Kong Siya ignored it. She had five sons in the family. If she scolded and controlled each of them, she would be angry to death first.

Zhu Chuang simply left the issue of his son's education to his father without saying a word.

Finally, the topic was changed after Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu lectured and scolded each other.

After dinner in the evening, Ji Ling, who had slept too much during the day, sat in the living room with her grandmother and mother-in-law and talked. Zhu Weidong could not delay any longer, so Zhu Yaowu and others sent him to the station to buy a ticket for that evening.

The young couple had been living apart for half a year after their marriage. The Zhu family felt sorry for Ji Ling and could only make up for it in every way possible.

For the next week, Ji Ling's life was just eating, sleeping, and waking up to eat. She really treated herself like a pig. After the scabs on her skin fell off, she took a nice bath. After getting her grandmother's consent, she took Zhu Yaowu and others back to her home to visit.

Wang Sanmei spent the New Year here alone, but she did not go back to Ji Ling's place. In the past six months, she had moved all her things to the store. She did not have to go back and forth between the two places, and she also saved time to review her lessons.

Ji Ling went home, tidied up the house, and then went to the store.

The store did not close during the Chinese New Year, perhaps because all other places were closed and only this store was open. Many people came to shop and more things were sold than usual. When Ji Ling came over, Wang Sanmei was collecting money.

Seeing Ji Ling coming, Kong was the only one who said hello.

Seeing how busy she was, Ji Ling also started to greet customers. They waited until around 2:00 p.m. when everyone went back to eat and there was no one in the restaurant. Only then did the two of them have time to talk.

"If one person can't handle it, hire someone else." Ji Ling saw sweat on her forehead. "Besides, the college entrance examination is only a few months away. This distraction will delay your review."

"It won't delay us. It's just that there are too many people these days, so only our store is open. It will be fine if all stores are open after the 15th." Wang Sanmei sorted out the accounts with a smile. "When will you be back?"

"I've been back for a few days." Ji Ling told her about the family's affairs. "I originally wanted to stay until the start of school, but I ended up coming back early."

Wang Sanmei opened her mouth and finally sighed, "Think about it more open-mindedly. You gave birth to us and raised us. No matter how unfair it is, you can't really deny it. But fortunately, you are married now. You don't have to stay at your parents' house all the time. You don't spend much time with them, and you don't have to watch those annoying things."

"Okay, now it's becoming clearer."

Wang Sanmei's eyes narrowed as she smiled. "My life is much more comfortable now than when I was at home. I open the shop during the day and face all kinds of customers, which helps me improve my communication skills. I review at night. I live a fulfilling and self-centered life every day. I like this kind of life very much."

Ji Ling was really envious after hearing this, "I wanted to be like you at first, but I made a mistake and ended up getting married."

She patted her belly again and said, "There's another one in my belly now."

"You don't even know how many people envy you. Besides, it won't hinder you from getting married and having children." Wang Sanmei said with a smile, "You should be content with what you have. I understand this now."

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Yaowu and the others also came back. They had sent Ji Ling here before, and then went out to play. They said they would pick her up before going home.

Ji Ling didn't want to go back, but after thinking about it, she decided to go back. She made an appointment with Wang Sanmei to go back home after the 15th and then come to see her.

Wang Sanmei watched them leave and returned to the store with a smile on her face.

The Zhu brothers returned to the compound but were stopped.

It’s Kang Xiaohua.

Ji Ling had been stopped by him to talk when she had just arrived at the compound. Now when she saw him stop the car again, the first thing she did was to go to see Zhu Weiyue.

Zhu Weiyue said, "I haven't paid attention to this psychopath for a long time."

Ji Ling smiled shrunkenly. When they got out of the car, they saw Kang Xiaohua coming towards her. "Ji Ling, can you talk to me for a few words?"

"I want to talk to you about Chi Fangping."

"Accountant Chi, do you have anything to tell me?" Ji Ling didn't move.

Then he was stabbed from behind by Zhu Yaowu, "He likes Chi Fangping, and Chi Fangping likes my elder brother. Maybe that's why he always targets my elder brother."

Ji Ling: Brother, it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs, but you talk to them in person, and you do it in such a loud voice. You really think the other person is an idiot.

Kang Xiaohua's face sank in an instant. He glanced at Zhu Yaowu indifferently. Zhu Yaowu raised his chin and glared back, "Hey, admirer, are you trying to help the woman you like? But unfortunately today, the trouble you want to cause has four flower protectors."

Phew! Ji Ling didn't want to laugh but couldn't help it because Kang Xiaohua's face was already sour as to be uglier, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Zhu Yaowu, I have something important to discuss with Ji Ling. I won't argue with you today." Kang Xiaohua said he didn't care, but in the end he couldn't help but say, "I can't bite back if a dog bites me."

"Fuck, now that you mention it, I really want to grit my teeth." Zhu Yaowu rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.

He swung his arm and punched Kang Xiaohua in the face.

Kang Xiaohua had also practiced this, and he dodged flexibly and punched back.

The two of them soon started to fight.

Zhu Weiming pulled Ji Ling around them and walked forward, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you back first."

Ji Ling: "Fighting is bad, right?"

"It's okay, just stretch your muscles."

Ji Ling: When Zhu Weiming sent her to the door of her house, she turned around and looked over there. The four men had already formed a circle and with three men from the Zhu family taking action, Kang Xiaohua was naturally knocked to the ground and beaten.

Ji Ling couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Looking at Zhu Weiming, she said, "Don't hit him in the face."

Zhu Weiming smiled and said, "I know."

Ji Ling: It’s over, she has also become a bad person.

After entering the house, Ji Ling heard her grandmother asking about Zhu Yaowu and the other two. She swallowed and said, "They are exercising with Kang Xiaohua in the yard."

Mrs. Zhu was not surprised. "Then go wash your hands first. They will be back soon. We will have dinner when they come back."

Seeing her grandmother's indifferent expression, Ji Ling thought that she needed to broaden her horizons.

When she changed her clothes and came downstairs, Zhu Yaowu and the other three had indeed returned. They had washed their hands and were sitting in the living room, talking to Old Mrs. Zhu.

"He said I was a dog, how could I not bite him?" The speaker was Zhu Yaowu, who was leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed. "It's New Year's Day, but he had to let a dog bite him. I don't know what kind of hobby he has."

Zhu Weiyue laughed and said, "No wonder he can't even chase after a divorced woman. Who would be interested in him with such a hobby?"
