Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s-Chapter 20 - 0 white ape

"What does the white monkey look like? Do you remember, Ah Nan?" Old Man asked his granddaughter.

Tian Sisi did not know what the white ape looked like, but she had seen a statue of a white ape at the White Ape Temple in her past life. So, she described it in detail; it had six ears, was as tall as a person, had long white fur, wore a long robe, and even had a ring on its head.

In reality, the white ape statue Tian Sisi saw in her past life was carved by the local villagers based on the Six-Eared Divine Monkey. But she had accidentally hit the mark, as the white ape the Old Man had heard of from the elderly in the village was also modeled after the Six-Eared Divine Monkey, which made the Old Man believe her.

Although the Old Man was a veteran revolutionary and had broad knowledge, he firmly believed in such extraordinary beings. In his eyes, Tian Sisi had never heard of the white ape legend, yet she described it so accurately. This indicated that his granddaughter had indeed seen the white ape in her dream, which surely meant she was extraordinary!

In fact, Granny Zhao and the Old Man had always said that Tian Sisi was a blessing to the family, and this was not without reason. When Tian Mantong first brought Ah Nan home, for some reason, Ah Nan always had nightmares and cried at night. After trying many solutions in vain, they had no choice but to take the child to a very famous old master in the neighboring county, who was not only a skilled doctor but also excelled in physiognomy.

The old master looked at Ah Nan's face and touched her hand, then told them, "This adopted granddaughter of yours is a blessing, she will bring prosperity to your family. However, she faces a trial when she turns ten. If she overcomes it, it will bring even greater fortune, and your Tian Family will prosper for at least a hundred years. But if not, her good fortune will disappear, and her future will not be favorable."

Actually, the trial the old master mentioned was not about life and death but related to the original auspice of the girl herself, unrelated to life and death. However, Granny Zhao and the Old Man misunderstood it as a life-threatening ordeal. Last time, when Ah Nan fell into the ice hole, they were terrified, fearing something might happen to their granddaughter. If initially Granny Zhao and the Old Man had some selfish hopes to harness Ah Nan's good fortune for the prosperity of the Tian Family, over time their affection became sincere, and they had forgotten the old master's words.

Later, when Tian Sisi recovered from her illness, they were genuinely happy. Now hearing Tian Sisi talk about the white monkey, suddenly the Old Man remembered the old master's words. Could it be...? Thinking of this, the Old Man got excited. To bring prosperity to the family for a hundred years would be incredibly honorable!

The Old Man instructed, "From now on, don't talk about such matters again, Ah Nan, not even to the people of your second uncle's family, understand?"

Tian Sisi nodded, "I'll just talk to our immediate family."

"Besides Grandpa, Granny, and your dad and Mama, don't mention it even to your third uncle and youngest uncle. Remember that, tomorrow Grandpa will go up the mountain with you to pick up rabbits." The Old Man truly cherished Tian Sisi and didn't want her to be hurt in any way.

"Good, we will pick more rabbits together so we can eat meat every day," said Tian Sisi, eager to go with the Old Man. As long as the Old Man believed in her dream about the white ape, getting what she wanted later would be a piece of cake.

The Old Man also gave Donghua and Qinghua a stern warning not to talk to anyone about tonight's conversation, or they wouldn't get any meat to eat in the future. The two kids nodded vigorously; they wouldn't talk carelessly! Satisfied, the Old Man waved his hand and sent the three children to wash up and go to bed.

Donghua thought for a moment, then leaned close to Granny Zhao's ear and relayed the incident involving Zhu Qingping. The more Granny Zhao listened, the darker her face grew. This daughter-in-law, Jinhua, was truly outrageous; she even dared to harm such a well-behaved Ah Nan? Complaining that Ah Nan was tasked even with simple tasks like peeling seeds, truly the height of laziness. No, they must find an opportunity to properly discipline her and teach her the rules of the Tian Family.

Taking advantage of washing Tian Sisi's face, Granny Zhao rolled up her left sleeve, and indeed, there was a pale blue mark on her arm. Actually, it was mainly because Tian Sisi's skin was very delicate, and a little force would leave a mark, but seen from the eyes of the Old Man and Tian Man Yin, the person who hit must have used a lot of force.

Tian Sisi saw the expression on Granny Zhao's face and knew something was amiss, quickly saying, "Granny, it doesn't hurt at all, please don't be angry."

