Chapter 7: Crazy Criticism of Sister Beth
Jamie's answer is that it will snow in Montana starting in October, when many attractions, including Yellowstone, will be closed in whole or in part.
Lily nodded, agreeing.
However, the actual reason is that it is 2001, and in September there will be a major event in New York that will shock the world.
Although many people and things in this world are different from previous lives, some major events that change the course of history will still happen.
Let's say 911.
Although the target of the terrorist attack is clear, who knows if something will go wrong.
The only thing that is certain is that the whole of New York will not be safe by then.
John agrees the same way, he even banned Jamie from flying half a year ago, and arranged this "school break" for Jamie early.
Of course, RV travel was an idea that Jamie came up with on his own.
This makes a reasonable explanation for why you have to drive all the way home instead of flying.
After dinner, Jamie loaded the "Yellowstone mineral water" that John had mailed him into the RV, said goodbye to the Rufus family and Lily, and drove off.
A six-hour drive down Interstate 80 through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to just around 1 a.m. to an RV park on the outskirts of Youngstown, Ohio.
The next day continued westward, through Ohio and Indiana, to Chicago.
After a day of rest in the city, we continued on the road and spent two days in Salt Lake City.
Serena looks at the map and realizes that they have taken a long detour, and Jamie explains that this is what his father John meant to pick up a man in Salt Lake City.
Jamie's younger sister and the third daughter of the Dutton family, Beth Dutton.
When she first learned that she was going to meet Jamie's family, Serena was looking forward to it.
However, Jamie tells her that he has a bad relationship with his sister Beth.
If it weren't for the fact that they both had the surname Dutton, the two would probably have fought when they met, even with guns raised.
Serena was stunned.
It was hard for her to imagine what had happened between Jamie and Beth's siblings to create such irreconcilable conflicts.
Jamie flipped through his phone to find a photo and handed it to Serena.
It was a photo of the Dutton family in front of the ranch fence when he was eight years old.
In the photo, John and his wife, Evelyn, wearing a cowboy hat, stand in the middle, with their eldest sons, Lee and Jamie, on their left, and their third daughter, Beth, and younger son, Keith, on their right.
"Do you see that?"
Jamie asked.
Serena looked up in confusion.
Jamie further prompts Serena to pay attention to the hair color of the four siblings.
The eldest brother Lee and younger brother Keith have golden brown hair, the third sister Beth has blonde hair, and only Jamie has black hair.
Serena covered her mouth in surprise and turned to look at Jamie.
"That's right, I was adopted."
Jamie admitted.
"Beth found out about this, so that's why she had a bad relationship with you?"
Serena asked, somewhat uncertain.
Jamie shook his head.
His background in Yellowstone Ranch is no secret, and Beth has known about it for a long time, and the relationship between the two has only started to deteriorate in recent years.
Just a year before Jamie and John crossed into this world, Evelyn, the hostess of Yellowstone Ranch, had an accident while taking her daughter and young son on horseback riding.
Beth, who was only eight years old at the time, was frightened by her timidity.
Evelyn fell from her horse and died when her ribs were broken and her heart pierced through the heart.
John, who lost his wife, devoted himself to the pasture, and spent most of his time raising his four children like Angus cattle on the ranch.
A year later, Li Youzhi and Li Jian's father and son crossed over and replaced the original John and Jamie.
In order not to show his feet, John can only continue to maintain a cold attitude towards his children.
is only for Jamie, after all, he is "biological", and he cares more about him on weekdays.
The eldest son, Lee, and the youngest son, Keith, are adults and the other is still young, and they are not dissatisfied with this.
Only Beth was very resistant to Old John's "sole favor" Jamie.
She felt that she had killed her mother Evelyn, and old John had always hated this in his heart, so he didn't get close to her.
Jamie is only an adopted child of the Dutton family, but John Sr. cares for him, so Beth thinks that Jamie is the one who robs her father of her love.
Since then, Beth has been working against Jamie a lot, and she always gets Jamie in trouble when she has nothing to do.
Jamie is a man of two lives, and he is in his forties combined, and of course he will not be as familiar as a little girl who longs for her father's love.
Of course, I won't let the other party bully.
Although when I watched the drama in my previous life, I liked Beth, the fierce "big sister", but this does not mean that Jamie has to get used to this crazy sister.
The real breakup of their relationship came when Beth was fourteen and Jamie was fifteen.
Beth, who has a rebellious personality, is unexpectedly pregnant, and she is afraid to tell old John about it, because the eldest brother Lee is not on the ranch during that time, and the younger brother Keith is too young to help much.
In desperation, Beth had no choice but to find Jamie.
She only told Jamie that she was pregnant, but she refused to tell the "initiator" that she was killed.
Jamie is also asked to take her to an abortion and not let anyone know about it.
Beth felt that Jamie would do the same in order to save the reputation of Yellowstone Ranch and Old John.
Everything was as she expected, and Jamie agreed without hesitation.
Then he turned around and told his father, John, about it.
After all, this plot Jamie is all too familiar.
In the original play, Jamie hid from his father and took Beth to have an abortion.
Montana law, while allowing abortion,
Jamie had no choice but to take Beth to the clinic on the Indian reservation, where the doctor sterilized Beth without Beth knowing it.
Beth reckoned the account on Jamie's head and held a grudge against him for the rest of her life.
As a traverser, Jamie certainly won't make the same mistakes as his original body.
Tell your father, John, that the other party will handle it.
At the same time, he also confessed to Rip, the first god of war in the future Yellowstone Ranch, because this guy made Beth's belly bigger.
Rip was an orphan taken in by John Sr. in his early years, and when he grew up, he became the head of all the cowboys in Yellowstone Ranch, and his combat effectiveness was outstanding, and he specialized in doing all kinds of "dirty work" for Old John.
At this time, Rip was still just a kid in his early twenties, working under Old John's most trusted cowboy Lloyd.
After weighing the pros and cons, John made a decision that made Jamie jaw-dropping.
He was going to save the baby in Beth's womb.
