87 Chapter 86, Rumor
Among the numerous people’s social and entertainment news, there was actually a piece of economic news that talked about the financial crisis.
This reporter’s analysis was very profound. Ji Yuanyuan looked at it from the perspective of a latecomer and found that many of his views were very correct.
This crisis originated in the south and was just beginning, so many people in the country had not realized this crisis until now.
Of course, there were smart people who were well-informed and had long been prepared.
Just like the Qin family. Their family’s business was big, and many of their businesses were located in the south. Therefore, they had already received the news when this crisis had just started. Qin Haowen was a very business-minded person. He had long been prepared. Although he had not been able to avoid this crisis, he had already tried his best to minimize the Qin family’s losses.
Of course, these things were also told to Ji Yuanyuan by Qin Mucheng many years later.
There were smart people, but there were also people who were not smart.
Ji Jianguo belonged to the latter category.
At this moment in the Ji family, Xu Xiuhua looked at Shen Mei with pride.
“You guys have been married for more than half a year. Why is your stomach still not having any sign?”
Shen Mei’s hand that was holding the bowl suddenly froze. She thought of the child that she had miscarried.
She had thought that after that incident, this old woman would feel some guilt toward her and treat her and her child better.
But who knew that not only did this old woman not feel guilty, but she had become even worse this time.
Thinking of this, Shen Mei deliberately lowered her head and whispered, “How long has it been since that child was miscarried last time? I have to take care of my body in order to give birth to a white and fat child for Jianguo.”
At the mention of the miscarried child, Xu Xiuhua’s face did not show the slightest bit of guilt.
She already had a few grandsons anyway, so she was not in a hurry to carry them.
Moreover, it was not certain whether the child was Jianguo’s.
“You have too much on your plate? You’re still young, what is the use of taking care of your body? Our old Ji family doesn’t want a hen that doesn’t lay eggs. Hurry up and think of a way to get pregnant in the second half of the year, or else...”
Xu Xiuhua didn’t say the rest of her words, but she smiled coldly and tugged at the corners of her lips.
The meaning was self-evident.
Shen Mei pursed her lips and subconsciously looked at Ji Jianguo.
Ji Jianguo said somewhat impatiently, “Enough Mother, don’t talk about this anymore. I’m so busy right now, how can I have time to take care of the child?”
As he said this, he threw the chopsticks on the table in annoyance.
Shen Mei lowered her head and pulled the corners of her lips in disdain.
Ever since he made money, Ji Jianguo’s bad temper had not only increased toward her.
Seeing that her son was angry, Xu Xiuhua hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, Mom won’t talk about it anymore.”
Only then did Ji Jianguo’s expression become a little better. Then, he looked at his eldest brother, Ji Jianjun, and his second brother, Ji Jianye.
“If you want me to say it, Eldest Brother and Second Brother, you can just follow me this time. You don’t know that the south is full of money. What can you do if you farm at home?” When Ji Jianguo spoke, there was no lack of arrogance in his tone.
Ji Jianye didn’t like his third brother at all. He didn’t think much of him because he was good at his studies.
He originally knew that his third brother had earned money and bought a small car. He was still itching for it, but when he heard Ji Jianguo’s tone, he became angry.
“We don’t have the ability like you, Third Brother. We haven’t been favored like you since we were young, to be able to go all the way to university. We can only farm to earn a living, in the future, we could also only farm!” Ji Jianye said sarcastically.
Seeing this, Feng Yue anxiously poked Ji Jianye under the table a few times.
Previously, the couple had been muttering about letting the third brother bring them out to earn money, but they didn’t know how to say it. Now that the third brother had opened his mouth, why did this couple still not know the gravity of the situation and offend him?
Ji Jianguo didn’t like to hear this, he immediately frowned and said, “You can’t blame me for this. Since we were young, you did not like to study. When you were in junior high, you refused to go to school. Back then, if your grades were better, you might be the one to make a fortune today.”
Ji Jianye was angered by his words until his eyes turned red, “You...”
“What about me? You’re just a worthless person. A good opportunity has been presented to you...”
Before Ji Jianguo could finish his words, he heard a ‘bang’.
It was Ji Jianye who had flipped the table. When he flipped the table, the plate had smashed into Shen Lingxue’s face. She was stunned for a moment before crying out loud.
“Why are you crying? What right do you have to cry if you’re also a bastard? Third Brother, you’re a living bastard. What’s there to be proud of? Who in the village doesn’t scold you behind your back? “You think you’re great just because you went to school for a while and earned a little money, right? Instead of raising your own child, you’re raising a bastard from an unknown source! Go and ask around yourself. Where did this child come from?”
Ji Jianye’s resentment towards Ji Jianguo was not something he had been whining just for a day or two. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he blurted it out.
The last time Ji Jianguo and Shen Mei got married, everyone seemed to not care about what Li Yong said at the wedding banquet, but in fact, they all took it to heart.
Therefore, after the wedding banquet, there were people who knew people in Shen Mei village, so they naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to gossip.
They were all from the same village, so how could there be any secrets? As the rumors spread, they reached Ji Jianye’s ears.
The two brothers had been fighting since they were young. In the past, Ji Jianjun had always been in the mediating the fight. But this time, he had always been sitting on the chair, unmoving like a mountain.
The third brother had indeed gone overboard this time. He did not know the immensity of heaven and earth after earning money. Letting the second brother treat him was also a lesson for him.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuhua could only go up and try to persuade him, “Third Brother, don’t lower yourself to your Second Brother’s level. Hurry up and sit down, don’t be so angry...”
Ji Jianye’s eyes turned even redder when he saw that Xu Xiuhua was so focused on persuading Ji Jianguo that she didn’t even look at him.
Shen Mei had already carried Shen Lingxue to the side. She was both happy and flustered.
The happy thing was that she felt better when she saw that the Ji family wasn’t having a good time. The flustered thing was that the matter from before was finally over. Was it going to be brought up again?
After being persuaded by Xu Xiuhua, the anger in Ji Jianguo’s heart had mostly subsided.
He sat down on the chair, panted heavily, and said, “Second Brother, I know that you’re jealous of me because you see that I’ve become rich. Don’t talk about the past all the time. It’s your own lack of ability, so you can’t blame others. I’m not someone who doesn’t appreciate brotherhood. I came back this time to bring you guys to make money together...”
Ji Jianguo’s words were full of mockery. How could Ji Jianye not hear it?
His eyes were red, “Bullsh*t, I’m jealous of you? What am I jealous of? Jealous that you married a promiscuous B*tch?”
...
Shen Meirou said weakly, “Second Brother, how can you say that about me? I don’t know what you heard, but it must be all rumors.”
Feng Yue lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
She could naturally hear the mockery in the third brother’s words. She was hoping that her husband would say those things so that the third brother and his family would lose face.
