Chapter 3030 Confidentiality
Tian Shufen's words made He Jian look a little complicated. It turned out that she knew that she could contact the Women's Federation. Then why did she endure it before? Is she no longer patient this time because he forced her to drop out of school and go to work? Can he really trust her this time?
"Xiaojian, don't you believe your mother?" Tian Shufen's voice was filled with anxiety and despair. She really wanted to divorce He Jinsheng, and she did not lie to him.
"No, let's go to the Women's Federation first and talk about the rest later." He Jian skipped her question and took her to the Women's Federation office. The most important thing now was to solve the current problem.
Jiang Lili was in a very good mood this afternoon. She even wrote out the draft of the dress-up doll in her mind several times, so that she could discuss the dress-up doll with Director Wu smoothly later.
The school bell rang so beautifully that Jiang Lili quickly tidied up the desk. Ke Sisi glanced at her, looking at her kindly: "Lili, why are you so fast today?" In the past, she always cleaned up slowly and methodically.
"I'm in a hurry to go home today." Although she said this, Jiang Lili still didn't go up to squeeze with the group of people. She waited until most of them had left before leaving the classroom with Ke Sisi.
On the way home, Jiang Lili unconsciously quickened her pace and arrived home two minutes earlier than usual. As she pushed the door open, Jiang Qitong trotted over and whispered to her, "Sister Lili, new information! Director Wu is home and talking to Grandpa."
"Got it, Comrade Xiao Jiang, please keep it up." Jiang Lili said and rubbed her cheek as a reward.
At this time, the old man and Director Wu, who were chatting in the living room, couldn't help but look up when they heard the voice coming from the door. Jiang Lili smiled and greeted them: "Grandpa, Director Wu."
"This is the eldest granddaughter you were talking about. Uncle Jiang is so lucky." Director Wu's tone was full of praise.
"Lili, come over and say hello to your Uncle Wu." Now that he was at his house, it was natural for him to get closer to him. Jiang Jianyi would not waste such a good opportunity.
"Hello Uncle Wu, I'm Jiang Lili, nice to meet you." Jiang Lili said as she extended her right hand towards Director Wu.
Director Wu was amused by her adult-like behavior, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with her.
"Lili has to go to evening self-study later, so let's get straight to the point." Jiang Jianyi's tone was full of familiarity.
"Uncle Jiang is talking about Lili. I think the dress-up doll toy your grandfather mentioned yesterday is a good idea. Can you tell me more about it?" Director Wu was very humble in both tone and attitude.
"Uncle Wu, wait a minute. I'll go get the draft drawing I drew so that you can see it more clearly and intuitively." Jiang Lili quickly went to Jiang Qitong's desk and took the drawing she had drawn earlier.
"Uncle Wu, look, these are the little skirts I drew. When the time comes, the doll will be made into a naked version. In addition to the clothes on its body, it can be equipped with several different sets of clothes and shoes, and a small comb. In this way, everyone can change the doll's clothes and play with friends. Moreover, this type of dress-up doll will not only attract children of a few years old, but also children in their teens can play with it as well." Even junior high school students are the main force, Jiang Lili added quietly in her heart.
"Lili, did you draw all these?" Director Wu's tone was full of surprise. Not to mention the styles of these little skirts, even the matching of these colors showed great talent. It seemed that she was very sensitive to colors.
"I drew this. It's my first time, so I guess it's not very good." Jiang Lili lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly. After all, she was not a professional painter.
"Your painting has surpassed most people, even better than some people who have learned it. You know what, it looks very attractive. I want to buy a set for my children at home to play with." Director Wu's eyes were full of amazement.
"This is mainly to let everyone see intuitively how to play with these toys. Professionals will still be needed to draw them. Uncle Wu, what do you think of my suggestion just now?" This is the issue that Jiang Lili cares about most.
"I think this is a good idea, but it will increase the cost a lot, and I don't know if everyone can accept it." Director Wu expressed his concerns.
"Uncle Wu, is the best-selling model in your factory the lowest-priced one?" Jiang Lili asked sincerely.
