Chapter 3: Trouble
Yang Yang came to live at Mrs. Ji's house, and the most troubled were undoubtedly Shen Yuxiang and Qi Xiu's mother and son, who lived next door.
Without Ji Qiuhong's control over her, Mrs. Ji is a spoiled child again, knowing Yang Yang's thoughts on Qi Xiu, she is even more happy to see it, and she is full of praise for Qi Xiu's excellence.
In this case, Shen Yuxiang watched coldly as Yang Yang pestered Qi Xiu again and again, following behind him, but the dissatisfaction in his heart was more than one day at a time.
Originally, she thought that she and her son were going to move to the city to live, and when she came back in the future, Fang Zhen would have fewer days, and she didn't want to do things desperately if she could save some face, but seeing that Yang Yang's behavior had an impact on her daily life, she was not very happy.
Since she knew that Ji Ran lived in the Dongquan Hotel, Shen Yuxiang knew clearly that Ji Qiuhong would definitely recognize Ji Ran's identity, after all, after so many years, she could recognize Ji Ran at once, not to mention that Ji Qiuhong was Ji Ran's aunt.
Therefore, seeing Yang Yang hurriedly running to Mrs. Ji, she had some guesses in her heart.
Presumably, Ji Qiuhong and even the rest of the Ji family didn't want Mrs. Ji to know about Fang Zhen when Ji Ran came back.
After a few temptations, she also became more aware of Yang Yang's purpose for coming to Mrs. Ji's house, even if she kept saying that it was because Ji Qiuhong was busy with business and had no time to come back, she deliberately came to accompany the old man, but in the end, she was young, Shen Yuxiang casually tried twice, and she panicked.
On this day, Qi Xiu was going to the library in the town, returning the few books he borrowed last time, and borrowing a few other books back, Shen Yuxiang got up early to cook for him, so that he could eat and set off again.
"You don't have to rush back the book, just come back before lunch, and I'll leave you food." ”
Shen Yuxiang was choosing vegetables at the door, and told Qi Xiu in the courtyard behind her.
It just so happened that these words were heard by Mrs. Ji, she knew that her granddaughter had been sticking to Qi Xiu tightly for the past two days, and a smile appeared on her face, and she greeted Shen Yuxiang: "You got up so early today?
If it was usual, Shen Yuxiang would not pay attention to her at most, and at this moment he just said in a flat tone: "Yes, our family Qi Xiu has to go to the library to study early, I think your Yang Yang will not be able to get up at this time!"
Her attitude showed a proud attitude, after all, Qi Xiu's good grades were well known to the whole town, although he was not the first college student in the town, but he was the first person to approach the famous university in the province with the top grades in the city.
On the other hand, Yang Yang should be the age to study hard in high school, but she didn't do her job all day long, and dropped out of school early, and she was surrounded by people who were not careful, if she hadn't grown up together almost since childhood, she and Qi Xiu would be people from two worlds completely.
Shen Yuxiang choked on Mrs. Ji's words for a long time, Yang Yang's grades were indeed not good, not only that, but even the other children of the Ji family around her had average academic performance, not to mention the famous universities in the province, even the good universities in the city may not be able to get in.
But the more this is the case, the more Mrs. Ji supports her granddaughter in pursuing Qi Xiu, thinking that she Shen Yuxiang is proud of her son's strength, so if Yang Yang gets Qi Xiu, no matter how powerful he is, he will be the grandson-in-law of the Ji family, what is there to be proud of!
"Although our duck is lazy on weekdays, her temperament is also unyielding, and she is not so easy to pass. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Ji turned her head and went to her own house, came to the room where Yang Yang slept, directly and neatly opened the curtains, pulled out the electric blanket, and then stood in front of her bed, and patted Yang Yang through the quilt with her boring hands.
"Duck, don't sleep, get up quickly, hurry up! ”
Yang Yang was woken up, sleepy-eyed and hazy when he saw Mrs. Ji's wrinkled face, startled, suddenly sobered up for more than half of the time, and then said impatiently: "Grandma! What are you going to do this morning! I sleep until ten o'clock every day, you don't know, don't pull me if you want to go out!"
There was no response to her kindness, and Mrs. Ji was not angry, she still patiently fished Yang Yang out of the quilt and comforted: "It's not grandma who wants to go out, it's you! Grandma is really heartbroken for you, if you don't get up again, people Qi Xiu will go out, and when you sleep until ten o'clock, you won't even be able to catch a figure." ”
As soon as he heard Qi Xiu's name, Yang Yang immediately came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he took Mrs. Ji's hand and asked, "Grandma, where did you just say that Brother Qi Xiu is going?"
"I just heard from his mother that I'm going to go to the library later! I won't be back until noon, you just have to go along, hurry up! Qi Xiu's mother still laughs at you for not getting up! You clean up for me, and I'll show her proof!"
"Well, okay! Thank you, Grandma. ”
Yang Yang raised a smile, thinking that he could follow Qi Xiu to the library, he stayed for most of the day, Yang Yang Jue was not sleepy, and he didn't think that the air was too cold in the early morning, so he lifted the quilt and got out of bed to find his own clothes, and dressed up carefully.
