Chapter 136 He has a guess

"Well, don't you think she's interesting?"

Ji Xiuping admitted it openly and even asked his fourth brother in a good mood.

Hearing this, Ji Xiujing was stunned for a moment. He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what was it about Xiao Ju that made his elder brother find her interesting.

"Maybe the eldest brother has a more special vision."

However, Ji Xiujing did not say it directly, but instead expressed his doubts in more tactful words.

"She is quite special."

After saying this, Ji Xiuping stopped mentioning it. Instead, he took a serious look at the candied haws in his hand and said, "How could that woman be so kind to bring us food today?"

"Maybe it's not for us, but for Sister Ling and Xiaoju."

Ji Xiujing took it easy, but he was still prejudiced against Mu Daiyao.

Obviously, several other children in the Ji family have the same view.

Although Ji Xiuping had no objection to this, he turned around the candied haws, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "That's fine, Xiaoju likes it, it's a good thing she did."

Ji Xiujing's expression did not change, but he screamed in his heart: Brother, calm down!

If Mu Daiyao knew that the candied haws she gave out casually had actually attracted Ji Xiuping a little bit, she might have moved all the sweets to Xiao Ju.

The children of the Ji family returned home, but they did not see their father. They only saw Mu Daiyao sitting in the yard in a daze while choosing vegetables.

"Where is daddy?"

It was rare for Ji Xiuping to take the initiative to speak when he saw Mu Daiyao, and his tone was not as vaguely hostile as usual.

Mu Daiyao blinked, and it took a long time to wake up from her daze, and then replied: "I don't know, I haven't seen him since I got home."

"knew."

Ji Xiuping nodded, and then walked past Mu Daiyao with a calm expression.

There was a strange peaceful atmosphere between the two. The other children of the Ji family who were walking behind looked at each other, and they all saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

Why is their eldest brother so weird today?

The village chief's house.

"Brother Ji, what do you want from me?"

Da Zhuang had just finished his work at home, with sweat on his forehead. Before he could rest for a while, Ji Zhixu called him out of the house.

Ji Zhixu did not speak, but first glanced at Da Zhuang indifferently. The depth in his eyes reminded Da Zhuang of the bottomless well at the end of his yard.

Even when he grows up, Da Zhuang still feels numb in his back every time he passes by that well.

Now Ji Zhixu gave him the same feeling, and thinking of what he said to Miss Ruan, Da Zhuang couldn't help but look away with a guilty conscience, and stuttered again: "Brother Ji,

Would you like to come in and sit for a while and have some tea?"

"No need, I have something to ask you."

Seeing Da Zhuang's appearance, Ji Zhixu understood somewhat in his heart.

The reason why Xiu Yun was making noise and causing trouble that night was probably because she had something to do with Da Zhuang.

"Brother Ji, if you have anything you want to know, as long as I can answer it, I won't hide anything."

"You promised me before that you wouldn't gossip about Yao Niang outside, right?"

Ji Zhixu didn't go around in circles with Da Zhuang and spoke straight to the point.

"Yes, I swear, Brother Ji, I have never mentioned this matter to outsiders!"

Da Zhuang originally wanted to swear an oath, but after thinking about it again, he was not sure whether Miss Ruan knew about this or not, so he retreated with a guilty conscience.

"Then why did Xiaoyun hear these gossips?"

"Xiao Yun? It's impossible. It was just me and Miss Ruan there at that time, there was no third person."

Hearing this, a surprised look appeared on Da Zhuang's face, which didn't look like he was faking it.

Ji Zhixu frowned, a hint of disgust appearing in his eyes.

Sure enough, she has something to do with that girl Ruan, and I don’t know what she told Xiaoyun behind her back to make Xiaoyun have such a big opinion against Yao Niang.

"Brother Ji, I really didn't lie to you. It was Miss Ruan who told me that she knew about this, so I sighed in front of her."

Da Zhuang also knew that he was in the wrong. After he said this, he hung his head in frustration.

"She said she knew about it?"

Ji Zhixu immediately realized something was wrong, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Yeah, I find it strange too, but it must be like what Miss Ruan said, she has a very good relationship with Mrs. Ji, so Mrs. Ji didn't hide it from her."

But Ji Zhixu was not an outsider, and he was not deceived by Ruan Hantong's hypocrisy, so he knew that Yao Niang definitely did not tell him about this matter.

Thinking of the girl in the bright yellow dress mentioned by the gangster, Ji Zhixu had a vague guess in his mind.

"Da Zhuang, Miss Ruan, is there anything else you can say?"

Ji Zhixu did not alert the enemy, but chose to continue asking.

"I didn't say anything." Da Zhuang frowned and thought about it carefully. He found that he really hadn't heard any definite news from Miss Ruan. He scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "It's strange. What if Ji

If Madam and Brother Ji didn't tell Miss Ruan, how did Miss Ruan know?"

Seeing Da Zhuang's confused look, Ji Jiuzhi simply raised a possibility, "Maybe she heard it in the Yamen that day?"

"It's impossible. I was the only one in the village who went to the Yamen that day. Even my father didn't go."

Da Zhuang didn't even think about it and just waved his hand to deny it.

"I see."

Ji Zhixu had already gotten the news he wanted. He responded lightly, then reached out and patted Da Zhuang on the shoulder, indicating that he could go back.

Then he turned around and left without saying a word.

Da Zhuang was left standing there, and Monk Zhang Er was confused until the village chief's confused voice came from behind him.

"Da Zhuang? Why are you standing there in a daze?"

"Dad, it's okay, I'll come in right now."

After Da Dang responded loudly, he closed the door. He thought silently in his heart that he must be stricter when meeting Miss Ruan in the future and never talk casually again.

It's just that Da Zhuang is a little curious. Is it possible that Miss Ruan's relationship with Brother Ji and his family is not as close as she said?

After Ji Zhixu walked for a while, he slowly stopped. When he saw the Ruan family not far away, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Didn't he tolerate Miss Ruan before just because he felt there was no need to waste time and energy on unimportant people.

Now that the other party has provoked Yao Niang and even done things to hurt Yao Niang, if Ji Zhixu endures it, it will only make this kind of thing get worse.

"Brother Xu!"

Just when Ji Zhixu was about to visit directly, Ruan Hantong's voice sounded behind him, which sounded a little surprised.