Director Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Jianyi with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, this girl has the style of you back then."
"Of course. Just give me a definite answer whether it will work or not." Jiang Jianyi was too lazy to talk in official language with him.
"Uncle Jiang, it's not like you haven't worked in a factory before. This is not something I can decide on my own. I have to report to Factory 1 in advance. That way, I can give you an answer as soon as possible, okay?" Director Wu's eyes swept across the drawings. He was optimistic in his heart. Just like Lili said just now, the best-selling model in the factory is not the cheapest one.
"Okay, then we'll wait for your good news." Jiang Jianyi nodded.
After finishing their business, Jiang Jianyi invited Director Wu to stay for dinner, but he declined. After some refusals, he didn't try to persuade him to stay. After seeing Director Wu off, Jiang Qitong and Jiang Aiguo came over and asked, "How was it? What did he say?"
"I've just gone back to submit a proposal and wait for approval. How could it be so fast?" Jiang Jianyi said, rolling his eyes at him.
"Then let's eat first. Anyway, we have done everything we should do. Let's leave everything to God." Jiang Aiguo said and asked everyone to eat quickly.
"Why hasn't my sister come back yet?" Zhou Qingfen came out of the kitchen and asked.
"I forgot to tell you. My sister just sent someone to tell me that she has something to do and won't be back for dinner." Jiang Aiguo almost forgot about this.
"What's so important that you don't even have a meal?" the old man asked with a frown.
"It seems to be about night school registration. I'm not sure about the details." Jiang Aiguo said and shook his head.
"Let's eat first. How can my mother, who is such a grown-up, starve herself?" Jiang Lili gestured for them to eat first. She wanted to ask about school matters and probably wouldn't be back so soon.
"Lili is right. Eat quickly. You have to go to evening self-study later." Zhou Qingfen said as she served her a bowl of soup.
Although Director Wu did not give a definite answer, Jiang Lili felt that this matter should have a chance. However, it didn't matter even if she was rejected. At worst, she could just look for another toy factory.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Jiang Yulan coming back for dinner. She hurried forward and said, "Mom, you're back. How's the night school thing going?"
"You can go next week. You should go to evening self-study first." Jiang Yulan glanced at her wrist and urged.
"Okay, then you should go back and eat." Jiang Lili waved at her.
After watching Jiang Lili leave, Jiang Yulan went upstairs. The rice was still warm in the pot. Zhou Qingfen stood up to serve her the rice, but she refused: "I can't eat right now. Let's talk about it later. I just came back from the Women's Federation."
"Didn't you say you wanted to ask about the school?" Jiang Aiguo was a little puzzled.
"I asked someone to bring a message back and made up an excuse." She had already asked about the night school matters at noon.
"What's going on at the Women's Federation?" Zhou Qingfen couldn't help but ask when she saw her serious expression.
"It's still He Jinsheng's business. He got violent again this time. Tian Shufen decided to divorce him, but she didn't dare mention it to him. After the last incident, he threatened Tian Shufen that if she mentioned divorce again, he would drag her and He Jian to die together. This time, he told everyone that He Jian had a knife on him and didn't allow him to go to school. He wanted to force He Jian to drop out of school and work. Tian Shufen finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she went straight to the Women's Federation." Jiang Yulan took a big sip of water and continued, "The Women's Federation came to mediate the problem. He Jinsheng invited Niu Dazhuang to drink at his home. The two of them were drunk. They were fine at first, but when he heard the Women's Federation mention divorce, He Jinsheng's eyes turned red. He actually went back to the house and got a knife. The people who came to mediate were all female comrades. They had never seen such a scene before, so they hurriedly took Tian Shufen and her son back to the office."
"What happened next?" Zhou Qingfen didn't expect He Jinsheng to be so crazy that he actually didn't let the child go to school.
