Chapter 130 Zhao Jian'an is in trouble

Huang Mao led his men away, and Ji Hefeng ignored the Song Jian and Song Li brothers standing to the side, walking towards Molly, "Want to continue shopping?"

Molly herself didn't mind, "Would you like to go shopping?"

Ji Hefeng sighed, “I’m afraid we don’t have time. Uncle Geng and I were just passing by when we saw your car. We were going to come over and say hello, but then we saw my two cousins ​​fighting with someone.”

In reality, the two cousins ​​were being unilaterally abused.

Molly looked at Song Jian and Song Li with surprise, "Are these two your maternal uncle's sons?"

Ji Hefeng nodded, "It's been more than ten years since we last met. Although their appearances have changed, you can still see their original features. Meng'er is called the eldest, A-Jian. The eldest cousin's name is Song Jian, and the second cousin's name is Song Li."

When Song Jian and Song Li saw Molly, their eyes lit up. Then, when this strange man accurately called out their names, they couldn't help but turn their gaze to him.

Ji Hefeng smiled at them, "Big cousin, second cousin, long time no see."

Song Jian asked with surprise and doubt, "Are you Ji Hefeng's cousin?"

Ji Hefeng nodded, "It's me."

Song Jian then asked, "Was it you who was supposed to visit my house a couple of days ago?"

When this was mentioned, Ji Hefeng gave a sarcastic smile, "It wasn't me, it was my wife. We have other things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

After saying that, ignoring Song Jian and Song Li, Ji Hefeng took Molly's hand and walked towards the car.

Ji Hefeng opened the car door for Molly and then closed it for her. After watching the car drive away, he walked to another car.

The Song brothers, Jian and Li, who were standing not far away, did not look too good.

"Didn't Mom say the Ji family had fallen on hard times? How come they can afford such nice cars?" Song Li felt uncomfortable. She had thought they were poor relatives coming to freeload, but it turned out they were driving cars that were even better than theirs.

Song Jian's focus, however, was not on that. "What's the relationship between that woman and Ji Hefeng?"

"My cousin's wife, didn't Dad say that the other day?" Song Li said with some regret, "Ji Hefeng is lucky; he married such beautiful wives."

Inside the car, Ji Hefeng looked rather grim.

“Although your two cousins ​​aren’t very capable, they’re not too bad compared to other spoiled brats,” Uncle Geng said.

Ji Hefeng nodded, "These two cousins ​​and my uncle don't look like them at all; they look more like members of the He family."

Uncle Geng agreed, "Your uncle is a good man. Which rich man here doesn't have several wives and concubines, and a bunch of sons and daughters? Only your uncle is clean outside, with only your aunt. Actually, if you ask me, your uncle can find other women and have a few more. He can always choose an excellent one."

Ji Hefeng disagreed with Uncle Geng's point of view, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Don't talk about my uncle, what about yourself? How come you haven't had many children?"

Uncle Geng's face stiffened, and he turned away awkwardly.

Ji Hefeng raised an eyebrow. "You haven't really injured your body and are no longer able to function?"

Uncle Geng's face flushed. "It's not possible without it, but I do have a minor health problem and can't have children."

Ji Hefeng fell silent, feeling sorry for Uncle Geng.

"It's alright, I've long since come to terms with it." A few years ago, as soon as he started earning money, he went for a medical checkup. He visited various hospitals and took a lot of medicine, which he continued until a few years ago when he finally stopped. He accepted his fate; perhaps he was destined to be childless.

“I will take care of you in your old age,” Ji Hefeng said.

“Of course, if you don’t want to raise them, your son will.” Uncle Geng said matter-of-factly, his eyes darting around. “You have six children, how about lending me one to raise?”

Ji Hefeng glanced at him sideways, "Don't mention this in front of Molly, or she'll beat you up. If you want to raise a child, go adopt one yourself."

"No." Uncle Geng refused without even thinking. "What's the point of raising someone else's child?"

"Isn't my child someone else's child?"

“It’s different. You’re smart, and you and your siblings are both good-looking, so your children will definitely be good.”

That's true.

Ji Hefeng also felt that his children were the best in the world, saying, "You will definitely like them when you meet them."

"When I'm less busy in a while, I'll go back to Beijing to see them." He missed Ji Hefeng when he was a child and wondered if his children would look like them.

He Pan was discharged from the hospital and moved into Uncle Geng's house.

They originally planned to go back after He Pan was discharged from the hospital. But Uncle Geng wouldn't let them go and insisted on keeping Ji Hefeng for two more days before he finally relented.

The night before they were to return home, Uncle Song came to visit, bringing four sandalwood boxes. "These are all your mother's dowry from back then. Please take them back with her."

Ji Hefeng looked at the boxes and said, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you all these years, Uncle."

Uncle Song waved his hand, "We're family, no need for formalities. I tried to persuade your mother to come with me, but she couldn't bear to leave you or your father, so she stayed. All I can do is help her keep these inanimate objects safe."

He Yuan had long coveted these jewels, and if he hadn't kept a close watch on them, they might not have survived. Now that they've been returned intact, it can be considered that he has fulfilled his sister's expectations.

After Uncle Song left, Uncle Geng sighed, "These jewels are priceless. Your uncle is truly a man of impeccable character."

