August of that year.
Yuan Xiao'e successfully gave birth to a son.
Because his wife had experienced a miscarriage last time, Ji Wufei stayed by her side every day, never leaving her side.
Ji Wufei might be stupid, but sometimes he does have some brains, though not much...
Anyway, he always stayed by Yuan Xiao'e's side, not letting anyone get close, for fear that his child would be lost. Even if it was Madam Ji San, he would not allow her to get close, always asking her to talk a few steps away.
Mrs. Ji San was also helpless about this.
When Xu Mingsong heard that Yuan Xiao'e had given birth to a son, he felt complicated.
I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Because he didn't know whether the child Xiao'e gave birth to was his or Ji Wufei's.
Maybe, it's his.
Or maybe, it was Ji Wufei's.
Who knows?
When Yuan's father and mother learned that their daughter had given birth to a son for the Ji family, they were overjoyed. However, because of Ji Wufei's obstruction, they had no chance to visit their daughter and grandson.
"This Ji Wufei, we are the child's grandparents, and he didn't even let us go to see him. This is really too much!" Yuan's mother was furious.
"Not letting us see our grandson is bad enough, but they even won't let us see our daughter!" The more she spoke, the angrier she became.
She wanted to go to Ji's house and make a scene, but was stopped by Yuan's father.
Yuan's father advised her not to make things more complicated and cause trouble for his daughter.
Yuan Xiao'e actually didn't want to see them, but she thought it was good that Ji Wufei was blocking them for her.
Looking at the baby in the cradle, she often asked herself: Do you belong to Mingsong, or... to that fat guy?
If it was Xu Mingsong's, she would like it very much.
If not...
She felt inexplicably hot.
Ji Wufeng heard that his sister-in-law had given birth to a fat son for his third brother. As the eldest brother, he also wanted to come and visit, but was stopped by Ji Wufei.
Ji Wufeng actually didn't want to acknowledge his brother's wife, but she had already given birth to his third brother's child, and his third brother didn't care about other women, so he reluctantly acknowledged her.
"Third brother, can I just take a look? After all, he is my nephew!" Ji Wufeng said.
Ji Wufei pushed him away, not letting him go into the house. "You can't look! You're not allowed to look! You're not allowed to look! My son, only I can see him! Go away! Go away! Go away!"
Ji Wufeng said: "I won't harm my nephew, so why is it wrong to just take a look?"
Ji Wufei continued to drive him away, "No means no! If you dare to look, I will no longer recognize you as my big brother!"
Ji Wufeng: “…”
In the end, he didn't see it.
I could only leave in silence.
Mrs. Ji San was also troubled by the matter of the third son.
She always felt that her son was bewitched by Yuan Xiao'e.
Originally, she wanted to use some means to make Yuan Xiao'e have a miscarriage.
However, the third brother watched her too closely, leaving her no chance at all.
"How could a bastard be born before the legitimate son even appears?" She was very angry. "Master, are you really going to turn a blind eye to this matter?"
Ji Changlin said, "Without a wife, how can there be any legitimate son? The third son is so mischievous that we can't control him even if we want to. You know his personality."
After taking a sip of tea, he continued, "Let's just have the baby. At least, this way, the third child won't be extinct. No matter who Yuan Xiao'e is or what her background is, it's not impossible to find someone to raise the child well in the future."
Madam Ji San said, "The third son's wife should at least have a decent family background, right? I don't ask for too high a profile; even an ordinary scholarly family would be fine! Who is Yuan Xiao'e? A country girl! What qualifications does she have to enter our Ji Mansion?"
Once, she wanted to "get rid of" Yuan Xiao'e secretly.
However, Yuan Xiao'e was too cautious and had the protection of the third brother, so some of her actions failed.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying more." Ji Changlin said calmly, "For me, as long as the third brother is happy, that's all that matters. I don't care who he marries!"
Anyway, in the future, the Ji family business will not be inherited by the third son.
His expectation for the third child is that he can live a peaceful and happy life, which is enough.
As for the rest, he had no expectations.
Mrs. Ji San knew that it was useless to say these things to her husband, and in anger, she was too lazy to say anything more.
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
This year passed quickly.
The chaos in Daxu was also gradually suppressed.
Niu Jiashi has been on the run and has become a wanted criminal.
After all, he participated in the rebellion and killed an official.
Now that the rebel forces are gradually defeated, he will inevitably be liquidated.
So, he had no choice but to escape.
On the way to escape with him, Niu Li fell ill.
Niu Jiashi thought his mother was a burden, so he abandoned Niu Li and ran away.
Niu Li was so upset that she could not even cry.
However, Niu Li's vitality was tenacious. Although she was abandoned by her son, she did not die. Moreover, her illness miraculously and gradually improved.
Because the officers and soldiers did not recognize her as Niu Jiashi's mother, even if they met her on the road, they just treated her as a refugee and did not arrest her.
After that, she followed the group of refugees and begged everywhere.
That day, she drifted to a place where there was a soup kitchen and lined up to get porridge.
"Niu Li?"
When it was her turn, suddenly a voice called her.
