This was Ji Ling's first time at the factory, and no one in the factory knew her. She first told the guard her identity, and then the guard sent her to the office.

The office is not big, with only one room and four desks inside. At one of the desks, two women were sitting face to face keeping accounts. After hearing Ji Ling's name, I realized that she was their other boss and his sister.

"My eldest brother is in the hospital. I think you all know that he can't come over for a while. I want to check the account."

The accountant didn't ask any more questions. He took out the account book and put it in front of Ji Ling. "Before the New Year, the Ji factory settled all the accounts and paid out all the money in the account."

Ji Ling opened the account book and took a general look. The factory's performance was very good, and the final profit after deducting the benefits for employees was still a little over 10,000 yuan. The remainder was left for circulation, and 10,000 yuan was taken away.

"Did he say what he was going to do with it?" Ji Ling asked casually, not thinking that the accountant would know.

"He said his uncle used it upside down for a few days."

Ji Ling raised her head in surprise, "My uncle used it backwards?"

The accountant was not very old, about 21 or 22 years old, with a simple and honest face. He was a little nervous when Ji Ling asked him, but he nodded anyway.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

After that, they walked around the factory again before Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu left.

After leaving the factory, Ji Ling's doubts were not resolved, but her mood became even heavier.

Zhu Yaowu accompanied her throughout the whole journey without saying a word. Only after they left the factory did he ask, "Are you still going to your grandma's house?"

Ji Ling shook her head, "Let's find a place to eat first."

I've been traveling so fast these days that I have no appetite on the train.

When she got married, Xu Yujia from her uncle's family caused so many troubles. Her eldest brother protected her the most, so how could she give the money to her uncle? What was the inside story? She could either wait for her eldest brother to wake up and ask him in person, or go find her uncle.

When they found a restaurant and sat down, Zhu Yaowu said, "The money was lent by your eldest brother. In my opinion, you should not ask your uncle. It is embarrassing to borrow money from an elder. If you ask again, you will offend him. Anyway, the money is not available."

Ji Ling looked at him and said, "I just can't understand why my eldest brother lent him the money. Besides, grandma also said last night that my uncle took all the money from home and said he needed it urgently."

Zhu Yaowu laughed and said, "Maybe he has also borrowed your mom and dad's money."

After saying that, he was stunned.

Ji Ling was also stunned, "That should be the case, otherwise how could my parents not have money to pay for my eldest brother's medical expenses?"

Zhu Yaowu also became interested at this time. "More than 10,000 yuan is not a small amount. Your uncle's family is well-off. Why did he borrow so much money? It is reasonable for him to know that your eldest brother is sick. Your parents must have asked him for money, but they didn't. Can your uncle pay back such a large amount of money?"

"Let's talk about it when we go to the hospital this afternoon." The dishes came, Ji Ling picked up the chopsticks, and just after taking a bite, her teeth started to hurt again. She took a breath and put down the chopsticks unhappily, "Didn't they say they would give me the money in a few days? I'll ask if they can give it to me before I go back."

Zhu Yaowu smiled and said, "I think it's OK."

This is the only way to do it, otherwise you will always be controlled.

Ji Yong said, "It should be that the money has not been returned yet, otherwise given Jianhua's current condition, the money would have been delivered long ago. Let's wait a little longer."

Xu Fang looked at her husband, hesitating to speak. Ji Yong was confused, "Brother, did you say something else?"

"No." Xu Fang replied, looked at her son on the bed, and sighed secretly.

His wife looked worried, but Ji Yong thought she was just worried about their son. Thinking of his daughter who had rushed back, he said, "This has nothing to do with Xiaoling. He quit his job to work in the factory. He was young and frivolous and didn't handle it well because the factory was targeted for its good performance. Doing business is not just about making money. You have to pay attention to all aspects. This incident is also a bad thing. Let him remember it. In the future, as the factory grows bigger, there will be more things he can't imagine."

Xu Fang looked at her husband unhappily, "Don't worry, I've learned my lesson from Jianhua's selling of his job last time. Jianhua isn't a kid, and the factory has been open for almost a year. How could I drag Xiaoling into his own affairs?"

"That's the right way to think about it. Xiaoling came back home with a big belly, and she paid for the medical expenses without hesitation. She has done well in every aspect for the child." Ji Yong wanted to bring up the New Year, but then he thought that it was all in the past, and bringing up these things now would only make the couple unhappy.

At noon, Ji Jianhua woke up. This time he looked much more energetic and could speak. Ji Yong was happy and told him about Ji Ling's return.

"Your sister went to your grandma's house and will be here this afternoon. I know you are worried about her safety. Her brother-in-law came with her. I also told her that you are fine here. I asked her to book a ticket to go back in the next few days. She will also start school there."

"Dad knows what you're worried about. Don't worry, take good care of yourself. I'm keeping an eye on the factory and there won't be any delays in production."

Ji Jianhua nodded and twitched the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that what his father said was what he was worried about.

Perhaps in order to wait to see his sister, Ji Jianhua stayed awake the whole time, mostly listening to Ji Yong and Xu Fang talking to him.

"Your mother and I will be here during the day these days, and she is your girlfriend at night. She is a good girl, and when you get better, the two families' parents will meet. You are not children anymore, so you should get married early, so that you two can be busy together in the future and you can take care of each other." When Xu Fang said this, a rare smile appeared on her face.

Speaking of the factory, Ji Yong finally remembered to ask, "This incident happened suddenly. The money from home was given to your uncle and has not been returned yet. Your accountant said that you took the money from your factory before the New Year. You still owe a lot of money for hospitalization this time. Your sister came back to make up for it. You can't let your sister take this money. You have to give her the money when she leaves this time. Did you save the money?"

Ji Jianhua looked at his father.

Xu Fang said, "The child is sick, why tell him this? It will make him angry. Okay, I'll find a way to get the money. Besides, Xiaoling is not in a hurry to use the money, so it's okay to give it to her a few days later."

Ji Jianhua pursed his lips and looked at his mother.

Xu Fang didn't dare to look at her son. Ji Yong was about to speak when he saw the door of the ward was pushed open and Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu walked in.

"Brother, are you awake?" Ji Ling looked into Ji Jianhua's eyes and walked to the bedside with a smile, "When did you wake up?"

Ji Jianhua curled his lips and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble."

"You should take good care of yourself. How can I be so tired if I take the train or the sleeper?" Ji Linghun didn't care.

"Jianhua, Xiaoling, you've seen it too. You've been holding on for so long, you should also take a nap." Xu Fang advised.

Ji Ling didn't look at Xu Fang above her head, she just asked Ji Jianhua, "Brother, the accountant said you lent your uncle 10,000 yuan?"