"The Women's Federation was discussing finding a place for the mother and son, but an hour later, that beast He Jinsheng went crazy and ran to the Women's Federation with Niu Dazhuang to demand their release. He also shouted that those were his wife and son, and it was none of their business if he wanted to beat them or sell them. Later, he even took out a kitchen knife hidden in his arms and went crazy at the Women's Federation. In the end, he and Niu Dazhuang, two drunkards, started fighting each other. He cut Niu Dazhuang's shoulder. The Women's Federation called the police, and Sister Qiu said that I was familiar with Tian Shufen, so she asked me to take her to the hospital." Jiang Yulan didn't want to get involved in this mess, but Sister Qiu, the director of the Women's Federation, treated her well, so she couldn't refuse. She had to take Tian Shufen to the hospital. Fortunately, her back injury was not serious and she would be fine after some rest.
"Is He Jinsheng crazy? How dare he go to the Women's Federation with a knife?" Jiang Aiguo was a little surprised.
"He drank and got drunk." Jiang Yulan felt that there was nothing wrong with He Jinsheng being arrested. He was a gambler to begin with, and now he was an alcoholic. With him around, life became difficult for Tian Shufen and her son. Once he was in jail, it would be a relief for Tian Shufen.
Zhou Qingfen obviously thought of this as well, and asked about Tian Shufen's injury.
Such a major incident at the cotton mill naturally couldn't be concealed. When Jiang Lili arrived in the classroom, someone asked her, "Jiang Lili, I heard that He Jian's father attacked someone with a knife. Is this true?"
"What do you mean by stabbing someone?" Jiang Lili's face looked even more surprised than the person asking her. Seeing this, the person repeated what he had heard to her. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Most people in the class were discussing this matter, but Ji Mingyue clenched her palms, thinking nervously, He Jian's father had surgery, so He Jian wouldn't do the same. She suddenly regretted that she had revealed the divorce of He Jian's parents in order to embarrass Jiang Lili.
"Mingyue, do you think He Jian will still come to school?" Wu Juyue was also worried. She and He Jian had a grudge against each other after the last incident. What if He Jian wanted revenge? The thought of He Jian using a knife terrified Wu Juyue.
"I don't know either. What happened?" Ji Mingyue looked at her calmly.
"It's okay, I just think it's better to stay away from such crazy people in the future." Wu Juyue said in a low voice.
"It's better for him and Lili's friends to stay away from him, so that Lili won't be unhappy if she sees them." Ji Mingyue said as she prayed in her heart, praying that He Jian would not come to school.
"If it weren't for Ji Lili, why would he have come to trouble me last time? It's all her fault." Wu Juyue's eyes flashed with resentment. At this moment, the strategy value above her head directly reached full marks.
Ji Mingyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that using Ji Lili to stimulate her would increase her strategy value. This should be considered a success, right?
"Mingyue, I'm talking to you." Seeing her laughing there foolishly, Wu Juyue looked at her with some displeasure. Why was she like this? She didn't take herself seriously at all.
"I'm sorry, Juyue, I was distracted just now. Don't worry, this is school. He Jian wouldn't dare to do anything wrong unless he doesn't want to continue studying." Now that his father is in trouble, no one at school should be willing to associate with him. He is the one who should be worried.
"Ji Mingyue, someone is looking for you outside." The person sitting at the door of the classroom shouted Ji Mingyue's name loudly.
Ji Mingyue and Wu Juyue looked up at the same time and found Zheng Gaoyang standing at the classroom door. Wu Juyue was a little puzzled: "Why did he look for you?"
"I don't know either." Ji Mingyue shook her head.
"Zheng Gaoyang, are you here to see me? I thought you were here to see Lili." Ji Mingyue said and looked at Zheng Gaoyang. She was surprised to find that the strategy value above his head had also increased. She was a little happy. She didn't do anything, but the strategy value actually increased. It seemed that even God was helping her.
"No, I came here to find you. Have you heard about what happened in He Jian's family? Remember to stay away from him. I'm afraid he will continue to retaliate against you." The bicycle incident last time was a good example.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful. You should remember to be careful too." Ji Mingyue smiled sweetly at him. She didn't expect that he came to the class just to tell her this. It seemed that the balance in his heart had begun to waver.
