Lu Chu retired from the army. The people working around him were all clerical workers who couldn't lift a single hand. He was afraid of scaring them, so he endured it all the time.
Minister Ji nodded and took the lead in throwing a punch towards Lu Chuan.
Lu Chu was so excited that he didn't dodge and threw a punch in the face.
Who would have thought that Minister Ji suddenly withdrew his hand and was punched by Lu Chu for nothing.
A punch landed on Minister Ji's face, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
"Boss, why did you let go? Where did you hit? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Minister Ji hissed, "I didn't give in. Just keep beating me like that! You're using torture to extract a confession. You almost beat me to death."
"You, you want to..."
Minister Ji nodded. He just wanted to inflict a real injury to try to gain Ji Gaoyang's sympathy and guilt.
The sky is slightly brighter.
Minister Ji staggered home, holding on to the wall.
Ji Gaoyang looked around at the entrance of the alley and saw a man in a disheveled state, holding on to the wall and moving slowly in the distance. He was a little hesitant to recognize him.
His father had once been so majestic and full of vigor. How, how could he have become like this?!
"dad--"
Minister Ji's voice was weak, and from a distance it was unclear whether he responded or not.
Ji Gaoyang ran a few steps and rushed to Minister Ji. He looked at his face which was bruised and swollen, and there was not a single piece of flesh to be found!
"Go home."
"Oh, I forgot, we don't have a home anymore."
Minister Ji sighed dejectedly.
Ji Gaoyang reached out to help, but as soon as he touched Minister Ji's arm, he gasped in pain.
Damn it! Are those people still human?
Don’t they have any conscience? Don’t they feel any pain in their conscience?
Seeing Minister Ji taking three steps at a time, Ji Gaoyang squatted down and carried Minister Ji on his back.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Zong family compound and was about to put the person down, he saw Ji Nanfeng walking towards him.
Ji Nanfeng glanced at Ji Gaoyang and then looked away. He had no idea what this pair of fake lovers were doing in the alley so early in the morning instead of sleeping.
Ji Nanfeng was not interested in the fake wife at all. He had an extra job to do and he wished he could use one day as three days. Before daybreak, he could go home and hug his wife to sleep for a while.
He landed silently and heard voices outside the door.
"Dad, be careful."
"The investigation team is such a piece of shit, they actually resorted to lynching..."
Minister Ji leaned against the wall, panting, his tone weak: "Don't say that. Just do your job. The investigation team will not be wrong in any way they interrogate me, the prisoner."
"Oh!"
When Ji Gaoyang heard the sound, he looked over and saw Ji Nanfeng sitting on the empty wall again.
I climb walls every day, how can I be so good at it!!!
"Dad is injured like this, why are you still sitting there watching the fun? Come over and give him a hand!"
Ji Nanfeng's cold voice echoed from the top of the wall: "This is not my father. My father is buried in Hongyang County. He is your father. You should be filial to him."
After he finished speaking, Ji Nanfeng disappeared again.
This time, the sound of it landing was a little soft.
Minister Ji lowered his eyes, suppressing the unknown sadness. For some reason, he suddenly lost the mood to play the filial piety role.
"Let's go back."
Minister Ji endured the pain all over his body and gritted his teeth to return to the house.
Ji Gaoyang looked at the closed door and felt unhappy.
After he returned to his room, he tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Ji Gaoyang was awakened by the sound of banging on the door.
Because the eleventh day was a rest day, all the clan members were resting, so no one got up early.
Ji Gaoyang got up and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhan Tingbai with a pile of bags at his feet.
"You bastard Ji Gaoyang, I risked half my life to give birth to you. If it weren't for you, I could have had other children. But you would rather be filial and raise your father than take care of me!"
As soon as Zhan Tingbai saw Ji Gaoyang, he started scolding him.
"When you get the money back from the Zhan family, then talk to me about friendship!"
Ruan Xi was just coming back from buying groceries when he saw Ji Gaoyang and his wife arguing with each other at the gate of the Zong family's house. He couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
Minister Ji heard the noise and stood at the doorway and said, "How about I stay at the guesthouse for a few days?"
Ji Gaoyang refused. His father had lost his job, so how could he possibly live in a guesthouse? To avoid getting in trouble with others, he could only sleep under a bridge.
"Dad, don't worry about it! I'll send my mom back to the Zhan family!"
Boom!
Ji Gaoyang closed the door with his backhand, locking himself out.
The Zong family didn't have a cart, so Ji Gaoyang gritted his teeth and borrowed a cart from the Ruan family.
Ruan Qi asked Ji Gaoyang to pull the cart himself, and Ji Gaoyang pulled the cart out with great effort.
Ruan Tang bumped into Ji Nanfeng and said, "Your brother is having a hard time pulling so many things by himself. Why don't you go and help him?"
Ji Nanfeng rubbed Ruan Tang's head helplessly, "Don't be so curious."
Ruan Tang's tone was full of excitement. "I just ran into the Zhan family when I was walking around with Xiao Baibai. They kept scolding Ji Gaoyang for being unfilial and Zhan Ting for being a bad husband..."
"Ji Nanfeng, think about it, if Minister Ji is in this situation and he made a mistake, it wouldn't be considered a husband-killer, right?"
Ji Nanfeng resigned himself to his fate and walked to Ji Gaoyang's side, "I'll help you."
Ji Gaoyang was flattered, "No, no need."
Ji Nanfeng pulled up one of the handles of the cart and walked forward without saying a word.
Zhan Tingbai was cursing, but when he turned around and saw Ji Gaoyang and his brother pulling the cart together, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.
Her finger pointed at Ji Gaoyang and trembled, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Ji Gaoyang moved all her bags onto the cart and pushed her onto it.
Ji Nanfeng let go of the handlebars and silently gave the driver's position to Ji Gaoyang.
Ji Gaoyang looked back at Ji Nanfeng in confusion, wondering why he had just said he would help him and now he was regretting it.
Ruan Tang was afraid that Ji Nanfeng would say something inappropriate and would not be able to enter the Zhan family.
She pushed Ji Nanfeng away with her butt and spoke to Ji Gaoyang in a kind yet embarrassed manner.
"Gao Yang, your brother was right to help you just now, but asking him to help you pull your mother is wrong. I'm afraid my mother-in-law will be so angry that she will jump out of her bed."
Ji Gaoyang thought about it and expressed his understanding.
Ruan Tang praised Ji Gaoyang for being considerate and said, "How about this, we'll just stand behind and guard you. If anything falls, we'll warn you. And your brother is worried that you'll get scolded by the Zhan family if you go there. He's tall and strong, so he can protect you."
Ji Gaoyang took a look at Ji Nanfeng's size, then remembered that Ji Nanfeng could climb over the wall as easily as walking on flat ground, so he nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother and sister-in-law."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
After the cart started moving, Ji Nanfeng and Ruan Tang followed behind it.
Ji Nanfeng rubbed Ruan Tang's face and said, "Stop laughing. You're laughing like a wolf grandmother."
People are almost being fooled.
