Chapter 29 – Feed You To The Fishes! (1/2)

Chapter 29 – Feed You To The Fishes!

As she continued to walk through the corridor, Ji Yunshu chanced upon a nauseating scene.

Wei Yi, dressed in a light blue changpao, was crouching on the ground. In his hands was a short bamboo stick. Originally, he was writing something on the ground but stopped because of the mockery coming from Ji Yuanzhi and Ji Lingzhi.

His body was curled into a ball. He lowered his head and was biting his sleeve, trembling in fear, not daring to lift his head.

Ji Yuanzhi carried the small Ji Lingzhi and directly lifted her onto his neck so she can sit there. Then, he started to kick Wei Yi. “Idiot! Hurry up and get out of our house. Be careful that you don’t make this young master unhappy or I’ll feed you to the fishes.”

When he heard that, Wei Yi hastily waved his hand and begged in fear. “Don’t want! Don’t feed me to the fish. I don’t want to be fish food!”

Egged on by the begging, Ji Yuanzhi became more unbridled with his mocking.

“An idiot is just an idiot. An idiot and a bastard is simply a perfect match.”

The so-called “bastard” was without a doubt referring to Ji Yunshu.

Her mother came from a brothel. Moreover, she was never given status. If she wasn’t a bastard child, then what was she?

Due to Ji Yuanzhi’s words, Lingzhi showed a smile full of derision that didn’t quite fit someone of her age.

Shouldn’t children still be innocent and unaffected at eight years old?

This Ji mansion was truly like an infernal cage where people’s consciences are killed!

“This idiot is really amusing. Third Brother, don’t feed him to the fishes.”

“Alright! I’ll listen to you.” Ji Yuanzhi lifted his leg and put his dirty shoe on Wei Yi’s clean clothes. Then, he proceeded to rub out the dirt on it, “Hey idiot! If people ask, you better tell them that you fell by yourself. If you dare tattle that this young master bullied you, I’ll absolutely make sure to properly take care of you.” When he was done, he walked away with Ji Lingzhi, perfectly content.

If you’re not a blood-related sibling, don’t come in our house!

Wei Yi was so scared he didn’t dare to make a sound. With all his might, he tried to wipe off the dirt on his clothes. He held in his emotions and was feeling extremely pained. At first, Ji Yunshu didn’t want to pay attention to him, but in the end, she still went over.

All of a sudden, Wei Yi discovered a shadow looming over him, and he raised his head to take a look. When he caught sight of her, his eyes couldn’t help but dodge her gaze and he completely stopped wiping his clothes.

Ji Yunshu noticed his furtive glances. A reaction stemming from being constantly bullied, it seemed. Then, she noticed that the two words Wei Yi had written on the ground were his own name. The words were crooked and even the “Yi” in his name missed a line.

“Is that your name?” Ji Yunshu’s tone was very gentle. She tried as much as possible to not frighten him.

Wei Yi mechanically nodded.

She might as well correct him. Ji Yunshu squatted down and took the bamboo stick from him before saying, “You forgot to add a line on the word ‘Yi’.” She stopped talking and added an additional line to the crooked word.

“See? This is how you write that word.”

Probably due to Ji Yunshi’s amiable tone, added on to the fact that she didn’t hurt him, but Wei Yi completely let down his guard. He inclined his head and looked at the word for a very long time.

“Why is it not the same when teacher teaches me?” He muttered softly, but it was loud enough for Ji Yunshu to hear.

‘It’s unlikely that we teach differently. Rather, that teacher simply doesn’t know how to teach! He simply grabbed the money but shamelessly didn’t do any work!’

She let go of those thoughts and said to him, “Then, you better remember these words. You cannot miss a line. Otherwise, the other people will laugh at you.”

“Oh.”

Suddenly, he smiled. He stared at Ji Yunshu with his bright expressive eyes. “Big sister, you’re really nice.”

‘Big sister? Child, you seem older than me.’

However, Ji Yunshu didn’t try to argue with him. She beamed a “big sister’s” smile at him and gave back the bamboo stick.