"Well, I have to go back to study. Bye." Zheng Gaoyang waved at her.
"Okay, bye." Ji Mingyue had been paying attention to his movements with the corner of her eyes, and found that he had never looked in Jiang Lili's direction since he arrived. Thinking of this, the smile in her eyes became even more intense. She even looked in the direction of Jiang Lili on purpose, and happened to see her looking up. After the two looked at each other, she smiled triumphantly at her. Jiang Lili quickly lowered her eyes. Ji Mingyue curled the corners of her lips. It must be very uncomfortable to see with your own eyes your friends and the person you love gradually leaning towards you, right?
Jiang Lili ignored Ji Mingyue's provocative look. The fact that Zheng Gaoyang came to see her specially could not hurt her. At this moment, all she could think about was the time at He Jian's house. Since He Jinsheng had caused bloodshed, imprisonment was inevitable. This was actually good news for them and their son. She hoped that he could study hard and get into a good university, and completely isolate Tian Shufen from He Jinsheng in the future.
Tonight's evening study session was supposed to let them do their own workbooks, but the news from He Jian's family was so explosive that everyone was passing notes around all night discussing He Jian's affairs.
After the evening study session, Jiang Lili had just separated from Ke Sisi when she heard a familiar voice from the side: "Lili."
She turned around in surprise and saw Ji Yushu standing there. She was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
"What's wrong? It's been such a short time since we last met, and you can't even call me by my name?" Ji Yushu frowned to express his displeasure. It was at this moment that Jiang Lili discovered that there was a woman standing next to him. She guessed that she must be Ye Qiuju.
"Dad, why are you here?" Jiang Lili changed her words readily, it was just a name.
"Your aunt and I just came back from the hospital. Since evening study is almost over, we came to see you. I heard that you changed your last name?" Ji Yushu suppressed his displeasure.
Ye Qiuju has been looking at Jiang Lili since a while ago. In her previous life, she had only seen her in the newspaper. She was called the happiest little princess by everyone. At that time, Ye Qiuju could only look at her with envy, but now she can stand opposite her, and as an elder.
"Yes, isn't it normal to follow my mother's surname after the divorce? Besides, doesn't Ji Mingyue have your surname?" After Jiang Lili finished speaking, she realized that Ji Mingyue was not there. She was a little surprised.
"You are all my daughters. Isn't it natural for you to take my surname? Find some time to change it back." Ji Yushu gave her an unpleasant look.
"Dad, do you think changing your name is just a game? How can you change it so frequently?" Jiang Lili said indifferently.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Ji Mingyue's somewhat surprised voice came from behind.
"Mingyue, you're done with school. We just went to the hospital and passed by here, so we stopped by to pick you and Lili up." Ye Qiuju said, looking at Jiang Lili, her tone gentle, "Lili, I'm Mingyue's mother. You can just call me Auntie Ye. Do you want to go back with us tonight?"
"No need, my mother is waiting for me at home." Jiang Lili refused coldly.
"Lili, what's your attitude towards your Aunt Ye?" Ji Yushu looked at her unhappily.
"Brother Ji, don't talk to the child like that. I also want them to develop feelings for each other in advance. When the child is born, it will be such a happy thing to have two sisters loving him." Ye Qiuju said as she put her hands on her belly, her whole body emitting the glow of motherhood.
"Mom, you are pregnant. Will I have a little brother?" Ji Mingyue said loudly with an exaggerated expression.
"Yeah." Ye Qiuju nodded a little embarrassedly.
Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows. No wonder they came to school to show off. She caught a glimpse of the mother and daughter and smiled at Ji Yushu: "Congratulations, Dad. Isn't the son you've been dreaming of for so long finally here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Ji Yushu glared at him, but his eyes were filled with uncontrollable happiness. He felt so proud to have a son.
"Then I won't bother you. I'll go back first." Jiang Lili was too lazy to play along with them.
