In Tiannan folk, there is a custom that the elderly in the family die and cannot wash their faces for three days.

Ji Wantong hasn't washed her face for three days, and her unkempt hair not only did not see the slightest deduction, but showed an alternative surprise.

Ji Qinghe was the opposite, his hair and beard were stirred together, and the eye feces and rice residues on his face could be seen everywhere, and the two stood together, looking at them coldly, thinking that they were grandparents and grandchildren.

"You didn't sleep last night?" Ji Qinghe looked at his sister, who had lost a whole circle, and said with a frown.

"Okay, squinted for a moment. Ji Wantong smiled and whispered.

"When my mother died, I should be sad. But be sure to pay attention to your body. Otherwise, the old man's spirit in heaven will not live in peace when he sees you like this. Ji Qinghe knew his sister's knot, but he couldn't untie it, so he could only pretend to be confused and persuade him generally.

"Well, I'll take notice. Brother, you and Sister Xiaoyou last night...... You guys...... Are you okay?" Ji Wantong saw Lan Xiaoyou leaving crying last night, and her brother didn't send it.

Ji Qinghe smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Ji Wantong slowly lowered her head and whispered, "Is it because of ......?"

"It's not. Ji Qinghe immediately interrupted his sister's words, and felt that his tone was a little stiff, so he hurriedly smiled and turned around, "It's her mother, and she is a little unwell......

"After a while, Liu Jie may have to come to the house. Ji Wantong looked at her brother and said lightly.

Ji Qinghe was taken aback, not caring about the embarrassment after the lie was exposed, and hurriedly asked, "She...... What is she doing here?"

Liu Jie is Lan Xiaoyou's mother and Ma Tianze's second wife.

She said...... I want to see my mother. Ji Wantong turned her face to look at the smiling photo in front of the spirit, and suddenly remembered a sentence on the Internet, the person who cared about herself the most in this life has gone.

Ji Qinghe lowered his head and thought for a long time, and sighed, "When she comes like this, many things become more and more inexplicable. ”

Ji Wantong sneered and said, "What's so inexplicable? It's okay if she comes, I'll come to them in a few days!"

When Ji Qinghe heard this, his face changed greatly, he looked around at his busy relatives and friends, pulled his sister into the corner, lowered his voice, and said, "What do you want to do? ”

Ji Wantong looked at her brother, the tears in her eyes were like beads with broken threads, and she kept falling, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "When are you going to hide it from me?"

Ji Qinghe's heart was weak when he was asked, his eyes looked out of the courtyard evasively, and he whispered, "Look at you kid, what are you talking about? ”

"Look at me!" Ji Wantong opened her eyes angrily and roared suddenly.

Everyone in the courtyard was taken aback, and looked over in surprise, not understanding why the brother and sister had a dispute, and they actually quarreled in front of their mother's spirit. There are a few closer families who are even more brisk walking over here.

Ji Qinghe sighed, waved his hand at the family first, and then pulled his sister into the storage room.

"How much do you know?" Ji Qinghe asked with a solemn face, looking at his tearful sister.

"I only know that it's fine for my mother to go out early in the morning, but ...... when she comes back" Ji Wantong desperately stopped choking and gritted her teeth and said.

"Someone made up some ...... About your ...... things, these rumors happened to be heard by the mother, and she ran to reason with people, probably ...... Alas...... "Ji Qing Heshi."

I don't know how to say it, and there is some ambiguity between the words.

"Someone, is it him?" Ji Wantong asked hatefully as her lips were bitten and bleeding, and she didn't know it.

Ji Qinghe shook his head and sighed quietly, "It shouldn't be, with his current status, he can't avoid these things, how can he take the initiative to jump in?"

"Recently, will his position change?" Ji Wantong thought clearly, and immediately understood the crux of the problem.

"There are some things that you can't manage if you want to. Ji Qinghe looked at his sister, his eyebrows shrugged high.

"If you see me as a family, don't hide it from me and do things by yourself. Ji Wantong reached out and grabbed her brother's arm, gritted her teeth and said.

"Have you forgotten what your mother said before she died?" Ji Qinghe's face was ugly, and he said astringently.

“…… Tongtong, for your brother, mom is not worried. Men, they are meant to suffer in the world. There's not much to say about that. You're different. That kid's name is Ren Kai. Whether he's good or bad, Mom can't care anymore. But if he can really protect you and make you happy. Just let him go......"

The mother's words hit the girl's heart like a hammer, and she immediately collapsed. In despair, he let go of his brother's arms and slowly squatted on the ground, crying.

It turned out that my mother's words were not said casually, everything was just hidden from herself.

This time, Ji Qinghe did not persuade, and let his sister cry unscrupulously, suppressed for too long, and the necessary release was far easier for people to open their hearts than meaningless exhortation.

"Don't meddle in this matter. The men of the Ji family are not dead, and it is not the turn of the women to come out. After Ji Qinghe finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Ji Wantong raised her head and looked at her brother's distant back, and a clear and indifferent face appeared in her mind. I can't help but wonder, will he help himself?

