Chapter 71 Encountering obstacles
The next morning, the Zhu family called and agreed to cancel the engagement.
Old Master Ji immediately called and told Ji Yanting the good news, "The Zhu family has agreed to cancel the engagement."
"Yeah." Ji Yanting responded indifferently. He was resentful of his father. If it weren't for him, he and Xuemei and Yaoyao wouldn't have been separated for so many years, and Xuemei and Yaoyao wouldn't have suffered so much for so many years. "Yanting
, are you still blaming me?" Old Master Ji knew that he was wrong, but his starting point was good.
"Of course I blame you." Ji Yanting's voice unconsciously rose eight degrees. "If it weren't for you, how could Xuemei and I be separated for so many years? Yaoyao wouldn't have been without a father since she was a child. Do you know how much they have suffered in these years?"
Ji Yanting's mind flashed with the picture of Xuemei and Yaoyao, mother and daughter, relying on each other, and his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.
"Yanting, ah~ forget it." Grandpa Ji didn't want to explain more. Anyway, the matter was over now. Whether his son blamed him or hated him, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Grandpa Ji put down the phone and instructed Uncle Liu beside him: "Old Liu, arrange a few people to help me move my things to the western suburbs." After this lesson, he didn't want to interfere in his sons' affairs in the future. Anyway, his children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so he should worry less and enjoy his old age. Ji
Yanting hung up the phone and saw Ling Xuemei standing at the door. He forced a smile and walked forward, "Did I scare you?"
Ling Xuemei shook her head and reached out to hold Ji Yanting's hand, "Yanting, thank you!" She heard what was just said, and she was really moved.
Ji Yanting took Ling Xuemei into his arms and gazed at her tenderly, "No one can separate us in the future." Even if that person is his father.
Ling Yao came back from school and saw her parents hugging each other. She smiled and turned to the yard to collect the herbs that were drying.
Hearing the noise outside, Ling Xuemei shyly pushed Ji Yanting away, "Yaoyao is back, you should be serious."
Ji Yanting smiled and let go of Ling Xuemei, whispering in her ear, "Then can I sleep with you tonight?"
Ling Xuemei's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt, and she glared at Ji Yanting coquettishly, "I won't pay attention to you." Ji Yanting is really getting more and more coquettish as he gets older.
After dinner, Ji Yanting looked at Ling Yao seriously, "Yaoyao, I have something to discuss with you."
"Yeah." Ling Yao put down her chopsticks and looked at Ji Yanting.
"I plan to have another wedding with your mother in July, when you will just finish the college entrance examination. Do you have any opinions? Feel free to raise them." He originally wanted to do it earlier, but his daughter was about to take the college entrance examination, and he couldn't affect her, so he decided to set the wedding date on July 18th. He asked someone to check and that day was a good day.
"It's fine, I have no opinion." These days, her mother has a happy smile on her face every day, and she seems to be younger. She knows that all this is because of her father. It was he who made her mother regain happiness and joy. So as long as her mother is happy, that's enough.
"Do you have any special ideas for the wedding? I want to give your mother the most perfect wedding." Ji Yanting has already sent people to prepare, but he still wants to hear his daughter's opinion.
Ling Yao thought about it seriously, "I'll think about it first, and then I'll write you a detailed plan, you can refer to it." After all, it was her parents' wedding, and as a daughter, she naturally had to contribute. She hoped to make this wedding more perfect.
"Okay." Ji Yanting smiled brightly, looking at Ling Yao with eyes full of pampering and love.
The two chatted casually.
Ji Yanting was surprised to find that Ling Yao was better than he thought. She had a quick mind, unique and profound ideas, and profound knowledge. It seemed that he could see infinite possibilities in her.
"What are you two talking about? So happy?" Ling Xuemei walked in from outside. She had just finished seeing a patient.
"No." The father and daughter shook their heads in tacit understanding and laughed at the same time. They planned to give her a surprise then.
"Okay, now you are all teaming up to bully me." Ling Xuemei deliberately frowned and pretended to be angry. But she was happy in her heart. Yaoyao could chat so happily with Yan Ting, which showed that she had accepted him as a father.
The father and daughter quickly got up and walked to Ling Xuemei's side.
"How could that be? You are the most important person to me, how could I bear to bully you?" Ji Yanting coaxed gently.
"Mom, I love you the most." Ling Yao kissed Ling Xuemei on the face.
Ling Xuemei looked at the father and daughter with helplessness and amusement, "I really can't do anything about you!" The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, overflowing with a happy and sweet smile.
On Sunday, Ling Yao brought Zhao Kun to Hongqi Village. She had already told the village chief that she planned to rent the mountain behind the village to grow Chinese medicine.
When they arrived at the village committee, the village chief and the director of the village committee were already waiting for them.
"Ling Yao, do you really want to rent the whole mountain?" The village chief still didn't believe that such a big pie would fall into their village, after all, the surrounding villages also had mountains.
Ling Yao nodded, took out the contract and handed it to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, please take a look at the contract first."
The village chief took the contract and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of surprise and excitement, "Ling Yao, you are really a lucky star for our village. I thank you on behalf of the villagers of Hongqi Village."
Ling Yao smiled faintly, "Uncle village chief has taken care of my mother and me over the years. Now I am just doing some things within my ability. Uncle village chief, don't take it to heart."
The village chief smiled so hard that
he couldn't close his mouth. "Then let's sign the contract now."
"Okay, no problem."
The village chief picked up the pen and was about to sign the contract when a burst of noise came from outside.
"Village chief, we don't agree to develop the mountain into a Chinese medicine base."
"Yes, if you develop it into a Chinese medicine base, what about the fruit trees planted on my mountain?"
The village chief frowned, put down his pen, walked out of the office, and coldly scanned the villagers in front of him who were making trouble.
Finally, his eyes fell on the middle-aged woman standing in the front. The other party was Zhang Dahua, a famous "gossip woman" in the village. She always liked to gossip about others and stir up their relationships. She was very annoying.
"Zhang Dahua, why are you everywhere?"
"Village chief, I heard that you want to develop the mountain into a Chinese medicine base. This is our mountain. You can't just develop it!" Zhang Dahua relied on the support of the villagers behind her and was full of confidence.
"Zhang Dahua, don't be unreasonable. The mountain is the collective property of the village, not just yours. Besides, I developed the Chinese medicine base for the economic development of the village and for the benefit of everyone. Don't think that you can occupy this mountain just because you planted a few fruit trees." The village chief said unceremoniously.
"Village chief, what are you talking about? The fruit trees I planted are also the fruits of my labor. If you develop the mountain into a Chinese medicine base, what will happen to my fruit trees? Unless you compensate me." Zhang Dahua's eyes flashed with a calculating light.
