The following month.
Sister Ji gave birth to her third daughter. She contacted her adopter before she was born. She was a pair of teachers in her thirties who had no children. When she came to the hospital, she bought fruit and gave them another 5,000 yuan.
Brother Ji has always emphasized that they are not selling their daughter, they just hope that their daughter will live a better life and the family can't afford it, but they still accepted the five thousand yuan.
You have to spend money to be hospitalized, and there is still a little left after paying part, which is not a loss.
In this way, on the day the child was discharged from the hospital, the other party took him away. Sister Ji was discharged from the hospital alone and went home for confinement.
When Ji Shanshan saw her mother come back alone, she followed her and asked, "Mom, sister?"
"Give it away." Sister Ji, when she was young, thought she didn't understand anything, and she was upset, and complained, "I already have two girls at home, how can I raise one if I have money? Each one will cost money in the future. You still have a brother, how can you have so much money?"
She went upstairs and ignored Ji Shanshan. The other party was nine years old, not as ignorant as she thought. Looking at her mother's voice, her small eyes were contemplative.
Ji’s sister-in-law used to drink chicken soup and eat ribs during confinement. This time Ji’s mother was impatient, and lean cabbage became the norm.
The other party didn't make a fuss either, and his arrogance was much reduced. She hadn't given birth to a son, and she was still swallowing her anger, ready to continue her pregnancy, she must vent her breath, she must give birth to a son!
Ji Miaomiao still didn't understand anything. When the two sisters were playing in the mud together, they said to her, "Sister, when do we have a younger brother? Why hasn't my mother given birth to a younger brother?"
Ji's mother often said that everything in the house belongs to her younger brother, and she will love her younger brother in the future, and her mother will have to give birth to a younger brother. What does the girl do with this money?
"I don't want to have a brother." Ji Shanshan squatted down and muttered, playing with a toy shovel.
"Mom said she must give birth to a younger brother." Ji Miaomiao said to her.
Ji Shanshan: "I don't want to."
These words were learned by Ji's mother. That night, the other party took Ji Shanshan with a clothes rack, and his hands were covered with blood stains, one after another purple and blue.
Ji Miaomiao was still young and didn't understand anything, so she could only cry from the side of fright.
Brother Ji has been at home these past two days. He loves Ji Shanshan. Ji Shanshan keeps crying and wants to wait for her father to come home. Brother Ji turned dark when he came back and asked, "What is this? How young is the child? What do you do to beat her?"
"What did I beat her for? What did you ask her to say? At a young age, I think you are cursing your mother for not having a brother. If you can't, it's useless to raise you!" Ji Mu was angry. I can't wait to poke Ji Shanshan's forehead and curse, "No wonder your mother can't give birth to a younger brother, you must be making trouble."
"I didn't." Ji Shanshan continued to cry, looking aggrieved at her father.
What do kids know? She only knew that her younger brother and younger sister might have nothing when they were born, and might not be able to go to school.
Brother Ji, who had indulged him in the past, also lowered his face, his face was unhappy, and he cursed her a few more words, almost brute force to carry her upstairs.
Sister Ji was pregnant with five daughters and gave birth to three. When Ji Shanshan heard that she didn't want her to give birth to a younger brother, she became upright and slapped her with a slap in the face.
Ji Shanshan was so frightened that he cried. Big Brother Ji saw that his daughter had a nosebleed, and he couldn't help but reprimanded her, "What kind of fire do you use with the child? Is it sick?"
Sister Ji yelled, and she didn't like this eldest daughter.
April 4th, Ching Ming Festival.
The Tian family is going back to sweep the grave, and Ji Huai's family will also go back to Ji's family.
Tian Jing is not afraid that Ji's mother will make things difficult, but she turned her head and left. There are relatives in the family. In view of the previous winds, Ji's mother did not dare to make troubles and could only ignore it.
Ji Tianqi is over three years old. Today, she is wearing a sweater stitched mesh skirt, with pearls and exquisite bows embroidered on her chest. Tian Jing also braided her with a small braid, which looks very foreign and white. It grows tall and fleshy, which is very pleasing.
Ji Huai was holding Ji Tianyi in his arms. He was six months old, and his flesh was white and tender, and he was well taken care of by Tian's mother. He wore a small hat on his head and nestled in his father's arms obediently.
