Chapter 10 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd 10
"What you think is none of my business," Ji Huaizhi said coldly, looking at him. "He knows why I hit him."
"If he causes trouble again, I'll hit him again next time."
Tang Juan: "Do you believe I'll pretend I don't have a son like you from now on?"
Ji Huaizhi sneered: "You think you can threaten me like this? Let me tell you, I've never considered you my parents."
"To me, you are probably not as important as my eldest aunt."
Ji Huaizhi's words stunned Tang Juan.
This kid's words really make you want to punch him!
"Ji Huaizhi! I'm going to teach you a lesson today." Tang Juan said, raising her hand as if to slap him.
Tang Juan didn't expect him to take a step back.
She didn't hit him, but she almost fell over.
"What gives you the right to lecture me?" Ji Huaizhi's eyes were fierce.
This was the first time Tang Juan had ever seen him with such an expression.
"Because I'm your mother!" Tang Juan shouted.
Ji Huaizhi looked at her coldly, and with a slight upward curve of his lips, he uttered three words:
You don't deserve it.
Tang Juan was somewhat stunned.
Then Ji Huaizhi continued:
“Did you hear that? I said you don’t deserve it. You don’t deserve to be my mother. Neither you nor Ji Dong deserve it.”
“Neither of you treated me like a son, and I didn’t take either of you seriously either.”
Did you hear what I said?
Tang Juan was furious. The calmer he became, the more Tang Juan seemed like a madwoman.
"you....."
Do you know what you're saying?
Ji Huaizhi: "Of course I know what I'm talking about. And what's with that expression on your face right now?"
"You ignore me and still expect me to be a dutiful son?"
"I should have strangled you when I gave birth to you," Tang Juan said viciously.
Ji Huaizhi smiled and stepped forward: "But it's too late, you didn't strangle me."
"And from now on, your dearest son will always live in my shadow. I will show you just how useless your son is."
Tang Juan was so angry she was trembling.
I wanted to pull him down and slap him twice.
But to her surprise, he raised his hand and slapped her hand away.
"How dare you lay a hand on me?" Tang Juan asked in disbelief.
Then she saw Ji Huaizhi smile.
He silently uttered the word "idiot" and left.
Tang Juan was so angry that she jumped up and down, yelling and cursing at the school gate.
Ji Xianli, who was standing to the side, was startled to see his mother like this. She seemed to be furious with Ji Huaizhi.
Is he really that good?
Even his parents couldn't do anything about him.
"He's so infuriating! Do you know how outrageous he was at the school gate today?" Tang Juan complained to Ji Dong as soon as she got back.
"He hit me and called me an idiot!"
“Look at the child your parents raised, they raised him so well. He even said he didn’t take us seriously and looked down on us.”
"And you even called your other son a good-for-nothing!"
Tang Juan was very agitated when she spoke; she couldn't accept being spoken to like that by her son.
This is an insult.
"Look at this, what are we going to do?" Tang Juan's chest heaved, she looked extremely angry.
"We should never have brought them here in the first place; they should have been left to live their whole lives in that small mountain village!"
"What's with this little brat acting so arrogantly?"
Ji Dong was already in a bad mood, and hearing her say that only fueled his anger.
"Damn it! That little bastard!"
Tang Juan stood up and warned, "From now on, we will only have Xianli as our son."
"Your dad isn't allowed to give you any money anywhere. If I find out you're giving your dad money again, I'll go to him and ask for it back!"
Ji Dong looked up: "You mean we're just going to ignore them?"
"right!"
Tang Juan said decisively, "Never mind. Don't they look down on us? Why should we still pay them rent?"
"Don't you know to save the money for your son?"
"Especially Ji Huaizhi, I'll see how he ends up in the future."
Ji Xianli was pleased to hear them say that.
"Okay, from now on, Mom and Dad will only have me as their child, I'll be the only child in the family!"
"I hate him. He's so annoying at home that I can't study."
"Mom and Dad, I hate him."
Ji Dong sat on the sofa, propping himself up on his knees as he pondered.
Tang Juan nudged him: "You're not allowed to give me any money, I've already told you."
“If you give me money, I’m really capable of going to him to ask for it.”
Then he hugged his youngest son and said, "Ji Huaizhi comes from the countryside, so his grades are definitely not good."
"The schools in the mountains offer no education whatsoever. Your grades must completely surpass Ji Huaizhi's, understand?"
Ji Xianli nodded: "I know."
“He’s the real trash. I know my son is the best. You have to crush him in the future.”

