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

Chapter 38 An Apology Arrives
Ji Sisi came out of the space, wanting to take advantage of the good weather to take the quilt out to air it in the yard and do some house cleaning.

The courtyard is paved with stone slabs, which reflect the bright sunlight and make them appear very white. There is a small plot of land on the left side against the wall, which is used by the family to grow vegetables to improve their living conditions.

But Ji Sisi felt that the land was wasted in her hands because she couldn't cook and couldn't improve Qi Yan's and her life at all. She could only place her hopes on the cafeteria chef.

Ji Sisi looked at the ground and pondered. She had already cleared the land, so she couldn't let it go to waste. She wondered if she could plant something in the future.

Then Ji Sisi took a few nails and a hammer from her spatial storage, preparing to string a clothesline across the yard.

As the nail was hammered deeper and deeper into the wall, Ji Sisi's strength gradually gave out.

She breathed a sigh of relief. If she weren't afraid of being discovered, she would have liked to plug in a power strip and connect the drill. Unfortunately, the drill was too loud and she was afraid that it would alert the people around her as soon as she started it.

Ji Sisi got tired of hammering, so she put down the hammer, shook her sore hands, and turned around to see Guo Xiaolan standing at her door with two bags in her hands.

Ji Sisi looked surprised, but quickly regained her composure.

"What are you doing here? Let me make this clear first, I can't help you get your marriage certificate. Although Qi Yan is a director, he's not at the level where he can sign your marriage certificate. As for how to win a man's heart, I'm powerless to do that. This is my first time falling in love and getting married, so I don't have much experience to pass on to you."

After Ji Sisi finished speaking, she went into the living room, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it all in one go.

"If you're calcium deficient and like to sunbathe outside, I won't invite you in."

She finished speaking so much in one breath and even came in to drink a glass of water, but Guo Xiaolan showed no sign of coming in after all this time.

Perfect timing, saving her the trouble of entertaining guests, Ji Sisi returned to the courtyard.

"I'm not here to ask for your help. Shimin and I have already passed the application process. Now we just need the certificate, but that's only a matter of time. I'm here to apologize to you. I was wrong before. These are for you."

Guo Xiaolan placed the malted milk powder and a pound of candy on the laundry table in the yard. "Also, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I'd probably still be working with Wang Cuicui to cause you trouble."

By the way, could you let me know in advance when you're setting the date? I don't like getting married on the same day as other people.

"You're much more honest than before. I appreciate your kind intentions, but I'll pass on the gift. I'll let you know in advance when we've chosen a date. I don't like to clash with other people's dates."

Even though the person hasn't changed and her attitude is still as arrogant as before, why does Ji Sisi feel that Guo Xiaolan isn't as annoying as before?

Having achieved her goal, Guo Xiaolan did not linger any longer. She knew that she and Ji Sisi were incompatible, and keeping her around would only put her at a disadvantage.

As Guo Xiaolan stepped outside, the thought of her disheveled appearance yesterday, and how she had even humbly begged Ji Sisi for help, suddenly overwhelmed her with shame.

Guo Xiaolan screamed inwardly.
-
Ji Sisi admired Guo Xiaolan's speed in handling things, and it was worth the effort of her admonition. If Ji Nian had arrived as scheduled, would she have been shocked to see everything now?

Of course, it would be best if Ji Nian could recognize reality, but if she still tries to take advantage of her and Qi Yanming to climb up the social ladder, then she shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

Anyway, she wasn't the original owner of this body, and besides, the original owner and Ji Nian didn't have a very deep relationship.

"Sisi, what are you doing at home? I could hear you making a lot of noise in the yard from far away. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were tearing the house down."

Li Hongying's voice came from the doorway.

Ji Sisi had just draped the blanket over her when it blocked her view. "The sun is nice today, so I thought I'd air the blanket out. We don't have a clothesline, so I just strung up a rope. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"I didn't disturb you. I brought a new friend for you to meet today. Come out and meet her." Hearing about the new friend, Ji Sisi threw off the covers and went out. She saw the woman standing next to Li Hongying, with two children behind her. She was stunned. Wasn't this the woman from the department store yesterday?
Huang Qiaomei was stunned when she saw Ji Sisi's face clearly.

Upon recognizing Ji Sisi, Huang Qiaomei's eyes immediately reddened, glistening with tears. She stepped forward and grabbed Ji Sisi's hand, saying, "Comrade, I never expected to see you again. I'm so grateful to you and your friends yesterday. If it weren't for you, Yangyang might have been ruined..."

Recalling that horrifying scene, Huang Qiaomei felt incredibly guilty. She almost witnessed her child die in front of her.

Fortunately, she met her benefactor; otherwise, she didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

Ji Sisi never expected that they would meet again; it really was fate.

"This is all I should do. What did the doctor say? How is the child now?"

"He felt much better once his temperature dropped. It's fortunate that he was brought in in time. The doctor said that if he had been brought in any later, he might have developed a chronic condition and could have even developed epilepsy."

Huang Qiaomei's tears fell even harder. "It was my ignorance that hurt Yangyang. Luckily, I met you and your friends. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to get over this for the rest of my life..."

"Hongying, this is the woman I told you about who saved Yangyang. I never expected she'd be from your department."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Qiaomei ordered the two children behind her, "Quickly kowtow to the benefactor who saved your brother. If he weren't your benefactor, you wouldn't have a brother."

The two, one big and one small, stared intently at Ji Sisi. Upon their mother's command, they knelt down without a word.

"Thank you for saving my brother."

"Thank you for saving my brother."

Seeing that the two children finished speaking in unison and were about to kowtow, Ji Sisi hurriedly went to help them up, saying, "Get up, get up, this is what I should do."

Huang Qiaomei said she was going to kowtow to Ji Sisi as well, which scared her so much that she hurriedly asked Li Hongying for help.

"Sister Hongying, please help me! I have a heart condition and can't take this kind of shock."

Li Hongying understood Huang Qiaomei's excitement. As a mother herself, she had been terrified just listening to Huang Qiaomei recount what happened yesterday. She just hadn't expected that it would be Ji Sisi who saved Yangyang.

However, considering Ji Sisi's health, they still helped stop Huang Qiaomei from kneeling down.

Suddenly, Li Hongying slapped her forehead. "I forgot to introduce you after saying so much. This is Director Qi's wife, Ji Sisi. I reckon Dr. Lin and Lin Peifeng were the ones who drove you to the hospital yesterday. They are siblings. I can understand if you haven't met them before, but Director Qi, how come you didn't recognize them?"

Huang Qiaomei stopped crying and blinked.

"Qi Yan? I was probably too anxious yesterday and was too focused on Yangyang to notice him. I only remember the three of them."

"Sisi, this is your Director Fu's wife, Huang Qiaomei. She works as an accountant in the next commune and rarely comes back to the compound."

Li Hongying took on the role of the introducer.

Huang Qiaomei kept shedding tears, repeatedly saying that she wanted to repay them.

Ji Sisi never expected that her act of bravery would actually help the director's lover; her luck was truly incredible.
