'll talk!" Ao Lijun roared in despair, his voice filled with endless hope. "Xiao Ying said she wanted to break off the engagement, and I felt very embarrassed, so we had a fight."
During the pushing and shoving, her glasses fell off, and I picked them up.
She acted like she really valued it, and tried frantically to snatch it back, so I assumed it was some kind of high-tech, expensive product...
I... I got greedy for a second and locked Xiaoying and her mother in the cellar behind my yard..."
Even Hu Meifang couldn't believe it: "You...you actually dared to kill someone?"
Hu Dechang immediately said, "Did you hear that? He killed the man! My daughter and I are innocent! Let us go!"
Hu Ruisu: "Yeah, yeah, I wasn't even born back then, what does it have to do with me? Let me go!"
Ao Lijun looked terrified and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't kill anyone. I just thought I'd lock them up for two days and then take the glasses to the city to sell them."
Meifang! Didn't I go to find your father immediately afterward? You can testify for me on this!
Jiu Xuan grabbed him by the rope around his neck and pulled him up: "What happened to Xiao Ying in the end? Answer me!"
Ao Lijun avoided her gaze: "Later... then... a mudslide suddenly occurred in the village, and the cellars were all flooded... I didn't kill anyone, I didn't know, I really didn't mean to!"
Of course he didn't know, because on the day the mudslide occurred, he and his future father-in-law discovered the amazing feature of the glasses: they could predict the future in a short period of time.
On that very day, the two of them won a whopping 300,000 at the casino using these glasses, which became their first pot of gold.
This is equivalent to 300,000 RMB from the last century.
It was precisely because of these glasses that their family always managed to stay ahead of the curve, making every choice a highly profitable business at the time.
Moreover, it is not illegal at all.
"No... impossible." Long Xi couldn't believe it. She was on the verge of a breakdown and fell into a state of self-doubt she had never experienced before. Her right eye, which had not yet recovered, started bleeding again. "I saw Xiao Ying's future. She was happy and surrounded by many children. How could she have died so young?"
How is that possible?
"Was it me...was it me who ruined her?"
Jiang Rong quickly took out some hemostatic powder: "You can't get so agitated, calm down."
But Long Xi couldn't control her emotions at all.
She didn't understand. Although it was only a very brief moment, she had clearly seen it! How could it possibly have changed?!
Zhang Mo frowned and muttered, repeating what she had just said: "Many children?"
Jiu Xuan suddenly exclaimed, "Xi Xi, what are you doing?!"
Zhang Mo looked up and saw that Long Xi had actually cleaved open a spatial rift that emitted a faint blue light!
A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Long Xi's mouth, gradually increasing: "If I changed her fate, I will change it back."
I want her to live.
Jiu Xuan stepped forward and hugged her tightly, pressing down on her arm: "Are you crazy? You want to bring someone who died 30 years ago back to life? Do you know how much this will change?"
Such a huge karmic burden is simply too much for your current body to bear!
You will die!
Jiang Rong also tried to stop her, saying, "Don't be impulsive. If you keep this up, I'll give you a sedative!"
Yan Hui paced anxiously in the air, pleading, "Boss, please think of something!"
Don't ask why she also calls him "boss." She's been following Zhang Mo for two days, and it's hard for her not to submit.
Zhang Mo's mind was racing with thoughts, and suddenly a clue seemed to appear. She grabbed Ao Lijun by the collar and demanded, "Answer me, after the mudslide, did you ever open that cellar again?"
Ao Lijun was terrified when the supernatural phenomenon of the spatial rift appeared: "I...no, no, no. I didn't dare to look at it at all."
Our house was rebuilt later, but it was flooded by a mudslide, and that land has remained abandoned ever since.
He had just won a large sum of money, which he used to build a new house.
Nobody knew that there were two other people living in the cellar of the old house...
Zhang Mo finally smiled; she understood.
"Long Xi, listen to me, I know how to save Xiao Ying at the lowest possible cost."
Have you ever heard of Schrödinger's cat?
