Chapter 15 I'm a Brother-Supporting Demon 15
After much thought...
Ji Huailin still sent a message to his older brother: "Brother, I saw you and sister-in-law today."
I'm too ashamed to greet you.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response from the other end.
A notification sounded, and when I opened my phone screen, I saw that it was a message from Minmin.
How have things gone with your family regarding the house?
I like mid-rise buildings (shy)
Ji Huailin suddenly felt immense pressure and realized he shouldn't have offended his elder brother so badly.
When it was time to go to work, Dong Shuxiang drove her new car to the company.
When her colleagues saw it, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "You bought a car? You usually either take the subway or ride an electric scooter, you finally decided to buy a car."
"Your husband is willing to drive you around?"
Dong Shuxiang raised her chin slightly and patted the car: "My husband bought it for me. He works from home all day now, so he doesn't need it at all."
"Wow! Didn't your husband lose his job?" My colleague's eyes showed envy. "Did your family buy lottery tickets?"
The car she drives now is because her husband wants to buy a new car, so he gives her the old one.
Unexpectedly, Dong Shuxiang's husband would buy her a new car.
This car isn't a luxury car, but it still costs 350,000 yuan.
For an average family, that's not bad.
"What lottery? My husband bought it with his first royalties from writing and the compensation he received from his previous company."
The two chatted as they entered the company, and the colleague's eyes lit up when he heard about the payment for the manuscript.
"Royalties? Your husband doesn't stay home writing novels, does he?"
"You guessed it?"
My colleague clicked her tongue and said, "My husband also wrote one, a harem novel, but his writing dream died because nobody read it."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The two chatted as they exited the elevator.
Within a day, everyone in the company knew that Dong Shuxiang's husband was writing novels at home and had bought her a car with the royalties.
Dong Shuxiang did not deny it, but when asked, she would say that the bulk of the money for buying the car came from the compensation he received from his former company.
People are vain, and she was no exception.
She accepted all the envy and sour remarks from others.
Who doesn't like to hear others say, "Your husband treats you so well"?
Dong Shuxiang deleted and blocked her in-laws, but unexpectedly, they contacted Dong's parents directly.
When Dong Shuxiang received the call from her parents, she thought something had happened.
“Your in-laws called us. This time they were much more polite and even apologized to us.”
Dong Shuxiang curled her lip upon hearing this: "They're just after their own interests."
“Don’t say that to Huaizhi, they are his own parents.” Dong’s mother knew her daughter’s temperament: “Even if you don’t give them what they want, you should still do what your children are supposed to do and not give them any leverage.”
Dong Shuxiang: "I know, I won't say anything if they call Huaizhi."
Hearing her daughter say that, Dong's mother felt relieved.
"What your mother-in-law meant was that I should advise you to go and see them, so that people won't say you're unfilial."
"Just refuse to give you money and things when you ask, and keep a tight grip on Huaizhi's salary."
The last sentence sounded somewhat guilty to Dong's mother.
"Okay, I'm holding it tight." Dong Shuxiang chuckled.
"Mom, I have good news to tell you. Huaizhi bought me a car."
The other person was also surprised to hear this: "He's currently unemployed, so aren't you under a lot of pressure?"
Afraid that her mother would bring up the money issue again, Dong Shuxiang interrupted, "It's not much. Huaizhi's part-time job can be done long-term, and the salary is not low. We've been married for so long, and having a car is still very convenient."
"Okay, call Mom and Dad if anything happens."
"Come over for dinner during your holiday."
"OK."
When she got back, Dong Shuxiang saw Ji Huaizhi still sitting in front of the computer, typing away.
I could almost see the afterimage on my fingers.
I closed the door, picked up my apron, and started cooking.
After Ji Huaizhi finished writing, he realized it was getting late. Hearing cooking sounds outside, he knew that Dong Shuxiang had returned.
"Finished writing? Let's eat now."
The two were eating with the TV on when Ji Huaizhi brought up the phone call from the Ji family:
"They said they'd go over for dinner this weekend."
Dong Shuxiang: "They also called my mother, and my mother advised us to go back and take a look."
"Um."
"You've been in the study all day? Go for a walk after dinner, or your arms will get rusty," Dong Shuxiang instructed.
"knew."
While at work, Dong Shuxiang slacked off, thinking of buying Ji Huaizhi a keyboard.
When her colleague passed by, she couldn't help but whisper in her ear with a smile, "Buying something for your dear husband again?"
Dong Shuxiang was startled by her commotion: "You're here again! You scared me!"
My colleague laughed gleefully: "Hey! You and your husband have such a good relationship now, when are you going to have a child? I'm not happy to see you two so happy. I want a child to experience the hardships of life like we do."
Dong Shuxiang rolled her eyes elegantly: "I'm happy when you're unhappy."
"I'm still a baby myself, why would I need another baby?"
Seeing her smug look, her colleague nudged her head and said, "Look at you!"
"I can't stand how carefree you married people without children are."
After everyone left, Dong Shuxiang continued selecting keyboards.
Suddenly my body stiffened.
After blinking, I scrolled down on my phone to check the date. It seemed like my period hadn't come this month.
His expression kept changing, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking troubled. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
Suddenly, she recalled the scene of Ji Huaizhi acting up at home. It seemed that there were two times when Ji Huaizhi tried to get something because he was being too violent, but she stopped him.
It seems like something else was said at the time?
This time it will be fine.
Dong Shuxiang: "It should be alright... right?"
Because she was thinking too deeply, Dong Shuxiang couldn't help but blush.
When they got back, Ji Huaizhi had already prepared dinner.
Hearing the door open, she said, "You're on time today, just in time... for dinner."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Dong Shuxiang run to the restroom without even putting down her bag.
"Are you in such a hurry? Didn't you know to find a public restroom outside?"
Ji Huaizhi had just brought the food to the table when he suddenly heard Dong Shuxiang scream from the bathroom.
"ah!"
Hearing the commotion, Ji Huaizhi kicked the door open.
Before Dong Shuxiang's scream could even fade away, she cried out, "Ji Huaizhi!"
She stared wide-eyed in terror, holding a pregnancy test, her little mouth babbling incessantly: "I think I'm going to be a dad, no... you think you're going to be a mom."
"That's not right either."
Ji Huaizhi was amused by her appearance.
"I'll see for myself."
Ji Huaizhi took it over; there was a clear red line on it, and another line that was barely visible below.
Dong Shuxiang was still a little confused: "What should we do? How did we get it on the first try?"
Ji Huaizhi stared for a long time without saying a word.
Dong Shuxiang was a little unhappy: "Didn't you keep saying you wanted a child? What kind of attitude is this now?"
"I'm really strong."
Dong Shuxiang: "..."
"Aren't you annoying?!"
