Years ago, Ji's mother came back from the capital. For the first time, she called Ji Huai and Tian Jing and asked them to go back for the New Year. Her tone was very warm and she seemed to be in good condition.
As soon as Tian's mother heard the news about Ji's mother, her brows were filled with worry, "I'm afraid your mother-in-law is a bottomless pit. You and Ji Huai have only gotten better in the past two years. If you continue to treat her like this, you will have gold and silver." I can’t stand it. That’s not how diseases are treated.”
She had no problem with selling her family's house. In the face of life and death, everyone's desire to survive was strong, but she really couldn't agree with Ji's mother's actions.
We are both parents and have children, and the children will also have children's lives in the future. I really don't know what the other party thinks.
"Mom, don't think too much. Her mother probably won't come to us to ask for money. Ji Huai's money is all mine, and I have a sense of propriety." Tian Jing comforted Tian's mother.
In fact, she has never cared about Ji's mother. If Ji Huai tells her the recent situation, she will listen, otherwise she will pretend that she doesn't know. Ji's mother is carefree with millions in her pocket. She hires caregivers at the hospital and doesn't need them to intervene. What should she worry about for her
She didn't have the energy to take care of it. Ji Tianqi was going to elementary school and her younger daughter was going to kindergarten. They were under a lot of pressure, so how could they have so much time to think about it
Tian Jing was originally thinking, it’s only a few million, Ji’s mother won’t be able to spend all her money, right? Even if he was hospitalized and hired a nurse, it would take a long time. Ji Huai also bought medical insurance, which would be reimbursed, and it would take several years no matter what.
They don't covet what Ji Huai's mother can leave behind, and they don't want the 200,000 yuan to build the house. After all, Ji Huai's mother is also ill now, so they can let her leave with dignity and suffer less.
Later I found out that she underestimated Ji's mother.
Since the house was sold, Brother Ji and Sister-in-law Ji rented a house in the outer ring, not far from them. They still had some money in their hands, so they could live in peace for a while.
In the past, they lived in Ji's family and acted stupid when it came to living expenses. Ji's father and mother did not have pensions, but they also received a little money every month. In addition, Ji Huai and his wife gave them a living allowance every month. Tian Jing buys all the daily necessities, and the couple also bears a lot of daily expenses.
Brother Ji and his wife have lived at home for several years, and others have helped raise their children. Most of the things Tian Jing buys for Ji Tianqi will also be bought for their daughter, all of which are for free.
They saved all the money they earned, and originally planned to buy a fancy car.
Later, the house was sold, and Ji's father and mother no longer helped them raise their children. They had to rent the house by themselves and pay for all the expenses. Only then did they feel the pressure, and the little money they had saved was quickly used up. Spend nothing.
Forced to have no choice, they moved from the outer ring to the suburbs. That area was originally the Ji family's hometown. They went out to build a house before, but now they moved back.
It is close to the countryside and houses are cheap. You can rent a bungalow for 500 yuan.
There was no obvious change in Ji's mother who was sick. She had a rosy complexion. Apart from losing her hair due to chemotherapy, she seemed to be in better spirits than before.
Sister-in-law Ji was filled with hatred. When she saw Ji's mother, she looked down upon her, with resentment in her eyes. When Ji's mother was not around, she would whisper to Tian Jing, "Her life is getting better, but what about us? We are living a miserable life. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been unlucky for eight lifetimes!”
Tian Jing felt that the other party was not a good person, so he brushed it off without replying.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Sister-in-law Ji fanned the flames again, still fighting for their grievances, "I sold the house for so much money, but I didn't even pay back the money to build the house. You paid the most at that time, and Mom bought the house." It’s so unfair that I don’t see how much you deserve!”
"Mom is already sick, so forget the money." Tian Jing replied.
Sister-in-law Ji wouldn't tell her about the good things she had done with money, for fear of wanting her to stand out. Ji's mother is still sick, and her treatment is constantly costing money. She will not share the money from selling the house and cause trouble for herself.
She meant that she didn't want to get involved. Ji Huai would handle such matters, but Sister-in-law Ji actually said, "Yeah, we don't have money anyway, and that little money is just a small amount of money for you. It's easy for you to make money, unlike us." , it’s hard to make money, and we have to support so many children. Whether it’s my mother’s illness or debt, there’s nothing we can’t do to help.”
