After hanging up the phone, she didn't want to ask about the current situation at the Ji family.

On the phone, Ji Yong and Ji Jianhua treated her the same as before, and she was fine with that.

As for what Xu Fang thought or did, Ji Ling didn't want to know.

In Ji’s furniture store.

Ji Ke waited until the phone call ended before walking in through the back door.

She walked to Xu Fang, took Xu Fang's hand, and called out softly, "Mom."

Xu Fang hugged the girl in her arms and began to cry softly.

Ji Yong seemed to have had all his strength drained away. He sat powerlessly on the chair, staring blankly out the window.

He never imagined that his wife would hide such a big thing from him.

Her daughter died in the hospital, so she adopted a child. He really couldn't understand what his wife was thinking.

This thought was not because he hated the fact that Xiaoling was not his biological daughter, but because he, as a father, felt sad when he thought about the fact that his biological daughter was gone.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Ji Jianhua asked, pursed his lips and said, "Xiaoling is my sister, no one can take her away from me."

He expressed his attitude.

No one spoke.

Ji Ke whispered, "Brother, she is not my biological daughter after all."

Ji Jianhua looked over with a calm gaze, but Ji Ke lowered her head guiltily, "Brother, I don't mean anything else. The Wang family has been asking my sister to go back and has come here several times. It's not good to keep making a fuss like this. What if grandpa and grandma tell us about it?"

"Grandma doesn't like mom and sister in the first place. If she knows about this, won't she force mom and dad to divorce?"

Ji Jianhua snorted coldly, "Mom and Dad are both my grandfather's people. It's none of my grandmother's business whether they get divorced or not."

Ji Ke pursed her lips and wanted to refute, but due to Ji Jianhua's intimidation, she dared not say anything more and could only shake Xu Fang's arm.

Xu Fang stepped out of her daughter's arms, wiped her eyes, and looked at her husband, "Ji Yong, I know I was wrong about this. I kept it a secret from you for so many years. I feel sorry for you and Xiaoling. I adopted her but I couldn't get close to her. But from the moment I brought her home, I never treated her as someone else's child. I always treated her as my own."

"My idea is very simple. Xiaoling is my child. No matter who comes to me, she is my child. I treated her badly in the past, and I will make it up to her in the future." Xu Fang pulled the corners of her mouth in shame, "If you can't forgive me for what I did, I agree to divorce."

"Mom." Ji Ke panicked.

Seeing that her mother didn't look at her, she could only beg Ji Yong, "Dad, please don't get a divorce, okay? Mom lost her own child and felt sad. The Wang family also disliked my sister and gave her away. It's not Mom's fault. Mom even saved my sister's life."

Ji Yong waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. No matter what, Xiaoling is our child. It won't help no matter who comes."

At this moment, all members of the Ji family stood in a line.

Ji Yong stood up and called his son over, "Come with me to Wang's house."

Ji Jianhua followed without hesitation.

When Wang Sanmei heard that they were going to Wang's house, her face turned red, "You guys go ahead, I'm fine here."

Wang Zhida's family is actually a relative of Wang Sanmei's, and Wang Sanmei has to call him "uncle".

So after this happened, Wang Sanmei was called back to her parents' home. Wang Sanmei had no intention of going back, but her biological mother brought back a message that if she didn't go back, she would come directly to their house.

Wang Sanmei could only go back to her parents' home to visit.

After returning home, Lian Qin naturally advised her daughter to go back and persuade her in-laws to let Ji Ling return to her ancestral home.

When Wang Sanmei heard this, she had a quarrel with her family and came back. On the way, she met her husband and father-in-law who were going to Wang's house.

As soon as she entered the house, Lian Qin came to her door.

Because of Ji Ling's matter, the Ji family has been visited frequently these days. Some were from the agricultural machinery family, while others were old friends of the couple. They all asked about Ji Ling's life experience.

Lian Qin was the most frequent visitor. Xu Fang was a person who cared a lot about her reputation. She knew that Lian Qin came only to watch the fun, so she didn't have the nerve to chase him away.

The first few times Lian Qin came, she never said that she and Wang Zhida were relatives, and she also wanted to find out some information.

But the Ji family had not given in, and Ji Ling was far away in the capital. Lian Qin saw that the Ji family was a tough nut to crack, but she didn't want the Ji family to get the advantage so easily, so she gritted her teeth and went to their house.

"Xu Fang, we live in the same courtyard. Actually, I have never told you that Wang Zhida is my husband's eldest brother. Our two families are relatives. What a coincidence! My Sanmei married into your family. So we are not outsiders. I am afraid that my eldest brother is dying. He just wants to see his biological daughter before he dies. You two have always been kind-hearted. I have no choice but to be the mediator. Let Xiaoling come back and see her biological father for the last time."

Xu Fang almost vomited blood after hearing this. She didn't care about her face anymore. "So the last few times you came to my house, you were just trying to get information? Lian Qin, let me tell you, if I hadn't seen that Sanmei is my daughter-in-law, I would have kicked you out right now. Get out of here now. Xiaoling is my daughter, and she said she is her daughter. Let her produce evidence. If she can't, I will sue her for spreading rumors."

Lian Qin was relieved when she saw Xu Fang getting angry. "Look at you. If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Why are you so angry? The angrier you get, the more guilty you feel."

Pop.

Lian Qin's words were interrupted by a crisp slap.

Xu Fang slapped him once, and then the second slap came.

Lian Qin didn't expect her to attack her. She was stunned at first, and only came to her senses after being slapped for the second time. She pounced on Xu Fang without thinking.

As a result, a basin of cold water was poured on her. Although the store was warm in the winter, the basin of water that had just been pumped out of the well soaked Lian Qin from head to toe.

Lian Qin shuddered and forgot to fight back.

Wang Sanmei held the basin in her hand and said, "Get out of here! If you don't get out of here, I'll throw you into the well."

Lian Qin looked at her daughter and opened her mouth. When she saw Ji Ke following her from behind with a basin of water in his hand, she cursed her daughter and turned and ran away.

Ji Ke didn't know what happened before, but when he saw the water spilled all over the floor, he complained to Wang Sanmei, "Sister-in-law, why did you spill water all over the floor? When will it dry up in such a cold day?"

"What's wrong with your sister-in-law spilling a basin of water? Talk to your sister-in-law nicely in the future." Xu Fang scolded her daughter.

Ji Ke pursed her lips, put down the basin, turned around and went back to the backyard angrily.