In the quadrangle.

Ren Kai sat down and was talking to Tong Jingsheng.

"So you're going to end up in the system. Alas, my heart is very comforted. Tong Jingsheng looked at Ren Kai and laughed softly.

"Hehe, seeing that you still have the heart to make fun of me, it means that the Tong family's problems still have a turning point. Ren Kai shook his head and smiled slightly.

"There is no Hou, there is no Tong. I hope that they can remember the lesson of this time, and luck will not be on the side of the Tong family forever. Tong Jingsheng looked down at the calluses in the tiger's mouth and said lightly.

Hearing him say this, Ren Kai understood that it should be Hou Kui who made a move. Also, the three generations of the two families intersected, how could they be killed with a stick because of a little discord? Moreover, the Tong family did not necessarily have only one card left.

"Is Li Cheng's problem big?" Ren Kai was unwilling to get too involved in the issue of the Hou and Tong families, so he diverted the topic.

"How can it hurt to hit yourself?" Tong Jingsheng clapped his hands, shook his head and smiled, "However, Hou Yong ......"

Ren Kai tugged at the quilt and said casually, "How can there be sugarcane that is sweet at both ends?" Since your eldest brother has benefited, the second child of the Hou family should be pretentious even if it is to avoid suspicion. ”

Tong Jingsheng restrained his smile, looked at Ren Kai with a solemn face, and said, "Hou Yong has withdrawn from the system. ”

Ren Kai was stunned and couldn't help but sigh, "Hou Kui is a powerful character. This trick directly pinched your eldest brother's back road. What about Tong Tong? must have come out too. ”

Tong Jingsheng snorted in his nose and said, "You and Hou Kui are a pair of bosom friends." Not bad

, Tong Tong's whereabouts are still somewhat related to you, Baigui Charity Foundation. ”

Ren Kai half-squinted, remembering the first time he saw Shan Muyun, but after more than a month, it was like a lifetime, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Buzz. Ren Kai looked at the mobile phone next to the bed and connected, "Well, third brother." You said. ”

"Mr. Ren, I checked, on the morning of Ji Wantong's mother's death, there was indeed an accident. It's just that there was a little snow that day, and there were not many people participating in the morning exercise, so some things didn't come out. Feng San said cautiously on the phone, although he didn't face it, he could still feel the sharpness hidden in the sudden silence on the other side of the phone.

He waited for a moment before continuing, "There are a few idlers who deliberately spread information about Ji Wantong and ...... in a few specific places ...... of a high-ranking official Inappropriate remarks. The old lady happened to be passing by, and without getting angry, she got into an argument with a few people. During this period, it may have caused the old lady's emotional ups and downs too much, plus she herself was ...... So ......"

"Did you do it?" Ren Kai raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

Tong Jingsheng on the opposite side was startled when he saw it, but he didn't expect that a person who had no power to restrain a chicken could also release a murderous aura.

"Not really. I personally interviewed several people who witnessed the dispute, and they all said that they only saw the old lady arguing with others, but did not see the action. Feng San hurriedly said.

"Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you don't do it. Ren Kai showed his attitude.

"Yes, yes, I see. Feng San said in a panic, with the continuous earthquakes in Tiannan officialdom, Ren Kai's power is better day by day, and sometimes even he doesn't dare to be as casual as before.

"Who is behind it?" Ren Kai's eyes narrowed into a slit, looking at the snow on the roof outside the window, and said slowly.

A few idlers who are full of food and support will make up this kind of thing that can't be beaten with eight poles? You don't have to think about it to know that someone must be pulling it behind your back.

"It's Yan Ming. Feng San hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Is Yan Yongzheng involved?" Ren Kai asked with a dry cough.

"It is being investigated, and judging from the evidence found so far, it should be unaware. Of course, it is not excluded that other problems will be found later. Feng San originally wanted to hide it, but when he heard the boss's tone, where did he dare to hide it, and the old Yan family never gave him a cigarette, so why bother to make the boss unhappy for them.

"Hey, hey. Ren Kai actually smiled.

But this laughter, whether it was Tong Jingsheng sitting opposite, or Feng San on the other end of the phone, they were all terrified when they heard it, and their hearts were chilled.

"Well, third brother, this matter is over here, you don't need to check it again. Ren Kai did not retreat with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, I see. Mr. Ren, there was just a news that Ma Tianze's wife went to Ji Wantong's house. Feng San also lowered his voice and said.

"yes, I see. After Ren Kai finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Ceramic factory dormitory.

Liu Jie, dressed in black cotton clothes, was standing in front of Ding Aizhen's spirit.

"Old sister, I didn't expect us to meet again, it would be here. Liu Jie bowed and whispered.

"Aunt Liu, thank you for coming to see my mother. After Ji Qinghe returned the salute, he walked up to Liu Jie and said lightly.

"I know you don't want to see me. But it makes sense, this time, I have to come. Liu Jie looked at Ji Qinghe in front of him, but finally set his eyes on Ji Wantong, who was motionless in front of the spirit.
