Chapter 38 My Fierce Wife

Our home doesn't feel like home anymore, and we're barely making ends meet.

The main problem is that no one dares to ask Ji Huaizhi to share the burden, because they are afraid of ending up like their parents.

Huang Zhaodi was still crying: "I'm your own mother! Is this how you treat me? I, Huang Zhaodi, am indeed not a good person, but ask yourself honestly, have I treated my own son and daughter badly?"

"This is how you treat me? How could you treat me like this?"

"Whom am I doing all this for?"

Ji Jianshe gritted his teeth: "Shut up! The reason this house is in this state is all because of you!"

Do you think things are better for us now that we're in the village?

The thought of the rumors and the ostracism he faced in the village made him feel resentful.

The main problem is the huge debt. Ji Jianguo and his wife are also cunning. If things continue like this, their family will be ruined sooner or later.

"Anyway, you're not thinking straight now, so you should just stay here and reflect on your actions. We can't even take care of ourselves right now!"

After saying that, he didn't leave. He first went to take a look at Ji's father, who lived in the shed outside.

His leg broke suddenly, and the family is now one less breadwinner. It's a real headache just thinking about it.

Ji Shichui looked up: "I'll be able to work again after I recover for a while. How's the house repair going?"

That's it, but there's no room for you and Mom anymore; we really don't have the space.

"Don't complain to your uncle. It's no use. His scolding won't change anything. If all else fails, have your uncle take you there. Or you can go find Ji Huaizhi. He's living a good life off his wife now."

Anyway, neither he nor Ji Jianguo can control it.

Ji Shichui cried: "I have three sons and one daughter, but I never expected that none of them would be filial."

"The boss resents me, and you all dislike me."

"If only I had been nicer to the boss before, things wouldn't be like this now!"

Ji Jianshe suddenly snapped, "If only I had known!"

"What's the use of saying all this now? But you didn't have it back then. He is indeed filial now, but he's not being filial to you. That Wang Xiaoer said he's very good to the Wang and Feng families."

"He treats those people like brothers, and he's making money off the Wang family! They're giving away things in huge quantities!"

Is it meaningful to talk about this now?

"Didn't we give you food? We almost didn't even have a place to stay, we were drowning in debt, and we almost lost all our land!"

Ji Shichui burst into tears, accompanied by Huang Zhaodi's vicious words.

Ji Huaizhi picked up his daughter from school, cooked a lot of delicious food, and even sent some to the Zhou family.

Zhou's mother smiled so broadly her face was all scrunched up.

She hadn't misjudged them. As soon as the couple moved in, they came to visit with gifts to express their gratitude. Since they lived nearby, she would bring them a portion of anything good she made.

Zhou's mother felt that he was a new son that God had given her.

Because I didn't have time to be born into her womb, we are only meeting now.

She would always prepare a copy of anything nice she bought for their family.

Frequent visits can truly turn people into family.

"Mom, Dad made something delicious today!" Ji Shengkai quickly poured water for his mother to wash her hands when he saw Feng Qiaoxiang return.

"What a wonderful day it is today! We get to eat such delicious food."

"Let's celebrate you leaving get off work on time today. This is a good day." Ji Huaizhi told them to come and eat.

Feng Qiaoxiang found it amusing: "What's there to celebrate?"

"But I have good news to tell you." The family sat down, and Feng Qiaoxiang straightened her back:

Ji Huaizhi looked at her with a smile.

"I am pregnant!"

"Our family will have a new member soon! I wasn't feeling well at work today, and a colleague reminded me that I might be pregnant. I went to check, and it's true!" Feng Qiaoxiang said, clapping her hands excitedly.

"I have someone in my belly now, and I find it unbelievable myself."

Although she had been prepared, she was still very excited.

Ji Shengkai clapped enthusiastically, saying, "Mom is amazing! There's actually someone in your belly!"

Ji Huaizhi was genuinely amused by the mother and daughter.

"Then this meal I cooked today was just right, consider it a celebration." He looked at Qiaoxiang affectionately and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Oh dear, don't look at me like that, it makes my heart beat way too fast," Feng Qiaoxiang said, touching her chest.

Why does this man always make me blush and my heart race?

"Now that we've moved to the city, my promotion documents have come through, and I'm practically a team leader in my workplace now," Feng Qiaoxiang sighed, rubbing her belly.

"How can there be any hope for the future?"

"Mom is so amazing!"

Feng Qiaoxiang stroked her daughter's head: "Shengkai, your grades have improved too. Your teacher was praising you last time. When you go to university, your parents will sell everything we own to support your studies!"

"Um!"

Feng Qiaoxiang then looked at Ji Huaizhi: "And the pillar of our family, he has been bringing money home all along. He earns almost three months' salary in a month. He is not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

"Now all the business owners in the city know you."

"From now on, our family will work together to live a good life!"

Ji Shengkai raised his hand: "Live a good life!"

"Um."

“Dad, you’re too cold-hearted. You should live like me: live a good life!” Ji Shengkai raised his hand to demonstrate to his father.

"Live a good life!"

Extra:

Ji Shichui sat in the shed, which was completely enclosed, but he still felt a bit cold.

When the weather gets cold, his legs ache a lot.

Lying next to her was Huang Zhaodi, who was coughing incessantly.

Ji Shichui was afraid she would freeze to death, so he brought her out of the pigsty.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with Huang Zhaodi; on the contrary, he hated her.

But if Huang Zhaodi dies, he will truly be all alone.

The children don't care about them, and the house is still in complete chaos.

I don't know what they were arguing about. Maybe it was about debt, or maybe it was because they would have to tighten their belts again next year.

There were sounds of children crying, the two brothers arguing, and women complaining.

Ji Shichui pulled his clothes tighter and sighed.

He hadn't seen the boss for many years. He had heard that the boss had come a few times before, but he hadn't seen him because he was walking too slowly with his legs dragging.

He knew that this meant the boss didn't want to see him.

But he wanted to see his boss. What if his boss saw him and felt sorry for his old man, and took him away?

This winter is so cold.

I heard that the eldest son's family has had a new baby. When he comes to the village, he always rides a bicycle. He can't remember what his granddaughter looks like. She is the top student in the whole school.

He's really blind.

Ji Shichui sat by the fire with droopy eyelids, while Huang Zhaodi complained of pain all over her body again.

He was in pain, so much so that he felt numb from the pain. He thought to himself that at his age, he had to suffer all this humiliation and torment, and he might as well die.

But he didn't dare.

Neither he nor Huang Zhaodi dared to.

It looks like a fight has broken out inside; it looks like there won't be any food today.

"Ugh, it's so cold."
