Chapter 1212 In fact, the matter has never been resolved
Ji Mingyue was a little surprised by Ji Lili's provocation. She told herself that now was not the time to have a falling out. She endured it and smiled reluctantly: "How could that be? I'll go right away."
Jiang Yulan didn't understand her intention, but she never ruined her daughter's plans. She waited until Ji Mingyue went to the kitchen before looking at her, and said in a puzzled tone: "Lili, do you really hate Mingyue?" After all, in her impression, Ji Lili has always been a very sensible child, but her behavior just now was different from usual.
"Mom, let's go to my room and talk." Ji Lili understood that she felt sorry for Ji Mingyue, but she didn't know how to explain it. Besides, in this era, divorce was no small matter. From Jiang Yulan's perspective, and even in the entire family compound, Ji Yushu was a good husband and a good father. So even if they wanted to divorce, it should be him who would be discredited, not Jiang Yulan who would be criticized for being ungrateful. She just prayed that Ms. Ye would be more helpful so that she could find evidence sooner rather than later.
"Lili, what happened to you just now? Did you have any conflict at school?" Jiang Yulan couldn't help asking as she entered the room. In her opinion, Ji Mingyue was also a poor little girl, and Lili shouldn't have done that.
"No, Mom, did you and Dad have a fight?" Ji Lili asked the question she wanted to ask directly.
"Why do you ask?" Jiang Yulan said as she touched her head. The child has been thoughtful since she was young. When she was a child, she and Ji Yushu had a quarrel in front of Lili because of her parents-in-law. She found that she was affected, so she made an agreement with Ji Yushu not to quarrel in front of the child.
"I found out during dinner. It must be related to what happened at noon. What did Dad want to discuss with you at noon?" Ji Lili didn't think about the matter of having a son. After all, this plot was still early in the story.
"We were discussing his business, and I took the opportunity to tell him that I would lend your grandfather my passbook for two months." The way the mother and daughter got along since childhood was different from others. Jiang Yulan, who was lying to her for the first time, looked away awkwardly.
"Mom, you are lying. If you don't tell me, I will ask my dad." Ji Lili could tell at a glance that she was lying.
Jiang Yulan hesitated, then looked up at her and explained, "Your father went out today and someone provoked him. He wants me to take unpaid leave and then give you a brother." She sighed, feeling that her earlier attempt to conceal her feelings was completely in vain. Over the years, Lili had become increasingly outstanding. Those people, while praising her excellence, also regretted that she wasn't a son. Even though she tried her best to prevent and isolate them, Lili still felt the malice.
Now it was Ji Lili's turn to be surprised. Had Ji Yushu already been thinking about this? She could almost imagine his future excuses. He would blame it all on Jiang Yulan, saying she was unwilling, so he found someone else. But this was also good news for them. As long as he had this idea in mind, he should be persuaded quickly.
She glanced at Jiang Yulan: "So what do you think?"
"What else can I think about? Why should I have another child when I already have such an outstanding daughter like you? What's more, I'm already at this age, and I should think about how to make more money." When the time comes, I will leave it to her, and no matter what she does, she will have the confidence.
"What? You are still very young, Mom. I mean, what if, what if Dad insists on having a baby?" Ji Lili asked tentatively.
"No, we've already agreed on this." Jiang Yulan frowned subconsciously.
"I remember you discussed this issue when I was three and nine years old respectively. Are you sure Dad is really willing to accept it?" Ji Lili looked at her calmly. Although her character was portrayed as a love-brained person in the plot, after more than ten years of living together, Ji Lili felt that her mother was obviously a woman with great wisdom in life, and not a love-brained person.
"If that day really comes, I'll make him pack up and leave." The house they live in now was obtained after her father put in a lot of effort.
Ji Lili felt relieved after hearing her words. She wasn't sure if Ji Yushu was in contact with Ye Qiuju yet, so she just asked, "Mom, didn't uncle say last time that he was going to verify Sister Mingyue's matter? How's the verification going?"
"Did someone say anything to you?" Jiang Yulan held her face with her hands and paid attention to her expression.
"I heard some people saying that Sister Mingyue might also be Dad's child. After all, Uncle's gone, so whatever they say is true." Some people in the family compound did speculate this way. There was no way around it. Ms. Jiang Yulan had always been outstanding, and there were always people secretly comparing her to her. It was easy to find a point that might embarrass her, so they had to make the most of it. They probably didn't expect that their casual speculation might actually be the truth.
"If you want to verify it, you have to first ask where your uncle went to in the countryside. It won't happen so quickly." It's been almost twenty years, and some places may not be found anymore.
"Okay." In addition to objective factors and the deliberate plot, it is estimated that by the time her uncle found out the news, Ye Qiuju had already given birth to a son.
"Okay, you're just a kid, don't worry so much. Adults will take care of their own affairs." Jiang Yulan pinched her face, signaling her not to worry too much.
"I know. By the way, what did Dad say about the passbook?" Ji Lili was a little curious.
"He said two months wouldn't make a big difference. Okay, go to bed quickly because you have to get up early tomorrow." Before, Jiang Yulan was still hesitating whether it would be too long to lie and say two months would be too long. At this moment, she was glad that she had said two months.
