BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117
Ji Zixuan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head as well. He said in a low voice, “I didn’t see him either.”
Ji Jianjun and Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan immediately thought of the strange person he saw this morning. No wonder he felt that he looked familiar. Could that person be Ji Jianguo?
“Yuanyuan?” Ji Jianjun asked expectantly when he saw that Ji Yuanyuan did not speak for a long time.
Li Xu’s expression was also a little nervous!
Ji Yuanyuan came back to his senses and pulled out a smile. He said resolutely, “Uncle, I didn’t see him either!”
When Li Xu heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Big Brother, the children should have lunch and rest. They still have classes in the afternoon!” Li Xu said vaguely.
Ji Jianjun finally said, “Then I won’t disturb you.”
After saying that, he took a deep look at the three children and turned around to leave.
Even though he was Jianguo’s biological big brother, he had to admit that the children were much better off following Li Xu than following Jianguo.
Jianguo had not cared about anything since the children were young. Now, how could he expect him to change?
The three children were all clean with Li Xu, and they even had a house in the city. From what Li Xu said, she seemed to have opened a shop?
She now had the ability to support the three children!
After Ji Jianjun left, Li Xu was in no hurry to leave.
She sat down on a chair and called out to the three children, “Come over and eat, after you eat, take a nap!”
Ji Zi’ang was not affected at all. After sitting down, he picked up his bowl and started eating a big mouthful at a time.
Ji Zixuan looked a little hesitant. After looking at Li Xu for a while, he lowered his head and started eating.
Only Ji Yuanyuan smiled at Li Xu after sitting down and asked, “Mom, aren’t you going to the store?”
Li Xu calmly reached out and pushed Ji Yuanyuan’s bowl in front of her, “There’s no rush, I’ll go after you guys finish eating”.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and lowered her head as she ate. Could it be that she had exposed herself just now? Or could it be that Li Xu was actually waiting for Ji Jianjun to leave before leaving?
The three children finished eating very quickly. Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang washed their hands and went to the bedroom to take an afternoon nap.
Ji Yuanyuan stood in the living room and looked at Li Xu innocently, “Mom, I’ll send you off before I’m going to sleep. I want to lock the door properly!”
Li Xu took a step forward and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand. She said in a low voice, “Let’s go, Mom will lie with you for a while!”
Li Xu’s expression made Ji Yuanyuan feel a little scared.
After lying down, Ji Yuanyuan took the initiative to confess before Li Xu could say anything, “Alright, Mom, I’ll tell you the truth, I think I saw Dad today!”
“Where? When did you see him?” Li Xu asked calmly.
Obviously, she had known this result for a long time.
“Just this morning, when we were going to school, we saw a beggar dressed in rags at the school gate. I thought he looked familiar at that time. Now that I think about it, he might be Dad!”
Beggar? Dressed in rags? Li Xu frowned.
What was going on with Ji Jianguo? Why did he appear at the school gate dressed in tattered clothes?
“Why didn’t you tell Mom?” Li Xu asked again.
“I’m not sure either, and I don’t want to talk about him!” After Ji Yuanyuan said that, she took the initiative to go into Li Xu’s arms, “Mom, I’m so Sleepy!”
Li Xu stretched out her hand and gently patted Ji Yuanyuan’s back.
“Yuanyuan, remember this. Other than Mom and Second Uncle, no matter who goes to pick you up at school, you can’t go with them, understand?” Li Xu reminded him.
“Uncle Zhang Kun was not allowed to?” Ji Yuanyuan was indeed sleepy and asked in a daze.
Li Xu’s voice was very soft, “You can’t either!”
When Ji Yuanyuan woke up, it was already past one o’clock in the afternoon. Li Xu had long disappeared.
The three of them packed up and went to school.
When they passed by the school gate, Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously looked at the place where Ji Jianguo had laid down in the morning. However, it was empty there. There was nothing there.
At this moment, behind the vegetable market, Ji Jianjun looked at the person not far away who was in ragged clothes picking up vegetables and eating them. His eyes suddenly turned hot.
How could he not recognize his brother who grew up with him?
“Jianguo!” He couldn’t help but shout.
The man froze. After a moment, he didn’t turn back and immediately ran forward.
Ji Jianjun hurriedly threw the bicycle to the side and chased after him.
In less than a minute, he caught up.
He grabbed the man’s arm and took a look at his face. He felt his blood rush to his head.
This beggar was really Ji Jianguo!
“Jianguo, what’s going on? Why didn’t you go home when you came back?” Ji Jianjun asked with a choked voice.
Ji Jianguo swallowed his saliva and asked in a hoarse voice, “Big Brother, is there anything to eat?”
...
Half an hour later, Ji Jianguo sat on Ji Jianjun’s horse carriage at home. He was holding a bowl in his hand and eating in big mouthfuls.
...
Sun Qingxia, who was watching from the side, also felt a little sad. She advised, “Third Brother, eat slowly. There’s still food in the pot!”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law, thank you, Sister-in-law...” Ji Jianguo mumbled with his mouth full of food.
Soon, Xu Xiuhua came over. When she saw Ji Jianguo’s appearance, she immediately squatted down on the ground, “Oh my God, why is this b*tch, Shen Mei so vicious? How did he end up like this? Oh God, does she still want people to live...”
Ji Jianguo was completely unmoved by his mother’s wailing and only focused on eating.
Ji Jianjun was also a little annoyed by Xu Xiuhua’s constant wailing.
Sun Qingxia had been repeatedly tortured by her mother-in-law for so many years. Seeing that her husband and brother-in-law did not care, she naturally did not want to care.
Xu Xiuhua wailed for a long time but no one paid attention to her. She could only get up from the ground in embarrassment and sit cross-legged on the heated brick bed.
Ji Jianguo added three more bowls of rice in a row before he touched his stomach in satisfaction.
Ji Jianjun said, “Your Sister-in-law has boiled water for you. Take a good bath and change into clean clothes.”
Sun Qingxia quickly found a set of Ji Jianjun’s clothes. Fortunately, the brothers were of similar build and it could fit.
Ji Jianguo was inside taking a bath while Ji Jianjun was waiting outside.
...
At this time of the year, there was no place to take a shower in the house.
Each family prepared a big basin for a shower and took a shower in the bedroom.
Ji Jianguo’s body was really too dirty. Ji Jianjun changed the water over and over again until the fifth bucket of water until he became clean.
After carrying the last bucket of water out, Ji Jianjun was so tired that he was covered in sweat.
Ji Jianguo stood in front of the heated brick bed and wiped his hair with a towel.
“Third Brother, what’s going on?” After cleaning up, Ji Jianjun asked, “What happened to Shen Mei? Why did you two get divorced?”
They had only been married for a short while. How could their life be like playing house?
“Shen Mei ran away with someone else!” Ji Jianguo gnashed his teeth and said, “She transferred all my money and made me owe a lot of money!”
