Chapter 26 The Ungrateful Man Who Sold His Sisters to Escape the Mountains
Ji Huaizhi, who had just returned to Chongqing, was also very busy, spending most of his time in the office.
Seeing her son so busy, Liu Ermei felt uneasy: "I didn't know Huaizhi was working so hard. I thought he wouldn't have to work anymore now that he's a boss."
Ji Changcheng sat on the balcony drinking tea, with a green lake right across from him.
"Being a boss definitely means having things to do. There's no easy way to make money outside."
Liu Ermei held the vegetables in her hand and said, "I just think Huaizhi is not young anymore. People his age in the village all have children."
"This can't go on forever. How can I find time to date when I'm so busy?"
"Let nature take its course." Ji Changcheng now knew they couldn't control their son, and they didn't want to do something bad with good intentions.
Liu Ermei felt empty inside: "I want to go back. I wonder how the chickens and ducks at home are doing."
Ji Changcheng: "They've only been here a short time. They really can't get used to a good life..."
Ji Changcheng will really enjoy this life. Life in the city is so comfortable, he can't stand it, that's why he wants to go back to farming!
Liu Ermei pursed her lips.
Because the house was quite large, Ji Huaizhi specifically hired a housekeeper to clean it.
Liu Ermei was feeling uncomfortable staying there and was planning to tell her son that she wanted to go back home sometime.
But seeing that her son was so tired that he didn't even have time to sleep through the night, she thought of cooking more meals for him here, and every day she would think of ways to make soup for him and send it to his company.
When I went to my son's company, I found that Ji Xiang was also extremely busy, so I brought an extra portion of food with me every day.
Ji Xiang was surprised when she first received the chicken soup from her mother; it was the first time she had ever received such care from her mother.
Liu Ermei comforted herself that this was all for her son's good fortune, but Ji Huaizhi saw through it but didn't say anything.
One day, Ji Huaizhi had just finished a meeting with his employees when Ji Xiang called him.
Her tone was somewhat anxious: "Brother, Mom just called me and said something happened at home, and she's been crying the whole time."
Upon hearing this, Ji Huaizhi frowned and told his assistant to cancel the afternoon's schedule and go home first.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard Liu Ermei's wailing: "You old geezer, you're over half a year old and you still won't behave!"
"How old are you? You still want to marry a younger woman!"
"How embarrassing!"
Ji Changcheng's face flushed red as he met his daughter's mocking expression, and he was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just helping her out."
"If you keep talking nonsense, get back to your village!"
"You're telling me to get back! If I go back, you'll be out there having a good time? I'm telling you, that's impossible!" Liu Ermei was furious.
I never imagined that my house would almost be broken into while I was away for just a short while.
"You're still helping her? How many times have you helped me in all these years of marriage?"
Liu Ermei was absolutely furious!
"Stubborn to the end!" Just then, Ji Changcheng saw his son come in and roared, "Huaizhi, take your mother back!"
"Staying here is just embarrassing for you!"
Liu Ermei felt her heart turn cold when she saw her husband like this.
Ji Huaizhi exhaled a breath of stale air. So this is where the original owner's genes came from: "It's you who wants to go back."
"Wasn't it you who did something shameful?"
Ji Changcheng's face stiffened: "I am your father!"
Ji Huaizhi ignored him and looked at the cleaning lady his assistant had hired. The cleaning lady was someone his assistant had hired from a cleaning company with a good reputation in Chongqing.
The cleaning lady must be so wronged.
"Boss, I'm truly innocent! I was just cleaning the place." She then pointed to the tools on the floor.
“I really didn’t have any other thoughts. He said he would help me, but I said, ‘How can I do that?’”
“I told him to go out for a walk so I could finish cleaning the house when he came back, but I didn’t expect him to insist on taking things from me and saying we should clean together.”
"She said some nonsensical things, and then Liu came. I was actually prepared to tell your assistant that I wouldn't come anymore after today."
The cleaning lady explained to herself, her anxious demeanor suggesting she had absolutely no desire to have anything to do with this man:
"I finally outlived my husband, how could I possibly be so foolish as to find another partner!"
After hearing this, Liu Ermei immediately stopped crying and said, "I knew it!"
"Turns out, they never even liked you!"
He stepped forward and slapped Ji Changcheng hard across the face: "You're the one who's showing off like a peacock! Ji Changcheng, I think you've really gotten too big for your britches!"
Ji Changcheng's face turned bright red; he hadn't expected himself to be so old.
She even lost face in front of her own son and daughter.
