Chapter 32: Separation 5
"My sister-in-law said you have something to talk to me about? What is it?"
The gaze shifted to Ji's mother, and Ji Zheng directly stated his purpose.
Mother Ji and Father Ji looked at each other, then hesitantly said, "Is He An's illness better this morning?"
"What did the doctor say?" Ji's father also asked.
"It's just a normal fever. It's gone now. It's not serious."
When the two heard this, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Ji Zheng say, "But he has been in poor health in recent years. The doctor said he needs to take good care of himself for a few years."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, Ji's father spoke up: "Your second sister-in-law is pregnant, and Yuan'er will take part in the provincial examination in a few days..."
So what? What does this have to do with him? Ji Zheng rolled his eyes in his heart again.
After she finished speaking, seeing that Ji Zheng had no reaction, Ji's mother stepped out and said, "There is not much money left in the family. After deducting these two expenses, there is almost no money left..."
Ji Zheng nodded, said nothing, and waited for them to continue.
"I have discussed it with your father and decided to send He An back to her parents' home. When your younger brother passes the imperial examination, if you are still willing, you can bring her back. If not, I will find you another wife."
Ji's mother finished speaking in one breath, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare look at Ji Zheng. But thinking that Ji Zheng liked girls before, she calmed down and her eyes became firm.
After hearing this, Ji Zheng finally understood what it meant to laugh out loud. Shuang'er who was divorced almost never had a good ending. By saying this, weren't they just asking Ji and An to die in disguise?
He understood the Ji family's approach, but could not accept it. After all, who said that the protagonist of this matter was his Ji Hean?
"I am still young and may not pass the provincial examination. Why don't you give us the money first?" Ji Zheng retorted.
"Yuan'er is so smart, how could he fail? It's just twins. When your little brother passes the imperial examination, I'll give you as many as you want to marry!"
The first half of Ji's father's words were full of pride towards Ji Yuan, while the second half was spoken in a tone of condescension and disdain.
Ji Zheng was very angry. He closed his eyes and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. "I don't agree!"
Anyway, as long as he doesn't give in, Ji He'an will never be sent back. After all, their marriage has been approved by the government.
"Third brother, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you also have to consider the overall situation and wait until I graduate from high school..."
"Shut up!" Ji Zheng couldn't get angry with Ji's father and mother due to filial piety, but he didn't want to tolerate it with his younger brother Ji Yuan.
It is natural for parents to teach their children, and it is also natural for an elder brother to teach his younger brother.
"You are the least qualified person to say this to me. You are the one who spends the most money in the family!" Ji Yuan's face turned pale and blue.
Ji Zheng didn't care and continued, "Now you want to sacrifice my interests in exchange for your future. You still have the nerve to say that I don't care about the overall situation. I think you are the selfish one..."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Zheng was slapped in the face by his father.
"He's your brother!"
Ji's father worked hard all year round, so naturally his hands were very strong. He was angry when he slapped Ji Zheng, and there was no doubt that a very obvious palm print appeared on Ji Zheng's face.
"Old man, why did you hit him?" Mother Ji looked at Ji Zheng, who had a gloomy face, and then looked at Father Ji, who also had a gloomy face. She didn't know what to do for a moment.
Although Ji Zheng said that she was not happy about Ji Yuan either, after all, the child was so old and was still being beaten. She felt that Ji's father had gone too far.
At this time, Ji's father also reacted, with some regret in his eyes. He just felt that Ji Zheng was not obedient at all and that his authority as an elder was challenged.
Ji Zheng looked at them and sneered. The biggest characteristic of him was that he would take revenge for any slight, and he was the kind of person who would take revenge on the spot.
Since you favor your younger son so much, let him bear the consequences for you.
Finding the right time, he slapped Ji Yuan with his backhand with great force. Ji Yuan had never worked since he was a child and was very thin, so Ji Zheng knocked him over immediately with this slap.
"Yuan'er!" Ji's mother screamed and rushed to Ji Yuan, "Yuan'er, how are you?"
Father Ji was completely furious this time. The guilt in his eyes disappeared instantly, leaving only anger.
In the presence of the elders, Ji Zheng actually hit Ji Yuan so openly, "You unfilial son! You..."
"Where am I unfilial? I'm just teaching my brother a lesson, what's wrong with that?"
Father Ji was stumped by the question, and the words in his mouth stagnated for a while. After a long time, he continued: "Then tell me how your brother offended you?"
"He wants me to divorce my husband and give him money to study. Isn't this worth a lesson for me?"
Father Ji's face immediately turned green, and he was left speechless by these words.
"Third brother, that's not what I meant." Ji Yuan covered his face and was supported by Ji's mother. His tone and expression seemed very aggrieved.
Seeing his green tea look, Ji Zheng sneered and asked directly, "Did I misunderstand you? So you are willing to not play this year and save the money for the family, right?"
"I... am not...."
I didn't expect Ji Zheng to be so sharp-tongued. Ji Yuan was speechless and finally turned his attention to Ji's father.
"Third boy, wouldn't you also benefit if your brother passed the exam? Why can't you understand it?" Ji's mother also came out to persuade him.
Hearing this, Ji Zheng only found it funny and ironic. He couldn't understand it. Most of the money that the original owner had handed in over the years was given to Ji Yuan for his studies. This was what Ji Yuan owed the original owner, and it was also what the original owner deserved.
Even Ji's mother's PUA skills are not good enough in front of Ji Zheng.
Looking at the smile on Ji Zheng's face, Ji's mother felt inexplicably guilty.
"Anyway, I don't agree with divorcing my husband!" Ji Zheng said word by word. He didn't want to argue with them anymore.
Hearing Ji Zheng's decisive tone, everyone fell silent.
Father Ji narrowed his narrow eyes, sighed, and said as if he had made a difficult decision, "Then let's split up the family."
"Old man!"
"father!?"
The voices of Ji Yuan and Ji's mother rang out at the same time, one was surprised and the other was encouraging.
