In the evening, Ji Keji returned from the academy.
As soon as I stepped into the back street of the academy, a figure jumped out.
Ji Keji originally thought it was his junior sister, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
But after a moment, his smile froze: "Ah Weng?"
Why is this old rascal here?
Could it be that Junior Sister guessed it right?
A few days ago, my junior sister said something like "the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."
Ji Keji is smart, and more importantly, he knows the people in the old house well enough.
He knew very well that Junior Sister was hinting at their relationship with the old house.
As their lives at home get better and better, the people in the old house will definitely not be too content.
They are a group of scoundrels who harm others without benefiting themselves.
When they see people who were once not as good as themselves living better than themselves, they will only feel jealous and try to do bad things to them.
And there's Old Man Ji, a greedy and selfish old bastard.
Well, he couldn't curse his own grandfather like that; it was against filial piety.
However, the saints also said, "A kind father will have a filial son."
It is shameless for the elders to be unkind but force their children and grandchildren to be filial.
Unfortunately, my grandfather is a notorious old scoundrel, and no one can reason with him.
Ji Keji cursed in his heart, and a cold look appeared on his face.
Old Man Ji seemed not to notice. He looked around and made sure that no one was around. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Shilang, I'm going to your house tomorrow to ask for your pension."
"I have no choice. Even though your family has been separated, your father is my son and you are my grandson. You must be filial to me!"
"Alas, my five sons, if I indulge your family, your uncle and his family will not be happy!"
Old Man Ji didn't say that he was forced to come by his sons.
But he informed the public in advance and had a look of distress and embarrassment, which all showed: I am not here to cause trouble on purpose, I really have other sons.
As an elder, you must treat everyone equally.
Ji Keji: ...Haha, you still have the nerve to say "keeping things balanced".
You have never kept the bowl of water level.
However, as smart as Ji Keji was, he heard not only a reminder and helplessness from his rogue grandfather, but also a subtle "threat".
Even after the family is divided, children and grandchildren are still children and grandchildren, and we must fulfill our filial duties.
Ji Keji is no longer an apprentice in a printing shop. He has studied and will take part in the imperial examinations in the future, so his reputation cannot have any blemishes!

The best things in his grandfather's old house were not something he could give up just because he wanted to.
Alas, why can’t my relatives be as kind as Zhao Jia Dalang’s relatives?
Look at other people’s uncles and aunts, they send firewood, vegetables, etc. to Zhao Dalang every two or three days.
It would have been fine if he had just done the rough work himself, but he also sent his son and daughter to take care of the orphans and widows.
It can be said that the Zhao family is a model of the county's "Five Good Families".
Brothers love each other, sisters-in-law are close to each other, elders are loving, children are filial, and virtuous women are caring... If a few years pass, perhaps the county magistrate will write an inscription for the Zhao family.
Looking back at myself, my grandfather is an old scoundrel, my uncles are all jackals, and my cousins are even worse!
The only consolation is that the parents are no longer foolish and have begun to understand how to love their children.
And Mr. Zheng and his junior sister are the light in his life!
"...Xiao Shilang, you better prepare in advance and be sure to deal with it well! I'm leaving. If I don't leave now, someone will see me!"
"Xiao Shilang, you are a good person. Aung is also happy to see that you can make a name for yourself!"
Old Man Ji seemed not to feel Ji Keji's rejection. He talked a lot and then left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
As soon as Old Man Ji left, Zheng Wanjun came up to him.
She almost passed by Old Man Ji.
"Brother Keji, is that your grandfather?"
Zheng Wanjun has become very familiar with Ji Keji, and his address to him has changed from "Xiao Silang" to "Brother Keji".
Ji Keji is Mr. Zheng's direct disciple, and Zheng Wanjun is his junior sister.
Calling Ji Keji "brother" is reasonable and not out of the ordinary.
If Lady Wan heard this, she wouldn't be too harsh.
"Yeah!" Ji Keji responded, not too willing to mention this rogue grandfather.
"What is he doing here? Does he want money from you?"
The best kind of people are those who, when they see others doing well, will rush over and suck their blood, completely disregarding any past grudges!
A hint of disgust flashed in Zheng Wanjun's eyes.
Ji Keji pursed his lips.
"no!"
He seemed to want to prove something, and he did not hide anything from Zheng Wanjun, telling him everything that Old Man Ji had said.
"Huh? Your uncle has changed his nature? He actually leaked the information secretly?"
Ji Keji: ...I am puzzled too.
Zheng Wanjun thought seriously, then sneered, "So that's how it is!"
Ji Keji looked up at Zheng Wanjun.
Zheng Wanjun said disdainfully, "Brother Keji, you, the old man, are really smart."
"Bet on both sides, so as not to offend each other."
"He clearly wants to blackmail your third room, but he has to act helpless."
"He, this is planned in advance."
"If you become successful, he will come over to you in the future and say, 'I love you, too, otherwise I wouldn't have tipped you off.'"
Old Man Ji is the elder, so he humbled himself and apologized to the younger generation.
Moreover, he did indeed "leak information", and as a junior, we should be generous and forgive him.
