"Sister, are you okay?" Ji Ke asked cautiously.
Xu Yujia was about to cry, and she defended herself, "I really didn't mean to push you. I just wanted to fight with Ji Pingshun at that time, and I didn't mean anything else."
Ji Ling looked at the two people standing in front of her with innocent faces, and her heart was choked with panic, "You want to apologize, then I stab you with a knife, and then I apologize to you, will you forgive me?"
“How can it be the same? I just pushed you.”
"Yes, you just pushed me, but you forgot that you pushed a pregnant woman and made her fall." Ji Ling said coldly, "You guys go out, I don't want to see you, wait until I come back from the hospital to talk."
"Go to the hospital? You seem to be fine. Do you have to make a scene and make everyone think it's serious? I didn't mean it."
"Get out." Ji Ling cursed, and then threw the cup on the kang over.
Xu Yujia dodged and the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Ji Ling, what are you doing?" Xu Yujia looked back confidently.
Ji Ke pulled her and said, "Yujia, please say less."
At this time, Ji Pingshun rushed in from outside, "What's wrong?"
Seeing the broken cup on the ground, and then seeing Ji Ling's red face, and then looking at Xu Yujia's arrogant face, he rushed over directly, "Shame on you, you even bullied me at home, didn't you?"
"She was the one causing the trouble, why did you say I was bullying her?"
"You dare to hit me?"
"Ji Pingshun, you bastard."
The room was filled with Xu Yujia's cursing. When Ji Jianhua walked in with a group of people, this was the scene they saw. Pearls were scattered all over the floor, and there were broken glass.
Ji Ling's face was pale, and one could see the rise and fall of her chest.
"Stop." Ji Jianhua yelled, and stepped forward to pull the two men apart.
The two noticed that the adults had returned. Xu Yujia felt guilty, but Ji Pingshun felt that he had found a place to reason, so he told her everything that had just happened. Half of his face was still bleeding, and he was looking at the guilty Xu Yujia, wondering what else he didn't understand.
In the crowd, a figure strode up to Ji Ling. It was Zhu Weidong. After he left, the Zhu family still had some wine that had not been delivered to the guesthouse. So when he was delivering the wine, he heard that there was a quarrel at home, so he directly asked Zhu Yaowu to drive everyone over.
He bent down, picked up Ji Ling, and walked out with big strides.
"Put on your coat." Ji Yong looked at him, picked up his coat and chased after him.
"Mom, don't blame me. It was Ji Pingshun who bullied me. I didn't think too much about it at the time."
With a snap.
Xu Hongmei slapped her daughter in the face, her face flushed with anger, "You've made it big. Don't you know what day it is today? So many people are fine, why are you the only one who has so much trouble? If your cousin is fine, it's fine. If not, I'll skin you alive."
"You still dare to cry?"
Xu Yujia bit her lip to stifle her crying.
"Dad, please sit down first." Xu Fang saw her father's unhappy expression and advised him softly.
Some of the pearls on the ground were crushed, which was a pity to see.
As soon as Mr. Xu reminded them, everyone present, except Xu Yujia, squatted down to pick up the pearls.
The room was quiet. After all the pearls were put on the kang, no one spoke except for some small noises.
Xu Hongmei's eyes were red and she stood aside wiping her tears. She was a teacher and disciplined children every day, but she raised her daughter like this. She didn't understand what she had done wrong that caused her child to go astray.
The door was pushed open, and Ji Yong walked in from outside. He looked unhappy. He glanced around the room before walking up to Father Xu and said, "Dad, Wei Zhu and the others have taken Xiao Ling to the hospital. I'll take you back to the guesthouse to rest first."
"Let's finish the work first." Father Xu looked into the crowd and found that two people were missing. He then said, "Go and call your father back."
Just after picking up the pearls, Old Man Ji called Ji Pingshun out. Through the window, one could see the grandfather and grandson standing in the atom, one scolding while the other listening with his head down.
Ji Yong responded, but Ji Xin had already gone out and called out, and then the grandparents and grandchildren came into the house.
Old man Ji was sitting on the kang, and Xu's mother was sitting next to her husband. Only Old Mrs. Ji was in the guesthouse and did not come over.
"Tell me, what happened?" asked Father Xu.
Naturally, this question was directed at Ji Pingshun and Xu Yujia, and naturally also included Ji Ke who was present. Ji Ping'an did not come back, so he must have gone to the hospital.
Xu Yujia sobbed softly at first, then became louder and louder towards the end, but no one comforted her.
Ji Pingshun stood up, with half of his face scratched, and told the story, "Just now in the room, Xu Yujia kept saying that Ji Ling was faking her stomachache and deliberately made a big deal out of it. Ji Ling was so angry that she smashed the cup, and then Xu Yujia and I started arguing again, and she rushed up to hit me, and then you came in."
Li Songlan was furious when she saw her son's half face was scratched, but she was smart and knew she had to endure it. After Xu Hongmei came into the room, she slapped her daughter directly. She kept grabbing her daughter, as if she was ignorant and making a fuss on a day like this.
Hearing what her son said, Li Songlan secretly cheered, glanced at Xu Yujia, and said sarcastically, "What a sin! Xiaoling did nothing wrong, but she was implicated in this. She is damaged and injured. I don't know how the baby in her belly is doing. Tomorrow is the day she will get married. Don't disturb the fetus."
The damaged part was naturally the pearl necklace placed on the kang.
These things are passed down from generations, and you can't buy them just by having money. Each pearl is as big as a thumb, and some have been crushed. It's heartbreaking to look at them.
Father Xu looked at his granddaughter and said, "Yujia, you don't have anything to say to defend yourself, right?"
"I didn't mean it. I've already explained it to you. Why don't you believe me? I was just scared, so I told Ji Ling not to pretend. I didn't mean anything else."
At this point, he still didn't know where he was wrong. Father Xu closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I know the whole story. It happened at your uncle's house today. I won't say more to you, but you have to compensate for the damage."
"Dad, I have no objection to you compensating me, but where can I buy this pearl necklace?" Xu Hongmei did not dare to hide anything in her attitude.
"I don't know where to buy it, but I have to buy it. I have to buy the expensive and good ones." Father Xu stood up and called Ji Yong out to talk, leaving everyone in the room staring blankly.
Old man Ji stood up and walked out, and Ji Xin called his wife and son to follow him.
The Ji family left first, leaving Xu Wangting's family and Ji Ke in the house.
