throbbing marriage

Chapter 5

Ji Wan stayed in the emergency department of the hospital for one night, and the rash subsided a little the next day. She discovered this problem during the graduation dinner of her third year of high school. She drank a bottle of red wine and was hospitalized that night, scaring her family so much that she never drank alcohol since then.

Fortunately, this allergy was worth it. She was afraid of long nights and dreams, so she went to Xi Yan's company to sign the contract the next afternoon. Xi Yan invested 500 million in Orange Technology, accounting for 40.00% of the shares. Funds and projects accounted for 50.00% of the shares. The assistant who signed said with a smile that this was the smallest contract he had ever handled.

Ji Wan smiled, and secretly vowed in her heart that one day, she would make this smallest bid the contract with the highest profit rate.

The rash on his body had almost disappeared by the weekend, and Ji Wan bought two bags of snacks when he got off work and went home.Ji's house is half a city away from the company. The house is a remodeled old community. It has been freshly painted on the outside, and it is almost 20 years old inside.

Ji's family lives on the first floor, which is damp and dark, but one advantage is that it has a yard. Ji Wan's grandma is already in her seventies, and she likes to sit in the yard and bask in the sun.

It was almost seven o'clock when Ji Wan arrived home, and grandma was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw her, she stood up happily: "Daughter, you are here, did you fall on the road when it was dark? Why are you wearing so little clothes?" , I have forgotten all the old words, right, spring cover autumn freeze..."

Ji Wan likes to listen to this kind of nagging. When she was a child, her mother had to go to work, and her grandma brought her up by nagging like this little by little.There were already two dishes on the dining table, and there was the sound of "chi chi" from the pressure cooker in the kitchen. She sat at the dining table holding her grandma's hand, and took out the various small cakes she bought: "Grandma, what do you like?" .”

Grandma gets greedy when she gets old, and loves to eat this kind of soft snack, but she is always reluctant to buy it. Every week when Ji Wan buys it, she shows it off to the elderly in the same community, "This is my granddaughter's filial piety to me." .”

The door of the kitchen opened, Ji Shuyun came out holding a bowl of soup, Ji Wan hurried up to pick it up.

"I'm back," Ji Shuyun wiped her hands with her bib, and looked at her carefully, "I haven't seen you for a week, why do you seem to have lost weight?"

"Zhen Zhen pulled me to lose weight together." Ji Wan said lightly.

"What's the point of losing weight? Girls have fat to be happy, butts are big so they won't have to bear hardships. And girls, don't work too hard. Good health is the most important thing. Go to bed early and get up early..." Grandma babbled talking.

"Mom, don't mention your old ideas." Ji Shuyun frowned, "Are young people waiting for the sky to drop if they don't fight? Wash your hands and eat."

The dishes are very rich, a total of five dishes and one soup. Except for the occasional chatter of grandma, there is almost no sound at the table. Ji Shuyun has strict requirements on Ji Wan since she was a child.

"Ninny, the granddaughter of Grandma Chen's house next door has brought her boyfriend in, and she said that a wedding will be held at the end of the year." Grandma suddenly remembered some gossip, "Your Grandma Chen is very happy, she said it was—"

Ji Shuyun interrupted her: "Why are you happy? Did you marry so early to be a cow and a horse for your in-laws? Wan Wan, you don't want to learn from them, women, the most important thing is self-respect, self-love and self-reliance, and entrust your happiness to men It is the most illusory, and you must keep this point firmly in your heart."

Ji Wan Jiacai's hands were stiff, and he nodded silently.

Grandma was in a hurry: "Shuyun, don't teach my daughter like this, so that my daughter will not dare to fall in love."

"Love is the most illusory, vulnerable to reality." Ji Shuyun said coldly, "She should be thankful that I taught her like this, unlike me, who only realized after suffering such a big loss."

Grandma was stunned for a while, and her cloudy eyes became moist: "Are you blaming me?"

Ji Shuyun choked for a moment: "Mom, what are you thinking?"

Grandma stood up tremblingly, and walked into the bedroom without saying a word, Ji Wan quickly followed in: "Grandma, don't think too much, Mom doesn't mean that."

Grandma sat down by the bed, wiped her tears, and murmured, "Who knew your dad...that man would be so cruel, he looks so handsome, how could he be so heartless!" Getting off the bed to vent her anger, she suddenly thought of something again, took Ji Wan's hand and told her, "Ninny, don't be afraid, not all men are this bad, just be careful, don't listen to your mother, Treat all the men in the world as that dog."

Ji Wan nodded, and leaned her head on her grandma's shoulder: "Well, grandma, don't worry, I know it well."

Grandma stroked her hair: "Daughter, your temper is exactly the same as your mother's. You are old and stubborn, but this person will live a lifetime. If you want to see him, you have to see him. You can't get out of his horns. Do you know how to cut him?"

From time to time, grandma popped up a dialect from her hometown, speaking with great sincerity.Unlike some old people, grandma loves cleanliness. She takes a bath and washes her clothes almost every day. She has a scent of soap locust on her body. Her hair is combed meticulously. , with silver hair and a straight waist, the old lady still looks very personable.

Ji Wan likes her grandma very much. If Ji Shuyun's role in the family is like a strict father, then her grandmother's love for her is like a loving mother.