Ji Hefeng nodded, "Uncle is doing well."

Uncle Geng also brought out something—a box full of gold jewelry, weighing over twenty pounds.

"The gold you gave me, I spent it all back then. These gold jewelry pieces were made by me, they're all the most fashionable styles in Hong Kong. You're giving them to your wife as a betrothal gift. You didn't give a betrothal gift when you got married, did you?"

“I didn’t give it to you,” Ji Hefeng said. “But I can’t accept these things from you. The gold was my initial investment, which was originally meant for you to use in your business. If you return it to me now, should I return the shares under my name to you?”

“That won’t do.” Uncle Geng refused. He thought for a moment, then said, “Then I won’t give it to you. I’ll give it to Molly directly. She saved my life. Without her, not only would I lose this gold, but I would also lose my life and all my possessions. Molly, you have to accept this gold. You can’t refuse.”

Molly: "........I've already spent a lot of your money these days."

“That little bit of money is nothing; my life is worth far more. Take it. If you don’t take it now, I’ll bring it to you next time.”

Molly looked at Ji Hefeng, who nodded, and Molly accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you for your gift."

Three days later, Molly returned to Beijing. It was already dark when she got home. She took a shower, ate something, went to her room, and held Ji Yi and the other children in her arms. Finally, she felt at ease.

Ji Hefeng was a step slower than her. When he returned to the room, he saw his wife showering their children's faces with kisses. Ji Hefeng immediately felt a pang of jealousy. "You never do this to me."

Molly: "You didn't come out of my belly."

Ji Hefeng: "......."

I slept without any dreams.

When Molly woke up, Ji Yi and six others were lying on her, drinking milk.

Seeing Molly open her eyes, Ji Yi immediately took the bottle away and accused, "Mommy is bad."

Molly was both amused and exasperated. She gently rubbed her angry and aggrieved face. "Yes, it's Mommy who's bad."

"Mommy isn't bad." Ji Er pounced on Molly, hugged her face, and smeared her face with saliva.

The other four also surrounded them, jostling and shoving each other, and started fighting.

After not seeing them for a few days, Molly noticed that their fighting skills had improved. In addition to biting and scratching, they could now throw punches.

"Did you teach him?" Molly asked Ji Hefeng.

Ji Hefeng nodded, "I taught them. My child, you can't fight like a shrew."

Having been away from home for over ten days, Molly planned to stay home with her children and not go anywhere else. She stayed close to them, and even when Aunt Ji gave her the four boxes of jewelry, she didn't have time to look at them, instead having Ji Hefeng keep them for her, along with the box of gold jewelry.

"Mo He called a few days ago; it seems she needs to talk to you about something," said Mrs. Ji.

“Then I’ll go see her tomorrow,” Molly said.

The next day, Molly went to the cake shop with her six children.

The cake shop was still doing very well. Molly took her six children upstairs to the second floor, where there were tables and chairs.

"Do Ji Yi and the others want to eat small cakes or bread?" Mo He asked.

“Bake bread for them,” Molly said.

Molly and the children had just sat down when Moho brought up a plate of toast.

"Freshly baked taro bread and red bean bread, have a taste!" Mohe said.

"Thank you, Auntie," the children said cheerfully.

"Oh my, what a good girl, such a sweet little mouth." Mo He distributed bread to the children, and gave Molly two as well.

"My mother-in-law said you needed to talk to me?" Molly said, picking up a piece of bread and taking a bite. The aroma of wheat and taro filled her mouth, and her eyes lit up. It was delicious.

"It's a call from Xiaonan Village." Mo He hesitated for a moment.

Molly: "Who is it?"

"Aunt Guihua." Mo He remembered that her younger sister had a good relationship with Aunt Guihua's family, otherwise she wouldn't have helped Aunt Guihua pass on the message.

Molly was surprised. What did Aunt Guihua want with her?

Mo He: "Aunt Guihua didn't say what she wanted to talk to you about, but I could tell from the phone call that she wasn't feeling well. Why don't you call her back? I have the town's phone number here."

Xiaonan Village has just had its power lines installed, but not its telephone lines; to make a phone call, you have to go to the town.

Molly: "Give me the town's phone number."

Mo He took out a piece of paper; she had been carrying this phone number with her for the past few days.

Molly called back to town, and the people in town went to the village to inform Aunt Guihua. Molly thought she wouldn't receive a call from Aunt Guihua until tomorrow, but Aunt Guihua called that evening.

“Aunt Guihua, I’m Molly,” Molly said.

"Molly~" Aunt Guihua's voice choked with emotion, "I had no other choice but to come to you."

Molly's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

Aunt Guihua: "It's your brother Jian'an, something happened to him."

Zhao Jian'an had an accident; he broke his leg and became lame, forcing him to change careers. He took a job as a security guard at a food factory, but the factory went bankrupt after only a month.

The series of setbacks left Zhao Jian'an disheartened.

But the story didn't end there. Because of his leg injury and the loss of his job, his girlfriend broke up with him.

After a series of blows, Zhao Jian'an locked himself in his room and didn't go out day or night.

When Aunt Guihua saw him like this, she felt sorry for him and helpless, so she had no choice but to go to Molly.
