Chapter 115
115 Chapter 114, What Blood Brothers
“Tch, young man, read more newspapers when you have time. How can there be money in the south now?” An old man beside him shook his head with a helpless smile.
The young man was a little stunned, “Old Man, what do you mean?”
“What kind of crisis is it now? Many rich people are unable to pay their debts and are forced to jump off buildings.”
The young man’s expression changed and he immediately looked in the direction where the beggar had left.
However, in just a short while, he had already disappeared.
He thought for a moment, then rode his bicycle and sprinted towards Ji family’s house.
“Brother-in-law, I’ve seen your Third Brother a few times. That beggar looks quite like your Third Brother. Why don’t you give him a call and ask?” The young man sat in Ji Jianjun’s house and asked tentatively.
Sun Qingxia just came over with water, hearing this, she pushed her brother Sun Liqiang’s arm, “What nonsense are you talking about? Your Brother-in-law’s Brother is a university student and is now earning a lot of money in the south! He just came back a month ago and he even bought a small car.”
Sun Qingxia was afraid that Ji Jianjun would be angry, so she quickly put in a good word for him.
This brother of his was useless in his studies and didn’t work hard. He was already so old, but he still didn’t have a wife. In the future, he was still counting on the help of his brother-in-law, Ji Jianjun!
The betrothal gifts for girls nowadays were thousands and thousands of Yuan!
“Sigh, I didn’t believe it at first either. I was thinking that he was making a lot of money in the south. Why would he appear in the county? In the end, an old man beside me told me what kind of crisis it is now. Many rich people are…”
Before Sun Liqiang could finish his words, Sun Qingxia hit him with her elbow.
This stupid kid, why doesn’t he have any brains at all?
Sun Liqiang looked at his sister in a daze, his face full of doubt.
Ji Jianjun’s face was cold. Seeing that Sun Liqiang didn’t say anything, he raised his head and asked, “What’s wrong with rich people?”
Sun Liqiang touched his head and looked at his sister, not daring to say anything.
Sun Qingxia pushed him in a bad mood, “Say it, you’re always like this. When I asked you to shut up, you kept babbling. Now that I told you to speak, you’re quiet as a mouse. No wonder no girl likes you!”
As she said this, Sun Qingxia angrily placed the teacup next to Sun Liqiang and went down to cook.
Sun Liqiang then looked at Ji Jianjun embarra.s.sedly and said, “He said that there’s a crisis now. Many rich people in the south owe a lot of money and were forced to jump off the building.”
Hearing this, Ji Jianjun’s body suddenly froze.
Sun Liqiang himself was not liked by others. He hurriedly jumped off the heated brick bed, “Then, Brother-in-law, I’ll leave first. It’s time to go home and eat…”
“Wait a moment!” Sun Liqiang had just walked to the door when Ji Jianjun called out to him again.
With a stiff face, he turned around and looked at Ji Jianjun, “Bro… what is it, Brother-in-law?”
“Where did you see him?”
Sun Liqiang heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s at the entrance of Yucai Middle School.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Seeing this, Sun Qingxia shouted from behind, “Leave after eating?”
Sun Liqiang didn’t answer and ran away as if he was running for his life.
The age difference between him and Sun Qingxia was quite big. His brother-in-law had been controlling him since he was young. He was really a little afraid of this brother-in-law, Ji Jianjun. He was even more powerful than his father!
Sun Qingxia sighed, “When will he be sensible? He’s always running around randomly.”
As they were talking, Ji Jianjun also walked towards the courtyard.
“Where are you going?” Sun Qingxia put the dishes on the ground and asked.
Since Liqiang didn’t eat at home, there was no need to cook so early.
It was only ten o’clock!
“I’m going to the small shop to make a phone call,” Ji Jianjun said without knowing how to turn his head as he walked out.
Sun Qingxia understood that Jianjun had listened to Liqiang’s words.
Speaking of which, ever since Third Brother and Second Brother fought and ran back to the south, he had never called back.
Jianjun couldn’t help but call him once, but Shen Mei blocked him.
Did something really happen to Third Brother?
In the small shop, Ji Jianjun listened to the busy tone on the phone, his heart beating fast.
What’s going on? Why isn’t Third Brother picking up?
When he called for the third time, the other end finally picked up.
Ji Jianjun heaved a sigh of relief, “Jianguo? What’s wrong with you?”
A gentle voice came from the other end of the line, “It’s Big Bro!”
It was Shen Mei, and Ji Jianjun was even more relieved.
“Yeah, let Jianguo answer the phone. I have something to say to him.”
Shen Mei chuckled, “Big Brother, don’t call me again in the future. Ji Jianguo and I have already divorced. As for where Ji Jianguo went, I don’t know. He’s now a beggar, I reckon he can only go back to his hometown!”
Divorced? Beggar? Ji Jianguo felt like a bolt from the blue had struck his head.
“How did you guys get divorced? Besides, you guys haven’t come back yet. How are you going to get a divorce?” Didn’t the divorce have to be handled at the place where the household registration was?
The last time the two of them came back, they were still fine.
Shen mei sneered, “He has already signed the agreement. When I’m free, I’ll go back and get the certificate. Big Brother, I won’t talk to you anymore. You can ask Ji Jianguo about the details!”
As she said that, Shen Mei hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that was hung up, Ji Jianguo was stunned.
A moment later, he came back to his senses and tried to call again, but the call could not get through.
After paying the money, Ji Jianjun went home anxiously.
However, he did not go back to his own home, but to his mother’s place.
When he went, he also called his Second Brother along.
No matter what, they were still a family, so he had to think of a way.
It had been so long. No matter how angry his Second Brother was, he should have calmed down by now, not to mention that his Third Brother was now down and out.
“Oh my G.o.d, it must be that b*tch, Shen Mei! How did my good son become a beggar? When my son was rich, she shamelessly rushed him. When my son ran out of money, she divorced him?”
Xu Xiuhua slapped her thigh and said hatefully, “This b*tch, my good son was ruined by her!”
Ji Jianjun had a headache, “Mother, now is not the time to talk about this. We have to hurry and find Third Brother. Who knows what might have happened!”
He had been living in the open for many days without a full meal.
“Second Brother, go home and get on your bike. Come with me to the county to look for him!” Ji Jianjun said and was about to get up to go home and ride his bike.
But unexpectedly, Second Brother directly refused, “Big Brother, if you want to go, just go. I’m not going anyway!”
“What?” Ji Jianjun suspected that he had heard wrong. “It’s been so long, and you still remember it, Second Brother? At least we are biological brothers of the same mother!”
“What biological brothers? Did he think of me when he had money? Now that he has no money, he wanted to look for me! I won’t change my word, I’m not going!” As Ji Jianye spoke, he had already stood up, “I still have to go farming. I’m busy in the field!”
