I trade in both worlds

"Sister, do you think there's any result from Doctor He?" Xu Zhun's eyes flickered with anticipation and anxiety. He rubbed his hands from time to time, as if trying to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.

Hearing this, Xu Jin calmly comforted him, "Xiao Zhun, don't worry. Doctor He is highly respected. Since he has promised us, he will definitely do his best. We have to be patient. He will naturally inform us when there is news."

Xu Xu nodded at the side. In fact, she was also anxious. She didn't know what the Yang family would do next. This battle for the child might have just begun.

However, in front of her brothers, she had to stay calm and be their pillar of support.

Xu Zhun seemed to sense the worries in his sister and brother's hearts. He bit his lip and said in a deep voice: "Sister, brother, I don't think we can completely rely on Doctor He. We have to be prepared ourselves, just in case..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but his worry and uneasiness were evident in his words.

"I don't know what it will take for Yang Erzhu to give up." Xu Jin said worriedly.

Xu Xu sighed softly when she heard this. She knew that the twins' worries were not unreasonable.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, they must learn to protect themselves.

She said slowly, "I'm afraid Yang Erzhu won't give up. Now that he has come up with this idea, he will never give up easily."

When Xu Jin heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, if he dares to come, I will fight him to the death."

Xu Xu quickly shook his head, with a bit of blame and worry in his tone: "Xiao Jin, what nonsense are you talking about? You are jade and he is rubble. It's not worth risking your life for him."

"Besides, we are not without a way out. If things really don't work out, we can just move to another place. As long as our family can live together in peace, anywhere is home."

Xu Zhun also quickly agreed: "Sister is right. We can't act impulsively. The most important thing now is to protect ourselves and our families and wait for the right opportunity."

"Perhaps, Dr. He's alcohol experiment will be successful. Then we will have more bargaining chips to fight against the Yang family."

After listening to what her sister and brother said, Xu Jin's anger gradually subsided.

He fell silent, dejected, knowing that his impulsiveness just now was not wise.

However, he still felt powerless. For more than two months since he received the news, he could only passively wait for the other party's arrangements. They didn't even have the strength to resist.

In the end, you may have to leave your hometown and never be able to return to your roots.

This helplessness and frustration made him feel unprecedentedly depressed.

At this moment, Xu Jin suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination: "Sister, I want to go to the ancestral hall to copy a family tree."

Xu Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Why?"

Xu Jin took a deep breath and said slowly: "If we really go to the modern times, then we will no longer have a clan, and we will have no roots."

"The genealogy is a symbol of our Xu clan and a bond between us and our ancestors. I want to copy it down and bring it to the present day so that our descendants will know where their roots are."

"Go ahead." Xu Xu lowered his head and said softly, "Go tell Second Grandpa."

Xu Zhun also looked at his sister and brother with red eyes, and his heart was also filled with nostalgia and reluctance to leave his clan. They grew up in Xu Village, and more than 90% of the villagers in Xu Village were from their Xu clan.

Their relatives are here, their clansmen are here, their ancestral halls are here. Once they leave, they are like floating fallen leaves, having lost their roots.

Such clan culture is hard to find in modern times, and they don’t want to lose this precious heritage.

Xu Jin nodded, stood up and walked towards the clan leader's house, his steps were firm and powerful. This matter was a very meaningful thing for him, and it was also for the family, for future generations, and for the deep clan sentiment.

"I'll go too." Seeing this, Xu Zhun stood up eagerly and left with Xu Jin.

Watching the twins walking away, Xu Xu fell into deep self-blame.

The gate of the clan leader's house was half-open. Xu Jin pushed it open quietly. The yard was quiet with only a few chickens pecking at their food leisurely.

"Second Grandpa, are you home?" Xu Jin's voice echoed in the yard.

The Second Mistress saw Xu Jin and Xu Zhun standing in the yard through the window of the main room.

She showed a kind smile on her face and quickly greeted, "I'm here, I'm here, come in."

The second grandmother was sitting in the main room sewing shoe soles. She saw Xu Jin and Xu Zhun through the window and a kind smile appeared on her face.

"I'm here, I'm here, come in quickly." Second Grandma shouted in the main room.

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun responded by walking into the main hall, bowing and greeting with smooth movements: "Grandpa, Second Grandma."

Second Grandma put down the work in her hands, stood up and asked them to sit on the kang.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Zhun, come and sit on the kang. It's so cold, don't catch a cold." Her tone was full of concern.

The patriarch looked up at them and asked, "What's the matter with you coming here?"

Xu Jin glanced at Xu Zhun, and the two exchanged glances. Then Xu Jin said, "Second Grandfather, I want to copy a family tree."

The clan leader was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Why do you suddenly want to copy the family tree?"

There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in his tone.

Xu Jin took a deep breath and told the clan leader everything about what happened when Yang Laosan came to their house a few days ago.

"Yang Laosan came to our house a few days ago, and they... they still wanted Weiwei back." When she said this, her tone couldn't help but be filled with a bit of anger and helplessness.

After hearing this, the patriarch's expression instantly turned serious.

"Why didn't you tell me they were coming?" There was some blame in his tone, but more of it was dissatisfaction with the Yang family.

Xu Jin explained: "We were all in the clan school at the time, and my sister was the only one at home. There was no one to run errands for her."

The patriarch nodded to show his understanding, but the frown on his brow deepened.

He asked anxiously: "What did they say? Did they mention any conditions?"

Xu Jin's eyes dimmed, and he whispered, "They still want Weiwei back, and their attitude is very firm. However, they didn't mention Tiantian at all, as if she never existed."

At first he was worried that Xu Tiantian would be upset because of this, but after observing her for a few days he found that Xu Tiantian was careless, as if she didn't know that Yang Erzhu was her father.

So the letter that had been hanging for a few days was finally put down.

Second Mistress was listening to this and she slapped her thigh in anger. She said indignantly, "The Yang family is such a scoundrel. How can they bully others like this?"
