Inside the supermarket.
Ji Huai pushed a shopping cart, and Jiang Jie stood beside him. She took the lead to go to the freezer in front, picked out a few steaks, and put them in the car: "This steak is good, let's eat it tomorrow."
"Yeah." He looked at the shelf aside.
"Go over there and buy some vegetables." After Jiang Jie finished speaking, seeing that he still didn't leave, she took a step back and reached out to hold his hand, "Let's go."
He was pulled by her, with a smile in his eyes, and he moved forward.
"What vegetables should I buy? Do you eat carrots? Where are the green vegetables?" Jiang Jie turned her head, meeting his look, and raised the corners of her mouth, "Aren't you hungry? You bought it early and went home."
"Not hungry." He smiled slightly.
"I'm hungry."
Ji Huai: "Buy some cooked food."
Not far from the vegetable section was the cooked food section. He raised his hand, held her shoulder and led her towards that end.
Jiang Jie also went with him, lowering her head and choosing carefully.
She originally wanted to buy something to eat in a hurry and then go back to cook. She went to the supermarket with him, but she didn't want to go back so early. I bought vegetables and cooked food, and also bought fruits.
Picking and picking, filling the shopping cart.
When she couldn't pretend anymore, she felt a little embarrassed. At this time, she was still holding a box of cookies in her hand.
"Give it to me." Ji Huai pushed the shopping cart and stretched out his hand towards her.
"I don't want this anymore."
"It's okay." He reached for it, looked at her and asked, "Do you want to buy anything else?"
Jiang Jie shook her head.
Ji Huai pushed the shopping cart to check out, and she followed him.
On the way back, the two communicated more, and Jiang Jie also told him what happened this morning. Ji Huai was driving and would occasionally say a few words.
Hearing her words to the end, he frowned in thought, and then asked, "Are what I said very profound?"
"Fortunately." Jiang Jie looked at him, "We didn't seem to have any in-depth exchange of views, so we didn't feel it. Besides, there were no conflicts."
The two of them were busy with their own things when they were in the same room, and they had such a tacit understanding that they knew what the other wanted to do just by looking at each other. Ji Huai is reserved and doesn't talk too much.
"Life is not academic. What profound topics need to be communicated?" Ji Huai's words were neither salty nor bland, "Isn't the lack of conflict due to tolerance?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jie was really startled: "You brought up a brand new point of view."
She always thought it was because there was little contact and there was nothing worth causing conflict with.
Ji Huai had a slight smile on his face and didn't say much.
This is something that has always existed for them, but has not been specifically mentioned by the two of them. If there is no like and love, how can we be tolerant and accepting
When teeth and tongues still collide, two people must be tolerant and compromise when getting along.
The car drove into the community and they entered the elevator with their bags. In the elevator, Jiang Jie's hand hurt from carrying the ingredients, and Ji Huai took the bag from her hand.
She didn't try to show off and opened the bag: "I'm looking for the key."
"I have it in my pocket." Ji Huai had something in both hands, making it inconvenient to take.
Jiang Jie's bag was stuffed with a lot of things, and she didn't bother to look for it. She walked up to him and put her hand into his left pocket.
"On the right." Ji Huai reminded with a smile.
"Didn't you tell me earlier?" She took out her hand and reached into his other pocket.
Ji Huai: "You reached out too quickly."
"Hey." Jiang Jie stood up straight, and the two of them were close to each other, their eyes met. Ji Huai did not avoid it, his eyes also fell on her face, and he raised his eyes with a little pleasure.
She didn't dodge, she pursed her lips and smiled broadly.
The elevator door opened at this time. Jiang Jie turned around and walked out. When she saw the person standing at the door, her expression gradually faded, and her eyebrows frowned unconsciously.
Yuan Hongjun looked at them and looked up and down for a while.
Jiang Jie's hands were empty, while Ji Huai was carrying two big bags. Her expression suddenly dropped.
It's not that I feel sorry for Ji Huai, but I just feel unhappy. She felt even more deeply that Jiang Jie was instigating Ji Huai to not have children.
"Mom, you didn't say anything when you came." Jiang Jie called politely, took the key and stepped forward to open the door.
Yuan Hongjun: "Do I still need to report to you when I come here?"
She stayed in Yuan's house and waited on Mrs. Yuan. When her condition improved, she came out. During this period of time, she was physically and mentally exhausted and simmering with anger, which made Jiang Jie unable to look good.
Before Jiang Jie could say anything, Ji Huai had already answered: "Are you eating gunpowder at noon? If you don't say hello, how will we know you are here?"
Yuan Hongjun was choked and walked in angrily.
She was afraid that Ji Huai would deliberately make excuses to prevent her from coming, so she stayed at the door.
Jiang Jie entered the kitchen, and Ji Huai poured water for her with a cup. This time he did not sit across from her, but said, "Mom, sit down first, and we will cook."
It's getting late now, he has to go and do some work with her.
Yuan Hongjun didn't eat either, so he didn't stop him.
They bought a lot of cooked food. Originally they wanted to fry steak, but Yuan Hongjun definitely wouldn't eat it, so they fried a few more vegetables, cooked the rice, and took out the dishes.
