Ji Changze, who came with malted milk and money, became more and more popular in the Liu family.
In the absence of Father Liu and Mother Liu, both husband and wife, entertained him.
Liu Huifen fried vegetables happily and was willing to put more oil and salt, and then the three of them started to eat.
They didn’t have any rules. Ji Changguang asked his brother how he made so much money in two months. Ji Changguang told them again according to the words he said to Father Ji and Mother Ji.
Ji Changguang and Liu Huifen: “…”
They both know how hard warning money was.
As a result, Ji Changze had earned so much money by being lazy.
They turned it around in their minds, thinking there was nothing wrong with the logic.
But the bottom of their hearts, they felt, it was strange.
Ji Changze said again while boasting, “I have earned so much money through my personal efforts and my hard work and simplicity. I am about to get married, so I came back.”
The expressions of Ji Changguang and Liu Huifen were very speechless.
Although they both felt good about this younger brother now but with all the things Ji Changze has done, they can’t really praise him for his hard work and simplicity in good conscience.
Liu Huifen opened her mouth first and boasted with a smile: “Changze is smart. As I told you, you are sure to have a bright future.”
Ji Changze smiled and took a bite of food: “Yes, I knew that I had great prospects since I was a child, and I also knew that I would make a lot of money. Why else would I not have worked much all these years?”
Liu Huifen: “… does it matter if you make a lot of money while not working?”
Ji Changze snapped his fingers and said to them, “I’m promising, aren’t I? Mom told me since I was a child that I’m smart, and I’m sure I can make a lot of money in the future. Right, Brother?”
Ji Changguang nodded and testified for his brother; “Yes, Mom often says so.”
Then he added, “But when I was a child, Mom told me the same thing.”
A common saying was: Changguang, your brain is as smart as Moms. When you grow up and earn a lot of money, you must be filial to your father and me.
“Brother, aren’t you good now?”
Ji Changze calculated to him, “Look at you, you have food and drink, you’re a worker, you can get a little over 20 yuan as salary every month. My sister-in-law is such a beautiful wife, and Uncle and Aunt are such good Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, you are simply a winner in life!”
Ji Changguang straightened his chest, involuntarily by what he said.
Liu Huifen, who was praised for her beauty, turned red and touched her face.
It’s really quite embarrassing that Changze, the kid, took that nonsense as the truth, really making a person embarrassed.
Ji Changze ate a peanut and continued to boast, “Mom is right. Both of us have great achievements. I knew from an early age that I would have great achievements in the future, the kind that earned hundreds of yuan every month, so I didn’t work. I don’t go down to the field, and I don’t do anything.”
Liu Huifen, who was shy and proud: “???”
Ji Changze looked confident and held out his hand to Liu Huifen, “Sister-in-law, look at my hand.”
Because they don’t do farm work and don’t bask in the sun, these hands were slender and white and had clear joints. They are quite lovely.
“What happened to your hand?”
Ji Changze: “These hands of mine are hands that can make a lot of money if I use them for farm work, wouldn’t it be a waste!”
It seemed to make some sense…
Ji Changguang suddenly realized, “Is that why you’re always sneaking around, being lazy, and not working?”
Ji Changze: “What do you mean sneaking? I am open and honest. I work every day with my back to the sun. I don’t even earn a yuan a day. What am I wasting this energy for? Isn’t that a waste of time!?”
He sat up straight, his face full of pride, “I want to make a lot of money! Why do you want to tire yourself out for a little money?”
Ji Changguang thought about it, too, and nodded in favor.
“Yeah, I can’t blame you for not working all the time, but you kept it to yourself and didn’t tell me, so I thought you were lazy on purpose.”
Ji Changze: “I said it many times, but you didn’t believe it.”
Ji Changguang recalled it, and it really was said many times.
Was it? ‘I just took a little money from you. I’ll pay you back later when I’m rich.’
And ‘What’s wrong with how much I eat, how much my family will enjoy eating when I’m successful.’
The most common thing to say is, ‘In the future, I will be sure to be filial to my parents so that they live in a big house and eat chicken and duck every day.’
It’s just that he always thought that Changze was just sweet-mouthed, and he was wronged. He felt that he was doing the right things, and Changze only painted sweet things with his mouth, and his parents were biased towards Changze.
Now that he thought about it, Changze was serious.
Ji Changguang felt guilty for being petty and gave his younger brother a dish: “I see, I misjudged you before, and thought you were just talking big and didn’t think about repaying the money at all. So, Older Brother is giving you an apology.”
“Hey, we are brothers in a family. It’s nothing.”
Ji Changze waved generously, “I forgive you.”
The nearby Liu Huifen was still in the shock of having her three views reformed.
