Elder Ji’s sudden death was a huge blow to the Ji family.

The current year was not good, so Old Master Ji’s funeral could only be simplified.

Three days later, Old Master Ji, who had been at home for three days, was buried on a hill in the back of Pomegranate Village. He was buried in peace.

After the funeral was over, Madam Xie brought Ji Chen to Ji Zhao.

“Ah Tao, I really have no choice…” Madam Xie lowered her head guiltily. “I don’t have much ability. I can’t take good care of Chenchen anymore. Chenchen will be handed over to you in the future…”

Ji Zhao had already heard that Madam Xie’s maternal family had already found a marriage for her.

Therefore, as a burden, Madam Xie could not take Ji Chen away.

Madam Xie thought about it and finally decided to target Ji Zhao.

“Grandpa’s bones are not cold yet. Grandma, are you going to remarry?” Ji Zhao lowered her eyes to hide the ridicule in her eyes and asked softly.

“I… I have no choice!” Madam Xie wiped her tears aggrievedly. She was extremely sad. “I know that I’ve let your grandfather down by doing this, but I really have no choice. Ah Tao, you… can you help Grandma? Please?”

Ji Zhao did not speak, but stared at the old woman in front of her.

Madam Xie’s brows and eyes were very good-looking. Even her wrinkles could not hide her exquisite eyes.

However, she was still too cold.

“I can take care of Ji Chen.” Ji Zhao took a deep breath, then looked into her eyes and said in a deep voice, “But I have a request. You can’t take away the Ji family’s house and fields, nor can you sell them. All of them must be left to Ji Chen.”

“Dream on!” Madam Xie spat at her angrily. “I thought you were being kind and wanted to be a competent sister. I didn’t expect you to have already targeted the Ji family’s farmland? Ji Ah Tao, are you shameless?”

Madam Xie’s original plan was to give Ji Chen, this burden, to Ji Atao. Then, she would sell the Ji Ffamily’s property and seize the money before marrying someone else.

Ji Zhao’s request had touched her interests! It had completely angered her!

“Grandma, you and I are not from the Ji family.” Ji Zhao crossed her arms and looked at her quietly. She said calmly, “Grandpa has passed away from an illness. The Ji family’s farmland originally belonged to Ji Chen. Now that Grandpa’s corpse is not cold, Grandma, you want to sell his assets and marry someone else. If word gets out…”

“Take Ji Chen away. Ji Chen can take away half of the Ji family’s farmland.” After some deliberation, Madam Xie reluctantly gave in!

“Words cannot be proved. Why don’t you write it down?”

“… You win!” Madam Xie gritted her teeth and glared at her. In the end, she returned to the inner room unwillingly.

Regarding the fact that Madam Xie wanted to marry someone else before Old Master Ji’s corpse was cold, rumors spread in the village, with mixed opinions.

It was not until someone saw Madam Xie cry until she fainted in front of Old Master Ji’s tombstone again and again that the rumors gradually subsided.

After getting the Ji family’s land that Ji Chen deserved from the village chief of Pomegranate Village, Ji Zhao brought Ji Chen back to Shanghe Village.

“Sister… Sister… Grandmother… don’t want… Chen… Chen…?” Ji Chen nervously grabbed Ji Zhao’s sleeve, his dark eyes filled with confusion.

“Chenchen, be good!” Ji Zhao bent down and rubbed his little head. She smiled gently and said, “From now on, you will live with your sister!”

“Okay…”

Ji Zhao did not bring Ji Chen back to the Shen residence. Instead, she went back to the temple first.