Tian Jing's face didn't look good at that time. Was he trying to blame it on them
Sister-in-law Ji is not particularly thick-skinned. At the dinner table, people praised Ji Huai and Tian Jing in various ways: "Yiyi and Qiqi go to an international kindergarten, and their monthly salary starts at tens of thousands, right? How are they like me?" Children, all of them are in inclusive kindergartens. One semester is only a few hundred yuan, and the two of you will definitely make millions a year."
"Hey, your eldest brother and I wish we could split a penny and spend it as two cents. There are so many children who don't know what to do in the future. Their lives are miserable. They don't have any savings and still owe money."
In her opinion, she told Tian Jing about the debt for building the house and reminded him of the money to build the house. Tian Jing should go to Ji's mother to ask for it. When the time comes, she would also take the opportunity to raise it. If the other party doesn't ask for it, That means she doesn't care about this small amount of money. From now on, she and Brother Ji will not take care of the family's debts and Ji's mother's illness. Ji Huai and his wife will take care of it.
The most frightening thing is that the statue of Ji's mother also focused on the two of them, tacitly assuming that they should bear all the responsibilities, thinking that if she ran out of money, she could ask Ji Huai for it.
Tian Jing heard the other party's intention and was really angry. She held it back and kicked Ji Huai under the table.
He'd better be able to carry it clearly, otherwise he'd be in trouble!
"Where did my sister-in-law hear that we can earn one million? We are not printing money. We are all struggling. Isn't it normal to owe money? We also owe a few credit cards and have no money." Ji Huai said After that, he said slowly, "No one is forcing you to have so many children. If you don't raise them after they are born, wouldn't that be dereliction of duty? Xiaojing and I are also gritting our teeth and raising them. It's not easy for anyone."
Who wouldn’t pretend to be miserable
Before Sister-in-law Ji could get too anxious, Mother Ji tentatively asked, "You can't make that much, but it's not a lot, right? How much money can you make in a year now?"
This was to inquire about the economic situation, so Tian Jing kicked Ji Huai with her foot under the table. They lived frugally to raise their children, but they couldn't afford Ji's mother's pretentiousness.
Ji Huai replied: "Mom, the money we earn is really not enough to spend. We are as poor as my eldest brother and we are all in debt."
"Then it must be that you spend too much money and don't know how to live. How much is your salary per month?" Ji's mother still didn't give up and turned to ask Tian Jing.
"It's really not much." Tian Jing said seriously.
Ji's mother obviously didn't believe it, and said that since she graduated from a key university, her salary must not be low.
Sister-in-law Ji also helped, "Yes, I heard that Ji Huai is now working in a big company. The salary of the two of them must be not low. Otherwise, how can they afford to go to an international kindergarten? They have also enrolled their two daughters in many special classes. I heard Qiqi said she is still learning piano and painting."
How can a child have any scheming ideas? The question came out immediately.
Tian Jing's head really hurts, don't they have to live? All the money has to be saved for Ji’s mother to be happy? Take it for over-medication
The reason Ji's mother didn't urge them to have a boy was because giving birth would cost money. Now she wanted Ji Huai and the others to spend money on her medical treatment. Of course she wouldn't be happy with a girl spending so much money on a movie.
She felt that Ji Huai and his wife should give her all their money, otherwise they would be unfilial!
Ji Huai was too lazy to answer, so Ji's mother started to play emotional cards with him. First, she said how bad the family situation was when she gave birth to Brother Ji, and how good she was to him after giving birth to him again.
"The family was not in a good situation at the time. Your brother did not go to high school, but the family forced you to go to high school. Later, you went to college, and the family also allowed you to go."
"You haven't done much work since you were a child. Mom is not willing to wrong you in any way. Everything she brings back from grandma's house is given to you first."
…
Ji Huai nodded and did not deny it, but he pulled Brother Ji along and said, "My parents are very good to me and my brother. My brother and I have not done any heavy work since we were young, and we have lived a good life. If my brother doesn't study anymore, you can also support him to open a store." , but I was not lucky enough to succeed, and I did lose a lot of money.”
