While the two were struggling, Ji Ling also saw clearly that the person who was pulling Wang Sanmei was Wang Ermei.
The last time Wang Ermei came to see her, Ji Ling thought about delivering a letter to Wang Sanmei, but there was no phone in the store, and Wang Sanmei didn't call home either. Ji Ling also thought that it was early today, so she would go to the store to check. Who would have thought that Wang Ermei would block someone.
As they got closer, they could hear the intermittent sounds of the two people arguing.
"Why did you do this? Can you not be so selfish? Your parents quarreled at home all day because of you. Think about what he has done for us over the years. Can you really be so cruel?"
"You don't need to take care of my affairs. If you are really filial, you won't do such a thing." Wang Sanmei had already seen Ji Ling coming over, and she also reminded Wang Ermei, "Ji Ling is coming. If you don't want to make things awkward, just leave quickly and don't come to see me in the future."
The two words Ji Ling obviously made Wang Ermei very taboo. She turned around immediately after hearing them. When she saw Ji Ling really coming over, her face changed slightly and she let go of Wang Sanmei's hand.
After being freed, Wang Sanmei strode to Ji Ling and said to Wang Ermei in a cold tone, "Go now. I won't go back home. Didn't my parents say they don't have a daughter like me? I'll remember these words. I won't beg them even if I die out there."
"Sanmei, don't be willful. Your parents only said that in anger. After they knew you were here with Ji Ling, they called me to send money. They asked you to pay back whatever you spent with Ji Ling. You see, they still care about you."
"By the way, Ermei came to see you last time and gave you money, but I haven't had time to give it to you yet." Ji Ling took out the money from her bag and handed it to Wang Sanmei. "Ermei said she knew you were here from my classmates. Maybe someone saw you when you went to school to see me last time."
Wang Sanmei did not blame Ji Ling, and she did not have time to say more at this time. She took the money and put it into Wang Ermei's hand.
"Take this money back. I won't spend a penny of my family's money. They no longer have a daughter like me."
Wang Ermei wanted to push the money back, but Wang Sanmei had already withdrawn her hand, and she didn't want to just throw the money on the ground. Wang Ermei wanted to move forward, but was glared back by Wang Sanmei.
"Don't come to see me again, and don't bother Ji Ling again. I came here to pay Ji Ling back, and I won't come to Ji Ling's place again." Wang Sanmei didn't want to say more to her, and took the things in Ji Ling's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Ji Ling nodded, without even looking at Wang Ermei, and walked towards the courtyard.
After they walked far away, Ji Ling turned the corner and saw Wang Ermei still standing there looking at them. She smiled and reminded Wang Sanmei, "She looks so pitiful standing there."
"I don't think it's pitiful, it's terrifying. She took my things away and still confidently said I was selfish. She is so shameless and doesn't even feel guilty at all, as if she has been Ermei since she was a child and it was her who got into college, as if we have never exchanged identities at all."
Ji Ling had the same idea. "She is very thoughtful. You should know it clearly. I think she is a smart person and will not make things too awkward. If you say those words in front of me today, she will not come to bother you again, at least not to my house."
Wang Sanmei was very satisfied with her current life and didn't want to talk about these unhappy things to make Ji Ling worry about her, so she mentioned the reason for coming back today, "I guessed that you guys are about to get up by now, and no one answered the phone when I called home. I thought you might have returned to the compound, so I came to give you something."
"He has gone to the southwest and will not be back for a while. I am alone at home again. You can come back and live with me if you have time. It will be lonely if you stay in the store all the time."
"I'm not lonely at all. There are many people buying things every day. I enjoy being alone after closing the store at night." Wang Sanmei smiled and talked about the store's performance in recent days. "Brother Ji said that he will come to see it in person when he can spare some time from the factory. It seems that he wants to come before the New Year."
"There's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. I don't think he can come." Ji Ling said with a smile, "I've arranged something for him to do. We have an exam at the end of the month. After the exam, you can close the store for a few days and go on a long trip with me."
"Yes, go find the spices."
Wang Sanmei said, "I have never been far away. It must be very far there, right?"
"It's a bit far, but the scenery along the way is also beautiful. It's just a bit cold now. It would be better if it were summer."
When they got home, Ji Ling saw the things Wang Sanmei brought back and couldn't help laughing. "You should study hard. There's no rush to use these things. It's not too late to do them after you finish the college entrance examination."
In the cloth bag were diapers and small clothes for the children, which were well-made with needlework and carefully sewn on the outside.
This way, the child's body will not be rubbed by the needle and thread inside after putting it on.
"You're so thoughtful." Ji Ling liked it more and more as she looked at it. She gestured with her hands, "It's so small. How did you make it?"
"I made it for my aunt's child before. I remembered what the old lady said about what to pay attention to. From now on, I will make sure your child wears everything. It's also a token of my appreciation as your aunt."
Ji Ling was not polite to her, "You said it, don't go back on your word."
"Repentance is a puppy."
The two chatted and laughed while putting away their things. Since Zhu Weidong was not living at home, Wang Sanmei stayed tonight. Ji Ling suddenly felt like eating meat, so she thought about it and decided to take Wang Sanmei out for hotpot.
Since she had pregnancy reactions, Ji Ling hardly ate meat. Today, she suddenly wanted to eat meat, and lamb.
It was such a cold day, and many people were eating hotpot. Ji Ling and Wang Sanmei went to the restaurant closest to their home. The restaurant was almost full, with only one empty table in the innermost corner.
There were indeed not many people who could go to the restaurant to eat hot pot at this time. Ji Ling was also surprised to see so many people suddenly. She took Wang Sanmei to sit down, ordered a pound of mutton and a serving of vegetables, and asked the waiter to serve the food.
"Does the beauty live nearby?" a frivolous voice sounded behind the man.
Ji Ling paused for a moment without turning back, but Wang Sanmei, who was sitting opposite her, changed her expression slightly and looked behind her with an unhappy look.
"This sesame sauce tastes very authentic." Ji Ling handed a portion of the dipping sauce to Wang Sanmei and signaled her with her eyes that she didn't need to pay any attention to it.
