“I’m Annie’s daughter-in-law, Enrico’s wife.” Paige said word for word, holding the jade tablet out again.
At those words, all the older men in the field changed their faces, and they looked at each other as they all slowly stood up and headed this way.
The rest of the younger and younger ones looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
Paige stood there, watching their expressions.
Armen’s surprise didn’t last as long as Francine’s as he held out his hand toward her, “Could you show me the jade tablet?”
“This is something precious to me, please don’t touch it.”
Paige said seriously, but still passed the jade tablet in her hand closer so he could get a better look at it.
It was also a relic of Enrico’s mother and she wanted to keep it safe.
But Armen misunderstood something, he lowered his head and looked at the jade token in her hand seriously, after confirming that it was real, he nodded and said, “I know, the people who go out of the the Davis family no longer belong here, and if you want to get in again, you can only rely on the token, but she didn’t tell you that this token can only be used once, and today when you come, the Davis family is going to take it back.”
“…”
Paige hadn’t thought of that, and she couldn’t ask anyone for confirmation, she couldn’t even look back at Enrico.
After thinking about it, all she could say was, “No, I can stop coming into this place, but anything that belongs to Annie has to be left with my husband.”
Hubby.
Enrico stood back with his head bowed, depressed by the smell of fish from the hat on his head, when he heard this cry, he was instantly refreshed.
At that, Armen frowned but did not make things difficult, saying, “Then come with me to pay your respects to the elders, do you have any electronic devices with you? These are not allowed into the Davis family.”
Electronic devices.
Did two camera bugs count?
“No.” Paige said.
“Okay, my father and Annie are cousins, so I should call her an aunt by the count.”
Armen reported his relationship, and his eyes fell back to Enrico standing behind him, who looked him up and down, smelling the fishy odor, and asked, “Is this Uncle Alonso?”
“Yes, he stays at the lake all year round, Armen young master you don’t go out, you haven’t seen it, and today it’s only because this young lady is here that he’s willing to come in.” Francine stood aside and said with emotion.
“Uncle Alonso.” Armen nodded respectfully towards Enrico.
“Uh-huh.” Enrico answered rudely as he stood back.
“Come in with me.” This time it became Armen leading the way.
In the uncertainty of the situation, Paige could only respond to the situation by following Armen inside in silence.
The group of people working in the fields all clapped their hands and followed behind, whispering something.
After leaving the fields, passing two ponds, and passing through a curving wooded landscape, an old and exquisite courtyard house appeared in front of them.
The courtyards on either side were planted with flowers, fruits and vegetables, and were beautifully tended.
“This is a five-entry courtyard, the main house of THE Davis family.”
Armen introduced as he led Paige and Enrico inside, and just as they stepped through the front door into the second gate, there was another sound of footsteps behind them.
Paige turned around to see another group of people carrying hoes and buckets of ground coming in from outside, mostly young faces, led by two middle-aged men and three middle-aged women.
From the color of the eye pupils, she could tell if the other party was of THE Davis family bloodline.
A middle-aged woman with black eyes came over and curiously surveyed Paige, taking a step next to Armen, “Armen, the subordinate came over to call us, this is Annie’s daughter-in-law?”
“Yes, mother.” Armen nods, “I was just about to take her to see her aunt.”
“Well, come on.”
The middle-aged woman nodded faintly at Paige, polite but without a smile, and with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
The line was getting bigger.
A whole bunch of people followed behind in a swarm.
Seeing her is so rare, if you know Enrico this the Davis family bloodline also came, it is estimated that this the Davis family critters have to come to see a lively.
All the way into the third gate, the huge yard was cleaned up very well, even the tiles were spotless.
Two large trees are planted in the yard, and there is a fish pond.
Beside the fish pond, a white-haired old lady was sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun with her eyes closed, on the side there was an old woman slightly younger than her who was feeding the fish, seeing them walk in, with a shocked look on her face.
Armen stepped forward and respectfully whispered, “Auntie, Aunt Annie’s daughter-in-law has come to visit.”
“Who?”
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old lady opened her eyes all of a sudden, it was a double gray pupil, the old lady was obviously extremely well-fed, hale and hearty, all rich, her skin was very white, so white that the old age spots were particularly obvious.
“Aunt Annie’s daughter-in-law is here with a token.” Armen said glancing back at Paige.
Paige walked forward and bowed her head respectfully to the white haired old lady, “Hello old lady, I’m Paige.”
“Heh.” The old lady sneered and looked at Paige with eyes full of mischief, “That girl Annie has always been a trickster, what did she want you to do again?”
Hearing this, Paige was stunned and faintly said, “Old madam, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
The old lady snorted coldly.
Armen stood aside and explained, “You may not know very well, the Davis family has rules, leaving this place is no longer a person of the Davis family, when Aunt Annie left, the old man couldn’t bear to part with her, giving her tokens, granting her a chance to repent.”
“…”
Paige listens quietly.
“I heard the elders of the family say, about thirty years ago like, Aunt Annie came back once, kneeling outside the door, said, sought the cure for THE Davis familyAS schizophrenia gene, the family believed, by her to pick up a sick aunt and grandmother for treatment, but as a result, the person never returned. ”
Armen paused, with a complicated frown, “So we all thought that Aunt Annie wouldn’t be able to use the jade tablet again.”
The meaning of these words was that the Davis family thought that Annie had lied to the Davis family and definitely had no face to come back.
“She didn’t lie to you all, she did think she had found a cure, but in the end it failed.” Paige said softly.
She didn’t immediately say that she and Enrico had found a cure for the AS schizophrenia gene, this had come anyway, there was no rush, look at the Davis family before saying anything.
“Heh, this girl just won’t accept her fate.”
The white-haired old lady snorted coldly and looked at her, “What, she doesn’t dare to come back and let you, her junior, come over to ask for scolding? It seems like your mother-in-law-daughter-in-law relationship isn’t very good.”
“…”
Sure enough, the Davis family doesn’t know it yet.
Paige glanced at the old lady, then turned her head to look at the large group of people around her, and was silent for a moment before saying, “Mother she … has passed away for twenty nine years.”
When the words fell, the whole room was as silent as death.
The grimness on the old lady’s face suddenly froze on her face, and she looked at her dumbfounded, the sarcasm in her eyes was all gone, only dullness remained, “You, what did you say?”
“The day my mother gave birth, she was irritated and became ill …”
Paige stood in the courtyard, the words were not yet finished, the old lady suddenly slapped the armrest of the rocking chair, glaring behind her with a stern voice, “Uncle Alonso! Why didn’t you say anything?”
