Chapter 89 Ji Ping's Secret
Just when Chu Xuan was hesitating whether to avoid him, Ji Ping saw her and greeted her warmly, "Chu Xuan, come in!"
Chu Xuan smiled awkwardly, "Did I interrupt your conversation?"
Ji Ping responded simply, "No."
Sheng Damei, with a bruised face and nose, said, "That's right. Chu Xuan, you came at the wrong time! Why are you nowhere to be found?"
Without waiting for Chu Xuan to speak, Ji Ping glared at Sheng Damei angrily, "If you can't speak, then shut up!"
He turned to look at Chu Xuan and immediately put on a smile, "Ignore her, let's go to the main hall to discuss things."
"good."
Chu Xuan wanted to walk towards the main hall.
Sheng Damei opened her arms and stopped her. "Why can you come into the main hall to talk, but I can't? You two should talk in the yard! How can a man and a woman be alone in the same room? Aren't you afraid of the rumors in the village?"
Chu Xuan was amused by her. How could a woman with such no bottom line like her have the nerve to say such things?
Ji Ping kicked Sheng Damei's butt without any hesitation. "Looking for trouble, huh? Aren't you waiting for payment? Chu Xuan is here to settle the bill with me! Get out of here!"
When Sheng Damei heard that there was money, she didn't care about the pain and said, "Then you two should go into the main room and settle the bill."
Get out of the way.
Chu Xuan walked into the main room, took out a thick stack of 1,200 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ji Ping.
"1200 yuan, count it."
"Okay." Ji Ping took it and counted it quickly. After confirming that it was correct, he spoke again, "Yes, it's 1,200 yuan."
Chu Xuan pulled out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket, flipped it open, and pointed to a page. "Please sign and put your fingerprint on the payment settlement column."
As he spoke, he took out a small box of ink from his pocket, which he had just bought from the county town.
Ji Ping didn't think it was unnecessary, and it would be better to be more formal.
Sign and fingerprint readily.
Chu Xuan put away the ink pad and the small notebook, "What's going on between you and Sheng Damei?"
Ji Ping sighed, "If you hadn't caught me, I would never have mentioned it in my life. She is my half-sister. The villagers only know that my family is an outsider, but they don't know that my father had an affair with her mother before he divorced her."
"Later, my parents divorced, and my father married her mother, settled down in our village, and gave birth to her. My mother remarried with me and instigated my adoptive father to settle down in our village as well. My biological father didn't allow me to call him dad, and I didn't want to call him dad either. I only called my adoptive father dad."
"We've lived here for over a decade. Our two families never acknowledged their relationship, but we were always secretly competing. A few years ago, my biological father passed away, and my mother and adoptive father returned to their hometown in the county and bought a new house, leaving this yard and fishing boat to me."
"When Shengda Mei's family was struggling, they would come to me to ask for money. I put forward a condition: she must not reveal my relationship with her..."
Chu Xuan only now understood why Ji Ping earned a lot of money in his previous life but did not live a good life. It turned out that Sheng Damei and her mother helped him spend all the money.
"You're always helping them. When will it stop? Why don't you help them find a way to make a living?"
"It's not that I haven't thought about it, I even gave them money, but in the end they were lazy and didn't accomplish anything."
Having said that, Ji Ping counted out two hundred yuan, put the rest of the money in his pocket, and walked out of the main room.
Sheng Damei hurried forward and asked, "Can you give me the money now?"
Before Ji Ping could hand over the money, Sheng Damei had already snatched it away and counted it. "Is that all? Isn't it 1,200 yuan? You have to give me half, at least?"
Ji Ping was a little impatient. "It's not just me who earns the fish. The rest of the money has to be sent to other families, and there's also the maintenance fee for the boat. If you're not satisfied, I'll take back a hundred!"
"Don't worry!" Sheng Damei quickly put the money into her pocket.
Chu Xuan then realized that the fines Sheng Damei paid to the security team and the compensation for her lost wages were all from Ji Ping's money.