He didn't think he was the most favored one. Before he met Tian Jing, he had to hand over half of his salary, which Ji's mother used to subsidize brother Ji and his family.
Brother Ji is used to being selfish. If he didn't say anything, the other party would really think that he was a victim and should not bear responsibility.
Brother Ji originally thought that Ji Huai should bear more. He didn't have to bear the responsibility because he didn't study. The family provided for Ji Huai to study. Ji Huai's words brought him back to his original shape.
Ji's mother didn't care what their brothers thought. After the relationship was over, she started moral kidnapping, pretending that she didn't mean to talk about how expensive the targeted drugs were and how effective they were. The doctor also told her what special drugs were available and what treatments were needed. If treated well, some people can live ten or twenty years!
After finishing speaking, he sighed, "Mom also knows that it's not easy for you. In fact, I have lived for such a long time and am content to die. But I still want to see your children grow up, see them get married and have children."
Sister-in-law Ji rolled her eyes at her behind her back and cursed her to die quickly. The old woman is so afraid of death, what can she pretend to be? Sons and grandsons are all ignored.
Seeing that Brother Ji didn't answer, Ji's mother looked at Ji Huai again.
Ji Huai also faced her and spoke very firmly, "Brother and I can't ignore you. We don't have money, but if you need money, we can get a loan. We don't know how much we can loan, but we will try our best to do whatever we can." We will definitely give you the best medical care within the scope.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Brother Ji and said, "Brother, we are just mothers. No matter what happens, we have to treat her, right?"
Brother Ji originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he didn't have that much determination. When Ji Huai asked him in front of everyone, he couldn't get off the stage. He could only nod his head, "Yes!"
Sister-in-law Ji is anxious, Ji Huai is a fool, and her husband is also a fool. She is pinching him from below and is so angry that she is half-dead. Seeing that Brother Ji doesn't respond, she blurts out and yells, "If you dare to take out a loan, you will get a loan immediately." Divorce! Why?" After saying that, she pointed at Ji's mother and scolded her, "You also sold the house and didn't pay back any money. You didn't give us a penny. Now you want us to borrow money to treat your illness. Are you comfortable and forcing us to die?"
Ji's mother certainly refused to admit defeat. She has always been strong, "I built the house and I can sell it if I want. Just because I gave birth to them, they are my sons!"
Her son has to support her! She must be treated.
"Bah!" Sister-in-law Ji also slammed the table, "Your son has to be treated by you, so don't you also want a grandson? You are clamoring for a baby every day, and I gave birth, what did you leave for him? You have no property for me to give birth to him. What son? Now you realize that your life is the most important thing? Don’t think I don’t know. You traveled across the country while you were being treated in the capital. What? Are you ready to be cool before you die? Morally kidnap your own son to cheat money? "
"I'm telling you, we don't have money to treat your illness. We won't give you a penny. If you don't have money, you'll die! Hurry up and pay us back the money you spent to build the house, and pay back the money you borrowed from others. Don't You want us to wipe your ass after you die!"
…
Ji Huai and his wife didn't know how to yell. Sister-in-law Ji originally wanted Tian Jing to argue with Ji's mother, but the other party couldn't hold her nerve and she couldn't hold it back.
Brother Ji did not stop him, but acquiesced and condoned Sister Ji's behavior. There was also a lot of boredom in his heart, but because Ji's mother was his biological mother, he couldn't talk about it.
Ji's mother's thoughts were exposed, her face turned pale, and she and Sister-in-law Ji began to scold each other. They refused to let anyone go, and they almost started fighting.
The meal ended unhappily.
Morality can't kidnap Brother Ji, but she can kidnap Ji Huai. That foreigner is actually easier to handle than Sister Ji, and Ji Huai also promised to treat her.
The eyes she looked at Ji Huai became more and more gentle and loving. After her inquiry, he also said his plan, "The company can only advance three months' salary. This year's performance is not good, but Qiqi and Yiyi's specialty class will not be renewed after she finishes her classes, and the credit card balance is limited. I will try my best to raise money for my mother, and I will not just watch my mother unable to be treated."
