Chapter 14: The old father’s satisfaction is almost written on his face
Ji Fengshou was very calm, as if he didn't hear it.
The patriarch looked at this scene with a complicated expression.
I felt that Ji Fengshou was spineless.
But he also felt that although doing so would be shameful, it might make life a little better for his family.
The expression on his face naturally changed as he was confused.
"After all, Fengshou has studied for a few years. How could he not have the integrity of a scholar? How could he do such a thing? Fengyi doesn't care."
Ji Zhiheng didn't think too much about it. He just felt that this scene made him very uncomfortable, and he spoke with a disappointed look.
The patriarch glanced at his eldest son, whom he had once been proud of, and let out a long sigh.
Ji Changying had sharp ears and eyes, so she naturally heard what others were saying about her father.
Feeling unhappy, he quickly took a few steps forward and deliberately supported Ji Fengshou: "Dad, are you tired? I'll serve you some food."
Ji Fengshou's calm face suddenly became happy: "Okay!"
Ji Changying turned her head and glanced at the person next to her who was glaring at her father and daughter. She spoke in a calm tone, as if she was just chatting casually: "Why are you meddling in other people's business? We can give our things to whoever we want. Who cares?"
Ji Fengshou smiled and pulled her along: "It's just a barking dog, ignore it, let's go eat quickly."
"A country girl, so uneducated! How could the Ji family have such a fawning and obsequious person? She is a disgrace to the entire clan!"
"Without us, you would always be country bumpkins who only know how to farm. How dare you talk to me like this now!"
"You've been sucking our blood for so many years, and now you don't recognize your own identity? Kneel down and apologize!"
Seeing that the officials did not come out to stop them, some people in the capital became bolder.
They all stood up and accused them.
The people in Lotus Village also became angry and stood up, and the atmosphere became tense.
Uncle had a sullen face.
Ji Fengshou didn't care about other people's opinions, but when he looked at his elder brother's face, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He admitted that he was spineless and lacked the dignity of a scholar.
But can face be eaten at this time?
Anyway, he has been such a shameless person since he was a child. He doesn't care what others think of him, but he cares what his family thinks of him.
"Everyone, I don't know what you mean by us clinging to you and sucking your blood for so many years?"
Ji Fengyi looked at the group of people in Beijing in a deep voice.
"Humph! Is it true that the clan school collects money and land every year? Could it be that this money just fell from the sky? Isn't it all the money that we, the Ji family in the capital, get!"
Ji Fengyi bowed politely and asked:
"Everyone in Lotus Village knows that Lord Ji donates money and land to the clan school every year to encourage us to study. The amount donated each year, as well as the time and place of donation, are all recorded. As for these people... May I ask when and where the donations were made? Do you have a detailed account of the amounts? The clan leader is here, and we can confront them."
Those people were suddenly stuck, and you could hear a pin drop.
Before the group of people could figure out how to start, Ji Chenyan, who had been watching the show for a long time, suddenly burst out laughing:
"This is truly surprising! My father, the real boss, hasn't said anything yet a bunch of parasites have jumped out to righteously accuse others. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were my father's filial sons and grandsons, settling scores with the clansmen back home on my father's behalf!"
As soon as Ji Chenyan opened his mouth, he attracted a lot of hatred.
Those people immediately forgot who they were arguing with, and their anger immediately shifted to him:
"Ji Chenyan! We are all your uncles, and this is how you talk to us? Don't think you can disrespect your elders just because you rely on your father. We are all prisoners now, and no one is superior to anyone else!"
"You know you're a prisoner, but you still don't behave yourself. You're really old and confused!"
After cursing, Ji Chenyan left with a flick of his sleeves, looking very relaxed and at ease.
“You…you…”
A few older people were so angry that they pointed at his back and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Uncle, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my father. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He just wanted to advise you that you should worry less when you are old so that you can live longer. Don't you agree?"
silence.
Deathly silence.
The boy was wearing dirty prison clothes and had heavy shackles on his hands and feet.
She is tall and slender, standing there as proudly as a pine or cypress.
There was a smile on Qingjun's face, and he seemed to have a very good attitude, but the words that came out of his mouth were cold.
"Ji Qingyu! I'll beat you to death, you bastard! How dare you curse my father!"
The person who spoke took off one of his shoes and threw it at Ji Qingyu.
He tilted his head, grabbed the shoe accurately, and then raised his arm under the other person's angry eyes.
The shoe formed a perfect parabola and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Ji Changying chuckled and couldn't help laughing.
This father and son pair is really interesting!
Ji Qingyu turned her head and seemed to glare at her, then looked at the opposite side again: "You still have one chance."
It means there is one more shoe.
"You are shameless!"
The other party still had some common sense and did not throw away the shoes on his feet.
If I throw this away, I won’t have shoes to wear tomorrow.
"It's all your fault. We've all become like this now, and you still say such things. You're so heartless!"
Ji Ruolin saw that both sides were about to give up, and the moment she spoke, she added fuel to the fire.
After these words were spoken, some people who were originally just watching the show immediately felt resentful and looked at Ji Qingyu with eyes full of hatred.
Ji Qingyu looked at Ji Ruolin with annoyance and turned back.
The people of Lotus Village looked at the patriarch.
"Although Master Ji is gone, I know he wouldn't forget his ancestors. We are indebted to him, so we don't blame him. After all, we have received Master Ji's kindness, and this is what we deserve. It doesn't make sense to only enjoy the kindness of your clan members and not dare to take risks. From now on, we will not interfere with you. If anyone dares to slander Master Ji's reputation after his death, don't blame us for treating him as an enemy!"
The patriarch frowned and uttered harsh words.
When the people of Lotus Village heard the clan leader speak, they followed behind him and cursed.
"That's right! You are slandering such a good person like Master Ji! It's like eating with a bowl in hand and cursing after putting it down!"
"He's not even as good as the old bachelor in our village. At least he's grateful to Master Ji for donating food to him every year!"
"Bah! How ungrateful!"
"You better watch your mouths from now on, otherwise I don't care what you did in Beijing before. My five brothers are not vegetarians. If I hear you scolding Master Ji and that brother again, you'll be in trouble!"
When Ji Shilin's brothers heard their eldest brother's words, they all rolled up their sleeves, revealing their muscular arms that had been sculpted from years of hard work.
The faces of those people in Beijing were colorful and very exciting.
Back at their own seat, the whole family watched Ji Fengshou.
Ji Fengyi took the lead in filling a bowl of soup and handed it to him: "Eat it."
Ji Fengshou grinned: "You don't think I'm embarrassing, do you?"
"What's so shameful about this! How much is face worth? Isn't the comfort of our family more important than face?"
Mrs. Hu didn't think of this at first, but she immediately thought of it when she saw the official.
She thought her brother-in-law was quite clever, but she never expected that someone would be so meddling and nosy.
"You've grown up." Ji Fengyi smiled.
Ji Changying felt ashamed when she saw this.
The way the uncle looked at her father was almost enough to show the old father's satisfaction written all over his face.
This is my younger brother!
