From Ji Qingqing’s attitude alone, Mother Ji currently didn’t dare to do so and she didn’t dare offend them easily. “How can any major event happen to me?!”
As they spoke, the doorbell sounded.
Father Ji went to open the door. It was Ji Chengxi.
“Chengxi, you’ve come back? Wife, Chengxi’s back.”
“He still has the audacity to come back?!” Mother Ji loudly shouted and her eyes looked around for something handy to hit him with. “Old Ji, go and catch him. No matter what, today I must break that leg of his!”
“Dad, Dad save me, I… Sis! Brother-in-law!” Ji Chengxi haphazardly ran into the room. Suddenly, he spotted Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing sitting on the sofa. As if he saw a ray of hope, he cried out, “Brother-in-law, you guys have to save me!”
Mother Ji gripped a feather duster with one hand and pointed it at Ji Chengxi. “What did you just call him? You know him?”
“I met him two days ago. Mom, let me tell you, the Internet loan matter got solved because…”
“Ke Ke!” Ji Qingqing coughed twice and interrupted Ji Chengxi.
When she heard him mention the Internet loan, Mother Ji’s stomach burned with rage. “You still have the face to mention about that Internet loan of yours?! Get out! I don’t have such a useless son like you!”
Ji Chengxi noticed the look his sis was giving him and understood. He quickly replied, “It’s resolved! The internet loan matter is resolved!”
“Over three million yuan and you resolved it? Are you tricking a ghost?”
“It’s true!” Ji Chengxi nervously looked at his mom’s feather duster and replied, “I reported it to the police two days ago and today they contacted me and told me that they’ve already started investigations so nothing will happen to me.”
Mother Ji was unconvinced. “It’s true?”
“Of course, it’s true!”
Mother Ji put down the feather duster. “I’m telling you, if you dare lie to me, I’ll beat you to death!”
Ji Chengxi let out a sigh of relief and looked over to Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing. “Sis, brother-in-law, why are the both of you here?”
Ji Qingqing didn’t plan on remaining at the house. “It’s nothing much. We’re preparing to leave now.”
Father Ji who was sitting at the side glanced at the two of them. “How about having something before you leave?”
Mother Ji glared sharply at Father Ji. Is he intentionally making her more frustrated?
“No, we still have something going on so we’ll be leaving first.”
While she spoke, Ji Qingqing pulled Lu Lixing’s hand and left the Ji house.
When the door closed, Mother Ji flung the feather duster down and sat on the sofa. She fell silent momentarily and then started to cry.
“What wrong have I done in my life to give birth to such a daughter?”
Meanwhile, Father Ji quietly explained the situation to Ji Chengxi.
When Ji Chengxi finished hearing, he helplessly looked at his mom.
It wasn’t the first or second time they quarreled because of money and now their quarrels were getting more and more outrageous.
He sat beside his mom and sighed. “Mom, you shouldn’t act like this. Sister has already given you enough over the years. Now that she’s going to marry, she will have to form a new family and start a new life. How can you still ask her for ten million yuan? By doing so, aren’t you selling your daughter?”
TL note: do note the ten million yuan is the TL of the original cn raw. The author could have possibly made an error (as Mother Ji changed her mind and asked for one million later) so I think it can be changed to one million yuan to fit the story context. All subsequent ten million yuan will have a short note to indicate this.
“It’s for the dowry! Your sister is such an outstanding person. Shouldn’t she be worth ten million yuan?”
TL note: the ten million yuan is the TL of the original cn raw.
“But you’ve asked for more than enough over the years. Sister is already getting married so you shouldn’t be bothering her.”
Mother Ji raised her head and looked at him in disbelief. “That’s your sister! And my own daughter! Why can’t I go and find her?!”
“You can find her, but Mom, in the future, can you stop seeking her out for money? There’s nothing that you’re lacking currently so why are you always unsatisfied?”
“I’m unsatisfied? I just want to ask her for some money; how is this considered as unsatisfied?”
“I’ve heard you every time you’ve asked sister for money; 30 thousand, 40 thousand, and one million yuan. The money used to buy this house – which of it didn’t come from sister? Now that sister is getting married, you still want a ten million yuan dowry? You’re being too much!”
