Chapter 114 What Brothers?
"Tsk, young man, read more newspapers when you have time. Where is there any money to be made in the South now?" An old man next to him smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The young man was somewhat stunned: "Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
"There's a crisis right now, and many rich people can't pay their debts, so they're forced to jump off buildings."
The young man's face changed and he immediately looked in the direction the beggar had just left.
But in just a short while, it had disappeared.
He thought about it, got on his bike, and rushed towards Jijia Bay.
"Brother-in-law, I have seen your third brother several times. That beggar looks a lot like your third brother. Why don't you give him a call and ask?" The young man asked tentatively while sitting in Ji Jianjun's house.
Sun Qingxia was just coming over with some water. Upon hearing this, she pushed her brother Sun Liqiang's arm and said, "What are you talking about? Your brother-in-law's brother is a college student. He's making a lot of money in the south now! He just came back more than a month ago and even bought a car."
Sun Qingxia was afraid that Ji Jianjun would be angry, so she quickly said nice things.
His younger brother is useless in study and work, and he has not married yet at such an old age. He still hopes that his brother-in-law Ji Jianjun will help him in the future!
Girls nowadays ask for thousands of dollars in dowry!
"Hey, I didn't believe it at first. I thought they were making a lot of money in the south, so why would they appear in the county? Then an old man next to me told me that there was a crisis right now, and many rich people were..."
Before Sun Liqiang could finish his words, Sun Qingxia hit him with her arm.
This silly boy, how come he has no brains at all?
Sun Liqiang stared at his sister blankly, his face full of confusion.
Ji Jianjun had a cold face. Seeing that Sun Liqiang stopped talking, he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with rich people?"
Sun Liqiang touched his head, looked at his sister, and dared not speak.
Sun Qingxia pushed him in anger and said, "Go ahead and talk. When I told you to shut up, you kept talking. Now that I told you to talk, you've become a gourd with a sawed mouth. No wonder no girl likes you!"
Having said that, Sun Qingxia angrily put the teacup next to Sun Liqiang and went downstairs to cook.
Sun Liqiang then looked at Ji Jianjun awkwardly and said, "He said there is a crisis right now. Many wealthy people in the south owe a lot of money and were forced to jump off buildings."
When Ji Jianjun heard this, his body froze.
Sun Liqiang also felt that he was not welcome, so he quickly jumped down from the kang: "Brother-in-law, I will leave first. It's time to go home for dinner..."
"Wait a moment!" Sun Liqiang had just walked to the door when Ji Jianjun called him again.
He looked back at Ji Jianjun with a stiff face: "Sister...brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Where did you see it?"
Sun Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's right in front of Yucai Middle School."
After saying that, he walked away without even looking back.
Seeing this, Sun Qingxia shouted from behind: "Let's finish our meal before leaving?"
Sun Liqiang didn't answer and ran away.
There is a big age gap between him and Sun Qingxia, and his brother-in-law has been controlling him since he was a child. He is really a little afraid of his brother-in-law Ji Jianjun, who is even more powerful than his father!
Sun Qingxia sighed, "When will you be sensible? You've been running around all day."
As they were talking, Ji Jianjun also walked towards the yard.
"Where are you going?" Sun Qingxia asked, putting the vegetables on the ground.
Since Liqiang is not eating at home, there is no need to cook so early.
It's only ten o'clock!
"I'm going to the grocery store and make a phone call." Ji Jianjun said as he walked out without turning his head.
Sun Qingxia understood that Jianjun had listened to Liqiang's words.
Come to think of it, ever since the third and second brothers had a fight and ran back to the south, they haven’t called back since.
One time, Jianjun couldn't help himself and called him, but Chen Mei blocked his call back.
Could it be that something really happened to the third brother?
In the grocery store, Ji Jianjun listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, his heart beating fast.
What’s going on? Why doesn’t the third brother answer the phone?
When I called the third number, the other end finally answered the phone.
Ji Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief, "Jianguo? What's wrong with you?"
A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's Big Brother!"
It was Chen Mei, and Ji Jianjun felt relieved.
"Yeah, let Jianguo answer the phone. I have something to say to him."
Chen Mei chuckled: "Brother, don't call me anymore. Ji Jianguo and I are divorced. As for where Ji Jianguo went, I don't know. He is a pauper now, and he can only go back to his hometown!"
Divorced? Penniless? Ji Jianjun felt as if a bolt from the blue had hit his head.
"How could you get divorced? Besides, you haven't come back, so how can you get divorced?" Don't divorces have to be processed in the place where one's registered residence is located?
The two of them were fine when they came back last time.
Chen Mei sneered: "He has already signed the agreement. When I have time, I will go back to get the certificate. I won't talk to you, brother. You can ask Ji Jianguo for the details!"
Having said that, Shen Mei hung up the phone.
Looking at the hung up call, Ji Jianjun was stunned.
After a moment, he came to his senses and called again, but the number was no longer connected.
After giving the money, Ji Jianjun returned home anxiously.
However, he did not return to his own home, but to his mother's place.
When I went there, I also called the second brother along.
No matter what, we are a family and we have to find a solution.
So much time has passed, even if the second brother is very angry, he should calm down, especially since the third brother is now in a bad state.
"Oh my god, it must be that bitch Chen Mei who did this! How did my good son become a pauper? When my son had money, she shamelessly chased him, and now that my son has no money, she divorced him?"
Xu Xiuhua slapped her thigh and said angrily: "This bitch, she ruined my good son!"
Ji Jianjun had a headache: "Mom, now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find the third brother quickly, who knows what the situation is!"
We have been sleeping in the open air and haven't had a full meal for many days.
"Second brother, go home, ride your bike, and come with me to the county to look for him!" Ji Jianjun said, and was about to get up and ride his bike home.
But who would have thought that the second brother would directly refuse: "Brother, if you want to go, you go. I'm not going anyway!"
"What?" Ji Jianjun suspected that he had misheard. "It's been so long, you still remember it, brother? After all, we are brothers from the same mother!"
"What brother? Did he think of me when he had money? Now that he has no money, he thinks of me! I still say the same thing, I won't go!" Ji Jianye stood up while speaking, "I still have to go to the fields, I'm busy in the fields!"
