Arriving at the courtyard, Ji Shuhua and his son knew that Ji's family's life was not at all hardship. Although housing prices are still cheap nowadays, not everyone can afford to live in such a large courtyard.
Yuan Jing and Jiang Qingshan chatted with them for a while, and then were driven away by Ji's father. This day was their wedding night, so why should they accompany their elders?
Second Uncle Ji couldn't help but feel curious about the identities of the young couple, so Father Ji proudly told them about Yuan Jing and his wife. Not to mention Ji Shuhua, even Ji Mingyu's eyes widened when he heard it.
When Ji Yuanjing went to the countryside to work as a farmer, he began to learn medicine from an old Chinese doctor. He was admitted to the best medical university when the college entrance examination was resumed. Now he studies both Chinese and Western medicine, and has been tempered in a field hospital. After returning, he developed several Chinese patent medicines with his master, and now he has established several Chinese herbal medicine planting bases. It can be said that there was no help from his old father in all this. Yuanjing achieved all this by his own hard work.
After hearing this, Ji Shuhua felt a little disgusted with his son. Someone like Ji Yuanjing would have been successful in any era. His son would take over his family business, while someone like Ji Yuanjing would be able to build a solid family business on his own.
There are also several great medical experts attending the banquet today. I was not very clear about it at the time, but now I am amazed by what Mr. Ji said.
As for Jiang Qingshan's identity, it goes without saying that he is a soldier and a regiment commander, with merits accumulated on the battlefield.
All this made Ji Shuhua no longer dare to underestimate his eldest brother. Originally, he returned to China with his own little plan. The family property given to his eldest brother by his father had accumulated a considerable fortune after years of management. The other families were all eyeing it, and Ji Shuhua was also reluctant to split up this part of the industry. He thought that the country was still relatively backward, and he could send his eldest brother's family away in China without much money and still get his eldest brother's gratitude.
Now he knows that he was wrong. If he continues to develop in the country, he will have to rely on the help of his eldest brother's family. He still needs to think carefully about how to deal with the family property.
Let’s not talk about what Ji Shuhua and his son were planning. On the other side, after Jiang Qingshan and Yuan Jing had waited for Niu Guilan to rest, they encountered a tense and exciting moment. Jiang Qingshan even walked with his hands and feet together, which made Yuan Jing, who was a little nervous at first, laugh all of a sudden.
My aunt was at Ji's house, so there were only two of them left here. Seeing Yuan Jing laughing so hard, Jiang Qingshan suddenly became bolder. He hugged Yuan Jing and bit his mouth, pressing him against the door.
Although the two had already started a relationship, they were still very careful about their daily interactions. At most they would hold hands when no one was paying attention. Their love was extremely innocent.
Now, in Jiang Qingshan's view, the two of them have made a clear decision. They can justifiably close the door and be intimate as they please. But after the kiss, Jiang Qingshan froze again. Yuan Jing saw his helpless look, and his heart almost melted with heat. He took the initiative to hug Jiang Qingshan's head and opened his mouth to let his tongue entwine with theirs.
It was like a spark falling into a powder keg, igniting Jiang Qingshan. Without any more scruples, the two of them hugged each other and stumbled into the room.
The night was long.
The two newbies tossed and turned for most of the night, but their biological clocks still made them wake up early. It was the first time they woke up holding their loved ones, and the first time they could see their loved ones as soon as they woke up. Jiang Qingshan showed his usual silly smile of the past few days.
When he saw the mark he left on Yuan Jing's body, his breathing tightened and he became restless again. But this was not okay. He knew that this would tire Yuan Jing out, so he quickly got up and went to make breakfast for Yuan Jing and his mother. He also had to go and see Ji's father.
As soon as he got out of bed, Yuan Jing woke up. Jiang Qingshan leaned over and kissed Yuan Jing on the cheek: "You continue to sleep for a while, I'll go make breakfast and bring it to you when it's ready."
Yuan Jing was fully awake and laughed: "You think I'm made of glass? Okay, go make breakfast and don't worry about me."
"real?"
"More real than pearls, go away." Yuan Jing slapped him.
Jiang Qingshan believed it and walked out of the room, but unexpectedly Yuan Jing slapped him too hard and almost exposed his true condition. After Jiang Qingshan left, he quickly found the medicine he specially prepared on the bedside table and applied it to himself with difficulty. He gritted his teeth and wondered when he should ask Jiang Qingshan to taste the same feeling. However... he was also very happy last night.
