Chapter 555 The Son-in-Law Arrives at the Door! (First Update!)

After hanging up the phone, Ji Shuangshuang turned her head and glared at Lin Yi fiercely: "Fine, I, the biological daughter, have been rejected!"

Her words were filled with resentment. Lin Yi kept his eyes down, staring straight ahead, and didn't dare to respond to Ji Shuangshuang's words.

In her past life, her mother-in-law kept urging Ji Shuangshuang, but later she realized that she couldn't persuade Ji Shuangshuang no matter what she did, so she gave up.

Later, the two got married and were always busy with work. When the child was young, the mother-in-law took care of him, and when he got older, the two of them took care of him.

Then, the two lazy dogs managed to train their mother-in-law's precious darlings into the most capable servants in the family.

Because of this, the two of them were scolded by their mother-in-law countless times.

Just thinking about that person's explosive temper made Lin Yi feel a chill running down his neck.

Turning around, she remembered that Ji Shuangshuang had also inherited her mother's temper, but she didn't show it much and just pretended to be a gentle and ladylike woman.

He felt the cold wind on his neck grow even colder.

After leaving the prison, the two did not return to the company, but drove directly to Taihu Tower.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, the owner of Taihu Restaurant greeted them and led them to the private room: "President Lin, let me tell you, thanks to your encouragement so many times!"

"I finally managed to get two good fish through a friend today!"

"I'm going to cook for you today, and I'll make you a real West Lake Vinegar Fish!"

"I guarantee it!" The chubby owner of Taihu Restaurant stopped and turned around to Lin Yi, saying, "I guarantee it will be delicious!"

"Let me take you to see the fish first!"

Lin Yi told Ji Shuangshuang to wait where she was, and then followed the boss to the kitchen.

In the fish tank containing live fish, a slender carp with a bluish-black back was swimming erratically.

It's a good fish!

After showing the fish, the owner brought a landing net, scooped the fish into the net, killed it with a blow, and began processing it.

After greeting him, Lin Yi turned around and went back to the hall. Ji Shuangshuang had already found a good spot, a window seat, perfect for throwing the fish out the window.

Seeing Lin Yi approach, she casually handed him a cup of tea: "You still want to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce during the New Year?"

"No!" Lin Yi shook his head: "I just wanted to test if the boss's skills had deteriorated."

"I have a surprise for everyone at the beginning of next year!"

Ji Shuangshuang laughed in exasperation. She picked up her teacup and drank it by herself: "It's only because of you. If it were anyone else, they would have turned on you long ago if you invited them to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!"

"I just ordered a few more dishes! Don't eat them later!"

"hehe!"

Time slipped away as the two chatted. The waiter served several other dishes first, and finally, the West Lake Vinegar Fish arrived.

Meeting the boss's eager gaze, Lin Yi forced himself not to throw the fish away, but instead picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

The fish meat didn't have the usual fishy smell, and the vinegar sauce wasn't as sour either.

The two ingredients together actually tasted pretty good.

After finishing his meal in silence, Lin Yi gave his review: "Boss, the essence of West Lake Vinegar Fish is that free and unrestrained flavor of West Lake, that feeling of jumping into West Lake and chasing after the fish to eat raw. Now that the flavor of West Lake is gone, this dish is ruined!"

He patted the shop owner on the shoulder reassuringly, turned around, paid the bill, and left.

The boss was left bewildered in the wind.

He didn't know whether he should make the authentic West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce or make a modified version.

Back at the company and back in their room, the two began packing their luggage.

I have to go to the cemetery early tomorrow morning and then to Guangling in the afternoon, so I don't have time to pack.

Lin Yi packed a suitcase and found that Ji Shuangshuang had already packed, just one suitcase and a backpack.

"That's all?"

"I have everything at home!" Ji Shuangshuang replied casually, then went into the bathroom to wash up.

Ten minutes later, she came out of the bathroom and saw Lin Yi still packing clothes, so she quickly went over to help.

After packing the clothes, he grabbed Lin Yi's hand and said, "Come on, come inside with me!"

…………

At 6 a.m., the alarm clock rang. Lin Yi stretched, got out of bed, spent half an hour washing up, and then drove with Ji Shuangshuang to the cemetery in the west.

Suzhou at the end of January is colder and windier than in December.

The howling wind carried snowflakes.

Braving the snowflakes, Lin Yi led Ji Shuangshuang to his parents' graves. He first swept the snow off the altar, then placed the fruit, snacks, and beer he had brought on it. He plopped down next to the tombstone and whispered:

"Mom, haven't you always been worried about my personal life?"

