Ji Ling was also about to find Ji Jianhua to tell him about the news she heard from Zhu Weidong.

But Xu's mother pulled her and first showed concern, then apologized for Xu Fang, "Your mother didn't do well, I criticized her severely. There is no overnight hatred between mother and daughter. I still remember when you were a child and had a fever that wouldn't go away in the county hospital. Your mother took a truck and brought you to the city in late autumn. Her face turned pale from the cold, but she just wrapped you tightly in her arms and covered you with all her cotton clothes."

"Life is hard, and it can turn a weak-minded person into a madman. In the past few years, as you have grown up, pressure from all sides has come again. Sometimes she makes mistakes without even realizing it, and she wants you to correct her, right?"

Faced with Xu's mother's earnest persuasion, Ji Ling just nodded, without complaining or complaining about her grievances. Now that she is getting along with Xu's family, she has also developed her own way of dealing with things.

That means no argument or excuses, whatever you say is right.

This way the topic will be over quickly.

It was exactly as she thought. Xu's mother said so much, but her granddaughter didn't say a word. She couldn't find anything else to say and just kept repeating the same few sentences over and over again.

After watching the people from the Public Security Bureau come out, he took the three of them back.

On the way, Ji Jianhua said he wanted to buy lunch and asked Ji Ling to go with him, and the brother and sister walked together.

Ji Ke followed Xu's mother with his head down, "Brother and sister, do you have anything to say?"

"Five fingers are of different lengths, so there are naturally differences between brothers and sisters. It's okay for them to whisper to each other." Mother Xu didn't think much of it. "Don't think too much about it. If you really feel uncomfortable, just get closer to your older brother and sister in the future."

Ji Ke took Xu's mother's arm and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just envious. I always want to do better, but I find that I always make mistakes. If I hadn't said too much this time, my sister wouldn't have run away from home. If she hadn't run away from home, she wouldn't have come to the city. If she hadn't come to the city, Dad wouldn't have gotten into trouble. In the final analysis, the root cause is all my fault."

"According to what you said, I think the fault lies with your eldest brother. If he hadn't resigned, none of this would have happened. The fault lies with your mother, too. If she hadn't hit anyone, none of this would have happened." Mother Xu patted her hands and comforted her, "Things have happened. Right now, you need to get your father back on his feet. There's no need to dwell on what happened. It will only make you upset and you'll never get out of that cycle."

Ji Ke nodded obediently. When she was about to enter the ward, she saw a figure walking by not far away. She thought for a moment and made an excuse to go to the bathroom before entering the ward. After leaving Xu's mother's sight, Ji Ke ran quickly and finally found the person in the cafeteria in the backyard of the hospital.

"Hello, do you still remember me?" Ji Ke stood in front of Zhu Weidong, panting.

Zhu Weidong, holding a lunch box in his hand, looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know you."

Ji Ke was stunned for a moment, and immediately introduced himself, "Ji Ling is my sister."

Zhu Weidong kept repeating the name Ji Ling in his mind. He knew who it was, but he couldn't remember what she looked like. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Ke bowed deeply, raised his head and said, "You saved my sister on the street that time, but I never thanked you in person. I just saw you here, so I chased after you to thank you."

Zhu Weidong said, "I understand."

Then he nodded and strode away.

Ji Ke clearly felt that the other party's attitude suddenly turned cold as soon as she finished speaking. After thinking about it carefully, she didn't know where she said wrong?

Zhu Yaowu walked out slowly from the back and said in a strange voice, "You really care about your sister."

Ji Ke's body stiffened, and he forced a smile, and asked in a familiar tone, "You are here too. By the way, is anyone in your family sick? Are you all here?"

The last time they came down the mountain and were at the restaurant, Ji Ke also realized that the two men were brothers.

Zhu Yaowu replied patiently, "Yes, my grandma is in the hospital."

Seeing Ji Ke's face turning red and blue, Zhu Yaowu left in a good mood.

Of course his elder brother, who is such a decent man, doesn't like this kind of false concern.

Ji Ke's mind went blank.

When I returned to the ward and saw the three people talking in low voices, my eyes warmed up slightly and I walked over, "Mom, was it my sister's friend's grandmother who saved my sister?"

Xu Fang was discussing her husband's condition with her parents. The doctor had just come in and said that the X-rays were out and there was a blood clot in his brain. Although he was briefly lucid, he might never wake up again at any time unless he went to the capital for a craniotomy.

Xu Fang was completely frightened. She was at a loss and sobbed as she asked her parents for advice. Suddenly, her daughter asked a question.

She didn't understand for a moment, "What do you mean your sister's friend's grandmother?"

"I just met my sister's friends in the hallway, and the two brothers said that it was their grandmother who saved my sister."

Xu Fang understood this time, "Your sister didn't tell me that it was her friend."

Father Zhu had already understood who the two brothers his granddaughter was talking about. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Are your sister and the Zhu brothers friends?"

"Is their last name Zhu?" Ji Ke told him about the encounter on the mountain and how the other party saved Ji Ling. "I think they must have known each other before."

"Since your sister said she didn't know him on the mountain, then she didn't know him. Maybe they just met once." Father Xu said, "Why are you asking this? What did they say?"

Ji Ke shook his head, "No."

Father Xu frowned and looked at her.

Although they didn't say it, the three of them had the same idea.

Since nothing happened, why are you talking about this? And you look so aggrieved.

Ji Ke didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable being stared at.

Father Xu's face darkened a little bit, and he warned seriously, "Xiao Ke, your father is seriously injured right now, you have to be sensible."

The tears that had been welling up in Ji Ke's eyes could no longer be controlled and fell.

"Okay, Xiaoke has been feeling guilty, so don't talk about her anymore. Let's talk about Ji Yong's case. According to the doctor, the craniotomy will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars. Let's think about where to raise the money first." Xu's mother pulled her old man and asked Ji Ke to go outside to see if Ji Jianhua and the others had returned from getting food.

Outside, Ji Ling and her elder brother found a place where no one was around to talk.

"Brother, I'm in danger and my dad is in trouble. Maybe someone wants to target our family, or me." Ji Ling talked about the letter she got from Zhu Weidong. "Do you know that Wei Fan? I don't remember knowing this person. But I want to take some time this afternoon to ask Zheng Shi if I have offended anyone."
