Chapter 12 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd 12
Ji Dong was driving, and his tone was a little impatient: "What are you talking about?"
"She was beaten up on her way home today, and it was very serious. What excuse are we making?"
The old man was somewhat incredulous: "Why would someone hit her for no reason?"
"Now I know just how heartless you two can be."
"Dad, can you please stop being so unreasonable?" Ji Dong's tone changed as well: "I've noticed that you've changed a lot since Mom left."
"Why are you starting to argue and make things up too?"
Old Master Ji roared, "I'm being unreasonable? Ji Dong, do you have any conscience?"
"Do you think I want to cause trouble for you? It's your whole family that's gone too far."
Ji Dong listened to the old man's complaints on the phone, his expression full of impatience.
The old man's voice could still be heard on the phone: "I asked you to give me money for rent and Huaizhi's living expenses a while ago. I didn't ask for much, why didn't you give it to me?"
"Did you two discuss this before? Back when we lived in the village, you just wouldn't give it to us. The village grew its own vegetables and was self-sufficient."
"But this is in the city."
“Ji Dong’er, you’re really going too far these days. You won’t even go back to your hometown to pay respects to your mother’s grave.”
Ji Huaizhi came over and handed the old man a glass of water, telling him not to get agitated.
Then he took the phone.
After taking a deep breath and sipping water, the old man's mood improved considerably.
Ji Huaizhi heard Ji Dong speaking on the phone:
"Why should I give Ji Huaizhi living expenses in his current state? I should have known better than to take him in. Look at him, does he even treat me like a father?"
"Besides, as I already said, Tang Juan is still in the hospital after her accident and can't go back because she has too many things to do."
Why are you so determined to hold onto this?
"If you don't want to go back, then don't go back." Ji Huaizhi's voice was very soft.
Upon hearing his voice, Ji Dong immediately raised his voice several octaves: "What exactly happened this afternoon?"
"Your mom said her accident had something to do with you?"
"How did I give birth to such a piece of barbecued pork? Are you here for revenge?"
Ji Huaizhi: "If your family has been busy lately and you don't want to go back, then don't go back. As for not taking living expenses, that money must be used for something else."
"When I grow up, just don't ask me for money anymore."
The old man looked at his grandson with a puzzled expression.
How could he say these things so calmly?
Ji Dong: "Can I rely on you? I really regret bringing you to the city now."
"Don't come back this time. Just stay in your hometown with your grandfather!"
Ji Huaizhi ignored his words: "Are you driving?"
"You'd better be careful when writing that; it's dangerous to talk on the phone while driving."
Upon hearing the word "danger," Ji Dong's heart skipped a beat, just as a motorcycle sped past him.
Startled, he flinched at the steering wheel and quickly steadied it.
"grass!"
He blurted out a few curses and cursed Ji Huaizhi a few more times. When he turned his head to look, the phone had already been hung up.
She frowned, recalling what Tang Juan had said about Ji Huaizhi cursing her at the hospital: "It's really like seeing a ghost."
I drove back carefully, and when I stopped in the underground parking garage, I inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Dong frowned: "Why am I so nervous? That's ridiculous."
The next day, Ji Huaizhi bought tickets and took his grandfather back by bus. The old man was still very unhappy on the way.
"We haven't had anywhere to stay for over a month, but we still have to pay rent. It's really a loss for us."
“We don’t live inside, but all our things are inside. Grandpa, don’t worry, I have a way.”
Old Master Ji: "Don't worry about me, I still have two coins left. I'm just unhappy about your father." Old Master Ji thought of the small stall Ji Huaizhi had mentioned earlier:
"Can I set up a small stall like you mentioned before?"
Ji Huaizhi smiled: "Of course."
"Our school has so many students, and there are so many stalls at the entrance. We can think about it when school starts."
Grandpa Ji nodded: "Well, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I'll give it a try."
“Your parents aren’t reliable. I need to save some money for your college tuition before I can’t work anymore.”
Ji Huaizhi: "Grandpa, you must believe in your grandson."
"Of course I believe you." The old man's mood improved considerably after saying this.
Ji Dong took the day off the next day and casually cooked some plain porridge to visit Tang Juan.
I felt uneasy when I got on the bus, so I frowned, fastened my seatbelt, and put my things away.
I drove very carefully on the road.
Just as they were about to arrive at the hospital, Ji Dong's phone rang.
It was Ji Xianli's call. He got up but couldn't find anyone at home, forgetting that his mother was injured and in the hospital.
Ji Dong picked up the phone and answered it. When he looked up, he was surprised to see a truck suddenly dart out from the intersection, and the two vehicles collided head-on.
A loud bang.
Ji Dong lost consciousness.
The porridge in the passenger seat was also spilled all over the floor.
"dad?"
"Dad, where did you go?"
The noise from the side grew louder and louder.
Before Ji Xianli could speak, he heard a loud bang. He cautiously called out "Dad" a few times, but there was no response from the other end.
There was only noise.
The father and son had just gotten out of the car and were looking for another vehicle to go into the mountains.
Ji Huaizhi excused himself to go to the restroom and left. Seeing that his grandfather hadn't come over, he answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Are you Ji Dong's family? Ji Dong was in a car accident." A male voice answered, but surprisingly, a child picked up the phone.
"Little friend, can you give the phone to an adult at home?"
Ji Huaizhi said in an innocent voice, "No, my grandfather is not in good health. I'm afraid he'll be frightened if he hears this news."
The other person also felt it was inappropriate: "Little boy, could you find someone else who knows your father to answer the phone?"
"You can look for Tang Juan, she's his wife."
The voice on the other end said, "Ms. Tang seems to be hospitalized right now."
“She’s fine, it’s not serious. Don’t look for my grandfather, I’m afraid he’ll be traumatized.”
"Uh..." The other person seemed surprised by this situation: "Your father's condition isn't serious, he just needs someone to take care of him."
"Then you should go find Ms. Tang. I'll tell my grandfather slowly. Goodbye."
Then Ji Huaizhi turned off his phone.
What business is it of theirs?
"Grandpa, let's find a place to rest first. Uncle will come to pick us up in a little while."

Ji Dong lay on the bed and started cursing.
He was mainly criticizing Ji Xianli, saying that he had clearly left a note at home, so why did he call him? It caused Ji Xianli to have a car accident while answering the phone.
Tang Juan never expected that her husband would also end up in the hospital overnight.
They said they still couldn't get in touch with Ji Dong's father.
They didn't even bother to come and check on things at this point; they really are heartless.
I couldn't get through when I called.
"Alright, stop scolding. What does Xianli know?" Tang Juan looked at her son with heartache.
“He doesn’t know anything. We both got into trouble, and it scared him.”
Ji Dong's leg was still in a sling, and he didn't know when it would recover, which made him very anxious.
"I think Ji Huaizhi is a jinx." Ji Dong felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about what Ji Huaizhi had said yesterday.
Something really happened today, all because of answering the phone.
Why does this feel so creepy?
"You noticed it too?" Tang Juan said, recalling the day she was beaten. "I felt like he was cursing me. Were you cursed by him too?"
Ji Dong: "Damn it, what bad luck! We both got into trouble one after the other, and just when we needed help, they went back to their hometown."
Tang Juan: "How could they possibly come to help?"
"We can only hire a caregiver. Now that we're all in trouble, the most important thing is the upcoming lawsuit."
Ji Dong sighed heavily: "I'll call them back myself in a couple of days. If they still don't answer, I'll call Ji Yun."
"Every day is just a series of trivial matters."