The two children in their family are so cute that their relatives looked greedy and wanted to go up and hug them.
A cousin gave birth to two sons, and she liked it when she saw it. He took Ji Tianyi from Ji Huai’s arms, made her laugh, and said to Ji Huai,
Tsk tusk, the children born to your husband and wife look more beautiful than the other. ."
"Follow her mother." Ji Huai was not humble, and smiled back.
The sister-in-law looked at Tian Jing who was helping, but she did not deny it. The locals are more or less xenophobic, but Ji Huai married this one not only for graduating from a key university, but also for making a lot of money in the past. Recently, she heard some gossip and didn't know what Ji's mother was picking about.
Tian Jing is always better than the big-chested sister-in-law Ji.
while eating.
The sister-in-law called her two sons to come over, one more naughty than the other. She was holding the well-behaved Ji Tianyi. Seeing that her two sons were the same as those of the wild horse, she couldn't help having a headache. If you refuse to be obedient, you will me off every day!"
The sister-in-law Ji was eating and flaunting and saying, "Just one meal. Our family Shanshan used to be a lot of trouble? Isn't she obedient now? Children are wild, just be honest with a few meals."
Ji Shanshan was also eating at the table. She buried her head in the bowl, eating her meal quietly, her eyes dimmed.
When the duck was put on the table, Sister Ji chose a piece and threw it in her bowl, raising her voice,
Hurry up and do your homework. If you don’t read, go to the restaurant to wash dishes to earn money and raise your sister.
Ji Shanshan lowered her head and continued to eat. After eating, she quietly left the table. Sister Ji asked her to take her sister home again, so that she would not be lazy and quickly teach her to do homework.
Tian Jing looked at the "behaved" Ji Shanshan, and always felt something was wrong. The other party used to be noisy. The temperament may follow Big Brother Ji, reluctant and savage, running around barefoot, like a tomboy. As for children, it's normal to be naughty when they are young.
Sister Ji talked about her "Parenting Classics" and plans, "Don't read it if you can't go on, and go out to work after junior high school, make money and raise her younger sister, and we will relax for the older ones."
She is ready and has already given birth to two daughters. When they give birth to a son, the daughters will almost go out to work. Two daughters raise a son, so they don't have to work hard.
Tian Jing doesn't quite agree with her statement, so she should read more, what will she do after not studying? But she did not refute. When she returned, she looked at Ji Shanshan, who was lying in the living room doing her homework, and gave her the box of milk she bought.
She would often buy food for the two sisters before, but they were all milk cakes. She didn't come back this year during the Chinese New Year, but she also bought some food for Ji Huai to bring back.
"Thank you auntie." Ji Shanshan became very polite and thanked her.
Tian Jing hugged Ji Tianyi and sat next to her. Seeing that she didn't know how to do exercises, she leaned forward to teach her. She studied a lot more seriously. After teaching that problem, she turned to the first few pages and looked at her with clear little eyes. "Auntie, I don't know this question either."
Sister Ji and Brother Ji don't care about their children's learning at all. Whether they can learn well, it really depends on their talents.
"Let me see." Tian Jing leaned over and told her in detail.
Ji Shanshan looked at Ji Tianyi in her arms, clean and fleshy, and smiled, "My sister is so beautiful."
Tian Jing also smiled, changed her position to hug her daughter, and took her daughter's hand to say hello to Ji Shanshan. The little baby grinned and the crystal clear saliva flowed down.
Ji Huai went to talk to Ji's father and Ji mother about going for a physical examination. He gave them a physical examination card and asked them to spare time. He took them for a full-body examination.
When the two heard this, they jumped, and the mother of Ji was yin and yang strange, "If you don't have a disease, you have to find the disease when you go to the hospital. Why? I hope your father and I die?"
She asked Ji Huai to get a divorce, but the other party said it was impossible. After leaving, she would be a bachelor for a lifetime and vomit blood with anger. What is so good about that foreigner? Let him prefer to rent a house to live outside, keeping two money-losing goods.
"People need regular physical examinations when they are old, and even minor illnesses can be prevented in advance. Don't you and your dad always say that it hurts and that hurts? Then go take a look and try to feel relieved." Ji Huai persuaded.
