NOVEL NEXT Chapter 291: Ji Yunyun Was Crying Uncontrollably
“Fourth sister-in-law!” Ji Yunyun shouted quickly when she saw her.
Yun Lili saw her and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Fourth sister-in-law, don’t you want to see me?” Ji Yunyun asked back with a hurt expression on her face.
“It's not that I don't want to see you, it's just that we don't have much of a relationship now. Your fourth brother will not be happy with me if I have any contact with you,” Yun Lili said.
She pushed Ji Jianwen as the excuse. Ji Yunyun and him were siblings after all. Broken bones still had connected tendons. It was different for her, Yun LIli, as the sister-in-law.
“Fourth brother doesn’t know that I came to see you. I saw him go in,” Ji Yunyun said.
Yun Lili knew that she was waiting for her, so she said, “It's getting late now. I'm in a hurry to go back and cook. If there’s nothing else, then I'm going first.”
“Fourth sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law.” Ji Yunyun quickly grabbed her.
“If you have something to say, then just say it. Don’t grab me,” Yun Lili said.
Ji Yunyun had a request, so she had to let go. “Fourth sister-in-law, please lend me some money!”“Lend you money?” Yun Lili paused and looked at her. “What money? Don't you have a job? Besides, I heard that Li Zhi gave you money before, so are you really short on money?”
“Fourth sister-in-law, I'm really short of money and I'm pregnant again,” Ji Yunyun said quickly.
After she and Zhou Zhi moved to Jiangshui City, they spent a lot of money on rent, new furniture, and more expenses.
She brought a lot of money with her, but she spent almost all of it. Zhou Zhi also spent a lot of money. Right now, she does not have a job. Zhou Zhi still had one, but he only gave her about 20 yuan a month—how could that be enough?
Yun Lili already had her suspicions about the pregnancy, so she didn't say much about it. She just said, “Since you are pregnant, you should go back and take good care of yourself. Your fourth brother and I don't have a lot of money. Although the mortgage is paid off, my second brother started a business and I let him borrow money recently.”
“Fourth sister-in-law, are you really going to watch me struggle?” Ji Yunyun bit her lips.
“I’m not really turning a blind eye, I’m telling you the truth. My second brother borrowed the 200 yuan that Jianwen and I saved up. Before this, I borrowed 500 yuan from my parents and that was a huge request I needed to repay,“ Yun Lili said.
Naturally, she was just saying this to block Ji Yunyun. There was no way her second brother and second sister-in-law could borrow money from her. Her eldest brother could, but her second brother couldn’t even think about it.
Yun Lili didn't want to lend any money to Ji Yunyun. If this happened once, then there would be a second time. Other people would repay what they borrow, but lending to Ji Yunyun would be like a meat bun beating a dog1
“Wait here,” Yun Lili said to her.
Then she went upstairs to get a pack of red dates and gave it to her. She said, “Take these red dates back with you. If you are pregnant, then eating more red dates will be good for your health.”
Ji Yunyun was not able to get any money, so she went back with the red dates.
Yun Lili went home without saying anything else. Ji Jianwen asked, “I saw that you took a bag of red dates and went out. Where did you go?”
“Yunyun came by. She said she is pregnant and wanted to borrow money from me. I didn't lend her any and gave her red dates instead,” Yun Lili said.
Ji Jianwen's face turned dark. “Don't get involved with her in the future! Don’t give her any money!”
What he said was “give” and not “lend”, since lending to his sister was no different from giving.
If this sister was a good person, then it would have been easy for him, as her brother, to help her out a bit. It would have been a normal thing to do. However, this sister hurt their entire family, and she even took money from Li Zhi.
She simply didn’t have any dignity.
And now she came here to say she was short on money? If he gave her any, he wouldn't be her brother!
When Ji Yunyun returned home, Zhou Zhi happened to be coming from work. He was exhausted from work.
He came back and saw fruits and delicious food on the table, which included chicken. It was obvious that a lot of money was spent.
He was not happy, and he immediately became angry. “Ji Yunyun, with your way of spending money, my monthly salary is gone in a few days!”
“Why are you making such a fuss? I'm pregnant. Can I eat something good? When I was with Li Zhi, he didn't care about what I bought. He told me to buy whatever I wanted to eat. I just bought this little thing and you’re not happy?” Ji Yunyun couldn't get any money today, so she was already in a bad mood and now she exploded.
“If Li Zhi was so good, then why did you cheat on him? Do you miss him now? Why didn't you remember that about him when you ran away with me!” Zhou Zhi scolded.
“You bastard! What are you talking about?!” Ji Yunyun's eyes suddenly turned red and she retorted. “Who do you think I am doing this for? Isn’t it for you? If it wasn’t for you, would I be going through such a hard life now? I’m pregnant, so why can't I eat something good?”
“Eat good, huh? Why don't you just eat yourself to death? Ever since you came with me, you just eat and eat and eat. You only buy whatever is good and expensive. Who do you think you are? Being with me, Zhou Zhi, means you have to live the way I live! Not throwing a fit like a spoiled princess!” Zhou Zhi spat.
“How am I a spoiled princess? I'm just living a normal life!” Ji Yunyun screamed angrily.
“What's normal? You have to eat three meals a day with meat and vegetables. And you have to eat seasonal fruits. How much do you think it costs? No wonder Li Zhi was willing to divorce you. I bet you he’s laughing somewhere for throwing away his second-hand goods to me!” Zhou Zhi screamed back.
“Who are you calling second-hand goods? I dare you to say it again!” Ji Yunyun yelled.
“Aren't you second-hand goods? Do you think you are still fresh? You’re lucky I didn’t mind this about you. If others knew what you have done and what kind of mess you have made, who would look at you twice?” Zhou Zhi was very tired. He didn't say any nice words when he came back home. He saw how wasteful she was with spending money, so it pushed him over the edge. He spoke sharply like a knife and cut Ji Yunyun all over.
Ji Yunyun was so angry that she screamed and started throwing things at him.
Before Ji Yunyun got pregnant, Zhou Zhi would have slapped her. How could he tolerate her behavior? During their previous fights, he would hit her.
She was pregnant now, and he wanted the child. So he stormed out and slammed the door when he got angry.
Ji Yunyun left a mess all over the floor. She covered her face and cried really hard. What did she do wrong? Why did everyone treat her like this? Why did she, Ji Yunyun, live her life like this? She had a good life when she was with LI Zhi.
Li Zhi doted on her and did all the housework as long as she took good care of herself.
Even in winter, Li Zhi took care of washing the dishes and mopping the floor. He would say that the water was cold in winter and it would not be good for a woman’s body.
- a way of saying it means she’ll never pay it back
