Chapter 24 Life Swap
Sun Qiao was so angry that her hands trembled. She glared at Feng Li and then slapped her again.
Ji Gangqiang stopped her, saying, "What's done is done, sister-in-law, there's nothing you can do about it if you're angry!"
Sun Qiao slapped Ji Gangqiang again: "I'll hit you too!"
"Since they want to know the result sooner, then let them do it. The two children are coming back with me first!" Sun Qiao said with a dark face.
Ji Gangqiang felt a chill run down his spine as he watched his two sons leave without hesitation. Was he pushing another child away as well?
"Why did you suddenly say that? Wasn't it supposed to be after the college entrance exam? You're being too hasty." Ji Gangqiang stood up and pointed at her.
Feng Li said expressionlessly, "I just can't stand Sun Qiao's smugness. Seeing her uncomfortable makes me feel better."
Ji Xiong's face darkened: "Troublemaker! You don't deserve to be a mother, neither do you!"
Feng Li didn't care how they criticized her.
Since it's already happened, and neither of the children likes me, what's the point?
Let's just destroy them all.
"Dad, don't be angry, I'll talk to her." Ji Gangqiang tried to calm his father down.
Ji Xiong looked around, picked up a wooden stick, and hit Ji Gangqiang on the shoulder: "How can you be so selfish? How far are you going to cause trouble?"
"What good is she? You're no better than anyone else, a den of snakes and rats."
Ji Gangqiang's shoulder slumped, and he struck Feng Li's arm with the next blow of his stick.
"Get out of here! Get out of here! And never come back!" Ji Xiong roared.
"This is our home! You gave us this land back then!" Feng Li declared defiantly.
Ji Xiong: "Then I'll take it back. From now on, Yao Guang and you guys don't deserve to live here!"
Ji Gangqiang: "Dad, don't worry, don't be angry."
"What's done is done, there's no going back no matter how much you try!"
Ji Xiong threw the stick at him: "You idiot, you're such a jerk!"
Ji Jiao was confused when she came back. During this time, she had been making clothes for people at the shop and had always come back after mealtimes.
She had just returned home when she heard people from the neighborhood stop her and ask what was making noise at home.
"What's wrong with Grandpa?"
Ji Xiong walked into the house with his hands behind his back, ignoring everyone. Ji Jiao frowned: "Where's Yaoguang?"
“From now on, your younger brother will be Ji Huaizhi, and Yaoguang will be your second uncle’s child.” Feng Li said directly, “Ji Jiao, I know you heard us talking when you were little.”
Ignoring Ji Jiao's surprised expression, Feng Li continued, "You should have come back sooner. So many people know, I don't believe they won't believe it."
“Judging from Gangzheng’s eyes, he must have believed it, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so angry.” Ji Gangqiang said dejectedly, “You told them so quickly, which only makes them realize that we don’t care about them at all, and will only push them further away.”
"I don't care! I'm going to suffocate if this keeps up!" Feng Licai didn't care about any of that.
"Mom and Dad! What are you doing? They're about to take the college entrance exam, how can you be so clueless?" Ji Jiao stomped her foot angrily, "It's not that I'm wrong, but you and Dad are both clueless. You really don't care about their future at all!"
"What do I care about? They don't care about me, their mother, so why should I care about them?" Feng Li roared, her expression contorted. "You ungrateful wretches!"
"Those who disown their own mothers will be struck by lightning!"
Looking at their disheveled appearance, Ji Jiao couldn't help but sneer, "No wonder you were beaten up like this today, it was your second uncle and aunt who did it, wasn't it?"
"I think the blows were too light."
After saying that, Ji Jiao left, not wanting to see them again.
Sun Qiao sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window in silence. Ji Gang was focused on driving and looking ahead. Ji Yaoguang pursed his lips and glanced at Ji Huaizhi.
Ji Huaizhi also looked over: "What do you want to say?"
Ji Yaoguang: "It's nothing."
His older sister called him, but the atmosphere in the car was too heavy for him to answer right now.
Upon arriving at the destination, Ji Huaizhi gave the things to his father, and then forcefully plucked a tuft of Ji Yaoguang's hair.
"It hurts, let me pluck your hair." He reached out, but Ji Huaizhi dodged him.
Ji Huaizhi plucked out his own hair, put it in a box, wrote his name on it, and handed it to Ji Gangzheng.
"Are you going together?" He glanced at Sun Qiao, who hadn't gotten out of the car.
"Okay, you and Yaoguang stay home and behave yourselves. Don't worry about anything else. Your dad and I will take care of it." Sun Qiao's tone was gentle, but she seemed to have suffered quite a shock.
