Why?

The evil person has done so many evil things, but can all the grudges be wiped out just because of a little kindness?

Not all mistakes can be solved with just a simple "I'm sorry".

How badly was the third branch of the Ji family oppressed in the past?

If it weren't for my father's kindness, the third branch of the Ji family would have been destroyed from the moment Ji Sanlang's leg was broken.

At that time, Old Man Ji not only had no kindness towards Ji Sanlang's family, but he personally decided to kick them out.

Now that the third branch of the Ji family is living a good life and little Silang has a promising future, old man Ji comes here to act like a kind elder.

Is it funny or not?

Ji Keji saw Zheng Wanjun's pretty face flushed with anger, and he knew that Zheng Wanjun was worried about him and was standing up for him.

His heart felt warm.

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore! Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'm definitely not a saint. I can't repay evil with kindness."

Grandfather is indeed playing tricks. He must be just as my junior sister said.

Ji Keji is not stupid, of course he knows this.

However, the word "filial piety" cannot be avoided.

Even if he knew that Old Man Ji would come to his house to make trouble tomorrow, he could not think of a better way than to give him money.

"Why is there no good solution?"

Zheng Wanjun smiled playfully.

To deal with a scoundrel, you must use scoundrel methods.

This is what is called "beating magic with magic".

The next day, Old Man Ji brought a group of people and rushed to the house that Ji Sanlang rented on Shuyuanqian Street.

This courtyard is located opposite the academy.

Therefore, the arrival of Old Man Ji and his group attracted the attention of passing students and teachers.

Some people who love to watch the fun couldn't help but gather around.

"Third brother, come out quickly!"

"You unfilial son! Our father is here, why don't you hurry out to greet him?"

"Humph, I knew the third brother was an ungrateful person! After the family was divided, he no longer cared about his parents!"

"Old Third, if you don't come out, we'll go to the academy to find Xiao Shilang—"

Maybe it was because the noise was too loud, or maybe it was because the last sentence was too hurtful.

The door of the courtyard finally opened.

However, the person who opened the door was not Ji Sanlang who had just recovered from his injury, nor Ji Sanniang, but Ji Keji who was about to go out.

"Aung! Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle!"

When he saw a group of people at the door, Ji Keji was calm and greeted them politely.

"Where's your dad? Let him come out!"

Ji Dalang jumped out and shouted.

"My father just recovered from his injury, but the family is short of money, so he went to work."

Ji Keji answered without any joy or anger.

However, this sentence still made Ji Dalang feel a little uncomfortable.

Ahem, it was indeed because of him that the third brother’s leg was broken.

"Longing for money? Didn't your family make a fortune? Look at you, you're wearing brand new clothes."

Ji Erlang took over from his elder brother and got angry at Ji Keji.

He also produced "evidence".

Ji Keji lowered his head, looked at the moon-white robe made by his master's wife, and said calmly, "This is a gift from my master's wife!"

The two sons were defeated one after another, so Old Man Ji had to step in personally, "Little Silang, we are a family. It was because Awenghu was smeared that we separated you."

"Since the family is short of money, let's just move back."

This is Old Man Ji’s main purpose.

After yesterday's farce, Old Man Ji felt that the third branch was still more reliable.

However, Old Man Ji didn’t want to give up his other sons.

So, it’s best to live together.

"Are you a family?"

This time, before Ji Keji could come out to respond, Zheng Wanjun jumped out.

"That's wonderful!"

Zheng Wanjun's delicate white face was full of surprise. She stretched out a white and tender hand and said, "Give me the money."

"What?" Old Man Ji and his sons were all stunned.

Why do I have to give money?

"Didn't you say that you and Ji Sanlang's family are family? Ji Sanlang has owed my mother rent for almost half a year, and it adds up to a full five taels of silver."

"And Ji Sanlang's medical expenses cost a full six taels of silver."

"And Madam Gu from the back street also borrowed money from me, five taels!"

"Oh, by the way, there's also Madam Zhou. Borrowing food will cost at least one or two taels of silver."

"And Aunt Wu, Aunt Xu, Uncle Liu..."

Zheng Wanjun counted a lot of money, some real and some fake, and then calculated the total amount. "Ji Sanlang's family owed the neighbors a total of 26 taels and 7 qian of silver."

"In the past, the neighbors all thought Ji Sanlang was a separated family, but now they know that he actually has relatives."

"Even so, return the money."

Zheng Wanjun’s meaning was very clear. If the people in the Ji family’s old house wanted to suck Ji Sanlang’s family’s blood, they had to pay back the money for Ji Sanlang’s family first.

In fact, the money had been paid back as early as when Ji Keji and Mr. Zheng opened a printing workshop together.

But, outsiders don’t know.

The people in the Ji family's old house were not aware of this.

Besides, as long as both parties insist on it, no one else can confirm whether the debt is owed or not.

Ji Dalang hurriedly distanced himself from the matter, "No! We are not a family! We split up a long time ago. Ji Sanlang owes a debt, let him pay it back himself!"

Damn, I thought the third brother's family had become rich, but I didn't expect it to be just a bunch of idiots!