Under the urging of Mrs. Ji, when Qi Xiu finished breakfast and was about to leave, Yang Yang came to the door of Qi's house with a careful dress, and saw that Qi Xiu looked like he was going out, and his eyes lit up: "Brother Qi Xiu, I heard that you are going to the library, can you take me with you?"
Qi Xiu's face was a little ugly, he glanced at Shen Yuxiang in a blink of an eye, and saw that she didn't say anything, but he didn't refuse, but just walked out silently.
Yang Yang is here in Qi Xiu, but whenever she can't get any answer, she will follow very consciously.
When the backs of the two of them gradually faded away, Shen Yuxiang leaned against the door and sneered: "I don't go to school anymore, what kind of well-behaved and good students are still pretending to be in front of our Qi Xiu, and go to the library?
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji was a little unhappy: "I said Qi Xiu's mother, why are you so mean? Your family's Qi Xiu is indeed excellent, but our ducks are not bad, that water spirit looks, in the entire Shifang Town, can you find a second one?"
That is, I didn't give birth to a daughter, otherwise, with Yang Yang's appearance, I would dare to be embarrassed in front of my son?
After speaking, Shen Yuxiang unceremoniously snorted on the ground, turned around and went back to clean up the house.
It is rare to have a good sunny day, after Shen Yuxiang cleaned the kitchen, she came to her son's room and moved all the mattresses he slept on to the door to dry, but saw Mrs. Ji sitting at the door with a small stool, basking in the sun, holding an old photo album in her arms and looking at it.
Such a scene is not unfamiliar to Shen Yuxiang, who has been a neighbor for many years, and even after the death of Mrs. Ji's eldest son, the remaining sons split up and left her alone in this small dilapidated house.
When Grandma Ji was young, she vividly showed the evil mother-in-law's behavior, and she did not get along well with Ji's mother Meng Yue, and even had a bad relationship with her other two daughters-in-law.
Because Meng Yue and Ji Boss have been married for many years and have no children, and they are ridiculed by Mrs. Ji who has inherited the idea of inheritance all day long, Ji Boss can't bear his wife to be wronged, so he decided to work hard to save money and split the family.
Later, after Boss Ji's career was successful, he took Meng Yue to his side, but only gave Mrs. Ji a fixed living allowance every month.
However, these living expenses of Boss Ji to support the elderly were all subsidized by Grandma Ji to Ji's father's two younger brothers and Ji Qiuhong, even if Boss Ji still subsidized Mrs. Ji in private, but she still said that Meng Yue was not, and it was just because she failed to add a son and a half daughter to the Ji family.
After that, Ji's mother finally came with the good news of pregnancy, but Boss Ji passed away unexpectedly, leaving Meng Yue and the posthumous child in her belly sandwiched between the wolf ambitions of the Ji family.
When Meng Yue was pregnant, Grandma Ji stuffed a large family into the big house purchased by Ji Ran on the grounds of taking care of her, and when she gave birth to Ji Ran, seeing that it was not a son she wanted, Mrs. Ji's dissatisfaction was even more unrestrained, and she directly united with Ji Ran's two uncles and aunts and Ji Qiuhong to drive Ji's mother and Ji Ran out of Ji's house.
Ji's mother herself is not from Shifang Town, when her family is broken and adrift, she meets Boss Ji and is brought back by him, Ji's family does not allow her, even if she has to leave Shifang Town, there is only one way to go.
As for the blood, sweat and property that Boss Ji has worked hard for, they have also been divided among the remaining children of Mrs. Ji.
But because Mrs. Ji and the other two daughters-in-law did not have a good relationship, no son was willing to take on the responsibility of support, let alone give her living expenses on a regular basis like Boss Ji, so Mrs. Ji finally squeezed out Meng Yue and got the property left by her eldest son, but her life was not as good as when he was alive.
It was only at this time that she remembered the goodness of her eldest son's family, and often put it in her mouth to say, but what she did spread almost throughout Shifang Town, and everyone sympathized with Meng Yue who was driven away, and they didn't feel that Old Man Ji was too pitiful, so no one paid attention to her at all.
Over the years, Shen Yuxiang has remembered these things vividly, she knows why Ji Qiuhong doesn't want Ji Ran and Mrs. Ji to recognize each other, she is afraid that what she has managed with great difficulty will be recaptured by Ji Ran, and she is afraid that Mrs. Ji will no longer favor them, but will welcome Meng Yue and Ji Ran's mother and daughter back.
After all, the other two sons of the Ji family, after sharing the inheritance of Boss Ji, did not have any interest, but Ji Qiuhong occupied his eldest brother's house and built Dongquan Farm in a different way, and the money in his hand had already increased several times.
But after Shen Yuxiang met Ji Ran, she clearly knew that she and Meng Yue would never want to return to Shifang Town, and even they didn't want to have anything to do with these people in the Ji family at all.
Perhaps, if the rest of the Ji family knew about Ji Ran's current situation, they would be as insatiable as they were with Ji Boss back then
