After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Chapter 312 Painful Past (19)

The drunk man's face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes were red. He took the glass and threw it at Ji Lanyue angrily.

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu's expressions suddenly changed, and they quickly pulled Ji Lanyue back to their side.

The glass flew out of the man's hand and hit the place where Ji Lanyue was just standing with a bang, and the glass broke into pieces in an instant.

Looking at the sharp fragments on the ground, Ji Tingyang's mind flashed the image of Ji Lanyue's forehead with blood, and he felt a little scared.

fine……

Fortunately, my sister is fine.

However, after the cup in his hand was smashed empty, the man became even angrier, "Who told you to hide? Did I tell you to hide?!"

He picked up the half-empty bottle of wine on the table and staggered closer to Ji Lanyue again, his words unclear, "I'll let you spend my money, and see, I'll beat you to death!"

"Ah!" Ji Lanyue's face turned pale and her voice almost broke from screaming.

The three of them ran around the room as if they were running for their lives, and many of the furniture in the living room were tripped and fell to the ground, making the place a mess.

Seeing that they were about to have nowhere to hide, Ji Tingyang's eyes rolled, and he immediately took Ji Zeqiu and Ji Lanyue into the only bedroom and locked the door with a "click".

"Get out here!" The man kept pounding on the door, making waves of terrifying banging noises. "I'll count to three. If you don't come out, you'll never come out again in your life!"

"three……"

Ji Tingyang and the other two huddled together in the corner, beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads and their bodies trembling.

Hearing the man's countdown, Ji Lanyue's face turned even paler, and she clutched Ji Tingyang's arm in fear, "Brother, what should we do?"

Ji Tingyang was only a twelve-year-old child, and he was equally frightened by this kind of thing, but he still tried his best to hold back his fear and comfort his brother and sister, "We just stay here, he can't get in."

"Two..." The man continued counting down.

Ji Zeqiu's hands were also shaking slightly. He swallowed fearfully and stared at the door without blinking.

"one."

As the countdown ended, there was a more violent sound of door banging in the room. The putty on the wall fell off due to the violent vibration, and even the door frame was deformed.

Just when they were worried that the door would be taken down by the man sooner or later, the noise outside the door finally stopped.

He took a few deep breaths, slid down with his back against the door, and sat on the ground, cursing a little weaker, "You're not coming out, right? I'll stay here tonight and see when you come out!"

"When I catch you, I will skin you alive."

"And that damn Ji Yiyun, she took so much of the inheritance by herself. I helped her adopt three burdens and asked her to give me a few tens of thousands of dollars. What's wrong with that? She refused to do that. Damn it!"

"Five thousand dollars, is she treating it like she's sending away a beggar? If I wasn't short of money to buy some wine, I wouldn't bother with her."

The drunken man talked a lot. As time passed, his voice became softer and softer, and finally turned into deafening snoring.

Ji Tingyang and the others looked at each other, and their hearts finally settled down.

Just when Ji Tingyang was about to speak, a suppressed sob was heard.

He thought the crying sound came from Ji Lanyue, but when he turned around, he found that the person sobbing was Ji Zeqiu.

"Second brother, don't be afraid. Our cousin has fallen asleep and won't bang the door or hit us anymore." Ji Lanyue stretched out her little hand and patted him gently on the back.

"I miss my mom and dad..." Ji Zeqiu made a choked sound in his throat, tears welled up from his eyes, wetting his clothes.

Ji Tingyang paused and fell silent.

The longing that had been buried in my heart for a long time was brought out again by Ji Zeqiu's words, and a wave of pain and sorrow surged in my chest.

The air in the bedroom was suddenly filled with a painful and sad atmosphere.

Ji Lanyue looked at Ji Tingyang, and then looked at Ji Zeqiu. Every time the eldest and second brothers talked about their parents, they always looked sad and upset.

She suddenly became curious about what her parents were like.

But she didn't dare to ask anything and just wiped Ji Zeqiu's tears with her sleeves.

……

The next morning.

The dazzling sunlight shone into the bedroom through the window, waking Ji Tingyang from his sleep. A tingling pain spread all over his body.

Ji Tingyang slowly opened his eyes and found that their sleeping positions had all changed since he didn't know when.

Ji Zeqiu leaned on his shoulder, while Ji Lanyue rested her head on his thigh.

No wonder my body feels numb.

When Ji Tingyang woke up, he did not forget to pay attention to the movement outside the door. After hearing the man's snoring continued, he hurriedly woke up Ji Lanyue and Ji Zeqiu.

"Brother, let me sleep a little longer..." Ji Lanyue's voice was a little vague and she was unwilling to open her eyes.

"Hurry up and get up. Let's sneak to school before our uncle wakes up." Ji Tingyang said.

Hearing his words, Ji Lanyue and Ji Zeqiu suddenly woke up.

After a while, the bedroom door opened gently from the inside, making a creaking sound.

The three of them tiptoed, stepped over the man sleeping on the ground, and successfully escaped from the house.

However, when they passed by the former steamed bun stall, a look of difficulty appeared on their faces.

They had no money to buy breakfast.

Ji Tingyang tried hard to find change in his pocket. He and Ji Zeqiu could not eat, but Ji Lanyue was still growing.

However, no matter how he searched, his pockets were empty.

Perhaps seeing their plight, the boss of the steamed buns gave them three steamed buns and said, "Take it and eat it."

Ji Tingyang didn't dare to answer, "We don't have money."

"You've been buying buns from me for so long, so I won't charge you for these. Take them and eat them," said the boss.

Looking at the yellowed and worn clothes they were wearing, you could tell that these three children came from poor families.

It wouldn't hurt to give them a few buns.

Ji Lanyue's eyes suddenly lit up. She took the steamed bun and said thank you to the boss in a sweet voice.

"Brother, let's have one each." Ji Lanyue handed one of the buns to Ji Tingyang.

Ji Tingyang shook his head. "I ate a lot of fried rice last night. I'm not hungry now. You guys can eat."

It was not until Ji Tingyang returned to the classroom that his stomach began to growl with hunger.

He took out his water cup and planned to go outside to get more water to fill his stomach.

However, as soon as he left the classroom, he ran into Wen Li running towards him with a smile on her face.

"My family made a lot of breakfast today, and I brought you one too." She stuffed the thermos box into Ji Tingyang's arms and ran away before he could react.

Ji Tingyang opened the thermal box and was stunned when he saw the century egg and lean meat porridge inside.
