Chapter 9: Can't Take My Little Turtle
After talking to Zi Ling, I learned that the treasure map was only one of them, and that if you want to find the things recorded in the treasure map, you have to follow the prompts on the treasure map to find a few things...... You'll first have to find an ancient ring, and then use it as a guide to find the next item......
Ye Molan pulled her hair and felt depressed, how did the brains of the ancients grow? What did the broken fairy grass make so complicated? Damn curiosity!
I'm circling around a big tree, and I'm thinking about all sorts of things......
The five cousins couldn't help but surround Ye Molan, among them, Cousin Lizhu is the third daughter born to the eldest daughter of Ye Molan's grandparents, in order of everyone, she is the fourth aunt, and she is actually Ye Molan's eldest aunt. This fourth aunt has been living with her grandparents and is the housekeeper of her grandparents, and arranging for Ye Molan to live in a haunted house must also be specially taken care of by this aunt. It stands to reason that Lizhu's cousin is Ye Molan's sister who is very close to each other...... But Lizhu has loved to snatch Ye Molan's things since she was a child...... I have been robbed of the objects on my body many times by Lizhu before, as long as it is something that Lizhu likes, even if it is the underwear that Ye Molan wears on her body, she will be robbed if she wants to...... I don't know the rest of the cousins well, so I don't know who they are? Because the cousins are not surnamed Ye, they are not called according to the order of the Ye family, and it is not easy to remember who is who when there are many people......
Lizhu is looking at the little turtle with seeds hanging around Ye Molan's neck this time...... Ye Molan will not give her if she dies...... So it was very miserable to be robbed by the five of them and fell to the ground...... After her hands and feet were restrained, she desperately wanted to keep the little turtle from being robbed by Lizhu, Ye Molan bit her neck with her teeth and grabbed the little turtle's hand...... Because her hair was grabbed and pulled, and her face was beaten, the little turtle was still snatched by Livzon......
Crying out in disgust...... For the first time, I hated my incompetence so much, so sad...... These people are more terrible than ghosts...... Ye Molan couldn't do anything...... watched as Lizhu snatched the little turtle and hung it around her neck...... I don't know if I was beaten by them or if my heart was churning out? Ye Molan spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at Lizhu with anger in her eyes...... Why? Because I was afraid that my parents would be angry and afraid that my parents would be unhappy, I had to be angry with these people from an early age? I didn't care about those things before...... But I can't let go of this little turtle...... Ye Molan secretly raised her energy source, because she was angry......
The eleventh cousin appeared in front of him, suddenly grabbed Lizhu and said fiercely: "Return the turtle you robbed to Ye Molan!"
Lizhu shouted loudly: "This is my business with Ye Molan, it's none of my business with Eleventh Cousin, you let it go......"
The eleventh cousin narrowed his eyes and glared at Lizhu angrily: "This is the Ye family! It's not your turn to be a foreigner with a surname who is rampant, I'll say it again and return the turtle you robbed to Ye Molan!"
Lizhu was a little scared and aggrieved, but she always said domineeringly: "Hmph! This is my home! I want whatever I want!"
The eleventh cousin stopped talking nonsense with Lizhu, grabbed Lizhu, and snatched back the little turtle that was already on Livzon's neck......
Ye Molan was still curled up on the ground, her body was covered in dust and mud, her skin was covered with bruises and scratches, her face was red and swollen mixed with tears and hair, and her hair was torn to a mess...... Retrieved my baby turtle, I buried my head deep in my arms...... I was so miserable that I didn't want to see a ray of sunshine again...... If the eleventh cousin hadn't appeared, I think I had a murderous intent on Lizhu just now! I don't care about anything else, except that I can't snatch my little turtle, this is my bottom line, the bottom line that can't be touched......
My eleventh cousin helped me to the outdoor faucet in the garden, which was supposed to be connected to the hose for watering the flower beds. Washing the dust and dirt from all over his body......
Eleventh cousin: "Did you hurt your bones and internal organs? Did you have any pain?" Let's go to the doctor!"
Ye Molan shook her head: "No, I'm fine! Thank you cousin for helping me get the little turtle back!"
Cousin Eleven: "Looks like this turtle is important to you......"
Ye Molan: "Well, it's my favorite thing!"
Eleventh cousin: "I can't figure it out, Mo Lan, you are very smart, but why are you always bullied?"
Ye Molan: "A fool doesn't want anything, he can't think of the people he cares about, his words and deeds are naturally as he likes, and he can naturally live a domineering life!" Only people who think a lot have more scruples, and they will be cautious, so they will naturally appear very weak......"
Eleventh cousin: "Haha!
Ye Molan: "Eleventh cousin, you came back to stay with my grandparents this time, do you want to talk to them about something?"
Eleventh cousin: "Mo Lan, you are really smart!"
