Since Ji Ling has taken over the original owner's body, there are some things that must be dealt with. Why should she let outsiders take advantage of her?

"Is that a fountain pen you gave me? I haven't opened it yet. I did something wrong and put you in a difficult position. I will pay you back according to the price of the gift. You can explain to Aunt Xu and say it was just a misunderstanding. I asked you to buy it for me. If you put the blame on me, Aunt Xu won't blame you." Chen Jingming emphasized again, "Xiaoling, remember what I told you. Tell Aunt Xu that I asked you to buy it for me."

He does have brains, and with this explanation, people won't think he has a bad character, and he is also trying to make the girl happy.

Ji Ling did not mention what she said to Ji Ke.

She said, "Isn't this bad? It doesn't make sense to give a gift and then ask for it back."

"It was wrong for me to accept your gift, and I just found out how expensive it was, so it was even more wrong for me to accept it. You did nothing wrong, the fault lies with me. Xiaoling, don't feel any psychological burden. Grandma Xu's birthday is on the 10th of next month, and I'll give you the money when you come over." Chen Jingming changed the subject, "Xiaoling, when will your notice come?"

Ji Ling's voice changed from the previous depressed tone to cheerful, "Okay, just prepare 500 yuan."

"I've made a note of this. Your notice."

Ji Ling said, "Then, see you on the 10th."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Ji Ling hung up the phone.

She looked up at Zheng Shi, "What's that look in your eyes?"

Zheng Shi, "Look at the monster."

Ji Ling walked out while biting an apple, "If you look at me again, I'll charge you."

Zheng Shi followed him and said, "San Biao, when did you start recognizing money?"

"From the moment you called me San Biao."

Zheng Shi: He is just a talkative person.

Ji Ling didn't stay at Zheng's house for long because there was a collapsed courtyard wall to deal with, so she went home with a net bag of apples that Grandma Zheng had given her.

When she got home, Ji Yong and Ji Ke had already cleared half of the bricks in the yard. Seeing Ji Ling coming back, Ji Yong immediately put his hands on his waist and looked angry.

His tone was stern, and his eyes were squinting as he spoke, which revealed his true thoughts. "Ji Ling, what's going on? You knocked down the wall and ran away. I think you are really lawless."

Ji Ke looked at his father and pretended not to see it.

At this time, Xu Fang came out of the house with a cold face and a cooking spatula in her hand.

Ji Ling cooperated with Ji Yong to explain, "Dad, what are you talking about? I sent Zheng Shi home. He came to our house and just walked to the gate, our wall suddenly collapsed and almost crushed him inside. He was so scared that he was completely stupid. I was afraid that he would get into trouble, so I sent him back first."

After that, she held out the apples in her arms and said, "Grandma Zheng said that this matter is not our fault, and she was afraid that you would feel guilty after knowing it, so she asked me to bring some apples back."

Xu Fang: Ji Yong's mouth cracked when he heard this. He turned around and smiled at his wife, "Look at what I said. The wall of our house is too old and should have been repaired long ago. Fortunately, no one was hurt today. If someone was hurt, our family would still be responsible. This is a good thing."

Xu Fang: Do you really think I’m stupid?

Ji Ling passed the test easily.

Put down the apple and follow Ji Yong and Ji Ke to move bricks.

Without his wife by his side, Ji Yong secretly asked Ji Ling, "Grandma Dong next door said she saw Zheng Shi riding on the wall for fun, and when you saw the wall fall, you took him and ran away. I was thinking of coming back to pretend to scold you to vent your mother's anger, but I didn't expect you to be so smart and blame Zheng Shi for everything. If you were so smart before, you wouldn't have quarreled with your mother so harshly."

"Dad, do you think my mom would believe what I said?"

“No.”

"So if I drag this into Zheng Shi, my mom won't be angry anymore?"

Ji Yong pondered for a while and said, "No."

Ji Ling continued to guide him, "What will happen then?"

Ji Yong: He might have to sleep on the sofa again tonight.

Ji Ling patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Dad, you don't have to act with me in the future."

Ji Yong was touched, "You've grown up and know how to love daddy. Daddy is willing to sleep on the sofa for half a month. Are your eyes uncomfortable? Why are the corners of your eyes twitching all the time?"

