Chapter 77 77 The guard is getting more and more serious

Ji Yumo was indeed laid off. The factory's performance was already poor, and he often took leave to find Song Zhenzhen. So when the iron factory had a layoff target, he was directly on the list.

After hearing the exact news from the ironworks, Chen Guilan nearly fainted. She leaned against the wall to hold herself back, and asked again, "When did this happen?"

"Last week." The person who spoke looked at Chen Guilan with sympathy. Everyone in the iron factory knew why Ji Yumo was laid off. For a woman, his wife and children left him, and now he even lost his job. No one knew what magic that woman had. If this had happened more than ten years ago, Ji Yumo would have been put in jail. This was a problem of work style.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Even though the family had already lost face this year, Chen Guilan felt this awkward for the first time. The thought that Ye Qiuju was the culprit filled her with hatred. It was all because of this woman. If it weren't for her, their family would still be the envy of everyone at the ironworks. Because of her, the second son had become increasingly distant from them, and the third son's family had even broken up. Such a troublemaker shouldn't have come to the city.

Seeing Chen Guilan knocking on the door angrily, Ji Yushu was puzzled: "Mom, why are you here?"

"Where is your wife?" Chen Guilan suppressed the anger in her heart.

"She's lying in there, Mom. I'll need you to take care of Qiuju when she's in confinement." This was also the reason why Ji Yushu was willing to continue interacting with them this time. In addition to the filial piety in his heart, the more important thing was Ye Qiuju's confinement issue. He had no experience in that, so only Chen Guilan could take care of her.

Hearing him mention the confinement period, Chen Guilan calmed down and asked, "Have you gone to the hospital to check? Is the baby in her belly a boy or a girl?"

"I checked, it's my son." When talking about his son, Ji Yushu couldn't stop smiling.

"Where did you check? Be careful and check twice more." Chen Guilan frowned. After all, there are cases of reversals.

"We're going to a private clinic, don't worry." Ji Yushu looked confident.

"Since you've seen it, forget it." Chen Guilan finally saw it clearly, and now the second brother's heart was also on this woman.

"By the way, Mom, what brought you here today?" Ji Yushu asked.

"Did you know that the third brother was laid off?" Chen Guilan stared at him after saying this, not missing any expression on his face.

"Laid off? When did that happen?" Ji Yushu looked surprised.

"I just found out about it today. I heard that they were looking for that bitch. I came here today just to ask Ye Qiuju if she knew the whereabouts of that woman?" Chen Guilan tried to calm herself down.

"I'm not sure. Wait for me to ask Qiuju." Ji Yushu hurriedly took her in to find Ye Qiuju.

After all, being older, pregnancy is no easier than when she was young. The noise coming from outside woke Ye Qiuju up from her light sleep. She rubbed her eyes and saw the person standing next to Ji Yushu. She slowly stood up and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Qiuju, do you know where your cousin is now?" Ji Yushu asked directly.

Ye Qiuju was stunned for a moment, not understanding why they suddenly mentioned Song Zhenzhen, but she still shook her head: "I don't know either. It was the third brother who told me that she left. I really don't know where she is, but I am sure she didn't go back to her hometown."

Song Zhenzhen had already gotten used to life in the city, so why would she want to go back to the hardship of the countryside? But now Chen Guilan suddenly came looking for her, could something have happened?

"You really don't know?" Chen Guilan confirmed again.

"I really don't know." Ye Qiuju shook her head.

"Okay, if you know her whereabouts, ask the second child to come and tell me." Chen Guilan glanced at her belly when she left. Let's wait until she gives birth to the baby.

"Okay." Ye Qiuju responded obediently. After everyone left, she couldn't help but ask Ji Yushu, "What's going on? Mom doesn't seem very happy."

"The third brother was laid off. I heard that he was delayed from work because he went to visit your cousin." Ji Yushu shook his head after saying this. He didn't realize that the third brother was such a lovesick guy.

"Laid off?" Ye Qiuju was surprised and secretly happy at the same time. She was actually laid off. It seemed that Song Zhenzhen had no way out. She actually lied just now. She knew where Song Zhenzhen was now.

"Well, don't worry about other people's affairs for now, just take care of yourself." Ji Yushu's eyes fell on her belly.

