Ji Jianhua smiled, but a look of confusion also appeared on his face.

He asked, "Why?"

"Brother Ji, you know my story. If it weren't for Xiaoling, I would not have the courage to live in this world now. So Xiaoling gave me this life, and it is not too much to be Xiaoling's slave for the rest of my life." Wang Sanmei's voice was not loud, and she seemed to be lost in memories when she spoke of this. "My family could have abandoned me. Xiaoling didn't spend much time with me on weekdays. When I finally found her, I didn't expect her to help me."

She raised her head and looked at Ji Jianhua with emotion, "Brother Ji, I can't take this money, please take it back. As I said just now, I am also at fault for the way things turned out. You can't blame the Luo sisters, and you shouldn't have conflicts with your partner because of this."

Ji Jianhua sighed and pushed the money back again, fearing that Wang Sanmei would stuff it into his hand again. He held her hand tightly and held the money tightly in it.

"Sanmei, don't say that. Xiaoling only helped you when you got into that situation. There's no need to repay her. As long as you are fine, that's the best way to repay Xiaoling. As for Luo Li, we both said that we need to separate and calm down. This incident also made me realize that maybe we are not suitable for each other. Luo Li is a strong person who puts her family first. She will protect her family when they do something wrong. I can't accept this. People should be reasonable and not unreasonable."

When Wang Sanmei's hand was held, her face was already hot, and she forgot to be shy at this moment, "Brother Ji, you...you don't do this. In fact, it's not wrong for Luo Li to protect his sister. If you break up because of this, how can I feel at ease?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Luo Li's attitude in handling things is very wrong. It's better to separate for a while so that everyone can calm down." Ji Jianhua did not tell anyone about the quarrel in the store, but since Shu Xuemei was there, he couldn't hide it.

But when asked to say it himself, he really couldn't say it.

"Take this money and think of it as a red envelope for you to get into university." Ji Jianhua smiled, "You just don't have confidence in yourself."

Wang Sanmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother Ji, you make me feel very embarrassed. If I return the money to you, I will admit that I can't get into university. But even if I do, I can't accept such a big red envelope."

"Keep it, we are not outsiders." Ji Jianhua also realized that his action was wrong, and awkwardly withdrew his hand, turning his head to look out the window, "The capital is still good, when our factory becomes bigger in the future, we will build a factory here in the capital."

Wang Sanmei's ears turned red and she put her hands back on her legs. "Of course you can."

The two returned to the store. There were customers in the store, so Lou Xuemei didn't have time to say much. Wang Sanmei wanted to help, but was sent back into the house by Ji Jianhua, so he stayed to help.

Ji Ling went back to her home, and then called Zhu's compound to say that she was staying there.

Ji Jianhua came over, and Old Mrs. Zhu told her on the phone to bring people to eat more delicious food.

Ji Ling agreed with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but call Zhu Weidong.

These days, she always waited for Zhu Weidong's call, but this was the first time she took the initiative to call Zhu Weidong.

The phone rang for a long time. Ji Ling thought no one would answer and was about to hang up when a stranger's voice came from the other end.

"Who?"

Ji Ling quickly put the phone back to her ear and said, "Hello, is Engineer Zhu here?"

"Are you my brother's sister-in-law?" The other party immediately guessed her identity.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Hello."

Indirect acknowledgement.

Ji Ling naturally remembered the talkative Lin Xiang, whose husband Hu Gang was the supervisor of the engineering department.

"Hello, Brother Hu." Ji Ling asked politely, "Are you and your sister-in-law okay?"

"Okay, same as always." Hu Gang said politely, and then asked with a puzzled tone, "Doesn't your sister-in-law know that Engineer Zhu was injured? It's been more than a week."

Ji Ling was stunned. "He was injured? We talked on the phone yesterday."

There was silence for a while before a voice came out, "That's because Engineer Zhu didn't tell my sister-in-law. It seems I was too nosy. But don't worry. Engineer Zhu only injured his leg. The doctor said that the plaster will be broken after a month of rest."

"Brother Hu, how did Zhu Weidong get injured?" Ji Ling held the phone tightly.

"At the construction site, a worker was careless. When laying the rails, everyone else let go, but he was still in a daze. Seeing that the rails were about to hit the worker's head, Xiao Zhu pushed the worker away and injured his own leg." Hu Gang said, "It's all my fault, but you don't have to worry. There are people taking care of him here. Accountant Chi helps him walk and exercise every day. He's not here now, so he must have gone out to exercise."

Chi Fangping? Ji Ling's eyes turned slightly and the corners of her lips curled up, "Thank you, Brother Hu, for telling me, otherwise I wouldn't have known he was injured."

After a pause, she continued, "I'm about to give birth, and if I hear something, I'm afraid it will shock the baby in my belly and cause it to go into premature labor, so everything at home is kept secret from me."

No matter what Hu Gang meant, he had ulterior motives when he mentioned that Chi Fangping helped Zhu Weidong take walks every day.

In this kind of situation, everyone would avoid suspicion and would not mention it to the other person's wife.

She had also met Hu Gang, and he was not such a stupid person.

Since the other party had bad intentions, Ji Ling also fought back a little, "Brother Hu, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll hang up first. Thank you for telling me this today."

With a click, Ji Ling hung up the phone.

Hu Gang on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded, and then he felt terrible. If something really happened to Zhu Weidong's wife because of what he said, he would be in trouble.

She just couldn't stand Zhu Weidong, so she tried to instigate him. But she didn't know that Zhu Weidong's wife was so narrow-minded.

Hu Gang was standing in the mobile home, secretly worried, thinking about how to deal with this matter, when Zhu Weidong walked in from outside.

Seeing that he was alone, Hu Gang's eyes lit up, and then he asked in confusion, "Xiao Zhu, why are you alone? Where is Accountant Chi? I just heard the phone ringing in your room, and I picked it up. It was your wife. I didn't know that you didn't tell her about your injury, so I mentioned it, and then said that you and Accountant Chi went out for a walk, and she said she had a stomachache and hung up the phone. Am I in trouble?"

Hu Gang looked worried, "It's all my fault for talking too much. Go and fight back against your sister-in-law."

"My wife's mood swings are great, which makes her miscarriage prone. She has been admitted to the hospital twice. Supervisor Hu has really caused big trouble this time." Zhu Weidong was not polite. After replying in a cold voice, without even looking at the person, he directly grabbed the phone and called back.

Hu Gang was left out and ignored. He just said a few shameless words to others and his face turned blue and red. He wanted to leave but couldn't lift his feet. He stood there feeling so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
