Chapter 47: Strive for Self-improvement and Do What You Can



Ji Changgeng really wanted to ask whether he should ask the children what they thought first, but he saw that the children, who always kept their heads down and dared not look at people, did not dare to shout when they met people, and kept their heads buried all day long, like two little old men and women, now had a light flashing in their eyes.

They held their heads high, pursed their lips tightly, and were stubborn, but full of strength, with their backs straight. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, they had the courage to overcome it.

What's going on?

Are these two kids engaging in some kind of feudal superstition?

Without waiting for Ji Changgeng to ask, Ji Rongbin said, "Secretary, I want to live alone with my sister. We don't want to live with my uncle and aunt. They don't give us food. In winter, they deliberately pour water on our bedding to prevent us from sleeping. They also force us to go up the mountain to collect firewood before dawn and say that it would be better if we were taken away by wolves. The house left by my father will belong to Dongsheng from now on."

It's so unscrupulous!

What a loss of humanity!

Ji Changgeng was glad that he did not insist on letting the two children live with this vicious uncle and aunt, otherwise he would have been trying to kill the two children.

"These two children are too young. It's not appropriate to have no adults at home." Ji Changgeng hesitated.

Ji Rongbin quietly pulled Ji Xia's sleeve and looked at Ji Xia pitifully. At the beginning, his father died and his mother ran away. It was the clan that made him and his sister live with his uncle and aunt. They occupied his house and abused him and his sister.

Winter is coming soon, and he is afraid that he and his sister will not survive this winter.

Ji Xia also knew that Ji Changgeng's hesitation was justified, but if he continued on the previous path, Ji Rongbin and Ji Ronghua would have died this winter.

Before the restart, after entering the city, Old Lady Ji talked about things in the countryside and mentioned Ji Lagou and Shi Cuihua. It was about borrowing money. Old Lady Ji said that she dared not lend money to this heartless couple. She said that they had occupied her nephew's house and drove the two children to the mountains in the middle of winter, where they were eaten by jackals. When the villagers went up the mountain, only two thin clothes, bloodstains, and several broken bones were left.

At that time, she felt a chill down her spine.

This is also the reason why she wanted to intervene when she saw these two children.

"Please spare us, we will never dare to do it again!" Shi Cuihua cried.

Ji Lagou was also begging for mercy.

The couple was in excruciating pain.

Seeing that if they continued, someone would die, Ji Xia straightened their bones. The two men finally escaped death and breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been pardoned.

"We will definitely treat them well, and we will never dare to do that again!" Shi Cuihua kowtowed desperately.

She couldn't be driven out. Their old mud house was leaking everywhere and was not as comfortable as this big tiled house.

"Shut up and get out of here! Try making noise again!"

As soon as Ji Xia spoke, the couple quickly hid in the corner like a pair of quails.

Ji Xia said, "Then let Carpenter Yang come and live with Rongbin and Ronghua. Carpenter Yang will take care of them now, and when Rongbin grows up, he will take care of Carpenter Yang in his old age."

"But isn't Carpenter Yang's last name Yang?" Ji Changgeng frowned.

Ji Xia sneered, "Ji Lagou's last name is Ji, and he's the uncle of Rong Bin and his sister, but how can he be of any use? Besides, it doesn't matter if Carpenter Yang's last name is Yang. What matters between people is fate and conscience. If we really can't get along, we can work it out in the future. Since I'm in charge of these two children's affairs, I will see them through to the end. If there's anything I need to do, I will still help."

But she couldn't make the decision for the children, so she asked, "Tell Sister Xia Xia the truth, don't force yourself. If you were allowed to live with Uncle Yang, the carpenter at the head of your village, would you be willing?"

Ji Ronghua smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sister Xia Xia, we are willing. Uncle Yang often gives my brother and me food."

Ji Xia had also heard that Carpenter Yang's leg was broken by a wild boar while he was hunting in the mountains trying to save someone. He never married in his life and later adopted a baby girl who was abandoned by her parents and raised her into a college student.

"But..." she said to Ji Rongbin and his sister, "At any time, people must be self-reliant. Although you are young now, you must also strive for self-improvement and do what you can, understand?"

"Yes, Sister Xia Xia, we will all listen to you!" Tears flashed in Ji Rongbin's eyes.

Ji Ronghua said, "Sister Xia Xia, I will listen to you too. I will be very good!"

"good!"

Ji Xia also saw it. She gave a handful of candy to Ji Ronghua, but Ji Ronghua gave them all to the children around her and only kept one for herself.

A child who is getting wet in the rain, after getting an umbrella, can't wait to share it with others. She thinks such a child deserves to be saved.

She is not a god, but she hopes that these children who are struggling in the mud and growing up in hardship can grow up smoothly and always believe that there will always be a ray of light from the sun in the sky shining on them.

Ji Changgeng and Yang Muchun thought about it for a while and agreed, and asked someone to invite Yang the carpenter over.

Ji Changgeng told him everyone's decision, "You don't have to be embarrassed. If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, no one will force you. Even if the two children are pitiful, the production team can find other solutions."

Carpenter Yang was nearly forty years old and looked a little old, like a man in his fifties, but he dressed himself very neatly. He looked at the two children. No one in the village knew the two children's situation better than him.

Sometimes when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would break out in a cold sweat for his two children, but he also knew that even if he could support the two children on his own, he would not be able to win custody of them.
