Chapter 85 Jingui's Son
Zhong Qiao's heart was filled with alarm.
She knew there was no free lunch in the world, so she let them get in the car and waited here.
Thinking of how her grandfather and the others had mentioned that she had rejected him in college, and how her aunts had used her name to humiliate the Ji family, Zhong Qiao broke out in a cold sweat, soaking the back of her clothes.
She was not a fool. She had been good friends with Ji Hebai since childhood, so naturally Ji Hebai could only ask about the marriages between the two families.
But Zhong Qiao still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
"What?" The main player didn't understand.
Ji Hebai glanced at her in the rearview mirror.
Be straightforward and get straight to the point.
"Don't you want to say something?"
"Our two families used to have a good relationship, especially my grandfather and your grandfather, who were close friends regardless of age."
Zhong Qiao was silent for a moment.
Grandpa told her everything from beginning to end.
Although her action was unintentional, it did indirectly hurt Ji Hebai and the old man of the Ji family.
In particular, my grandfather said that Mr. Ji liked her very much. He was able to engage his most beloved grandson to her and even wrote the gold-plated marriage certificate himself. This was enough to show how much the old man valued their marriage.
After all, Zhong Qiao owed their family an explanation.
Zhong Qiao glanced at Jin Gui beside him and found that she seemed to have been frightened and fell into a deep sleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ji Hebai, there is a misunderstanding about this matter."
Zhong Qiao explained the whole story one by one without favoring any party.
However, when Ji Hebai heard this, there was no surprise on his face, as if he had known it for a long time.
Only after Zhong Qiao finished speaking with a dry mouth did Ji Hebai slowly say, "I want to say, is Xu Shaojun really better than me?"
Zhong Qiao's voice stopped abruptly, and he hummed in a daze, full of doubts.
Ji Hebai repeated: "Xu Shaojun, your ex-husband, is he really better than me?"
Although he didn't understand what he was struggling with, Zhong Qiao thought about it carefully and realized that Ji Hebai was the most outstanding young man in the Ji family and should not have suffered any setbacks or blows since childhood.
The only setback and blow I ever suffered was when I was rejected in public and accidentally cuckolded.
Zhong Qiao expressed his understanding.
She thought for a moment and gave an honest assessment: "He's about the same height as you, but not as pretty as you, nor does he have a higher education or a better family background than you."
Ji Hebai withdrew his gaze, hummed lightly, and stopped talking.
Zhong Qiao was completely confused by his action.
There was no conversation along the way as the car drove into Dahe Village.
Dahe Village is mostly inhabited by left-behind elderly people and children. When the villagers who were working hard on the roadside looked up and saw such a huge black vehicle for the first time, they screamed in fright.
Looking again, the black behemoth drove into Dahe Village and headed towards Jingui's house. The elderly man's first reaction was that the Japanese devils had invaded the village.
After all, this black behemoth is somewhat similar in shape to a tank.
The villagers reacted immediately.
"Oh no! Go find Xiao Mantou's mother!"
"Are you confused?" someone cursed. "Jin Gui left early this morning, and now there's only a small steamed bun left at home. Where are you going to find it?"
"What should we do?" Someone hurried to Jingui's house in a panic, "Hurry and find Aunt He! Little Mantou is their only grandson. If anything happens to him, their family line will be cut off!"
For a backward mountain village, cutting off the incense is the biggest sin, which is tantamount to disrespecting the ancestors. Even if they are buried in the earth, they will not be able to rest in peace and will not be included in the family tree.
Zhong Qiao and his friends had no idea what kind of earth-shaking commotion this trip would bring to Dahe Village, but they woke up Jingui who had fainted from motion sickness.
Jin Gui was still a little confused at this moment. She supported her head and got up, but found that she was still in the black iron box. Her face suddenly changed.
The black iron box was tightly sealed, just like the coffin, and it made her feel sick to her stomach.
Zhong Qiao saw that her face was not right and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Jingui was on the verge of tears: "My chest and back hurt, my head hurts, and I always feel nauseous and dizzy, and I can't breathe."
As soon as Zhong Qiao heard it, he knew that she was carsick.
She subconsciously called out to Ji Hebai: "Hurry up and roll down the window."
Ji Hebai didn't hesitate at all and rolled down the car window almost the next second after Zhong Qiao spoke.
As the car window opened, a rapid whirring sound was heard, and fresh air was blown into the narrow space. Jin Gui leaned against the car window almost greedily, took two big breaths, and the discomfort disappeared a little.
Entering Dahe Village, there were no obstacles on the road, with mud houses on both sides. Zhong Qiao did not stop her. After Jin Gui recovered a little, he said, "We're already in Dahe Village. Where is your home?"
Jingui took a few breaths, took a look, and was stunned.
It would take her at least two hours to walk on her own two feet, but she just sat in this black coffin and dozed off for a while, and she actually arrived home?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhong Qiao couldn't help but urge her: "Jin Gui?"
Jingui uttered a few "ohs" before responding, "It's just down the alley, turn left."
Ji Hebai didn't say anything. He looked at the alley she mentioned, frowned, and the next second he stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Qiao poked his head out in confusion. Wasn't it time yet?
"The alley is too narrow, we can't get through." Ji Hebai said in a cold voice. He got out of the car, opened the door, and looked down at Zhong Qiao with an indescribable heat in his eyes. "You can get out now."
Zhong Qiao failed to notice his ambiguous expression and got out of the car with Jin Gui. However, as a bystander, Jin Gui caught all of Ji Hebai's eyes and small movements.
She swallowed and followed Zhong Qiao closely, afraid of losing a step.
The three of them walked on the muddy ground through the alley for about 3 minutes.
Jingui pointed to a spot ahead with surprise and said, "Here we are."
Zhong Qiao followed the direction of her finger and saw a small, short house standing precariously in the cold wind. It was made of red bricks and earth blocks, with the earthen walls covered with weeds and moss, and the wooden windows covered with cobwebs.
Following the entrance, the ground was still wet.
A small figure rushed over, still crying, "Mom, Mom, why did you come back just now?"
"I won't be able to find you once I wake up."
He was a little boy of seven or eight years old. His clothes didn't fit him well, but they were clean.
He has thin arms and legs, and the hair on his head is a little yellow due to malnutrition.
Zhong Qiao's eyes lit up.
This little boy is so handsome.
It’s hard to imagine that he is a child from the village.
She has a pretty face, fair skin, and regular features, especially her eyes. She has very long eyelashes. Although she has single eyelids, her eyes are big and bright.
Jingui picked him up and comforted him gently: "Little Mantou, Mom is back, don't be afraid."
This heartwarming scene made Zhong Qiao, who also has a child, feel a lump in her throat and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
However, before they could react, noisy voices were heard outside the door, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Little Mantou's mother, don't be afraid, everyone is here!"
"Everyone inside, listen up! Quickly release Jingui and Xiao Mantou!"
“…”
