Chapter 81 The child only wants Wang Yuqing to be his mother.
Ji Zhenzhu looked at Wang Yuqing's face again, her expression filled with envy: "How wonderful, she's so beautiful and kind. It would be even better if she married my brother. She'll definitely enjoy a life of happiness in the future."
Before Wang Yuqing could reply, Ji Xuening suddenly declared, as if making a vow: "I will make her live a good life. She is my wife."
Wang Yuqing's face suddenly flushed. She had just felt annoyed by the unfamiliarity of the introduction, but now she felt it was too intimate.
Ji Zhenzhu's sallow face was full of smiles as she repeatedly said, "Good, good, good, so good."
She still refused to go in, but Wang Yuqing forcibly pulled her in. The moment she entered, seeing the blind Grandma Ji sitting on a chair weaving bamboo baskets, she couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs: "Grandma..."
Grandma Ji's aged face showed both surprise and sorrow. She reached out her hand and touched the pearl, saying, "Pearl? You're back? Come, come..."
Ji Zhenzhu knelt down and buried her face in her knees, sobbing softly.
Grandma Ji was also in tears, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
The two of them just cried, and afterwards they seemed to agree not to talk about how Ji Zhenzhu was doing in her husband's family. Instead, they both smiled and reminisced about the past.
After reminiscing, Grandma Ji told Ji Zhenzhu everything Wang Yuqing had done at the Ji family. Upon hearing this, Ji Zhenzhu quickly apologized: "Yuqing, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have listened to what others said and thought you were a shrewish and unreasonable person. I was worried about what would happen to Grandma, the children, and the fourth child in the future."
"I never expected you to be such a kind and capable person."
“I will never listen to their nonsense again. If they keep gossiping about such a good sister-in-law, I will definitely confront them.”
Wang Yuqing didn't mind at all.
She also invited Ji Zhenzhu to stay for dinner. She made a big pot of snails, and Ji Xuening made a big bowl of wild boar stew with vermicelli. The whole family sat around the main table and ate very happily.
Before Ji Zhenzhu left, Wang Yuqing forced her to take a lot of snails home.
Ji Xuening originally planned to take five catties of wild boar meat, along with the cloth she had bought for Wang Yuqing and Ji Zhenzhu's in-laws. One reason was to send her some meat, as she hadn't seen her for a long time, and the other was to ask her to make a set of clothes for Wang Yuqing.
Wang Yuqing had completely forgotten about the clothes; it was the man next to her who was so thoughtful.
Ji Zhenzhu was happy when she left because she didn't have to worry about her family. Seeing that they were doing well made her feel at ease. As for her own life, it was a complete mess, and she could only accept her fate.
Looking at the meat and snails in her hands, she breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that taking these things home would not result in being scolded by her in-laws or beaten by her husband.
She had planned to come a few days ago, but her injuries hadn't healed, and she was afraid that her injuries would be noticed when she returned to her parents' home.
Wang Yuqing only learned from Grandma Ji after she left that the commune organized several brigades to watch a movie together. Ji Zhenzhu and her husband Jia Min met on the way and later fell in love.
Grandma Ji and Ji Xuening both disapproved of their marriage.
Grandma Ji had heard that Jia's parents were not good people, and Ji Xuening could also tell that Jia Min was lazy, greedy, and a bit of a bully at home.
But no matter how much they tried to persuade her, Ji Zhenzhu was determined to marry into the Jia family.
The Jia family also saw this and looked down on the Ji family even more. However, the woman was easy to talk to, so the wedding rules, etiquette, money, and gifts could be reduced by more than half.
The Jia family was not wealthy to begin with, and they couldn't have been happier to have a daughter-in-law who was practically giving herself away for free. So, they sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Ji Zhenzhu had been married for four years. She would only come back to visit during the first two years, such as holidays and New Year. She never came back for the last two years.
Grandma Ji had heard that because Ji Zhenzhu had no children, her husband's family looked down on her, calling her a useless old hen that couldn't lay eggs, and treated her very badly.
Therefore, Ji Zhenzhu refused to enter the house in the afternoon because she hadn't listened to their advice and now she was too ashamed to face them.
Grandma Ji took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and cried, "My poor Pearl, how will she live from now on? She just wouldn't listen to my advice."
Wang Yuqing comforted her for a while until she calmed down. Then, Grandma Ji suddenly remembered something important that she hadn't had a good chance to ask.
She said, "Fourth brother, why didn't you become the militia company commander? It shouldn't be like this."
Wang Yuqing secretly glanced at Ji Xuening, even wanting to see him make a fool of himself and find out how he would manage to cover it up.
Ji Xuening glanced at Wang Yuqing.
Wang Yuqing quickly lowered her head and began cutting the snail's tail.
Ji Xuening's dark eyes were calm and composed, showing no nervousness. He told Grandma Ji the truth, which made Grandma Ji open her mouth and clench her fists from time to time.
Even the three children standing nearby were dumbfounded.
After Ji Xuening finished speaking, he continued to measure the length of the board with the ruler.
Grandma Ji was furious. Suddenly, she picked up her cane and struck Ji Xuening hard on the back.
Wang Yuqing was startled and quickly stepped forward to grab his cane: "Grandma, why are you hitting him? This was done by that Liu bastard, it has nothing to do with him."
Grandma Ji was trembling with anger, but thinking about it, she was right; she still trusted her grandson a lot.
However, she still said fiercely, "Ji Xuening, listen carefully, if you dare to do anything to betray Yuqing, I...I...I will hang myself in front of you."
Ji Xuening frowned slightly: "Grandma, don't say things like that again."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Yuqing with his dark eyes and said seriously, "I will not do anything to betray her, and I am not interested in that Comrade Chen Xiangxue. I have never done so before, and I will never do so in the future."
For some reason, when he said those words, Wang Yuqing felt that his features were so bright and vivid, and his charm was infinitely amplified, making him mesmerizing.
She lowered her head, and the corners of her slightly pursed lips curved into a smile.
Grandma Ji snorted: "That's more like it. Chen Xuexiang is not even half as good as my Yuqing."
Wang Yuqing said helplessly, "Grandma, you've never even met her, how do you know she's not half as good as me? What if she's beautiful, smart, gentle, kind, and has a whole host of good qualities?"
Grandma Ji said, "That's still not as good as you."
Ji Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, also said loudly, "Dad, I don't want her to be my mom. I only want this one mom."
Ji Meimei tugged at Ji Xuening's trouser leg: "Dad... me too, I only want this mom, I like this mom, I don't like any other moms."
Ji Xuening, who is usually cold and aloof, was amused by the three children. He reached out and rubbed Ji Meimei's head gently, saying, "There won't be any other mothers."
Upon hearing this, Ji Meimei happily turned around and threw herself into Wang Yuqing's arms, nuzzling him with her little head.
Ji Xiaoming suddenly said, "That woman must be very bad."
Wang Yuqing asked, "How do you know he's bad?"
She recalled that in the original owner's life, that woman was Ji Xiaoming's stepmother. Since she was able to marry Ji Xuening, she must have satisfied Ji Xuening in every way, so naturally she wouldn't treat the three children badly.
Ji Xiaoming suddenly blurted out, "It's a boy's intuition."
His words made everyone burst into laughter.
