Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 954: 232: True Colors! Extremely Disgusting!

Liu Qinian used to be honest and loyal; otherwise, the old master of the Zhao Family would not have trusted to take him as his son-in-law.

Zhao Shuyue’s impression of Liu Qinian remained from sixty years ago.

But after sixty years, the handsome and dashing young man had turned into an old man with white hair. Who knew what kind of heart lay hidden beneath his belly? _{𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om}

She had changed from Zhao Shuyue to Liu Zhao’s wife, and then back to Zhao Shuyue; it was a perfect example.

Everything was changing, including people’s hearts.

Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "What treasure map? It’s all just rumors, our ancestors never buried any gold."

"How could there be none!" Liu Qinian exclaimed in surprise. "I clearly heard our father mention it. Shuyue, we’re family. Are you still hiding it from me?"

The ancestors of the Zhao Family were originally wealthy landlords, keeping a batch of gold was very normal, and this fact came from the old master himself, how could it be false?

Now Zhao Shuyue obviously did not consider him one of her own!

"There really isn’t any." Zhao Shuyue retorted, "If there were any gold mines, would I be living such a desolate life?"

"This..." Liu Qinian choked, knowing that Zhao Shuyue was testing him. He decided not to say any more and simply stated, "Shuyue, wealth and possessions are external things. You can’t take it with you when you’re born or when you die. I’m just worried about your age now; if something happens one day... Do you intend to take these secrets to the grave?"

After saying this, Liu Qinian continued, "When I got married into the Zhao Family, I became a Zhao family member. I’ve thought it through, if you agree, after I adopt Xiaoru to you and let her take your surname, in any case, the Zhao line must not end with us. Shuyue, what do you think?"

In Liu Qinian’s view, there was no such thing as being married into a family.

Zhao Shuyue married him and should follow him regardless of life or death, isn’t Zhao Shuyue considered a member of the Liu Family?

But now, Zhao Shuyue held a treasure map, and if he didn’t lower his stance a bit, Zhao Shuyue would not trust him!

With no other choice, he could only painfully allow Xiaoru to change her surname first!

Once Zhao Shuyue took out the treasure map, Xiaoru’s surname, whatever it should be, would still be needed.

Zhao Shuyue was a woman who emerged from an old era; she valued family legacy above everything else.

If the Zhao line ended with Zhao Shuyue, then she would be considered a sinner!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuyue’s expression changed. "Are you really willing to let Xiaoru change her surname?"

"Of course!" Liu Qinian nodded.

"Would Wentang agree to it?" asked Zhao Shuyue.

At this moment, Zhao Shuyue was somewhat swayed.

In her life, she had neither children nor other surviving family members.

If Liu Qinian agreed to let Xiaoru change her surname, then after a hundred years, she could also reconcile with her ancestors.

Seeing Zhao Shuyue like this, Liu Qinian probably had an idea and added, "Wentang is a good woman, since she agreed to adopt Xiaoru to you, she will definitely agree to letting Xiaoru change her surname."

Today Jiu Wentang and Xiaoru did not come together; Zhao Shuyue then said, "Then you go back and discuss it with Wentang and the others?"

"Alright," Liu Qinian nodded. "Then, Shuyue, you just wait for my good news at home!"

"Mhm."

That night, Liu Qinian went back and discussed the matter with Jiu Wentang.

Jiu Wentang understandingly said, "Xiaoru is your daughter, you have no objections, what objections could I have? Qinian, you are the head of our family; you decide on these matters, what do I, a mere housewife, know?"

Jiu Wentang greatly satisfied Liu Qinian’s male pride.

"Wentang, you really are understanding." Liu Qinian put his arm around Jiu Wentang’s shoulders. "Luckily, heavens let me meet you. Zhao Shuyue is just a rock in a privy pit!"

He and Zhao Shuyue were married, and her things should naturally belong to him!

Yet Zhao Shuyue insisted on using the treasure map to trouble him.

Adopting Xiaoru to her was not enough; she even wanted Xiaoru to change her surname!

Having sighed in relief, Liu Qinian also harbored resentment.

Why should his daughter take Zhao Shuyue’s surname?

Jiu Wentang continued, "So will our Xiaoru be named Zhao from now on?"

"Impossible!" Liu Qinian flatly denied, "Xiaoru is my daughter! The Zhao Family is doomed to end! Once we get the treasure map, Xiaoru will immediately change her surname back."
