If I dare to say these things today, I know that I will offend my uncle and aunt, but if they have no selfish motives, would grandma have the confidence to make such a fuss? I don't believe that they didn't know anything about it in the past year.

The smile on Ji Xin's face faded. Of course, he would not bother with the junior, but looked at Ji Yong.

"Brother, I can't stop mom from thinking this. Songlan and I don't have this idea. Although I'm out of work now, I'm thinking about doing some business this year. I've been thinking about it. This year is a bit difficult, but it won't last too long."

What I mean is, don't worry, our family has never coveted your things.

Ji Yong said frankly, "Second brother, we have never thought about it this way. It was all mom's idea. I never said a word more."

It would be a lie to say that Ji Yong had no complaints about his younger brother. His parents had always favored his younger brother since he was a child, but he knew that he was the eldest brother and had never complained. Now that he had made some achievements in his career, his mother set her sights on this. How could he not feel resentful? "Did you hear clearly? The two brothers had no ideas, but it was because of you that they became alienated from each other. Seeing this, did you hide it?" Old Man Ji asked the old woman.

Mrs. Ji was not willing to admit that she was wrong. "The second son is not able to do it now. The eldest son is the older brother. Why can't he help out? We have been supported by the second son all these years, not by him."

"The eldest brother has taken the pension money." Old Man Ji interrupted her, "If you continue to make trouble, go back to your mother's home immediately."

"What? You still want to divorce me."

"Yes, divorce."

As soon as Mrs. Ji howled, Old Man Ji said, "If you howl again, I will let the boss take you back now."

The old lady seemed to have her throat pinched and was unable to make any sound.

"Second brother, you've seen what your mother has done. No matter what you think, I'm going to say this today. We've separated a long time ago. Whether your eldest brother is good or bad is his own business. It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with peace and stability. They have the ability to enjoy delicacies from mountains and seas, but we can't afford to eat porridge and vegetables. You can't blame others."

Ji Xin said, "Dad, I know."

"It's good that you understand." Old Man Ji said, "Xiaoling just came back today, you should go back to eat, and bring your children and your husband here tomorrow. In grandpa's eyes, you are the child of the Ji family, and what others say is useless, remember?"

"Grandpa, I'll remember that." Ji Ling smiled, then took out a letter from her bag and put it in front of Old Man Ji. "Grandpa, I was planning to give it to you tomorrow when I come to see you, but now that I'm here today, I'll give it to you first. You can't refuse it."

The letter is very thick and the money inside cannot be missing.

Old Man Ji took a look and didn't refuse. "Okay, this is your intention as a junior. Grandpa won't be polite with you."

Ji Xin took the initiative to see Ji Yong and the others off, then returned to the east room.

Old Man Ji was counting the money in the envelope, there was a total of five thousand yuan.

He counted the money in front of the whole family, and Old Mrs. Ji never took her eyes off the money.

Old Man Ji counted the money, put it back into the envelope, and handed it to his youngest son standing at the door. "Here, use this to start a business."

"Dad, I can't have it."

"This is what Xiaoling gave me. It's my money. Since your mother and I have divided it between you, no one will say anything if I give it to you. Take it."

Ji Xin took the money with shame, and his nose felt sore.

Just now, his father stood on the side of his eldest brother. He felt aggrieved, but he also understood that his parents had been biased towards him all these years.

It’s just that he’s in a difficult situation now, and his eldest brother can always help him when his parents ask.

This was the resentment in his heart. Now seeing the five thousand yuan, he felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Li Songlan was also stunned for a moment, and then joy flashed in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Ji was somewhat reluctant, as the money was given to them and it belonged to them. If they really wanted to help their youngest son, it was the eldest son's job to do so.

Ji Xin took the money back to the west room.

"How can I have the money to face my brother in the future?" Ji Xin lowered his head.

Li Songlan opened her mouth and said, "It's not your fault. I knew Mom went there twice, but I didn't tell you. It's my fault."

"How can you stop Mom?" Ji Xin knew that his wife said this just because she didn't want him to feel too sad.

Li Songlan has always been strong-willed. "Let's not talk about this for now. I will work hard to build my career. I will always be able to repay the favor I owe to my big brother when I have the chance."

Ji Xin nodded, he thought so too.

On the way back, Ji Yong felt very guilty towards his daughter, "I let you suffer and you have to pay so much money."

"Dad, it was originally meant for grandpa. When you got into trouble, grandpa directly took out his old savings. Grandpa is an upright person, and I will always remember this kindness."

My daughter remembers it, but it’s also because of him.

Ji Yong felt warm at heart after hearing this, and he also felt sorry for his daughter being poked in the nose and scolded by her, "Don't worry about your grandma in the future. She doesn't like you. Just pretend that you don't have this grandma."

The same goes for my son. Because they wanted to be filial to him over the years, he seemed to be non-existent in the family.

After returning home, Zhu Weidong helped and Xu Fang cleaned up the mess. Xu Fang cooked another table of dishes. The dishes prepared earlier were sufficient, and some stews were made too much and not all of them were brought to the table, so it was quick to prepare a new table.

When Ji Ling came back, she was a little surprised to see her daughter leaning on Xu Fang's arms, being very close to her.

Xu Fang also looked unnatural. She handed Niu Niu back to Zhu Weidong's arms and asked everyone to wash their hands and eat.

During the meal, Ji Jianhua told what happened at the Ji family.

Hearing Ji Ling throw money, Xu Fang guessed the intention, "Originally, your father and I were planning to lend some money to your uncle to start a business, how can we use you to give money? How much did you give?"

"It's also a way to show filial piety to my grandfather." said Ji Ling.

Ji Yong also said, "Just give it if you gave it. What Xiaoling gave is the same as what we gave."

When Xu Fang heard her husband say this, she didn't say anything further.

Niu Niu is four years old and has a good appetite. Ji Yong dragged Zhu Weidong to drink, and the task of feeding Niu Niu fell on Ji Ling.

Xu Fang ate quickly, she came over and said, "I'll feed Niuniu, you eat."

Ji Ling handed her the bowl, "Thank you, Mom."

Xu Fang's body stiffened for a moment, and she took the bowl with a smile.

She took Niu Niu to the sofa and fed her while watching cartoons.

Wang Sanmei whispered, "I see mom's eyes are red."

Ji Ling smiled.

Wang Sanmei, "This is good. Mom has changed a lot in the past few years."

If people know they are wrong and sincerely correct their mistakes, the family will always feel comfortable living together.

Niu Niu went to bed early and Xu Fang didn't need anyone's help to clean the table, so Wang Sanmei took her to see Ma Hui and Dong Manhua.

Ma Hui was already married and was assigned to the Bei County Post Office. Her husband was her colleague, a very honest man. Ma Hui became pregnant the year she got married and gave birth to a girl.