"Okay, I'll talk to your mother about changing the surname when I'm free." Ji Yushu said, then turned and stared at Ji Mingyue: "Your mother is pregnant now, so you have to be more proactive in family matters in the future."
Jiang Lili, who had already walked away, couldn't help but curl her lips. Since Ji Mingyue was so happy, she sincerely wished that they would give birth to a baby soon. After all, the Ji family already had a proud ancestor. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jiang Lili's performance disappointed Ye Qiuju and her daughter, but they couldn't show it in front of Ji Yushu. Ye Qiuju looked disappointed: "Brother Ji, do you think Lili doesn't like me?"
"Don't worry about her. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself. Go to the restaurant and quit your job tomorrow." Ji Yushu said in a generous tone. His business at the stall has been good these past two days. Wang Dagui next door even brought several friends to buy special films. This was the first time he felt that making money was so easy.
"Are you going to resign? Wouldn't that be too hard for you?" Ye Qiuju looked worried, but she felt relieved in her heart. It was worth it that she had been pretending for so long, and she finally didn't have to do this crappy job anymore.
"It's not hard." As long as Ji Yushu thought of his son, he instantly felt motivated to make money.
Today, Zheng Gaoyang successfully conquered Wu Juyue, and his strategy value increased again. Ji Mingyue was already in a good mood, and she was even happier when she heard the news that Ye Qiuju was pregnant. As long as she gave birth to this son, no one would be able to shake her position. She had to remind them to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. After getting the certificate, all the money Ji Yushu earned would be the couple's property.
Because Ye Qiuju was pregnant, Ji Yushu returned to the iron factory and asked Ji Mingyue to stay with Ye Qiuju and take care of her. After sending Ji Yushu away, Ji Mingyue asked directly, "Didn't you say when you're going to get the marriage certificate?"
"You already have a child, why are you in such a hurry?" In the countryside, marriage certificates are not important. She and Ji Yushu had bought and obtained a marriage certificate before, so Ye Qiuju didn't think it was that important.
"Of course you're in a hurry. You need a birth certificate to have a baby now, and you need a marriage certificate to get it. With a marriage certificate, you are his legal wife, and you will get a share of every penny he earns. Otherwise, forget it." Ji Mingyue explained it to her, but she thought with some disgust in her heart that people from the countryside are really ignorant. Even she, an unmarried woman, knows that a birth certificate is needed to have a baby.
"Is that so? Then I'll ask your dad tomorrow. What happened to that girl today? She looked really happy." Ye Qiuju was a little confused. She was pregnant, but Jiang Lili was actually happy.
"You're just putting on a smile. She's changed her last name now, and you're pregnant again. From now on, she won't have anything to do with dad's things." Ji Mingyue said with a curl of her lips.
"That's right, it's time for us mothers to live a good life." Thinking of what she saw in newspapers and on TV in her previous life, Ye Qiuju felt jealous. Fortunately, this time, they were the ones standing next to Ji Yushu.
"Are you sure it's a son?" Ji Mingyue looked at her belly with some concern.
"Don't worry, I've asked someone to calculate it a long time ago, and it's certain that I'll have a son if I give birth again." Ye Qiuju was full of confidence.
"As long as it's a son." Ji Mingyue felt relieved.
"Okay, don't worry about me. You should study hard in school and do better than that girl in the exams. Your father has always valued that girl's grades." Ye Qiuju reminded.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it." Ji Mingyue didn't think she would lose to Jiang Lili.
"When will the exam be held?" Ye Qiuju thought. When the results came out, she would have to publicize it. So what if she grew up in the countryside? She could still beat Jiang Lili, who grew up in the city.
"At the beginning of next month, I have to go to morning self-study tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep first." Ji Mingyue said and yawned.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Go get me some water to wash my feet first." Ye Qiuju ordered with peace of mind.
"Go by yourself. It's just a pregnancy. Do you really think you are the queen mother?" Ji Mingyue thought. She is not the softie like the original owner.
"The doctor said that you can't do those things because you are old and pregnant. You should go quickly." Ye Qiuju didn't move and continued to order her around.
