Ji Huai and Yin Cai were talking outside. The people inside tried their best to listen, but they couldn't hear. They only saw that both of them looked bad.

Yin Cai seemed to have scolded Ji Huai. The landlady's mother snorted softly and said to the man in the store, "She must be here to get money. Look what she is marrying. What kind of man is marrying blindfolded?"

This is good!"

"Handsome, good-looking? What's the use?"

....

Don't talk about the past. Even after Yin Cai got married and gave birth to a child, there were still many unmarried young men who were interested in her. It was really a waste.

Outside.

Yin Cai was indeed scolding Ji Huai. His fists were clenched and his eyes were full of anger. He kept asking, "You haven't taken care of her either. Have you taken care of her?"

She was also angry with herself for not noticing anything unusual about her daughter. The dance institution asked her to go to class this week. For the activities at the end of the month, only one person in the class, Ji Ziqing, did not attend and did not even come back to say anything.

"It's useless to talk about this now." Ji Huai frowned, still very anxious.

"It must be to save money. As long as you pay for the activities, she won't come back to talk about it." Yin Cai said, looking at him and saying each word, "Because she knows that I have no money.

Her father won’t give her any money either.”

Ji Huai felt guilty when she saw him, so he forced himself to say, "That's because I don't have money. If I have money, I will give it to you!"

Yin Cai said nothing and continued to look at him expressionlessly.

He didn't dare to look at her directly, he hesitated and said, "Yes! I told her last time to give her half of the money from selling shrimps. Didn't I forget that?"

Yin Cai was speechless, "Just lie to her, and she won't believe a word you say!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't want to say any more, and turned around to leave. Ji Huai stopped her again, took out the money he just took out from his pocket, and counted five red banknotes to her, "I didn't have any money before, but during this time

I just made some money, and you use it to help her register, but she’s the only one in the class who doesn’t go. That’s not good.”

Yin Cai was not polite and took it directly. He saw that there were several pieces in his hand, "You said you would give her half of the money from selling the shrimps. Don't you remember now?"

Ji Huai looked at the several red banknotes in his hand and hesitated.

"Give it to me!" It may be that his guilty conscience fueled Yin Cai's arrogance. If he was not allowed to take the money this time, there would be no chance next time, so her tone was much tougher.

"Here, give, give." Ji Huai stretched forward directly, "You have to tell her that I didn't lie to her!"

Yin Cai looked at his appearance, turned around and left.

"Remember to tell her!" Judging from this posture, he was afraid that his daughter would misunderstand.

Yin Cai didn't reply to him and went back to the store.

The eyes of the landlady's mother and several handymen fell on her again. The landlady's mother asked, "He's here to get money again? Don't give it to him. Even a grown man can't support himself!"

"No, he asked me to sign up for Ziqing's dance talent show. She is going to compete in the city." Yin Cai answered and put the money Ji Huai gave her in the bag under the counter.

The landlady's mother had just told the handymen that Yin Cai's husband had no future and that it would be better to divorce him and remarry casually. Now it seemed that it wasn't that bad, but she didn't know what to say.

Yin Cai contacted the teacher, learned more about the situation, paid the fee, and registered her daughter.

evening.

Ji Huai was waiting for Ji Ziqing to finish school at the gate of the town's central primary school. Because Yin Cai was often too busy, he picked up and dropped off his daughter quite frequently.

Primary school students came out one after another, and everyone hugged each other or chatted and joked. Ji Ziqing silently carried her schoolbag and walked out alone.

Ji Huai caught sight of her in the crowd, and she seemed to be in a low mood.

The little fat man Ji Jiadong and a few boys walked over and said something to Ji Ziqing. They laughed loudly and her head lowered.

Just when Ji Huai was about to step forward and ask questions, an electric car drove up next to him. Ji Tang's sister-in-law smiled meaningfully, "Is it your turn to pick up the child today? Don't you want to go drink?"

Among the relatives of the Ji family, Ji Huai's family is the worst off. What's the use of Yin Cai being so beautiful? It's not like she married this useless man.

Comparisons between the sisters are inevitable, and they also say a few ugly words to ridicule Ji Huai or Yin Cai.

In her opinion, Ji Huai was not only poor and lazy, but also decent. They lived in a high-rise building, and the other party nodded and bowed to them, thinking that having relatives like them was more respectable.

How stupid.

"Where are you going to drink? Brother Wei wants to treat me?" Ji Huai asked.

Ji Tang's husband's name is Ji Wei, and the couple are notoriously stingy. They won't even invite outsiders for a cup of tea, let alone a drink.

I saw Sister-in-law Ji's face change slightly, "...No."

"If you don't have that, what are you talking about? What?" Ji Huai's attitude was not that good, and he waved to Ji Ziqing again.

Ji Ziqing quickened her pace and climbed onto Ji Huai's small electric car.

Sister-in-law Ji took another opportunity and said, "It's time to replace your electric car. It's old enough."

