Ji Chen coldly stared at the aggrieved Ji Dong, "Weren't they good friends? They used to eat and live together, almost as close as brothers."
Xie Xiaotian and Liu Aiyue blushed instantly. They wished they could disappear into the ground. The two of them were now a complete mess, and they looked at each other as if they wanted to strangle each other.
"Brother, that's their business. I'm innocent. I've really had a hard time. You know how I work outside. I have a herniated disc and can't do heavy work." Ji Dong was so aggrieved that he almost shed a few tears.
“Okay.” Ji Chen readily agreed.
Liu Aiyue stared at Ji Chen with shining eyes. Even if Jiang Xue was difficult to get along with, it was still much better than being with Xie Xiaotian. At least Liu Aiyue could intuitively feel that Jiang Xue would never do something like urinating on her bedding.
"Okay, thank you, brother. I'll pack Mom's things right away." Ji Dong happily picked up the bedding from the floor.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Although Ji Chen spoke calmly, a terrifying atmosphere permeated his entire being.
Ji Dong swallowed hard, his hand hovering in mid-air, his heart pounding with tension. He didn't know what kind of conditions Ji Chen would propose.
“Ji Dong, come live in my room. They’re getting along well, so let them stay together. You can stay at my place, but you can’t eat mine or eat my food. I’m not your father, and I don’t need to support a parasite like you.”
Without a second thought, Ji Dong threw the bedding that was hanging in mid-air onto the ground. "Brother, I'll move it over right now."
Ji Chen coldly glanced at Liu Aiyue and Xie Xiaotian. They had brought this upon themselves, so they should just suffer the consequences. They had even tried to ruin his marriage before. Suddenly, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. This hatred stemmed from the fact that Jiang Xue still held a grudge against him and had completely severed ties with him. He would hold these two responsible for this.
Ji Chen asked Ji Dong to sleep in his room, not for any other reason than that he knew Ji Dong was a simple-minded guy with degenerate limbs. If those two angered him, Ji Chen was worried that the brainless guy might commit a serious mistake and end up in jail or something, which would completely ruin the person.
As the eldest brother, he couldn't completely wash his hands of the matter. As long as no one died, he wouldn't interfere with anything else.
Aunt Wang came over with several workers. "Jiang Xue, come out and take a look. These are the workers I found for you."
Jiang Xue quickly put down the sesame seed cake in her hand, "Okay, Aunt Wang, you can teach them how to do the work later."
Jiang Xue glanced at the crowd. Aunt Wang had indeed done as she had instructed. One of the girls was pretty and delicate, with a charming and refined appearance. She was wearing a floral dress and had two braids.
Jiang Xue stared at the girl thoughtfully, thinking to herself that it probably wouldn't be so easy for this girl to replace Gu Xiaoling. She was always good at judging people, and she had a feeling that this girl had some ulterior motives.
"Jiang Xue, this is the girl I found after searching through several villages. She graduated from junior high school. Her name is Wang Jing." Aunt Wang nudged Wang Jing. "Say hello."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Jiang Xue glanced at Wang Jing and said, "You and Aunt Wang are from the same clan, so you're either her niece or her cousin." Jiang Xue knew that almost everyone in the surrounding villages was related to each other, and since transportation wasn't convenient these days, several villages were connected by relatives.
Jiang Xue was very wary of having relatives work with her. Aunt Wang usually worked hard, but she didn't know what kind of person Wang Jing was. If she didn't perform well, Jiang Xue felt she would have to consider personal relationships even if she asked her to fire her.
