Ji Xin had already looked around the house, unlike Old Man Ji who was lying in the second bedroom and only came out when he heard his granddaughter calling him to eat.

"Grandpa, now that you're out, why don't you stay here for a few more days? I'll take you around, and then we can go back." Ji Ling picked up a piece of meat for her grandfather.

Old man Ji narrowed his eyes and smiled, "No, we can't leave the family without someone, and your second uncle has to go to work, so let's wait until next time. By the way, I heard from your father that you are going to have the wedding in December? Will it be held here or at home?"

"We'll do it on both sides." Ji Ling realized that her grandfather didn't want to talk about the previous topic, so she didn't keep nagging about it. "It should be held at our place at the end of December. I'll ask for leave from school and go back then."

Old Man Ji nodded, "Okay, okay, our Ji family hasn't had a wedding in many years, so we're going to make it a lively occasion this time."

Then he talked about Ji Yong's accident, "The man was caught, but he had no money and couldn't pay compensation. Fortunately, thanks to you, your father was able to recover."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "It's all in the past. I'm a daughter, and this is what I should do."

Afterwards, Ji Ling had a polite chat with her second uncle and her two cousins, and the meal was over.

"Xiaoling, I see there's a phone at home. Can I borrow it?" Ji Xin walked into the kitchen and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, you can use it as you like. The phone is there to be used." Ji Ling said.

Ji Xin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice a little, "Xiaoling, please persuade grandpa to stay here for a few more days."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa's condition is very serious?"

Ji Xin smiled and nodded.

"Okay, don't worry, Second Uncle. I will definitely keep the person here." Ji Ling asked again what the illness was. Before Second Uncle Ji could speak, the voice of Old Man Ji came from the living room.

"Ji Xin, where have you been?"

"Tell Xiaoling I need to use the phone." Ji Xin replied loudly, then turned back and whispered to Ji Ling, "I'm going out first. Your grandfather is afraid that I will talk to you alone."

Ji Ling smiled and nodded, watching her second uncle leave.

Even if her second uncle didn't say anything, she could tell that her grandfather didn't want to trouble her. Thinking about how her grandfather stopped her second uncle from talking to her alone, Ji Ling became worried about her grandfather's condition.

Seeing my second uncle’s reaction today, I thought grandpa was fine, but now it seems she was wrong.

In the living room, Old Man Ji also warned his son in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble for Xiaoling. She married into a wealthy family. If our family keeps asking people to do things for us, Xiaoling's in-laws won't say anything, but they will look down on Xiaoling. Do you hear me?"

"Dad, I didn't say anything." Ji Xin smiled bitterly, "Besides, I think it would be easier to find Xiaoling's in-laws to handle this matter."

"No, if you dare to tell Xiaoling, I will go home immediately." Old Man Ji interrupted his son.

Ji Xin quickly swore that he would not tell anyone, but he had some opinions in his heart. Looking at where Xiaoling lived, he saw that there was a telephone installed at home, which showed that her husband's family was very powerful. Even the fact that his eldest brother had surgery showed the capabilities of the Zhu family.

What they wanted to do was related to Zhu Weidong, so as long as they asked, the Zhu family would be able to help, and they wouldn't have to run here to ask for help and not even be able to see anyone.

Ji Xin felt resentful but didn't dare to say it, so he called home to report that he was safe.

I called a public phone in the alley. There is a charge for answering the call, but it is low, just two yuan.

However, if you make a call like this, most people will hang up and ask the other party to call back. But Ji Xin didn't do that. Ten minutes later, he called back to the public phone in the alley.

Ji Ling didn't care about these things, but through this incident she could see that her second uncle was a very petty person. He looked very kind on weekdays, and who would have thought that he would do something to take advantage of others.

So when interacting with people, don't just look at the surface, make comments after getting to know them.

The same goes for Gao Jing's situation.

Ji Xin was calling home. Ji Ling soon heard the conversation between his second uncle and second aunt in the kitchen. Most of the conversations were normal, mostly asking about the children's studies and the situation at home.

Later, she heard her second uncle advising her second aunt to persuade Old Madam Ji. Ji Ling smiled, it seemed that she was not just targeting them, Old Madam Ji was not polite to anyone.

When resting at night, Ji Ling took out a new quilt and was glad that Zhu Weidong was thoughtful and asked Zhu Heping to buy so many quilts. Zhu Heping bought them directly and Ji Ling didn't even have the chance to refuse.

One bed was built for Wang Sanmei, and now grandpa and second uncle have built two beds, so they are all being used.

Old man Ji went to bed early. Ji Ling was reading in the room. When she heard some noise in the living room, she pushed the door open and walked out. "Second uncle, is grandpa asleep?"

"I'm asleep." Ji Xin smiled, "Do you have a lot of homework now?"

"Is everything okay, second uncle? What's wrong with grandpa? Is it serious?" Ji Ling wanted to keep grandpa for two more days in the evening, but grandpa insisted on going back. He was even stubborn and went back to the room without talking to you.

Ji Xin sighed, "Your grandfather is not sick. We are here to find someone to do something for us."

Ji Ling opened her mouth and smiled, "I'm glad Grandpa is okay."

"Xiaoling, you know that Pingshun is studying at the Railway Technical School. There's news from their school that if we find someone to arrange it now, we can assign him to a big city in the future. Your cousin wants to be a train attendant and doesn't want to work on the railway. Your grandfather had a friend who worked on the railway, so we came here this time."

Ji Ling thought about what was going on and said, "Pingshun still has a few years to go before graduation, so the news we hear now is not accurate. Uncle, don't worry too much. In fact, building railways is easier. They should have a week-on-week job. Train attendants should work three days and rest three days, right? They have no free time."

Ji Xin smiled and said, "I said there's no need to rush. Ping'an is not urgent, but Pingshun is. Your grandma couldn't bear it, so she urged me and your grandpa to come here. The other party also said that there are still two years to graduate, so there's no need to rush. So I thought about bringing your grandpa out and taking him around more, but he disagreed, fearing that it would cost too much money. You've seen your grandpa's temper, so there's no need to persuade him. We'll go back tomorrow."

"Don't get angry, Uncle. Pingshun still needs to work for another two years. No one knows what new policies will be introduced in two years."

"You are right."

After saying this, the uncle and nephew went back to their rooms to rest.

Ji Ling could tell that her second uncle wanted her help. Zhu Weidong worked at the railway station and could indeed help if needed.

But she really didn't like Ji Pingshun, who was self-righteous and condescending. On the contrary, Ji Ping'an was better.

The next day, Ji Ling sent her grandfather and second uncle to the train station, bought some things for them to carry, and watched them enter the station before leaving.

As a result, as soon as I got home, Xu Fang called me.