Ye Molan: "Mo Lan is very grateful to my eleventh cousin for helping me retrieve my little turtle, can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help with something......
Eleventh cousin: "There is a project with considerable prospects in the future, but at present, it cannot be recognized by these board members of the Ye family, so it can only be supported one by one......"
The grandfather of the Ye family was born to a grandfather and a maid who had a room, so the grandfather was the least status one in the grandfather's generation...... The second grandfather is Ye Molan's own grandfather, born to his grandfather and grandmother, the eldest son of the lineage, but the son and grandchildren did not produce a capable person, and now they belong to the most declining house...... The third grandfather and the second grandfather were born to the same mother, and the third grandfather's daughter is strong and the nephew is strong, but the discerning people know that the industry is ...... The fourth grandfather was born to a grandfather and an aunt's wife, the fourth grandfather is a person engaged in scientific research, and he is not very involved in things, and the children and grandchildren of the fourth grandfather are also engaged in scientific research, and they are also very prosperous, and their children and grandchildren are very capable...... The fifth grandfather was born to a grandfather and an aunt's wife, an authentic businessman, the grandfather took the fifth grandfather to develop overseas when he was alive, so the sons and grandchildren of the fifth grandfather have many business talents, and the fifth grandfather returned to his hometown to live in his hometown, and the second son of the fifth grandfather is the father of the eleventh cousin, because he is now the largest financial pillar in the entire Ye family, so he is now the head of the Ye family. To put it bluntly, this is the richest man, so he became the head of the family! He has a son and a daughter, and his son is eleven cousins...... The sixth grandfather was also born to his aunt's wife, and most of his children and grandchildren joined the army and served in the army...... The seventh grandfather was also born to his aunt's wife, developed overseas, used to be in politics in a country with many overseas Chinese, and his children and grandchildren also had more talents, and the thirteenth aunt was a person in this vein...... The eighth grandfather was also born to his aunt's wife, and his children and grandchildren are in politics...... Born to the ninth grandfather and aunt, the ninth grandfather gave birth to 8 daughters without sons, and the 8 daughters gave birth to many daughters without sons...... Grandpa Ten is a mysterious figure, and he doesn't know what Grandpa Shi's family manages in the Ye family? Anyway, everyone is a little afraid of the people in his family, and their children and grandchildren don't seem to be easy to mess with! Anyway, Ye Molan can hide as far as he can...... This is not yet the list of those aunts and grandmothers, and there are 7-8 aunts and grandmothers, and the specific Ye Molan is not clear...... (Too many relatives) Just talking about it so simply, it is enough to prove that the people of this big family are thriving! If you want to say that grandpa is really a group of wives and concubines! There are many children and grandchildren! Not many people can compare......
Ye Molan smiled lightly: "It's very simple to convince my grandparents, grandpa doesn't care much and just likes to raise birds, just give him a bird...... Grandma loves to meddle in everything, likes to say some inconsequential words, these words can be automatically blocked, you have to take her words seriously, you don't understand what she wants at all? In fact, grandma's heart is full of her daughter and son-in-law, she knows her own daughter best, there is no one who has the ability, and the husband she is looking for is dependent on the woman's family, so she is reluctant to let her daughter suffer, and always wants to give them more wealth. My grandmother feels sorry for her daughter and doesn't pay much attention to her son, because her son is stupid and doesn't please her. In fact, my grandmother is fake smart, in fact, her IQ is very low, she seems to be calculating, she calculates all kinds of superficial things, and she can't see the greater good, in fact, she herself has been deceived stupidly all her life, and she is still willing to be deceived...... That's why our vein is finally broken...... She only needs to arrange her son-in-law to those positions that look like they have a head and a face, of course, they can't be reused, they are all incompetent, they can't be reused, and they are easy to raise moths, so the arrangement of these positions must be considered!"
Brother Eleven: "No, is it? It's that simple, I thought to convince them that we had to explain the key factors of the project's investment, such as risk, profit, and sustainability...... This... But no matter how much I explain it to them, Grandma Two-Grandma is always rambling...... No wonder? I wondered, they didn't care about profit, they didn't care about profit, it wasn't a businessman's way of doing business, it was a surprise......
Ye Molan: "My grandparents are not businessmen in the first place, and they don't know anything about business at all! What they care about is what they care about...... Eleventh cousin, the focus of your negotiation with others is to grasp the psychology of the other party, and understand their needs in order to measure the bargaining chips in the negotiation!"
Eleventh cousin: "Yes, why did I ignore this!, cousin, let's go, come with me to talk to Grandma Er-Grandma again...... By the way, I'll make a call and ask the assistant to pick a bird......"
Ye Molan: "Cousin, don't take me along, I offended Lizhu just now, maybe she has already sued...... Livzon grew up with her grandmother, who doted on her...... It's not good for you to pull me with you......"
