Chapter 31 The Cao family snatched the piglets

The Ji family courtyard.

Cao Hao jumped onto the stone table like a small landlord, slammed the tree branch in his hand hard on the stone bench, and shouted, "Ji Daming, Ji Xiaoming, your grandpa is here, quickly call me grandpa."

Ji Xiaoming glared angrily at him, and was about to rush forward when Grandma Ji grabbed his arm. Grandma Ji smiled and said, "You're all here? We're all from the same production team, neighbors. It's normal for kids to quarrel and fight..."

"What's normal about it?"

Cao Hao's mother, Lin Meili, spoke first, her voice shrill: "My whole family has never hit my Hao Hao, we wouldn't even lay a finger on him, why should we let your wild brat hit him?"

Ji Xiaoming said loudly, "It was Cao Hao who first insulted me by saying I had no mother and called me a pitiful wretch, so I started hitting him."

Lin Meili said sarcastically, "You don't have a mother. Everyone knows that your mother abandoned you and your brother and sister and ran back to the city. She doesn't want you anymore. She might have already remarried and had children. My son is right."

Ji Xiaoming grinned and said, "Say that again?"

Lin Meili pointed her long, pointed chin at Ji Xiaoming, who was half a head shorter than her: "What's wrong? You want to hit me? You wild thing, born of a mother but raised without one."

“We have a mother.”

With red eyes, Ji Daming spoke with restraint.

Lin Meili suddenly remembered that their target was Ersha, and said with a sneer, "Oh, I forgot, you have a mother. You went home with a man without getting a marriage certificate and still call yourself the child's mother. You have no shame. You are immoral and shameless. I feel ashamed to have relatives like that."

"You're not allowed to insult my mother!"

Ji Xiaoming was impulsive by nature. He struggled free from his grandmother's hand, picked up a stick from the ground, and rushed over.

In his memory, he didn't like his biological mother. After she ran away and abandoned him, he disliked her even more and only liked his new mother.

When he fought with Cao Hao, it was Wang Yuqing who stopped him. He would remember that for the rest of his life. Moreover, he was the one who caused the incident, so he would not allow anyone to scold Wang Yuqing.

Grandma Ji called out, "Come back..."

It was too late. When Ji Xiaoming rushed forward, he was pinned to the ground by several children from the Cao family, and no matter how much he struggled, it was no use.

Cao Hao jumped down and deliberately poked Ji Xiaoming's face with a tree branch, chuckling, "Oh, you're pretty good, aren't you? What, you want to hit my mom? Look at you, you little brat, haha."

"Let me go."

Ji Xiaoming struggled with all his might, but to no avail.

The adults in the Cao family pretended not to see it, and the people around whispered among themselves, but no one was willing to step forward and meddle.

Ji Daming's eyes were bloodshot as he angrily said, "Release my brother."

As he rushed forward, Cao Hao's father, Cao Nongguo, grabbed him and said, "You little bastard, you better behave yourself."

Grandma Ji couldn't see but she could hear. She was so anxious that tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "The children are young and don't understand. Please let them go. This old woman will apologize to you."

Lin Meili ignored her, but her mother-in-law Mao Chun spoke up: "Sister, this is not about apologizing or not. Your Ji family is bullying us too much. Ji Xiaoming sat on my Hao Hao and hit him. His body is covered in bruises."

"However..."

She grinned and said, "Considering you're older than me, and we're all from the same production team, I won't hold it against you for your son Xiaoming hitting my son Haohao. However, you'll have to pay some of the medical expenses..."

Grandma Ji had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Please, let the child go first."

Mao Chun was six or seven years younger than Grandma Ji. She was in good health, with an inverted triangle face and thin cheeks. With just one look from her, Ji Daming and Ji Xiaoming were released. When the two tried to rush forward again, Grandma Ji roared, "You two come back here!"

They had no choice but to return to Grandma Ji's side, their eyes fixed on the Cao family with hatred.

Mao Chun stretched his neck and placed his hands together on his abdomen: "We don't need much. We know your family can't afford any grain or money. Just give us your piglet as compensation."

Grandma Ji swayed, almost fainting, and stammered, "What? That...that's our family's life..."

Mao Chun had been eyeing the Ji family's pigs for a long time. She sneered, "Hao Hao is my lifeblood. Look at what your wild brat did to my Hao Hao. He's injured, and he hasn't eaten much these past few days. He's lost a lot of weight. It's just a piglet. I didn't even ask for more."

She waved her hand, and several men in the family rushed into the pigsty.

Ji Daming and Ji Xiaoming rushed forward to block them from touching the piglets inside. As a result, Cao Nongjun kicked each of them, sending the two brothers rolling on the ground in pain.

Grandma Ji panicked and groped her way forward, saying, "No, no, you can't take our pig away..."

Mao Chun stepped forward to block Grandma Ji. When Grandma Ji walked to the left, Mao Chun moved to the left to block her. When Grandma Ji walked to the right, Mao Chun moved to the right to block her. "Sister, you are blind and have old bones. Be careful. Don't fall and then blame my family."

Grandma Ji's wrinkled face was covered in tears, her withered lips trembled incessantly, and she was so angry that she couldn't utter a single word.

The pig seemed to know it was about to be captured by the villains, and struggled frantically, squealing loudly, but was eventually caught by several big men from the Cao family.

Cao Nongjun kicked the piglet's rear end hard and spat, "You bastard, like father, like son!"

Mao Chun sighed, "This isn't our fault. Blame your son for not raising him properly. This isn't the first time. He's always fighting with my son Cao Hao. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

More and more people gathered outside to watch the spectacle, some even fanning the flames, as they couldn't bear to see the Ji family's pigs thriving. Some were reluctant to intervene but dared not step forward.

Yuan Fang, in particular, was secretly smiling.

Liu Li wasn't much better off; she pulled a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket.

Zhao Si and his wife stood in the crowd, occasionally whispering to those around them. His wife, Qian Juan, said, "Such a big thing, where is Ji Xuening hiding? The elderly and children at home have been bullied like this..."

She said, "How about I go and find him?"

Zhao Si glared at her fiercely: "You're such a busybody. Have you forgotten how the Ji family got me imprisoned for a year?"

Qian Juan muttered to herself, "Isn't it more interesting now that he's back?"

Mao Chun continued, "Let's just forget about this and call it even. However, the main purpose of our visit today is to find that Wang Sha Er."

Lin Meili looked around anxiously: "Where is he? Where did he go? Sha Er?"

Cao Hao complained, "Mom, that idiot Er even said I wasn't your son." He had forgotten to tell Lin Meili this when he went home to complain, and now that he had, he felt his mother would be even angrier.

Upon hearing this, Lin Meili panicked. Her face turned pale, and she secretly glanced at the bachelor in the crowd before quickly regaining her composure.

She roared, "You damned dog, you despicable bastard, you filthy slut who spews cow dung, how dare you spout nonsense here! I'm your aunt, for goodness' sake, you have absolutely no manners..."
