"What did you say?" Ji Jingyan's face changed greatly.

Luo Ning looked into his eyes expressionlessly: "I don't need to disrespect my friends, and I don't need anyone to make decisions about my life." If you insist on doing so, I won't stop you. But from now on, we are no longer friends!"

Ji Jingyan's face turned pale: "Luo Ning, I just want to protect you!"

"I don't need to be protected! I can protect myself. If you want to be my friend, trust me!" Luo Ning said firmly. In this life, don't rely on anyone!

Ji Jingyan looked straight into her eyes, he saw the persistence and seriousness in Luo Ning's eyes, as well as the maturity and sadness that were not commensurate with his age?

What is the matter with that distressing sadness? She obviously has such a warm home, so many family members who love her, where does her sadness come from? How did her maturity beyond ordinary people come about? Luo Ning, what has she experienced?

Ji Jingyan raised his hand and gently stroked Luo Ning's face, the pity and tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed: "Luo Ning, why are you so sad, why don't you let me protect you?"

After experiencing lies and betrayal, Luo Ning easily discerned Ji Jingyan's truth, the boundless tenderness overwhelmed her, and his firm attitude made Luo Ning have an urge to rely on him.

But she couldn't!

She couldn't easily believe it, even if she knew that Ji Jingyan was sincere. She can't indulge herself to rely on him, because she can't afford to gamble!

"Okay, I promise you. People, leave it up to you to deal with it. But you also want me to help you, Tang Lanfei's father is the director of the Shun'an Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, you have no power and no power in Shun'an, how can you fight with her?" Ji Jingyan reluctantly compromised, but the worry in his heart was even more.

Luo Ning didn't understand these situations and said, "Hmm. Knowing yourself and knowing that you have won all battles, then you can tell me about her and Qi Ziqing. ”

Ji Jingyan said: "I don't know much, I will go to Shun'an today, investigate the situation in detail in the past two days, and tell you when you return to Shun'an." ”

Luo Ning frowned: "This is too troublesome for you." ”

"No trouble, I'm willing. Ji Jingyan said lightly.

On the afternoon of the 5th, Lin Zi's family was finished, and Luo Zhenying and Luo Zhenjie returned home together. After a while, Luo Xiaomei and Bai Hongjun came with Bai Haohan.

"Mom, we're coming to see you. Brother, sister-in-law is also at home. Little brother, you're here too. Luo Ning, second aunt hasn't seen you for a long time, let me see? You've grown taller and stronger, I heard your dad say what kind of taekwondo are you learning?" Luo Xiaomei greeted everyone warmly as soon as she entered the door.

"Well, yes. Luo Ning replied with a smile.

When Bai Haohan saw his sister, he happily threw himself into her arms: "Sister, you're finally back!"

Luo Ning hugged him and gently pinched his round cheek with one hand: "Did you miss me?"

Bai Haohan nodded vigorously: "Of course I miss you." ”

Luo Ning looked at his cute appearance, and his mood was cheerful.

After Bai Hongjun entered the house, he called Ye Qiuhua 'Mom', and then talked to Luo Zhenying. As for the others, it was as if he hadn't seen them.

Everyone sat around in the living room, and after greetings, Bai Hongjun coughed a few times and looked at Luo Xiaomei.

Luo Xiaomei said hesitantly: "Brother, sister-in-law, we have something to discuss with you today." ”

Luo Zhenying said: "Just say something. ”

Luo Xiaomei wanted to speak and stopped, but Bai Hongjun glanced at her and grabbed the conversation: "Brother Zhenying, it's like this." You know I've been in the fruit business all these years. I get up early every day, and I have to run around all day, my health is not good, and it is even worse in winter. ”

Luo Ning listened to these opening sentences, and secretly said in his heart: It's a nice thing to say, what kind of fruit business? Isn't it just to ride a motorcycle and go up the mountain to sell some fruits every day?

Bai Hongjun continued: "I'm not in good health, and I can't go out to do business in the winter, but I still have to support my family, right? It can not only make money to support his family, but also facilitate Haohan's study. ”

Hearing this, Luo Ning understood his intention: Didn't he just want to borrow money? Luo Ning had no good impression of the White Red Army at all. The White Red Army served as a soldier when he was young, and those who served as soldiers in those years should have been assigned work after being discharged. I don't know why the White Red Army chose not to work and asked for a settlement fee.

He also thinks highly of himself, thinks that he has read more books than others, and has served as a soldier and has more knowledge than others, so he always likes to brag about himself. Luo Ning didn't know what kind of education he had, but at most he was only a high Chinese certificate.

The White Red Army loves to brag, has no one in his eyes, and feels that no one can compare to him. But people are extremely stingy, just like Luo Chuanyi. The only thing that is better than Luo Chuanyi is that he also knows how to support his family.

But the only advantage of this point has not lasted for many years. In his previous life, since Bai Haohan joined the work, he used the excuse of poor health and no longer went out to work to earn money.

After working in a suburban county near the provincial capital for two or three years, Bai Haohan took out a local loan to buy a house. Soon after buying a house, in order to realize his dream, he quit his job and went to serve as a soldier for two years.

Luo Xiaomei has been exhausted in the past two years, she relies on the meager salary of housekeeping, and she has to help Bai Haohan repay the mortgage every month and support her family. The White Red Army didn't help at all, didn't even do housework, and knew how to play cards all day long.

Luo Xiaomei quarreled with him a lot, but there was nothing she could do about him. What made Luo Xiaomei most angry was that before Bai Haohan went to serve as a soldier, he held a banquet at home and invited all his relatives and friends to come. At that time, Bai Haohan was busy with other things, the banquet was organized by the White Red Army and his wife, and he also set up a table to sign the bill for everyone.

Signing a bill means that relatives and friends give gift money, and then write down their names in the gift book. The customs in the rural areas of Longshan County are also different from those of banquets, and red and white ceremonies generally have to be signed. If the host makes it clear that he will not sign the bill, he will give it if he is willing to give it, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to give.

Banquets such as sending children to the army and school are generally not very formal, and the standard of the banquet is not very high, so most of them will not be signed.

Since the White Red Army has set up a table for signing orders, the banquet must be organized. But he is used to picking the door, in order to save money, he does not let the chefs who hold the banquet to help him buy the ingredients, but buys them himself. As a result, there were not enough ingredients, and those who came late did not even have to eat food, and several grumpy relatives and friends dropped their dishes and chopsticks on the spot and left, and never had anything to do with their family again.

Luo Ning listened to her mother tell her about this, in her mother's words, she had never been so ashamed in her life, and she really felt that she couldn't hold her head up that day.

In the same year, grandma Ye Qiuhua fell and was paralyzed in bed. At that time, Luo Zhenjie had been missing for many years, and Luo Ning was also in the provincial capital. Luo Chuanyi can't count on it at home, he doesn't want to take care of it, and Ye Qiuhua doesn't want to be taken care of by him. Therefore, the burden all fell on the shoulders of Luo Zhenying and his wife, and the two husbands and wives divided their labor, one took care of the first half of the night, and the other took care of the second half of the night, and this care was more than half a year. In the later period, Ye Qiuhua also suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and he didn't even know anyone.

In the past six months, Luo Xiaomei has only taken care of her mother for two nights. The White Red Army never came to the door once. Read the latest chapter of "Rebirth Invisible Rich Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