Eleventh cousin: "I'm going to take you along to talk! Didn't Mo Lan say that only a truly strong man can achieve something? Insisting on being oneself means firming one's aspirations and not changing! Sticking to one's own thoughts means having a tenacious will and a sense of independence! In order to achieve the goal! Don't be fooled and don't be afraid of difficulties...... Even if you retreat, you are preparing to move forward...... I think you'll understand, Molan...... And... Cousin left alone, Mo Lan is not afraid that the turtle will be robbed again?"
Ye Molan: "Okay! so that my little turtle doesn't get robbed......"
Grandma sat on a wooden chair by the fish pond, drinking morning tea, and next to her sat the fourth aunt, Livzon, and a few cousins, as if they were patting on the back...... Because you can see grandma smiling from afar, which is also very good, and making the old man happy is also a sign of filial piety.
But as soon as she saw Ye Molan, an unlikable person, appear, her grandmother's face suddenly collapsed......
Grandma: "Mo Lan, how do you do your sister? You are not too young, do you know how to take care of your sister? Lizhu just wants a turtle, not only did you not give it to her, but you made her cry...... How did your parents educate you?
Fourth aunt: "You sister really don't know what's going on? Other people who are sisters are very good to their sisters, and your sister doesn't have the ability to buy some decent gifts for your sister...... It's rare that Lizhu has taken a fancy to a turtle that you have worn before, and you don't give it to her...... What kind of sister? Not generous at all! Not at all with the grace of a lady! No wonder nothing has been accomplished! I don't even bother to talk about you nonsense...... You're going to be a shame on our family...... Give your turtle to Livzon, so as not to make your grandmother angry."
Ye Molan: "This is my favorite, I won't give it away! If Lizhu likes turtles, next time I'll buy a new one for her......"
Livzon: "I just want you to wear this one, not anything else!"
Grandma: "Mo Lan, do you hear me? It's just a turtle, why don't you ask grandma to talk to you a few times?"
Eleventh cousin: "Ahem! Two-Grandma, Fourth Aunt, Lizhu! I don't know if I've ever heard a word? A gentleman doesn't take people's favors! Just now I saw these five younger sisters beating Mo Lan in order to rob Mo Lan's sister's tortoise! It's the first time I've heard that I like other people's things can be snatched like this! A jade turtle is not a very valuable thing, but it is Mo Lan's sister's favorite...... It is only natural that Mo Lan will not give it! Fourth Aunt Isn't she too tight on money lately and has to rob people of things? I have heard that Fourth Aunt owes a lot of gambling debts to people abroad! If Fourth Aunt is really in difficulty, she can talk to my nephew, who is in need of help in the recent expansion of his business in Eastern Europe, and can arrange for Fourth Uncle to work in a new company with a good salary!"
Fourth Aunt: "Eleventh nephew, do you have an attitude towards your elders? Second, grandma is still here? You actually use such an attitude to talk to your elders, don't think that being rich is great, hum!"
Eleventh cousin: "If the fourth aunt looks down on money, she will treat her as a nephew and say nothing......"
Grandma: "cough cough cough ~ Eleventh grandson, your fourth uncle is not young, arrange the position as easy as possible, and there is a high salary, how to say that he is also your elder, the arrangement is not good, and you will not have face at that time, isn't ......"
Eleventh cousin: "Rest assured, the second grandma will definitely be arranged to your satisfaction! The new company is short of manpower, and it is more reassuring to arrange for your own family to manage the company's grandchildren! Not only the fourth uncle can come, but several other uncles can also be arranged! Guaranteed generous treatment! It's just that the eleventh grandchild also needs the second grandma to say a few words to the other elders, if everyone disagrees? This new company can't be started, isn't it ......?"
Grandma: "Grandma will definitely support you!" After a while, Grandma will invite everyone to a party, and when the time comes, Grandma will help you persuade the other elders to agree to this...... Eleventh grandson, you have to count when you speak!"
Eleventh cousin: "When the time comes, I will guarantee that the second-grandmother is satisfied!"
Lizhu: "Grandma, Ye Molan hasn't given me the turtle yet"
Eleventh cousin: "Cousin Lizhu, do you want to go back to your Zhang family and ask for a turtle? Or do you want a turtle in the Ye family? You have found the wrong person to ask for a turtle in the Ye family, you should ask me! Anyway, this is the Ye family, Ye Molan's surname is Ye, there is no reason for a Ye family member in the Ye family's family to be robbed of things by the people of the Zhang family! If this is said, all the Ye family members will feel shameless......
Grandma: "Lizhu is good! What are the good things that others have worn, we are not rare! Grandma will take you to buy turtles tomorrow, and Livzon will buy as many grandma as she wants!"
......
