Chapter 3 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd 3

“You’ve been working outside for so long, you must have saved up quite a bit. Your brother’s girlfriend comes from a well-off family, so your dad and I can only support him.”

"And you'll have to rely on yourself, or find someone and work together."

Mr. Ji nodded, "When your mother married me, she worked hard alongside me to get where she is today."

The original owner didn't know what to say; he wanted to question them.

But he could only be a coward and made an excuse that he had to go back to the factory first.

I never expected that while I was thinking about this at work, my hand would get cut by the machine.

After the factory called home, they couldn't refuse to come.

Only his younger brother transferred five thousand yuan to his phone.

They didn't say anything.

That's why this feeling is even more unpleasant.

The factory owner received very little compensation for the accident because the factory claimed it was his mistake caused by being distracted at work. If the matter were to be investigated, he would also have to compensate for the loss of the machine.

The original owner was terrified and accepted the small amount of compensation without pursuing the matter further.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, but Grandpa Ji called immediately after the original owner's accident.

They said they felt uncomfortable in their chest and felt that something was wrong.

The last time Grandpa Ji felt unwell in his chest was when Grandma had her accident.

The original owner cried alone in the hospital.

She cried very loudly.

Grandpa Ji was very anxious when he heard his grandson crying. His grandson had cried before, but this time his crying was different.

He immediately packed his things and headed to his city.

We walked a long way up the mountain road before taking a bus, and then bought a ticket to take the train.

When Grandpa Ji saw his grandson's hands, he was both angry and heartbroken.

He went to the factory to make trouble for his grandson, then went to his son's house, slapped him, and cursed them severely.

But now his grandson has lost his hand.

They acted as if they had no son.

"Huaizhi is also your son. When you're paving the way for the younger one, can't you think about him?"

"Didn't you always say you owed him? How come you're like this now? He's your son too."

"Aren't you feeling any remorse?"

Grandpa collapsed from a rush of blood to his head.

He's getting old, and the doctor said he can't take care of himself and needs someone to look after him.

After the eldest aunt came over, she scolded Ji's father as well, and then said that she had been the one taking care of him all these years since he got married.

Now it's your turn, son.

What's more, Grandpa Ji also helps you take care of the children, and it's only because he came to your place that things have turned out this way.

They can't be sent back to the mountains.

Ji's mother was unwilling, but her eldest aunt ignored them and bought a ticket to go home.

The children don't care about themselves, and neither do their own parents.

However, she secretly left some money for the original owner before she left.

Tell him to remember to buy food for his grandfather. The aunt told the original owner to keep an eye on his grandfather, and if they were not filial, she would have the original owner call her.

Unexpectedly, Ji's parents rented a house outside for a year and handed the old man over to the original owner of the body for care.

Their plan was sound: if the old man was taken care of, the original owner wouldn't bother them anymore.

Ji's parents felt that Ji Huaizhi had a lot of money, so they tacitly refrained from asking about other medical expenses.

As long as you don't go in front of them, it's fine.

The original owner felt that her life was a complete mess.

Compared to his younger brother, he now looks like he's twenty years older.

Looking at his younger brother's life and comparing it to his own, he felt resentful.

After caring for him for less than a year, he abandoned his grandfather at the doorstep of his parents' house and ran away.

Before running away, I saw the look in my grandfather's eyes, and in front of him, I slapped myself twice.

Then he left without looking back.

He didn't have a good life after he ran away. Because of his disability, he couldn't find a job. He found a construction site with less strict management to do manual labor and earned the lowest wages.

In the end, he was unlucky and was tricked by a fellow worker into going to the Golden Triangle.

~

The original owner's life was a series of mistakes, one after another.

No one was there to support him, and no one was there to guide him.

I can only rely on myself to learn through trial and error, stumbling and making mistakes along the way.

But ordinary people don't have that many opportunities to try and make mistakes.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, I just feel a little unwell." Ji Huaizhi's voice was a little hoarse: "I miss Grandma."

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Your grandma will be watching over you from heaven." Grandpa's rough hands hurt a little when he touched his face.

But it also makes me feel very safe.

"Go get some sleep. You don't need to keep watch tonight."

Ji Huaizhi wasn't sleepy when he first arrived.

Just then, a voice came from ahead: "Ji Dong'er is back."

"Dad, my brother is back." Aunt came over and lifted Ji Huaizhi up.

Mr. and Mrs. Ji cried as soon as they got out of the car.

Before I even walked in, I could hear the two of them crying and singing.

The sound of crying also rose up around them, seemingly in rhythm.

When Ji's mother saw her eldest son standing there blankly with a white handkerchief on his back, she wanted to go forward and hug him, but he took a step back instead.

Her crying stopped for a moment.

Grandpa Ji called out, "Old woman, our son is back!"

"Rest in peace!"

They've all come back to see you off!

The somber funeral music was very loud.

It felt like it was gently pattering down on everyone's chest.

After the burial, the Ji family sat together.

After the funeral, Ji Dong and Tang Juan wanted to leave immediately, but Grandpa Ji asked them to wait.

They had something else to say, and they even called their aunt and great-grandfather along.

"You probably guessed why I told you not to leave yet. There are fewer and fewer students in the mountain village school now, and the school might close down one day."

"You should take your eldest grandson with you to study."

Grandpa Ji got straight to the point.

In fact, Ji Dong and Tang Juan had already guessed it.

Ji Dong didn't speak, but Tang Juan spoke first: "Dad, we want to too, but it's really not easy to get a school registration outside."

"Don't tell me these things, Dong'er, your mother is gone." Grandpa Ji didn't care about these things anymore.

“I’m an old man, and who knows, I might be gone someday. Have you thought about what will happen to my eldest grandson?”

"If Xianli can study in the city, why can't Huaizhi?"

At this point, Mr. Ji became somewhat agitated.

The eldest aunt, standing nearby, also spoke up: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but what you did was really wrong."

"Huaizhi is also your son. Every time he comes back, you say how much you love him and how much you miss him, but why don't you take him away from home?"

Tang Juan looked pale.

What does this mean?

Why not hold a public denunciation meeting in front of so many people?

Grandpa knew what they were thinking when he saw that they were silent.

"You two shouldn't blame your father. He collapsed right after your mother passed away. He was also worried that there would be no one to take care of the baby he was carrying."