The previous quarter mother died of pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic cancer does not develop in one or two days. Most of them have symptoms long ago.
As the king of cancer, pancreatic cancer is extremely difficult to treat and also very troublesome. Although he has bought insurance for them, he still wants the other party to check and pay attention to their health.
"I died, didn't I follow your wishes? I followed the outsider?" Ji Mu yelled, nonsense, "I wish I died early, and I don't know what I did. The son who was born will live for the mountain. , I didn't see my grandson, what's the use of being alive?"
This remark made Ji Huai very angry. He originally planned to take them there, but was scolded, seeing that he couldn't persuade them, so he could only give them the medical examination card, and then left.
Ji Mu didn't even look at any broken medical cards, and felt unlucky.
She felt that it must have been the idea of the outsider again. She was afraid that their illness would hurt Ji Huai. Now that she is well, the money her son earned was probably spent by the mountain people.
mid-year.
After more than half a year of hard work, Jihuai has integrated the company's products into a single line, has a firm foothold, and has a lot of right to speak in the company.
The boss appreciates him very much, and he also said that he should have a lot of prizes this year.
But Ji Huai didn't want this. As he became more and more influential in the entire process, he asked his boss for the position of vice president.
His ambition made Tian Jing stunned, because he was only adjusted once in March and increased by 15%. This time he was directly required to be the vice president. She was worried that people would think he was too ambitious. I feel disgusted.
Ji Huai didn't take it seriously, and even said, "We are just a cooperative relationship. The boss doesn't matter, sooner or later someone will help him. I have not done it for nothing in the past six months. I have been fighting for this position. He will not give me this position. You can find another place to find me a lot of headhunters."
"I have created value for the company, so of course it must be paid."
Tian Jing really couldn't refute him.
Ji Huai was not so serious before. After moving out of Ji’s family, he was not so random. As long as he didn’t break the law, he wouldn’t let him take a point. If she said it, he was justified and well-founded,
I’m so hard. Why? It’s not just to make money for my wife and children. If not, I might as well sleep at home. How can anyone do it for nothing?"
She can only show her support.
As Ji Huai expected, the boss still agreed to his request after thinking about it for a few days. He was promoted to vice president, increased a certain percentage of salary, and the year-end bonus was also increased. Xu gave him dividends for motivation.
The place originally rented was too small. Tian's father and Tian's mother came to help Tian Jing to take care of the children during the day. When there were too many people, it seemed crowded, so he started to move in the next six months.
I didn't move too far, but I was still in the same community. This time I rented an 80-square-foot small third house. The monthly rent was nearly 9,000. If I returned the house I had previously rented to Tian Mu, the price was affordable.
One room is for Father Tian and Tianmu, one room is prepared for Ji Tianqi and Ji Tianyi, and the rest is the master bedroom of their husband and wife.
The down payment starts at two or three million. Their husbands and wives will definitely not save up in the past few years. The cost of the children is too high. Ji Tianqi still goes to an international kindergarten. In two years, the youngest daughter will also go to kindergarten. .
Tian's father and Tian's mother have lived for more than half a year and are familiar with the surroundings. In the evening, Tian's mother goes to square dancing. In the morning, Tian's father goes to practice Tai Chi. Someone in the community teaches them for free. These are much more fun than his farming in the mountains. Up.
However, they have toiled all their lives, and the expenses here are high. They save money and feel distressed when they see the money flowing. The big cities have to spend money for everything, the rent is so expensive, and they feel guilty about eating and drinking for free here. They helped the two couples to do what they could do at home.
Tian Jing also feels sorry for Ji Huai to support her family alone. Every month, her bill is more than 20,000 yuan. Even though he gives her all the money and she also makes careful calculations, their family really doesn't have much savings.
When the youngest daughter could walk, Tian Jing began to make a resume, ready to go out to find a job.
Of course, the two elders of the Tian family agreed to let her go out to work. They didn’t know how much they could still help their daughter and son-in-law. The expenses in big cities were too great. They could help each other to take care of the children. They just wanted them to go out and make money quickly. Save some money.
In order to reassure them, Tian's father and Tian's mother are doing their best to take care of their two granddaughters. Tian Jing can do whatever they say.
