Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

After one night, a lot of strawberries became ripe the next day. Su Danhong went to pick it all. When her second brother brought her meat, she gave some to him. A portion was for her second brother and sister-in-law to eat, and the other portion was for Zhen Miaohong when she went into town. Each person received more than a jin.

The strawberries in the backyard ripened five or six days earlier. The ones Mother Ji had planted were a few days late. Soon though, they all ripened one after another.

Compared to the small amount that Su Danhong had planted just for her family to eat, Mother Ji’s was considered a dramatic move. Plus, she had taken care of it with utmost care. It resulted in a great harvest this time.

When she couldn't pick the strawberries alone, she started to use Hou Wazi, Xiaozhen, and Xiaoyu. She told them that they could get a dime for three days of work, which was about three cents a day. That was not a small amount.

With the money she was giving as motivation, all three worked very hard. They went to school at seven o'clock, so they got out of bed a little after five o'clock. During early dawn, they picked strawberries from a bit after five o'clock to six thirty. The children were nimble and could pick a lot. It saved Mother Ji a lot of time and effort. And all three of them were happy to do the work.

As they spent their days picking strawberries, Su Danhong asked them to bring their school bags with them. After picking strawberries, they had breakfast with her. Then, they went to school with some strawberries as snacks.

The three little children were very happy because the breakfast made for them by their third aunt was so delicious and they didn't have the same food everyday. One day with ribs porridge, one day with bone porridge, the other with lily seed porridge, or lean meat porridge, and scrambled eggs and meat.

After a big breakfast, they went to school with a few strawberries.

The three of them knew that their younger cousin, Yan'er, was not their third aunt’s daughter, but they were all envious of the ignorant Yan'er. It was because they also wanted to be raised in their third aunt's family!

The three kids came to Su Danhong’s on time almost every day and worked hard because the breakfast was delicious. The more they worked, the hungrier they became, and then they could eat more.

The peak season for strawberries lasted for more than a week. Throughout the week, there were several baskets of strawberries every day. Su Danhong sold them through Su Jindang. It tasted good, and fruit at this time was not expensive. These types of strawberries were juicy and delicious, so a lot of people became repeat customers.

Because strawberries were being sold at this time, Su Jindang’s shop was once again popular and led to better business for chickens, eggs, fresh fish, and vegetables.

Business was easy. Su Jindang had to be cautious. He detailed every purchase clearly for Mother Ji. When it came to business between him and his sister, he also had it recorded. However, he didn’t tell Mother Ji and had to make sure nothing had an error.

He would drive to the village every day and verify the records with Mother Ji. The money would be paid once a day.

What kind of person was Mother Ji? She had a lot of strawberries harvested. In her mind, there was a weight. Even if it wasn’t anything specific, she had many things on her mind.

Therefore, she was very satisfied with reviewing records with Su Jindang every day. He sold the strawberries at a few cents higher than the price she had in mind, which showed that Danhong's second brother did not cheat on her.

Mother Ji wanted to give him money because he helped her sell cherries. Su Jindang quickly said, “I can’t accept this. With your strawberries, it brought in more business to the shop. It would be too much to ask for money.”

Thus, Mother Ji had a better impression of Su Jindang and said to him, “Oh, Su Jindang, you have to come and help pick cherries in a few days.”

“Don't worry, Aunt, I'll definitely have to come and help, but I have to finish the morning rush at the shop first. If not, then my wife will have to take care of our child by herself,” Su Jindang said.

“That's not a problem.” Mother Ji was very happy. Danhong’s second brother was a man who took care of his family and loved hife. also a family love wife. Mother Ji really liked these kinds of men.

When Mother Ji reviewed the records with Su Jindang and took the money. She went over to Su Danhong’s to split the money. She made a deal with Danhong. They would split it in half.

Although the strawberries were taken care of by Mother Ji, and Su Danhong would be getting money for free, Mother Ji did not feel like she was losing out. She knew in her heart that without Danhong's help, she could not have grown such good strawberries. She had done farm work for so many years, so how could she not know what was important for the harvest?

Even if she used more fertilizer, it was absolutely impossible for her to grow such delicious and beautiful strawberries. Thus, Mother Ji was willing to share this money!

In the end, Mother Ji really liked Lao San’s wife. She really did not feel unhappy giving her the money. Just look at how Hou Wazi, Xiaozhen, and Xiaoyu came over to eat every morning. She was a grandmother, and these were her grandchildren, so of course she liked this. And to tell the truth, Danhong was only their aunt, so she wasn’t obligated to feed them.

Danhong did not mind about these things. She was taking care of her family. She gave them delicious food every day and let them eat until they were completely full. The children’s mothers were not as giving as Danhong. Moreover, Yan’er was very healthy and growing well. She was also taught to be very clever. When they came across someone, she would smile and address them. She spoke really well.

Mother Ji really thought that there was no better wife than Lao San’s wife.

Speaking of, perhaps it was the Ji family’s ancestors that blessed Jianyun to protect the country. Otherwise, how could such a daughter-in-law join their family?

And although half of the money was given to Su Danhong, Mother Ji had three more yuan every day. In a month, Mother Ji could almost have a small profit of almost one hundred yuan!

This was a huge sum of money for Mother Ji!

Coming up, they had watermelons. She had planted a lot of watermelons, which would definitely make a lot of money when it was time!

Mother Ji was full of energy every day.

At a later time, the cherries were ripe and harvested first. That same day, Ji Jianyun and Lao Qin drove straight to Jiangshui City.

They brought a scale and small change with them.

While they drove the big truck to Jiangshui City, the family continued to pick the cherries. What they harvested that day would have to wait until early tomorrow morning for Ji Jianyun and Lao Qin to drive to Jiangshui City. They went to Jiangshui City on the same day and returned on the same day. They were responsible for selling it, and the family was responsible for the harvesting.

As Lao Qin’s big truck went in and out of the Lao Ji family’s orchard, the news about it was huge to the villagers. They learned that the cherries were ripe, and they were picking them to sell in Jiangshui City. It made the villagers extremely envious.

The families that also planted fruit trees, but did not have a harvest this year were especially envious.

Despite their envy, who would dare go against Ji Jianyun's orchard now? And how many strong men were there? Within all of Ji Jianyun’s brothers, Ji Jianyun was the strongest out of all of them. There was also Su Danhong’s brother, as well as Ji Hongjun and Xu Aidang, who only worked for their family. Then there was Lao Qin, who sold fruit.

Furthermore, there were the big tough dogs Su Danhong had raised. These days, Su Danhong specially brought Da Hei along with her. He had a pair of fangs that could scare any child into crying. He was stealthy when he went out. Who wouldn’t swallow their saliva and retreat once they saw the dog?
