Chapter 16 Am I a Brother-Supporting Demon?

Seeing her so conflicted, Ji Huaizhi leaned in and kissed her: "Don't worry, take the day off tomorrow, and I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

In fact, Ji Huaizhi already knew the result; she was indeed pregnant.

However, because the month was too early, the other line was barely visible.

"Let's go eat first."

Dong Shuxiang sat at the table watching him. Although the arrival of the child was somewhat unexpected, given his current state, the child's arrival was a welcome addition.

After a hospital check-up, I confirmed that I was pregnant, but the baby was too early in gestation.

Tell them to come back for a check-up in another month.

Ji Huaizhi drove with a smile on his face, clearly in a good mood.

Dong Shuxiang touched her belly in surprise, glancing at Ji Huaizhi every now and then.

After arriving home, Dong Shuxiang first called her parents to tell them the good news.

Unexpectedly, they came to take care of him.

Ji Huaizhi saw her frown as she took the phone: "Mom and Dad, it's me, Huaizhi."

"The doctor said it was too early in the pregnancy, so they did some simple tests and told us to come back in a month or two to check again."

"No response."

"Don't worry, I can take care of her at home. It's very convenient for me to work from home now."

“We don’t need to call since we’re going back this weekend,” Ji Huaizhi said calmly. “Okay, I’ll take good care of Shushu.”

After hanging up the phone, Dong Shuxiang chuckled.

"Great! Now 1+1 equals 3."

Ji Huaizhi pinched her nose.

On the weekend, Ji Huaizhi drove to the Ji family home.

When the two of them arrived this time, Liu Jinhua did not wait for Dong Shuxiang to cook.

Ji Huailin stood up: "Brother, sister-in-law."

This time, Ji Huailin's attitude was exceptionally good.

Ji Junsong glanced at them, then continued watching TV without saying a word.

"You're here? Sit down for a bit, dinner will be ready soon." Liu Jinhua brought out the dishes.

He wanted Dong Shuxiang to lend him a hand, but after thinking about what he was going to say, he didn't say anything.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, Liu Jinhua gave Ji Huailin a wink, signaling him to speak first.

"Brother, didn't we bump into each other at the mall the other day? The girl next to her is my girlfriend." Ji Huailin was a little embarrassed, as Ji Huaizhi didn't respond to his questions several times.

In the past, he would have already started making a scene.

"Really? Didn't you think your sister-in-law and I were shameful?"

Ji Huailin said awkwardly, "How could that be? I was just thinking of finding some time to introduce you two."

“The main problem is that we just started dating. Her family seems to be quite well-off, and she looks down on my situation. For example, she’s been arguing with me recently because I don’t own a house.”

Ji Huaizhi served food to Dong Shuxiang.

Liu Jinhua curled her lip upon seeing this.

"Then you should work hard and try to buy a house as soon as possible."

Ji Huaizhi didn't take the bait, and Dong Shuxiang secretly smiled.

“Your younger brother is not young anymore, and as the older brother, you should help him out.” Ji Junsong spoke calmly this time, using a different approach.

I dared not speak loudly, for fear that he would take the opportunity to start another argument and run away.

"You only have one younger brother. After we're gone, you'll have to support each other."

"I can't help much. I have my own family now, and I have to rely on myself for everything."

Ji Huaizhi's words made them look rather unpleasant.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard him say again, "Shushu is pregnant, and there will be many expenses in the future. We just bought a car, and we don't have any spare money to help her."

Liu Jinhua's gaze fell on Dong Shuxiang's belly.

Ji Junsong was very happy to hear that he was going to have a grandson.

Ji Huailin only heard that they had bought a car.

"You bought a car? Didn't I see you riding your beat-up electric scooter when we were at the mall?"

"You don't have a job right now, why would you spend that money?"

Ji Huailin's voice was rather loud.

They then realized, "Yeah, you're not even going out now, why would you spend money on a car?"

Dong Shuxiang rolled her eyes: "I have to go to work."

"You can just ride an electric scooter, why drive a car? Are you some kind of precious treasure?" Liu Jinhua said through gritted teeth.

I feel so heartbroken.

“I bought it for her. She’s the main source of income for the family now, so why isn’t she precious?” Ji Huaizhi said bluntly, “I didn’t ask you to pay for it, so why are you so upset?”

"You..." Ji Junsong wanted to yell at him again.

But seeing him about to pull Dong Shuxiang away, she forced herself to hold back.

Ji Huaizhi's face also showed a regretful expression, making no attempt to hide his desire to leave.

How big is the baby in your belly?

“This is the eldest grandson of the Ji family, you have to be careful.” Liu Jinhua didn’t want to bring up the car.

Headache.

When Ji Huailin saw them talking about children, he completely forgot about his own business.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis arose.

He reminded Liu Jinhua, "Aren't you talking about me?"

"Oh right." Liu Jinhua looked at Ji Junsong: "His father, wasn't that what you were going to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is that you're married now, but don't forget your younger brother is still a bachelor." Ji Junsong tried his best to keep his tone from being too harsh.

Fearing that they might yell again, they would take the opportunity to leave.

"You're quite something as an older brother, buying a car and a house now." Ji Junsong felt a surge of anger thinking about how they now lived in a new house without him even inviting them to stay for a couple of days.

"Your wife and kids are all settled in now, you should at least take care of your younger brother, shouldn't you?"

Ji Huaizhi: "Am I not taking good enough care of him?"

“I used to chew his food and feed it to him, and that’s why he’s so useless!”

Ji Junsong: "You..."

Ji Huailin clenched his fists and remained silent.

"What's wrong with helping him?" Ji Junsong slammed his hand on the table. "Why are you having to go through all this trouble now?"

"Because it's not Huaizhi's responsibility." Dong Shuxiang couldn't stand them sucking her family's blood.

"Did I speak to you?" Ji Junsong yelled at her, "You're an outsider!"

“You are the outsiders,” Ji Huaizhi interjected.

Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Jinhua quickly interrupted, "Eat! Eat quickly!"

"What's all the fuss about? We're all family. How filial Huaizhi used to be!" Liu Jinhua was implying that Ji Huaizhi had been blinded by what others said.

"Shuxiang Huaizhi, you two have misunderstood us." Liu Jinhua knew that force would definitely not work.

We can only resort to the soft approach.

"You're under a lot of pressure right now, but you've already bought a motorhome, so you must still have some money. How about we lend it to your brother to help him get married? What do you say?"

Liu Jinhua tried to change her strategy: "Shuxiang, you're the sister-in-law."

“Look, you and Huaizhi already have a child, while your younger brother is still all alone.”

“He has a girlfriend, and he also has you and Dad, so he’s not exactly a loner.” Dong Shuxiang didn’t respond.

"Besides, Mom and Dad, Huaizhi relieved so much of your burden before, you must have quite a bit of money on you too," Dong Shuxiang hinted, waiting to see if Ji Huailin could understand.