They are not too old. Although Tian’s mother has undergone major surgery, she is recovering well. Ji Tianqi is three and a half years old. She has to go to kindergarten during the day and only pick it up at night. The two elders took care of the first and the younger. Get over here.
When Ji Huai first went to the new company, Tian Jing helped him with all the technical tasks. She learned the skills well. Although he could handle it later, she didn't stop and was learning all the time.
This time, she will also switch to a technical product manager position, because the salary is high, generally more than 20,000 yuan.
After Ji Huai became the vice president, he also had the right to speak in the company and could arrange her position, but Tian Jing was afraid of trouble, so she refused to go to his company.
Before the interview, he helped her supplement her knowledge. During this period of time, his progress has been leaps and bounds, and he is considered to be quite capable in this industry, and he has interviewed many people.
After she was fully prepared for a bad meal, Tian Jing only interviewed the two companies, and she had already received an offer with an annual salary of 280,000.
Tian Jing, who is busy with work and family, is in very good condition. She and Ji Huai are in the same industry, and they communicate with each other more topics. If the two are as sweet as glue when they are in love, they have a heart after marriage. Appreciation of mutual regret.
Tian Jing used to admire him for his good temper, sense of responsibility, responsibility, and good character. Now he has added another one. She has to catch up with his achievements in work.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Ji Huai and Tian Jing took their youngest daughter back home. Ji Tianqi followed her grandpa and grandmother back to their hometown. All this year, Tian father and Tian mother took care of her and they were very close.
She yelled to go to play with her grandpa and grandmother, but Ji Huai didn't stop him, booked tickets for them, and wanted her daughter to go out to see more.
The atmosphere of the Ji family this year is still solemn, because the sister-in-law of Ji is still carrying a daughter, this is already the sixth one, she can't fight anymore and still has to be born.
Ji's mother really has no patience. It is said that this child was a boy who prayed for God and worshipped Buddha and took Chinese medicine. They were all boys, but they were still girls.
During the meal, Tian Jing saw that sister Ji had completely lost her arrogance. Last month, brother Ji was outside with a waiter. This time she did not dare to make trouble.
"Is our family's Feng Shui bad? We have so many daughters." Ji Mu was in no mood when she was preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she played a little bit casually.
"Since it's fate, don't toss about it. You can raise everything well." Ji Huai poured a drink, placed it in front of Tian Jing, and looked at sister-in-law and brother Ji, and said sincerely, "The body is still important, boys and girls. Are they all their own children?"
If you are born like this, your body is gone? How many sins have you suffered?
"How are boys and girls the same?" Brother Ji poured the wine, suffocating one mouthful after another, in a bad mood, "I don't understand, all the boys born to me are girls."
It is not the first time that Tian Jing heard Ji's family say such things. She retorted from the beginning to now silent. Anyway, Ji Huai does not have this kind of thinking.
They will not regenerate, girls are harder to cultivate than boys, and they need more thoughts, and they can't afford them.
When she gave Ji Huai the soup, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Ji Shanshan looking at her parents shaking their heads and sighing, hurting her eyes, and silently bowing her head to eat.
Seeing this, she felt unspeakable. They thought the child was still young, but such an old child knew a lot. How sad should she hear it?
She looked at the little daughter in Ji Huai's arms. The other person was being supported by Ji Huai. She stared at her little feet in her father's arms and smiled happily. She began to rejoice that she was a daughter. They moved out because they were a daughter.
Both she and Ji Tianqi have made positive changes since leaving Ji's house, and even her relationship with Ji Huai is much better than before.
After dinner, the two couples did not stay. Ji's mother was in a bad mood. She began to say that she was not feeling well, her whole body hurts, and she started talking about life and death again.
Ji Huai ignored her performance, let alone listened to her urging her divorce, and said directly to her, "I heard my dad say that your stomach hurts a lot recently. I will take you to the hospital for a check in a few days. Don't take it seriously. Many major problems start from minor problems, and it will be too late to make you cry!"
The physical examination card I got back last time, the other party had already lost it. This time sister-in-law Ji is pregnant with a girl again. Mother Ji is lingering. She plans to go to the temple for a while and invite people to do it. She thinks it is mostly contaminated by bad luck. That's why she gave birth to so many girls. Their husband and wife looked good.
Ji Huai was shocked again, and Ji Mu obediently followed him for a medical examination.
