The one-eyed shopkeeper took out a piece of kraft paper from his pocket with trembling hands.
This piece of kraft paper seemed to be quite old.
He unfolded it in front of Jian Yiling and said, "Originally, I wasn't sure if I should come to you for help. However, I recently found out that Mrs. Zhai's grandmother was from the Xie family. As a result, I didn't hesitate anymore."
He had been looking for people who might be able to decipher the secret recorded on this piece of kraft paper.
Every time he met a suitable person, he would register them.
In addition to Jian Yiling, he had also screened out other people.
It wasn't until recently that he found out Grandma Jian's identity that the one-eyed shopkeeper decided to look for Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling frowned as she looked at the things on the kraft paper.
The things recorded on the kraft paper were related to the Xie family.
Jian Yiling turned her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng. Zhai Yunsheng helped Jian Yiling make a decision, "Why don't the two of you go in and sit down? Grandma Jian is at my house right now. There are some things that might be more appropriate to discuss with her."
Grandma Jian went downstairs and saw the one-eyed man.
"Miss Xie."
When the one-eyed man saw Grandma Jian, he knelt down.
Grandma Jian hurriedly stopped him, "Get up! What era is this? Kneeling isn't popular anymore!"
"The rules passed down by our ancestors cannot be broken. The collateral descendants must swear to protect the main family."
The one-eyed man said.
Grandma Jian frowned for a moment before she carefully looked at the one-eyed man.
"Are you … A collateral descendant of the Xie family?"
"My father is Xie Guofeng."
"Ah …" Grandma Jian's face was filled with surprise. She stared at the one-eyed man for a long time.
"Old woman, who is he talking about?"
Grandpa Jian asked. The Xie family had a complicated background. He and Grandma Jian had been married for so many years. However, they didn't know much about the Xie family.
"Xie Guofeng is my cousin," Grandma Jian sighed. "He's the son of my third uncle. He's the same generation as me. If he's Xie Guofeng's son, then according to seniority, he should call me aunt. "
Although he wasn't very close to Grandma Jian, he was still part of the same family.
"I wouldn't dare. You're part of the main family. I'm a collateral descendant. There's a difference in seniority," the one-eyed man replied.
"Why did you come to me?" Grandma Jian asked in confusion.
"Because of this," the one-eyed man said as he handed the kraft paper to Grandma Jian.
As soon as Grandma Jian saw the kraft paper, the expression on her face changed.
"What's wrong with you, old woman? Can you not be so jumpy? It's not like you don't know that you're in poor health. Xiao Guai saved you from a stroke two years ago! "
Although Grandpa Jian was scolding Grandma Jian, he was actually feeling sorry for her. He was afraid that something bad would happen to her if she got agitated.
"It's nothing. It's nothing. I just … I just remembered something from the past," Grandma Jian replied. Her eyes seemed to be looking into the distance.
She had seen this piece of vellum before. A long time ago, she had seen it in her grandfather's hand.
At that time, she was the only legitimate daughter in the family and her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, so she often went to her grandfather's study.
At that time, the outside world was in turmoil, and many of his family members were doing business in Merica.
After thinking for a while, Grandma Jian asked the one-eyed man, "So, the kraft paper was given to you."
"To be exact, it was given to my father. My father entrusted it to me before he died. I've been looking for someone who can unlock this secret."
The one-eyed man obeyed his father's dying wish.
Even though the Xie family had disappeared for so many years.
