Chapter 227: You Are Still My Biological Mother!
Time moved forward.
When the family set off for the capital, Father Ji and Mother Ji took on a big responsibility.
Mother Ji was angry about her daughter’s pregnancy, but after thinking about how it was not easy to get pregnant, the anger passed. She wanted to go and have a look, but now there was no time.
She didn't have time to go, but this Saturday was a holiday, and so Li Zhi brought Ji Yunyun back. Mother Ji came across them in the village, and she brought them over to the old house first.
Ji Yunyun's stomach had been growing for almost three months. She didn’t show signs of pregnancy yet, but judging by her complexion, it didn’t seem to be going well.
Mother Ji was originally really disappointed with this daughter, but after seeing her like this, she asked, “Is it uncomfortable? Why do you look so bad?”
Li Zhi naturally wouldn't let his mother-in-law worry, and said with a smile, “Don't worry, mother. It's fine. It's just that she couldn’t eat for the past few days. There's nothing else wrong with her.”
Li Zhi was the son-in-law, and Mother Ji was really satisfied with him. After seeing that he had lost a lot of weight after getting married, she said, “Eat here for lunch today. Mother will cook something delicious for you.”
“Thank you mother,” Li Zhi said with a smile.
He knew that his wife didn't want to go to her third brother's house, but he wanted to go there for a while. He mentioned it, and he heard his mother-in-law say, “There's no need to go. Jianyun took Danhong and Renren and Qiqi to visit the capital and they haven't come back yet.”
“Visit the capital?” Li Zhi asked in surprise.
“Yeah, you shouldn’t stay in the village all the time, it's better to go out and explore the world,” Mother Ji said with a smile.
Ji Yunyun immediately exclaimed, “She thinks things are so good for her but when I got my dowry, she only gave me two thermos bottles!”
When Mother Ji heard that, she knew that she was talking about her third sister-in-law. Her complexion changed, but she endured it in front of her son-in-law, and said to Li Zhi with a smile, “Li Zhi, you should go to the mountain and catch a chicken. I will cook chicken for you at noon.”
“Okay.” Li Zhi knew that his mother-in-law wanted to dismiss him, so he didn't say much.
Ji Yunyun was his wife, but she was also his mother-in-law's own daughter. Wasn’t she going to teach her daughter a lesson?
Li Zhi recognized it. He had experienced it several times.
He then went up the mountain by himself.
As soon as the son-in-law left, Mother Ji's face sank, and she looked at her daughter and said, “Your third sister-in-law is living a good life, but it wasn't given to her by me and your father, let alone by you. Your third brother and his family live their own lives. If you have any opinions about it, then hold it in and don’t say it. It’ll make things uncomfortable.”
Her daughter no longer lived at home. Originally, she didn't want to say these harsh words, but this daughter was really behaving poorly!
She was still thinking about those two thermos bottles.
Her third brother made money, but what did that have to do with her? If they made a lot of money, why did they need to add it to her dowry?
The dowry came from the parents, and anything else was just a bonus. If she was more thoughtful, then Ji Yunyun would realize the influence her third brother and sister-in-law had on the entire family’s success.
This was real success! Everyone else was thinking far beyond what was in front of them.
Besides, Mother Ji and Father Ji gave this girl a good dowry, but she wasn’t satisfied!
“Mother, you still don't know how many nasty things she said to me when I came last time!” Ji Yunyun gritted her and complained. “I don't even want to go back to my maternal home now!”
“Don't let that happen again, and if you don't want to come back in the future, then don't force it, just live with Li Zhi,” Mother Ji said directly.
Ji Yunyun never expected her mother would talk to her like this. She was stunned for a moment.
“Let’s not talk about it. Li Zhi has only been married for only a while and he has lost a lot of weight. You are at home all day, have you taken good care of him?” Mother Ji said.
“He often eats at school, so why should I take care of him?” Ji Yunyun said unhappily.
Mother Ji glanced at her. “You should go out and buy a chicken to stew it, so that you two can eat it!”
Ji Yunyun said, “How is his salary enough for that? Now a chicken costs a few yuan!”
“A chicken costs a few yuan, but it doesn’t cost much to eat one a month. You can also buy pork bones to make soup. I see how your third sister-in-law often boils soup. Your third brother is so strong now,” Mother Ji said.
Her third daughter-in-law had the ability to take care of her third son. She was really good at cooking, and the dishes were not heavy, and she even made some pastries by herself. Sometimes Mother Ji and Father Ji could eat some of it.
She saw that her son's mental state was very good, and his body did not show any deterioration. This was due to Danhong’s care.
But Ji Yunyun didn't listen, and stated her purpose for coming. “Mother, send me a few chickens next month. And eggs, I want them too!”
If it wasn't for these things, she wouldn't even want to come back today.
She thought her mother would agree, even if there was not much to give, but she heard her mother say, “The eggs and chickens belong to your third brother. How can I do that? You can buy it yourself. If you visit when you are free, then it’s fine to take a chicken with you.”
What Mother Ji said was the truth. Although she didn’t care about how her sons and daughters-in-law ate, she couldn't use her third son's things to support the married daughter, especially not this daughter. Mother Ji would never give anything to her. The family love was still there though. If her daughter came to visit, she could indeed take a chicken back when she left. If she wanted a few chickens in a month or something like that, then what a joke.
When Danhong herself was pregnant, she didn't eat like this.
“Mother, you are still my biological mother. I am pregnant now, and I need nutrition!” Ji Yunyun was annoyed.
“Buy it yourself.” Mother Ji's expression turned dark.
“Buy it myself? If you give me anything in the future I won’t be grateful for it!” Ji Yunyun said.
Mother Ji was so angry that she didn't bother to stay with her. “You should be at home by yourself.”
After speaking, she also went up the mountain.
Li Zhi was already killing chickens, and Father Ji was boiling water. When he saw her come, he said, “How is one enough to eat? I asked Li Zhi to kill two.”
One was fried and the other was stewed.
Mother Ji didn't say anything, and took Yan'er. “You two are busy, I will take Yan'er to grab eggs.”
“Grandpa, remember to save some beautiful feathers for me to make shuttlecocks!” Yan'er said.
“Okay.” Father Ji said with a smile.
How could Ji Yunyun stay at home? In the end, she broke her word and went up the mountain. Su Danhong was not at home anyways!
“Father, you still love me!” Ji Yunyun immediately said when she saw the two chickens that had been killed.
Father Ji said, “Your mother is picking eggs.”
“It's delicious over there, so I won't go to where she is,” Ji Yunyun said. “Third brother has gone to the capital. I heard from fourth sister-in-law that there is Peking duck in the capital. I wonder if third brother will bring any back.”
