Chapter 259: Cold-Hearted
Mother Ji realized something. She looked at her son-in-law and asked, “Is it because she doesn't want to feed her?”
Li Zhi sighed. “She said she wants to go to work.”
He wouldn’t have made this trip if it wasn’t for the fact that the only really good milk powder was sold at the college town.
If he went to the college town early, then he could come back in the evening.
It was not as easy compared to how his third brother-in-law's employees drove themselves.
That's why he made this trip to bring milk powder back. He had to go back to take care of his daughter. As for his daughter's mother, he couldn’t count on her.
When Mother Ji heard this, the anger in her heart boiled up. She didn't understand. How could she raise such a daughter?
How old was her granddaughter now? She was about to be one month old, and her daughter actually wanted to feed her milk powder instead of breastfeeding?
“I will do this for you. As for her, I can't help but feel sorry for you.” Mother Ji sighed.
“If she goes to work, what will happen to my granddaughter in the future? You have to go back to school too,” Mother Ji wondered.
“School starts on September 1st. I can still take care of her for two months. She will be almost three months old by then. I will take her back and let my mother take care of her,” Li Zhi said.
Mother Ji nodded. “If she is not free, just bring her over here.”
“Okay.” Li Zhi originally wanted to disagree, but after thinking about it, he nodded.
He saw that the children raised by his third and fourth brother-in-law were raised well. He also wanted to have his daughter here to be raised, but he still had his parents. How could he ask his mother-in-law to take care of such a young child?
So he just responded like this first.
After Li Zhi returned, Mother Ji complained to Father Ji, “This daughter of ours is really harmful.”
If this wasn't her daughter, she would have most likely persuaded Li Zhi to get a divorce. But there was nothing she could do about it. Ji Yunyun was her daughter, so what could she do?
Father Ji didn't respond, he just remained silent. After a while, he said, “If Li Zhi brings the child over, let's help him raise her.”
Mother Ji didn't say anything either. What else could she do?
She was also very helpless with such a daughter.
Mother Ji then said, “I wonder how mother-in-law would react if she knew about it.”
Father Ji didn’t respond again.
Li Zhi also went to Su Danhong’s house to say goodbye before going back. Although Su Danhong didn't know what was going on with him, she has her guesses. Ji Yunyun was probably acting like a demon. If she wasn’t, then he would not be trying to buy milk powder.
The milk powder at this time was not cheap, especially the imported ones. While Su Danhong was willing to buy some for Renren and Qiqi to drink, even Yun Lili was not willing to spend the money on it despite loving Yan'er.
It seemed like Ji Yunyun was already going to wean her child. Su Danhong shook her head and said nothing.
When Ji Jianyun came back at noon, Su Danhong mentioned it.
Ji Jianyun did not have a good impression of his sister now. For a grown man like him to feel this, it shows how disappointing his sister was.
He knew what happened to Qiqi and his grandma last time because Qiqi complained to him. Su Danhong didn't teach him how to do this. This mischievous boy complained like that on his own. He didn't know where he learned to do it.
But this complaint made his father dislike his sister.
But even if he didn't like her, when Ji Yunyun gave birth to her child, Ji Jianyun still brought two hens over. He thought her temper would get better after the child was born, but he didn't expect it to get worse.
Ji Jianyun was silent and didn't say anything, but Su Danhong still felt that her man was angry.
It was not her intention to have her man worry about these things when he was so busy. Su Danhong was not happy. She also made a note about Ji Yunyun. She vowed that she would never talk about anything related to her at home.
When Xu Heshan came back in the afternoon, Ji Jianyun brought three cans of milk powder and went over to see his niece.
He just came over to take a look and didn't say much.
“Third brother, how much do these three cans of milk powder cost?” Ji Yunyun asked as she rolled her eyes.
“These are all imported and relatively expensive. It was five yuan a can,” Ji Jianyun replied.
“It’s that expensive?” Ji Yunyun exclaimed.
“Third brother, this is 15 yuan.” Li Zhi gave him 15 yuan.
Ji Yunyun was a little unhappy and asked, “Third brother, why can’t these three cans of milk powder for your niece be free?”
“How can he do that?!” Li Zhi defended.
Ji Jianyun smiled at Li Zhi and said, “It's okay. I'll give it to my niece for free this time, and you can pay me next time.”
“Third brother, this won't work,” Li Zhi said quickly.
“It's nothing. What's wrong with me buying some milk powder for my niece? You can take her back for a visit when you have the time,” Ji Jianyun said.
“Okay.” Li Zhi nodded and kept the 15 yuan.
Ji Jianyun played with his niece for a while and then went back.
As soon as Ji Jianyun left, Li Zhi glanced at Ji Yunyun and said, “If you do this again next time, don't blame me for falling out with you!”
Ji Yunyun glared and said, “Li Zhi, why are you getting more and more angry? Who do you think I’m doing this for? Didn’t I just save you some money!”
“You are just trying to take advantage of him. You think I don’t know what your intentions are?” Li Zhi questioned lightly.
“You want to fight, don't you?” Ji Yunyun responded angrily.
“If you want to work, go ahead and do it,” Li Zhi said without saying anything more to her.
“I'm going to work and live in a dormitory. I won't come back to live here!” Ji Yunyun shouted.
“Whatever.” Li Zhi didn't care.
Ji Yunyun was so angry that she vowed she would never come back to live here! She was going to just let him live with his daughter!
Li Zhi really didn't care. Now that he had bought the milk powder, Ji Yunyun simply stopped breastfeeding. So the next day, Li Zhi started to make milk powder for his daughter.
He took good care of her during pregnancy, so the little girl grew well in her mother's womb. After the confinement, the little girl was white and tender, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
Because it was a holiday, Li Zhi took his daughter back home. He asked Ji Yunyun if she would go with him. If she didn’t, he would let her live in the county town by herself. He didn't care.
After what she had caused for his daughter, he became cold-hearted towards this young and ignorant wife.
If it wasn’t for this and for the sake of her maternal family, he would most likely divorce her.
As for Ji Jianyun, when he got home, he told his wife, “My niece looks like Li Zhi, not like her mother.”
There was a hint of joy in his tone. He liked this child. Since he had two sons, he could only look at his niece with envy.
Su Danhong smiled and did not answer. She only touched her belly and said, “I hope this is a girl.”
“It doesn't matter if it's a son or a daughter, I don't care about that,” Ji Jianyun said immediately.
He didn't want to add any burdens on his wife.