Granny Zhao, with a stern face, went back to her room to get some medicinal oil and vigorously massaged Tian Sisi to disperse the bruising. Tian Sisi cried incessantly from the pain, which was much worse than the slaps given by Zhu Qingping earlier. Granny Zhao massaged for a while before stopping, and seeing Tian Sisi's tearful appearance, she couldn't help but laugh, calling her a delicate doll who couldn't handle pain.

After the three children went to bed, Granny Zhao repeated what Donghua had said again. Tian Manjin listened and was so angry that his eyebrows shot up. He wished he could rush to his uncle's house right now and scold his niece-in-law. He had never wanted to lay a finger on Ah Nan since she was small, but she dared to hit Ah Nan with such force that she caused bruises—outrageous!

Zhu Aiqing felt even worse. This niece-in-law was from the same village as her, and usually, out of kinship, she had looked after Zhu Qingping a lot. But she never expected that her care would result in raising an ungrateful wolf who would dare to hit her daughter. Well, she decided she would not care about her anymore.

Old Man also felt uncomfortable. He frowned because although Zhu Qingping was technically his granddaughter-in-law, there was still a generational gap, and it wasn't easy for him to intervene. He would have to speak to Bajin tomorrow—the men also needed to manage their households. If the younger generation was misbehaving, it was the elder's duty to teach them better.

Zhu Qingping had no idea what kind of loss her slap would bring her. At this moment, she was undergoing the most severe punishment since she had married into the Tian Family.

After Tian Sisi and the others left, Li Yuedi instructed the younger kids to go to bed. Zhu Qingping also thought about sneaking off with Niu Niu, but Li Yuedi specifically called her to stay, asking the older daughter-in-law, Ma Zhaodi, to take the grandson to sleep. Zhu Qingping sensed trouble and obediently stayed, as Li Yuedi coldly stared at her, causing Zhu Qingping to hang her head lower and lower.

"Jinhua's wife, you've been throwing your weight around more and more, huh? Niu Niu wants to eat sunflower seeds, but you just keep eating without stopping while assigning Ah Nan to do chores. And you even ended up hitting her; what right do you have to hit Ah Nan? Do you think just because you gave birth to the Tian Family's fourth-generation eldest grandson that you are something special? I'm telling you, Zhu Qingping, our Tian Family has no such rule. Bearing children is your duty. If you think you can use that to throw your weight around, then you better roll back to your Zhu family quickly. The Tian Family can't afford to keep a daughter-in-law like you."

Li Yuedi went on a tirade, berating Zhu Qingping harshly. Bajin then shouted at Tian Jinhua: "Have you lost all semblance of manhood? Can't even control the woman in your house? Do you need a woman to sit on your neck and crap to feel comfortable?"

Tian Jinhua's temperament, somewhat like his mother Ma Zhaodi, was milder, and that was indeed why Zhu Qingping had become ever more domineering. Now, scolded by his grandfather, he truly despised Zhu Qingping, but as he was used to being in a weaker position, he couldn't assert himself, leaving Bajin thoroughly disappointed in his grandson, finding him too weak.

Tian Mantu and Tian Manmu were also infuriated by their son (nephew). Tian Mantu, out of anger, gave Tian Jinhua a slap on the head, "How did I end up with such a useless son? Had I known you'd be so soft, I should have thrown you into the toilet back then."

Li Yuedi, still having a soft spot for her grandson, stopped Tian Mantu's slap. The old saying goes, a man's smallest son and oldest grandson are dearest to him. Even though she was also frustrated with Tian Jinhua's incompetence, after all, she raised her eldest grandson herself and still held affection for him, saying, "Alright, don't hit Jinhua. Jinhua is a grown father now, don't treat him like a child anymore."

Tian Mantu, who respected his mother's words thoroughly, withdrew his hand. Bajin eyed Zhu Qingping's expressions and saw only hatred, without a trace of remorse. He shook his head; alas, it was his mistake!

Originally, when arranging the marriage for Jinhua, considering he was the eldest grandson and had to uphold the family, and knowing Jinhua's doughy temperament, he thought of finding a strong-willed daughter-in-law to help Jinhua establish the household. Now, it turned out Zhu Qingping was strong, but mistakenly so! Far from supporting the family, she could even bring trouble; Bajin regretted this deeply.

"Jinhua's wife, gather your clothes; you'll return to your parental home first thing tomorrow morning. Let your own parents teach you how to behave as a daughter-in-law. Notify us once you've learned properly." After speaking, Bajin got up and went back to his room to sleep. PS: Thank you for your support, Old Yang bows in gratitude!