Thinking of Ye Qiuju's age, Ji Mingyue hesitated for a moment before finally standing up: "Okay, I'll go right away, but I think you should move back to the iron factory. Grandma has experience and it will be more convenient for her to take care of you."
"Yao Yan is over there. What if she does something bad?" Ye Qiuju had thought about this question before.
"We've already signed the agreement, why is she still making a fuss?" Ji Mingyue didn't care.
"It's better to be cautious." Ye Qiuju shook her head. Only she knew how much Ji Yushu valued this child, and this child was also the support of the mother and daughter for the rest of their lives.
"Okay." Ji Mingyue thought about it and felt that it was always right to be cautious.
Before going to bed, she did not forget to remind Ye Qiuju again the importance of getting the marriage certificate, and did not fall asleep until she got her affirmative answer.

Because of what happened at the school gate, Jiang Lili returned home almost ten minutes later than usual. Jiang Yulan was planning to go to the school to see what was going on, but just as she came downstairs, she bumped into Jiang Lili who was returning. Seeing Jiang Yulan, she looked surprised: "Mom, are you still going out so late?"
"No, I came down to see if you were back. Why are you so late today?" Jiang Yulan asked.
"I met Dad and Ji Mingyue's mom at the school gate." Jiang Lili said expressionlessly.
"Are they here to pick up Ji Mingyue?" Jiang Yulan's tone was filled with anger. Did Ji Yushu ever consider that Lili would become a topic of conversation for others after dinner? Couldn't he wait for a while before going?
"Picking up Ji Mingyue was fake, and showing off Ye Qiuju's pregnancy was real." Jiang Lili said calmly.
"This Ji Yushu, really is..." Jiang Yulan couldn't find any words to describe his behavior, her eyes full of disgust towards him.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Jiang Lili shook her head, signaling Jiang Yulan not to worry about her anymore.
"They really can't wait and are not afraid of losing face." Counting the days, it has only been a month since their divorce.
"He was probably so happy that he lost himself in thought." Jiang Lili guessed.
"I'm glad you weren't affected. By the way, something happened at He Jian's home. In the future, you should try not to get too close to him. Lili, Mom isn't restricting you from making friends, it's just..." Jiang Yulan was a little speechless when she said this. After all, He Jian was actually a victim, but when she thought of He Jinsheng's eyes when he was about to kill someone, she couldn't help but worry that He Jian would be like that one day. So she just wanted Lili to stay away from all dangerous things.
"I understand." Without waiting for her to explain, Jiang Lili gave Jiang Yulan a hug. She just had a shadow on the He family because of the last incident. She was also the same. The last incident also completed the friendship between her and He Jian since childhood.
"I'm glad you understand. I'll go cook something for you. By the way, I'm going to start classes next week. Can you stay with your uncle for a while?" Jiang Yulan discussed with her.
"Okay, then let's study hard together and make progress every day." Jiang Lili looked at her with a smile.
"Okay, let's study hard together and make progress every day." Jiang Yulan raised a smile at the corner of her lips.

At the ironworks, Chen Guilan was cooking noodles for Ji Lanlan and her brother when she heard Ji Yushu's voice outside. She was a little confused: "Second brother, isn't Mingyue back yet?"
"No, she will live with her mother from now on, and I will go back to live at the iron factory." Ji Yushu said.
Ji Lanlan looked up in surprise when she heard that. In that case, she finally wouldn't have to share her room with others.
"Didn't you say it was convenient to set up a stall there?" The person asking the question was Ji Yuanping. The old couple were still thinking about the money he had borrowed.
"Qiuju is pregnant, and Mingyue lives over there so that it will be more convenient to take care of her." Ji Yushuo casually said this bombshell news.
"Are you saying Qiuju is pregnant?" Chen Guilan, who heard the news in the kitchen, dropped the chopsticks in her hand and ran out.
"Well, we went to the hospital for a check-up tonight." Ji Yushu was also very excited, but he didn't want to show it. This time, seeing Chen Guilan's excited face, he also curled the corners of his lips.
