Chapter 613: Somewhat Unfair
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Yuanyuan looked on and was about to go forward to persuade Li Jie when she was suddenly startled by a sharp voice.
She turned her head and saw a woman on the street shouting at a passing car.
The woman’s hair was unkempt, and her clothes were tattered. She was wearing a pair of cloth shoes, and the soles of her shoes were about to fall off.
It was evident that this woman’s mental state was not quite normal.
Ji Yuanyuan was not curious about such people.
Just as she was about to retract her gaze, she saw a spirited old lady walking toward the woman in small steps not far away.
“I told you not to run around, but why didn’t you listen? Return home right now!” The old lady scolded the woman sternly.
The woman saw the expression on the old lady’s face, and was a little frightened.
Ji Yuanyuan frowned and looked at the old lady.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
Wasn’t this spirited old lady Liang Yufang’s mother?
The Liang Yufang who was engaged to Eldest Uncle back then.
At the thought of this, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the woman again.
Although the woman’s face was dirty and her hair was messy, covering half of her face, Ji Yuanyuan recognized her.
This person was Liang Yufang.
Didn’t they say Liang Yufang was married? Why did she become like this? What happened in between?
Ji Yuanyuan was still curious when she heard Li Jie’s howl.
She turned her head and saw Li Jie sitting on the ground. His legs were rolling on the ground, and he was shouting, “Give it to me, give it to me…”
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan was looking at him, Li Xiang subconsciously reached out his hand to pass the bubble-blowing toy to Li Jie.
Ji Yuanyuan frowned and quickly stepped forward to hold Li Xiang’s hand, “Don’t give it to him.”
When Li Jie heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, he was stunned for a moment before crying even harder, “Bad person, Ji Yuanyuan, you’re a bad person. I don’t like you anymore.”
Ji Yuanyuan was so angry that she laughed, “Does not satisfy your unreasonable demands make me a bad person? Then, in this world, other than your parents and grandparents, are everyone bad people?”
Li Jie naturally did not understand Ji Yuanyuan’s words. He simply lay on the ground and rolled around, “No, give it to me, give it to me quickly.”
Li Xiang hesitantly pulled Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, “Sister, why don’t I just give it to him? I’ll buy it another day. If Mom sees him like this, she’ll scold me again.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll back you up,” Ji Yuanyuan said immediately. “You didn’t do anything wrong. Why should she criticize you?”
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Jie and asked coldly, “Aren’t you going to get up? I’ll count to three. If you don’t get up by then, we won’t wait for you.”
Li Jie was still wailing as if he had not heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words.
“One, two, three…” Ji Yuanyuan counted the numbers seriously.
When she counted to three, she paused for a moment.
Li Jie still didn’t react.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed and pretended to be helpless, “Forget it if he doesn’t want to go home. Let’s go home first.”
She brought Li Xiang and Li Nian as she spoke and headed home.
She had only taken a few steps when Li Jie stood up from the ground.
He ran all the way to Ji Yuanyuan’s side. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pushed Ji Yuanyuan’s body before turning around and running away.
He was only a five-year-old kid, so naturally, he could not push Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan stood on the spot without moving an inch.
Li Jie ran far away and shouted, “You’re all bad people. You’re all bullying me. I’m going to tell Mother and let her hit you.”
Hearing Li Jie’s words, Ji Yuanyuan’s expression turned cold.
This child was too spoiled and lawless.
Seeing this, Li Xiang looked at Ji Yuanyuan in fear, “Sister, what if Mom hits me?”
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll stand in front of you if Auntie hits you.” Li Nian said to Li Xiang as she patted her chest.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled with a straight face.
Sometimes, the favoritism of parents would directly affect the relationship between siblings.
Originally, Li Xiang and Li Jie were the closest people in this world besides their parents.
But in Li Xiang’s heart, Li Jie was probably far less important than Li Nian.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed. She felt Meng Xiaoning was too muddle-headed.
With a heavy heart, she walked back with the two children.
When she raised her head again, Liang Yufang had already been dragged away by her mother.
Her back was hunched, and her arm was being pulled by someone. She staggered as she walked.
She looked like she was going to fall down the next moment, but miraculously, she stood still.
Even after walking for a long distance, she was still standing steadily.
Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and stopped caring about Liang Yufang.
The grudge between the Li family and the Liang family had long ended on that winter day.
Whether or not Liang Yufang was doing well had nothing to do with them.
Ji Yuanyuan had just arrived at the door with the two children. Before they entered the house, they heard Li Jie’s crying from afar.
He cried his heart out as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Li Xiang couldn’t help but hide behind Ji Yuanyuan when she heard the commotion.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed and reached out to hold Li Xiang’s hand, bringing her into the house.
In the living room, Li Jie was sitting on the floor, his legs rubbing against the floor as he cried, “Sister hit me, and Brother hit me too. They all hit me, and they don’t give me the blow-bubbles…”
Meng Xiaoning was right beside him, reaching out to hug him.
However, he moved so hard that Meng Xiaoning had no way to move.
Li Lei stood at the side with an awkward expression.
The rest of them were still sitting at the table, and their expressions were a little difficult to describe.
When Meng Xiaoning saw Li Xiang come in, she asked coldly, “You hit your Brother?”
Li Xiang shrunk her neck and hid behind Ji Yuanyuan again, “No, I didn’t hit him.”
Li Nian also helped Li Xiang testify, “He lied. We didn’t hit him.”
Meng Xiaoning couldn’t lose her temper at Li Nian, so she asked Li Xiang again, “Where are the bubble-blowing toys? Quickly give it to your younger brother and let him play with it for a while.”
Li Xiang slowly stretched out her hand. In her hand was the bubble-blowing toy.
Meng Xiaoning came forward and was about to take the toy from Li Xiang’s hand.
“Eldest Aunt, Li Xiang is right about this. I don’t think you should handle things like this. It’s a little unfair.” Just as Meng Xiaoning was about to take the toy from Li Xiang’s hand, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly stood in front of Li Xiang and blocked her way.
No one present had expected Ji Yuanyuan to say such a thing suddenly.
Therefore, the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.
Only Li Jie’s cries shook the heavens and earth.
Liu Guihua saw the awkward atmosphere and quickly came over to smooth things over, “Think about it. If you give your toy to your brother, Grandma will take you to buy another one now..”