Yes, just like Lili said just now, the issue between them about whether to have a second child was actually not resolved at all. She unilaterally felt that it was resolved. She thought that she was naive about this matter and she underestimated Ji Yushu's determination to have a son.
She returned to their room from Ji Lili's room. Ji Yushu was already asleep. Hearing his snoring, Jiang Yulan's sleepiness instantly disappeared. Was he really provoked by someone today to bring up this matter with her? Unfortunately, no one could give her an answer.
Jiang Yulan didn't sleep well that night. The next morning, she got up early to make breakfast. She cooked porridge and asked Ji Yushu to go to the cafeteria to buy some buns and steamed buns so they could eat. Ji Yushu was still asleep. He yawned and casually instructed Ji Lili: "Lili, help Dad run this trip."
"Okay, then is there any money for running errands?" Ji Lili used to say this as a fun thing between father and daughter, but now Ji Lili is committed to taking out all the money in his pocket.
"I don't know who you inherited this money-hungry personality from." Ji Yushu looked at her with amusement. When he was giving her the money, he saw Ji Mingyue looking at him eagerly, so he gave her another portion.
"Of course I take after you. Didn't grandma say that I take after you?" According to Chen Guilan, all of Ji Lili's strengths came from their Ji family, and as for the shortcomings, they must have come from the Jiang family.
"Go quickly, you and Mingyue buy meat buns, your mother and I will just have steamed buns." Now that he has no salary every month, he has to save some money.
Ji Lili glanced at the money in Ji Mingyue's hand, and said gently: "Sister Mingyue, come with me to learn the way, and you can earn the money for running away next time." "Yes, Mingyue, you come with me to learn the way too." Ji Yushu nodded. Ji Mingyue will live here in the future, so it is indeed time for her to get familiar with this place.
"Okay, I'll listen to my second uncle." As she said that, she put the money into her pocket in front of Ji Lili.
On the way to the cafeteria, she met many acquaintances from the family compound. Everyone greeted Ji Lili with a smile and looked at Ji Mingyue beside her calmly. Ji Mingyue ignored all these looks. She was wondering what excuse she should find to visit Ye Qiuju at noon.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Ji Lili directly asked for three meat buns. Ji Mingyue was puzzled: "Lili, didn't Second Uncle say he wanted two meat buns?"
"He likes to eat steamed buns, but my mother doesn't like it." He wants to save money, so why should he drag her mother along?
"But didn't Second Uncle say," Ji Lili turned around with the buns in her hand before Ji Mingyue could finish, "Let's go."
Seeing the three meat buns on the plate, Ji Yushu was stunned: "Didn't you say to buy two?"
"Uncle, Lili said that Aunt doesn't like steamed buns, so she bought three." Ji Mingyue explained.
"Look at me, I almost forgot." Ji Yushu said and slapped his forehead.
Ji Lili watched his performance coldly. She didn't even understand. Ji Mingyue had only been here for a few days, but his bad nature had already been revealed. Was it because of the influence of the plot, or was it because he had been pretending for more than ten years and didn't want to continue?
"It's okay, it's okay to eat it occasionally." Jiang Yulan was very calm. Although Lili's words last night made her think a lot, before anything happened and before the matter was confirmed, she was still willing to maintain the original family atmosphere.
After dinner, some went to school, some went to work, and Ji Yushu became the most idle one. At this time, the guard notified him to answer the phone. It was the number from Guangzhou that he had contacted before. Thinking of the passbook that had been borrowed, he felt a little annoyed. Finally, he planned to go to the bank to inquire about the loan.
When they arrived at the classroom, the two quickly parted ways and returned to their seats. When Ke Sisi saw her coming, she smiled at her shyly.
Morning self-study classes are all about early reading. This morning it was English, and Ji Lili, the English class representative, led everyone in the reading. It was rare that everyone had breakfast before morning self-study, so Ji Lili was full of energy when she led the reading.
Ji Mingyue's English book lay spread out on the table. She wasn't reading along, but was thinking about the possibility of borrowing Wu Juyue's bicycle. She initially wanted to pass a note, but hesitated, deciding it would be better to discuss it in person.
After the 45-minute morning reading, Wu Juyue was about to go to breakfast. Seeing Ji Mingyue and Ji Lili both sitting in their seats, she was a little puzzled: "Lili, Mingyue, aren't you going to eat?"
"We had dinner at home this morning," Ji Lili explained.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to go back, so I'll go to the store to buy some bread." Wu Juyue thought it was a good thing that she had money in her schoolbag.
"I'll go with you." Ji Mingyue's eyes lit up. She was worried that she couldn't find a chance to talk alone.
"Okay, okay, Mingyue, you are so nice." Wu Juyue looked touched.
Seeing her hesitant look, Wu Juyue took the initiative to speak: "Mingyue, what's wrong with you?"
"Juyue, can I borrow your bicycle for lunch? I want to go see my mother." Ji Mingyue said as she lowered her head and twirled her fingers.
"Of course." Wu Juyue agreed readily.
"Then could you please not tell Lili about this?" Ji Mingyue said and looked at her pleadingly.
