Ji Hongmei shook her head, as if deeply distressed by Ji Fang's thoughts. "You're still young and haven't experienced much, yet you think committing yourself to a scoundrel is a huge undertaking. What does this little setback mean to you?"
She gently stroked Ji Fang's hair and said softly, "Ten or twenty years from now, when you look back on what you experienced today, you will feel that it was nothing. You just ended up with the wrong person. It's not like the old society where divorce is prohibited. What are you afraid of?"
Ji Fang was moved by what she said, "Sister, what were you thinking when you got divorced?"
Ji Hongmei narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, "I haven't given it much thought. That man will definitely regret divorcing me in the future. Even though I'm down and out now, I still have a long way to go in life. One day, I'll stand in front of him again and see if he regrets his decision!"
Ji Hongmei's tone was full of viciousness, which made Ji Fang a little scared, but also very impressed.
Ji Hongmei said all she needed to say and all the persuasion she needed to give Ji Fang. She gave Ji Fang a push and said, "Okay, go do your work. Don't come here unless you have something to do. This is a bullpen. It's not good for you!"
Until now, Ji Hongmei has not cleared her identity. Even though she is the daughter of Liu Jingui and Ji Zhengcheng, she has lived in a capitalist's home since she was born. It is not the case that she enjoys the capitalist's blessings and does not atone for the capitalist's sins.
When Ji Fang walked out of the cowshed, she was full of fighting spirit.
Right now, what she has to consider is how to report Ji Xia and who is the most appropriate person to report to. If it were in the past, she could still find Qi Zhijun, but now that Qi Zhijun is dead, she feels that she has no relatives.
When Ji Fang went back to Team 5 from the back mountain, she met Ji Can who had hurried back. She had just had a day off and heard her coworkers talking about her mother's scandal. She felt like the sky was falling.
She originally planned to go find Yan Fanggang. She waited for a long time near Yan Fanggang's house and was scolded by Yan Fanggang's mother. She had to come back to see what was going on.
When Ji Can saw Ji Fang, he was furious. "Aunt, I heard that you hired someone to block my mother. Why did you make such a big fuss? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
Ji Fang looked at the face that didn't look like Ji Tongping at all, but rather a face that looked very much like Liu E, and felt nauseous. "Ji Can, why did I lead people to block it? Who told you that? It was the Liu Cao family that kept staring at your mother. Okay, I feel ashamed too, how could I not feel ashamed? Your mother is back, and she still owes the brigade more than eight yuan. Hurry up and take the money to help your mother pay off her debt."
After saying that, Ji Fang left. Ji Can looked at her back, furious. She felt that Ji Fang did it on purpose, deliberately embarrassing the whole family.
Back at the cowshed, Liu E was arguing with Ji Tongping. Liu E asked Ji Tongping to borrow money to buy food, but Ji Tongping lay motionless on the kang.
No matter how Liu E kicked him, he didn't move.
Ji Hongmei still felt sorry for her younger brother Ji Tongping. Even though she herself was not full, she would still give him a sweet potato for three meals a day, so that Ji Tongping has not starved to death yet.
However, since the death of Old Lady Ji, Ji Tongping's life has not been easy and he has lost a lot of weight.
Seeing Ji Can coming back, Liu E was very happy and hurriedly said, "Can'er, come on, give me some money. I haven't even had a sip of brown sugar water since I gave birth to Xiaopeng."
Ji Can looked at the hungry baby crying in her mother's arms, her heart cold and hard, without any warmth at all. She stared at her mother coldly, "Is his last name Luo or Ji?"
Liu E was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who cares what his last name is? He is your brother. From now on, you and Wenwen must treat him well and take good care of him."
Ji Can left without looking back, tears rolling down her face. She hated her mother for not being able to take care of her husband and children peacefully like her aunt did. Why did she have to be so unfaithful? Couldn't she live without a man?
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Ji Can saw his grandmother coming towards them with a basket. Mrs. Wang saw Ji Can and called her.
Ji Can walked over impatiently. The reason why Liu E was so shameless was really related to Wang Po. Wang Po was also a slut. The Liu family's slut business was inherited by the daughters.
"Can'er, your mother has given birth. I saved a few eggs and half a pound of brown sugar. You can use them to make some sugar water for your mother."
Ji Can refused outright, "If you want to take it, take it yourself. I won't take it."
She was about to leave, but Mrs. Wang stopped her and said, "Can'er, don't go. I have to tell you that I came here for another reason. A soldier in our village has returned. He is very young and an officer. He wants to find a wife. I said you are a good person. Come with me to find your mother and we can discuss this matter."
Thinking of the officer Ji Xia married, Ji Can's heart was moved.
Yan Fanggang's mother looked down on her. In fact, if there were other better options, Ji Can would not have to hang herself on a tree.
Ji Can had no choice but to go back to the cowshed with Wang Po.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. The art competition between the Independent Division and the Southern Corps was to be held on that evening. The auditorium was decorated beautifully in advance. Following Ji Xia's guidance, the Independent Division built a T-shaped stage and also had lights.
The lights are very colorful, but according to Liang Zihua, they consume a lot of electricity and are quite wasteful.
However, Ji Xia also said that after the New Year, they could consider increasing the power supply in the entire Bing County.
The auditorium was bustling with activity. Seeing the constantly changing lights on the stage, everyone from the Southern Corps was astonished. He Mingtang was even more envious, saying to Liang Zihua, "You guys are truly extravagant. Such a high-end display. What's the point? Are you trying to overwhelm us with your presence?"
Liang Zihua rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why are you so petty? You're guests, and we're treating you with such sincerity, yet you still don't know how to appreciate it!"
When the lights in the auditorium went out, the screen began to light up and background music started playing. Only then did the people of the Southern Corps see the magnificent scenery changing on the screen. The beauty of nature is truly intoxicating!
Then, the list of names of the performers for the art performance was displayed repeatedly on the screen, clearly and concisely. As soon as this high-tech thing was displayed, the people of the Southern Corps were immediately shocked.
Although He Mingtang led the team to conduct cold-resistant training, he did not stay in the training ground every day. He would occasionally go out to visit friends in Bing County, and he saw all the changes in Bing County.
"Lao Liang, tell me, where did you get such high-end stuff?" He Mingtang was really envious.
Liang Zihua laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do. We always lose. In order to avoid losing this time, we pulled out all our best techniques."
He Mingtang knew he was being nonsensical and couldn't help but scoff at him before continuing, "This is truly a good thing. However, I suggest you focus your energy on developing industry. What's the point of producing these flashy, useless things?"
