Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

In the room of Ji Dahai and his wife, Ji Dahai, who had almost not slept all night, heard the noise outside and sat up suddenly.

"Why do they sound like Mingzhu's footsteps?"

Madam Ji, who also hadn't slept all night, half-raised herself and listened carefully to the noise outside. Then she said with certainty, "It's Mingzhu! What is she going to do so early in the morning?"

As she said this, Mrs. Ji lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

Suddenly, Mrs. Ji stopped getting out of bed. She turned her head to look at Ji Dahai and said uncertainly, "Are you going to Cheng's house?"

!!!

Ji Dahai slapped his thigh, quickly got out of bed, threw his coat over his shoulders, rushed out in his slippers, shouting Ji Mingzhu's name loudly.

Mrs. Ji did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out behind Ji Dahai.

"Pearl!"

Ji Mingzhu was about to open the gate when she heard Ji Dahai's voice. She turned around and said, "Dad."

Ji Dahai panted slightly, looked up and down at Ji Mingzhu's outfit, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do?"

Ji Mingzhu said as if it was a matter of course: "I'll go find Brother Sanxiong."

"Then...then why are you carrying the bag? Huh?!"

Ji Mingzhu lowered his head and touched the knot of the bundle in front of him, then looked up and smiled at Ji Dahai, his eyes clear: "Anyway, I will move all my things to Brother Sanxiong's house in the future, so I thought I could move a little bit now, so that it won't be in vain and it can also save space at home."

Ji Dahai: “…”

Mrs. Ji: "..."

Ji Dahai felt his temples throbbing. He rubbed the root of his nose and said weakly, "Put the bag back."

"Dad?" Ji Mingzhu clutched the bag in front of him, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Be good and take..."

"Put the bag back!"

Mrs. Ji's cold words interrupted Ji Dahai's gentle coaxing.

The smile on Ji Mingzhu's face when facing Ji Dahai disappeared. Her face was tense and her big eyes looked at Mrs. Ji seriously.

"I can move my own things, so don't worry about it."

"Don't let me take care of it?!" Madam Ji raised her voice, and her face looked a little harsh because she was too serious: "From childhood to adulthood, everything you eat, wear, and use, which one didn't cost me money?! Your own things? What in this house is yours?!"

The words fell.

The whole yard was silent.

Time seemed to be stuck together with glue, and even breathing was frozen in the solidified air.

Ji Dahai stared at Mrs. Ji with obvious anger in his eyes.

Mrs. Ji's arms hidden under her coat kept shaking. Facing Ji Mingzhu's clear and calm gaze, an emotion called regret was gradually eating away at her heart.

I had clearly made up my mind to talk to her properly.

I clearly swore that I would never be mean to her again.

Obviously... I love her.

Why are you speaking coldly to her again?

How could he say such harsh and cruel words to her?

Ji Dahai didn't care about being angry with Madam Ji, and hurriedly coaxed Ji Mingzhu in a gentle voice: "Mingzhu, your mother didn't mean that. She just said that. You..."

"I do not want it."

Without waiting for Ji Dahai to finish speaking, Ji Mingzhu took off the bag on his body and let it fall to the ground.

Ji Dahai and Mrs. Ji's breathing stagnated almost at the same time.

Ji Mingzhu looked at Madam Ji and said seriously, "I don't want anything you bought with your money."

As he spoke, Ji Mingzhu was about to reach out and take off his clothes.

"Mingzhu!" Ji Dahai hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ji Mingzhu's actions: "Why are you angry with your mother? She just said something unpleasant, don't take it to heart, okay?"

"No." Ji Mingzhu shook her head, raised her head and looked at Ji Dahai, her eyes clear and pure: "She never said such things to her younger brothers and sisters, and her words were not unpleasant at all. Dad, I am not smart, but I am not stupid either."

Ji Dahai half opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Dad, she doesn't like me, and I don't like her either. I want to marry into another family."

Ji Mingzhu's voice was calm when he said this, even peaceful.

But it was just this one sentence that made Ji Dahai's eyes instantly red and Mrs. Ji's face instantly turned pale.

Ji Dahai wiped his face vigorously, sniffed, and then forced a smile towards Ji Mingzhu:

"Most of our family's money is earned by Dad. Dad is willing to spend it on you and wants to spend it on you. No one can say anything!

Aren't you going to look for the three bears? Go ahead.

Have fun with Sanxiong. Dad will go to Cheng's house to discuss your marriage with Sanxiong after I get off work today."

After saying that, Ji Dahai bent down to pick up the bag on the ground, patted the dust off the bag, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's not carry this bag for now. I will pack your things for you later, and then I will accompany you to the Cheng family along with your dowry when you get married."

Ji Mingzhu left the house with a normal expression.

In the Ji family courtyard, Ji Dahai looked at Madam Ji, who was frozen and motionless, with a gloomy face: "Are you satisfied?"

"I..." Madam Ji's throat rolled, tasting the rusty blood foam: "I lost my mind..."

"You are really out of your mind!" Ji Dahai laughed in anger:

"But when did you lose your mind towards Yao Ting and Ying Ying?!

The only difference is that you treated Mingzhu coldly and rarely had a good face to her before, but now you can actually say such harsh words to her.

This is like stabbing her in the heart!

Do you think she has no heart?!

I really thought you were only thinking about Mingzhu last night!"

Mrs. Ji defended herself with red eyes:

"Master! My words may not sound pleasant to the ears, but what I said last night was sincere!

I am Mingzhu’s biological mother! How could I not think about her? ! "

"You also know that you are her biological mother! Then why do you choose to use the most vicious words to hurt her? You forced her to not even call her 'mother'!"

Ji Dahai grabbed the wooden basin next to the millstone and smashed it against the well platform. The loud "clang" made Mrs. Ji tremble all over.

After being married for many years, Mrs. Ji had never seen Ji Dahai so angry.

Ji Dahai was really angry.

Mrs. Ji was usually the head of the household, but she was so frightened by Ji Dahai's rage that she dared not even look up.

"Ugh!"

Ji Dahai was dejected and staggered back a step, still holding Ji Mingzhu's bag tightly in his hand.

"I am useless after all. I have the title of a juren, but I have been a minor official for so many years.

It would be fine if his career was mediocre, but he couldn’t even take care of his family affairs…”

"Master..." Madam Ji approached Ji Dahai carefully, tentatively holding Ji Dahai's arm, and choked up, "I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."

……

Ji Mingzhu didn't know that her always gentle and honest father got angry at her mother after she left. Now all she could think about was marrying Deng Xiong as soon as possible.