"You..." Ji Changcheng broke down in anger: "Believe it or not, my son will make sure you can never find a job in Chongqing again!"
The cleaning lady was still a little scared.
I just felt so wronged.
She will never take orders from families with men in their homes again!
Ji Xiang also found it somewhat unbelievable.
She didn't know what to do and looked at her second brother.
"Aunt Lin, right?" Ji Huaizhi asked.
Liu Ermei stopped arguing with Ji Changcheng and let her son speak.
"You can go back now. My assistant will settle your salary with you later."
Aunt Lin, who was cleaning, nodded and picked up her tools: "Okay, I'll be going now."
As he reached the door, he said to Liu Ermei, "Sister, I am also a woman, but I am not as fortunate as you. My son is unfilial."
"Believe me, I, Lin Changmei, would never do anything shameful."
Liu Ermei waved her hand: "You can go now, sister! I understand."
Once the outsiders have left, it's time to settle family matters.
Ji Huaizhi sat on the sofa: "Dad, if you're too idle, you should go back to your hometown and farm."
Ji Changcheng refused to listen to his son's words: "Are you trying to kick me out?"
"Look at what you've done! Aren't you ashamed?" Ji Huaizhi showed him no mercy.
After all, he was quite a responsible son.
"You're quite good at using my name to act like a kingpin outside. You wouldn't listen when I tried to reason with you before, so don't complain about how harsh I am with my words now."
"How old are you? You make my mom worry so much, and you still think you're so great?"
Liu Ermei no longer makes a fuss; now her son and daughter are both successful.
What is she afraid of?
Her son and Ji Xiang were clearly there to support her. As long as she was a good mother, grandmother, or great-grandmother, her later years would be more comfortable than many others.
Ji Changcheng's face turned pale and then red, and he glared at Liu Ermei with hatred that made his teeth itch.
"My son is successful now, can't I enjoy a couple of days of peace and quiet too?"
"I think you really can't tell the difference between inside and outside!"
"Look at your mother now! She's not even as decent a person as those old ladies taking a stroll. So what if I look down on her now?"
Liu Ermei felt a sharp pain in her heart and couldn't help but cry out, "You're not human, Ji Changcheng! You despise me now?"
"When we were young, you said you would be good to me for the rest of your life!"
Ji Changcheng: "You believe what men say?"
Ji Huaizhi said coldly, "Mom, just say what you're thinking."
Liu Ermei knew how to make Ji Changcheng feel bad: "Let your dad go back. I'll stay here to take care of you two siblings. I won't take care of the chickens and ducks anymore. Let him go back to the countryside to farm! I'll send your dad living expenses from now on."
"I refuse to believe I can't handle you! You think you can go back alone and still act like a king under your son's name!"
Ji Changcheng: "You....."
"good."
Ji Changcheng looked at his son in disbelief: "How could you treat me like this? I'm your father!"
"Alright, you've done something wrong, so you should at least make Mom feel better!"
Liu Ermei raised her chin; she had always been stupid.
Why worry about things when your own son and daughter are so successful?
Since this old man dislikes me, I won't serve him anymore.

Liu Ermei is now focusing all her attention on her children, and what she is most anxious about is their marriage.
Seeing how anxious she was, Ji Huaizhi asked her to work as a cleaner at the company. He told her to come and do work whenever she had nothing else to do, and if all else failed, she could go to senior disco.
He realized that people shouldn't be too idle.
To avoid constantly nagging him and Ji Xiang about getting married.
Believe it or not, Liu Ermei did a pretty good job as a cleaner at the company. After seeing this, Ji Huaizhi's assistant made Liu Ermei the cleaning supervisor.
He managed to get an official position.
Ji Huaizhi's fresh food delivery business gradually opened up the market, and he then devoted himself wholeheartedly to the business.
Ji Xiang was sent by him to further her studies.
Jiang Fulin and Zhang Er expanded their team, aiming to further grow their transportation business.
Little Monkey and Fang Youliang are managing an ever-growing number of employees under Ji Huaizhi's leadership.
Four Seasons has already gained a reputation in Chongqing, and its Lianhuachi wholesale market not only occupies half of the local market.
They have also expanded their business to several surrounding cities within the province, with an astonishing daily cargo throughput.
The fresh food delivery service has also performed well, earning a reputation for freshness and quality that has won the trust of consumers, with orders pouring in like snowflakes.
New opportunities and challenges may arise at any time.
Ji Huaizhi stood by the window, looking down at the bustling traffic and neon lights.
Next, he will adapt to market changes and strive to make Four Seasons the pinnacle of the industry.