"I understand." Ye Qiuju lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes. She planned to call Song Zhenzhen when he was not at home.

Chen Guilan stormed out of the ironworks and returned with a look of helplessness. Unexpectedly, Ji Yumo was sitting in the yard without saying a word. She stepped forward and slapped him twice: "You've really grown cocky now, haven't you? You didn't even tell us about something as important as being laid off, all for a woman like that. Are you satisfied with the state of our family now?"

"Mom, I don't want this to happen either. For so many years, I have followed your arrangements from taking over to getting married. Can't you let me do what I want for once? Just like my second brother." Ji Yumo almost shouted these words. They all said that they loved him the most, but in the end, they had to interfere in everything he did, while his second brother could do whatever he wanted.

"Okay, okay, you are blaming us now, right?" Chen Guilan covered her chest and felt heartbroken. For so many years, the old couple favored him and remembered all the good things for him, but in the end, all they got was his complaints.

Ji Yumo didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement with her words. He thought, if it weren't for them, he probably wouldn't have married Yao Yan. Even if his marriage partner was not like Song Zhenzhen, it would definitely not be like Yao Yan.

His silence directly broke down the last line of defense in Chen Guilan's heart, and then she fell straight down.

Jiang Lili knew the news from Ji Mingyue. In Ji Mingyue's view, since they were all Chen Guilan's granddaughters, why should she stay out of it?

"You mean grandma had a stroke and was hospitalized?" Jiang Lili was a little surprised. In her memory, Chen Guilan had always been in good health.

"Well, her ward is on the third floor. Ji Wenwu has a fracture and can't take care of her, so we have to take turns to stay by her bedside." Ji Mingyue talked about her arrangements.

"Wait, you mean I should stay by your bedside? Ji Mingyue, have you forgotten my last name now?" Jiang Lili was just wondering why she suddenly told her this, it turned out that she was waiting for her here.

"Even if your last name is Jiang, it can't change your relationship with her, or you don't want to go at all?" Ji Mingyue couldn't help but frowned at the end.

"First of all, she has a son and daughter-in-law, so it's not my turn as a grandchild. Besides, who are you? Why should I listen to your arrangements? Don't try to morally blackmail me, otherwise I believe everyone will be more interested in why she was hospitalized?" Jiang Lili knew the reason for her stroke without having to guess. It must be related to the bad things they did.

"Jiang Lili, she is your grandmother after all." Ji Mingyue sought out Jiang Lili alone in order to prevent those things from spreading in the school, but she didn't expect that she would not be moved by any persuasion.

"Yes, I didn't say it wasn't. Her two sons are still here, so why should it be the grandchildren's turn to show filial piety? If you want to go, just go by yourself. Don't morally blackmail me. Or, is it that this was originally your parents' responsibility, and they acted as a hands-off boss and let you go, and then you were unwilling and wanted to drag me into it?" After Jiang Lili finished speaking, she looked at Ji Mingyue with a half-smile on her face. Seeing that she was uncomfortable for a moment, Jiang Lili knew that she had guessed right.

"Jiang Lili, you are really an ungrateful person. It's a pity that your dad loved you so much before." Ji Mingyue didn't expect that her thoughts were guessed by her at once, so she could only take the initiative to cover up her panic.

"So what if he's an ungrateful person? Ji Yushu himself is an ungrateful villain. His blood flows in my veins. Isn't this normal?" Jiang Lili said as she looked at Ji Mingyue indifferently.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Ji Mingyue realized for the first time that Jiang Lili was so good at talking. If she continued to argue with her, she would not have any advantage at all.

"Goodbye, take care." Jiang Lili saw her off with a smile on her face.

After Ji Mingyue left, Jiang Lili couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Chen Guilan actually had a stroke. What on earth had stimulated her? She intuitively felt that it must not be a trivial matter.

She originally planned to share this matter with her family when she returned home in the evening, but she did not expect that when she returned home from school, she met Yao Yan and Jiang Yulan who was talking to her at the gate of the cotton mill.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her suddenly stop, Lu Jiaze was a little puzzled.

"It's okay, I saw my mother, I'll go over and take a look." Jiang Lili said and walked towards the two people over there.