Behind the scenes, they are saying that they have no money and want to get back the situation they just had.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huai didn't give him any noodles, but he dropped the sentence while backing up the car, "If you have time to worry about other people's affairs, why not buy an electric car for your eldest aunt?"

The car is older than mine, do you know how to speak?"

Who in the village doesn't know that Sister-in-law Ji Tang has a fierce temper and is mean and mean? Both husband and wife are the same, scolding their parents and looking down upon them.

Before the last word had finished, he drove away directly.

Sister-in-law Ji's face turned livid, she took out her temper on her son, and shouted at Ji Jiadong, "Come here quickly! What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, just walk back by yourself!"

Ji Jiadong felt aggrieved and ran over, his flesh trembling.

Ji Huai drove the car back and asked Ji Ziqing, "Did that fat guy bully you?"

"....No." Ji Ziqing responded softly.

"Why not? I saw it all. What was he saying when he left school? When I get the chance, I will definitely teach him a lesson!" Ji Huai was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he said this.

, I wish I could catch Ji Jiadong and give him a beating.

Ji Ziqing originally wanted to deny it, but when she heard her father defending her like this, she didn't know what happened. She remembered what Ji Jiadong said that day and the isolation of her classmates these days, and buried her head deeply.

Along the way, she didn't speak again.

Ji Jiadong said that her father was lazy, that their family was very poor, and that her father was an alcoholic. Hearing these words, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Grandma often told her that it was her father who made her mother's life miserable and that he was the sinner. If her mother had not married her father and had not given birth, she would not have had such a hard life.

When he returned, Ji Ziqing was boiling water silently. When Ji Huai saw Ji Jiadong walking past the door, he yelled, "Come here!"

She also looked up and saw her father with a sullen face and a fierce look on his face as he asked Ji Jiadong, "Little fat man, are you bullying my Ziqing at school?"

Ji Jiadong had nothing but a skin, and he was timid. After being yelled at like this, he stayed on the spot with his neck curled up, and his feet went limp and he replied: "No, no..."

"You still say no?" Ji Huai walked over with a face and warned fiercely, "If you dare to bully my Ziqing again, I will skin you next time! Do you hear that? No?!"

Ji Ziqing saw Ji Jiadong's face turned pale and ran away shivering. The tip of his nose suddenly became sore and she felt that her father was not that annoying.

Ji Huai came back and warned her, "Next time if he dares to bully you, daddy will definitely teach him a lesson and beat him until his teeth are all over the floor."

"Dad is bragging again." Ji Ziqing looked away and silently added firewood to the small stove.

"Dad is not bragging. When dad goes to sea and makes money, he will buy a truck. Then he will also build a house at home, send you to the market to study, and then buy a big house..."

Ji Ziqing listened to him quietly. Although she knew that her father's words were not very credible, she still yearned for that kind of life. If it were true, her mother would not have to work so hard.

Looking at the burning firewood, an imperceptible smile appeared on the little face.

The next day, when she went to school again, Ji Jiadong didn't dare to make fun of her anymore. He walked around when he saw her.

For the first time, Ji Ziqing felt that her father was really awesome.

The weekend came again, and the family had a good meal and returned to the house. Yin Cai and Ji Ziqing talked about going to dance class, but she didn't want to go to the dance class anymore. She wanted to go to sea with her father.

Ji Huai was counting the money he got from selling fish today. He raised his head and said, "Dad will go to sea before dawn. I can't take you there. You go to class. Mom has signed up for you. Didn't you say you are going to compete in the city?"

Yin Cai also quickly said, "Yes, my mother met Doudou's mother that day, and Doudou also went there, so she told the teacher."

"I don't want to go." Ji Ziqing lowered her head and held her little finger.

"Let's go to the city to have some fun. Dad and your mother will go and see it then." Ji Huai sorted out a stack of money and counted it again.

As soon as I heard that my parents would also go to see it, Ji Ziqing looked up again, "...If you can't win the prize, you still have to spend money."

In fact, she still wanted to go, everyone was there, she could wear beautiful clothes, and she liked the dance very much.

"Dad is rich." Ji Huai took out one hundred yuan from a stack of money, "then go buy some food with your classmates and have some fun."

Ji Ziqing: "I still have to pay for clothes and shoes."

"I gave that money to your mother, and also gave her half of the money from selling shrimps. She saved it for you." Ji Huai said quickly, thinking that one hundred yuan was too little for her, so he gave her a few ten yuan.

?piece.

In the past few days, he went to sea before dawn. He spent more than ten hours at sea and earned nearly two thousand and one days. Today he caught another wild grouper and earned more than before.

There are stacks of banknotes.

Ji Ziqing knew about this, and her mother told her. She looked at her father, who was sitting next to her holding a stack of money, and then looked at her mother, who was sleeping on the bed, and suddenly reached out to take Ji Huai's hand.

money on.

Ji Huai had already counted it three times. He was unprepared. How many red notes had she taken away? He raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey!"
