Chapter 4 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd 4
"You were in the wrong," the grandfather criticized them.
The couple also felt ashamed.
"Uncle, stop talking." Ji Dong, embarrassed, rubbed his face and then said to Grandpa Ji, "Dad, we'll take care of the child ourselves."
Tang Juan: "Since we've come this far, we'll take care of it ourselves."
"Thank you, Dad and Mom, for all the hard work you've done over the years."
My aunt rolled her eyes: "The person is dead, what's the point of talking about hardship?"
Grandpa coughed once: "Alright, Ji Yun."
"Grandpa is coming to the city with us," Ji Huaizhi's childish voice rang out in the room.
Everyone looked at him.
Tang Juan's expression changed.
Ji Huaizhi is her son, so bringing him along is fine, but she wouldn't even dare to think about bringing the old man along.
Grandpa Ji sighed when he saw the looks in his son and daughter-in-law's eyes.
"Grandpa is in our hometown. You can come back to see him when you have a holiday."
"You should study hard outside."
"Didn't you want to go to the city the most?"
Ji Huaizhi stood next to his grandfather and said stubbornly, "Grandpa wants to go to the city with us."
"Grandma is gone, I don't want Grandpa to be alone."
Ji Dong said awkwardly, "Your aunt is still in her hometown."
Aunt Ji Yun sneered, "What? Is your son dead?"
"Big sister, you've gone too far." Ji Dong's expression also turned sour.
“I’m telling the truth. I have absolutely no desire to be nice to you right now. Look at the two of you now, your morals are worse than a child’s.”
Ji Dong tilted his head: "What can I do? It's not that I don't want to take Dad to the city, but you don't know how high the cost of living is in the city now."
At this point, Ji Dong lowered his head, looking utterly helpless.
"I'm a father too."
Tang Juan remained silent at this point.
She couldn't speak either, after all, she was a daughter-in-law, and some things had to be said by Ji Dong, her own son.
Grandpa Ji didn't want to put his son in a difficult position: "Never mind, I'm fine wherever I am."
"After the harvest season is over, I will go to the city to see my children."
He tried to justify himself, saying that his brothers and relatives were all around, and that he was quite old, so he felt embarrassed and helpless.
“Yes, it’s not easy for us living in another city either. Bringing Huaizhi over will keep us busy. The two brothers will need to rent a bigger house when they grow up.”
No one said anything more.
There are young people working in the family.
I do understand a little bit.
Ji Huaizhi, still wearing the white headscarf, asked with a bewildered expression, "Why do we need to rent a place? My brother said you've already moved to a new house in a really beautiful neighborhood."
“We already have a new house, so we don’t need to rent anymore.”
Ji Xianli dragged a duck in and, upon hearing his brother's words, shouted, "That's my new house, not yours!"
"I don't want my brother to live in my new house!"
Ji Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he avoided looking at his father's expression.
The room suddenly fell silent.
"Ha! I knew it." Ji Yun was genuinely amused and exasperated. "You've already bought a house?"
"You're still hiding this from us? Are you afraid we'll come and take the house from you?"
"Are you still afraid we'll take advantage of you?"
Ji Yun's words were like a slap in their faces.
The couple blushed deeply: "No, we just..."
“I don’t want to know what you mean. As the older sister, I’m not that shameless. Your buying a house is none of my business. There’s no need to pretend like that just now that you need to rent a place.”
After Ji Yun finished speaking, he looked at Ji Xianli, who was wearing branded clothes and had fair skin, looking like a child on TV.
Then look at Ji Huaizhi, who shares the same parents. His face is flushed from the high altitude, and the clothes he's wearing are hand-me-downs from others.
Seeing such a huge gap, an inexplicable anger welled up inside her:
“Your eldest brother is the eldest grandson of the Ji family, so you have to be ranked after him.”
"Your parents bought the house, and your brother has a share in it. Why can't you let him move in?"
"Don't take what the child says to heart," Tang Juan said expressionlessly.
This sister-in-law is such a busybody.
"Big sister, I didn't mean anything by it. I haven't had a chance to talk about the house yet," Ji Dong explained, but he also knew that once he left...
The villagers are going to start talking about him again.
"Bad auntie, bad auntie!" the child screamed from the side.
Tang Juan pulled him aside and told him to be quiet.
Ji Yun waved her hand: "I don't care whether you have money or not, whether you own a house or not."
"What do we say now? My nephew wants Dad to come along."
This is the most important thing.
To be honest, it would be great if they took the old man with them.
It does her no harm, only benefit.
Ji Dong was at a loss for words.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Juan had no choice but to speak herself:
“It wouldn’t be convenient for Dad to go there, would it? He wouldn’t be able to find anyone he knows there, and there are still chickens, ducks and crops at home.”
“That’s right, I’ll just send Huaizhi back when the holidays come later,” Ji Dong chimed in.
"No," Ji Huaizhi said loudly, "Grandpa wants to go too."
"Grandma is gone, and Grandpa is all alone now. Grandpa helped you take care of the children, and now you're abandoning him?"
Ji Huaizhi's words were like tearing off their fig leaf.
Tang Juan took a deep breath, glared at Ji Dong, and said nothing.
Aunt Ji Yun was still snorting coldly.
Ji Dong looked at his father: "Dad, what are your thoughts?"
Grandpa Ji wanted to persuade his grandson to let it go, so he stayed at home.
Unexpectedly, his grandson grabbed his hand and said, "Grandpa, we have to go together. You won't be lonely."
"And if we go to the city, it will be easier for you to see a doctor when your leg hurts."
The great-grandfather smiled and said, "This child is so filial; he's known how to care for his grandparents since he was little."
Ji Dong saw his father's white hair and aged face.
I just can't bring myself to say no.
"Let's go together then. I was thinking of leaving tomorrow, but let's postpone it for another day, get the house ready, and then leave together."
Ji Huaizhi smiled and said, "Grandpa, we can live together from now on."
Seeing this, everyone laughed and got up.
When her older brother agreed, her aunt didn't want to stay there anymore, and said she would come over tomorrow to help pack her things.
After everyone left, only Tang Juan looked rather unhappy.
Ji Dong awkwardly wiped his sweat.
Ji Xianli pouted: "I don't want them to go to my new house, they're dirty."
Ji Dong pretended to have a dark expression: "What are you saying? You're my brother and your grandfather."
He turned around and gave an awkward laugh: "Dad, the child is just being silly, I'll talk to him."
Actually, Grandpa Ji didn't want to go to the city; he knew he wouldn't be able to get used to it.
But seeing their attitude towards Ji Huaizhi, he no longer refused.
He figured since they were on the topic, he might as well go and take a look.
I can come back then.
“They’re clearly brothers; Huaizhi would be hurt if he heard you say that,” he reminded him.
Ji Dong: "Huai Zhi is sensible and won't get angry."
"Right, Huaizhi? You're the older brother, don't hold it against your younger brother."
Ji Huaizhi remained silent.
Tang Juan kept her head down and remained silent.
"Sigh~"
As Old Master Ji went out, Ji Huaizhi followed. When they reached the door, he turned back and said:
"I don't want to be this older brother at all."
The two were stunned when they heard this.