This investigation is chronic pancreatitis, the condition is not mild, and this condition has been for a long time, now it must be treated with medicine, if the treatment effect is not good, surgery must be done.
Ji Mu was more afraid of death than anyone else, she felt soft when she heard it, and Ji Huai said nothing. He didn't ask him to get divorced or forced to live, and she stopped a lot at once.
Her life is more important than anything else!
Tian Jing also has many classmates who work as doctors. She asked a lot of people for Ji’s mother. After a period of continuous treatment, Ji’s condition is getting better.
With this improvement, Ji's mother began to be a demon, and she didn't take medicine on time, and she didn't care about her mouth. When the sister-in-law Ji gave birth to the girl, she went everywhere to find someone to adopt, just wanting to send it away quickly.
After sending it away, I didn't know where to find a remedy, so I started to let sister-in-law Ji drink it. This time, brother Ji also had to drink it, saying that both parties can take care of them together to give birth to a son.
I heard that it was very spiritual, but she wanted to drink it for Ji Huai and his wife. Tian Jing was not angry when she knew it, but just let it out, saying that she would not have a child. If Ji Mu can persuade Ji Huai to get a divorce, then get a divorce and let him Go find someone else to give birth, and she can raise her own daughter.
Ji Mu scolded Tian Jing at home every day, "This outsider used Ji Huai to take her family over, stand here, find a good job, and speak differently."
"What does she earn so much money without having a son? Isn't she working for someone else?!"
Brother Ji and sister-in-law Ji thought she was right. They were really pregnant with a son in this birth. Aunt Ji was proud, and said to Brother Ji triumphantly at the dinner table, "I don’t know what they think, no What does the son do so hard for? We only need to train our son to be better, and we don't need to buy him a car or a house. In the future, the girl will have it. Just like Mom said, let her parents work for us."
"Do you want to be married? I heard that you want to have a surname?" Ji Mu answered.
"Ruizu is also our son, and the surname is better. In the future, the property will be his, isn't it still ours? He still doesn't respect you?" Ji Sister-in-law is very precise.
"Yes, it's a big deal to give birth to a few more, and the girls will give them their surnames and coax them." Ji Mu felt that Sister Ji was right.
Brother Ji was very happy during this time. He thought the same as his sister-in-law. They would not find it hard to raise a boy, and they would not save money to buy a house for him.
Now that there are so many only-children in society, their sons will look for the only-child families in the future. When that time comes, all the property of the other's family will be theirs.
The sister-in-law Ji knew that she was pregnant with a boy, and her status at home was elevated. She didn't dare to yell Big Brother Ji before, but now she dares to yell, and Mother Ji said she dared to talk back.
Anyway, her great hero is the "Emperor" of the Ji family in her belly.
Tian Jing also followed Ji Huai back twice. The other party was proud, and she almost looked at her with her chin, as if they were not in the same class, and not in the same class. She was speechless, and she thought it was funny and ignored.
Ji's mother had greeted Ji Huai a long time ago. This time, the full moon wine will have to be dealt with. It is estimated that there will be about sixty tables, and all relatives and friends have to ask for it.
Tian Jing: ""
It's grand.
Father Ji also said that it’s not easy for Brother Ji and they don’t have much savings. They work as uncles and aunts, and they also help out. When the time comes, they will come back to help, and don’t let people look at jokes.
The old couple now see Jihuai and his wife more pleasing to their eyes. Anyway, their family will soon have the "root of life", so they don't have to worry about letting Tian Jing live, but she must also survive in the future!
As a result, the sister-in-law Ji had not yet given birth, and Ji's mother became ill again, and this time directly converted to pancreatic cancer. The other party had secretly stopped the medication, and perfunctory Ji Huai, taking his words with the doctor as farts, calming down in the joy that she would have a grandson soon.
This time, the onset was a few years earlier than the previous life. After all, Ji Huai was so angry that it was the mother who gave birth to him.
When Ji Mu heard the result, she passed out. Sister Ji gave birth to a child, but she didn't even ask. She cried all day and said that she must be saved.
Sister Ji and Brother Ji still think that their son can inherit the house. Ji Mu was panicked. It takes a lot of money to treat cancer. Although Ji Huai told her that she had bought insurance, she must sell the house and kept asking, "Is it better to use more money? Medicine? Mom doesn't want to die. You go and sell the house and sell it to mom for treatment. You must treat mom for treatment."