After comforting her grandma, Ji Wan left the guest bedroom, the dining table was already cleaned up, and the sound of water came from the kitchen, she walked to Ji Shuyun and rolled up her sleeves: "Mom, let me come."

Ji Shuyun ignored her, her thin back was like a wall, standing there hard and indifferent.

"The company got its first venture capital investment." Ji Wan said softly.

Ji Shuyun's hand paused, and finally responded lightly.

Looking at his mother's side face, Ji Wan suddenly felt sore.She had seen photos of Ji Shuyun when she was young, she was very beautiful, but now she is only in her early fifties, but she looks much older than her peers, and the wrinkles on her face are clearly visible.For so many years, she has supported the family alone for one breath, and she has suffered a lot.

"Mom, don't work too hard, let's push those part-time jobs." Ji Wan took the bowl from her hand and started to wash it.

"Hard work..." Ji Shuyun murmured, her eyes gradually became blank, "Wanwan, you know why mom is working so hard."

Ji Wan felt numb for a while, of course she knew that Ji Shuyun had been clenching her teeth and insisting on this belief for more than 20 years since she was six months pregnant.

"I want them to know that I can raise you well by myself. I want them to regret it for the rest of their lives. One day they will kneel in front of me and weep, saying that they were wrong. Mother and daughter abandoned," Ji Shuyun raised her hand to stroke Ji Wan's hair, her fingertips trembled slightly, and finally stopped on her chin.

Ji Wan's chin looks like her father's. When she was in high school, if there hadn't been an accident, Ji Shuyun once wanted to take her for plastic surgery.

Ji Shuyun's eyes showed deep-seated hatred, and Ji Wan could almost feel the strength of her fingertips to force herself to endure.

"Mom," Ji Wan called out in a low voice, his palms felt cold, "I know, I will work hard."

"Okay, look into Mom's eyes," Ji Shuyun asked in a trembling voice, "You have absolutely nothing to do with them, right?"

Ji Wan nodded vigorously.

"The account he insisted on giving you, you didn't take it, did you?"

Ji Wan's eyes widened suddenly: "Mom, what are you thinking, I haven't even touched that account, even if I die, I won't use his money."

"That's good..." Ji Shuyun let out a deep breath, closed her eyes, her thin figure swayed, Ji Wan supported her, and asked in a panic: "Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom?"

"Wanwan," Ji Shuyun's voice was choked with sobs, "You must remember what your mother said, if a girl doesn't plan for herself, if she doesn't train herself to be as strong as a steel frame, she will be easily injured. Don't be fooled by others. I ended up ending up like my mother."

Ji Wan gritted her teeth: "Mom, I know, don't worry."

"Your boyfriend, let's break up."

Ji Wan was stunned, she never mentioned the matter of Sheng Haisheng to her family.

"You can tell what kind of man he is by looking at his appearance. You are still young, so you have to put your whole heart and soul into your career. Don't worry about this issue for now." Ji Shuyun changed back to that cold and strong appearance.

After a moment of silence, Ji Wan felt a little sour. It was one thing for her to break up, but it was another thing to be ordered to break up like this.

"I've gone to find out about his family. Both his parents came from the rural areas in the interior and settled in the city. There is an older sister in the family who is almost the same as them. If you don't listen to me, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Ji Shuyun emphasized. .

Ji Wan looked at her in surprise: "Are you investigating me?"

"Check it out for you, I don't want you to follow mother's old path."

There seemed to be something stuck in her chest, Ji Wan was a little out of breath, she wiped the sink mechanically, and after a while she replied lightly: "It's already divided."

Ji Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her daughter's shoulder to show her approval: "Okay, let's take a break and watch TV, Mom will get you some fruit to eat."

Diced apples and honey pomelo peeled into petals are the same as when I was studying. Although it is a single-parent family, Ji Shuyun takes good care of her. She has what others have, even better than ordinary people.All the money in the family was used to train her. She went to training classes, learned ballet, and once even learned the most expensive musical instrument, the piano. A lesson costs a few hundred yuan. Ji Shuyun is just a civil servant, and she works in an unpopular department. A civil servant with a low income, she heard from the teacher that Ji Wan had a talent for playing the piano, so she had to let Ji Wan learn it. She frantically took on some part-time jobs, and stayed up until one or two in the morning every night.It was Ji Wan who pinched his fingers into the anti-theft door when he deliberately closed the door, which made Ji Shuyun give up this idea.

Sometimes Ji Wan wonders if she is a disaster star and shouldn't be born in this world at all.It was her arrival that caused the mother to lose her family and her husband, and live alone in this world almost paranoid.

Yes, her gender was secretly found out when she was six months in her mother's womb. At that time, her parents were both public officials and could not have a second child. Grandma insisted on having a boy, otherwise their family would be dead. Ji Shuyun induced labor, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled over it.

But her father was in a dilemma. After begging for a long time, he finally succumbed to the old man's idea and gave Ji Shuyun two choices, induction of labor or divorce.

Ji Shuyun chose to divorce arrogantly, and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with a big belly.

According to grandma, her father burst into tears when he signed the divorce agreement, crying and saying that they were the two most sorry women in his life.

What's the use of being the most sorry?

In the end, he was defeated by this terrible social custom and abandoned his wife and daughter.