(TNote: three views = view on the world, view on values, view on life.)
Over the years, Ji Changze has been conscientiously lazy, trying seriously not to work, and all sorts of righteous, uppity, cheeky demands.
It was not because he was shameless, but because he felt that he would make outstanding achievements in the future, and he could return these things.
What a magical way of thinking was this?
The incredible thing was that: He! Actually! Really! Had! Ambition!
And he really came to pay back the money.
Liu Huifen finally figured it out.
It turned out that they were all wrong about Ji Changze.
He’s not shameless to squeeze his brother and sister-in-law but was overconfident in himself.
Ji Changze had been waiting patiently for Father Liu to come back.
By the way, it really was a bit of a hassle to visit the hospital nowadays.
If you don’t have any connections, that all kinds of things might be unclear.
With a connection, and you’ll be considered by others as being connected. It’s not a nice thing to be called a ‘relation’ these days. It’s a despicable thing to be called.
But it was nothing for Ji Changze, being thick-skinned and tough.
But An Xiaolu was soft-tempered, and she couldn’t stand it.
Ji Changze didn’t regard it as a difficult problem.
He was just wondering when Father Liu would come back.
Father Liu returned soon.
When he came back, he listened to his daughter, only to find out that Ji Changze had made remarkable achievements. Surprisingly, he brought malted milk to see them, and he was so happy.
He kept saying, “I knew Changze was a promising man.”
He’s just Ji Changguang’s younger brother. Even if he made money, he didn’t have to buy anything, but he actually bought it.
Not only did he buy it, but he also bought an expensive gift like malted milk.
This young man was simply too sincere and too capable.
Father Liu took Ji Changze by the hand and continued to teach him how to play chess.
While playing chess, they can’t help but talk.
At some point, they talked about their relatives.
Ji Changze said, “Uncle, don’t look at me like I’m making a lot of money now. In fact, it’s not easy to make money these days, except for those with high academic qualifications, such as doctors and teachers, who can go to work as soon as they come out. It’s nice to make money with a good reputation.”
Father Liu was reminded and casually said:
“Speaking of, my nephew is as productive as you, and he became a doctor at a very young age.”
Ji Changze moved a chess piece and asked with great interest, “He must be very respected, then?”
“Not really. There aren’t that many people in the hospital anyway.”
Ji Changze already guessed that no one had any money on hand right now, and the hospital charges were relatively expensive.
Like An Xiaolu, her muteness and her mother’s illness was attended by the town’s doctor’s office.
And so, it also took all of their family’s savings and only saved Mother An.
Father Liu indeed said, “That hospital is a Western hospital, and expensive, everyone believes in Chinese medicine, and they aren’t willing to go to the hospital.”
He casually stated, “Anyway, my nephew says he’s still learning, but there isn’t even a patient for him to learn from, and the doctors at the hospital have all got nothing better to do.”
As he spoke, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He whispered to Ji Changze, “Especially in obstetrics and gynecology, the doctor who is in charge of childbirth. Nobody would come for ten days to half a month.”
In the end, no future generations are opening up.
For example, if a woman is suffering from some unspoken disease or has a baby, she would either get her medication without checking or make her own at home.
Few women were willing to undress and get checked in front of a doctor.
Not even a female doctor.
Ji Changze nodded to show his understanding.
“Eh, Uncle, how about this, my fiancée, she had a high fever which made her mute. Why don’t I go to your nephew to take a look at it? Even if it can’t be cured, it’s also considered a favor to the relatives’ ah…”
Father Liu knew An Xiaolu and knew that the girl had a bright future, but she had a high fever and was mute.
He had a good impression of Ji Changze, and now he was willing to take the girl to see a doctor, but also to help his nephew. He immediately had a better impression.
It’s a favor to his nephew.
He readily agreed and thought that Ji Changze could handle affairs and value their family.
Why else would he go to a hospital where his nephew was, instead of going to so many other hospitals?
He couldn’t help saying, “Isn’t this too expensive? It costs money to go to the hospital.”
Ji Changze waved, his face looking like he didn’t care:
“It’s okay, that’s Uncle’s nephew, also considered my brother. I want to help my brother. Spending some money is nothing.”
Father Liu thought that the boy was even better.
“Changze, don’t worry. My nephew isn’t the kind to be ungrateful. If you help him kindly, he will definitely appreciate you!”
Ji Changze, who has successfully transformed himself from an unpopular ‘relation’ into a ‘medical activist,’ has the words ‘He doesn’t want fame and fortune’ written all over his face.
“It’s something I should do.”
Father Liu moved a chess piece and sighed again.
Changze is such a good man!
