The next second, Lian Qin almost jumped up, and her voice became several degrees higher, "You chased him away? What if something happened to him? Ji Ling, how could you be so cruel?"

Ji Ling said with a smile, "Aunt, what you said is not right. Just now you blamed me for taking in your Wang Sanmei, and now you blame me for driving her away. So what do you think I should do?"

"What should we do? Stay away from people like this." Zhu Yaowu snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are? I helped your child but made a mistake, and you come here to make trouble. Do you believe I will beat you?"

Lian Qin's face turned red. She didn't dare to confront Ji Ling's brother-in-law, so she picked the weak ones to bully. "Xu Fang, we have lived in the same compound for many years. You know who I am. Although I have four daughters, I love them all equally. All four children are eager to study. Sanmei ran away from home because she couldn't get into college. Her father and I were worried and angry, but there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter. The last time I found Xiaoling, I gave Sanmei living expenses. Why did Xiaoling drive her away as soon as she returned?"

Xu Fang said calmly, "Lian Qin, isn't it what you want to drive that person away? Don't argue about this anymore. It's no use making a scene in the hospital. You should go back. If you treat Sanmei well, she will contact you naturally when she gets over it."

Lian Qin was speechless for a long time.

The fact that the two daughters were switched could not be told. There was no reason for Sanmei to forgive them for the rest of her life, so the Ji family was naturally not worried.

But Lian Qin knew it in her heart.

"Aunt, my elder brother is sick, please go back." Ji Ling said coldly as she drove her away.

Lian Qin was anxious to find someone to help her. She looked around the room and found that everyone was looking at her coldly. In the end, she had to leave in disappointment.

Ji Yong had a stern face. He followed to make sure that the person had left. After closing the door, he asked Ji Ling, "Is Sanmei really gone?"

"No." Ji Ling said, "But don't worry, Sanmei won't stay with me after taking the college entrance examination this year."

"College Entrance Examination?" Ji Yong was stunned.

"Well, she has been reviewing for the past year and plans to retake the college entrance examination. If she passes, the school will provide her with a subsidy. If she spends a little, she won't have to rely on her family to finish college."

Ji Yong was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, then hide the person well when you go back this time, don't let Ermei see him."

After Lian Qin's commotion, everyone started talking about the Wang family. I heard that Wang's father had pulmonary edema, which was very serious. How well he could be treated in the end would depend on the results in the later stages.

Ji Yong also told his daughter, "Talk to Sanmei when you get back and see what she thinks."

If the person really dies, she will regret not seeing him/her for the last time, but it is up to her to decide whether to go back or not.

Ji Ling agreed, and while her elder brother was awake, she turned the topic to Luo Li, "Brother, you didn't even tell your family about your virgin girlfriend. You're too full of yourself."

Ji Jianhua said, "Luo Li said she didn't want anyone to know before it was done, so I listened to her."

Xu Fang said, "I went to his factory with your father this morning to take a look. The factory has just been built, so the equipment hasn't arrived yet, right?"

"Well, the equipment was discarded from other factories. Luo Li has to go there and learn how to repair it from the workers. It can only be shipped back after it can be operated. It should be in March."

"Doesn't he have a son?" Xu Fang was surprised that something related to machinery could be allowed to be done by his daughter.

"Her elder brother works in another place and cannot be transferred back, so the factory will be handed over to her in the future," Ji Jianhua explained.

Xu Fang said, "It's such a big factory, she is very busy as a girl, so she has less time to take care of the family."

Ji Jianhua, "Once the factory is up and running, we won't need her to keep an eye on it all the time."

Ji Yong, "Jianhua is right. Even if you have a job, you still have to go to work every day. It's more free to manage the factory yourself."

Luo Li didn't come until the afternoon, but Xu's mother came, brought food, and asked Ji Ling how to get back to the compound.

Ji Ling said she would go do some work in the morning and stay over there in the evening, and only then was Xu's mother happy.

Afterwards, Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu followed Xu's mother back to the compound to eat and stayed there directly. As soon as the three of them arrived home, the phone at home rang. When Xu's mother picked up the phone, she didn't recognize who it was at first, and then hurriedly greeted Ji Ling.

"Xiaoling, answer the phone quickly, it's Weidong calling."

Ji Ling asked, "How did he know I was here?" and walked over to answer the phone.

After Zhu Weidong went to the southwest last time, the two had no contact. Later, Ji Ling suddenly returned to her hometown. Ji Ling thought that Zhu Weidong should have called the old house today, and then called here.

After Zhu Weidong explained on the phone, it turned out to be the same as Ji Ling had guessed.

"How's Big Brother?"

"We are out of danger. Yaowu and I will take the train tomorrow. Everything is fine at home. You don't have to worry about us."

Zhu Weidong's steady and low voice came slowly, "Every time something happened at home, I wasn't with you. I'm very sorry."

"It's work-related. It's not your fault." Ji Ling told him to take care of himself. The two talked for a few more words. Knowing that Zhu Weidong was already very busy with the work, Ji Ling told him not to worry about her and that everything was fine at home. Then she hung up the phone.

He answered the call in the living room without avoiding others. Xu's mother could see that Zhu Weidong cared about her granddaughter very much.

After Ji Ling hung up the phone, he told her to live a good life.

"But your elder brother is sick this time, why didn't Xiaoke come?" Father Xu came out of the study and looked at his wife again, "Did Xiaoke go today?"

Mother Xu thought for a moment and said, "No."

The two looked at Ji Ling, and Ji Ling smiled and said, "I don't know either. You should ask my parents."

Anyway, she doesn't do evil things.

Xu's mother saw that something was wrong and thought that Ji Ling would go back tomorrow, so she didn't bring up the topic anymore.

At the hospital, after Ji Ling and the others left, Ji Yong and Xu Fang talked to their son about the money.

"Your uncle said he would give it to Xiaoling in the next few days. I promised Xiaoling that I would give her 5,000 yuan tomorrow morning." Ji Yong said, "I will go to your Uncle Qian and Uncle Zheng in a while. Even if they have money, it will not be enough for 5,000 yuan. Do you have any friends who can lend it to you for a few days?"

Ji Jianhua pursed his lips and said, "My uncle said it would only take a few days, but it's already been almost a month."

He looked at Xu Fang, "Mom, I told you at the time that this money was the factory's working capital and couldn't be used for too long. You also promised me that. Now I'm in the hospital, and my friends are all working, earning a few dozen yuan a month. How can they raise such a large sum of money?"

Finally, he said, "You should ask your uncle for it."

"Your uncle brought back one thousand today, and the Qian and Zheng families can probably borrow three thousand. We still need one thousand. Let's think of another way." Seeing that his wife was silent, Ji Yong could only think of other ways.
