Chapter 20 I'm a Brother-Supporting Demon 20
Upon hearing this, Ji Junsong glanced at the table, picked up a fruit plate, and smashed it directly on the man's head: "You unfilial son! How dare you marry into his family!"
Ji Huailin covered his head: "So what if I married into your family?"
"If you won't buy it for me, someone else will!"
"Ah! I'll beat you to death!" Ji Junsong was furious: "I'm not dead yet! You, a grown man, actually went to marry into my family; you're no longer my son!"
"No, that's not it. If it weren't for you guys, Minmin wouldn't have broken up with me."
"That woman is a gold digger!"
Ji Huailin wouldn't listen to a word: "So what if I want to hook up with women? I want to, and now that I can, why can't I?"
Ji Junsong: "I do not agree to this marriage."
"Then you should buy me a house."
Liu Jinhua said anxiously, "We can't marry into the family; that's too unambitious."
"My brother was successful, but now he's lost his job and is about to marry into another family."
Ji Huailin: "You all forced me to do this!"
"This is all your own doing. You drove my brother away because of your favoritism."
The elderly couple watched him leave again, one cursing and the other anxious: "What kind of mess is this?"
Ji Junsong roared, "They all want my money! I'm not giving it to them!"
"I'd rather take it to my grave than let you spend it!"
"Useless thing!"
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Liu Jinhua was sitting on the sofa, on the verge of tears. Seeing him still yelling like that made her even angrier: "I already said I'd pay him the richest man in the world, what are you doing?"
"Our two perfectly healthy sons have been forced to the point that neither of them acknowledges us anymore."
Ji Junsong snapped at her, "Isn't this your child?"
"Isn't this your child?"
The Ji family's affairs became a laughing stock among the neighbors.
Ji Huaizhi and his wife were oblivious to everything else.
Looking at the freshly printed royalties, Ji Huaizhi felt a great sense of accomplishment.
This month, I received a total of 180,000 yuan in royalties after tax, half of which was the copyright fee for adapting short dramas.
When Dong Shuxiang brought in the fruit, she was stunned.
"My God, am I seeing things?"
Ji Huaizhi grasped her hand: "No, your man is amazing, isn't he?"
"It hasn't been long, and your royalties are already sky-high." Dong Shuxiang cradled his head. "Don't brag about it outside; we'll keep a low profile and make our fortune quietly."
Ji Huaizhi kissed her palm; his hand still smelled of fruit from cutting it. "Okay."
"I'll take you to buy jewelry tomorrow. Didn't you say you liked gold before?"
"I'll go buy them tomorrow, and I'll buy the heavy ones."
"Thank you, honey, kisses."

Ji Huaizhi was surprised when he learned that Ji Huailin was going to marry into the family, because he thought that Ji Huailin could coax the money from his parents to buy a house.
Listening to Liu Jinhua crying sadly on the other end of the phone, I felt no emotion.
"I don't understand what you're trying to say."
"Why did it turn out like this?" Liu Jinhua asked sadly, "How did things become like this between you and Huailin?"
“Huaizhi, we can’t get in touch with your brother. He came back once in the middle of the trip and probably took the household registration book. We can’t reach him now. Why don’t you give him a call and try to persuade him?”
Ji Huaizhi: "You can go find him, go find that girl, go find his boss."
"If this gets out of hand, the other party won't dare let him marry into the family."
Liu Jinhua's crying subsided, indicating that she had listened to what was being said.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." Ji Huaizhi was about to hang up the phone.
The other person said anxiously, "Huaizhi, don't... your wife is five months pregnant, and your father and I haven't come to see her yet."
"Give me your address, we'll buy some things and come visit you."
Ji Huaizhi: "No need, you should go about your family matters."
"I cherish you... goodbye..."
The call ended quickly, and Ji Junsong knew the outcome just by looking at her expression.
A sudden, absurd feeling welled up in Liu Jinhua's mind.
How did life end up like this?
Neither of her sons wanted to come back.
"I won't talk about Ji Huaizhi, but Ji Huailin really disappointed me!" Ji Junsong got angry just thinking about his youngest son.
"Haven't we been good enough to him? You ingrates! None of you are any good!"
"Even more so Ji Huailin!"
Liu Jinhua did not speak.
She didn't know what to do next.
...
When Dong Shuxiang's belly got a little bigger, she took maternity leave.
While Ji Huaizhi was taking a walk with her, he suddenly received a phone call. After calmly answering the call, he drove her to the Dong family's house.
"You mean Ji Huailin beat your dad so badly he ended up in the hospital?"
Dong Shuxiang was shocked.
"Okay, I'll go check first. I'll take you to my parents' place; I've already called them."
“Okay.” Dong Shuxiang looked at his calm face and asked, “Aren’t you in a hurry?”
Why should I be in such a hurry?
After arriving at the hospital, Liu Jinhua's eyes were swollen from crying.
Seeing Ji Huaizhi arrive was like seeing a pillar of support.
"Huaizhi, your brother is a beast! He beat your dad like this. He has no conscience!"
Then I tried to help Ji Junsong up: "Huaizhi is here. I told him to go and educate his younger brother."
Ji Huaizhi: "I'm such a grown man, no matter how I try to educate him. If it doesn't work, let the police educate him."
Liu Jinhua had a bad feeling: "Huaizhi, your father was beaten by your brother and is hospitalized, and you don't even react?"
Ji Junsong was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and his body was wrapped in gauze, indicating that Ji Huailin had used lethal force.
"What was my reaction? I came over for a quick look and then left. Shushu is heavily pregnant, and I'm worried about leaving her alone. I'll be gone in a little while."
Upon hearing Ji Huaizhi's words, Ji Junsong pointed a trembling finger at him and said, "You..."
"Oh, me? I just came to see how your most filial youngest son treats you." Ji Huaizhi's attitude made them even angrier.
Liu Jinhua approached and said, "Huaizhi, we were wrong."
"We were really wrong. Your dad was beaten like this by Huailin, don't you feel anything at all?"
Ji Huaizhi looked at his father lying on the bed: "No."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
He turned and walked towards the door, then suddenly turned back: "By the way, have you paid the medical bills?"
Liu Jinhua's eyes lit up, and she said in a wronged tone, "No, we haven't even eaten yet."
"Oh, then you guys go and hand it in. Remember to eat, I'll be going now."
Ji Huaizhi didn't look back this time.
The couple watched his retreating figure, feeling as if they had been played for a fool.
