Chapter 7 Life Swap 7
Ji Gangqiang: "It can be like this?"
Ji Xiong stood up: "Otherwise what? You guys are still too green. You should have told me sooner."
“We’re not scared, are we?” Feng Li now thinks her father’s idea is a good one. They’ll see which child is successful in the future, and that child will be their son.
“Keep this to yourselves, and don’t tell anyone,” Ji Xiong warned them.
Ji Gangqiang nodded: "I understand, Dad. I promise I won't tell."
"You know that's fine. Tell your wife to shut up too, and stop her from going to her parents' house and complaining."
Ji Xiong then left.
Ji Gangqiang is no longer anxious and looks refreshed: "My dad is the best. If Yaoguang is capable in the future, he will be my own son."
“If Huaizhi does well, then he will come back to take care of his own father.”
Feng Li is now at ease and can focus on her postpartum recovery.
“You’re right. So, are you still going to work? I’ve seen that those who went out to work all come back with motorcycles.” Feng Li was actually quite interested in going.
“My younger brother works in a factory in Guangzhou. He says he earns several hundred yuan a month.”
Ji Gangqiang was not really keen on going.
It's too far away, and they've never traveled far before.
"Let's talk about finding a job later."
Feng Li stopped trying to persuade him, and the two of them now felt that there was no need to switch the baby back on the day of the full moon celebration.
When Ji Xiong returned, Tang Guihua was cooking pig feed, and chicken soup was simmering on a small stove next to him.
“When the chicken soup is ready, take a bowl to the eldest son’s family too. You can’t just give it to Gangzheng’s family.” Ji Xiong said to her, “Anyway, we’re all taking care of the new mothers, so we should take care of them together.”
Tang Guixiang didn't even look up, but her hands were a little too heavy as she worked: "These are chickens that Sun Qiaoniang brought over. I'm too embarrassed to take them to Feng Li, and don't they raise chickens too?"
"Doesn't Gangqiang know how to stew at home every day? He's always staring at this little bit on my stove."
"Besides, Ji Gangqiang's family has already had three children. I took care of him during his postpartum period the first two times. What's wrong with taking care of Qiao'er this time?"
"Greed knows no bounds!" Tang Guixiang glared at Ji Xiong.
Ji Xiong didn't understand: "Why are we, a family, so petty about everything?"
Tang Guixiang threw down what she was holding and looked at the old man: "What do you mean by being petty? You're the one being petty, aren't you?"
"All you ever think about is your eldest son, honestly... Get out of my way! Don't get in my way."
"Look at you, why are you so easily angered?" Ji Xiong said with his hands behind his back, not offering to help when he saw her cooking pig feed. "Gangqiang lost his mother when he was young. Unlike Gangzheng, he doesn't have you as his mother."
"What does it matter to me if he loses his mother? I didn't kill his mother!" Tang Guixiang sneered.
"If he's jealous that Gangzheng has me as his mother, then let him go dig up graves!"
Ji Xiong: "You're getting more and more outrageous with your words."
"You're all ungrateful wretches! I've been good enough to the eldest son's family, and you still don't think it's enough?" Tang Guixiang told him to get lost.
I get annoyed whenever I see him.
Ji Xiong: "Have you eaten a firecracker? You get so angry over a single wrong word? Your temper isn't even half as bad as the one before me."
Ji Xiong's words completely ignited Tang Guixiang's anger.
Tang Guixiang picked up a broom from the corner and hit him with it: "You old bastard! If your ex is so nice, why don't you go sleep in the graveyard with her? Why are you sleeping with me?"
"Get the hell out of here!"
Tang Guixiang flew into a rage and threatened to kick him out: "Am I not a good enough stepmother? You two are going to work me to death!"
"All you ever think about is sucking my blood! Get lost!"
The two were arguing quite loudly.
People around who heard the commotion came out to see what was happening. Sun Qiao, who was inside the house, also heard it and called out to Gangzheng, who was taking care of the child: "Gangzheng! Go see Mom. It seems like she and Dad are arguing."
"I guess it's related to postpartum care."
Ji Gang was putting the child next to her and hurriedly leaving.
Just then, Ji Gangqiang also came out.
Both of them walked outside.
Ji Huaizhi was held in someone's arms, looking out the window. He was so bored; he wanted to go and see what was going on.
Ji Xiong was chased and scolded by Tang Guixiang, while others watched the spectacle.
Ji Gangzheng and Ji Gangqiang came over to stop them: "Mom and Dad, why are you arguing?"
Tang Guixiang complained, "You ingrates are all ingrates! Ji Xiong, if you think the one in front of you is so good, then go and keep her company in the cemetery!"
“Gangzheng, your mother has gone mad! She’s always so angry! I only said a few words and she dared to hit a man?” Ji Xiong felt he had lost face in front of his neighbors and children.
I'm really angry.
"Mom! Can't we talk things out properly? You can't just hit my dad in public! Don't men have any pride?" Ji Gangqiang felt she was wrong.
"Get out of here too! No wonder everyone says being a stepmother is hard!" Tang Guixiang felt annoyed whenever she saw Ji Gangqiang.
"You... no wonder my dad says my own mother is better than you!"
Ji Gangqiang looks like Ji Xiong, and his words are equally annoying.
"Your biological mother is better than me?" Tang Guixiang was even angrier: "Go find your biological mother! Do you think I'd like to be your stepmother?"
Ji Gang's face darkened: "You guys have gone too far! You think your own mother is better, but don't come to my mom with your problems!"
"Dad, you've gone too far. Aren't you just hitting Mom in the heart with those words?" Ji Gangzheng was definitely on his mother's side.
"I'm stating the facts!" Ji Xiong stretched his neck, not feeling he had done anything wrong.
"My dad didn't say anything wrong, so why make a fool of himself like this?"
Tang Guixiang felt disheartened; despite her tireless efforts, she had never received a kind word from them.
Ji Gang sneered, "You guys are really something, each of you saying one thing as if my mother has wronged you so much."
"Gangzheng, don't say anything more." Tang Guixiang wiped away her tears: "I finally understand those two, father and son. No matter how much I do, as long as I treat my own child well, they will feel uncomfortable."
Ji Gangqiang: "You're just being biased. You think I'm not your biological son."
"Is it wrong for me to favor my own child?" Tang Guixiang was tired of hearing these words.
"Since you all think that dead man is good, I don't want to be your maid anymore." Tang Guixiang was furious.
People nearby also came over to comfort them.
"Garlic bird, garlic bird, it's not a big deal, why are you arguing about it?"
"That's right, Ji Xiong, your wife is great. She treats Gang Qiang very well. What other stepmother can do what she does?"
"That's right, if you say that, Guixiang will definitely be sad. Your ex has been gone for so long, why are you still talking about her? Guixiang has raised your child all these years."
"Guixiang, don't be angry. Men just say whatever comes to mind."
Tang Guixiang felt even more aggrieved after everyone's words of advice.