Yuan Hongjun had barely waited for them to invite her to the table for dinner. Jiang Jie would do the right etiquette and treat her mother-in-law in a low voice. That would not work. She could only say a few nice words.
Ji Huai is her son, let her son do it.
He didn't ask Jiang Jie to do anything. He also served Yuan Hongjun the rice. She seemed very filial and obedient.
Yuan Hongjun was very satisfied with his behavior and his behavior was decent.
At the dinner table, the three of them did not communicate and ate in silence.
Yuan Hongjun had only eaten half a bowl of rice before she put down her chopsticks. Ji Huai filled a bowl of soup for her. She took a spoon and took small sips of it into her mouth.
Because she was in a hurry, she made tomato and egg soup today. She took two sips and looked disgusted.
Jiang Jie didn't notice. She was a little hungry. When she was about to serve the rice, Ji Huai silently took her bowl. She reminded: "Just half a bowl is fine."
She has already eaten a bowl.
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
Yuan Hongjun caught a glimpse of the two men's movements, and his expression darkened again.
Jiang Jie naturally felt her displeasure and started eating a little faster. If you don't eat, you may not be able to eat anymore after a while, so you need to eat more.
After she finished eating, she took the initiative to clear away the dishes and went to the kitchen to cut fruit.
The visitor is a guest, and she should behave well.
Ji Huai and Yuan Hongjun were sitting in the living room, and Jiang Jie heard some conversations intermittently in the kitchen. Before she could finish washing the fruits, the conversation broke out there.
Yuan Hongjun wanted to live here and interfere with their relationship, but Ji Huai refused.
During the dispute, Ji Huai revealed that he had undergone sterilization.
Yuan Hongjun's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly, his voice sharp and harsh: "What did you say?!"
This was an outcome she didn't expect. Ji Huai had been controlled by her since he was a child and had never won a fight. She felt that this time it just took a little longer, and it would eventually go as she wanted.
"This surgery is irreversible." Ji Huai added.
He felt that there was no need to add trouble, so he discussed this with the doctor.
"Did I allow you to do this? Huh?" Yuan Hongjun's cheeks twitched and he felt dizzy.
"This is my decision, and Xiaojie agrees." Ji Huai's expression remained unchanged.
Yuan Hongjun wanted to say something else, but he took a big breath, and couldn't catch his last breath. Jiang Jie had already passed out from anger before she took the fruit out.
The next step was to rush to the hospital.
After busying herself up and down, Jiang Jie felt lucky that she was full. Otherwise, why would she have gone through so much trouble
The hospital checked him out and said he was fine. Ji Huai and Jiang Jie sat on chairs in the corridor, looked at each other a few times, and then looked at the ward together.
She sighed silently: "You should have left yourself a way out."
Both of them knew that Yuan Hongjun would react so hugely because she felt that she was out of her control. The same was true for the Jiang family's education of her.
It's not because I feel sorry for them, it's because I haven't achieved my goal.
"What's the point of leaving a way out? You want to have a baby?" Ji Huai turned to look at her, and when she didn't say anything, he continued, "You have a cold palace and a weak body, and you have no expectations for a baby. You have to endure this." Sin?"
"I won't go." She didn't hesitate and reached out to hold his arm, "But what should I tell my mother when she wakes up? The first person she attacks is me. I'm afraid she hates me to death."
If she wanted to conceive, it would not be easy. She would have to take a lot of medicine and suffer. Giving birth would be even more difficult because her body constitution would not allow it.
Ji Huai: "Didn't you say it? If we can't solve it, it's my problem."
She looked at him and smiled, ready to carry it with him, but he refused.
When Yuan Hongjun woke up, he saw that Jiang Jie was so excited that she couldn't hide her temper. There was hatred and disgust in her eyes, and she kept accusing her of "bringing evil" to Ji Huai.
Ji Huai asked her to go back, but Jiang Jie didn't ask for trouble. She generously made an excuse and came back from the hospital.
She never confronted the Yuan family head-on. In the past, she would pull Ji Huai out to block him, and then she would do whatever she had to do. I got home today, but I was a little bored.
I can't work anymore and can't concentrate.
She looked at her phone several times and couldn't help but send a message to Ji Huai: "How's it going?"
He did not immediately respond to messages.
Jiang Jie turned on the computer and continued working on the courseware. During this period, she couldn't help but look at her phone several times.
"Ding."
When her phone rang, she took it out immediately.
Ji Huai: "It's okay."
She stared at these two words and put the phone aside. Two minutes later, she picked up the phone and called him back: "What are you doing?"
Yuan Hongjun was difficult to deal with, and she didn't know what he would do. She was worried about him.
Ji Huai didn't reply for a long time, so she couldn't hold it back and called him.
He didn't answer the first call, nor the second one. Five minutes later, he called her back and said in a gentle voice: "What's wrong?"
"I care about you." Jiang Jie put her hands on the table and said into the phone.
Ji Huai: "Well, I won't go back for a while. You can eat by yourself."
There was nothing unusual in his voice, and she couldn't let go of her worries, so she took the initiative to raise the topic: "Where's mom?"
