Chapter 17 I'm a Brother-Supporting Demon 17
"Huai Zhi and I know we can't rely on you, but surely we can rely on Huai Lin?"
"You only have two sons. Don't you care about Huaizhi or Huailin?"
Dong Shuxiang's words made Ji Huailin look up.
“Yes, I can estimate what you have.” Ji Huaizhi smiled slightly: “It’s definitely over three million.”
Liu Jinhua's eyelids twitched: "What are you talking about? Your dad and I don't have any money."
Dong Shuxiang and Huaizhi exchanged a glance; they had guessed correctly.
Ji Huailin blinked. "My parents have so many in their hands?"
But why not take it out for him to use?
Ji Huaizhi lowered his eyes and smiled: "You don't need to mention it anymore. Our family will have a lot of expenses in the future."
“If you bring up the matter of borrowing money again, I will leave with Shuxiang right now.”
Listening to her husband, Dong Shuxiang immediately put down her chopsticks and made it seem like she was about to leave.
"Alright, alright!" Liu Jinhua got annoyed when she saw that they wouldn't listen to reason or threats: "Let's eat!"
The way he looked at Dong Shuxiang was as if he wanted to devour her.
Dong Shuxiang, on the other hand, ate with relish.
She had just finished what was in her bowl when Ji Huaizhi put another dish on her plate.
The sight of the two of them made others feel uneasy.
These two didn't react at all.
This made the three of them extremely anxious.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Liu Jinhua said sarcastically, "You've had your new house for so long, and we haven't even been there yet. You son and daughter-in-law are really filial!"
“I’m definitely more filial than Huailin. You guys spent all my salary and I only had a little over a million left, but I didn’t make a fuss. Isn’t that filial?” Ji Huaizhi spoke without any mercy.
That struck a nerve with Ji Junsong: "What do you mean by that?"
"Your parents can't spend your money anymore?"
"You've already spent it all, and now you're saying this, and you're asking me what I mean?"
Ji Junsong then realized that his eldest son had grown tall and strong.
And I, as a father, am not young anymore.
"You bought the house so long ago? You didn't even tell us to come and see it." Ji Junsong didn't look his son in the eye. "You haven't even let us have a single meal here."
"Of course you're welcome to come over when you have time," Dong Shuxiang said, feeling it was time to strike while the iron was hot.
This made Huaizhi completely disappointed in his parents.
"I'll need my mom's help when I get pregnant."
“What can I do to help? I’m no good, I’m too old.” Liu Jinhua refused without even thinking.
Just by listening to that, I knew it would involve taking care of the new mother during her postpartum period.
“Isn’t your mom retired now?” Liu Jinhua said matter-of-factly, “Anyway, she has nothing to do. When you get pregnant, your mom can take care of you.”
When Liu Jinhua heard her eldest son's cold laugh, she knew she had overreacted.
Just pretend to be sick when the time comes.
She knew it when she saw the look of annoyance in Dong Shuxiang's eyes.
Ji Huailin was already sitting silently to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing that the conversation was going off-topic, Liu Jinhua brought the topic back: "If you won't lend your brother money, I have another way."
Ji Junsong was afraid he would get angry soon, so he stopped talking.
He now realizes that he can't control this son.
"How about you let your younger brother use the house first, and then we can talk about it after he gets married? After all, marriage is a big deal. What do you think?"
Dong Shuxiang found it outrageous: "Mom! You're faking this marriage!"
"What do you mean by marriage fraud? That's so rude!"
Liu Jinhua glared at her: "What else do you suggest? If you won't lend me money, then I'll just have to borrow the house!"
"If your brother can't get married, it's your fault!"
"It's you who don't want him to get married!"
"If you're going to borrow money or a house, you'll at least borrow one of them, right?"
Liu Jinhua leaned closer to Ji Huaizhi and said, "Eldest son, you are the eldest son in our family. If we don't rely on you, who else can we rely on?"
