Healing Doctor

Chapter 697 The Legendary Sister-Supporting Demon

The woman screamed.

"He" seemed to have gotten used to it, but Ji Xiang shivered.

When I get back, I'll definitely tell the system NPCs that when they're trying to empathize, they shouldn't call someone Ji Xiang.

This level of immersion is just too great.

When Ji Xiang is at home, if his mother calls him by his full name, it means something big is about to happen.

"No, no, no." "He" quickly smiled apologetically, wiped his hands on his apron, and ran out to coax the woman.

"You're pregnant, don't upset the baby," "myself" comforted.

"What was your attitude when you spoke just now?" the woman asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Around one million... Does that include renovations?"

"Of course! You're going to live in a bare-bones apartment when you get married? That's ridiculous."

"That's over a hundred... Linlin, we don't have that kind of money." "She" said with distress.

"We still have the house," the woman said. "I asked the real estate agent, and we can sell our house for around 150 million. If we take into account my brother's dowry, down payment, renovations, and appliances, we'll still have some money left over."

"Oneself" remained silent.

Ji Xiang was also stunned. Was this the legendary "brother-supporting demon"?!

But Ji Xiang was too young; he had no idea that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

"We'll need to spend some money on the wedding and such; my Li family likes to make a good impression when we do things. But the rest is enough for the two of us to rent another place in the neighborhood."

"Linlin..." "She herself" felt a little embarrassed, and like Meng Qingfei, she vigorously wiped her hands on her apron, trying to force a smile, "You see, you're pregnant too, our child can't be born in a rented room, can it?"

The woman's face was covered in frost, and her ability to change her expression was as fast as the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

Ji Xiang recalled what "himself" had said and thought it made sense. His own flesh and blood, if they had a house, only a fool would give birth to a child in a rented room.

"Ji Xiang, say that again! You! You motherfucker! Say it again!"

"I'm just worried about you." Seeing his wife was angry, "he" quickly explained, "Besides, our house is next to the best elementary school in our city. It's a top-tier school district property. If we sell it, it will be difficult to buy it back later."

"Ji Xiang, you only think about your own child, don't you think about my younger brother at all?!"

Ji Xiang, watching from the sidelines, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

I must talk to the system NPC later; I really can't stand the woman calling me Ji Xiang all the time.

Moreover, the woman's words, "You only think about your children," immediately pulled Ji Xiang out of the scene.

Could it be that the woman is carrying someone else's child?

That's weird.

Ji Xiang sighed softly. No wonder the system NPC said that the patient might not have a mental illness. There are so many mentally ill people in the world, but very few normal people.

Anyway, a woman who can say such a thing is probably not in a very healthy mental state.

He kept his head down and didn't say a word, demonstrating his attitude through his actions.

The woman was furious and pointed at "herself" and cursed at her in a very offensive way.

Meanwhile, "he" silently endured it all, without uttering a single word, simply cleaning up the trash in the house.

Her status in the family was even lower than that of a nanny, so whether or not they got married seemed pointless, Ji Xiang thought.

The woman seemed to tire herself out after yelling for a while, and the house finally quieted down.

The man dragged his tired body to clean the house, and finally it was spotless, but he didn't know how long he could keep it that way.

That evening, before the dinner the man had prepared was ready, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law arrived.

At the dinner table, the father-in-law sat in the main seat. He paused with his chopsticks and said, "Ji Xiang, let's have a family meeting."

"Dad, please tell me."

Knowing what was about to happen, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Your younger brother is getting married. Linlin told you about it, right?"

"I told you, but my family doesn't have that much money." He remained firm on this matter, ignoring the dagger-like glares from his father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and wife, and explained to himself.

Ji Xiang recalled that the house was bought by his parents when he graduated. At that time, he did not know the woman and it was premarital property. His name was not added to the deed when he got married.

Before marriage, the woman was gentle and beautiful, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law were understanding and never made this request.

But who knew that things would change drastically after marriage, turning into a "brother-supporting demon".

Life is truly unpredictable!

"Here's what I'm thinking, listen and see if it works for you." The father-in-law already had a plan in mind, and after smiling, he said, "Sell this house first, just to tide you over. Your brother... sigh, the woman's family is really awful. They said they'll only give us one month, and if they don't see any sincerity after one month, they'll have the baby aborted."

"That's our Li family's child, how could we miscarry? Your dad's in a bit of trouble, please help me out."

"Oneself" remains silent.

"Once your brother gets married, our whole family will work hard and save up to buy you a new house. Your current house is almost ten years old; wouldn't a new one be better than the old one?"

"He" kept his head down and remained silent.

"Ji Xiang, say something!"

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, then thought, "What the hell am I talking about!"

"Dad, it's like this." "Myself" looked up, somewhat embarrassed, but had no intention of backing down.

"You two were caught up in the one-child policy back then and had Xiaofei. Now you don't even have a stable job, and you don't have much income each month. Xiaofei... cough cough cough, let's not talk about now. Even if he has a job in the future, he will have his own mortgage to pay and won't be able to help me at all."

"On my side, Linlin is due to give birth in six months. The baby will cost a lot of money, and most of my monthly salary goes to Xiaofei. He only uses Apple phones and tablets, and his clothes..."

"Ji Xiang, that's enough!" The woman slammed her hand on the table and roared, "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on our family? Aren't we family at all?!"

Ji Xiang sighed.

I finally experienced the harshness of society.

"No, no, I just don't want our child to be born in a rented house. I just want our child to be able to go to a good primary school in the future," "myself" explained.

"Your child is a child, but my brother's child isn't?" the woman shrieked.

"..." "I" had nothing to say.

"Snap!"

A bowl smashed down, and "himself" was covered in blood.

"Oh, so this is where the patient's injury came from," Ji Xiang thought.

This experience of empathy was not good. Although it was short, it made me realize how terrifying the "brother-supporting demon" is.

Go back, go back.

He covered his forehead with his hand, looking at the woman with disbelief.

Ji Xiang then noticed that the location of the wound was different from what he had seen in the hospital.

Perhaps it's a difference in how we empathize.

The woman yelled, "What are you looking at!"

Everything in front of "myself" was red.