Grandpa Ji saw that Ji Huaizhi had acquired a cell phone.
When asked where he got it from, he said he bought it with a bonus, and then took out a new cell phone from his bag.
"There's some left, it's yours."
Grandpa Ji: "What kind of bonus is it? Enough for you to buy two cell phones?"
Ji Huaizhi: "It's mainly because I participate in a lot of competitions, so don't worry, Grandpa."
"This is my way of showing my filial piety to you."
"Then I'll have to ask your teacher." Old Master Ji looked at his expression, trying to see if he was feeling guilty.
"Sure, Grandpa, you can just ask him at any parent-teacher conference in the future."
Ji Huaizhi remained unfazed.
Grandpa Ji: "What a pity, you should have bought me one."
“That old pager should have been thrown away long ago. You can use this phone to make video calls to your aunt, and you can call me if you can’t reach me.”
Ji Huaizhi taught his grandfather how to operate it.
Grandpa Ji didn't quite know how to do it, but it looked quite interesting.
"I need to tinker with it myself."
"Okay, I'll download a short video for you so you can watch it when you're bored."
Grandpa Ji rubbed his hands together: "An old man like me doesn't know how to do this."
"It's very simple. Just ask me if you don't understand anything in the future."
The old man was visibly pleased after taking the phone.
"You need to study hard! Look at you, you're able to afford rent and a phone now because of your education. Only through studying can you have a bright future!"
Ji Huaizhi nodded.
After that, the old man became addicted to playing on his phone, and sometimes he didn't even have time to weed the yard.
I'm always scrolling through short videos and laughing happily.
Ji Huaizhi came back and saw that his grandfather had forgotten to cook again, and sighed.
Internet addiction is harmful.
It wasn't until Grandpa Ji heard the cooking sounds that he realized another day had passed without him noticing.
Feeling guilty, she went out to cook: "Ahem, Huaizhi is back."
"I'll cook, you go do your homework."
"I've finished my homework, Grandpa. You can't keep staring at your phone. Remember to go for a walk after a while," Ji Huaizhi reminded him.
"I understand." Grandpa Ji was embarrassed, never expecting to be lectured by his grandson about spending less time on his phone.
"You go ahead, I'll cook," Grandpa Ji said again.
"When does your school let out for summer vacation? I need to go back to visit your grandma's grave."
Ji Huaizhi thought for a moment and said, "Next month."
"Okay, I'll call your dad then, and he'll drive us back together."
Ji Huaizhi remained silent.
The old man thought he was still angry with his father.
In fact, Ji Huaizhi knew they wouldn't be going back; they would probably have to take a bus back by themselves.
But he hasn't said anything yet.
Just as the meal was almost ready, Grandpa Ji turned around and noticed that Ji Huaizhi was holding his phone and seemed to be playing a game.
"Dinner's ready."
"I'll be finishing up here soon too."
Then a sentence in English came from the phone, and I saw him put away his phone, serve himself rice, and eat.
"Your most important task right now is to study. You can't keep playing games and it will affect your studies."
Ji Huaizhi looked up and glanced at his grandfather.
That look seemed to say: How dare you say that to me?
Grandpa Ji felt he couldn't continue down this path of decadence, lest the children follow his example.
So he decided to find something to do.
So that you won't get too bored at home and just play on your phone all the time.
The old man's job was to collect recyclables. He saw old ladies in the neighborhood collecting cardboard and water bottles to sell.
He can do this job.
He's physically strong and can pick up bottles faster than others.
Ji Huaizhi would sometimes help his grandfather carry things when he saw them on the street.
If Ji Xianli sees this, he will find someone at the school to catch crickets.
I told my mom when I got home.
Tang Juan was pleased to hear that the father and son were already collecting bottles again.
She's happy as long as she's not doing well.
"Don't tell your dad about this, or he'll give them money."
“I know my mom, so I won’t give them money.”
"Yes, that's it. We'll save the money for you to use."
When Ji Huaizhi was at school, he noticed that everyone was watching him, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
They assumed that Ji Xianli had said something outside again.
Unexpectedly, after he sat down, his classmates came up to him and said, "Ji Huaizhi, I heard from people in the class that your King of Glory account is the highest rank?"
"Still ten stars."
Ji Huaizhi hadn't expected them to be talking about this.
I casually agreed, but I didn't expect them to get so excited.
"Oh my god, the highest level in our school is Diamond, I didn't expect him to be a King, and with ten stars."
