Zheng Shi was on the phone, talking to Zheng's father on the other end of the line. When he saw Zhu Yaowu looking like he had seen a ghost, he burst out laughing.

A smile also welled up in Qian Xiangqian's eyes.

Zheng's father was still wondering why his son, who was so angry just now, suddenly laughed. He called out to him twice before his son answered him. He asked his son what was wrong and heard his son say nothing was wrong.

Father Zheng did not ask further. "I will check the relationship between Dai Baozhi and the Wang family. The Wang family has already gone there. Your uncle Qian called me and said Dai Baozhi's father might be promoted. I don't know if it is related to this matter. But Dai Baozhi is refusing to let go of this matter. We can't do anything about her. Don't keep nagging about it. You should also persuade Xiaoling. As for Ji Ling, persuade her to think positively."

The only person he didn’t mention was Qian Xiangqian.

In fact, everyone knew that after this happened, it was even more impossible for Qian Xiangqian and Dai Baozhi to be together.

Zheng Shi hung up the phone and turned his attention to Zhu Yaowu with interest.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on? You knew all along? How come we didn't know about such a big thing?"

"Grandma knows. The other party came to our house a few years ago and said that he was going to die and wanted to see me for the last time. I didn't go. At that time, I didn't let grandma tell you. Regardless of whether this is true or not, I only have one parent." Ji Ling said without caring at all.

Zhu Yaowu scratched his head, "This is no small matter, how can you act like nothing happened?"

Ji Ling smiled, "It doesn't matter what. They gave me away in order to have a son, so they just treated me as if I didn't exist. Now that I think about it, there's no need for that."

"A family that gives away their daughter for the sake of their son is really not a good one." Zhu Yaowu was stunned for a moment and repeated.

"They have nine daughters, not counting Xiaoling." Zheng Shi said with a smile, "When they went to the Ji family to make a scene, everyone in Bei County knew about it. Later, Wang Zhida told the family that it was a misunderstanding and that they would not allow the family to disturb the Ji family again. Only then did the matter come to an end."

"Everyone in Bei County knows about this?" Zhu Yaowu felt shocked.

"yes."

"Does my elder brother know about this?" Zhu Yaowu suddenly thought of this.

Ji Ling said, "I didn't tell him."

Zhu Yaowu: His elder brother is so pitiful.

Ji Ling, "Your eldest brother is not at home all year round. He would be worried if I told him. Besides, I just regarded this as a misunderstanding. I didn't take it to heart."

Zhu Yaowu seemed to have figured out a lot of things at this moment, "No wonder your mother has been sending you things by mail for the past six months. Is it because your biological parents came to visit her and your attitude changed her mind?"

Over the past six months, the Ji family has been sending local specialties from Bei County from time to time, including towels knitted for Niu Niu. The woven patterns are very beautiful, and there are both pullovers and cardigans.

Even when Niu Niu was born, Xu Fang had never been so concerned.

Ji Ling didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.

In fact, she didn't expect Xu Fang to change so much.

Ever since the Wang family came knocking on her door and Ji Ling's background was revealed, she hasn't spoken to Xu Fang on the phone again. However, the Ji family still mails something to her once a month, some for her and some for Niu Niu.

Looking at those things, I knew they were made by Xu Fang.

After Wang Sanmei came back, she met Ji Ling and mentioned this matter, saying that her mother-in-law had changed a lot.

Zhu Yaowu is now wondering, "Should I tell my family about this?"

"Tell me, otherwise how will my parents know who is targeting me." Ji Ling said, "It's actually not a big deal."

She never expected that her grandmother had really kept it a secret. She thought that her grandmother would tell her parents-in-law in private.

As a result, grandma was so tight-lipped that she didn't reveal anything.

Zhu Yaowu smiled evilly and said, "I'll tell them about this."

Thinking about how shocked he was, his parents must have felt the same way.

“Can you get in touch with him?”

Zhu Yaowu was stunned for a moment, "I forgot."

Ji Ling glanced at him and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No."

Ji Ling, "Really?"

"Sister-in-law, please stop acting like a detective, okay?"

Ji Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, I'll go in and cook first. You contact Dad about this matter and make things clear."

Zhu Yaowu smiled and went to make a phone call.

In the kitchen, Ji Ling was picking vegetables. Seeing Qian Xiangqian coming in, Ji Ling urged him to go to rest, "You didn't sleep last night, did you? Go to the guest room and sleep for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Qian Xiangqian pulled a chair and sat down, "Xiaoling, where is your work assigned to you?"

"I don't know yet. I have discussed it with the Railway Administration before, but something happened and I refused to go to the railway. Besides, if I work at the railway, I will always be on business trips and have less time to spend with my children."

Qian Xiangqian said, "That's good. Working on the railway does not allow you to be at home much. Almost all the people in our circle work on the railway. It's okay for you to change jobs."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Let's see, I don't know where I will be assigned."

Talking about work, Ji Ling is also looking forward to it. It's like folding blind boxes. She has worked hard for four years and is only one step away. She doesn't know what the result will be for these four years of hard work.

The two chatted for a while, and Ji Ling was going to cook. This time, he asked Qian Xiangqian to go to rest before he went out.

At noon, Ji Ling cooked four dishes, including braised pork, stewed fish, stir-fried vegetables, and finally stewed eggplant.

She is from the north and mostly cooks stews.

During the meal, Zhu Yaowu brought over some beer. Since there were no elders at home, Zheng Shi became more relaxed.

Qian Xiangqian didn't drink, but just watched the two of them drink.

Both of them could drink a lot, and in the end, they were the only two still drinking at the dinner table. Ji Ling and Qian Xiangqian were sitting in the living room talking. Niu Niu also woke up. After waking up, she ate the steamed egg cake, then lay obediently in her mother's arms, staring at Qian Xiangqian with her head tilted.

Ji Ling touched her daughter's nose and thought to herself what a little slut.

When my daughter sees someone good-looking, she will stare at them and blow them kisses from time to time. I don’t know who she learned this from.

Because of this matter, the elders in the family called Zhu Yaowu and the other three together and asked them if they had taken Niu Niu out to play and led her astray.

The four of them looked innocent. How could they have the courage to do that? Besides, the people they were interacting with were all boys in the compound, not girls.

To sum up, we can only say that Niu Niu is self-taught.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu's father and his family came back first. Zhu Yaowu was already drunk, but when he saw his parents come back, he still remembered to talk about something.

He rushed over and grabbed Zhu's father and yelled, "Dad, do you know? My sister-in-law is not Ji's biological daughter."

A breath of alcohol blew straight into Zhu's father's face.

Father Zhu frowned and fell back, "What drunken talk are you talking about?"