"See that? The person burning incense and paper money for you at your grave is your future daughter-in-law."

"We haven't registered our marriage yet, but she's the one for me for life!"

"Take a good look."

“I’ve spent a lot of money on you guys this time. You and Dad don’t need to go to work every day. Take the money and enjoy yourselves.”

"I don't know what it's like to die, but I think you should all have your own lives, live them well, and don't worry about me!"

"I have nothing to worry about!"

“Dad, I’ve saved the factory, and I’ve paid off all the money you owed back then.”

"Moreover, I have fulfilled my grandfather's and his family's wishes, made great achievements, and brought honor to our ancestors. Now, when people in Suzhou talk about the Lin family, they all give them a thumbs up."

"However, I must apologize to you here."

"I forgot to tell you last year, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway."

"It's those uncles and aunts, and a few brothers-in-law who have suffered misfortune."

"When I came to see you before, their verdict had not yet been handed down."

"After nearly a year, their verdict has finally been handed down."

"My second aunt suffered the most, for 13 years."

"But who told her to be greedy? I went to see them yesterday. He's been in prison for a year. That uncle who used to get drunk all the time is gone. He looks to be in very good health now."

"My second uncle has also become handsome, just like the picture I saw when I was a child."

"Time seems to have flown by, yet it also feels like time has gone back to the past!"

"Oh, and if Grandma and Grandpa are going to scold me, you two remember to stop them for me!" "And the same goes for Grandpa and Grandma!"

"You two enjoy your meal, I'm going to check on those elderly folks!"

After exchanging a few words, Lin Yi slowly got up, took Ji Shuangshuang's hand, and walked towards the highest point of the cemetery.

The higher you go, the older the tombstones in the cemetery look.

Later, Lin Yi walked to a corner and stopped in front of four tombstones.

On the offering tables in front of these four tombstones, there are still traces of fruit and incense burning, though the traces are quite old, at least half a year old.

After staring at the marks for a while, Lin Yi squatted down and carefully removed the marks in front of the four tombstones. He then opened the plastic bag he was carrying, took out incense and candles, lit them, and chanted as he offered the incense:
"The woman next to you is your granddaughter-in-law, your great-granddaughter-in-law."

“I’m going to her house for Chinese New Year and will come back after the New Year. It will be too late then, and you’ll be angry if I wish you a Happy New Year too late.”

"So I can only wish you a Happy New Year in advance!"

"I made a lot of money this year, so I'll burn a lot more for you. If it's not enough, remember to go to the prison and find those elders. Don't look for me, I sleep like a log at night, you can't wake me up."

"Also, when you go to them, remember to slap them a couple of times to teach them a lesson."

"After you've taken the pity on the older ones, don't forget to take the pity on the younger ones. Take them one by one, don't let any of them get away!"

"Smash them hard when you do it, otherwise they won't learn their lesson..."

Lin Yi muttered to himself for a long time, and all the paper money in his hand was burned to ashes. Only when the last spark disappeared did he clap his hands and kneel down in front of his grandfather's tombstone.

He kowtowed once, then stood up and kowtowed to the other three tombstones, kneeling down.

Ji Shuangshuang squatted down beside him, and after Lin Yi finished kneeling, she also got up and knelt down in front of everyone:
Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!

Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!

"If anything happens, remember to go to your uncles, aunts, and your second aunt!"

"I'm a heavy sleeper at night, you can't wake me up!"

Hearing these words, Lin Yi, standing nearby, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In her past life, after getting married, Ji Shuangshuang also came to kowtow, but perhaps she was more mature then and didn't say such nonsense.

I've seen it all in my lifetime.

After visiting the grave, the two held hands and slowly descended the mountain. Back in the parking lot, Ji Shuangshuang extended her hand to Lin Yi: "I'll drive, you can rest for a while!"

"Okay!" Lin Yi did not refuse. He hadn't slept well last night and had just complained for a while, so he was indeed not in a good state to drive.

He tossed the keys to Ji Shuangshuang, climbed into the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

The luggage has already been put in the trunk of the vehicle, so there is no need to go back to the factory.

Ji Shuangshuang started the vehicle, took out a map from the storage cabinet, looked at it for a while, pressed the clutch with her left foot, released the handbrake, slowly released the clutch with her left foot, and pressed the accelerator with her right foot.

The vehicle moved forward slowly, then turned around and headed north.

