Chapter 698: The Legendary Younger-Brother-Obsessed Sister

The woman let out a sharp scream.

"Self" seemed to be used to it, but Ji Xiang shuddered.

After going back, I must tell the system NPC: when using Empathy, can they please not have someone called Ji Xiang?

This sense of immersion is just too strong.

Usually, when Ji Xiang is at home, whenever his mother calls his full name, something big is definitely about to happen.

"How could that be, how could that be." "Self" hurriedly forced a smile, wiped his hands on his apron, and trotted out to coax the woman.

"You're pregnant, don't upset the fetus," "Self" advised.

"Then what was that attitude you just had when you spoke?" the woman raised her eyebrows and scolded.

"Around one million... does that include the renovation?"

"Of course, do you think your family lives in a raw, unfinished house when getting married? What's wrong with you?"

"Then that's over a million... Linlin, we don't have that kind of money," "Self" said, distressed.

"Don't we still have the house?" the woman said. "I asked around at the agency; if we sell our house, it can go for about 1.5 million. If we count my brother's bride price, down payment, plus renovation and appliances, there will still be some left over."

"Self" was silent.

Ji Xiang was also stunned. Is this the legendary "younger-brother-obsessed sister"?!

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

"The wedding and such will cost a bit, my Lao Li family values appearances when doing things. But the rest is enough for us to rent another place in the residential complex."

"Linlin..." "Self" was a bit awkward, wiping his hands hard on his apron just like Meng Qingfei, trying his best to squeeze out a smile. "Look, you're pregnant too; our child can't be born in a Rental House."

Frost covered the woman's face; the speed of her mood swing was no less impressive than a Sichuan opera face-changing performance.

Ji Xiang recalled "Self's" words and felt there was nothing wrong with them. It was his own flesh and blood; given that they had a house, one would have to be out of their mind to want to give birth in a Rental House.

"Ji Xiang, say that again! You! Motherfucker! Say that again!"

"I'm just worried about you," seeing his wife angry, "Self" hurriedly explained. "Besides, our house is in the best school district in our city; it's a top-tier school district house. If we sell it, it'll be hard to buy it back later."

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

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

When I go back, I must tell the system NPC; the woman keeps saying "Ji Xiang" every other sentence, and I really can't stand it.

And the woman said—you only think about your own child—this sentence made Ji Xiang lose his immersion.

Could it be that the child in the woman's belly belongs to someone else?

How strange.

Ji Xiang sighed softly. No wonder the system NPC said that the Patient might not necessarily have a Mental Illness; there are so many mentally ill people in this world that normal people are actually rare.

In any case, the mental world of a woman who can say such things is likely not very healthy.

"Self" kept his head down, not saying a word; he used his actions to show his stance.

The woman was very angry, pointing at "Self's" nose and cursing him with very nasty words.

Yet "Self" endured it silently, not saying a damn word, just cleaning up the trash in the room.

His status in the family is even worse than a nanny's; it seems there's no point in being married like this, Ji Xiang thought.

After the woman cursed for a while, she seemed tired, and the house finally quieted down.

The man dragged his exhausted body to clean the house, and finally, it was bright and clean, though it was unclear how long it would last.

In the evening, before the man had finished making dinner, the 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 tapped his chopsticks and said, "Ji Xiang, let's have a family meeting."

"Dad, go ahead, please speak."

"Self" knew what was about to happen and lowered his head in a dilemma.

"Your brother is getting married; Linlin told you about this, right?"

"She did, but our family doesn't have that much money." "Self" was still firm on this matter. Ignoring the dagger-like gazes from his father-in-law, mother-in-law, Brother-in-law, and wife, he explained on his own.

Ji Xiang recalled that the house was bought by "Self's" parents when he graduated. At that time, he didn't know the woman yet; it was pre-marital property, and her name wasn't added when they got married.

Before marriage, the woman was gentle and beautiful, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law were also reasonable and never even brought up this request.

But who knew that after marriage, her face would change completely, turning into a "younger-brother-obsessed sister."

Truly, the world is unpredictable!

"Here is what I'm thinking; listen and see if it works." The father-in-law already had a plan and said with a smile, "Sell this house first to tide us over. Your brother... sigh, the woman's family is really something else; they said they'd only give us one month. If they don't see sincerity after one month, they'll abort the child."

"That is a child of our Lao Li family, how could we let it be aborted? Your dad here has run into a difficult situation; you have to help me out."

"Self" remained silent.

"After your brother gets married, our whole family will work hard to earn money, save money, and buy you a new house. This house of yours is almost ten years old; isn't a new one better than an old one?"

"Self" kept his head down, still not saying a word.

"Ji Xiang, say something!"

Ji Xiang was stunned; say what, damn it!

"Dad, it's like this." "Self" raised his head, looking troubled, but he didn't intend to back down.

"You two were caught in the family planning era back then and had Xiaofei; you lost your Public Institution jobs, and now you don't have much income every month. Xiaofei... *cough cough cough*, let's not talk about now, even in the future, even if he has a job, he'll have his own mortgage to pay; he really can't help me."

"On my side, Linlin will give birth in half a year; the child will cost a lot of money. More than half of my monthly salary already goes to subsidizing Xiaofei. The phone and tablet he uses have to be Apple, the clothes he wears..."

"Ji Xiang, enough!" The woman slammed the table and roared sternly, "What do you mean by saying this? Are you looking down on my family? Are we not one family!"

Ji Xiang sighed.

He finally felt the malice of society.

"No, no, I just don't want our child to be born in a Rental House; I just want the child to be able to attend a good elementary school later," "Self" defended.

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

"..." "Self" had nothing to say.

"Clap~"

A bowl was smashed over, and "self" was covered in blood.

Oh, so this is the origin of the Patient's Surgery trauma, Ji Xiang thought.

This time, the Empathy was not pleasant; although it didn't last long, it made "self" feel the terror of a brother-obsessed sister.

Go back, go back.

"Self" covered their forehead with their hand, looking at the woman with an expression of disbelief.

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

Perhaps it was a difference in the Empathy, who knows.

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

"Self's" vision turned completely red.
