44 Chapter 43, Second Uncle’s b.u.t.t
“What’s so good about the outside world? Do you think anyone can do business? Where do you get the capital?” Xu Xiuhua snorted coldly, “You’ve always been soft-hearted since you were young. You believe what others say. Do you think everyone is your mother, thinking of you wholeheartedly?”
Shen Mei could naturally tell that Xu Xiuhua was scolding her in the open and in the dark. However, at this time, she did not want to partic.i.p.ate in this mother-son war. She just pretended that she did not hear the meaning in Xu Xiuhua’s words and lowered her head in concideration.
When Xu Xiuhua saw her like this, she was even more furious.
Did she not understand her own son? If no one was telling him, urging him… How could he resolutely chose to resign?
“Mother, I know what I’m doing. You can rest a.s.sured about the money. I definitely won’t ask you to lend it to me. Right now, doing business can make money, what prospects can I have staying in this position?”
Xu Xiuhua’s heart jumped when she heard Ji Jianguo’s words. She suddenly thought of something, “Where did you get the money? Did you sell the house?”
Hearing Xu Xiuhua’s words, Ji Jianguo’s expression became a little uncomfortable.
“You sold the House?” Xu Xiuhua raised her voice and asked in disbelief.
Ji Jianguo didn’t dare to say anything.
Ji Jianjun also looked at him in surprise. “Third Brother, what’s going on? Did you really sell the house?”
Seeing this, Ji Jianguo hurriedly said, “Yes, I sold it, but I didn’t suffer a loss. That house was bought for 10,000 yuan. I sold it for more than 40,000 yuan.”
When Xu Xiuhua heard this, she clutched her chest and cried out, “You idiot. You were sold by others and you still want to count the money for them? How could I raise such an idiot like you? You sold such a good house.”
After saying this, she raised her head and looked at Shen Mei with a fierce gaze, “Was it instigated by a vixen like you? Do you really look down on our Jianguo?”
Shen Mei hugged Shen Lingxue, she said unwillingly, “Mother, you really should take a long-term view. Jianguo is now in the unit, and he only earns 600 Yuan a month. After deducting the living expenses and the children’s education, he really doesn’t have much money left in a month. Look at those people who are doing business outside. They earn tens of thousands of Yuan a month, and even hundreds of thousands. I think it’s not a bad thing for Jianguo to go out and explore.”
Feng Yue, who was beside him, curled her lips in disdain.
Before Shen Mei married the third brother, she didn’t even have a fixed residence. After marrying third brother, she became more ambitious. She didn’t even care about 600 Yuan a month.
She was trying to climb up the ladder. Just becareful that the higher she climbed, the worse she would fall.
Shen Mei’s words completely ignited Xu Xiuhua’s anger.
She stood up in a flash and went straight to Shen Mei., “You vixen, I have long knwn that you were restless. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d in your belly isn’t our Jianguo’s, why should I let him raise it?”
She went forward and grabbed Shen Mei’s hair, “You’re a s.l.u.t, a piece of trash. You’re not even married and you’re already pregnant. You still have the cheek to come into my house…”
Shen Mei’s hair was pulled by Xu Xiuhua, and it hurt.
Shen Lingxue in her arms was so scared that she burst into tears. As she cried, she even tugged at Xu Xiuhua’s hand.
Shen Mei protected her own stomach, but she still had to care about Shen Lingxue. For a moment, she was fl.u.s.tered, “Mother, let go of me, ah…”
Seeing this, Feng Yue quickly took her children and hid far away. The second son, Ji Jianye, had always been a person who did not care about anything. At this moment, he also stood aside and watched coldly.
The eldest sister-in-law, Sun Qingxia, also took a few steps back with her children.
The eldest brother, Ji Jianjun, and Ji Jianguo went forward, trying to pull the two of them apart.
But Xu Xiuhua was ruthless. They could not pull them apart no matter how hard they tried.
Shen Mei lowered her head. Her head hurt, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
Looking at the corner of the table in front of her, she hardened her heart and deliberately took a step forward.
Her stomach hit the corner of the table, and she held her stomach and slowly slid down, “Jianguo, my stomach…”
Xu Xiuhua was stunned when she saw this. “I didn’t push her. She hit it herself.”
Ji Jianguo saw this and became anxious. He quickly carried Shen Mei and rushed out.
Ji Jianjun looked at his mother with some resentment, “Mother, what are you doing? No matter how angry you are, you can’t be like this. Sister-in-law is pregnant. If anything were to happen to her, wouldn’t Third Brother be anxious with you?”
Although Xu Xiuhua felt a little guilty in her heart, she still said stubbornly, “I don’t know whose child is in her stomach. Maybe she deliberately b.u.mped into it and wanted to drive a wedge between us.”
Ji Jianjun sighed helplessly and also hurriedly followed Ji Jianguo out.
Shen Lingxue stood in the same place, crying out loud, not knowing what to do.
Xu Xiuhua gritted her teeth, “Crying, crying, crying, you only know how to cry. Your mother isn’t dead yet.”
The eldest sister-in-law Sun Qingxia was kind-hearted. Seeing this, she quickly went forward to comfort Shen Lingxue.
On the other side, after eating, Liu Guihua, Li Xu, and Li Miao were on the heated brick bed, preparing to make dumplings.
This was the custom in the countryside. A family had to keep vigil at night. After twelve o’clock, they had to eat dumplings. There were coins inside the dumplings. Whoever ate the coins would have a smooth life in the coming year.
Li Zhiming watched from the side with a smile. From time to time, he would chat with the mother and three children.
Li Yong, on the other hand, led the three children to set off fireworks in the courtyard. Ji Yuanyuan naturally did not dare to do so. She could only watch from the side.
The tiny double-bang firecracker was placed on the ground. Li Yong lit up the match and moved closer to it. Just as he lit up the firecracker, he turned around and wanted to run away.
However, who knew that Ji Zi’ang was standing behind him, peering out his head to look at the double-bang firecracker. Li Yong jumped in fright and sat on the firecracker.
There was a ‘bang’ and Ji Zi’ang cried out in fright.
Li Yong sat on the ground and looked at Ji Zi’ang. He gritted his teeth, but the pain made him unable to say a word.
Li Zhiming, Li Xu, and the others hurriedly came out of the house when they heard the sound.
It was a good New Year’s Eve, suddenly became chaotic.
Li Zhiming went to borrow a neighbor’s tractor and dragged Li Yong to the hospital.
Li Xu and Li Miao went with him. Liu Guihua stayed at home and looked after the three children.
Ji Zi’ang did not expect things to turn out this way, and he was so scared that he kept crying at home.
Although Liu Guihua’s heart ached for her son, she was also very distressed when she saw Ji Zi’ang crying like this, “Alright, alright. Your Uncle’s skin is rough and his flesh is thick. He’ll be fine. My dear, don’t cry anymore. If you cry again, you’ll break your eyes.”
Ji Zi’ang sobbed, “Second Uncle’s b.u.t.t must be very painful. I’m sorry for Second Uncle, and I’m sorry for Second Uncle’s b.u.t.t down even more. When Second Uncle comes back, I’ll let him blow mine up too…”
Hearing Ji Zi’ang’s words, Liu Guihua did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Yong’s injury was on his b.u.t.t, so naturally, his life was not in danger. However, he still underwent surgery. After all, there was explosive powder left in the wound, so he had to clean it up.
