Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Su Danhong's impression of Ji Jianwen, the fourth brother-in-law, was still good. Although he sometimes did things foolishly, Ji Jianwen's thinking and awareness were much better than the two brothers above him.

He had secretly borrowed 500 yuan from Father Ji and Mother Ji to buy a place, and even now, he said that he would pay it back.

Yun Lili certainly wanted to forget about paying back this money, but Ji Jianwen had never thought of that.

In essence, Ji Jianwen was a good person.

Yun Lili was the wife, but she did not take care of enough things in a genuine and proper way. She generally took care of their social relationships. She would save what could be saved, and spend what could not be saved. She waited for the argument to happen and then ended up having to pay double.

Su Danhong could not understand her thinking.

At this time, it was obviously necessary to build an additional thatched shack, and fortunately, there were enough workers on the mountain.

Not counting Ji Jianwen, there was Father Ji, Ji Hongjun, Xu Aidang, and Ji Jianhe from Uncle Ji’s family. Ji Jianhe had begun to work formally on the mountain. He worked together with Xu Aidang. The chicken coops and sheep sheds had expanded. They needed to keep up with the work required.

There were many other things to work on. In short, the orchard on the mountain was busy all day. Good workers couldn’t be idle.

For example, this time, building the shack required strong men.

It's very cold now, and the ground was hard. It demanded their best effort. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕗𝕠𝕩𝕒𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕔.𝕔𝕠𝕞 ♥

Several strong men worked hard for seven or eight days. They tried to get the thatched shack ready before the snow fell. They put in a kang, and then sowed the alfalfa seeds.

Father Ji's mood was much better because he was so busy. Like Mother Ji, he was not in the mood to think too much.

Father Ji had a lot to do, and Mother Ji was also helping by cooking. Both of them were busy.

That day, Mother Ji didn't come down from the mountain. When Ji Jianwen came back, he said that his mother would not come back for dinner today.

So he, Yun Lili, Ji Yunyun, and Yan'er were the only ones in the house.

“Mother is there today too. Why does she always like eating that person’s food? It’s not like we don’t have anything here!” Ji Yunyun was cooking that day and had to complain to her fourth sister-in-law.

Yun Lili stated, “I heard that the food from third sister-in-law is good.”

It was really good. The meals included meat and fresh vegetables. Third brother-in-law went down to the river to catch fish even on cold days. The fish were very fresh. Basically, there was no shortage of fish and meat for each meal. Not to mention how good Su Danhong’s complexion was from all the nutrients.

When Yun LIli was pregnant with Yan'er, she was treated well, but it was far from how Su Danhong was treated.

As Yun Lili thought about this, she became jealous.

“Hmph, isn’t she just taking my third brother's money to act generous? Besides, fourth sister-in-law, you don't know this yet, but she frequently gives to her maternal family. She has given them meat at least three or four times. I've seen it happen!” Ji Yunyun grumbled between gritted teeth.

Yun Lili glanced at her and thought, if I had money, I would also like to give it to my maternal family. Your maternal home is where you grew up, so filial piety to them is a must.

But listen to this girl's tone. When she gets married, her maternal family won't get anything good from her.

“Our meals here every day are either radishes or cabbages. She doesn't want to bring some meat over!” Ji Yunyun continued to complain.

There was a big fight at home last time. The next day, her fourth brother went to buy a lot of meat. However, the meat was cured by her mother, and now it’s hanging outside. She said it was for the New Year. She didn't get to take a bite of fresh meat. She had not even eaten a few pieces of meat after coming back for so long, and her tongue was quickly losing taste buds.

“There are also many chickens on the mountains. It is reasonable to say that they do not have a shortage of eggs,” Yun Lili said at this time.

She also wanted to eat meat, but how could she? There was still half a month left before the New Year.

There wasn’t much left at home now. They had spent a lot of money on meat because of the fight. She wasn’t willing to spend any more. But weren't there a lot of chickens on third brother-in-law’s mountain? They didn’t bring a lot of chickens down the mountain, but there had to be a lot of eggs, right?

“I'll go up the mountain to pick up eggs later!” Ji Yunyun asserted.

She can't bear it anymore.

After a simple meal, Ji Yunyun went up the mountain by herself. When she came up, Father Ji and Mother Ji had just finished eating. There were fish bones left, and it was clear from a glance that they also had celery and meat soup, and the remaining was egg drop laver soup!

No wonder her parents didn’t want to go home for dinner. They were living a better life. Look at her father, this year, he looked younger than last year. It was the same for her mother. They had gained a lot of weight!

They didn’t care about how their daughter lived!

Seeing her, Father Ji asked, “Why did you come up?”

“Father, why are you talking like that? This is my third brother's orchard. Why can't I come up here?” She was upset, so she had to retort.

“It’s fine if you come up, but don't start trouble. If you do, I’ll make you go home and stay there!” Mother Ji threatened.

Mother Ji could tell now: Oh, it's better for me to live with Jianyun. The old man and I can’t expect anything from the others. Don't be angry with her and hope she’ll improve.

Ji Yunyun also knew that she couldn’t be forceful now, otherwise she definitely would not get any eggs. She whined, “Mother, I'm an adult. Why would I do that?”

“It’s good if you know,” Mother Ji said.

“Mother, there's nothing in the house now. Every day, we eat so plainly. Can I eat the meat hanging outside?” Ji Yunyun begged.

“Those are for the New Year to eat together. The meat is to stop others from saying that your fourth brother has bought nothing for us,” Mother Ji said.

As she spoke about this, her complexion was not so good.

Her opinions about Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan were not that great. It was a knot in her heart. She would bring out the meat when the New Year's Eve family dinner was over. Therefore, she would definitely not do anything to the meat.

“If I can't eat the meat, then I can eat something else. Are there any eggs on the mountain? I haven’t eaten meat all day long, I have no strength,” Ji Yunyun said.

After Father Ji glanced at her, he said to Mother Ji, “Go and bring her a basket.”

As their youngest daughter, Father Ji and Mother Ji obviously love her. They had four sons before they had this daughter. How could they not love her? However, this love can not make up for ignorance of this young woman, who always caused trouble for her third sister-in-law.

It was obvious now that they both favored their third daughter-in-law. They were being realistic. To be honest, they could not rely on their other sons, let alone their youngest spoiled daughter.

“A basket of eggs costs a lot of money,” Mother Ji said.

But even after she said that, she went and brought out a basket of eggs. There were two or three jin, and handed them to her. “Take this back and ration it!”

“I know.” When she got the eggs, Ji Yunyun was very happy. She said, “And it's just some eggs. For you, mother, there are so many chickens on the mountain, you can just wait a while and get more eggs.”

“It's cold now, and not that many hens are laying eggs!” Mother Ji angrily stated.

There were some hens that continued to lay eggs. The reason for this was due to the good food they ate. It was only like this that there could be one egg guaranteed every day. However, even if this was the case, not a lot of eggs could be collected.

A lot of eggs were collected before winter arrived. Currently in the town, Su Jindang’s business at the shop was pretty good. One or two baskets of eggs were needed every day.