At this point, the child becomes engrossed in the game, and their excitement boils over the moment they start playing.
"My God, how did he get that account? Is that account his?"
"Didn't they say he was very poor? Does he even have a cell phone to play with?"
"Ji Huaizhi, how did you get promoted? You're even higher than my brother." Someone asked out of curiosity.
“I leveled up myself, and now I’m doing paid boosting. The current price is five yuan per star, and the price increases as you go higher.” Everyone looked even more surprised after Ji Huaizhi finished speaking.
"Are you doing account boosting? Are you really that good at games?"
Ji Huaizhi did not reply.
However, everyone started actively inviting Ji Huaizhi to play games together.
Friendships between boys are that simple.
Being able to play games together makes us good brothers.
The younger students also heard that the older students were very good at playing games and even took on proxy gaming jobs.
Ji Xianli has recently become obsessed with games, but he can never reach the Gold rank.
So he was going to pay someone to make a call for him, but he didn't expect to find out that the person was Ji Huaizhi. He laughed when he heard that.
He probably can't even afford a cell phone.
That's hilarious.
With final exams approaching, Tang Juan started urging him to study.
With a quick glance, he would steer the conversation towards Ji Huaizhi:
"Mom, I heard from the older students that my brother has learned to play video games now and doesn't care about studying at all, all he does is play video games."
"You can't make a good impression." Tang Juan pouted.
"Yes, he did terribly at school. His grades were bad, and no one liked him," Ji Xianli lied.
The more you hear it, the more you start to believe it's true.
Every time he says this, his mother thinks he's doing very well and then rewards him.
But I never expected that the final exams would actually come.
He knew he was in trouble when he got one of the lowest grades because he played games and then they said there was going to be a parent-teacher conference.
Ji Huaizhi, however, went on stage to receive an award because he ranked first in the entire school.
When school was over, he stopped Ji Huaizhi: "You cheated!"
Ji Huaizhi glanced at him, calmly walked forward, and kicked him when he got to him: "Get lost, you idiot."
Ji Xianli, who had just plopped down on the ground, watched him leave. Several older students followed him, glancing at him curiously.
How embarrassing.
At the parents' meeting, Mr. Ji wore his brand-new Zhongshan suit and looked radiant.
His grandson is the top student in the whole school.
People around him even asked him how he raised his children.
He would always say with a smile that the child was sensible on his own.
Seeing these city people looking at him with envy, he felt that his eldest grandson was promising and really made him proud.
He wanted to thank his child's homeroom teacher properly, and ask him to help his child participate in competitions with scholarships, but Ji Huaizhi pulled him aside and wouldn't let him say more.
"Why are you holding my hand, kid? I should be thanking your homeroom teacher properly."
Grandpa Ji complained.
Ji Huaizhi: "With so many people around, if you say it out loud, what will others think? Wouldn't that cause trouble for the teacher?"
Grandpa Ji nodded: "You're right. We can't make things difficult for the teacher, lest we don't get this opportunity next time."
When I was carrying my winter break homework and report card back home, I ran into Tang Juan and Ji Xianli in the hallway.
Tang Juan remained silent with a dark expression.
Ji Xianli's head was hanging down, clearly indicating that he had been scolded.
"How did Xianli do on the exam? Your brother got first place." Grandpa Ji felt it was okay for him to ask about his son's grades, since he was the child's grandfather.
Unexpectedly, Tang Juan immediately got angry: "What do you mean by first in the grade? Don't think others don't know."
"This is what you got by cheating."
She turned to look at Ji Huaizhi and said, "He has no manners at all. He doesn't even call me 'Mom'."
Ji Huaizhi: "I don't have a mother."
Grandpa Ji was also unhappy: "What cheating! The teacher said that Huaizhi's grades are usually very good, and he is very smart and quick to understand."
Why can't you stand to see him doing well?
Tang Juan didn't believe it at all, and just looked at Ji Huaizhi who was glaring at her: "What did you just say? Is this how your grandfather taught you?"
"Grandpa's gone." Ji Huaizhi urged, then turned to Tang Juan: "Be careful on your way back. You two are so sharp-tongued, you'll easily get beaten up outside."
Ji Xianli was somewhat afraid of Ji Huaizhi.
I also urged my mother to leave quickly.
Tang Juan shook off his hand: "What are you even learning at school? He gets first place in the whole grade, what are you doing?"
"I think I've been spoiling you too much."
This was the first time she had ever scolded her youngest son.
This stark contrast brought Ji Xianli to tears.
