In Wang Wenjun's impression, the Wang family did pay a lot for this pendant, including Grandma Wang's life.
Grandma Wang is a famous "divine woman" in Sifang Village. The Wang family has a "divine magic" that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has always been passed down to daughters and not models.
The Wang family's "magic" is very powerful. As long as you can afford the "sacrifice" offered by the statue of the god, your wishes will come true.
Strangely enough, ever since the Wang family enshrined the deity, each generation has only produced daughters, never sons. Only one of the daughters in each generation is chosen by the deity to become a "divine woman." The Wang family's "divine woman" not only knows how to predict the future but can also alter a person's fortune. Of course, the price of such a change is enormous.
The daughters of the Wang family have always been married into the family.
The pendant appeared when Grandma Wang was fifteen years old, and the pendant recognized Grandma Wang as its master.
With this magical pendant, Grandma Wang broke the "curse" that the Wang family's daughters could only give birth to daughters, and gave birth to a son.
With the help of the pendant, the Wang family soon became a wealthy family known far and wide.
The Wang family was wealthy, but had few descendants. Grandma Wang did not force it, as she knew this was the fate of the Wang family.
The Wang family's ancestral "divine art" requires the offering of a blood relative to a statue. This "secret art" is not the right path, and over time, it will weaken the Wang family's luck. After receiving the pendant and recognizing its owner, Grandma Wang felt that the Wang family's luck might be slowly strengthening.
Wang Wenjun's father's generation was the only child left. Grandma Wang breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally thought that if Wang Wenjun was a boy, her "magic" might have been lost.
The birth of Wang Wenjun made Grandma Wang feel that there was someone to carry on her legacy. From the age of three, Grandma Wang took Wang Wenjun with her and taught her the "magic arts" passed down from her ancestors.
Wang Wenjun was very intelligent and showed great potential in learning the magic arts. Grandma Wang was delighted and taught Wang Wenjun all her skills.
The days passed one by one.
When Wang Wenjun was ten years old, he noticed Zhu Xiangyang, a young man from the same village.
Although Zhu Xiangyang looked pale and thin due to hunger, Wang Wenjun, who had just started learning "magic", felt that Zhu Xiangyang would definitely have a great future.
After getting Grandma Wang's consent, Wang Wenjun would bring steamed buns to "support" Zhu Xiangyang. Wang Wenjun had made up her mind that even if she and Zhu Xiangyang could not become husband and wife in the future, she would not suffer any loss by spending some of her own food, which was not lacking, to make friends with a future great man.
Three years later, the contract between Grandma Wang and the pendant was about to expire. The pendant gave Grandma Wang a hint: its new owner would be a young man from the same village as Grandma Wang.
After a thorough screening, Grandma Wang decided that among the twenty or so young men from the same village, only Zhu Xiangyang had the potential. Grandma Wang's vision was much sharper than Wang Wenjun's. While Wang Wenjun merely sensed Zhu Xiangyang's potential for rapid success, Grandma Wang was different. She was a physiognomist. Zhu Xiangyang's full face and square chin were obvious signs of nobility; otherwise, Grandma Wang wouldn't have approved Wang Wenjun's approach to him.
In order to trap Zhu Xiangyang, Grandma Wang terminated the contract with the pendant before Zhu Xiangyang left the village.
Grandma Wang asked Wang Wenjun to give the pendant to Zhu Xiangyang, and also told Wang Wenjun to guide Zhu Xiangyang to recognize the pendant as his owner by dripping blood.
Sure enough, Grandma Wang's efforts paid off. After Zhu Xiangyang became the new owner of Liu Zhui, he was extremely grateful to Wang Wenjun.
Grandma Wang terminated the contract with the pendant ahead of time, which was a huge mistake. Not long after, Grandma Wang passed away.
Wang Wenjun regretted it deeply. If she had known it would be like this, she would rather not have Zhu Xiangyang's gratitude. The pendant would belong to Zhu Xiangyang in the end anyway, it would just be a little later than ten o'clock.
After Grandma Wang's death, the Wang family gradually fell into decline. Even if Wang Wenjun possessed magical powers comparable to Grandma Wang's, who in the surrounding area would believe that a teenage girl could be a "witch"? Without Grandma Wang's protection, the Wang family gradually declined.
By the time Zhu Xiangyang achieved success and returned to the village to marry Wang Wenjun, the Wang family had already fallen on hard times.
Because of this, Wang Wenjun has always felt guilty about "deceiving" Zhu Xiangyang. Wang Wenjun believes that if the favor of "giving" the pendant hadn't been there, Zhu Xiangyang, now a high-ranking official, would definitely not return to the village to marry her. Her marriage to Zhu Xiangyang was built on deception.
After listening to Wang Wenjun's "story", Zhu Xiangyang was silent for a long time.
"Xiangyang, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you back then. If I hadn't implicated you, you wouldn't have suffered all those years." Wang Wenjun lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhu Xiangyang's face. After Zhu Xiangyang was sent down to the countryside, although he had the pendant space and his family didn't starve, they still suffered a lot. This incident was the thing Wang Wenjun felt most guilty about. If it weren't for her, the "witch's" granddaughter, Zhu Xiangyang wouldn't have had to endure all those hardships.
Zhu Xiangyang sighed deeply in his heart.
It was all his fault. He had been so focused on work over the years that he had neglected to communicate with Wang Wenjun. Zhu Xiangyang didn't know about the pendant at first, but he was the owner. As his control over space grew stronger, Zhu Xiangyang learned the truth. At that time, he and Wang Wenjun were not married yet.
But Zhu Xiangyang didn't care about the truth at all. He married Wang Wenjun not because of the pendant, but because he always had Wang Wenjun, a kind girl, in his heart.
But what Zhu Xiangyang didn't expect was that Wang Wenjun had always been concerned about this matter.
"Ajun, we have been married for decades. There are some things I think you understand even if I don't need to say them." Zhu Xiangyang held Wang Wenjun's hand.
"What?" Wang Wenjun was confused.
"Ajun, there are some things I will only say once. Listen carefully, I like you because you are you. It has nothing to do with whether you gave me the pendant or not. If I want to repay you, I can give you money or find you a husband from a wealthy family. Why should I repay you with my own marriage? Don't you think so?" Zhu Xiangyang stared into Wang Wenjun's eyes and said seriously.
Zhu Xiangyang never liked sweet talk, and it took him a lot of effort to say this love talk.
"Xiangyang, thank you for liking me." Wang Wenjun looked at Zhu Xiangyang's sincere eyes and couldn't help shedding tears.
After listening to Zhu Xiangyang's alternative confession, Wang Wenjun felt that her heart, which had been so high, suddenly settled down.
"Yes, so, Ajun, stop it! Don't feel guilty towards Jun anymore." Zhu Xiangyang's words were like thunder, causing Wang Wenjun's face to change.