"Mom, no matter what the result is, I will always be your son. If possible, Yaoguang can also be your son." Ji Huaizhi wanted them to do a paternity test as soon as possible to put their minds at ease.
He nudged Yaoguang's shoulder before realizing what was happening: "Yes, Second Aunt, you or Second Uncle used to hold parent-teacher conferences for me. The school thought Huaizhi and I were brothers born of the same mother!"
Sun Qiao forced a smile: "Don't worry, don't think about it."
After the car drove away, Ji Yaoguang said, "My second aunt kept telling us not to think about it, but actually, I was the one who was thinking about her the whole time."
"It looks like she won't be able to sleep until the results come out." Ji Yaoguang sighed and looked at Ji Huaizhi again:
"What should I do if the paternity test results are the same as what my parents said?"
"No, it won't happen." Ji Huaizhi smiled.
Ji Yaoguang: "You don't understand my parents, sigh..."
He sighed and went inside, grabbing an ice pop from the fridge: "If that's true, then I'll have to move in, and you'll have to move out."
Ji Huaizhi kicked him: "Then get out now."
"No." Ji Yaoguang hugged the sofa.
I suddenly remembered to call my older sister back.
After asking about the situation on the phone, the older sister remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Yaoguang, will you still call me 'sister' from now on?"
"Big sister, were you also affected by this?" Ji Yaoguang lay half-reclined on the sofa, looking at the ceiling. "Actually, Huaizhi is right. No matter what the outcome, it won't affect our sibling relationship."
"Then I'm relieved, Yaoguang. It's good that you didn't grow up with your parents when you were little." Ji Jiao couldn't help but cry.
Yaoguang's eyes darkened when he heard her crying: "Sister, is what Mom and Dad said true? You know about this too?"
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yaoguang went to Ji Huaizhi's room, sat on his bed and looked at the large room. The bed was covered with a soft four-piece bedding set, there was a wardrobe in the room, and a desk in front of the window.
You can tell that the owner of this room is very clean, and you can also tell how much the second aunt values Ji Huaizhi.
"Brother, what if..."
(I had something to do today, so there's only one chapter. I'll finish it tomorrow morning.)
"What would you do if I really were my second uncle and aunt's child?" Ji Yaoguang thought about what his eldest sister had just said and began to imagine it.
How should he face Ji Huaizhi?
Will his second uncle and aunt take him back and abandon Ji Huaizhi?
“Do nothing, let the results speak for themselves.” Ji Huaizhi looked at Ji Yaoguang.
"So much time has passed since that happened, and we were just born and look exactly alike. How can you be sure they really switched them?"
Ji Huaizhi said calmly.
Sun Qiao and Ji Gangzheng handed over the items to the testing center and paid the money. They were already convinced that what Feng Li and the others had said was true. Ji Gangzheng also remembered that Ji Huaizhi's face was indeed purple when he was a child.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law also mentioned it.
“Gangzheng, what should we do if it’s true?” Sun Qiao cried, not daring to do so in front of the child.
“If they really did such a thing, then we’ll take both children back. They’re adults now, and so sensible. Don’t they know who’s good to them?” Ji Gang said, supporting his wife’s shoulders.
Sun Qiao covered her face, on the verge of collapse: "You don't understand. Our child has been right under our noses for so many years, a left-behind child, and the child we've loved for so many years is the child of the murderer who switched our child. I am..."
If it's true, Sun Qiao wants both children.
How should she face Ji Huaizhi after that?
This son I've loved for so many years.
"Let's wait for the results." Ji Gang was holding her shoulder, preparing to go back.
After that, Ji Yaoguang seemed to forget about it and spent his days reading and doing homework. He felt that only by filling his time could he stop thinking about these upsetting things.
Tang Guixiang didn't know what had happened, but she sensed that something was off about the atmosphere at home.
When asked, Ji Gangzheng wouldn't answer.
Just before the college entrance examination, Ji Xiong came to see Yao Guang, and Tang Guixiang learned the truth from Ji Xiong.
Ji Xiong was surprised that she didn't know that they had all kept it from Tang Guixiang. He felt a pang of guilt, realizing that he had sabotaged things again.
Tang Guixiang's heart tightened, and she angrily looked around before picking up a broom and hitting Ji Xiong in the face.
"You old geezer! You didn't say a word about something this big, your heart is rotten to the core!" Tang Guixiang seized the opportunity to beat him up.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" Ji Xiong cried out as he was being hit.