"God bless, God bless." Chen Guilan prayed that it must be a son this time.
"Then when are you and her going to get a marriage certificate?" Ji Yuanping asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet." The wedding photos that Nie Hong took out last time were still a thorn in his heart, so he didn't want to get the marriage certificate before figuring out this matter.
"What's there to think about? Hurry up and get the certificate. After getting the certificate, you have to apply for a birth permit, otherwise you can't have the child." After saying this, Chen Guilan glared at him. It was already this time, what was he still thinking about?
"Get the marriage certificate first, and don't tell anyone about your pregnancy. It's only been a month since you divorced the Jiang family. If this gets out, people will gossip about you." Ji Yuanping warned.
Ji Yushu's face froze. It was over. He hadn't considered this problem at all at that time. He just wanted to use Jiang Lili's mouth to tell Jiang Yulan that if she didn't want to give birth, there were plenty of people who could give birth to sons for her.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his face change, Chen Guilan asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'll go back to the house first. I have to get up early to set up the stall tomorrow." Ji Yushu shook his head and didn't tell them about this. He thought that he would have to remind them tomorrow.
"What happened to the second brother? He was fine just now?" Looking at his back, Chen Guilan looked confused.
"Don't worry about him. Did you two hear what I said just now? No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened just now, including your parents." Ji Yuanping warned the two siblings who were eating. With Yao Yan's gossipy personality, if she knew about it, it would mean that everyone in the iron factory would know about it.
"Grandpa, if you want us to keep it a secret, you have to give us some benefits." Ji Wenwu looked at him with a smile.
"I'll give you two yuan each. Don't tell anyone, okay?" Ji Yuanping said as he took out four one-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to them.
"Don't worry, grandpa. My sister and I promise not to tell anyone." Ji Wenwu held the four dollars in his hand and gave only one to Ji Lanlan.
Seeing Ji Lanlan staring at the money in his hand, Ji Wenwu quickly put it all into his pocket and said loudly: "I fought for all these, and it's great to give you a piece."
Ji Lanlan said nothing, but just bit her lip and looked at them. Ji Yuanping looked away. Chen Guilan looked amused: "Your brother is right. If it weren't for his cleverness, you wouldn't even have this."
Ji Lanlan clenched her fists, then relaxed. Hadn't she been used to such a life for a long time? The person she envied the most was still Ji Lili. Whenever she was wronged, her mother would help her get it back. Unlike her, they always felt that they were entitled to it. As the older sister, they should have given in to Ji Wenwu since they were young. She knew that this was not only because she was the older sister, but more importantly, because Ji Wenwu was a boy. At this moment, she strongly hoped that Ye Qiuju was also pregnant with a boy. Then, she wanted to see if Ji Wenwu could still be so favored.
"Lanlan, clean up the dishes after you finish eating. I'm tired and need to take a rest." After saying that, Chen Guilan left all the kitchen chores to her.
After the old couple left, Ji Wenwu suddenly came in front of Ji Lanlan. Looking at her face that had suddenly enlarged, Ji Lanlan unconsciously took a step back: "What are you doing?"
"Sister, let's discuss something." Ji Wenwu's tone was unusually gentle.
Ji Lanlan was indeed subconsciously alert. If Ji Wenwu took the initiative to call her sister, it would be no good. "What's the matter?"
"Grandpa and grandma are so afraid that we will spread this matter, and I think my second uncle is the same. Shouldn't we seize this opportunity and ask him for some benefits?" Ji Wenwu knew that he had refused to give him a single-player machine when his mother asked his second uncle to. Now that he finally had this opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.
"Why don't you just go to him yourself if you want something?" Ji Lanlan didn't want to ask Ji Yushu for anything. Ever since he got divorced, she felt that he had become annoying.
"That won't work. One person's strength is not enough. We have to work together. Don't worry, I will split the things we want this time with you." Ji Wenwu said without waiting for her to answer him. He grabbed her arm and knocked on Ji Yushu's door.
