Chapter 33: Something Happened at Home 

Li Dahai eventually managed to gather the money within three days and delivered it to Sun Dahua.

Actually, Sun Dahua was really easygoing.

No matter what, even if her marriage to Li Dahai wasn’t valid, she was still married.

Logically, any reasonable family would feel guilty, but Li Dahai was clearly not reasonable.

After giving the money to Sun Dahua, he said resentfully, “Sun Dahua, you ruined my job and got the money, are you satisfied?”

Sun Dahua looked at Li Dahai calmly, expressionless, “Li Dahai, you’re the one who got married outside, and you shamelessly brought the child back for me to raise. How is it my fault?”

Li Dahai sneered, “It’s a blessing for you, a country woman, to marry me. I’m doing you a favor by letting you raise my son. You’re not presentable, do you think I should take you out and embarrass myself?”

Sun Dahua had some sadness in her heart, but now hearing Li Dahai’s words, the last bit of hope in her heart disappeared.

“So taking care of your paralyzed mother and your son is a blessing for me. Then let your new wife have this great blessing. I’m unlucky, I can’t enjoy this great blessing.” Sun Dahua put the money away and turned to go inside.

Li Dahai was resentful and wanted to vent his anger on Sun Dahua, but Ji Xiaoyue, holding a basin of swill, directly splashed it on Li Dahai.

Li Dahai didn’t expect them to splash him directly, he was drenched from head to toe, he pointed at Ji Xiaoyue and Sun Dahua angrily and cursed, “You’ll pay for this, I won’t let you get away with this.”

Ji Xiaoyue pulled Sun Dahua into the house and slammed the door shut.

Li Dahai cursed resentfully, disgustedly patted the swill off his body, and turned to leave.

Sun Dahua burst into tears after entering the house.

She pulled Ji Xiaoyue and said softly, “Xiaoyue, am I really that bad? All these years, I’ve taken care of his mother, kept her clean, whatever she wanted, I gave it to her, it was all taken for granted in their eyes. Even now, he still thinks he’s right.”

Ji Xiaoyue pulled Sun Dahua, “Cousin, let him deal with his paralyzed mother, his baby, and his spoiled wife. We have our own beautiful lives.”

Sun Dahua nodded, “Xiaoyue, Li Dahai’s wife’s parents are a commander, will they retaliate against us after this happened?”

Ji Xiaoyue’s eyes moved slightly when she heard this, “Li Dahai’s matter just broke out, they shouldn’t retaliate immediately.”

Ji Xiaoyue had thought about the Li family’s retaliation.

Nowadays, individual businesses are looked down upon, money is not as good as power.

If Li Dahai’s father-in-law really wanted to use his power to deal with them, it would be very easy.

“Let’s use this money to buy a bicycle. We can tie a cart to the bicycle, so we don’t have to work so hard delivering goods.” Sun Dahua gave the money Li Dahai gave her to Ji Xiaoyue.

Ji Xiaoyue had also been planning to buy a bicycle these days.

“Cousin, this money is yours, it’s the money you earned for taking care of Li Dahai’s paralyzed mother these years. Let Auntie take the money for the bicycle from the money we made from selling pig head meat.”

Ji Xiaoyue stuffed the money back into Sun Dahua’s hand.

“Cousin, this is your own money, keep it for yourself.” Ji Xiaoyue didn’t take out the money she earned from selling the recipe.

The money from selling pig head meat was kept by her aunt because it was the money they earned working together, and one person was responsible for the accounts.

But their personal money, Ji Xiaoyue told them to keep it.

Just like her uncle’s salary from working, it belonged to their family, she had told her aunt that the money shouldn’t be put in the money for buying pig head meat and cold dishes.

Sun Dahua hesitated for a moment, then Ji Xiaoyue said, “You’re going to night school, you need to buy books, you need money for that, keep this money for school.”

Sun Dahua hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Ji Xiaoyue held her hand and said softly, “Cousin, we will be better and better. Now Li Dahai looks down on you, but in the future, he won’t be good enough for you.”

Sun Dahua nodded again.

…

After Li Dahai’s matter was resolved, Ji Xiaoyue was ready to go to the city with her cousin.

She wanted to find a house in the county soon.

She had also discussed going to the county with her uncle and aunt these days.

Her uncle didn’t want to go to the city, he had work in Anhe Village, but her aunt wanted to go to the county with her and her cousin.

She still wanted to make pig head meat and cold dishes with Ji Xiaoyue.

She used to farm and work, and she couldn’t make much money all year round. Now that she had the income from the pig head meat, she didn’t want to farm anymore.

Ji Xiaoyue and her aunt discussed renting a courtyard in the county, and they would continue to supply pig head meat and cold dishes to Jianguo Restaurant.

The three of them discussed going to the county to look at houses these days, but before they could go, Aunt Cui’s husband ran to their house to call them, “Guihua, Dahua, Xiaoyue, come quickly. Gensheng is in trouble, he’s in the hospital.”

Ji Xiaoyue, her aunt, and her cousin were working, they dropped their cleavers and spoons and came out, “What happened?”

Aunt Cui’s husband said to them with a pale face, “Gensheng was calculated, he was beaten and sent to the hospital, the doctor said he needs to have his leg amputated.”

When they heard this, their faces turned pale, they couldn’t care about anything else, they rushed to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Sun Gensheng had already been pushed into the operating room, the doctor saw the family members come over and said urgently, “The patient’s leg was crushed, it’s probably not salvageable.

But if he can be transferred to the Military District Hospital, maybe it can be saved.”

Ji Xiaoyue…

Ji Xiaoyue heard this and grabbed the doctor, “Is it too late to transfer him now?”

The doctor nodded and urged them, “Hurry and figure something out.”

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t care about anything else, she said to her aunt and cousin, “You stay here with Uncle, I’ll go find Ji Dahai, Zhang Pingping is a nurse at the Military District Hospital, she must have a way.”

Wang Guihua knew about Ji Xiaoyue’s relationship with Ji Dahai’s family, but at this moment, she also wanted to save her husband’s legs.

She knew it would be unfair to Ji Xiaoyue, but she didn’t want to bear the burden alone, she hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Ji Xiaoyue truly considered Sun Gensheng  as family. She thought things would get better, but she didn’t expect this to happen.

She didn’t care about being tough anymore, she went directly to the Military District Hospital to find Zhang Pingping.

She ran to the hospital, asked at the window for Zhang Pingping’s location, and went to find her.

Zhang Pingping was the head nurse at the Military District Hospital.

“Nurse Zhang, someone is looking for you.” Someone called out to Zhang Pingping.

Zhang Pingping saw that it was Ji Xiaoyue, the smile on her face instantly froze, she looked at Ji Xiaoyue with a grim expression, “What are you doing here?

You caused enough trouble in the compound, do you want to come to my hospital to make trouble?”

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t care how bad Zhang Pingping’s attitude was, she rushed over and grabbed Zhang Pingping’s hand, “Mom, Uncle’s legs were crushed, the doctor said he needs surgery at the Military District Hospital to save his legs. Can you help Uncle, he…”

Before Ji Xiaoyue could finish her sentence, Zhang Pingping interrupted coldly, “Ji Xiaoyue, weren’t you very tough?

You told me you wouldn’t come begging us?

Since you were so tough then, don’t come looking for me now.

He’s not your real uncle, what does his life or death have to do with me?”
