She was still thinking about what Liu Zilii said, and Xu Fang helped her pay back the money.
To be honest, Ji Ling is a soft-hearted person. She can't stand others being nice to her. If others give to her once, she would like to give to them for her whole life.
But the relationship between Xu Fang and the original owner's mother and daughter had obviously reached the point where they were incompatible, and Ji Ling was a little confused.
Will she fight back or not if we have a quarrel next time? It's really a headache.
"What does Liu Zili want from you?"
Ji Ling stopped and found that she had arrived at her doorstep.
Xu Fang's tone was indifferent, but her eyes were cold.
"He came to apologize and told me that you had paid back the money." Ji Ling said.
"This money is considered a loan from you. You should start paying me back with your first month's salary after you start working, and you will pay it back in full." Xu Fang's tone was calm, but distant. "Ji Ling, girls should love themselves. Young faces will soon age. If you want others to respect you, you must love yourself first."
Ji Ling thought for a moment, then took out the five hundred yuan she got in the morning and handed it over, "Here's one hundred yuan, I'll pay you back first."
Xu Fang: …
Xu Fang looked at her, then glanced in her direction, and finally looked up at her face.
Ji Ling: ...Is there something wrong?
"Where did you get this money? Who did you borrow it from? Ji Ling, are you going to drive me and your father to death? You have no shame, but we still have some dignity. We still want to live in Bei County."
Ji Ling was afraid that she would continue and say something even more unpleasant, so she interrupted her and said, "I earned this money myself, and it came from a legitimate source."
Ji Ling no longer felt wronged when Xu Fang pointed at and scolded her for what the original owner had done. Since she had occupied someone else's body, she had to accept everything.
Including her——debt!!
"Is it from a legitimate source? Where can you get a hundred dollars? More than a hundred dollars, right? Take out all the money in your pocket. I saw Zheng Shi coming back, did you ask him for money?"
Ji Ling reminded her, "Mom, keep your voice down. We are standing outside the yard talking."
Xu Fang felt like her neck was being pinched, and the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Come in with me."
The mother and daughter went into the yard and then into the house.
Xu Fang started to scold Ji Ling, saying how Ji Ling was disobedient and skipped classes to go to the roller skating rink with boys, and how she sneaked into the cinema at night without a ticket and was caught and sent home. Ji Ling was overwhelmed by hearing all these things.
It’s not surprising that the original owner could do these things after encountering Zheng Shi and Qian Xiangqian.
"Are you cursing at me in your heart?"
Ji Ling looked up when she was called, "No, I think I'm pretty tough."
Xu Fang: "Ji Ling, let me tell you, if you keep throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground and slapping yourself like before, it will be useless. Believe it or not, as soon as you fall to the ground, I will slap you first."
Ji Ling: .!! Original owner, you have aroused my interest!!
"Speak up, do you still want to play that trick and make the neighbors laugh at you?"
Ji Ling expressed despair and felt wronged, "I really didn't mean to do that."
"You still don't admit it?"
"How about I lie down on the ground and cooperate with you?"
Xu Fang's face turned black.
Ji Ling was helpless. "I said I didn't have that thought, but you didn't believe me. I wanted to lie down, but you used your eyes to kill me. What do you want me to do?"
The baby is really weak.
Ji Ke was standing at the door. She followed the two people into the house. She didn't have a chance to interrupt until she saw them start arguing. Seeing this opportunity, she hurried into the house and pulled Xu Fang with her.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight? I didn't eat lunch and I'm so hungry now."
"Oh, Mom had something to do at noon and didn't come back. I'm sorry. Mom will cook for you now." Xu Fang rubbed her little daughter's face distressedly and immediately got up and went to the outer room.
Or between the two daughters.
"Sister, don't be angry. Mom has a bad temper. You should say a few soft words to comfort her in the future." Ji Ke comforted Ji Ling in a low voice, secretly glancing at her from time to time while speaking. "I really didn't know that mom would hear it that day. If she had heard it, I wouldn't have said it."
Ji Ling smiled, "Well, I'm not angry."
Think about it with a broad mind. Which child has not been yelled at by his mother? A few scoldings won't hurt you.
Ji Ling didn't care about these, but the pity and compassion in Ji Ke's eyes made her feel uncomfortable. It was like two children competing for their mother's love, and the one who didn't get it was jealous.
Ji Ling suddenly understood why the relationship between the original owner and Xu Fang was so strained.
The original owner was not wrong.
Ji Ke is not wrong.
Xu Fang was not wrong either.
What is wrong is this family environment and relationship.
Perhaps she was speaking up for the original owner, so Ji Ling smiled and said, "Xiao Ke, you don't have to worry about that. I've been with my mom since I was a kid, and I don't mind her yelling at me. It's not like you've been living at grandpa's house and you don't come home often. It's just like entertaining guests. You see, who entertains guests by yelling?"
Ji Ke's face turned pale.
"Ji Ling, how can you talk like that?" Xu Fang was holding a spatula in her hand. If her nose could spit fire, Ji Ling felt like she had been burned to death once.
At this moment, Ji Ling felt inexplicably happy.
Hey, she felt that she was increasingly empathizing with the original owner.
"Mom, don't misunderstand. My sister didn't mean anything else. She just told me that she doesn't blame mom."
Xu Fang walked in. "What does she blame me for? Does she blame me for giving birth to her? Or does she blame me for raising her?"
Ji Ling took a step back to avoid the spatula that might come at her at any time, "You always say the same thing to me."
She pinched her throat and imitated Xu Fang's voice, saying, "Xiao Ke doesn't come back often, so I treat her as a guest. You stay at home all day, and you still want me to treat you as a guest?"
Xu Fang: Either explode in silence or die in silence.
"Bring it here."
Looking at the hand Xu Fang extended to her, Ji Ling's face was full of confusion.
"Money, one hundred dollars." Xu Fang gritted her teeth.
Ji Ling said "oh" and handed over the money.
Xu Fang stuffed the money into her pocket angrily, turned around and went to the outer room, cursing, "I'm such a bitch, why should I care about you?"
Ji Ling: Shouldn’t you tear up the money angrily, throw it on the ground and step on it?
After a small quarrel before the meal, Xu Fang also had a sour face during dinner.
In the next few days, Ji Ling went out early and came back late, and she could see Xu Fangyin's dripping face every day.
Ji Ling knew the simple formula for soap and had gone out to watch people making soap, but she couldn't buy what she needed.
After running around for a few days without any results, Ji Ling sat in the yard basking in the sun. She was wondering how those people who traveled through time and space and became rich and started businesses succeeded?
I used the remaining four hundred yuan to pay off my debts slowly, and I only had a few dollars left.
She might really have to go back to work!! Ji Yong, who had been on a business trip for more than half a month, finally returned home.
Ji Ling seemed to see a pile of RMB waving at her, and she happily went to greet them. If she had a tail, it would definitely be wagging at this moment.
Ji Yong misunderstood that his daughter was missing him and was deeply moved.