"You heartless wretch, how could there be people like you?" Tang Guixiang was furious. "Get out of here! You slut!"
"Wait a minute, I only found out later," Ji Xiong explained.
But Tang Guixiang didn't believe it: "How could that be? Your good-for-nothing son must have told you, you rotten-hearted bastards."
As they were beating each other, Tang Guixiang threw down the broom and started crying, "How could you be so mean? You rotten people! You sluts! Why don't you just die?"
Ji Xiong stood in front, pursing his lips.
When Ji Yaoguang and Ji Huaizhi returned and saw this scene, they knew why. They looked at each other, and Ji Huaizhi went forward to comfort Tang Guixiang. Ji Yaoguang asked his grandfather what happened.
Tang Guixiang looked at this and then at that, and cried even harder.
Holding Ji Huaizhi's arm, he looked him up and down: "How could he not be my grandson? I raised him."
Ji Huaizhi grasped Tang Guixiang's shoulder: "Grandma, we've already done the paternity test. Logically, Mom and Dad should have picked it up today."
Ji Yaoguang hasn't thought about this matter recently.
The two brothers devoted themselves entirely to their studies, and no one in the family mentioned the matter during this time.
"Waaaaah, why didn't those two damned people die out there?" Tang Guixiang cried, clutching her chest.
Just then, Ji Gang and Sun Qiao returned, carrying an opened brown paper document bag. They were both smiling when they saw the mess in the house and were stunned.
"Mom! What's wrong?" Ji Gang thought something had happened to Tang Guixiang.
"What's going on? That bastard Ji Xiong said my grandson isn't my grandson anymore." Tang Guixiang looked helplessly at the couple.
Ji Yaoguang and Ji Huaizhi's eyes were already on the file bag on the sofa.
The couple exchanged a glance, and Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, that's right, the results are in."
Ji Yaoguang stepped forward and picked up the file bag, and Ji Huaizhi also leaned closer to look at the file bag.
Tang Guixiang excitedly grasped their hands: "Really? That means they lied?"
Ji Gangzheng nodded: "Yes, maybe they're not lying. The child was so young at the time, they might have made a mistake in their nervousness when they switched the children. But don't worry, the results show that Huaizhi is our child and Yaoguang is our relative."
Ji Yaoguang read through all the results. Ji Xiong, hearing their conversation, also went up to look, but he couldn't quite understand the dense text.
"Yaoguang, what does it say?" Ji Xiong asked anxiously. How could it be wrong again?
Ji Yaoguang looked at his grandfather and smiled bitterly: "That's right, Ji Huaizhi is the child of my second uncle and aunt. My biological father is Ji Gangqiang. To be honest, I really wish I were the child of my second uncle and aunt."
A subtle light flickered in Ji Huaizhi's eyes, as if he had known this outcome all along.
Ji Xiong frowned: "What are all these?"
"Does that mean they didn't switch the baby at all? That's impossible. I overheard them talking and they said the baby was switched in the hospital because the second wife was having a difficult labor and they couldn't take care of the baby at the time, so they switched the baby secretly."
"The baby was switched and immediately entered the ward, so did you make a mistake with the hair at that time?"
Based on his understanding of his son, Ji Xiong was certain that the child had been switched.
Sun Qiao stepped forward: "Impossible. The name was written on the hair sample from the beginning, so it's impossible to make a mistake. If you and the others don't believe me, you can redo it, but that doesn't change the fact that the child wasn't switched at birth."
Ji Gangzheng recalled the scene in the ward back then; it seemed that their strange behavior at the time indicated they were planning to do something bad.
“They did want to do that, but perhaps because of their nervousness and the fact that the children looked so alike, they made a mistake from the start.” Ji Gangzheng’s tone was cold, as was his gaze.
"Dad, please take this document back and take a look."
Ji Xiong pursed his lips: "That's good, since there's no mistake..."
"Dad!" Ji Gang looked at his father and said, "That was just good luck, but the fact is they wanted to do bad things. From now on, I don't have this older brother anymore, and you shouldn't come here anymore."
“It would be a lie to say I don’t resent you. If you ever miss Yaoguang in the future, I will make him come back to see you.”
Ji Xiong couldn't believe it: "You don't recognize me either?"
“I’m your father! Isn’t this right? Just consider it a misunderstanding, okay?” Ji Xiong spread his hands, trying to persuade the couple.
Ji Gangzheng lowered his eyes: "It's true that they wanted to switch children, but we were lucky and God was on our side."
“You’ve kept such a big thing from me all this time, I can’t help but resent you.”
