Chapter 25.3
The case was solved. It turned out that Ji Zhile really inherited it from her.
No, Ji Zhile was not born by her. Can the soul be inherited?
Si Tian looked complicated and then said to Ji Ningyi: “Ningyi, don’t tell Dad about this.”
Otherwise, she would have to be laughed at by Ji Jiangzhou again.
Ji Ningyi blinked: “Okay.”
He agreed without asking for any reason.
The corner of Si Tian’s lips curved: “This is our secret.”
Ji Ningyi also pursed his lips and smiled lightly: “Yes.”
His and his mother’s secret.
***
Si Tian also struggled tenaciously to get up during breakfast the next day, but she was the last one to reach the living room.
As soon as Ji Zhile saw her, he snorted heavily, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was angry.
Ji Ningyi said, “Mom, good morning.”
Si Tian also responded and then said, “Ningyi, I’ll take you to school this morning.”
Ji Ningyi said: “No need, Dad will take us there. Mom can just sleep at home.”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Jiangzhou looked up at Si Tian and did not speak, but Si Tian had already sensed strong ridicule from the inside.
Si Tian smiled awkwardly: “I don’t want to sleep that much either.”
There’s no way, she doesn’t know what’s wrong with the system, but it actually asked her to send the child to school. In order to keep her life for five days, Si Tian pinched her nose and dried it.
But Ji Ningyi did not know why his mother sent them to school today. He knew that his mother did not like to get up early. He just wanted to let his mother sleep more. Even if no one sent them, he could go to school by himself.
But if Mom insists, he will be very happy. He nodded and said: “Okay.”
Si Tian looked at the other child and asked, “Ji Zhile, what about you?”
Ji Zhile snorted heavily and turned his head: “I don’t want you!”
He is still angry. Last night, he wrote down a page full of grudges, densely packed full of Mom laughing at him. Ji Zhile swore he would remember it for the rest of his life!
Si Tian said: “Okay, then let Dad see you off.”
Ji Zhile gave the hand holding the spoon a pause and then angrily chopped up the eggs in the bowl, making a loud clang.
Si Tian frowned: “Are you still eating?”
Ji Zhile really wants to say that he doesn’t want to eat. But thinking of the last two experiences of wasting food, he can only pour milk into the bowl aggrievedly and drink the last few sips.
He ate very fast today. His brother and mother hadn’t finished eating yet, Ji Zhile said, “Dad, I’m going to school.”
He wants to go ahead of his brother.
Ji Zhile was angry for a whole day this time. Because the next day was Saturday, he told his father that he would go to sell bottles with Xiao Yuan today.
As usual, the uncle driver sent him downstairs to Xiao Yuan’s house. After seeing Xiao Yuan, Ji Zhile went with him to the waste recycling station. It would be closer to the park when going and the two children went together to walk by.
Ji Zhile held the garbage bag and said, “I won’t give my mother the money I earned.”
Xiao Yuan asked, “Why?”
Ji Zhile counted the bad things his mother did to him with his fingers: “She laughed at me for singing badly, only sent my brother to school, and forced me to eat eggs. I hate her.”
Xiao Yuan said, “Then what are you going to do with the money you earn?”
Ji Zhile thought for a while and said, “Keep it.”
Originally, he planned to buy a skirt for his mother, but now Ji Zhile doesn’t want to. He hates his mother!
After walking a few steps, Ji Zhile asked a little embarrassedly: “Xiao Yuan, is my singing really bad?”
Xiao Yuan frowned and thought, “The teacher said we all sing very well.”
Ji Zhile was not quite clear either. His eyes wandered aimlessly and suddenly saw an empty bottle on the lawn. His muscle memory was awakened. Ji Zhile ran over, picked up the bottle, and put them together in a garbage bag.
After finishing, he realized that he promised his father not to pick up bottles. Ji Zhile thought about it and said, “Xiao Yuan, we are protecting the environment, so we are not picking up bottles, right? You can’t throw things on the lawn.”
Xiao Yuan nodded vigorously: “Yes!”
Ji Zhile said, “Then let’s look for any bottles that were thrown around.”
Si Tian, who was following the two children from a distance, saw this scene and just wanted to help her forehead. Although Ji Zhile did not want them to go with him, they all knew that Ji Zhile was selling bottles, so the parents were naturally worried. Ji Jiangzhou is going to work, so Si Tian quietly follows.
She thought that the two children would play or buy something by themselves after selling the bottle, but she never expected that Ji Zhile would pick up the bottle.
This is the first time Si Tian has seen Ji Zhile pick up bottles in real life. He actually looks decent and he only picks up the bottles on the ground in a principled manner, not digging through the trash can.
Si Tian restrained her desire to go up and stop it. Ji Zhile had a strong temper. If he knew she was following them, he would definitely get angry again. It was obviously a small dumpling, but inside it was like an angry bag.
Ji Zhile now thinks that picking up bottles is very interesting. It turned out to be to make money and there was a little pressure. Now it is almost like playing games in kindergarten.
Just as the two children were playing in full swing, a young male voice suddenly sounded from the side.
“Kids, are you picking up bottles?”
Ji Zhile raised his head and found that standing in front of them was a young man wearing a hat. Ji Zhile was very vigilant and did not answer.
The man immediately handed the bottle to Ji Zhile: “I want to give you the empty bottle.”
Ji Zhile glanced at it, took it, and said politely, “Thank you, Uncle.”
The man coughed lightly and said, “Kids, you picked up bottles here last week, right? I saw you on TV.”
Xiao Yuan opened his eyes wide: “Really?”
Both children were curious and excited about being on TV, but they could not let their parents see, so they did not turn on the TV. But now they heard from others, so they were extremely excited.
“Yes, everyone likes you very much after watching TV. I am also a reporter. Can I interview you with a few questions?”
Originally, it was not allowed for parents to see. But they already knew about picking up the bottle, so Ji Zhile felt that there was no need to hide it.
Moreover, Ji Zhile was moved by this uncle’s liking. He was worried that his mother did not like him. If his mother saw the TV, would she like him?
So he nodded and then asked Xiao Yuan: “What about you, Xiao Yuan?”
Xiao Yuan shook his head: “I don’t want it.” He was afraid of being seen by his mother.
Ji Zhile stood upright and said bravely, “You ask.”
The man smiled: “How old are you, kid?”
“Three and a half years old.”
The man asked: “It’s great that you have come out to make money at such a young age.”
The corners of Ji Zhile’s lips curled up uncontrollably.
The man asked again: “You went out when you were only three years old, did your parents ask you to come to the park to pick up bottles?”
Ji Zhile was not very happy about this question and corrected it seriously: “No, I came here on my own.”
“Why do you want to come? Children as old as you want to play more. Is it because your parents treat you badly?”
Ji Zhile frowned: “They treat me very well. I don’t want to accept your interview.”
He thought this uncle was a bad person, so he turned around and pulled Xiao Yuan to leave. But the man stopped them and asked, “Last time you said that your mother hurts when beating people, does she often beat you?”
Ji Zhile was a little scared and flustered. He wanted to run while pulling Xiao Yuan: “No, no, my mother doesn’t beat people!”
