Chapter 16: Old Lady Ji and Her Family Live in the Cowshed



"He dares!" Xie Sufen said sternly, glancing at Ji Jianguo who was in a daze. "If he feels bad, he can go with them. I'll go with you!"

Ji Jianguo smiled awkwardly, "How could that be? From now on, you two will be my family."

As he spoke, Ji Jianguo still felt a little lost.

Ji Xia hurriedly hugged her father's arm and said, "Dad, Mom and I are the ones who truly care about you. You only need the two of us."

"Yes, having you two is enough for me!" Ji Jianguo felt relieved again. In an instant, the heavy burden he had been carrying was gone, and he felt a sense of relief.

In the past, she had a whole family to support, and none of the money she earned went into her own pocket. It all went to pamper her youngest son. When she has money in the future, she will buy something nice for her daughter.

Ji Jianguo felt that nothing is absolute, and there is nothing wrong with the current situation, so why force it.

Xie Sufen was cooking in the kitchen, and Ji Jianguo was sitting at the stove door putting firewood in front of her. The couple worked and talked at the same time, feeling unsure about what to do. After all, they had known Mrs. Ji's temper too well over the years and were afraid that she would cause trouble again.

Ji Xia saw that it was still early for dinner, so he took advantage of the night and sneaked over to the cowshed like a wild cat, and could smell the stench from afar.

The smoke made her head hurt, so she took out an N95 mask from the space and put it on.

Old Mrs. Ji and her family occupied two cow sheds. She swept the cow sheds while cursing Ji Xia.

Old Lady Ji cursed, "Sooner or later, I'll have to teach that little bastard a lesson. Wait until your father comes back and tell him to find some connections in the county. I don't believe I can't cure her."

When Mr. Ji was a child, he learned medical skills for a few days. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a shortage of talents in all walks of life, especially in special industries such as the medical system. He was recruited into the Schistosomiasis Control Station to specialize in schistosomiasis prevention and control.

He only comes back for three or four days a month, and when he comes back he acts like the master, not taking care of any household affairs.

Ji Hongmei was sleeping with Old Lady Ji. She handed a small red cloth package to Old Lady Ji and said, "Mom, this is what I brought from over there. I'll give it to you. This house has been taken over by that evil Ji Xia. We have to make a living in the future, so I'll build you a house."

Old Lady Ji took it in her hand and flipped it open to take a look. There were quite a few banknotes, various grain and oil coupons, cloth coupons, and even rare industrial coupons. She smiled and said, "I am still the one who raised it myself."

After saying that, he packed up all the things, took a key from his pocket, opened a wooden box in the corner, and put all the small packages in it.

"I have saved a lot of money. It won't take that much to build a house in the future. I will save the extra money for you. I will find a good man nearby for you and use it as a dowry for you in the future." said Old Mrs. Ji.

"Mom, this is great! I don't want to marry far away. It's inconvenient to go back to my parents' home."

The mother and daughter shook out some dry straw, made the bed, and prepared to go to sleep.

Ji Xia thought about it, and the box disappeared from Old Lady Ji's sight.

She thought her eyes were blurry, so she crawled over to look, but there was no box in the corner. It contained all her belongings!

Ji Hongmei's eyes went dark as she saw the disappearance. She screamed in fear, "There's a ghost! Someone, come! There's a ghost!"

Ji Tonghua and his wife hurried over. When they heard that the box containing Old Mrs. Ji's money had disappeared before their eyes, they were so scared that their hair stood on end.

Ji Tonghua and his wife were not asleep just now, but no one came over, and the box was placed against the wall, and the wall was still intact.

This is so weird.

It was pitch black outside. Ji Xia found a secluded place, took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight and looked at what was in the box.

There were a few tattered clothes and the old clothes that Old Lady Ji had saved for herself a long time ago. The only valuable things were the banknotes and bills. The money saved by Old Lady Ji amounted to more than a thousand yuan, 50 kilograms of grain coupons, 20 kilograms of oil coupons, 30 feet of cloth coupons, two industrial coupons, and the rest of the bills were not listed one by one.

There are many laborers in the family, and there is also Mr. Ji, the main earner who only spends money and never earns any money. It is not surprising that Mrs. Ji saves these things.

Ji Hongmei gave quite a lot, including a gold ring, a gold bracelet, and a pair of jade bracelets, all of which were good stuff. People from capitalist families are really different. I don't know how she brought all these things out.

It was mainly about money. She gave Old Lady Ji nearly a thousand yuan, but she also gave her more bills, including more than fifty kilograms of oil bills, more than one hundred kilograms of grain bills, soap bills, furniture bills...all kinds of strange bills.

Ji Xia felt that this should not be all of Ji Hongmei's belongings, and believed that Old Mrs. Ji would also think so.

Fishing requires patience, and Ji Xia is not in a hurry. She is quite satisfied with the friendly sponsorship from the Ji family.

After throwing the box into the space, Ji Xia took out a few big steamed buns and a box of braised beef, and returned home happily.