Ji Huai: "I'm doing a checkup."
Yuan Hongjun was more afraid of death than anyone else. After getting angry, he felt that he was so angry that he felt uncomfortable all over and was doing various examinations.
Jiang Jie: "Shall I deliver food to you later?"
"You've managed to avoid the battlefield and are here to be scolded?" He laughed at her, "Just stay at home and I will take care of it. It's useless for you to come."
"Before, I would have been hiding." She muttered.
Ji Huai smiled lowly on the other end and said gently: "I'm hiding this time too."
Jiang Jie was silent for a moment, placing her hands on the keyboard, tapping lightly unconsciously, and whispered: "I'm worried about you."
"I can't let you come and stay home for a few days, right? Isn't mom in poor health recently? Go back and stay with mom." The home he mentioned refers to the Jiang family.
"Much better." She didn't say anything back, nor could she say no.
The Jiang family was inhumane, and they were under control there, so it would be better to stay at home with him and be more comfortable.
Yuan Hongjun seemed to be making trouble there again. She heard scolding, and Ji Huai hurriedly hung up the phone.
Jiang Jie was even more worried and was in no mood to do anything else.
Hospital.
Yuan Hongjun was furious and weak when she woke up. She had no helpers, and it was impossible for her to tell the Yuan family that it was her failure and she would be ridiculed.
Jiang Jie, who was the best way to vent her anger, was gone. Ji Huai seemed to be determined and ignored the properties she mentioned and offered to give up the inheritance.
"Okay, let this matter go and divorce her immediately." Yuan Hongjun said this with a gloomy face and squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.
"impossible."
"Snapped."
… .
A crisp sound startled the nurses who came in. Yuan Hongjun exhausted all her strength, her palms were numb, and her whole body was shaking with anger: "I say it again, divorce! Otherwise, don't recognize me as your mother."
Ji Huai's expression didn't change, and he didn't even take it seriously. He just looked at her calmly and spoke slowly: "I'm divorced. Have you ever considered who else will accept me? Or do you just want to teach Jiang Jie a lesson?" , vent your grievances.”
His eyes seemed to be penetrating, making Yuan Hongjun feel ashamed.
Ji Huai added: "Jiang Jie is from the Jiang family, and she just married me. This matter has nothing to do with her, and it is my own decision. Divorce is impossible."
Coming from a family like theirs, they had never been beaten since childhood, but they had a lot of psychological trauma. What does this mean
Yuan Hongjun raised her hand again and looked at the side of his face that was slapped red. She felt so guilty that she did not take action a second time. She emphasized again: "No matter what the reason is, divorce her and let her move out."
The house was bought by Ji Huai, not the Jiang family.
"If you like that house, we will move out and buy another one somewhere else." Ji Huai did not pick up another topic.
"Didn't you understand what I said?" Yuan Hongjun raised his voice.
Ji Huai: "I found a nurse for you. If you need anything, tell her. If you feel uncomfortable, take this opportunity to get a full physical examination. I have something to do and will come see you tomorrow."
Before he could finish his words, he turned around and left.
Yuan Hongjun shouted: "Ji Huai!"
He didn't stop, just pretending not to hear.
"Ji Huai, come back here." Yuan Hongjun also panicked and walked towards the door.
When she came out, Ji Huai could no longer see anyone.
Her palms were still numb. When she lifted them up, she saw that the entire palms were red, showing how much effort she had put into them. She was so angry that she became ruthless.
In her impression, she had never beaten Ji Huai. He had been outstanding since she was a child. He was her source of confidence and something she could show off in the Ji family and the Yuan family.
She became increasingly unsure, feeling that the things she had in her hands were slowly slipping out of her control.
Ji Huai didn't answer the phone after leaving. She was more determined than ever on this matter. She got angry in the hospital and was unable to do anything in the end.
PARKING LOT.
Ji Huai sat in the car and pondered, thinking about going to school. Just as he was about to start the car, Jiang Jie sent him a message. He replied a few words, and she called him again.
"Aren't you coming back tonight?" she asked softly.
"Um."
He wanted to go back to school first and talk about it later.
"Oh." She was a little disappointed, "Have you eaten?"
"Eat." He lied, "What about you?"
Jiang Jie: "Didn't eat."
"Why haven't you eaten yet?" He frowned slightly.
"I have no appetite. Do you want to come back and eat something with me?" She rarely said this kind of thing, as if she mustered up the courage, and half-jokingly, "I cooked a few dishes and made chicken soup."
Ji Huai hesitated.
She asked again: "Is there still trouble over there?"
"No."
He didn't say he was coming back. Jiang Jie looked at the food in front of her and couldn't eat it anymore: "Should I go to the hospital?"
"Need not."
…
The two were in a stalemate. Jiang Jie heard the whistle and knew that he was not in the ward, so she asked where he was.
Ji Huai made an excuse: "Go downstairs and buy something."
Jiang Jie didn't know what to say on the other end. When he was about to hang up, she suddenly said, "Can't you come back and stay with me at night? I will suffer from insomnia if I sleep alone."
