Chapter 31: The Ji Family Asks for Trouble 

Fu Liye was the head of his department, while Ji Dahai, his superior, was a deputy. However, Fu Liye and Ji Dahai were in charge of different areas.

Fu Liye often had to go out on missions, while Ji Dahai stayed in the office and handled internal affairs. But in terms of actual power, Fu Liye had more authority, while Ji Dahai only had a fancy title.

At his age, he basically had no chance to climb higher. Whether he could be promoted or not depended on Fu Liye’s willingness to promote him.

“My Qingqing saw Ji Xiaoyue here again today. That girl is our daughter, she’s not only uncouth, but also disrespectful.

If you’re with Ji Xiaoyue, both our families will be disgraced,” Ji Dahai had already thought of his words before coming.

Fu Liye straightened his clothes. He didn’t answer Ji Dahai, but pointed at his clothes, “Chief Ji, do you like this suit?”

Ji Dahai was talking about Ji Xiaoyue, and suddenly asked this, he was a little stunned, but he still nodded vaguely.

Fu Liye pointed at Ji Qingqing, “Comrade Ji Qingqing, do you know how to make clothes?”

Ji Qingqing, who was named, shook her head.

Fu Liye pulled the two children over, “Do you like their clothes?”

The three of them were completely clueless, they could only nod again.

Fu Liye smiled faintly at them, “The clothes we’re wearing were all made by Xiaoyue. She didn’t make any for you, did she? You probably don’t even know that she can make clothes, do you?”

Then, he asked Ji Dahai, “Chief Ji, is it Xiaoyue’s fault that she was switched at birth? Is it her fault that she was raised in the countryside?

She grew up healthy and safe, and she’s so talented, she can do everything.

You’re not only not happy, but you also slander her everywhere. Chief Ji, you’re so intolerant to your own daughter who you owe a debt to, I really doubt your attitude towards the soldiers in the army.”

After saying this, he looked at Ji Qingqing deeply, “Comrade Ji Qingqing, I also heard about you and Comrade Sun Jianbin. You said that our Xiaoyue drugged you. Tell me, what kind of drug is it?

If there’s such a powerful drug, it should be handed over to the state, it’s a threat to public safety.”

Ji Dahai was reminded by Fu Liye and realized the seriousness of the situation, he stood there dumbfounded.

Fu Liye was his direct superior, he ran to his superior and talked bad about his biological daughter, what would Fu Liye think?

He was still hoping to get promoted before he retired, so he could get the salary of a head of department when he retired.

But Fu Liye’s words almost shattered all his hopes.

Ji Qingqing’s face turned pale too.

She originally wanted to ruin Fu Liye and Ji Xiaoyue’s relationship, but she didn’t expect Fu Liye to bring up her matter with Sun Jianbin on the spot.

Fu Liye looked at Ji Dahai’s family and said slowly, “Chief Ji, it’s my business who I marry. Since you don’t recognize this daughter anymore, then don’t meddle in my business.

Only those who don’t meddle in other people’s business can live a peaceful life. Your family is so chaotic, it’s because you’re not focused on the right things.”

Then, he pointed at his clothes, “Xiaoyue’s clothes are really beautiful. You’ll probably never be able to wear clothes like this in your life, Chief Ji.”

Then he looked at Zhang Pingping, “Mrs. Ji, Xiaoyue is your child, born from your womb, mothers and daughters are connected by heart, how did your heart become so twisted?”

Finally, he looked at Ji Qingqing quietly and said sarcastically, “Comrade Ji Qingqing, you and Sun Jianbin have made such a mess, why doesn’t the Sun family come to propose marriage?

Are they not in a hurry? Or do they think you’re not their biological daughter, they’re not satisfied?”

After saying this, he took the two children inside and said to them, “Let’s go, let’s eat the dishes your Sister Xiaoyue made.”

Ji Dahai’s family stood awkwardly at the door.

Aunt Zhang came out of the house at this time, grinning and said to Zhang Dahai’s family, “Xiaoyue also gave me some pig head meat, she also made clothes for me, she’s really good at making clothes.

Chief Ji, why don’t you have any? Oh, you cut off ties. It’s okay, you have Ji Qingqing, you can ask your adopted daughter to make them.”

…

Ji Xiaoyue was completely unaware of what was happening in the compound.

After being sent back by Fu Liye, she worked hard with her aunt and cousin to cook pig heads and wash vegetables.

In the evening, Aunt Cui came over mysteriously, “Guihua, I went to my parents’ house today. It’s Li Dahai’s village, I heard that Li Dahai came back with his wife and mother today.”

Wang Guihua heard this, the movement of her hand brushing the pig head stopped, she looked up at Aunt Cui, “He’s back?”

Aunt Cui nodded, “He’s back. The fact that he found another wife in the city has been spread, and the village officials also went to his house. He brought the child and his new wife back.”

Then she added, “I heard that he was punished by the army. He can’t stay in the army anymore. He lost his job. Otherwise, why would he bring his mother, wife, and child back? My sister-in-law is the women’s director, she said she will bring some things to your house to apologize tomorrow.”

Wang Guihua got up nervously and turned to ask Ji Xiaoyue, “Xiaoyue, Li Dahai is back, should we prepare anything?”

Ji Xiaoyue turned around and went inside to give Aunt Cui some pig head meat, then thanked her.

Aunt Cui was so enthusiastic about telling them all the gossip in the village because Ji Xiaoyue often gave her some meat.

After receiving so many favors, she would be embarrassed, so she would diligently inquire about some things for their family, that’s how human relationships work.

Ji Xiaoyue was waiting for Li Dahai to come back.

She had calculated that the time was about right.

She had also guessed about Li Dahai’s ending.

He would definitely be dismissed from the army for improper conduct. This kind of thing…

It would affect the image of the military, and he would definitely be punished, even if his wife’s family was the commander.

Ji Xiaoyue guessed that after this happened, his wife’s family would want to distance themselves from Li Dahai.

After Aunt Cui left, Ji Xiaoyue pulled her aunt and Sun Dahua inside.

“Auntie, don’t let Uncle go to work tomorrow, stay at home and wait.” Ji Xiaoyue said to Wang Guihua.

She thought for a moment and said to Wang Guihua, “Auntie, we are the victims, so we need to act like victims. No matter what the Li family says, don’t be aggressive, don’t question them, at the right time, you need to act like a wronged and honest person, if they speak too harshly, you need to act like you’re compromising.”

Wang Guihua nodded when she heard this.

Ji Xiaoyue then said to Sun Dahua, “Cousin, you don’t need to say much, just cry appropriately after she apologizes. Then say you wish them well. Only if we act more forgiving, will the gossip be less harmful.”

Sun Dahua nodded, “Okay, I understand.”

Ji Xiaoyue took a deep breath and said to Sun Dahua again, “Cousin, we should leave after this is over.”

Sun Dahua nodded vigorously,

“Okay.”