Ji Ping is so stupid, does he have to care about such a person?
Sheng Damei was afraid that the money she had earned would be taken back, so she said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Chu Xuan looked at Ji Ping with a puzzled look on his face. "Why do you care about them? Don't tell me you do it for the sake of your deceased father."
Ji Ping said nothing, clenching and unclenching his fists.
Chu Xuan coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm nosy. Everyone has their own secrets, and I shouldn't have dug too deep. I'm sorry! You go ahead and do your work. I'll go home."
"Wait a minute!" During this period of time, Ji Ping had already regarded Chu Xuan as a friend. Not to mention the delicious meal that day, just the summer-heat-relieving soup or dampness-removing soup he drank when he went to her house to deliver fish every day was enough to make him feel warm.
Seeing that Ji Ping was hesitant to speak, Chu Xuan stood there and waited patiently.
Maybe Ji Ping wants to find someone to talk to.
He brought two chairs and handed one to Chu Xuan. They sat in the shade of the yard and chatted.
After this conversation, Chu Xuan realized that Ji Ping was not helping Sheng Damei and her mother for no reason.
When Ji Ping was nine years old, he went fishing without telling his biological mother and adoptive father. He was so focused on catching shrimps that he forgot about the high tide.
It was Li Qin, Sheng Damei's biological mother, who had already rushed to the shore. Seeing that he was submerged up to his knees in the tide, she shouted at him to run back while running over to save him.
If it weren't for Li Qin that day, Ji Ping might have been swallowed by the sea.
Ji Ping didn't dare tell his mother about this when he got home.
His mother heard about it from someone else, and beat him up when she got home, but she didn't go to thank Li Qin.
After that, he and Li Qin had no more contact.
It was not until he lived alone that Sheng Damei came to him for help.
At that time, Li Qin was very ill and had no money to see a doctor, so she told Sheng Damei that she had a half-brother.
Ever since he gave Sheng Damei the first money, Sheng Damei would come to his house every once in a while to ask for money.
Li Qin's condition was getting better and worse. Ji Ping secretly took her to the county hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was cancer. It was a miracle that she was still alive. She could die at any time.
Chu Xuan remembered that in her previous life, Li Qin had indeed died of cancer, this year. By then, Sheng Damei had already married Accountant Wen, so she wasn't dragging Ji Ping down anymore.
Sheng Damei is single in this life, and once her mother dies, she will most likely rely on Ji Ping.
By then, Ji Ping will have a headache.
Chu Xuan didn't expect that by helping Accountant Wen, she would indirectly cause trouble for Ji Ping.
"Ji Ping, we have to find a way to correct Sheng Damei's temper. If she continues like this, she will become a bad woman."
Ji Ping spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do. "You saw it too. It's useless for me to beat her up. Thinking about what she did, I really want to slap her to death."
Getting pregnant before marriage not only destroyed one family's marriage, but also made things difficult for Accountant Wen, hoping to make him a father.
You are ruining your body by doing this now, and it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again in the future.
The possibility of getting married is extremely small, unless she goes to another place to develop and finds a family she doesn't know about.
Chu Xuan glanced at his watch. He still had time to go fishing. "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll think carefully over the next few days about how to guide Sheng Damei onto the right path."
"Thank you! I'll think about it. By the way, Chen Ze also knows about this. Let's prepare a table of food and sit down to discuss this matter someday."
"good."
Chu Xuan said goodbye and left.
It turned out that Mu Chenze knew about this and had been hiding it from her in his previous life.
He deserved to be kept in the dark about it. Was it because she and him were not on the same page in her previous life?
I wonder how his shirts are selling?
I was thinking about something as I walked towards home, not paying attention to where I was stepping.
He stepped on a pile of horse manure, slipped, and fell backward.
I thought, this is the end. With this tonnage, if the back of my head hits the ground, I will either die on the spot or suffer brain death.
Could it be that God was not satisfied with her rebirth this time and wanted to give her another chance to die and be reborn again...
