Ji Xin was the smartest one, and he immediately noticed something was wrong. He smiled and said, "You married far away, and everyone knows that your in-laws treat you well. They are afraid that you will be spoiled and don't understand Wei Dong."
"So that's how it is." Ji Ling smiled, "I don't have to worry about my family. My parents-in-law treat me like their own daughter. They let me do whatever I want even if I want to."
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "You have brought up Xiaoling very well. She is very sensible. Weidong is not at home all year round, so she has indeed suffered a lot. As elders, we can't do anything. All we can do is help them take care of the child."
"Look at what you said. There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world. Weidong has a good job, and everyone is envious of him. His job also determines that he cannot stay at home all the time. Everyone understands that." Ji Yong also smoothed over his words.
We were having a nice chat, but it turned out like this.
"It's like this when two people live together. Only when they understand each other can they live in harmony." Xu Fang smiled, "Jianhua, you should also think this way when you live with Sanmei. Sanmei is still studying and can't come back often. You are not allowed to have any objections."
"Mom, don't worry. If I really dare to mess up, you can take care of me."
"Sanmei, did you hear that? You must appease your mother-in-law in the future." Li Songlan also realized that she had said the wrong thing just now, and laughed it off.
Everyone laughed.
The incident that just happened was also brought up, and no one seemed to take it to heart.
The Xu family also came over in the afternoon.
Xu Yujia also came. She did not go to find Ji Ke to play as she did in previous times. Instead, she stayed quietly beside her mother.
Although my aunt Xu Hongmei had a smile on her face, it was a forced smile and there was no smile in her eyes.
Ji Ling finally figured out what was going on that evening. Xu Yujia and Ji Ke took the college entrance examination in the same year, but she had never heard which university Xu Yujia was admitted to.
Did he fail the exam?
Everyone from the Xu and Ji families came, and it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so a large group of people had dinner together in the evening, and it was very lively. After dinner, Old Mrs. Zhu also returned to the Zhu family's old house.
Ji Ling wanted to go back with her, but the old house had been uninhabited for a long time. Even though the fire had been burning for two days and the adults didn't feel the cold, the child was too young to live there, so she and the child stayed behind.
So at night she and her child squeezed on the kang in the same room with Wang Sanmei, Ji Ke, and Xu Yujia. Ji Ke's room was vacated for the women, and the men lived in Ji Yong and his wife's room.
Ji Ke was still as warm to Xu Yujia as before, "Yujia, let's sit next to each other."
Xu Yujia smiled and paused, "Okay."
But anyone could see the reluctance on his face.
Ji Ling and Wang Sanmei exchanged glances, neither of them understood what was going on.
Ji Ke grew up in the Xu family and has the best relationship with Xu Yujia. From outsiders' perspective, it is obvious that Xu Yujia is keeping his distance from Ji Ke.
Niu Niu went to bed early. After turning off the lights, Ji Ke leaned over and spoke to Xu Yujia in a low voice. But just as he was about to open his mouth, he was stopped by Xu Yujia.
"Don't disturb Niuniu, let's go to sleep."
Ji Ke let out a disappointed sound, but couldn't refute.
After a busy day, Ji Ling felt sleepy. Although she was curious about which school Xu Yujia had been admitted to, she felt sleepy and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
In Ji Ke's room, the women did not sleep.
"Sister-in-law, I think Yujia doesn't look very energetic. Is she not used to staying in the medical school?"
"I always went out with friends during the New Year holidays and didn't get enough rest." Xu Hongmei avoided the topic of medical school.
Over the past six months, Xu Hongmei's heart felt like it was being weighed down by a stone.
Of course Xu Fang knew that her sister-in-law was arrogant, competitive and always liked to put others down. When her nephew was admitted to university, Jianhua failed. Every time she saw her sister-in-law, she spoke to her in a sarcastic tone. Xu Fang herself married down and her daughter was raised in her parents' home. Her son was also suppressed, and her eldest daughter was not ambitious and brought up in disgrace. She has not been able to hold her head up in her parents' home for all these years.
All she could hope for was that her youngest daughter would be more successful and get into a good university to make her proud.
It was not known whether God felt that she worked too hard, but first the eldest daughter was admitted to the capital, then the youngest daughter, and then the niece failed to even get into a technical secondary school.
After holding in my anger for so many years, I finally let it out.
Tomorrow is a big wedding day, and Xu Fang didn't do anything excessive. She just mentioned it. When she realized that her sister-in-law was unhappy, she decided to stop while she was ahead.
Except for the snoring old lady Ji, no one else was asleep.
Xu's mother lay on her side with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. Her daughter used to be proud and arrogant, but after so many years, the arrogance in her bones was gone, and she became as fussy as a shrew in the market.
Li Songlan also listened quietly. The Xu family was biting themselves, so she was naturally happy to watch the fun.
The Ji family cannot compare with the Xu family, and Xu Fang, the eldest sister-in-law, also acts superior and looks down on others in front of her.
Now that these two were fighting, she was naturally happy to watch the fun.
It’s a pity that there is no follow-up to this sentence. Li Songlan felt quite regretful.
It was already late for the Ji family to rest. After all, there was a wedding tomorrow and so many guests had come to their house.
But the Ji family had already gone to sleep, while the lights of the Wang family in the agricultural machinery family compound were still on.
Wang Damei persuaded her parents for the whole afternoon and her mouth was dry and her tongue was parched, but she saw that her parents didn't say a word.
She spoke until her voice was hoarse, and finally said, "If you don't go tomorrow, I will go. If you don't go to Ermei's wedding day, don't go to her again if you have any problems in the future."
"That's Sanmei, what does that have to do with Ermei?" Lian Qin interrupted her eldest daughter, "If we don't agree, why go? I don't believe she wouldn't feel ashamed if no one from her family attended the wedding."
Then she added, "You are not allowed to go either. No one is allowed to go."
Wang Guiqiang, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not going."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's all rest." Lian Qin stood up and said to her eldest daughter, "Go home early tomorrow. Your mother-in-law is always picky, and she will be angry with you if you keep going back to your mother's house."
Aunt Wang's expression darkened, "Mom"
"Okay, stop talking." Even though her daughter didn't say anything, Lian Qin knew what she was going to say, "Go to bed. Your dad and I have to go to work tomorrow."
Aunt Wang knew that persuasion was useless, so she could only go back to the west room.
The Wang family's house has three rooms, with the kitchen in the middle and living quarters on both sides. In the past, four daughters lived in one room, but now only the youngest daughter, who is still in junior high school, lives in the west room.
Wang Zhaodi hadn't slept yet. When she saw Auntie coming over, she sat up and asked, "Sister, don't our parents agree?"
Wang Damei sat down and patted her little sister's head. "Zhaodi, you must get into college and go out."
Don't stay with your parents.