Patting his face which was about to burn, Yuan Jing hurried out to wash up.
The newlywed life is so blissful that one does not want to leave. Not to mention Yuan Jing, even Jiang Qingshan feels like he is floating just by walking. He deeply believes that the previous thirty years have been lived in vain. Life with a wife is so wonderful.
Although he often saw Uncle Ji and his son, Yuan Jing only thought that they were here to look for their relatives and had no energy to pay attention to anything else.
Jiang Qingshan's vacation lasted only one month, and as it was almost halfway through, he had to leave Yuan Jing and go to pick up the adopted child. Only then did Yuan Jing find time to care about Uncle Ji and his son.
Ji Mingyu was a young man, very energetic, so he took a map and went around with his father without the need for a special guide.
"Dad, are my second uncle and the others just coming back to look for their relatives?" Yuan Jing asked directly.
Father Ji sighed, "If you didn't come to ask me, I would have come to you to talk about it. Your second uncle wants to invest in you to open a pharmaceutical factory and produce the drugs you developed yourself. I think I have to ask you about this. Dad has never been involved in your affairs in this regard."
Yuan Jing said without thinking: "Dad, please help me push it. It's not that I can't open a pharmaceutical factory myself, but there is no need now and the opportunity has not come. Besides, with Qingshan and I's current status, it's not good to let foreign capital join in. Even if it's my second uncle, it's still an overseas investment."
Father Ji agreed. Jiang Qingshan is a soldier, and the requirements in this regard are particularly strict. Moreover, the matter between Qingshan and his son was not hidden from Qingshan's superiors. Presumably, the superiors have treated their son as Qingshan's partner, so he has to pay attention to the rules.
"Yuan Jing, you are right. Dad will give it to you then. Our family is not short of this little money now. There is no need to envy your uncle's life in the United States." Ji's father is very open-minded. No matter how much money you have, you cannot bring it with you when you are born or take it with you when you die. His son started from scratch and has everything he has now.
This result was obviously beyond the expectations of Ji Shuhua and his son. They didn't want the investment that was delivered to their doorstep. Ji's father told his second brother the reasons Yuan Jing had given, and Ji Shuhua knew that it was really no use.
Ji Shuhua sighed. For the sake of money, several branches of the Ji family in the United States were fighting over it like chicken eyes, but they didn't want the money that was delivered to their doorstep.
He said, "Brother, you don't know that before Dad passed away, he was always thinking about you and Mom, so when he passed away, he left a will that a part of the Ji family's assets belonged to your branch."
Although Jiang Qingshan is very outstanding, he still feels that Father Ji should not agree to their relationship, because if so, the bloodline of his eldest brother's branch will be cut off, and who will inherit the family property left behind?
What is the purpose of working hard all your life? Isn't it to leave a family business for your children and grandchildren?
Father Ji was stunned for a while when he heard this. Before his father died, he actually missed him and his mother? He thought that he would not, because he, the eldest son, was not valued by his father. He thought that he was too bookish and not suitable for business. Moreover, he married more than one concubine. How could his mother still be in his heart?
These days, he also heard his second brother talk about the situation of his half-brothers and sisters. Father Ji heard something, that everyone was not united. Knowing what his son meant, Father Ji was even more unwilling to get involved in the fight for the Ji family's property.
If you want this industry, you must go to the United States.
"Second brother, I have stayed with mother for decades, and you have always been the one who has been filial to father. You have also been busy running the business. It is only right that I leave everything to you. You don't have to give it to me. Look at me now. It doesn't make any difference whether I have those things or not. Do you need me to handle any procedures? Just let me know if you need anything."
Ji Mingyu was sitting nearby. When he heard that his father had given up a large sum of property, his jaw almost dropped. He held his chin and said, "Uncle, do you know how much that property is in US dollars?"
Father Ji smiled and said, "No matter how much money you have, it's just a number. With the current situation in the country, even if you have money, you have nowhere to spend it. I'm old, and Yuan Jing can earn money on his own. He's not a child who spends money lavishly, so let's just leave it at that."
Ji Mingyu was speechless, because he could see that Uncle Ji really didn't care how big the number was.
Second Uncle Ji was so ashamed that he wanted to swallow up the property before coming here, but his eldest brother and his son looked down on him.
Father Ji continued, "If you feel bad about this, why don't you come back to invest in China? The country needs you more than we do."
