Chapter 10 Am I a Brother-Supporting Demon?
Ji Huaizhi and Dong Shuxiang didn't come early on the weekend; they arrived with a bag of fruit around mealtime.
Since they weren't there, no one was cooking, and at this time every household was filled with the aroma of food, except for the Ji family's stove, which was cold and deserted.
"Why are you so late?" Liu Jinhua stepped forward to take the things, but when she found that they were just two bags of fruit, she pursed her lips and clearly looked down on them.
Dong Shuxiang could tell from the dishes on the table that they were waiting for her to come and cook.
Sure enough, Liu Jinhua immediately said, "Shuxiang, go to the kitchen and cook two dishes. Everyone is hungry since we're so late."
Dong Shuxiang frowned, thinking that Ji Huaizhi had been doing quite well lately.
She was also happy to give her man face in public.
Just as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work, Ji Huaizhi pulled him over and sat him on the sofa.
"We just finished our work and came over. We ate late and aren't hungry. It's impossible that you haven't eaten yet, is it?"
"You ate it, but your parents didn't?" Ji Junsong's tone was cold and hard.
Ji Huaizhi: "So you're calling us back to cook?"
"You don't eat when we're not coming back?"
"What are you saying?" Ji Junsong was clearly very dissatisfied with him. "We're wrong to ask you to come back for dinner? You even ate before coming back. What family is as selfish as you?"
"Abandoning your parents and siblings to live a good life on your own, I've never seen such selfish people as you!"
Ji Huaizhi spoke coldly, ignoring his father's anger:
"If I were selfish, I wouldn't have given you my salary card in the first place."
Ji Huailin frowned: "Brother, have you taken the wrong medicine?"
"Don't let other women bewitch you. You weren't like this before." He looked at Dong Shuxiang as he spoke, clearly implying something.
"What was I like before?" Ji Huaizhi asked in return.
Ji Huailin couldn't bring himself to say it.
Before Liu Jinhua could even speak, tears streamed down her face: "What do you mean by this?"
Do you feel that we, the old couple, have treated you badly, or that we have wronged you in some way?
"Huaizhi, you've really hurt your mother so much." Liu Jinhua wiped away her tears, as if Ji Huaizhi's attitude had broken her heart.
"You used to be so sensible, loving, and filial to your younger brother, never causing your parents any worry. How come you've become such a different person after you got married?"
Dong Shuxiang looked speechless: "So it was me who whispered in his ear that made this."
"Is this how your parents taught you to talk to your in-laws?" Liu Jinhua said angrily.
"It's none of your business to interfere in family matters!" Ji Junsong is now particularly dissatisfied with her.
Everyone in the Ji family believes that she is the one who made Ji Huaizhi this way.
If the young couple is only focused on their own family, then who will take care of them in the future?
"Then why are you still making her do chores? She doesn't even get to say a word in this family, how can you have the nerve to make her do chores?" Ji Huaizhi defended Dong Shuxiang.
Everyone was looking at him.
"Brother! You've really changed!" Ji Huailin exclaimed, bewildered. "You used to be so assertive in front of her!"
"Don't forget, you're a man."
Ji Huaizhi: "I can't get it up now, after all, I've lost my job and I still need her to support me."
The three were astonished: "What do you mean by losing your job?"
"Are you working?" Ji Junsong frowned.
"That's it, I got laid off," Ji Huaizhi said calmly.
Liu Jinhua exclaimed in surprise, "What?"
"What are you saying? How did you get laid off?"
Ji Huailin fell silent. His older brother had lost his job. Could he still rely on his older brother in the future?
Let's wait and see how things develop; if we lose a job, we can find another one.
"I was laid off. The economic climate was bad, which affected the company's performance. I refused to accept a pay cut, so I was laid off," Ji Huaizhi said frankly.
The other three members of the Ji family were at a loss for words.
"You're being too impulsive. A pay cut is better than losing your job. In this situation, why are you still buying a house?" Ji Junsong scolded them for being brainless with a dark face.
"If I don't use the money to buy a house, I'll be penniless in less than two years."
Ji Huaizhi's words startled Liu Jinhua: "What do you mean by that?"
Do you think we, as your parents, would be after your money?
Ji Huaizhi: "For the past few years I've been working here, my salary card has always been with you. You give me two thousand yuan a month for spending money."
"In the end, I only had 1.1 million left in my card, and even after including the 250,000 I lent out, it was only 1.35 million."
"I've been working for so long and I still can't afford a house. I don't even know who benefits from all this hard work."
Ji Huailin turned his head away, not daring to speak.
Liu Jinhua pointed at him, looking as if she had been heartbroken.
Ji Junsong casually grabbed something from the coffee table and threw it out: "We raised you all these years, what's wrong with using a little of your money?"
"And you dare to attack us like this!"
How have you become so selfish?
Ji Huaizhi sneered: "I'm selfish? My peers have already bought houses and their children are all grown up, but what about me? I'm still renting a one-bedroom apartment with Shushu and I don't dare to have children!"
“I’m the eldest in the family, and you can call me the pillar of the family. I accept it.”
"But are you really not going to make any plans for me?"
Upon hearing her husband's words, Dong Shuxiang gripped his hand tightly.
“But you did it willingly, didn’t you? Taking care of your brother was also your choice!” Liu Jinhua retorted, feeling wronged.
Ji Huaizhi: "I don't want to anymore."
"I always have to plan for my own family."
Ji Huailin: "Brother..."
“Your job cost 200,000 yuan back then. Mom said she couldn’t afford to spend her own money, so she used my money first.”
"You need to return that 200,000 to me."
Ji Huailin was no longer calm.
She stood up and looked at her parents in a panic: "Mom and Dad, I don't have any money."
Ji Junsong frowned: "Are you really going to force us like this?"
Ji Huaizhi raised his eyes: "If I were to force you, then what I want would not be this. I won't even mention what you and Mom have used over the years. You are my own parents, so consider this my way of showing filial piety to you."
"Ji Huailin is not my responsibility; I have already given him more than enough."
Liu Jinhua burst into tears: "Huaizhi, you've forgotten your family now that you have a wife!"
Dong Shuxiang tried to defend Ji Huaizhi, but Ji Huaizhi held her hand down.
Then Ji Huaizhi continued, "I've already lost my job, so it's not unreasonable for me to ask for the 200,000 yuan he used to buy the job back. After deducting other expenses, there's still at least two million yuan left in that account."
"Mom and Dad, where's the money?"
Ji Junsong's chest heaved.
The obedient and filial son has become disobedient.
This caught them off guard.
Ji Huailin: "Brother, are you really going to abandon me?"
"You said before..."
"Bang!"
Ji Huaizhi threw something over, which made a loud noise.
This startled everyone present.
"If you don't give me this 200,000, I'm going to your company."
If this matter escalates, it won't just be a matter of 200,000.
Ji Junsong: "I'll transfer the money to you, now get out! I don't have a son like you anymore!"
Ji Huaizhi got up without hesitation and pulled Dong Shuxiang outside.
Liu Jinhua didn't even have time to react: "Eldest son! Don't..."
"Let him go, he's got too big for his britches." Ji Junsong was furious: "That unfilial son!"
"He was faking it all along, but now he's showing his true colors!"
Ji Junsong kept cursing, and even after the door was closed, you could still hear him cursing outside.
"Money, money, money! He's obsessed with money, he even broke with his family for money!"
"Useless thing! He's lost his job, let's see what he'll do now!"
"waste!"
Ji Junsong belittled Ji Huaizhi to the point of being utterly worthless.
Seeing his father so angry, Ji Huailin didn't dare to say a word.
