"No, it's impossible! Back then..." The old woman, who had just caught up with the girl, almost collapsed into the mud in front of her when she heard the girl's words.
She stared at the gentle, smiling girl before her, her whole body trembling uncontrollably from the overwhelming emotion. This face, this face was exactly the same as the girl Old Lin had brought back back then…
For a moment, this made the old lady feel as if she had returned to the scene fifty years ago when Grandpa Lin brought that little girl back to Beijing.
At that time, Grandpa Lin also brought his beloved girl to appear before her and Lin's parents. He said that he had fallen in love with the girl beside him, and that while she was recuperating in her village, the two of them had already completed the wedding ceremony according to the village's customs. This time, he came back firstly to introduce her to his parents, and secondly to complete the marriage registration.
How could such a thing be allowed!
If that girl is his lover, then what is she?!
After so many years of waiting, is this just a joke we got?!
“What happened back then? You clearly arranged for my grandmother to be given to two human traffickers, didn’t you?! So how could my grandmother, a weak woman, escape the clutches of those two human traffickers and return to the village in such a completely unfamiliar environment?!”
The girl seemed to see right through the old woman's confusion and bewilderment, and even discerned the fear and worry that had been lurking deep within her soul.
Her simple, smiling remark left everyone present speechless once again.
How... how is this possible?!
"You're talking nonsense! How could my grandmother do such a thing?!" Almost simultaneously, Lin Aoze, the third grandson of the Lin family, couldn't help but glare at the girl in front of him and shout.
In his memory, his grandmother was always gentle and polite, and she never even raised her voice. How could she possibly collude with human traffickers and harm the person who saved his grandfather's life?!
This is a crime!
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, your grandma knows best, doesn't she!" The girl giggled, not paying much attention to the old lady's attitude, and turned to look at Grandpa Lin: "Grandpa, Grandma has been waiting for you for over fifty years! How much longer are you going to make her wait?!"
"Old Lin, you can't go, you can't!" The old lady, with a strength she didn't know she came from, pushed aside her daughter-in-law and daughter who were supporting her, took two steps to Old Master Lin's side, and grabbed his arm: "We're already married, we're husband and wife! We've been through so many years together, how could it be less than a few months of affection?!"
"Ha, Grandma, you really have a way with words!" The girl laughed at the old lady's words. After a long while, she stopped laughing and looked at her coldly: "It was clearly my grandma who married my grandpa first!"
They swore an oath before the Five Gu Gods to live and die together, to never be separated! But in the end, because of your despicable and shameless behavior, they have been separated for so many years!
You've already taken advantage of enough! If you're still not satisfied, do you think you haven't suffered enough retribution?!
"You mean all the misfortunes that befell the Lin family were your revenge?!" Supporting the old woman was Lin Yueyang, the youngest daughter of the Lin family. Staring at the girl before her, she couldn't help but gasp, "You...do you know that just a few days ago, an innocent person died tragically because of your revenge! You just kept saying my mother would be punished, but what about you? You've done so many evil deeds, killing nine children in our Lin family—isn't that enough?!"
"This is not my revenge, but merely the backlash for breaking my oath!" The little girl didn't care at all about Lin Yueyang's accusation. She smiled slightly, raised her hand and pointed to the stone pillar in the center of the village that was carved with the Five Poisons pattern. Her tone suddenly rose a few degrees, and she said righteously, "That is the Five Poison God we worship!"
Back then, my grandmother and grandfather made their vow to stay together for life right in front of it!
If anyone disobeys this, may they be childless and extinct, and be condemned to eternal hell!
My grandmother went through countless hardships to return to the village, but she still refused to believe that my grandfather would really forget her! So, she prayed to the Five Gu Gods, asking for a chance for my grandfather. If he could remember everything and return to the village in his lifetime, she would no longer hold his past betrayals and mistakes against him, and would forgive and accept him again!
However, my grandmother waited until her death, but she never saw my grandfather return!
If it weren't for the backlash from the love spell, you probably would never have thought of coming back here in your entire lives!
Yes, your family lived a harmonious, happy, and peaceful life, but all of this was earned by my grandmother through a lifetime of poverty, hardship, and sorrow!
Don't you deserve retribution?!
And you, for your own selfish desires, you did those despicable and filthy things. Do you think that if you don't speak up, this secret can really be hidden forever?!
Good and evil are rewarded accordingly; the cycle of karma is real!
Now, it's time for you to pay your debts!
"Yes, it's all my fault, but why, why aren't you taking revenge on me?! Old Lin just forgot, he really just forgot!"
Furthermore, I was the one who harmed your grandmother back then, and I was the one who made her wait so many years!
Even if there is retribution, it should be me who bears it. Why are you looking for my descendants, why are you looking for Old Lin?!
Decades-old secrets were unearthed again. Seeing the secret she had kept hidden her whole life being so ruthlessly revealed to the public, the old woman could no longer bear it and broke down in tears. She took several steps closer to the girl, staring at her and screaming, "If you want to kill, kill me! Please, spare Old Lin, spare my children and grandchildren!"
"It's too late. From the moment my grandmother passed away, the backlash from the love spell began! Not only you, but I will also suffer the consequences!"
"However, my grandmother waited for my grandfather for over fifty years. You took up all of my grandfather's time while he was alive. Now that things have come to this, shouldn't you give the rest of your time to my grandmother?" The girl turned to look at Grandpa Lin and slowly raised her hand in a gesture of invitation: "Grandpa, whether you come in or leave is entirely up to you!"
If you hurry now, you should be able to see my grandmother before she crosses the Bridge of Helplessness!
Don't you want to see her again and apologize to her?!
"Of course." Grandpa Lin nodded, ignoring the objections from his children, grandchildren, and grandmother. He stared at the girl in front of him for a while before chuckling softly, "It's so nice, Ah Man. I've finally remembered you again."
