Chapter 27 The Laziest Man in the Countryside
"We're not coming anymore. We'll never come to your village again. Please!"
After everyone stopped, they looked at Ji Huaizhi and said, "You kid, you're trying to tempt us with five yuan. When your second sister-in-law gives birth, just treat us to a good meal."
Ji Huaizhi smiled and said, "I'm not trying to tempt you. I don't have the money, but they do."
Everyone was stunned: "Then aren't we robbing them?"
“That’s not true.” Ji Huaizhi kicked the captain of the Red Guards. “I didn’t provide any evidence when I reported it before. Those people who were sent to the countryside were just unlucky enough to be exposed.”
“Now, you people have to give each household in our village five yuan, compensate us for our medical expenses, and pay for all the damaged things! Otherwise, I will report the place where you hide your dirty things.”
"Then you'll probably be shot."
At this point, Ji Huaizhi squatted down and leaned closer: "After all, you have quite a few small yellow croakers where you live, right?"
His voice wasn't loud, but a few people nearby heard it.
They looked at Ji Huaizhi in horror: "How...how did you know?"
The Red Guard captain gritted his teeth: "I have no grudge against you, you?"
Ji Huaizhi: "You all came to my door to steal my wife, and you still say you have no grudge against me?"
"I didn't want to say this, but you guys are too vengeful. You're probably so excited to come here because you heard that Li Zhenzhu is now my wife, right?"
He was right. They had lost face in this village before and wanted to regain it.
Let him know the consequences of offending us.
Ji Huaizhi smiled and said, "Now that she's married to me, she's a member of the Ji family. I believe the higher-ups won't take a woman who's married out too seriously."
"But the gold and silver valuables in your possession are another matter."
"Big Brother." The henchman behind him suddenly became afraid.
They didn't know how this person knew, but they were genuinely panicked.
"How did you know that?" The captain thought it was impossible for him to know so much unless there was a traitor among them: "And if we can't find the stolen goods, you're just framing us."
Ji Huaizhi leaned close to his ear and told him about a place.
The man's face turned pale instantly.
No one knew what Ji Huaizhi said, they only knew that he was now capable and that everyone was afraid of him.
Didn't you see how pale they were?
"Are you willing to pay the money and reimburse the medical expenses?" Ji Huaizhi asked with a smile, but the others felt a chill run down their spines.
"good."
He sent two people to get the money, but the others stayed behind. Ji Hong was worried something might happen: "Won't you get into trouble doing this?"
"No, they're the ones who're worried about things going wrong. I haven't done anything wrong."
Ji Huaizhi said matter-of-factly, "After all, it was their own compensation."
Li Zhenzhu supported her parents, somewhat hesitant to face Wang Xiuju.
But now is not the time to talk about these things. Wang Xiuju felt awkward looking at them. They were keeping such a big thing a secret. If people hadn't come to their door, they wouldn't even know.
"You take them inside first, we can talk about it later."
Li Zhenzhu lowered her head and said, "Mm."
After they went inside, a villager came up and said, "Oh my, who would have thought that Li Zhiqing is Li the Cripple's daughter? This was kept a secret for too long."
"Yes, Wang Xiuju and the others definitely don't know what they look like, and I don't know if Ji Laoyao knows either."
"I think he knows. Didn't you see that his expression didn't change when those people were talking about it?" someone said, looking at the village secretary and his wife's faces. "No wonder Ji Laoyao is so good to Li the Cripple and the others."
"No wonder Li the Cripple taught Ji Laoyao medicine. He wouldn't accept any apprentices when I asked my grandson to learn from him."
"You old man are quite clever; you let your grandson study medicine."
"What can we do if Li the Cripple doesn't teach?"
Ji Huaizhi asked the villagers to watch over them, and they were happy to do so.
After all, two people had already gone to collect the money, which was a whopping five yuan.
"Huai Zhi is so generous; he doesn't forget to share his wealth with the people in our village."
Ji Huaizhi smiled and said, "Of course, I can't forget how you all helped us just now. You've protected my family."
"You're too kind. We have a great relationship with your dad."
“Exactly! How many years have we known each other? Would I let her be bullied?” Liu Sufeng said, hands on her hips.
Ji the Elder stepped forward and pulled Ji Huaizhi inside. He had some dark circles under his eyes: "Won't there be any problem with what you're doing?"
Ji Huaizhi shook his head: "No, they won't dare to do it again. Besides, everyone in the village took money. It's not just our family's business. I just married a wife. I don't know anything about class background."
Ji Laoda wanted to say that all the family's attention was focused on him.
"How did you find out about their weaknesses? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with them? Will you retaliate?"
“I followed them before, mainly just in case. They’re probably afraid I’ll retaliate against them now, so they’ll probably avoid me from now on.” Ji Huaizhi comforted him, “Don’t worry, brother, I’ll handle things.”
"You didn't even tell your family about something this big? Do you think we wouldn't agree?"
"I just think the fewer people who know, the safer it is, and ignorance is no excuse."
When Ji Laoda heard what he said, he didn't know what to say. He had said all the nice things.
“Mom and Dad are really angry,” he reminded his younger brother.
When Ji Huaizhi looked over, the back of his head was visible. Ji Laoda glanced at the back of his head and said, "Hmm, four whorls. Old people say that people with four whorls are smart."
Li Zhenzhu came out and said, "Brother, it's all my fault for dragging you into this. I'll talk to Mom and Dad later." She thought her brother was talking about her husband.
She thought that life would continue peacefully like this, but it seems that fate is always against her.
“We’re all family now, no need to talk about these things. What upsets everyone is that you kept such a big thing from us.” Boss Ji was telling the truth.
Nowadays, it's believed that daughters from maternal families don't interfere in their parents' family affairs.
She is now a member of the Ji family. Even if her family background is not good, the Ji family members are poor peasants.
Li Zhenzhu is safe just because of this identity.
“We’ll talk to our parents about it later,” Ji Huaizhi said.
It's still a bit chaotic outside. Ji Hong is talking to people outside, holding his broken pipe.
A moment later, He Xianglan suddenly ran out and shouted, "She's giving birth! She's about to give birth!"
Ji Lao Er rushed in and found his wife clutching her stomach, her lower body already soaked.
"Ji Xianchuan! The baby's coming out."
"How could it be so fast? Didn't they say there were still half a month left?" Ji Lao Er cried out in a panic, "Mom! Mom! Mom!"
"What are you yelling for? Go and call someone to boil water and call the midwife!" Ji Huaizhi flicked his forehead, trying to wake him up.
"Oh...oh...yes!"
Ji Huaizhi said to his second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, your pregnancy is going very well. Your father-in-law and I have both checked your pulse. Don't worry. We're all here, so don't panic."
Second Sister-in-law Ji: "I'm actually not flustered, it's just... just a little nervous."
