Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Please don’t slander our people’s police…
Transmigrating into the unfavored eldest son, Ji Jianguo has always kept as much distance as possible from the original owner's elders and younger brother.
If they hadn't been pestering him and causing trouble in Lianqiao's snack bar, he wouldn't even want to reply to those letters.
But he didn't expect that these people would make trouble at his doorstep and even go to the Municipal Bureau to disturb Ji Yinhe!
Ji Jianguo put down his work, reported the situation to the director of the subdistrict office verbally, and rushed to the health center as soon as possible.
"...You have no conscience! You have the Ji family's blood flowing in your veins after all!"
As soon as Ji Jianguo walked into the infusion room, he heard this crying complaint.
On the hospital bed, Ji Chenghe was lying there with his eyes closed receiving an IV drip. Ji Yinhe was standing opposite him with his head down and not saying a word.
Two nurses couldn't stand it and came over to try to persuade them: "If you have anything to say, go back and talk. We have other patients here. You two are disturbing their rest by making such a fuss."
"I just made a scene, what's wrong? It's a good opportunity for everyone to judge!" Qian Fang turned and saw Ji Jianguo approaching. She immediately rushed over, pulling her henpecked husband with her. "Brother, I call you Brother! You and sister-in-law are really calculating. In all these years, have you ever spent a penny on the old man? Are you worthy of the Ji family?"
Ji Jianguo was baffled and looked down at Ji Chenghe. "Dad, you know best whether I gave you any money or not!"
Ji Chenghe closed his eyes and pretended to be dead without moving.
Everyone around understood what was going on. It turned out that Old Man Ji had embezzled all the money given by his eldest son!
"The old man didn't give it to us." Qian Fang's face turned a little ugly. "Then, you didn't ask Jianhua either! They say the eldest son is like his father. Jianhua failed in business, Junjie didn't get into university, and you guys are living a luxurious life in the city, but you don't even care about it..."
Ji Jianguo frowned, "Have you ever cared about Yinhe over the years?"
The infusion room was silent, and no one dared to breathe. Ji Jianhua pinched his wife's sleeve and shook it, "How about—"
"What the hell!" Qian Fang's expression changed rapidly. "It's not easy for us... Jianhua was laid off, I'm uneducated and can't make money, and I worked so hard to raise three children—"
"Ah?" Ji Yinhe, who had been silent the whole time, looked up blankly. "Uncle and aunt, why do I only hear you mention Ji Junjie?"
"..." Ji Jianhua coughed, "Junjie has two older sisters, both of whom are getting married. Unlike Junjie, he is the only heir of this generation in the Ji family!"
The air suddenly turned cold, and the aunties, grannies, young wives and girls around her all stared at Qian Fang with cold brows.
What era is this? The Chairman once said that it makes no difference whether you have a son or a daughter, and that women hold up half the sky. Every girl in Jiangtan can make a lot of money with her own hands. Why are there still people who bind their feet?
Qian Fang faced a circle of unfriendly eyes and stammered, "... Putting aside other things, we are all sons, why should we be the only ones to take care of the elderly!"
This seems to be true...Everyone's attention returned to Ji Jianguo.
Comrade Lao Ji rubbed his brows and said, "If you want money, I can give it to you, but living in my house is absolutely not allowed."
Ji Chenghe on the bed opened his eyes and started humming again.
Qian Fang raged, "Dad's lived in the countryside his whole life, and he just wants to live in an apartment building for once! ... My sister-in-law is so rich, and Yinhe has a job. Aren't police officers supposed to be on the sidelines? They make a pretty good living, right? Why can't you bring Dad home to enjoy a peaceful life?"
Ji Yinhe's expression was stern. "——Second Aunt, please don't slander our people's police!"
"Yinhe is right!" The crowd was pushed aside, and Lian Qiao, wearing a long coat and high-heeled boots, walked over with an overwhelming aura.
The boss is well-known on Heye Street for his bad temper, and he has dealt with many unreasonable customers over the years.
The onlookers quickly gave up the venue.
Lian Qiao put one hand on her waist, shielding her husband and daughter behind her. "If you had been so patriarchal back then, only letting Junjie go to school and not letting Yingzi and Tingting go, then her sisters would be working and earning money like Yinhe now, instead of getting married and having children at such a young age!"
"You..." Qian Fang felt like someone was strangling her throat and couldn't utter a word.
Ji Jianhua was shaking with anger. "What's wrong with Yingzi and Tingting? At least they've accomplished their life goals! Unlike your Yinhe, who's a police officer... be careful not to find a partner in the future!"
"None of your business! Galaxy can do whatever he wants!"
"I will support her for the rest of her life if we don't get married, so what?"
——Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo choked out at the same time.
Ji Yinhe looked at his parents with a little emotion, while Ji Jianhua and Qian Fang were shocked by their brother and sister-in-law's firm attitude in defending their daughter.
Ji Chenghe, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes and said, "Ah, Jianguo, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough, but Yinhe is an old maid. She will be laughed at!"
"... Enough talk, let's go." Ji Jianguo took out a few bills from his wallet and threw them on the bedside. "Dad, you can stay here as long as you want. You know how much money you've taken from me over the years. Don't force me to calculate every penny."
After saying that, he took his wife and daughter and strode out of the clinic.
The onlookers now understood what was going on.
