Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 81 Inventory Crisis

Wu Gang looked shocked, his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at Ji Sisi with disbelief.

He truly doesn't live up to the name containing the character "gang" (meaning strong/resolute); his sister-in-law is much more assertive than him.

This time, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone, perhaps because the person was furious; the volume of their voice was noticeably higher than the previous two times.

"Comrade Ji, you have disappointed me greatly. I am your elder, and this is how you talk to your elder?"

Shen Wanqing was so angry she almost crushed the phone, but her upbringing made her try her best to control her anger.

Qi Yan pouted in dissatisfaction, "Mom, how can this person talk so rudely? They have no manners at all. How could my brother fall for someone like this?"

Shen Wanqing glanced at her, signaling her to be quiet.

Qi Yan reluctantly shut her mouth.

“An elder? I would only respect you as an elder if you treated me like a junior and cared for me. But you started by questioning me and forcing me to divorce my husband.”

“Ah Yan is your son. How dare you interfere in his marriage, Auntie? Have you considered his feelings?”

"Shut up! It's not your place to lecture him. He's my son, and he should listen to me in everything!"

Ji Sisi hummed in agreement and prepared to hang up. "Okay, long-distance calls are expensive. I will tell Ayan what Auntie said tonight."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Sisi decisively hung up the phone.

Shen Wanqing stared in astonishment at the phone in her hand. She had actually been hung up on? Ever since the phone started working at home, countless calls had come in, and not a single one had dared to hang up on her.

"Mom, my brother has really lost his eye for talent. This woman has no manners at all. If he stays with someone like that, he'll be ruined sooner or later! How about I go to Gansu to see him and tell him what you think?"

Qi Yan took the opportunity to kick him while he was down. The last time she met her older brother was two years ago, and they only had a brief meeting before parting ways.

When she heard the news tonight that her older brother was getting married, she was just as shocked as her mother.

Such an outstanding older brother, there are very few women in this world who could be worthy of him, and besides, she has never even met that woman, and her older brother has never mentioned her to her.

Did her older brother never consider her his sister, or did he never treat her as his own sister?

Having been pampered by others for so long, Shen Wanqing couldn't accept Ji Sisi's attitude towards her for a while.

She sighed and rubbed her throbbing temples. "The conditions there are harsh. You'll suffer if you go. Just stay home and behave yourself. As for your brother, I have a way to deal with him."

Qi Yan's plan failed. Suppressing her resentment, she put on a sweet smile again and affectionately linked arms with Shen Wanqing.

"Mom, don't bother with that kind of person. I saw an outfit yesterday that would really suit you, I'll buy it for you tomorrow to cheer you up!"

Shen Wanqing usually fell for this act, but this time, she waved her hand and got up to go upstairs.

"Focus on your studies. You'll be graduating and getting a job soon. If there's anywhere you want to go, tell your dad in advance. I'm going upstairs to rest now."

Qi Yan's expression froze. "Okay, I understand, Mom."

This was one of the few times her mother had given her a cold shoulder; at least, it had happened very rarely since she entered the Qi family.

Qi Yan felt her anger was directed at this woman, and she hated her even more for the woman who had taken her older brother away.

graduate School.

Ji Sisi hung up the phone and received the telegram slip. The cover was from China People's Post and Telecommunications, and it looked quite old.

It was a telegram sent by Lin Miao; it contained very few words and was concise and to the point.

Pei Feng is recovering and will be back at the facility soon, so don't worry.

Ji Sisi felt a little better after reading the telegram. "Xiao Wu, I'll head back now. Thank you so much for your help earlier."

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. This is what I should do." "Please don't tell anyone what I just said. As the saying goes, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. I'm afraid it will cause bad discussions and have a negative impact on Ayan's mentality."

Wu Gang promised, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Having spent so long in the guardhouse, he's heard a couple of people call every day, and he's heard plenty of gossip. He knows what he should and shouldn't say.

He doesn't want to lose his job.

Ji Sisi came out of the guardhouse and happened to run into Qi Yan standing at the door. The man was tall and straight, and he smiled when he saw her.

Ji Sisi walked quickly towards him, "Did you just get off work?"

"Yes, I heard you were making a phone call in the guard room, so I waited for a while."

The two walked home side by side, the streetlights elongating their shadows and shortening the distance between them.

Aren't you curious who called me?

Seeing that she brought it up herself, Qi Yan readily agreed, "Curious? Is it your stepmother?"

Ji Sisi shook her head in denial.

“It’s your mother. She seems to know about our marriage, but not completely.”

Mentioning his mother, Qi Yan's eyes dimmed, and he lost his earlier interest. "You don't need to take her words to heart. You won't have the chance to see each other again in the future, so don't feel guilty."

Seeing Qi Yan like this, Ji Sisi felt even more sorry for him.

Her expression was indifferent; it was impossible to tell whether she was angry or not.

“I didn’t care, but I said some unpleasant things that might have upset your mother. I was afraid she would take her anger out on you, so I wanted to tell you in advance.”

At this point, Qi Yan recalled his childhood.

He left home at the age of seven to live with his grandfather in a military compound. He saw his mother only once a year, and sometimes only once every two years when he was busy.

Every time they met, his mother's attitude was cold. When he was young, he tried to anger her or do something naughty to get her attention, but it was all in vain.

Over time, his mother grew to dislike him even more, so he stopped trying to please her and only contacted her occasionally.

Qi Yan was not surprised that his mother would find out this time.

"It's alright, don't take her words to heart, and don't answer any more calls from her."

"By the way, when I was on the phone with your aunt, I heard a girl next to me calling her 'Mom,' but wasn't your sister kidnapped when she was little?"

Ji Sisi still remembers very clearly the person who called her ill-mannered.

Qi Yan's tone was calm. "After my sister was abducted, my parents adopted a child who was about the same age as her the following year. Her name is Qi Yan, the same name as my sister."

Using the same name for a substitute novel, doesn't the Qi family find it disgusting to do this?

Ji Sisi hesitated to approach the Qi family, adhering to the principle of keeping to herself and not interfering with each other's lives. As long as it didn't affect her and Qi Yan's lives, she wasn't in a position to reluctantly call that person "Mom."

"I'm going to pick up two friends at the train station tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be back a little late tonight. You should get some rest and don't need to wait for me."

"Okay, by the way, Miaomiao sent me a telegram saying that Peifeng is getting better and should be back in a few days."

Qi Yan was taken aback, "So fast?"

He knew a lot about Lin Peifeng's injuries, but it had only been half a month since they returned. How could he have recovered so quickly?
Ji Sisi smiled guiltily, "This child is just lucky despite being a fool..."

It seems she must obtain this spiritual spring as soon as possible, as her spatial reserves are running low!
