Even Ji Yong looked at his daughter disapprovingly, "Xiao Ke, the Zhu family looks like an upright family, they would never do something like that."

Ji Ke looked innocent, "Dad, I also heard from my classmates that those with good family backgrounds will receive special care."

The implication is that she also heard it from others.

In a word, there is no need to take responsibility, and all the mistakes are pushed onto others.

"Stay away from such students in the future. They have distorted values ​​and are not decent people."

Ji Ke responded obediently, "Dad, I'll remember that."

Ji Yong also noticed that his eldest daughter looked unhappy. "Children nowadays are not like before. They used to be simple and focused on studying. Now after just a few days of eating, they start to like dressing up and stop paying attention to their studies."

"It's not something we worry about if it's not in the right place. With the tightening of national policies, the entrance threshold to universities will be higher and higher in the future. It won't be as easy to get in as it is now. I was able to get into university because of good luck." Ji Ling still remembered what her elder brother said to her on the phone, "Dad, what's the matter with Ji Ke teaching at Capital University? Which one is she going to apply for?"

Ji Yong said, "I don't know which one she will take."

"Tsinghua University and Peking University are top universities, and Jiaotong University is also good. Didn't Wang Ermei get into Jiaotong University? Judging from this year's results, Ji Ke still needs to work harder. I can see that his score will be higher."

Ji Ke was lying on the windowsill, his face pale.

Ji Yong nodded, "Indeed."

He seemed not to notice that his little daughter looked unhappy, and asked her, "Xiao Ke, did you hear what your sister said? You need to work harder."

"Dad, I get it." Ji Ke shrank back shakily.

Ji Ling smiled and winked at her father. Ji Yong shook his head. What his little daughter did was wrong and her eyelids were shallow. If he scolded her in person, he was afraid that she would cry out of grievance and her eyes would be swollen. His wife would definitely nag him again when she came back.

But no matter what, Ji Yong couldn't bear to watch it.

Cooperating with the eldest daughter, he gave the younger daughter some hints and advice, hoping that the younger daughter could learn the lesson of filial piety.

In the afternoon, Ji Jianhua came back after lunch and went out to visit friends. He called Ji Ling and said he would take her out to play, and then took her away.

Ji Ke heard the noise in the house, but when he came out, he could no longer see the two people.

She pouted, "Dad, does Big Brother dislike me?"

Ji Yong was drowsy in the rocking chair and didn't hear what his little daughter said. Ji Ke felt aggrieved and went straight out of the house to the department store.

Xu Fang was quite surprised to see her daughter coming over. "Aren't you reading at home?"

Speaking of reading, Ji Ke thought of what Ji Ling said in the afternoon and pouted, "I've been reading for a long time, so I want to read it out."

When Xu Fang saw it, she knew that she had been wronged.

She called Xiao Liu over to help watch over the baby for a while and took her daughter to the backyard.

"Did you have a fight with Ji Ling?"

Ji Ke shook his head and nodded.

Xu Fang tucked the broken hair behind her daughter's ears and said, "Tell mom what happened?"

Ji Ke thought about what happened in the afternoon, "My classmate said it, not me. My sister was unhappy. Then she compared me with Wang Ermei and said that I was not as good as Wang Ermei. I could hear it."

"You are wrong in this matter. Our family and the Zhu family are relatives now. Even if no one says so, you should stand up and refute it even if someone says so to your face. Ji Ling is strong-willed and of course she can't stand you saying bad things about her in-laws. When you get married in the future, you will do the same." Xu Fang used herself as an example again, "When I was with your father, your grandfather broke off relations with me. Later, I sent you back, and they still treated you well with all their hearts, right?"

Ji Ke bit her lip, "Is it necessary to be so fussy when we are talking as a family?"

"Some things can be said, but some things cannot be said casually even among family members." Xu Fang was determined. Her daughter was too naive. She wanted her daughter to grow up. "Through this incident, you must reflect on yourself. If you encounter such a thing or similar things in the future, you must know what to do and what to say. Learn to summarize your experiences by yourself. Only then can you gain a foothold in society. Do you understand?"

I thought it would be better not to come, because coming would make me feel even more upset.

Xu Fang still had half an hour before get off work ended, so she asked her daughter to wait for her in the backyard while she went back to the front.

Ji Ling, who was taken away by Ji Jianhua, was taken to the back of an alley wall. There were large stones piled at the base of the wall. Ji Jianhua whispered to her to step on them and look at the other side of the wall.

Ji Ling heard wailing from the other side of the wall. Her eldest brother stepped on it as soon as he opened his mouth. She secretly poked her head out and saw the scene on the other side of the wall.

A man was lying on the ground with a sack over his head, and three people were punching and kicking him.

Ji Ling knew these three people and was very familiar with them.

Zhu Yaowu, Zheng Shi and Qian Xiangqian.

These three people actually got together.

Ji Ling had already guessed who was beaten. She shrank back and asked Ji Jianhua in a low voice, "Brother, where is Zhu Weidong?"

Ji Jianhua said, "I heard that something happened to Grandma Zhu, so I asked him to go back first. There are guests coming to the house to entertain."

guest?

I don’t know why, but Ji Ling thought of what the girl said last night.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go take a look."

Before Ji Jianhua could open his mouth, he saw his sister had already gotten down from the pile of rocks and was walking quickly, getting faster and faster, even jogging.

Ji Jianhua still wanted to keep watch here, so he didn't chase after him.

Ji Ling didn't know why, but she ran to the gate of Zhu's house in one breath, but stopped and didn't go in.

She looked around and saw that the door next to Zhu's house was open. She hesitated and walked in. There was no one in the yard, but she could hear voices coming from the backyard.

Ji Ling didn't care about all this. She moved a stool from the yard and placed it under the wall. She stood on the stool and secretly looked into the Zhu family yard. Her eyes finally fell on the girl under the tree in the yard.

Although she was facing away from her, Ji Ling remembered the two big braids. She was the girl who tied up Zhu Weidong last night.

Besides the girl, there was an old man with gray hair. His skin was dark as if he had worked hard for many years, and his back was a little bent. "Old sister, please stay a few more days now that you are back. We are old and we don’t know when we will pass away. We can’t mistreat ourselves when we are old."

"Miao Hai, this is so true. The fact that you can say such things shows that you have let it go." Old Mrs. Zhu smiled.

"Grandma Zhu, can I come over and talk to you later?"

"Shaozhen, stop messing around. I came here this time because I have something serious to discuss with your grandmother Zhu."

"You can come every day. You are so sweet. I can't even beg you to come." Mrs. Zhu didn't care. "I am old now. I like young people like them."

At this time, Ji Ling watched Zhu Weidong come out of the house with some fruit in his hand. After putting it on the table, he sat down next to Old Mrs. Zhu.

"Brother Weidong." Miao Shaozhen came over and asked, "What do you like to do?"

"You are such a bad boy, why don't you sit back down?"

Mrs. Zhu smiled and replied on behalf of her grandson, "He is busy every day and is rarely at home."