Guangling.

Ji An was playing video games in his room, while Ji Guoping was watching Journey to the West on TV. The father and son were having a great time when suddenly the power went out.

Fang Hui walked into the room with a gloomy face, dragging a broom:

“My daughter just called and said they have already set off from Suzhou. It’s about 200 kilometers away and will take about three hours to arrive.”

"you two!"

"Ji Guoping, ride your bike to town now and buy the freshest, best fruit! And all those snacks, street food, roast duck, spicy braised beef, and all sorts of other things—buy me a little of everything. We'll see what my precious son-in-law likes to eat!"

"Ji An, go and slaughter the chickens and ducks in the yard, clean them and put them in the kitchen. I'll make soup later! They've walked over 200 kilometers, they must be very tired! Make sure they eat and drink well!"

Ji An was playing a dungeon when the power suddenly went out. He felt like the sky was falling. After his mother finished speaking, he took off his headphones and turned around: "Was it really that bad?"

"Those chickens and ducks, you've been raising them for over a year. I remember last time your third aunt came over, she asked you to sell one to her, but you didn't!"

When her son talked back to her, Fang calmly pointed to the computer in front of him:
"This computer was paid for by your sister!"

"That's my reward for working like a slave for the past ten years!" Ji An replied stiffly, but his confidence waned and his voice grew softer.

In the end, there was no sound at all.

Seeing his son's lack of confidence, Fang Hui clapped his hands and said, "That's right!"

"You've endured the hardships of the past ten years, are you afraid of the next few decades?"

"Your sister and brother-in-law's company sells all their home appliances in town!"

"With such a powerful backer, why aren't you grabbing onto him? You're still trying to push him away, and you even have the nerve to say 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential,' you deserve to die poor!"

"Alright, hurry up and kill the chickens and ducks!"

"Don't yell at me!"

After talking about her son, Fang Hui turned around to talk about her husband, Ji Guoping, only to find that her husband had already driven off towards town.

Helpless, Fang turned around and went upstairs into the prepared bedroom. He stared at the mandarin duck quilt on the bed for a while, but then felt that the bright red quilt made the atmosphere of the whole room somewhat oppressive.

She quickly went downstairs to her room, rummaged through the perfume pile for a while, found a bottle of pine wood scented perfume, took it upstairs, and started spraying it wildly throughout the room.

She nodded in satisfaction and went downstairs only after finishing a bottle of perfume.

In the courtyard, the screams of chickens and ducks were incessant, and among them was Ji An's scream.

As the sun began to set and the sky gradually darkened, the elite officers of the Sixth Village Affairs Division braved the wind and snow, each carrying a small stove, and slowly walked out of their homes. They squatted at the village entrance, under the big tree, warming themselves by the fire while watching the passing vehicles and the young people sneaking into the village.

"That must be Old Wang's second son! At the beginning of the year, I heard that he wasn't planning to study and was going to go south to make his fortune and become a big boss! How come he's sneaking back here!"

"Hey, anyone can become a big boss, right? They just rely on their fate! Take the Ji family, for example. I've seen it before. Uncle Ji's grave is very well-placed, with a green dragon guarding the back and a white dragon managing the finances in front. That's why their family is so wealthy, and that girl Shuangshuang is able to become the company's CEO!"

"Old He, the Azure Dragon guarding the village, you wouldn't happen to be that mound behind the village, would you? And the White Dragon managing finances, you wouldn't happen to be that stinking ditch in front of the cemetery, would you? Most of the village's graves are buried there, so why haven't any other families produced any outstanding individuals?"

"Have you ever learned the story of Zhong Yong's tragic fate? The Ji family's Shuangshuang has been smart since she was a child. Would they hold their children back like you do? No, whatever their child wants, whatever she wants to learn, whatever she wants to do, Guoping will do everything he can to get it for her. And look at you... even if you were given a genius, you would still spoil him!"

"Stop arguing, look at that car!"

"A Mercedes! That's a Mercedes!"

"Tch... My nephew drives a Mercedes too!"

"Your nephew drives a Mercedes C-Class, that piece of junk only has one badge. That car has the cheapest badge, and one of those cars can buy a dozen of your nephew's cars, understand? Stay away from cars like that, or you couldn't pay for it even if you sold your whole family!"

"Why is that car using its turn signal? Is it trying to enter the village? Who's suddenly become rich?"

"Wait, the driver looks like the eldest son of the Ji family!"

"It's her! Shut up! You're going to get yelled at again!"