Ji Ling: Ji Yong suddenly felt a chill on his back and turned around stiffly.

Xu Fang's face was as gloomy as water. She shouted that it was time for dinner, and when she turned and went into the house, she said to her husband, "Since you want to sleep on the sofa so much, you can sleep on the sofa for the next half month."

Ji Yong: The scene of the affectionate father and daughter seems a bit exaggerated.

Ji Ling and Ji Ke pursed their lips and tried not to laugh.

The two sisters have been in contact for many days, and it is rare that they have a common understanding and a little warmth at this moment.

When Ji Yong saw this scene, he smiled wisely.

At night, when the couple was the only ones in the room, he came to the bedside and talked about what happened during the day, taking credit for himself, "You see, although I slept on the sofa for half a month, the relationship between the two sisters has obviously become closer. They have been separated for many years. After going to college, they have fewer opportunities to meet. When they get a job and get married, they will rarely have the opportunity to repair their relationship in the future. Today, I sacrificed my small self for the greater self."

Xu Fang glanced at him and said, "You're flattering yourself, but you can't lose weight even if you sit on the sofa for half a month."

"Okay, I'll sleep. Just don't be angry." Ji Yong smiled foolishly.

Xu Fang glared at him, then lay on the bed with her back to him and said nothing.

"Xiaoling is trying to pin the blame on Zheng Shi. This is indeed Zheng Shi's fault. How can he not fall if he doesn't sit on the fence? I will call Zheng Pingshun tomorrow and ask him to give Zheng Shi a good beating."

Xu Fang turned around and glared at him, "That's enough. You can't keep acting. How much has Zheng Pingshun helped the family over the years? When did the couple come home without buying gifts for Ji Ling? You're still looking for someone else after the wall collapsed, but don't you think about whether your wall is strong enough to fall down with a kick? Be glad you didn't hurt anyone."

Ji Yong admitted his mistake quickly, "Okay, okay, okay, then I won't look for it anymore. I'll find someone to rebuild the wall tomorrow."

Xu Fang: She gritted her teeth and said, "You are just forcing me to admit that Ji Ling has nothing to do with this matter? Now that you have a satisfactory answer, go back to the sofa and sleep."

Ji Yong looked innocent, "I really didn't mean that."

Facing his wife's fiery gaze, Ji Yong obediently went to the sofa.

Xu Fang tossed and turned in bed.

What kept her awake was not the collapse of the wall today, but the fact that she looked at her relationship with her eldest daughter from another perspective, which made her feel more regretful.

Over the years, it seems that she has indeed lost patience with her eldest daughter.

The more I think about it, the harder it is to sleep.

No one knew what Xu Fang was thinking, all they knew was that she became much quieter.

Ji Ling had been helping Ji Yong clean up the bricks in the yard at home these days. When the bricklayer came to build the wall on the third day, Ji Ling's soap had fallen out of the mold.

The soapberry smell is very strong, but after using it to wash hands, the soapberry smell is not strong, but instead there is a light floral scent that is very strong.

Ji Ling picked out a small Margaret daisy-shaped piece for Ji Ke. Ji Ke's eyes lit up and she said "thank you, sister" sweetly. The one she gave to Ma Hui was a rose-shaped piece.

Ma Hui put it in front of her nose and smelled it. "What a nice scent! What kind of scent is this?"

"Lavender."

"Lavender? It's a nice name and the color is beautiful too. Xiaoling, this is very expensive, right? Uncle Ji bought it for you from outside, right? You gave me such an expensive thing, I don't know what to give you in return." Ma Hui bit her lower lip awkwardly, "How about I tell you a secret?"

Ji Ling instinctively felt that she should refuse.

Before she could open her mouth, Ma Hui blurted out, "Today, Tian Jing confessed her love to Liu Zili and was rejected. I was afraid of being discovered, so I turned around and left in a hurry. I didn't expect to step on a stone and make a big noise."

Ma Hui stopped and looked at Ji Ling guiltily.

Ji Ling: She had a bad feeling, "What do you want to say?"

"You dropped the notebook you borrowed from me there."

Ji Ling: Ma Hui was busy explaining, "I was going to return it to you. Who would have thought that I would see this when I went out?"

Ji Ling: She has a physique that attracts bad luck.