"The doctor said it was discovered early, there are many new drugs, and the imported drugs are effective."
For fear that Ji's family would not treat her, she repeatedly stressed that she wanted to survive.
The sister-in-law Ji was dumbfounded, of course she wouldn't let Ji's mother sell the house, didn't she say that she would leave it to her grandson? Before her wound healed, she came to Ji's mother, "Mom, where do we live when you sold the house? Where does your grandson live?"
"If you don't have a house, you can rent. Ji Huai rents a house, and the same goes for renting a house!" Ji Mu said plausibly. Pancreatic cancer is the king of cancer. What grandson does she care about? Whatever inherits the family, what keeps incense, is not as important as her life!
This house must be sold, sold immediately!
Ji's father hesitated a bit, but Ji's mother was very strong and immediately sold her, otherwise she would have to fight for life, Ji's father couldn't parry at all, so she could only agree.
Ji Huai has no objection. Brother Ji has been kidnapped by morality. How can he not save his own mother? He didn't have the money to pay for medical expenses, so he could only be an ostrich. Sister Ji cried and made trouble, holding the baby back to her parents' home.
But Ji Mu doesn't care about the grandson, she only has life in her eyes, and the full moon wine has long been behind her ears, just wanting to save money for treatment!
The Ji family’s house was actually in dispute. There was no land certificate, and even the house did not have a real estate certificate. It was handed down by the ancestors. This piece of land was a village before it was developed. Therefore, it was impossible to obtain a loan and could only buy it in full.
And because there is no certificate, most people don’t dare to buy it. The house price in the outer ring is 560,000 square meters. Ji’s family wanted to sell forty-five square meters at the beginning, but it was several million, but found that it could not be sold at all, and the price dropped If it drops again, I think it's the bottom line, and I still can't sell it.
When someone heard that there was no real estate certificate or land certificate, foreigners were afraid to buy it, and most people couldn't pay the full amount. The locals felt that there was no need to take risks. If you have this money, you might as well add some money to buy a commercial house and get a loan.
Houses without real estate certificates are sold at half discount or less in the market. Ji's father said that their family has land. However, there is no certificate for the land. Who knows what disputes will arise in the future, and how the national laws will stipulate that?
Ji Huai finally suggested not to sell the whole building. The apartment layout is not good and the price cannot be sold at any price. Instead, let the other party use it for seventy years and make a one-off payment agreement.
In the end, it was only sold at a price of just over 21,000, which was just over 3 million.
Sister Ji lived in her natal house and saw no one came to pick her up, so she had to go back in despair. She heard that the house had sold for several million. She now hopes that Ji's mother will die sooner and she can save some money.
They have sons, at least half of them can be divided into one or two million.
I heard that the cancer is dying fast. Some people died within a month or two after being diagnosed. Ji Huai bought insurance for Ji’s mother. It should not cost much. She hoped that Ji’s mother would die quickly every day.
Because Ji Mu was found early and treated well, she was somewhat under control.
She didn't think about leaving money for her son and grandson. Ji Huai had to give her the money to buy a house, and Ji's father didn't have a cent in his hands. Ji Huai bought her insurance, and she often used self-paid medicines. Now she feels that the more expensive medicines, the better.
As long as he knew what new medicines and which hospitals worked well, Ji Mu rushed over immediately, and didn't want to come back after staying in a hospital in the Capital Military Region. She doesn't trust anyone, only doctors, only expensive imported medicines, besides that, she is a magical remedy for swindling money.
In just six months, nearly one million was spent.
The sister-in-law Ji was dizzy several times, and the third daughter who had been sent out was sent back because the teacher and wife gave birth to twins and said they could not afford it.
Renting a house and raising four children, the two of them have a very good life.
Ji Huai and Tian Jing didn't worry about the Ji family's money for selling the house, but Ji's mother wanted to stay in the hospital forever, just like in an oxygen cylinder, for fear that they would die after leaving, leaving them helpless.
Anyway, the other party didn't believe in anyone. She felt that she had money and she could buy her life. Ji Huai's insurance compensation was also taken away by Ji's mother. :,,
