As soon as Ji Ling came in and said a few words to Ji Jianhua, Xu Fang was standing by to persuade Ji Jianhua to take a rest. Ji Yong was already looking at his wife unhappily, but when he heard what his daughter said, he almost jumped up on the spot.

"What? You lent that money to your uncle?" Ji Yong looked at his son.

Ji Jianhua nodded, "That's what I was going to say just now."

Then he looked at Xu Fang, "Mom, you should speak."

Ji Yong was stunned. He looked at his wife with his eyes wide open. “You knew?”

Ji Ling also looked at Xu Fang. She knew that Ji Jianhua would never lend his uncle ten thousand yuan. This was the reason.

Being stared at by everyone, Xu Fang could only explain, "My eldest brother is in a hurry, and this is the first time he has come to me for help in these years. He said he would only be in a state for a few days, and I thought it would not affect Jianhua's business, so I agreed."

"We also gave him two thousand, which adds up to twelve thousand. My mother-in-law also said this morning that she gave all the money in the house to my eldest brother. How much money does it add up? Have you calculated it?" Ji Yong was angry. He knew that it was useless to quarrel with his wife at this time. He took a few deep breaths and asked in a low voice, "Did my eldest brother say why he gave so much money?"

Xu Fang shook her head. "He said this matter cannot be disclosed to anyone, so he will give me the money in a few days."

It's such a large sum of money that you lend out, and you don't know what the other party is going to do with it.

Ji Yong didn't know what to say to his wife, "Well, it's been almost a month since then, and it's time to get the money back. Go call Big Brother."

"I know that we gave our family's money to my eldest brother. You told me that he never asked us for help over the years, and Xiaoke has been taken care of by my mother-in-law. I gave him the money out of gratitude and I'm not in a hurry for him to pay it back. But you didn't tell me that you also took 10,000 yuan from Jianhua. If I had known that Jianhua had no money in the hospital now, I wouldn't have been so shameless as to borrow money from him. I should have gone directly to my eldest brother." Ji Yong's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

"Where did you borrow it? Jianhua has been in danger for the past few days. The doctor said he was fine yesterday. It's too late now and you said you would go out to borrow it today. But you haven't borrowed it yet, right?" Facing her husband's accusation, Xu Fang retorted, "If big brother didn't have an emergency, would he ask us? I saw that he was so anxious that his mouth was blistered, and he didn't dare to tell my parents. I just wanted to repay him. Xiaoke has grown up with my parents all these years. Big brother and his wife have no objection and have always taken good care of Xiaoke. I can't say no."

"You couldn't say it, so you kept it a secret from me and went to Jianhua to get money?" Ji Yong waved his hand, "I won't argue with you. I'll go get money from my eldest brother now. He can use it as long as we need it. Jianhua's money is not enough. I've never heard of my brother's family lending out all the money when he was hospitalized and spending the money for his daughter's marriage."

Ji Yong walked fast, and Xu Fang couldn't stop him, so she could only chase after him.

The ward was finally quiet. Ji Ling smiled and said to Ji Jianhua, "Brother, don't blame me. Uncle has emptied all the money of our three families. I'm afraid he has nothing left too. I don't know what he did with such a large sum of money, but if the money is gone, our family will be blamed. And does Uncle have the ability to pay it back?"

Ji Jianhua felt guilty, "Xiaoling, Mom came to me and said she would use the money for the family and would only spend it for a few days. She also said she didn't tell Dad. It was only after I gave the money to Mom that she told me the truth."

"Brother, what you did was wrong. The money in the factory is not yours alone. First of all, you should discuss this with me. Even if my parents use this money, they should discuss it with me. Business is business, and business and family cannot be mixed together. This is a big taboo. This is the first offense, so forget it. I hope there won't be a next time." Ji Ling suppressed the smile on her face and said seriously, "Our family situation is not complicated, but look at the current situation. If my uncle can't pay back the 10,000 yuan, what will you do? The factory has no working capital at all. How can the factory expand its production scale?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through enough." Ji Jianhua smiled bitterly, "I always felt that your family was holding you back before, but now I realize that I am also holding you back."

Ji Ling also stopped while she was ahead, "Well, it happened. There's no point in talking about it now. Just remember it in the future."

"Knowing that you're in trouble, my parents-in-law gave you 2,000 yuan. You keep this money. As for the medical expenses I paid for, I'll take the ticket back tomorrow. You can ask your parents to give it to me." Ji Ling was afraid that he would misunderstand. "Through this incident, we can also put pressure on them. In the future, the family will make more money. If they go around giving away money, we won't be able to keep our money."

Ji Jianhua smiled and said, "I understand."

Seeing that he looked listless, Ji Ling asked him to have a rest. Actually, Ji Ling wanted to ask him about his girlfriend, but then she thought that there was no rush and she would ask after her brother got better.

On the other side, Ji Yong had already rushed to Xu Wangting's unit. When Xu Wangting saw the two men, he knew what it was about. He immediately stood up to greet them and closed the office door.

"I just borrowed a thousand yuan. You can take it back first. I will get the rest of the money back to you in the next few days."

"Brother, we don't need money urgently. You have to give Jianhua the 10,000 yuan. That is the working capital of their factory. The factory belongs to him and Xiaoling, so Xiaoling should get half of the money." Ji Yong stated his purpose straight away.

Ji Yong has always been unhappy about what Xu Yujia did when Xiaoling got married. Now the whole family can do their best to repay the favor owed by Ji Ke, but it cannot be the eldest daughter, because they all owe her.

Xu Wangting frowned, "I'll take them all back for you in just a few days."

He turned around and took out an envelope from his office. "Here is a thousand dollars. Take it and use it first."

The tone sounded as if he was giving them alms.

Xu Fang had originally tried to stop her husband, but now she was also unhappy, "Brother, Jianhua is in the hospital and owes several thousand yuan. Even paying one thousand yuan won't solve the problem."

I was also annoyed with my eldest brother. I didn't tell my parents because I was afraid that they would get angry. But my eldest brother knew that Jianhua was in the hospital and never went to see him.

Xu Fang felt bad when she thought about this. "You said you would give us the money back in a few days. Please give us a specific time. Xiaoling is here. Jianhua is still in the hospital with her money. The Zhu family has also sent someone to follow us. We can't hide this. We can't let them laugh at us."

Xu Wangting looked at his sister, frowned, and rubbed his forehead. "Xiaofang, I'm not sure about the exact number of days. I promise that this money will not be wasted on you. Isn't it enough for big brother to promise you?"