After all, Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao's family have lived in Heye Street for so many years, and everyone knows the character of the three of them.
If they had not been pushed too hard by Old Man Ji and his youngest son and his wife, they would never have failed to support their elderly parents.
So they all chimed in, "Since the money has been paid, why not go back!" "That's right, don't waste the time of the three of them!" "We're still waiting to try Boss Lian's new product, let Xiao Ji keep us safe!" "Who knows where the money went? Maybe the old man gave it to his ex-lover!"
Qian Fang and Ji Jianhua recovered and asked, "Dad, how much has Big Brother given you over the years? Where's the money?"
"..." Ji Chenghe looked at his youngest son and daughter-in-law timidly, "It's not much. I asked someone to keep it for me..."
Qian Fang got angry when she heard this, and raised the briefcase in her hand, wanting to hit this old man who was full of lies.
Seeing this, Ji Jianhua quickly stopped them, "There are so many people here! How embarrassing! Let's go back and talk..."
"Okay, you didn't feel embarrassed when you ordered me to come to Big Brother and Sister-in-law to ask for an explanation, but now you feel embarrassed?" Qian Fang threw the bag at her husband's head. "I'm so unlucky to marry you!"
"Alright, alright, Jianhua, try to persuade Fang!" Ji Chenghe picked up the banknotes that Ji Jianguo had dropped from the bedside table with a gloomy look on his face. "How about I go back with you guys and take out all the money, okay?"
Qian Fang crossed her arms and said, "Junjie is still crying and making a fuss. Yingzi is watching him at home these past two days. When she returns to her in-laws' house, I have to accompany her!"
Ji Chenghe said: "...I can watch too."
"Come on! Last time, Junjie ran out to the park in the middle of the night, and you didn't care. He was fooling around in the outer room, and you were sleeping in the inner room like..."
After all, he was her father-in-law, and there were a few old men and women around listening to the gossip, so Qian Fang didn't shout out the word "dead pig".
Ji Chenghe was already old, and it was really embarrassing for him to be scolded in public by his wife to the point that he couldn't even raise his head.
But the eldest son had already made it clear that he had cut off all ties with him, and he had nowhere else to go except the youngest son's house.
So he could only swallow his anger and said, "How about I take some money and ask the doctor to treat Junjie, that bastard... If he continues to be so foolish with men, my old Ji family will be cut off!"
The young nurse who came with a tray to remove the needle jumped up in fright when she heard it.
The old lady on the bed next to her who was receiving an IV drip was also whispering to her older sister, "Wow, this old Ji family has a rabbit god!"
“…”
Qian Fang and Ji Jianhua couldn't stand others slandering their beloved son like this, so they could only quickly grab the old man on the bed and said, "Alright, alright, we'll take you back right away!"
*
After getting rid of the annoying relatives of the Ji family, New Year’s Eve arrived in the blink of an eye.
According to the unwritten tradition, Ms. Lian, who has worked hard for a year, will not do any housework on this day, and Comrades Lao Ji and Xiao Ji will be responsible for the important task of preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Fortunately, there were only three of us eating, so it wasn't too much trouble.
Old Ji bought batches of chickens, ducks, fish, meat and vegetables a few days ago. At six in the morning, he woke up the dozing Comrade Xiao Ji and asked her to sit in the kitchen to pick and wash vegetables.
Lian Qiao lay down and watched "Growing Pains" for a while, admiring the handsome face of Leonardo DiCaprio, who had not yet grown up. Suddenly, she remembered that her daughter would be going to Jingzhou soon.
So he got up from the sofa and put his clothes into Ji Yinhe's suitcase.
"Mom, please prepare an extra quilt for me!" Comrade Xiao Ji's voice came from the kitchen. "The bed in the provincial department dormitory is so hard, and the heating is not very good!"
"good."
Lian Qiao carried the ladder and pushed open the door of the second bedroom, and suddenly found a cute plush rabbit on the bedside table.
……Um?
Ms. Lian raised her eyebrows suspiciously. This didn't look like the kind of doll Ji Yinhe would buy for herself.
Judging from its size, could it be... the package Lu Zheng sent last time?
Lian Qiao turned around to look at her daughter who was picking vegetables without noticing anything, and sighed with a mixture of relief and melancholy.
…
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner and resting at home for two days, it was the day Ji Yinhe went to Jingzhou.
The Municipal Bureau bought a train ticket for her. Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao borrowed a car from their neighbor Uncle Wu and took her luggage to the station.
With the neighbors of Meiqingyuan bidding farewell, Policeman Xiao Ji set out on the road to Jingzhou.
Unexpectedly, she was not sad at all on the platform, but Comrade Old Ji started to cry hypocritically.
"My little Yinhe, I'm leaving home to work!" he said, wiping away tears. "You must take good care of yourself when you're out there."
Lian Qiao patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Just tell Mom what you want to eat, and we'll take the train to bring it to you!"
"Don't worry!" Ji Yinhe gave his parents a hug, "I'll call you when I get to Jingzhou!"
She boarded the train with her luggage and did not forget to lean out of the window to wave goodbye to Old Ji and Ms. Lian.
Until the figure disappeared from sight.
The white smoke at the station dissipated, Ji Jianguo put down his hand, looked into the distance and sighed.
"Calculating the time, that horrific Jingzhou serial dismemberment case is about to happen, right?"
