Married to the Northwest, the soft-waisted wife was spoiled by the rough man
Chapter 80 Qi Yan's Mother Calls
As soon as Ji Sisi entered the cafeteria, she ran into Guo Xiaolan who was walking back after getting her meal.
"Your wedding is scheduled for Saturday?"
Ji Sisi was stunned. When she went out in the morning, it was just dawn and there were not many people outside, so she didn't have time to say hello.
"how do you know?"
Guo Xiaolan pursed his lips and motioned Ji Sisi to go inside.
"Director Qi told the men early in the morning, and now everyone in the institute knows about it. If you hurry in, you can hear them discussing how much to give as a gift and what kind of gifts to give."
I didn't expect that men's communication is not inferior to women's.
As soon as Ji Sisi entered the cafeteria, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Some of them who said a few words were even bolder.
"Sister-in-law, I'm waiting for your wedding banquet on Saturday!"
"Yes, sister-in-law, I saw Director Qi delivering menus to the kitchen alone before. How great is this? He can even list a menu separately."
Ji Sisi smiled faintly and responded, "You'll know when you come here on Saturday. It's not that great, just some ordinary dishes."
After saying that, she quietly quickened her pace and walked towards the food window with her lunch box.
She had been looking forward to this dinner since the afternoon.
Such a big thing happened today that she didn't have a good meal at noon. Plus, the meals in the team were just some vegetables and whole grains. She had no appetite after being used to the delicious meals in the cafeteria.
The meals in the cafeteria are all free. On the one hand, it is to help the staff of the institute replenish their bodies and prevent low immunity and physical collapse. On the other hand, they do some brain-intensive work every day, so they can't be deprived of food.
As for the family members, they all benefited from it. The sisters-in-law in the courtyard also took the food home and rarely cooked.
Ji Sisi was walking back with the food, and the guard who had escorted Ji Nian last time was chasing after her.
"Sister-in-law! There are telegrams and phone calls for you."
"mine?"
Ji Sisi was slightly stunned. After thinking for a few seconds, she realized that the only person who could send her a telegram was Wang Cuifen. Then who could have called her?
The young guard nodded, his eyes full of determination, "It's from the capital, they called and said it was Director Qi's mother, your mother-in-law!"
Ji Sisi cried out that she was unlucky. Why did everything have to be done in one day?
"Okay, come over after I finish my meal."
Thinking of what Qi Yan's mother had done to him, Ji Sisi had no good feelings towards this mother-in-law whom she had never met before, so she simply ate her meal before leaving.
When Ji Sisi returned home, Xiao Huihui came forward to greet her and followed her obediently, with an expression that looked like he wanted to be touched.
She put the lunch box on the table, squatted down and touched Xiao Huihui. After a while, the wound on its back had healed and it had grown a lot.
If it weren’t for Ji Nian, Xiao Huihui’s injury would have healed long ago.
It is said that animals are spiritual and can understand human speech. A hint of evil humor surged in Ji Sisi's heart.
"Xiao Huihui, can you talk to your parents and help me scare someone? You don't have to go too far. Just go to our infirmary at night and yell a few times, and take care of your aunt who hurt you. She'll be lonely living in the infirmary alone."
Xiao Huihui licked Ji Sisi's palm. His pair of dark and bright eyes looked very likable, but I don't know if he understood or not.
Ji Sisi washed her hands and prepared to eat. Xiao Huihui stretched out his claws to pull her trouser legs, staring at the braised pork on the chopsticks, and licked his lips from time to time.
"Still eating? Look at your round belly. You're so fat that you don't even look like a wolf."
I don’t know if this is considered a shame in the wolf world.
Although she expressed disgust, Ji Sisi still reluctantly gave up the two pieces of braised pork. Finally, she mixed the remaining rice with the broth and gave it to Xiao Huihui.
After eating and drinking, Ji Sisi remembered that she still had to return the call.
The guard room of the institute is very large, and it is used for sending and receiving letters and for communication.
This was Ji Sisi's first visit, and it was the first time she saw the guard room, which was almost 20 square meters and also had a small room for rest.
"Sister-in-law is here. The phone is over there. Do you know how to use it? Do you want me to connect you first?"
Ji Sisi followed his words and looked at the old-fashioned telephone on the table. It didn't even have a dial button, so the number could only be dialed by hand, and the operator would be responsible for connecting the number.
"I can't, please."
She really doesn't know how to do this. In her impression, the oldest one also has a dial button, so she can only ask others for help.
The guard expertly turned the small handle next to the phone, and after a few clicks, the receiver answered.
"Hello comrade, please help me get through to the Qi family in the Chaoyang District Court Family Compound in the Imperial Capital, um, long distance."
A few minutes later, the operator's voice came again from the other end of the phone.
"Sister-in-law, please answer the phone." The guard handed over the phone.
Ji Sisi picked up the phone and there was a crackling sound from the receiver. After a few seconds, a cold female voice came from the receiver.
"Comrade Ji Sisi?"
"Yes, Auntie...what can I do for you?"
As soon as her aunt said this, Ji Sisi regretted it. She had agreed to be annoying, but why was her mouth one step faster than her brain?
"Comrade Ji, I heard from others that you and my son are going to get married. I can tell you very clearly that I do not agree with this marriage. Your marriage is a feudal remnant and an arranged marriage.
Even if you marry me, I will not recognize you as my daughter-in-law. I hope you will consider it carefully."
Today's telephones are not advanced enough and have many shortcomings, sound leakage being one of them.
Ji Sisi, who was sitting three meters away, could hear the communication between the guard and the operator clearly, not to mention Wu Gang, who was standing at the door, less than two meters away.
Ji Sisi subconsciously clenched her hand holding the receiver, her knuckles turning white, but the smile on her face did not disappear.
"Aunt, you are really out of date. However, communication is not very convenient nowadays. I remind you that I am not going to marry Qi Yan. We are already married, and the marriage report was approved a month ago."
Wu Gang, who was on guard, silently gave Ji Sisi a thumbs up.
My sister-in-law is really brave. This is the first time he has seen a new daughter-in-law dare to talk back to her mother-in-law. Fortunately, they don’t live together. If they did, Director Qi would be very worried.
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone. When it rang again, the female voice was noticeably angrier.
"Arranged marriages are invalid. Even if you file a report, I can still get you a divorce. I already have a candidate for my daughter-in-law. I advise you not to be ungrateful. I don't want to come to the institute for such a small matter. It won't end well then."
After hearing her words, Ji Sisi felt a sharp pain in her heart and she frowned.
What does a small matter mean? Is her son's marriage just a small matter in the eyes of this "mother-in-law"?
"Aunt, your words are really interesting. The first sentence says that arranged marriages are invalid, and the second sentence overturns what you said, saying that you have a candidate. So, the marriage arranged by Grandpa Ayan is arranged, but yours is not?"
Ji Sisi snorted lightly, her words full of disdain.
“Also, Qi Yan and I are not in an arranged marriage; we are revolutionary comrades who fell in love freely.
My aunt has connections everywhere. Can she change even the relationship recognized by the law at will?
Just now I heard Xiao Wu and the operator say that the aunt is from the court’s family compound. How could there be people who are illiterate about the law in this court?
Auntie, please call from your home phone next time. It’s disturbing to call someone else in the middle of the night.”
