"Do you know what your brother does for a living?" Jiang Yu asked Ji Tang, "Tell me more about your brother's work."
Ji Tang was about to say something when her mother moaned in pain on the bed. As she was getting on in years, her bodily functions had deteriorated. Even though Jiang Yu had thrown the plant out, her physical condition was still very poor and she had been suffering from illness.
At this moment, Ji Tang was no longer in the mood to tell Jiang Yu about Ji Feng. She said to her, "Jiang Yu, how about this? Come to my place tomorrow. I'll tell you the details. Is that okay?"
"Alright, have a good rest tonight. I'll look for you tomorrow."
The next morning, Jiang Yu went to Ji Tang's house.
Jiang Yu walked into the house and saw Ji Tang helping her mother turn over. When Ji Tang saw Jiang Yu enter, she quickly greeted her. "Jiang Yu, sit down first. I'll come and find you after I wipe my mother's body."
"There's no hurry. You go ahead and do your thing." Jiang Yu sat down on the chair at the door. While Ji Tang was wiping her mother's body, she looked around and carefully sized up the interior of the house.
Although the house looked dilapidated from the outside, it was clean and exquisite inside.
There were still a few shelves over there, but they were all empty. From the looks of it, Ji Tang probably sold all those small items to treat her mother's illness.
Jiang Yu sat there for a while before Ji Tang walked over. She wiped her hands on her clothes uneasily.
Ji Tang was clearly only a few years older than Jiang Yu and was not even thirty years old, but her hands were already rough beyond recognition, as if she was sixty years old.
"I'm sorry. My mom said that she was sweating and the sweat stuck to her clothes. She was a little uncomfortable, so I helped her wipe her body." Ji Tang explained.
"It's okay. I didn't wait long. Just in time. Tell me everything about your brother. You told me last night that he found a proper job. Do you know what this job is?"
Ji Tang shook her head. "I don't know what this job is. I asked him at that time, but he didn't tell me. I asked him many times, but he always used other excuses to cover it up. Although I was very puzzled, he did send a lot of money home every month. He did need money to treat my mother's illness, so I didn't ask anymore."
"Since it's a serious job, why would he find an excuse to cover it up?" Jiang Yu was very puzzled. "If he really found such a job, why didn't he tell you? I'm afraid they'll be happy to tell you that they've found a very suitable job, right?"
"Actually, I'm also suspecting that he's hiding it from me because this job isn't that good. But the money he sends home every month is limited. If he really didn't find such a good job, where did he get the money?"
Ji Tang was also very puzzled. "Actually, at the beginning, I also suspected that he went to sell his organs. But he has been sending so much money to his family for several months. No matter how many organs he has, it's impossible for him to sell them for so much money, right?"
"Your brother probably didn't sell his organs. He probably did find a job, but whether this job is the 'proper job' he mentioned, I don't know." Jiang Yu analyzed, "He doesn't want you to know either because this job is very dangerous and he's afraid that you'll be worried. Or it's because this job is illegal and he doesn't dare to let you know."
"What?" Ji Tang was shocked. "But no matter which possibility it is, I'm very worried! It didn't matter if he earned less money. At least he had to find a safe job. But if it's illegal, what should we do?"
Jiang Yu pondered for a while before saying, "Send me your brother's photo. I'll go back and check his information for you. I'll see what his current job is."
"Alright, thank you, Jiang Yu." Ji Tang was very grateful and immediately sent Ji Feng's photo to Jiang Yu's phone.
"I'll go back first. Wait for my news."