Lu Jiaze stared at her back for two seconds, feeling her excitement just now. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to go home. The things that could make her happy were nothing more than those few things. He would just ask Tongtong when he was free.

Seeing Jiang Lili coming over, Yao Yan had said almost everything she needed to say. She smiled and waved to the mother and daughter, "Sister Jiang, I'll be going back first. Now they've gotten what they deserved."

After Yao Yan's figure was completely out of sight, Jiang Lili spoke: "Mom, did Third Aunt just come to tell you that grandma had a stroke and was in the hospital?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Yulan was a little surprised.

"Ji Mingyue told me that she wanted me to take turns with her to go to the hospital to keep watch over her grandmother." Jiang Lili thought of Yao Yan's happy expression when she left just now, and she had a rough guess in her mind.

"She has a good plan. Lili, what do you think?" Jiang Yulan said and looked at Jiang Lili. She didn't want her to go, but if she wanted to go, she would not stop her.

"Mom, you don't think I want to go, do you?" Jiang Lili felt that Jiang Yulan still overestimated her.

"No, I support you no matter what decision you make." Jiang Yulan shook her head.

"By the way, when Third Aunt came to see you, she must have told you why grandma had a stroke, right?" To be honest, Jiang Lili was really curious about the reason why Chen Guilan had a stroke.

After hearing what Jiang Yulan said, Jiang Lili was silent for a while, then said: "Is this retribution?" The old couple loved Ji Yumo the most. Now that he had a stroke because of him, it was a perfect closed loop.

"Spoiling a child is like killing him. Someone has reminded them of this before, but they obviously didn't take it seriously. Now they are reaping the consequences." Jiang Yulan said, shaking her head.

"I didn't realize that Third Uncle was so loyal to that person." Jiang Lili really didn't expect it.

"Yeah, he used to hide behind Yao Yan in everything, but now he's acting like a man, but it's all for something like this." At the end, Jiang Yulan couldn't help but snort coldly.

Jiang Lili still remembered the plot where the old couple showed off in front of others because Ji Yushu became the richest man. Now Chen Guilan has suffered a stroke and may have to lie in bed for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shook her head. Sure enough, if people do too many bad things, there will always be retribution.

"Let's go, we should go upstairs, Mom. I won't go." Jiang Lili took Jiang Yulan's arm. She did not forget the two faces the old couple had towards her in public and behind other people.

"Well, she has two sons, a daughter-in-law and a granddaughter. It's not your turn anyway." Jiang Yulan said as she touched her head. Fortunately, she was divorced and took Lili away from the Ji family, otherwise they would be disgusted with Lili.

Seeing that they came back so late, Jiang Aiguo asked casually, and Jiang Yulan began to repeat what Yao Yan had just said to them. At this time, the phone rang. Jiang Lili was the first to stand up. She looked at the Jincheng area code jumping on the phone, and a smile unconsciously rose at the corner of her lips: "Sister Cheng."

Cheng Yuntian on the other end of the phone also smiled: "It's me."

"It seems there is good news." Feeling the joy in her tone, Jiang Lili felt relieved.

"You're right, Manager Zhang is a smart man. He is willing to pay a licensing fee of 5% of our turnover." They won this round.

"That's good. What does he think of the hand-torn book?" What they wanted from the beginning to the end was just an attitude. As for the actual sales volume in Quan City, even if they wanted to, it would not be an easy task for them to investigate it all. What they wanted was just an attitude from Manager Zhang. Now it seems that Manager Zhang has probably figured out the key.

"I told him about it, and he placed the order. I also reminded him that since we know that Quanshi has installed gutta-percha, we can find out about the sales volume as long as we are willing to investigate. As long as they don't go too far, we can turn a blind eye." Cheng Yuntian couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he mentioned this.

"Sister Cheng is really smart." Jiang Lili said the compliment, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She did not intend to continue to trouble He Jian with the follow-up matters. After all, as long as Manager Zhang checked, he would soon find out that it was them, mother and son. She did not want to implicate them.

Cheng Yuntian seemed to sense the meaning behind her words, and she raised the corner of her lip: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to intimidate him out of thin air. My dad is planning to open a new factory over there, so it's easy to get the data."

Jiang Lili felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. It turned out that she had misunderstood. Thinking of this, she realized that her guard seemed to be getting worse and worse!
