Come to think of it, it's quite thoughtful.

After returning home, Ji Ling told this story during dinner.

In fact, after Zhu Weidong did this, the Zhu family was angry, but they didn't do anything else. They just waited for Zhu Weidong to come back to deal with it.

As for Xu Li's situation, they naturally asked about it. She was a very honest girl, and people who knew her said that she was honest and kind.

He is not as nosy as Miao Shaozhen, nor is he Lian Qizhen, so I feel relieved.

Now when I hear others do this, I feel less prejudiced.

Zhu Weidong came back very early this time, half a month before the Chinese New Year. He did not say hello to his family. The main reason was that Ji Ling had not answered his calls since the last incident. Perhaps he knew that Ji Ling would not answer his calls, so he came back directly.

When we got home, it was early in the morning and the whole family was having dinner. It was rare that the four brothers of the Zhu family also came back.

The family was quite surprised to see Zhu Weidong coming in wearing a military coat, but the four Zhu brothers immediately started grinning with the intention of watching a show.

Zhu Weidong had been sitting in the car for two days. After having breakfast, he was called to the study by Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Yaowu and others went to eavesdrop and even brought Niuniu with them.

Niu Niu is young and has been separated for nearly a year. She no longer remembers her father. During meals, Zhu Weidong tried to hug her several times, but Niu Niu dodged him every time.

Niu Niu also pointed at Zhu Weidong and called him a human trafficker. Because of this sentence, the Zhu family never stopped laughing.

It turned out that the Zhu family was afraid that Niu Niu would be taken away by someone with ulterior motives again, and they were also afraid that she would inherit Zhu Weidong's face blindness, so they always talked about human traffickers and pointed out what kind of people they were like.

So when she saw a stranger trying to hug her, Niu Niu would shout "human trafficker" loudly.

People in the compound can't help laughing when they mention it.

Ji Ling had to go to work, so she left without saying goodbye to Zhu Weidong.

It was almost noon when Zhu Weidong was let out of the study by his grandfather. Seeing his four younger brothers watching the fun outside, he had a sullen face and wanted to hug his daughter, but was struck by the shouting of "human trafficker".

Finally I thought of looking for my wife, but I found out that she had gone to work.

Old Madam Zhu called him to sit next to her. "You, you are too concerned. After your grandfather talked to you that day, he guessed that something bad was going to happen. I didn't understand what he meant at the time. After you did that, I finally understood what he meant."

"Grandma, I don't care about those things, but I can't let Xiaoling suffer any injustice."

"Your behavior is problematic. You've been talking about other women. Doesn't Xiaoling feel wronged? Even if it's fake, it won't work. People will only think that Xiaoling is marrying down and is being wronged in our family."

Seeing her grandson stunned, Grandma Zhu asked, "You haven't figured it out yet?"

"I've come to realize that I was wrong. I didn't expect this."

"You, you, Xiaoling didn't say that because she cares about you, and she doesn't care about what others say. If she was petty, she would have felt wronged a long time ago." Old Mrs. Zhu reminded him, "Come back tonight and apologize to your wife. At that time, your grandfather and father were angry, and Xiaoling was also scared. Although she didn't answer your calls during this period, she was worried about you a lot."

"Grandma, I understand."

It was a rare occasion for her grandson to have a holiday at home, so Old Mrs. Zhu didn't say any more. She called Zhu Yaowu and the other three to bring Niuniu over, and then guided her great-granddaughter to recognize her father.

In the evening, when Ji Ling was getting off work, she saw a tall figure at the door of her unit and walked over.

Zhu Weidong also took a few steps forward and said, "It's time to get off work."

Ji Ling handed it over, took his arm, and walked towards the car. "How long have you been waiting outside? Why didn't you call me?"

Most people in the unit have left work. Ji Ling has a heavy workload, and Zhu Yaowu's department is also too busy, so a lot of work has been assigned to her.

The people below suddenly received a different project and were slow to complete it, so Ji Ling took it on herself.

After all, he is her brother-in-law, and it can be considered a private favor. Ji Ling was embarrassed to ask people in the department to work overtime with her.

Zhu Weidong came to pick her up at the time when she got off work. Ji Ling felt distressed and complained to him a few more times for making him stand outside for so long in the cold winter.

"Yao Wu drove me here. He knew you were going to work overtime, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he let me get off the car and left."

Speaking of his younger brother, Zhu Weidong said dissatisfiedly, "Don't spoil him in the future. You work overtime here, and he goes out to play. Let him do his work by himself."

"He's busy too. Many of his subordinates haven't delivered materials yet and are running around. If I don't help him, I don't think he can expect to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year."

The couple got in the car and Ji Ling drove. On the way, Zhu Weidong took the initiative to talk about what happened with Xu Li.

"You were angry that day, and Xu Li took the initiative to say that we should not let people misunderstand us again, and asked her boyfriend to go to you to explain. She told me afterwards."

"Xu Li is getting back together with her boyfriend now?"

"Well, I also advised her that such a good person is not easy to find, and he only has her in his heart. She seems to have let it go, and their relationship is good now. When she came back from vacation, Xu Li even said that she would find time to bring someone to her house, which also explained the misunderstanding." Zhu Weidong reflected again that his method was wrong and apologized again.

Ji Ling asked, "Were you woken up by your grandfather's scolding?"

"My grandmother woke me up."

Ji Ling smiled, "I knew it was like this. I don't really care what other people say, so don't think about it anymore. They have their own mouths, so let them talk. It's not like we'll lose a piece of flesh."

"Okay, I got it." Zhu Weidong looked at his wife with a smile.

The two of them bought some lamb rolls and vegetables on the way back, and in the evening the family gathered together for hotpot.

After dinner, the whole family sat in the living room and talked. Ji Ling saw Zhu Weiyue coming out of the study with a Buddha statue in his hand. She looked at him curiously.

Old Mrs. Zhu said to him, "Put it back and don't let your grandfather see it."

"Grandma, now many of my friends are dealing in antiques. They go to the market and say they get a lot of good stuff and make a lot of money. This Lu Dongbin Buddha statue in our house is old, right? I think it's worth a lot of money." Zhu Wei was eager to try, "I'll ask my friend to appraise it."

"It's from the Yonghe period of the Ming Dynasty." Old Mrs. Zhu said there was no need to identify it. "It was passed down from our ancestors."

"That must be worth a lot of money." Zhu Weiyue fiddled with it for a while before putting it back in the study.

When he came here, Mrs. Zhu reminded him, "Your friends around you are playing with antiques, but you are not allowed to touch them. These things are very complicated."

"Don't worry, grandma. I won't play."

No one took this matter seriously, but Ji Ling knew that there were many things floating around in the ghost market. If she went to get some of them, she might be able to make some money.

But it was just a thought and he put it out of his mind afterwards. The next day after Zhu Weidong came back, Xu Li brought her boyfriend to his house.
