Chapter 202: Buck-passing



Today was the first time in her life that she lost face.

Normally in the city, everyone who saw her would call her Teacher Xu, and because she married into the Xu family, people respected her even more.

But now look, everything was destroyed just because of my daughter's willfulness.

Xu Hongmei's eyes were red, and it was the first time she cried in front of everyone.

"Okay, let's just put up with it for two days. After the wedding tomorrow, we'll go back to the city." Xu Wangning persuaded his wife.

Xu Hongmei said angrily, "Can you pretend that you have never embarrassed yourself when you return to the city?"

"So what do you say we should do now? She's missing, and the incident has happened. Even if we beat her to death now, it won't help." Xu Wangting felt even more ashamed, but he couldn't get angry at the child, so he directed his anger at his wife. "You should take good care of her in the future. How old is she? Children of poor families would have been married long ago at her age. She's still acting like a child now. What a shame."

"You always blame me when something goes wrong. Why don't you care about it normally?"

Xu Wangting and his wife couldn't figure out who was right or wrong in the argument, so they simply stopped talking.

They quarreled in front of Xu's mother, who never opened her mouth from beginning to end, and didn't even raise her eyelids. She knew very well what kind of person her own child was, and it was only a matter of time before he would be embarrassed.

It’s just that her daughter-in-law has always been protective of her and thinks her own educational method is correct, so she is too lazy to argue.

After what happened today, perhaps we will learn our lesson.

She picked up the scattered pearls on the kang and said, "These look like sea pearls. Freshwater pearls can't be this bright. When we get back, ask your dad to ask his friends how much a sea pearl this big costs. Count each one on the ground and buy all of them."

"Mom, I'd better ask my friend for help." Xu Wangting was embarrassed. "My friend lives by the sea. Maybe he can think of a solution."

But they are all this big, so it might be hard to find them.

"Okay, then you go and get it. If you can't find it, ask your dad to ask his friends." Xu's mother put down the pearl, and Xu Fang also came in from outside.

Just now, Xu's father called Ji Yong to go out, and Xu Fang followed him out. From a distance, she saw that her husband was not too excited, so she turned back. When she entered the house, she saw that only her family members were there, so she walked over and sat down on the kang.

"Xiao Ke, why didn't you give some advice when something happened?"

Before Ji Ke could say anything, her eyes turned red. "Mom, I advised you."

"You just advise like that and anyone who hears it will get angry. Don't you know you should advise your cousin?" Just now, when Ji Pingshun was narrating what happened, he also repeated what Ji Ke said. However, everyone's eyes were on Xu Yujia at that time, and no one noticed whether what Ji Ke said was right or not.

"I was afraid that my third brother would beat Yujia, and he's a boy." Ji Ke didn't think he did anything wrong. He was scolded for no reason, and he felt even more wronged. "When we were having dinner, Yujia just smiled at me, and my second and third brothers started to blame me. There were so many relatives there, and I didn't want to cause trouble, so I didn't argue with them. Yujia had the same idea as me, so I asked him after I got home, but I didn't expect my third brother to hit me."

"Is he going to take action? Did he take action first?" Xu Fang was really angry, but more disappointed.

The youngest daughter is the smartest and most sensible. What kind of occasion is this today? Why doesn’t she just keep the matter under wraps?

That piece of advice is no different from stirring up trouble.

"I think what Xu Fang said is right. You two still don't think you are wrong, right?" Mother Xu glanced at the two children. "There are not many girls in the family, and you two grew up together. You also enjoy the best things in the family. Look at you now, you are spoiled."

When Xu's mother spoke, no one in the room dared to speak.

But Xu's mother also knew that scolding was useless, so she turned around and said to Xu Fang, "If the Zhu family knew about what happened today, it would be embarrassing. Did Jianhua tell him and Weidong not to let more people know about this?"

"When they left, I pulled Jianhua aside and told him something, but you know that kid has a stubborn temper. He was afraid that if I told him that, he would still think I was protecting Yujia."

Xu's mother sighed, "What a sin! How can there be no peace in such a good life?"

Who dares to respond? If you respond at this time, you will be scolded.

In the yard, Xu's father was also trying to persuade his son-in-law, "It's my fault for not educating my child well. Xiaoling was wronged because of what happened today. Even if the Zhu family knew about it, they wouldn't say anything to us. They are people of status, but this was indeed a shame. We should try to make it up to Xiaoling in the future."

"You should also persuade Xiaoling and tell her that she will not suffer in vain. When you come back, ask Yujia to apologize to her."

"Dad, I get it. Don't get angry. No one wants this to happen." Ji Yong couldn't be ignorant. No matter how unhappy he was, he didn't confront his father-in-law.

Xu Yujia has looked down on their family since childhood. Once when she was a child, she said in public that their whole family were beggars. Ji Yong didn't care, but he understood how a child could say such things. He must have heard what the adults said.

After growing up, he stopped saying these things, but he targeted Ji Ling everywhere, either laughing at her or ridiculing her in public. He had no respect at all, otherwise he would not have caused trouble on such a happy day as a wedding.

Even now I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Father Xu knew that it was useless to say more at this time. His granddaughter did not take the Ji family seriously, otherwise why would she cause trouble again and again.

Ji Yong also said that he wanted to go to the hospital, so he asked Xu's father and others to go to the guesthouse first. After everything was arranged, Ji Ling and his group came back.

When the person left, he was carried away by Zhu Weidong, and when he came back, he was also carried back by Zhu Weidong. However, after Zhu Weidong put the person down, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Ever since they got married in September, Zhu Weidong has been respectful to everyone in the Ji family. He is polite even to the neighbors. This is the first time he has shown such an arrogant attitude.

Xu Fang felt embarrassed and her expression changed immediately. "What's his attitude?"

"Okay, please say less." Ji Yong looked at his son.

Ji Jianhua said, "On the way to the hospital with Xiaoling, my brother-in-law didn't say a word. After the examination, he said that the fetus was a little bit disturbed and asked us to take good care of it. My brother-in-law's face looked even worse. He didn't say a word from beginning to end. He must be angry, right?"

What do you mean by should? This is what makes you angry.

Ji Ling's face also turned pale. She had already taken the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by the hospital once. Now her stomach only ached slightly, but it still made her scared.