"Your younger brother may be useless, but he still has you as his older brother, doesn't he?"
"Even if you break bones, they're still connected by tendons!"
“You’re the eldest in this family. I don’t know if someone said something to you or tried to sow discord among us. You weren’t like this before.”
At this point, Liu Jinhua couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
In the past, her son would have been heartbroken to death if she acted like this.
However, Ji Huaizhi was not the original owner of this body.
Looking at her coldly, he could only find it amusing: "Being your eldest son and his older brother must be really unlucky."
Liu Jinhua was so moved by his words that she could no longer cry.
“I think I’ve made myself very clear. Borrowing money is out of the question, and borrowing a house is even more out of the question. If you bring this up again, I’ll talk to his girlfriend.”
Ji Huaizhi's words made Ji Huailin, who had been silent, sit up straight.
"Brother, please don't."
"I'll think of a solution regarding the house."
Dong Shuxiang glanced at her brother-in-law.
The fact that he agreed so quickly probably means he already has a solution in mind.
Ji Huailin did indeed think of it; his parents had money.
It can only be used for him; he's their favorite youngest son.
He didn't want to offend his older brother too much, probably because his older brother had been too good to him in the past, so he always felt that as long as his older brother calmed down, everything would be fine.
There are always so many unavoidable situations between brothers.
He felt that his older brother was either forced into it or felt resentful because his parents were too biased.
To be honest, if he were the older brother, he would also feel resentful.
To only erupt at this point is already considered ninja-like.
I didn't enjoy the meal.
Liu Jinhua and Ji Junsong exchanged a glance; nothing had been settled.
Liu Jinhua stood up: "I'll go pack my things. In a little while, we'll stay at your new house together and take a look."
Dong Shuxiang felt repulsed, but didn't show it on her face.
Ji Huaizhi remained silent, but Ji Huailin was unwilling to accept it.
“Why go now? There are so many things to do at home. We should wait until my sister-in-law is heavily pregnant before we go.”
They've gone, so where is he going to get the money?
It couldn't be at my older brother's house, could it?
He didn't want his older brother to know about his parents' savings; after all, they were brothers, and he had no house, car, or wife yet.
"What would I do with such a big belly? Wouldn't I just be causing trouble?"
Liu Jinhua refused.
Back then, I went there to take care of her; now, I can just go for fun.
Ji Huaizhi: "How about this, it's Shushu's birthday in two months, then you can come over. What will happen to Huailin's business if you go to our place?"
"He definitely won't want to. Aren't you all worried about him getting married?"
Ji Junsong: "You don't want us to go to your new house?"
"How could that be? But I'm currently unemployed, so it would be great if Mom could come over and cook for the two of us." Ji Huaizhi gave a forced smile.
"Aren't you worried about Huailin's important business?"
These words left them speechless.
Dong Shuxiang's furrowed brows also smoothed out.
My husband always has a way.
Liu Jinhua was displeased: "You bought a house, and we, as your parents, didn't even say we'd go see it."
"What's the point of looking? Giving me money is the only truth."
"Shushu is pregnant, aren't you going to do anything about it? Yesterday, my parents-in-law sent her 20,000 yuan."
Their expressions changed the moment Ji Huaizhi asked for money.
"You in-laws, aren't you going to offer something?"
Liu Jinhua tilted her head: "Things happened suddenly, we weren't prepared..."
"Then transfer the money."
Liu Jinhua: "These are all just rumors. The pregnancy is still early. Let's talk about it after things stabilize."
Ji Huaizhi stood up: "Stingy."
"I didn't say anything about how much of my salary you spent, but now that Shushu is pregnant, sending you a red envelope is like asking for your lives?"
Ji Huaizhi's face was filled with anger.
No one expected him to react so strongly.
"You always say I'm the eldest son, but I haven't seen you all particularly happy that I have a child. It's just that my fate is different from Ji Huailin's!"
"Shushu, let's go."