Hearing this, Ji's mother's smile has faded. Do you still have to advance the money for her treatment? Still need to save
Since she fell ill, she had millions in her hands, so she would not spare any money on medical treatment. She thought that all the money earned by Ji Huai and his wife would be used to treat her, so naturally she would use the best medicine.
If you make one million a year, you have to give her 800,000!
Ji Huai sighed again: "It would be great if I had assets. In this case, I could mortgage my money to treat my mother's illness. I would be willing to go bankrupt, but it's a pity that I have nothing."
Tian Jing was a little angry at first. Can their family survive? After he said this, Ji's mother's smile completely disappeared, and her anger subsided a little.
Ji Huai is not stupid. No amount of money is enough for Ji's mother's expenses. At that time, all he can afford is three months' salary and a credit card. Even if he is willing to go bankrupt, he still has no assets.
Even if Ji's mother forces them to death, she still has no money and there is really nothing she can do.
Only then did Ji's mother start to panic.
She spent most of the money in her hand, not only on medical treatment, but also on a lot of food, drinks and entertainment after she went to the capital. As Sister-in-law Ji said, she was going to die, so naturally she wanted to be free and unrestrained.
Now she doesn't want to worry about anything, she just wants to make herself live longer and happier.
Realizing that Brother Ji would not give her money, and Ji Huai could not afford a lot of money, she felt a sense of crisis. If all the money in her hand was spent, then she would really have no choice but to wait for death.
On the way back, Ji Huai asked Tian Jing: "How much money does our family have?"
This question immediately alerted her, "Let me tell you, although I don't make a fuss like my sister-in-law, I don't agree with Mom's way of spending money, so I won't take out the money. There is no problem with medical treatment, but she doesn't It was over-medicalized. The bag she carried today cost tens of thousands of dollars. Has she ever thought about us? "
It's not that she is heartless, it's that Ji's mother is really chilling.
"I didn't want to give the money to mom, I just asked. Didn't you say you wanted to buy that financial product last time? How much is the difference?" Ji Huai explained.
Tian Jing's face softened. She was in charge of the family's money. After thinking for a while, she still chose to believe him, "There is still 110,000 left. I will buy it when I can collect 500,000. I sold all the funds. The growth has been crazy, and the profit is also good, 40%. Including the money we spent on financial management last time, our current deposit is 1.39 million. This is all our family’s savings, which we have to save for buying a house. .”
The fund market has been good in the past two years, and she has a little knowledge of it, so she has made a small fortune. They have been out for three and a half years and have worked hard to save this little money.
Their salaries are not low, and both Ji Huai and her have received salary increases, but it is really not easy for them to raise two children.
He understood and continued, "There will be a bonus next month. I will transfer it to you then. If you have enough money, go and buy it."
Ji Huai didn't say anything about Ji's mother during the whole process. He couldn't get out the money he bought in a short time. After all, he was his mother. As long as the money he gave was not excessive, she would accept it. She was afraid that he would be too sad, so he thought about it for a moment, " You can also buy it later, or buy less, mom’s place... "
"Let her make trouble. I didn't give her all the insurance compensation. When she makes enough trouble and loses all the money, she will be obedient."
He knew Ji's mother's temperament very well, so he kept a secret.
Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to save money. The rent was too expensive and had risen to 10,000 yuan a month. She just wanted to make the down payment quickly and then buy their own house.
Although Ji's mother has a sense of crisis, she is still afraid of death. She can only say that she is not too lavish, but she still spends a lot of money.
A year and a half later, the little money was completely gone. Next, Ji Huai and Brother Ji were kidnapped by various moral standards, and they were seeking money even if they wanted to die.
At this time, she no longer cares about her son's situation. He just wants money and must give her money!
Sister-in-law Ji is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Brother Ji has no home now. She has four children to take care of. She wants to let Ji Shanshan go to work after graduating from elementary school. How can she have money to give him? He cursed every day and told Ji's mother to die.
Ji Huai didn't give her any money, he went through the hospitalization procedures for her and asked her to listen to the doctor.
Ji's mother wanted to force Ji Huai to give her money. She also wanted to go to the capital for medical treatment and asked him to get a loan. No matter what method she used, she had to get the money out.
