Zhu Weidong didn't stay at Ji's house for long.

After he left, Xu Fang scolded Ji Ke, "What do you need the phone number and address for? What if people misunderstand that you are trying to curry favor with them?"

"My sister doesn't call home, and my dad misses her every day. Mom can bear it, but I can't stand it." Ji Ke held the note in her hand and asked Ji Yong, "Dad, tell me what you want to say, and I'll call for you."

Seeing that her daughter was not listening to her, Xu Fang glared at her husband and turned back to the house.

Ji Yong smiled and said, "We already talked on the phone the day before yesterday. There's no rush. Keep your phone number and address. I'll ask for them when I need them."

Ji Ke put it in his pocket with a smile.

Xu Fang came out of the house with a basin in her hand, "Go pick up two pieces of tofu and give them to your dad to eat with sauce in the evening."

Ji Ke took the basin with a smile and went out.

On the way, Ji Ke met Tian Jing. Ever since the last misunderstanding when she went door to door to apologize, Tian Jing rarely went out except for working in the button factory.

These days, something happened to the Ji family, and everyone in the family compound knew about it.

All we know is that Ji Yong went to the capital for surgery, and it was a craniotomy. As for Ji Ling's marriage, the Ji family never told anyone about it, so no one knew about it except a few close family members.

Tian Jing saw Ji Ke from a distance and was about to turn away, but Ji Ke had already called out, "Tian Jing."

The two were not far away from each other, and Tian Jing couldn't pretend not to hear it, so she could only turn around and look at Ji Ke.

Ji Ke quickly walked up to her and asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"

Tian Jing said, "I took a day off today because my mother is sick."

"Aunt Li is sick? Is everything okay?"

"I have a slight fever and have taken medicine." Tian Jing answered each question she was asked.

Ji Ke nodded, "By the way, I heard you are getting married?"

Tian Jing nodded shyly, "We'll have a feast on National Day. Come over if you're free. Your sister is studying in the capital, so I'm afraid she won't be able to come back, right?"

It's just a few days of vacation, and you still have to spend money on the trip back. Generally, families with children studying far away will only come back during the winter and summer vacations.

Knowing that Ji Ling would not come back, but the Ji family's conditions were not bad, Tian Jing couldn't help but want to confirm it.

"Congratulations." Ji Ke smiled and said, "I should be able to find time, and I will definitely go then. As for my sister, she probably won't be back. The National Day holiday is only a few days, and she should go back to her own home."

"My own home?" Tian Jing was puzzled.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "My sister is also married. She and my brother-in-law got the marriage certificate this summer. We didn't have a wedding because time was tight. It should be held by the end of the year."

"Is your sister married?" Tian Jing was surprised. "Why haven't I heard her talk about dating before?"

"We haven't known each other for long, and he's from the capital."

capital.

Tian Jing's eyes widened. "The man's job is pretty good, right?"

Ji Ke nodded, "The family conditions are good."

As for work, Ji Ke still doesn't know what Zhu Weidong does.

"That's great. Xiaoling has always been lucky." Tian Jing felt indescribably disappointed.

Ji Ling is inferior to her in every way, but she relies on her beauty to make boys treat her well. She has a bad lifestyle, and yet she marries a man from the capital.

How could people in the capital possibly like Ji Ling?

And they got married in such a short time, there must be something fishy.

The more Tian Jing thought about it, the more she felt this way. She was distracted in front of Ji Ke and only came back to her senses after being called several times.

"Then you should go home soon and say hello to Aunt Li for me." Ji Ke waved to Tian Jing, said he was going to pick up tofu, and left.

Tian Jing returned home absent-mindedly.

Tian Jing sat back on the kang, "Mom, Ji Ling got married. She just met Ji Ke. She said so."

Li Hua felt weak all over, but he sat up after hearing the news. "Why is there no movement from the Ji family?"

Tian Jing shook her head, "They said they had known each other for a short time, and the man's family is from the capital."

Li Hua opened her mouth slightly, obviously also shocked by the news, "No way? Marrying to the capital is also a prestigious thing. How come the Ji family didn't leak any news?"

"Mom, do you think there's something wrong with the man?"

"What are you talking about?"

Tian Jing faced her mother's angry glare and expressed her suspicions. "Look, how much does it cost for Uncle Ji to go to the capital for surgery? Does the Ji family have the money? Ji Ling is getting married at this time, and she is from the capital. The Ji family has been hiding her marriage from her. It must be shameful."

Li Hua did not immediately refute what her daughter said.

There is something strange about this.

Ji Ling got married too suddenly and too hastily.

Where did the Ji family get the money for the surgery? The man was from the capital, and the Ji family went to the capital for the surgery.

After connecting them in this way, they are really connected together.

Li Hua wanted to refute his daughter, but he couldn't find any words to explain himself.

Tian Jing exhaled slowly, "Ji Ke said Ji Ling doesn't have time now, and the wedding can only be held in winter, so let's wait until winter."

Li Hua sighed, "It's enough for you to know about this matter. Don't make the same mistake as last time. Do you hear me?"

Tian Jing smiled and said, "I know."

Li Hua was worried, and warned her daughter, "You didn't do it on purpose last time, and it was your first offense, so no one would think too much of it. But if you do it again this time, it won't be so easy to let it go. Besides, you're getting married soon, and your mother-in-law is a face-conscious person. She didn't like you in the first place, and she was the kind of person who would cancel the engagement on the wedding day."

Tian Jing pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I don't like Liu Zili either. If he doesn't take over his mother's job in the factory, what else can he do? If you weren't determined to be with him, I would definitely not agree to this marriage."

"Mom, Liu Zili is a good guy. His father worked in an agricultural machinery company. With this family background, he can find anything he wants. Why do you always look down on him?"

"If you don't like what I say, I won't tell you. You will understand after we get married and live together."

The conversation between mother and daughter ended on an unpleasant note.

When Liu Zili came to Tian Jing to watch a movie in the evening, he saw that Tian Jing was in a bad mood. Liu Zili said unhappily, "If you don't like it, let's go home. Why are you still so sullen when you come out, as if someone owes you something."

"Liu Zilii, why do you want to marry me?" Tian Jing bit her lip and asked him.

"Why are you asking this?" Liu Zili squinted at her, "What? You don't want to marry me?"

Tian Jing hurriedly shook her head, "That's not what I meant. Your father is the manager of an agricultural machinery company, and you could have found someone better than me, but you did... You didn't marry me because I used to be good friends with Ji Ling, did you?"

After struggling for a while, Tian Jing finally asked the last sentence.

Liu Zilii's face darkened and he looked at her coldly. Tian Jing was frightened by his look.

She shrank her neck. "Didn't you pursue Ji Ling before? You even lent her money."

"The past is the past. Besides, Ji Ling is a college student. I am not worthy of her." Liu Zili said self-deprecatingly, "Okay, let's go to the movies."

The unhappiness in Liu Zilii's tone sounded like a hand twisting her heart to Tian Jing's ears, making her extremely uncomfortable.

She always knew that Liu Zili married her because of Ji Ling.

After a test today, her guess was indeed confirmed.
