Ye Weiwei felt a little guilty, but that guilt disappeared when she thought of her grandfather.
She has a conscience, but not much.
People are selfish. Between her own grandfather and someone else's maternal grandfather, she would naturally choose her own grandfather.
Grandpa Zhang knew exactly what she was thinking at a glance, and gave her another smack on the head, "You brat, what nonsense are you thinking! It's not what you think!"
Ye Weiwei rubbed her head, which was still sore from being hit, and asked, feeling wronged, "So what exactly happened?"
Old Master Zhang said, "When I first transmigrated here, Old Zhang hadn't yet dissipated, but his soul was already unstable and at its last gasp. Moreover, at that time, his physical condition was also not good. Although he was a renowned doctor praised by everyone, a doctor cannot heal himself, and ultimately he could not escape this calamity."
Knowing his days were numbered, Old Zhang entrusted his entire family to me after I arrived.
"How could I possibly do this! I've toiled my whole life in that place, finally managing to hand over the family business to you so I can retire in peace. Why would I be so foolish as to take on more trouble and create problems for myself? It's too much of a loss; I can't do this deal!"
Ye Weiwei almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.
It really is her old man, no doubt about it!
"Sigh! I originally planned to stay here and live a leisurely life after I cured Lao Zhang's health. Lao Zhang is getting old and should retire, so it wouldn't be bad for me to live a retirement life with him."
Who knows...
Unfortunately, the country was hit by a year of famine, and unrest was rampant everywhere...
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Lao Zhang met a fortune teller. That guy had some real skills. He could tell at a glance that Lao Zhang and I were two souls in one body. Then he cast a divination for us and said that Lao Zhang's granddaughter and I were the ones who corresponded to the divination.
I thought to myself, "Old Zhang's granddaughter shares the same name as you, so I asked her one more question. After much persuasion, the fortune teller finally told me and Old Zhang that the granddaughter's lifespan was limited and she would die before the age of eighteen. Moreover, if we didn't escape this calamity, not only would Old Zhang's family suffer, but the Ye family would also face great misfortune, separation by death, and the destruction of their homes. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would suffer immense pain and torment and would not have a peaceful end."
This terrified Lao Zhang.
No matter how much they pleaded, the fortune teller wouldn't say anything more, only leaving the words that if Old Zhang was willing to sincerely pray and give up his physical body to actively reincarnate, his granddaughter would still have a good destiny, ensuring the prosperity and happiness of the Zhang and Ye families for generations to come.
As for what kind of good fortune it was, he refused to say it again, insisting that it was a secret that could not be revealed.
When Lao Zhang and I saw that he had lost most of his energy and spirit after casting the divination, his hair had turned gray and his back was hunched, we didn't dare to force him to continue.
Afterwards, Old Zhang begged me to accept his body, to live on in his place, and to take care of his descendants. I had a vague idea of what was going on, though I wasn't sure, but I didn't want to lose this one in ten thousand chance, so I agreed.
Ye Weiwei was surprised and puzzled that her grandfather had such a strange experience: "Then how did you..."
Grandpa Zhang sighed, "That's just how things were back then. If my family and I had stayed in China, I'm afraid we wouldn't have made it to this point to meet and recognize you. Besides, your eldest uncle has a special status, and there are many things in the Zhang family that can't be discussed openly. In order to preserve the Zhang family bloodline, leaving at that time was the best choice, and that was also what Old Zhang requested before he left."
When Ye Weiwei heard that it was the original owner's maternal grandfather who made the request, she didn't ask any further questions. In that special period, this was indeed a way to protect the family.
"Then how come you've become Qin Xiao's boss again, Grandpa?" Old Master Zhang raised his chin. "What else could I do? I have to do something, otherwise how can I keep up with what's happening in China? I can't just be completely out of the loop and cut off all contact with you, can I?"
This isn't their time and space; technology is advanced. Not to mention being abroad, even on other planets, making phone calls or video calls to meet in person wouldn't be difficult.
In this backward place, it's really too difficult to stay connected.
Ye Weiwei also knew that her grandfather was working hard to make a name for himself and to gain a voice in order to help his family back home.
"Grandpa, what do you mean by saying that my eldest uncle has a special identity? By the way, why didn't I see him downstairs before?"
When asked about his eldest son, Old Master Zhang sighed softly, "He's lost! We can't find him."
Ye Weiwei frowned. "What's going on?"
Old Master Zhang sighed again, "He went out on a mission and never came back. It's been ten years. I don't know if he's alive or dead. I'm able to take control of the connections and situation here so quickly because of him."
He didn't want all of this, even though he had lost a son in the process.
But in order to find people more effectively, and for the sake of his family back home, he had no choice but to do this.
Ye Weiwei suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the old man. She stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and teased, "Old man, I told you, you're just destined to be a workaholic. See? I wasn't wrong, was I? You've even changed your body, and you still have a whole host of things to worry about. Tsk tsk!"
Grandpa Zhang was so annoyed that he wanted to whip this brat. It had been so many years since they last met, and this brat's mouth was still so sharp. She was born to annoy this old man!
The two talked for several hours in the study. After answering Ye Weiwei's questions, Grandpa Zhang asked her about her recent situation over the years, including how she came to this place in that time and what she had experienced after arriving here.
He wasn't too worried about Ye Weiwei's experiences after arriving here. After all, he knew how outstanding his granddaughter was, and besides, she was protected by the family's inherited spatial artifact, so she wouldn't suffer any losses at all.
He was curious about what happened to his granddaughter after his death.
Ye Weiwei briefly touched on the matter over there with just a few words, but it still made Old Master Zhang so angry that he wished he could go back in time and fight those bastards to the death!
Ye Weiwei had long since let go of the past. Putting aside the fact that she met Qin Xiao and gained a group of family members who were genuinely kind to her after she came here, just the fact that she was able to reunite with her grandfather here made her feel that all those things in the past were nothing.
She was even somewhat grateful to those people for bringing her here.
But seeing that her old man was still quite angry, Ye Weiwei patted him to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, although I suffered a loss, they didn't get any benefit either. I took away a large group of people by myself, so it wasn't a loss."
Grandpa Zhang was furious, glaring at Ye Weiwei with hatred: "Are you stupid, you brat? Is this how you calculate things? What kind of trash are they to compare with you? Do they even deserve to?"
