Chapter 1661
Zheng Ling continued to probe calmly: "Since grandma has had several marriages, do you think she has any children or grandchildren?"
The old woman's face suddenly turned gloomy, "Yes. I gave birth to children for every husband, and used the children to exchange for my freedom."
When the old lady described her thrilling first half of life, her tone was very calm. However, it stirred up a storm in Zheng Ling's heart.
"Exchanging children for freedom? Could it be that your husband would imprison you?" Zheng Ling found it unbelievable, because she thought Mr. Zhan was a very reasonable old man.
The old woman shook her head and smiled bitterly, "They all love me, so naturally they won't imprison my body to make me unhappy. But they don't allow me to do the things I like, which is worse than death for me. I gave birth to their children,
It becomes their spiritual sustenance. In this way, I can leave with more peace of mind."
Zheng Ling suddenly held the old lady's hand and asked softly, "Then do you miss them?"
The old lady thought seriously, "It is definitely a lie to say that I don't want to, but as long as I think about the huge disaster I will bring to them, I know that it is useless to think about them, because I can't see them in this life. Besides...
...In their minds, I should have been dead for many years."
Zheng Ling suddenly realized that what the grandma in front of her liked to do would cause catastrophe. Her husbands forbade her from appearing in public to study her favorite medical career, just for the sake of the safety of the family.
Zheng Ling cannot judge the right and wrong of the old lady. She may not be a good wife or a good mother, but she is loyal to her career, which is also a commendable persistence.
Zheng Ling said: "Grandma, times are different now. The style of dominance half a century ago has long been eliminated by society. Today is a peaceful era and a legal society. Technology is changing with each passing day. Anyone can apply for technology developed by others.
Patents, no longer have to worry about being snatched away by bandits..."
The old lady seemed to have heard a fantasy and said excitedly, "Honey, what did you hear from this little girl? Has the world outside really changed?"
Zheng Ling has now confirmed that this old lady is the rumored medical genius Mr. Boye.
However, she still had doubts in her heart, how did Grandma Boye escape from the imperial capital? And what role did her mother-in-law Yu Qianqian play in it?
The old lady came back to her senses and felt that Zheng Ling's remarks meant something. She stared at Zheng Ling in horror and said in disbelief: "Do you really know our identities?"
Zheng Ling didn't expect them to be so defensive. She felt that she was self-defeating and said with some shame, "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I won't expose your identities, I swear."
She had been chased for most of her life and lived in hiding. The two people living in the gap were almost isolated from the outside world. Now that they heard about the great system of contemporary society, both of them found it hard to believe.
But soon, the old man suddenly realized something. His elegant and funny face suddenly turned gloomy, and he roared at Zheng Ling, "Why are you telling us this? Do you know our identities? You said,
Why are you following us?"
Zheng Ling couldn't laugh or cry. Zhan Hanjue had met them once. Could it be that she couldn't tell that Zhan Hanjue looked very similar to her?
"Don't you know who we are?" Zheng Ling asked.
The grandpa and grandma looked at Zheng Ling suspiciously, and the grandma asked, "How do you know my identity?"
The old woman's eyes widened in shock, and then she said to herself, "Don't be so pretentious. I am smart in the laboratory, but I am an idiot when I leave the laboratory."
"Little girl, who are you?" the old man asked curiously.
Zhengling then said eloquently, "I am Yan Zhengling, the granddaughter of the Yan family in Yancheng..."