Ji Huai ignored it and told her directly, "If you go to the capital for treatment and I don't stop you, the little money will only be enough for a month. I will divorce Tian Jing when I go back. It won't be enough anyway, and the credit report will be blacklisted." List, after this money is taken out, there will be no other money. Even if you want to go to the town to be hospitalized, I can’t get the money!"
Ji's mother didn't care if he and Tian Jingli divorced, she was just worried that Ji Huai would get divorced after being put on the credit blacklist, and she wouldn't be able to spend the money from the outsider. She was so afraid of death that she could only be obedient.
He had been over-medicated to begin with, and although he looked fine on the outside, his health was already in poor condition and he had entered the middle and late stages. The medical treatment provided by medical hospitals in the province was sufficient, and Ji's mother went to the capital just to spend more money to buy peace of mind.
Ji Huai didn't want to keep her insurance compensation for himself and continued to give her the best medicine. The money was enough to treat her.
Ji's mother kept jumping around and acting like a monster. In the later stage, she quickly became skinny and lost her energy. She screamed for life all day long and asked the doctor to save her.
At this time, how can you think about your grandson? She didn't care about Ji's father or son, she really wanted to live.
Brother Ji and Sister-in-law Ji were afraid of spending money, so they lost contact. Ji's father came over occasionally, and more often it was Ji Huai who came to see her. He didn't let Tian Jing get involved, and told her every time, "Just take care of yourself and your children." , I will watch over there at the hospital."
Ji's mother lasted for another half a year, during which she also stayed in the ICU for half a month. She really didn't want to die. Every time she told Ji Huai, she asked him to find the best doctor for her.
The late stage of cancer is very painful. Ji's mother was so tortured by my illness that she was worse than dead and her face was completely disfigured.
In the last few days, she could no longer eat. The painkillers and analgesic injections were gradually losing their effectiveness, and she howled in pain in bed. When Tian Jing took her daughter there, she happened to see Ji Tianqi and Ji Tianyi hiding behind their mother in fear.
Ji's mother was already skinny and skinny, and Xu knew that struggling was useless. She lay on the bed as angry as silk, and looked at Ji Tianqi and Ji Tianyi again.
These two granddaughters, whom she despised, were standing next to her bed. Tian Jing asked them to call her grandma, and the two of them called her grandma with childish voices.
Ji's mother struggled to squeeze out a smile, looked at the two of them carefully, and moved her hands to the bedside with difficulty.
Ji Tianqi saw that her grandma's fingers kept moving. She sensed the other person's intention and reached out to hold the other person's hand. Ji's mother smiled weakly again, held Ji Tianqi's fingers and moved them, then shook her back with very little strength. , after a while, he squeezed her back hard, then weakly let go of his hand, and moved the corners of his mouth.
Tian Jing couldn't hear clearly what Ji's mother said and didn't hesitate. On the way back, Ji Tianqi said to her, "Mom, grandma just said that we look really good-looking."
Her daughter's words echoed in her ears, and Tian Jing didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Ji's mother passed away that night. Just like in her previous life, Ji Huai was by her side. A few minutes before her death, Ji's mother kept crying and saying "I'm sorry."
In the previous life, he had not forgiven him. Because of Ji's mother's constant persecution, he lost the person he loved most. She also threatened him with death and made him marry a second-married woman and gave birth to a daughter. After the other party cheated on her, she said it was him. Incompetent, he also said that as long as he continued to give birth to sons, it would be fine.
He really hates the other party's moral kidnapping, and he also hates his own incompetence and cowardice.
Ji Huai took the initiative to hold Ji's mother's hand, shook his head and said softly, "It doesn't matter."
"Ding-"
A harsh sound sounded, and Ji Huai sat blankly on the bedside, looking at Ji's mother without moving.
All the bad experiences disappeared at this time, and what was left were more scenes of getting along with each other when they were young, bit by bit, scene after scene, playing in my mind.
After all, he had the gift of childbirth, so he couldn't let it go, but he didn't let Tian Jing get involved, and he rarely even talked to her about Ji's mother's affairs. He could handle it himself, and it was the favor he owed, not her.
