Ji Jianhua was obviously worried, and gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

Ji Ling thought about it, opened the small notebook she had just brought with her, dialed the phone number on it, and the call was picked up soon.

"Mom, it's me."

Kong Siya said, "Your father and I are still calculating the time, thinking that you should be home soon. Did everything go well on the way? Did you feel uncomfortable? Do you have enough clothes to wear when you go back?"

"My mother's friend brought me some thick clothes. I was very warm and didn't feel cold when I got home."

"That's good." Kong Siya smiled. "After you got in the car, your father told me and I scolded him. You're pregnant now, and I'm afraid your body will suffer if I keep tossing you around."

"Dad arranged it very well. I didn't feel tired on the way back. I took the sleeper berth." Ji Ling leaned on the counter, "Mom, don't blame Dad."

"Okay, don't blame him." Kong Siya said, "When you go back, have a good New Year. Tell me in advance when you come back so that your father can buy you a ticket."

"Got it. Please take good care of my grandparents for me."

"Okay, grandpa and grandma are right here, grandma wants to talk to you."

After Kong Siya finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu's voice soon came from the phone, "Xiaoling, grandma is worried about you. Have you lost weight these days?"

"No, I gained weight. When I got home just now, I ate three big bowls of rice. I don't know what happened to me these days, I can eat a lot. I feel like I can eat a whole bowl of rice."

"If you can eat well, it means the baby in your belly needs nutrition. Eat whatever you want. Our family is not poor."

Ji Ling smiled, "Okay, but if I get fat by then, grandma must not like me."

"No, you're usually too thin, so I wanted you to eat more. It's a blessing to be fat." Mrs. Zhu smiled. Seeing her husband staring at her and nodding, she asked, "Did you feel wronged during those days in the southwest? Did anyone from Wei Zhu's unit visit you?"

Ji Ling said, "Grandma, wait a moment. I'll move a chair over and sit down and talk to you slowly."

"Okay, okay, no hurry, slow down, don't fall."

There was no echo on the phone. Mrs. Zhu looked at the family sitting around her and couldn't help laughing. "It's not a meeting. Everyone, relax."

Zhu Yaowu said, "Isn't this what I've been looking forward to for three days? Finally there's news."

What his father said and what he did were completely different. They only realized it after he sent the man on the train.

He actually sent his elder brother to the southwest and directly undermined his elder brother, even though he is his own son.

Zhu Weiyue kicked Zhu Weiming's foot, "Our family is really a matriarchal society."

He was about to say something, but Zhu Chuang coughed lightly in warning, and then he shut up.

At this time, the phone rang again and Mrs. Zhu also picked up the phone.

Ji Ling told the story of how she discovered that there were suddenly more wild flowers in the room, and by chance she found out that they were not sent by the hotel owner. She also told the story of how she found out about Chang Ya and how she found out that she might be misunderstood and hurt Chi Fangping's child.

Only Old Lady Zhu could hear the phone call. The Zhu family only saw Old Lady Zhu open her mouth in surprise for a while, then widen her eyes, and occasionally say "ouch". The people around her rubbed their feet in anxiety, but they couldn't ask immediately and could only bear it.

".Grandma, that's basically it." Ji Ling twirled the telephone cord wrapped around her finger, "Hey, I didn't even know that I was misunderstood and indirectly caused the death of Accountant Chi's daughter."

"Is it a misunderstanding that can be explained away? Or is it that our Xiaoling is smart and didn't fall for their trick? You've suffered so much injustice. Grandma will help you out and go find the Chang family." Old Mrs. Zhu was rarely angry. "How can there be such a bad person?"

"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry. It's New Year's Day, don't let those people make us unhappy."

Ji Ling agreed with a smile, and then hung up the phone as it was getting late.

As soon as the phone call was hung up, everyone in the Zhu family immediately urged Old Lady Zhu to tell them what happened and wanted to hear the whole story.

The four brothers of the Zhu family rubbed their fists and gritted their teeth, wishing they could rush to the southwest right away to settle the score with Chang Ya.

Kong Siya shook her head. "I have watched Chang Ya grow up. She is a good child, but she is too thoughtful."

"When they met before, she said she didn't like Weidong. Now that Weidong is married, she is secretly doing something. I don't understand the young people nowadays."

Zhu's father added, "Food tastes better when you rush to eat it."

This is simple, but it makes a lot of sense.

Zhu Chuang, who had been silent the whole time, asked Old Lady Zhu, "Mom, did Xiao Ji mention Weidong?"

Old Mrs. Zhu was stunned and looked at her son for a long time without him understanding what he meant. The four Zhu brothers, who were quick to react, looked at each other, their eyes seemed to say that their father was really good and had asked the key question.

"It seems not." Mrs. Zhu thought about it carefully and was sure that she was not mistaken.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the Zhu family smiled meaningfully.

Father Zhu coughed lightly, and everyone immediately stopped smiling and sat down properly.

Father Zhu took the opportunity to teach his four grandsons, "You have all seen our family traditions. Other families treat their daughters-in-law as outsiders, but we don't have that. You are outsiders after you marry a daughter-in-law. So you have to know what to do after marriage. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Several of them agreed obediently, secretly exchanging glances, and feeling worried for their eldest brother.

North County.

After Ji Ling hung up the phone, she turned around and saw her father standing at the back door. She stood up and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Call your mother-in-law?"

"Well, let my family know I'm safe. Grandma and the others have been waiting for my call. If I had known, I would have called first before eating."

Ji Yong was happy to hear that his daughter was being treated well by her husband's family. "Good things are mutual. If your husband's family is sincere to you, you should also be sincere to them."

"Don't worry, I won't let you worry." Ji Ling walked over, took her father's arm and walked towards the backyard. She didn't know how much her father had heard during the conversation, but since her father didn't ask, she wouldn't bring it up on her own initiative.

At night, Ji Ling lay in the room prepared for her at home. The kang was next to the window. Through the glass, she could see heavy snow falling. The kang was warm under her, and Ji Ling soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the southwest, Zhu Weidong calculated the date and took Xiao Song's truck the next day to the county and waited directly at the county government.

He came here every day in the past few days. The old man guarding the gate recognized him and ignored him at first. But when he turned around, he realized that he was walking in the wrong direction and immediately chased after him.

"Hey, comrade, you've gone the wrong way." The old man stopped Zhu Weidong, "Are you waiting for a call? Go west, not north."

"Thank you." Zhu Weidong thanked him, turned around and walked west, but was stopped after taking only two steps.

"Comrade, are you worried about something? That's south, not west." The old man glanced at him and said, "Let me take you there."