Ye Molan was depressed...... People can't compare with others, and I really can't live compared with each other...... My grandmother didn't spend less money on my family, and my dad bought her whatever she wanted...... Grandma opened her mouth to help her aunt and uncle borrow money, and she never had to pay it back...... There was an aunt who took out loans to buy things several times, and my grandmother asked my dad to be a guarantor, but after this aunt did not repay the bank loan, the bank still deducted it from my dad's salary every month, because my dad was the guarantor. Dad's salary is very limited, not a bottomless pit, Ye Molan has been working summer jobs since high school to earn her own entrepreneurial capital, and later half of Ye Molan's income from doing business was used by her father to spend it on this grandmother...... But the grandmother was at ease, because she thought it was her son who should satisfy her. Even I bought gifts for this group of people...... So why is that? Why did they do this to me? The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant...... Ye Molan's reputation as a waste is also given by this group of people! Why is it waste? Because it can never satisfy the desires and desires of this group of people...... They said that Ye Molan's inability was a waste, but if she talked too much, her father listened too much, and she was deeply hypnotized, so once she couldn't satisfy this group of people, her father also felt that her daughter was incompetent...... In my father's eyes, other people's children are so capable! For example, you see how capable the eleventh cousin is!
Grandpa was satisfied with getting the bird he liked...... At lunch, Grandpa also promised to support this eleventh cousin!
The eleventh cousin took the opportunity to say: "Second grandfather, the eleventh grandson has a request, I want to take Ye Molan to Europe, on the one hand, I can have more helpers, and on the other hand, I can teach Ye Molan to do business......"
Grandpa: "No! Why do you want to take Ye Molan with you? She doesn't know anything!"
Eleventh cousin: "So I said I'll teach her! Second grandfather, you think, eleventh grandson doesn't know whether to say it or not, look at the second grandfather, isn't it sitting and eating empty now?
Grandma suddenly interjected: "Aren't there still so many people, don't you have to take Mo Lan there, Mo Lan won't know anything, won't she make trouble for you if she wants to go with her...... Moreover, Mo Lan still has a marriage to do."
Eleventh cousin: "Second grandfather and second grandmother, I only take people from the Ye family! Who else in your house is surnamed Ye?"
Grandpa: "This ...... So, it's really only Mo Lan! What's going on?"
Eleventh cousin: "Second grandfather, don't you have figured it out yet?" So please rest assured that Second Grandpa will hand over Sister Mo Lan to Eleventh Grandchild, and I will definitely discipline her well! I will not let Second Grandpa down! Since I am a cousin, if Mo Lan is not sensible in the future, I will beat and scold when I should be beaten! Absolutely strict!"
Ye Molan's head is full of black lines...... I've been moldy for eight lifetimes!
Grandpa slapped his forehead: "My brain! I'm really confused...... Why did I forget that Mo Lan was actually my only granddaughter! If I don't marry, I won't marry! Why should I marry a fool...... I said, Old Lady Zhou, why don't you remind me! Are you old and confused?"
Grandma: "Ahem, ahem, this ...... Isn't this to help your three brothers!And I think this marriage is pretty good! That boy is very handsome, and he is a good match for Mo Lan...... Family background is also good...... Mo Lan doesn't know anything, he can marry the son of the Wang family, how can he be considered high, why is it not good? I think it's very good!"
Eleventh cousin: "Second grandfather, I'm going to tell Lizhu about a good marriage...... This marriage is very important, and when there are eyebrows, let all the elders discuss it together next time...... For our Ye family, this is a big deal! Ye Molan and that bastard thing are still pushed! It's really not cost-effective! The third grandfather needs a loan, I'll help him solve it!"
Grandpa: "That's right!"
Grandma: "But Mo Lan is 29 years old this year, can she still marry if she doesn't marry?" Eleventh Sun, do you have to give our Mo Lan to your friend named Yang What? What are you thinking? Two-Grandma doesn't think that Eleven Sun is a person who makes a loss-making business?"
Eleventh cousin: "The second grandmother is wise! The eleventh grandson never does a loss-making business! So Ye Molan doesn't have to marry a bastard, and she doesn't have to marry Yang Sen! The eleventh grandson only takes Molan's sister to learn to do business! In the future, the second grandmother will wait to enjoy your granddaughter's blessings......"
Grandma: "Forget it, I'm still waiting to enjoy the blessings of my good Lizhu granddaughter......
Grandpa: "Old woman Zhou, Lizhu's surname is Zhang! You are less than me, Lizhu is her granddaughter! I thought it was really from my Ye family......"
Fourth aunt: "Dad, what are you talking about? You can't be partial! Lizhu grew up with your second elder! Our Lizhu is also surnamed Ye, Ye Lizhu!
......
The only thing to be thankful for is that Ye Molan's little turtle finally survived...... The rest has nothing to do with me!