"Don't you feel resentful about what you experienced over the years?" Uncle Ji asked in surprise. He knew that his eldest brother had suffered a lot in the past few years and it was not easy for him to survive. Even so, his eldest brother still cared about this country in his heart. He could not understand such feelings.
Father Ji said calmly, "It's all fate, just like when you went to the United States and were separated from me and my mother, who should you blame? This is my country, and I hope our country can take off as soon as possible. Second brother, if you come to invest now, the returns you will receive in the future will be very generous, and our country will get better and better."
Uncle Ji and Ji Mingyu were deeply shocked.
After repeated consideration, Uncle Ji went out for an investigation, and discussed with the eldest son of the United States several times. Finally, he decided to follow the advice of Ji's father, but make a small investment first to test the waters.
Afterwards, he left his younger son in China to take charge of these investments, while he traveled back and forth between China and the United States, making more trips while he could to help his eldest son get started as soon as possible. When he could no longer travel, he would return to China to spend his retirement with his eldest brother. Life in the Siheyuan courtyard was pretty good.
Most importantly, through these days he realized how great his nephew's medical skills were. Didn't he see how well his elder brother's health was taken care of by his nephew? When people get old, they are always afraid of getting sick, and they are also afraid that they will not get the best treatment if they get sick.
The Ji family's investment in the United States has been highly valued by the country, and many green lights have been given along the way, hoping to attract more funds and technology to accelerate the country's construction. Therefore, Ji Mingyu was also promoted as a patriotic businessman who returned to China by the national television station as a representative, and the connection between Ji Mingyu and his father and the country was also introduced in the report.
Unfortunately, Shen Huijuan and Zheng Hua happened to see this news. There was a scene where Ji Mingyu cut the ribbon for the newly established factory. Ji Yuanjing and Ji's father Ji Changlin were also on the invitation list. Although the two of them flashed by in the picture, how could Shen Huijuan not recognize them? She was stunned on the spot.
Zheng Hua's reaction was slower than his mother's. After all, he had never met Ji Changlin, and his impression of Ji Yuanjing was only before he went to the countryside. However, the surname "Ji" was very special to their family. Seeing his mother's absent-minded attitude, he immediately realized something and asked with a gloomy face on the spot:
"Mom, is it them? Is it my brother Ji Yuanjing and his family? Their overseas relatives have returned to China to invest?" His voice became louder and louder.
Although it was just a black and white TV with a small screen, he could feel the high spirits and enthusiasm of the people inside through the screen. As he watched, Zheng Hua felt indignant, and for some reason he felt that such glory should belong to him, as it was so close to him.
The remorse in Shen Huijuan's heart once again gnawed at her. If she hadn't been possessed by the devil, if she hadn't let Ji Yuanjing and his son down first... She lowered her head to wipe away her tears and said, "It was them. Your brother was on TV, too."
It was indeed their family. Zheng Hua thought about his current plight. The more he saw others enjoying glory, the angrier he became. He suddenly stood up and kicked over the table in front of him. Shen Huijuan was startled and quickly stepped back and asked carefully, "Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?"
Zheng Hua was furious: "You still ask me what's wrong? Look at how your other son is doing now, and then look at me now, what's the difference between me and mud? Are you satisfied? If it weren't for you, would I end up like this?"
"I could be the son of the Ji family, why do I have to have the surname Zheng? If you hadn't shamelessly cheated on me, would I be in such a miserable state? It's all your fault!"
Shen Huijuan had known for a long time that her son was dissatisfied with her, but for the first time, her past was exposed so bluntly by her son. Shen Huijuan still couldn't accept it and her body trembled as if struck by lightning.
The report was still being broadcast on TV. Zheng Hua couldn't tolerate such an extreme contrast, so he picked up a stool and moved towards the 14-inch black and white TV.
“Wow——”
"Woo--" Shen Huijuan didn't dare to stop him at all. She could only watch her son destroy the house into ruins like a madman, and then rushed out. Her little daughter also ran away and didn't know where she ran to. She didn't like to come home. Compared with her ex-husband's glamour, Shen Huijuan finally burst into tears.
The next day, I got up to make breakfast, but there was no movement in my son's room until noon. I pushed open the door and saw a note on the table:
"I'm leaving, going to the south. Don't look for me. You're the one who ruined me!"
Shen Huijuan grabbed the note and rushed out of the house: "Xiaohua - come back, it's mom who is sorry for you..."
