Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 101: Playing the victim to gain sympathy

As soon as the words left her mouth, Guo Xiaolan regretted them.

She hasn't even been a month old yet, and she can't tell anyone. She's so angry that her brain short-circuited.

"Um... I'm not stable yet, so please don't tell anyone else that I'm pregnant."

Wu Gang was the first to react, "Of course, congratulations, sister-in-law!"

Ji Sisi's first thought was, "It's good to be young; even if you get injured, it won't stop you from getting better."

"Ji Sisi, what are you saying!" Guo Xiaolan realized that Ji Sisi was teasing her, and her face turned red.

"To be honest, I'm going to work now, Comrade Wu, remember what I told you!"

Ji Sisi rode away on her bicycle.
-
Office of Team Six, Huaihua

Ji Sisi had just arrived and hadn't even entered the office when someone called her to stop.

"Sisi!" It was Liu Lan's voice.

Turning around, I saw Liu Lan riding her bicycle on the muddy path. "Director Yan is coming back this afternoon. She wants you and Captain Ma to go to the commune to prepare for a meeting."

"Row!"

Liu Lan didn't stop, "Then I'll go to another team, come early this afternoon!"

"it is good!"

Captain Ma was in the field not far away when he heard Liu Lan's voice. Without even washing his hands, he hurriedly returned to the office.

"Captain Ma, you're back just in time. Let's have an early lunch today, and then we'll go to the commune for a meeting. Director Yan should have brought back the results by now."

Captain Ma looked as if he had aged several years overnight.

"Sisi, do you think we can get through this? I heard from Brother Liu yesterday that medicine is hard to buy, and it might not even be available in the city. What if we run out of medicine..."

Captain Ma's dark circles under his eyes caught Ji Sisi's attention.

"Captain Ma, as long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems. There will be a way to solve this. Don't let yourself collapse before the problem is even solved."

Captain Ma nodded, said nothing, but kept sighing.

After lunch, Captain Ma insisted on giving Ji Sisi a ride. However, after pedaling for only one kilometer, Captain Ma reduced the frequency of communication with Ji Sisi, and all that could be heard was his panting.

Ji Sisi had no choice; she couldn't go against Captain Ma's wishes.

She couldn't very well tell Captain Ma that she had taken some kind of superhuman strength pills, could she?

Upon arriving at the commune, the meeting room had already been prepared.

"Zhang Da Wa, do you have any water here?"

Captain Ma was exhausted; he's really getting old, and even carrying passengers for five kilometers was difficult for him.

Zhang Qiang glanced at Ji Sisi behind Captain Ma and said, "We've poured you some water inside. Just go in and have a drink."

Zhang Qiang holds a grudge; last time, everyone was helping Ji Sisi, and no one helped him at all.

Fortunately, Uncle Ma was one of his teammates.

He said Ji Sisi was a menace, but nobody believed him. Ever since she arrived, either something bad happened at the experimental site or a cow died.

Although feudalism is not to be trusted, that is the truth.

Ji Sisi and her team were the first to arrive. Captain Ma was sitting in the conference room enjoying the fan, while Ji Sisi went to the finance office to find Huang Qiaomei.

She needed to inform Huang Qiaomei beforehand about Ji Nian's situation.

The finance office was completely silent; it must be lunch break time. Ji Sisi decided to give up and come back after the meeting.

In a short while, the room was already mostly full of people.

The herders from yesterday also came.

"Xiao Lan, are you really alright?"

Shi Daya was worried and followed closely behind Liu Lan. "Nothing will happen. Director Yan will just ask questions. After that, you can go home. If you're worried, just wait outside."

Liu Lan never expected that even though she had tried to avoid her aunt, she would still be discovered when she took her uncle out.

My aunt was so upset that she followed him, fearing it might be the last time she would see my uncle.

Knowing how difficult her aunt was, she had no choice but to agree to bring the person along.

"Aunt, please sit and wait outside. I have something to do in my office."

Shi Daya was unwilling to go into the conference room or follow Liu Lan into the office.

"Xiaolan, why can't I go in? I won't look at or touch anything indiscriminately. I feel really guilty sitting outside all by myself. Please let me in."

Shi Daya pleaded desperately, tears streaming down her face as she spoke.

“I know you all hate me, and you all despise me for not being able to have children, but I still gave birth to a son for your Liu family…”

Liu Lan felt a lump in her throat.

Despite her sharp tongue when scolding Zhang Qiang, she was truly powerless when facing her aunt.

Ji Sisi's voice rang out in the hall, "You know you're annoying, yet you still followed me here. This is a commune, not a market. If you want to cry, go outside."

Shi Daya's crying stopped abruptly, "I...I..."

"Since you don't trust Sister Lan, then I suggest that Director Yan question Uncle Liu Lan alone later, and you accompany him. Let Director Yan take special care of you two."

Upon hearing that she would need to be cared for separately, Shi Daya dared not cry anymore.

Her lips trembled, her voice very soft, "How can this be? Everyone else's cattle have had problems, why target my man?"

Ji Sisi's eyes turned cold.

"Since you know that, why are you still bothering Sister Lan, asking her stupid questions over and over again? Do you think you can take advantage of her just because she's your niece? Don't forget, you're her aunt, not her mother."

Ji Sisi changed the subject, "Or is it that, apart from this infectious disease, you've really done something you're guilty of, which is why you're so panicked?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Shi Daya knew she couldn't argue with Ji Sisi, so she could only turn to Liu Lan for help, "Xiao Lan, your uncle doesn't have one, don't listen to people talking nonsense."

Liu Lan's tolerance had reached its limit.

Before this, she genuinely believed that her aunt was worried that something might happen to her uncle, which was why she had come along unreasonably.

Unexpectedly, even though she knew her uncle would be fine, she still insisted on making things difficult for herself.

"Aunt, that's enough! If you don't want to wait outside, then go home by yourself!"

After yelling at Shi Daya, Liu Lan pulled Ji Sisi into the office.

"Sisi, thank you so much just now. If it weren't for you, I would have really thought that my aunt was worried about my uncle. I didn't expect that she just wanted to stay with my uncle."

Liu Lan gave a wry smile, her expression grim.

“It’s alright. I’m only thinking about the commune. With so many people coming and going, your aunt’s constant crying isn’t good for the commune. Director Yan already has a lot on his plate, and if he sees your aunt, I’m worried he might hold you responsible.”

Liu Lan nodded. Yes, even a stranger could think of her, but her aunt, who was her relative, never did.

"Ever since my aunt gave birth to my nephew and injured her body, she has become suspicious and cries much more than before."

Liu Lan said helplessly, "At first, everyone felt sorry for her, but after she cried for a long time, everyone got annoyed, especially my uncle. So now she wants to be with my uncle all the time."

After listening to Liu Lan's complaints about Shi Daya, Ji Sisi finally understood.

"Your aunt isn't as honest and stubborn as you think. At least she knows how to use crying to fake it. She's torn open her own wounds, played the victim to gain sympathy and get favors. She's done this quite often, hasn't she?"

Liu Lan's expression froze as she began to think back carefully.

It seems that what Ji Sisi said is true. Before the accident, her aunt was always the most capable person in the family. After the accident, everyone in the family was afraid of her and wouldn't let her do anything.

I'm afraid of upsetting her and making her do something foolish.
