Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

Chapter 136 He Has a Guess

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

Ji Xiuping admitted it generously, and even seemed to be in a good mood and asked his fourth brother back.

Hearing this, Ji Xiujing was stunned for a moment, he thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what about Xiaoju could make the eldest brother find her very interesting.

"Perhaps the eldest brother has a special vision."

But Ji Xiujing didn't say it directly, but instead expressed his doubts in more tactful words.

"She's something special."

After saying this, Ji Xiuping didn't mention it anymore, instead he took a serious look at the candied haws in his hand, and said, "Why is that woman so kind to give us something to eat today?"

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

Ji Xiujing eats what he eats, but he still has prejudice against Mu Daiyao.

Obviously, the other children of the Ji family also have the same opinion.

Although Ji Xiuping had no objection to this, he turned around the candied haws, lowered his eyes, thought of something, and said softly: "That's fine, Xiaoju likes it, it's a good deed she has done."

Ji Xiujing's expression didn't change, but he screamed in his heart: Brother, calm down!
If Mu Daiyao knew that the candied haws she gave away had unexpectedly attracted Ji Xiuping, she might have moved this sweet shop to Xiaoju.

The Ji family's children returned home, but they didn't see their father, only Mu Daiyao who was sitting in the yard in a daze while choosing vegetables.

"Where did daddy go?"

It was rare that Ji Xiu would take the initiative to speak by looking at Mu Daiyao, and his tone was not as faintly hostile as usual.

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

"understood."

Ji Xiuping nodded, then walked past Mu Daiyao calmly.

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

Why is their eldest brother acting weird today?

Village head home.

"Brother Ji, what can you do with me?"

Da Zhuang had just finished his homework, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was called out of the house by Ji Zhixu before he had a rest.

Ji Zhixu didn't open his mouth, but first glanced at Da Zhuang lightly, the depth in his eyes reminded Da Zhuang of the bottomless well at the head of his yard.

Even when he grows up, every time he passes through that well, Da Zhuang will feel his back go numb.

The current Ji Zhixu gave him the same feeling, and thinking of what he said to Miss Ruan, Da Zhuang couldn't help but look away a little guilty, and stammered, "Brother Ji, Would you like to come in and sit for a while and have a sip of tea?"

"No, I have something to ask you."

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

The reason why Xiu Yun made a fuss that night was probably because he couldn't get away from Da Zhuang.

"Brother Ji, what do you want to know, as long as I can answer, I will definitely not hide anything."

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

Ji Zhixu didn't go around with Da Zhuang, and said straight to the point.

"Yeah, I swear, Brother Ji, I never mentioned this to outsiders!"

Da Zhuang wanted to swear at first, but after thinking about it again, he was not sure whether Miss Ruan knew about it or not, so he shrank back guiltily.

"Then why does Xiao Yun hear these gossips?"

"Xiao Yun? Impossible. At that time, it was only Miss Ruan and I, there was no third person."

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Da Zhuang's face, and it didn't look like a fake.

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

Sure enough, she has something to do with that Ruan girl again, and I don't know what she said behind Xiaoyun's back, which can make Xiaoyun have such a big opinion of Yaoniang.

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

Da Zhuang also knew that he was in the wrong, and after he said this, he lowered 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 also find it strange, but it must be like 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 Yaoniang definitely did not tell the other party about this matter.

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

"Da Zhuang, does Miss Ruan have anything else to say?"

Ji Zhixu did not startle the snake, but chose to continue asking.

"I didn't say anything." Da Zhuang frowned and thought about it carefully, and found that he didn't seem to have heard any definite news from Miss Ruan. He scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "It's strange, if Ji Madam and Brother Ji didn't tell Miss Ruan, how did Miss Ruan know?"

Seeing Da Zhuang's incomprehensible look, Ji Zhizhi only lightly raised a possibility, "Maybe she heard it at the Yamen that day?"

"Impossible, I was the only one who went to the Yamen in the village that day, not even my father."

Da Zhuang didn't even think about it, he just waved his hand and denied it.

"I see."

Ji Zhixu had already got 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 his head and walked away without saying a word.

Leaving Da Zhuang standing there, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled until the village head's confused voice came from behind him.

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

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

After Da Zhuang answered loudly, he closed the door. He thought silently in his heart that he must keep his mouth tight when meeting Miss Ruan in the future, and he must never speak casually again.

It's just that Da Zhuang is a little curious. Could it be that the relationship between Miss Ruan and Brother Ji's family is not as familiar as she said?

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

He didn't tolerate Miss Ruan before, just because he felt that there was no need to waste time and energy on insignificant people.

Now that the other party has provoked Yaoniang, and even did something to hurt Yaoniang, if Ji Zhixu endured it, it would only make this kind of thing worse.

"Brother Xu!"

Just when Ji Zhixu was about to pay a direct visit, Ruan Hantong's surprised voice came from behind him.
