Today's Bing County has changed a lot compared to before.
The road has been widened a lot, and the street lights are turned on at night. This is because the factory has to work night shifts and three shifts, and workers go to and from get off work at night. Therefore, the lights are basically on all night.
When we entered the county town, it was exactly eleven or twelve o'clock at night. There were still people coming and going on the road, some riding bicycles, some walking, and some wearing work clothes walking on the road.
Ji Xia was driving very slowly. When he turned a corner, he swept his headlights over and saw two people fighting at the corner. Ji Xia took a glance and felt that the figures of both people were very familiar.
It’s Ji Fang and Ji Can.
How could these two good aunt and nephew start fighting?
I haven't thought about these people for a long time.
Ji Xia didn't care. When she was almost near the machinery factory, she found an empty alley, parked the car, and put it into the space.
She trudged back to the machinery factory's staff quarters. When she was almost at the door, she heard a howl, "Murder! Ji Can is killing someone! Help! Come quickly!"
There were employees going to work at the entrance of the machinery factory. Without even saying hello to Ji Xia, they ran towards the source of the sound. Among them was Ji Jianguo.
Ji Jianguo had just gotten off work and ran a few steps to see Ji Xia, "Xia Xia, you're back? Go back first, I'll go take a look!"
Ji Xia was speechless when she saw Ji Jianguo was exhausted and still ran to watch the fun.
However, Ji Jianguo was quite pedantic. He was not the type to enjoy watching the fun, but he went to watch simply because the people on the other side were Ji Can and Ji Fang.
Ji Xia didn't want Ji Jianguo to get the stinky poop on her hands, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, I'll go with you!"
The incident happened just next to the family compound, where Ji Xia had parked his car just now. Two people were pulling and fighting, chasing each other as they came over.
At this moment, Ji Can and Ji Fang were both held back. Their hair was disheveled, their cotton-padded jackets were so torn that the cotton wool could be seen, and they were covered in mud. One of Ji Can's shoes had fallen off. She lifted her leg and cursed at Ji Fang, "You bitch! You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later for hurting others like this!"
"I'm hurting people, how am I hurting people? Your mother is a bitch, she cheated on me. She gave birth to you before we got married, and gave birth to Xiaopeng after we got married. Your mother is a bitch, she doesn't take my brother seriously, even if I kill you, it's what I deserve!"
Ji Fang secretly came to the city to tear Ji Can out, and also to destroy Ji Can.
Ji Can's shameless mother Liu E actually lived in Luo Guangliang's house openly. She went to report it, and people from the commune came to investigate. They said that Liu E had no place to live and her child was young, so she rented a house from Luo Guangliang's family.
It was also her second brother's fault for not being ambitious. The situation in Bing County was so good now that he could make a living even if he found a job as a gatekeeper in the county town. But Ji Tonghua just refused to work. He would rather lie in the cowshed every day than go out to work.
Ji Hongmei still does the hardest and most tiring work in the village. The team gave her a piece of land, about five acres, on the side of the mountain that was so hard that even an excavator could not dig it, and asked her to farm it alone. She had to farm day and night, and was only given 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes every month. Occasionally, she got a better share, such as three or five kilograms of cornmeal. Even with this, she still had to support Ji Tongping.
But this is definitely not a reason for Liu E to have an affair.
"You are talking nonsense. I am going to sue you. You are slandering me!" Ji Can struggled to go up and fight Ji Fang, but was held down by someone.
I have to say that people of this era have very pure thoughts.
If it were in the future, even if someone was killed with a knife on the roadside, passers-by would just avoid it without blinking an eye.
Ji Fang saw Ji Jianguo and jumped up, saying, "Brother, brother, tell me, the whole production team knew it at the time. It was Liu E who said it herself. Ji Can is not from my Ji family at all. She is the bastard child of Liu E and Luo Guangliang's adultery!"
Ji Can looked over suddenly, and when he saw Ji Jianguo and Ji Xia, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes, filled with resentment, shone coldly.
Ji Xia smiled lightly, "One stroke can write two characters of Ji. What does this have to do with us?"
Ji Fang glared at Ji Xia fiercely and said to Ji Jianguo, "Brother, please speak up! Liu E is trying to kill my second brother. Mom is dead, and you are the eldest in the family!"
Ji Jianguo couldn't think of how to deal with this matter for a moment, "I'm not from your family. Your mother is dead, but my mother is still alive!"
Although he has not yet met Ji Youlan and his wife, he has dealt with them several times. Their high quality makes him feel like he is in the spring breeze.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder, if he had lived with Ji Youlan since childhood and received family education, would he have achieved more than what he has today?
All the achievements he has made today are the result of his hard work. If Bing County had not undergone the earth-shaking changes it has today, if he had not met Ji Youlan and his wife, and had not received Ji Youlan's guidance, he might still be very proud.
How can one not be excited and proud that a farm boy like him can reach such a height?
However, after he saw a higher and broader world, he felt unwilling and inevitably developed resentment. He grew up in Liu Jingui's hands and endured her abuse and bad temper since childhood. Before joining the army, he thought about how to escape from this family. After retiring from the army, he struggled to adapt to life and work.
The influence Liu Jingui left on him was actually very profound. It permeated his life and he has not been able to get rid of it until now.
If Ji Jianguo lived in the future, he would understand that this is the influence that the original family has on a person, and every detail is taken into consideration.
Ji Xia didn't expect her father to say such words. She felt both relieved and distressed when she heard it. She knew Liu Jingui too well. She was blatantly partial to her children and had exploited and attacked her father in various ways.
