Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Even if Su Danhong did not get along well with Lao Qin’s wife, it did not affect Ji Jianyun’s friendship with Lao Qin.

There was no need to tell her mother about these things. With her mother’s defensive ways, she would definitely not agree to it.

Su Danhong brought up her eldest brother. “Mother, will eldest brother stay here in the future?”

Her relationship with Su Jinjun was quite so-so. In the past, Su Jinjun loved to push work onto her. As for when there was something good to eat, he would immediately eat it. He didn’t leave any of it for anyone. He was very selfish. So their relationship was so-so, which she was fine with as long as they didn’t fight.

If someone said Su Danhong was a bad person, it would be going too far because even if she was a lazy glutton, she was not as bad as Su Jinjun.

“You don’t have to worry about him. He’s worthless. He’s always complaining when he has to do something. I’ve never seen him volunteer for anything,” Mother Su grumbled coldly. “Your eldest sister-in-law is not any better.”

Eldest Su sister-in-law also had that kind of personality. She and her husband were definitely destined to be married to each other. However, she was also a prudent person. As long as she was given money, she would definitely do the work. Of course, the money must be paid to her alone, otherwise she would be lethargic and idle.

But as for Mother Su’s worthless eldest son, he was only willing to work if he was hungry. When it was about anything else, he just wanted to lie down in bed.

Now that life was much better, Mother Su didn’t care about her eldest son as much any more.

“That’s not good. Mother is still young. When you are older, can you count on him to take care of you? It will be very busy on the mountain next spring. Let him work in the mountains when that time comes. He will be paid a salary, but it will not include any meals,” Su Danhong suggested.

She could say this because she and Ji Jianyun had a plan. Next year, the chicken coops and sheep sheds would be enlarged. Also, Mother Ji wanted to plant watermelons and strawberries. They needed more manpower. There were already three workers on the mountain, but it wasn’t enough because there was too much to do like pruning the branches and leaves, and more.

Mother Su was surprised and said, “Why would you do that? He’s got a personality like a beggar.”

“What’s the matter? I think he’s a physically weak farmer. When he comes to work, I’ll ask Jianyun to do some martial arts with him. As long as mother doesn’t feel stressed out about him, then it’ll be fine,” Su Danhong said.

If she dared to allow Su Jinjun to work for her, then she would be sure to put him in his place. It was best to let Ji Jianyun practice martial arts with him. That way when Su Jinjun saw Ji Jianyun, he would be like a mouse seeing a cat.

Mother Su looked at her son-in-law. It would be great if his son-in-law could help her sort out her son, who was a disappointment.

As for whether she would be stressed or not, it was impossible. If she could, she would beat that unworthy son to death. She hoped that he would return as a better person, but she had never seen him be an honest man! ·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

“Eldest brother doesn’t have a bad temper. If he works for us, then he will be tired out. I’ll teach him some martial arts used for military exercises and he’ll grow,” Ji Jianyun agreed and nodded.

“When they come back, mother, you can talk about it with eldest Su sister-in-law. She has been eyeing a job with us for a long time. It won’t be a problem once she nags my brother,” Su Danhong said.

Mother Su nodded. “If your elder brother doesn’t work hard, and is only lazy and avoids woeking, then don’t be nice and just beat him!”

“Mother, you don’t have to worry. I’ve taken care of some tough newcomers before in the army. It was much harder teaching them than it wil be for eldest brother, but I’ve still taught them all,” Ji Jianyun reassured. He didn’t think there would be much of a problem.

“If you can teach Su Jinjun well, then I will be thankful to you all my life!” Mother Su said.

Although she didn’t say it, her unpromising eldest son’s personality had always been a headache for her. Their lives were okay because they had Mother Su. When she leaves, how would her eldest son’s family make a living? With no one to watch over then, the husband and wife might starve to death.

“Mother, you’re so serious about it,” Su Danhong laughed and said. “There’s still a lot to do.”

“Eat.” To the side, Renren couldn’t stop himself from saying that. He had opened his mouth for a long time, but no one put an orange to his mouth. The baby was unhappy.

“Okay, eat. Grandma forgot. Renren, please don’t get mad at grandma.” Mother Su broke off a piece of orange with a smile and fed it to Renren. Renren was then very satisfied.

After having lunch at the Lao Su house, the couple saw that it was getting late and went back.

Mother Su gave Renren a big red envelope, and the couple also gave Mother Su a big one.

Su Jinjun and Su Jindang returned. When they reached home, so did Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong.

Eldest Su sister-in-law was disappointed to hear that they had left. “So fast? Jinjun and I went back as soon as we could.”

Looking at her like this, Mother Su knew that she was scheming something. She followed up and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Mother, there isn’t a lot of work to do at home. I can finish it by myself. Jinjun doesn’t have anything to do at home, which isn’t good. I was wondering if they could let Jinjun work over there?” Eldest Su sister-in-law didn’t plan on saying anything at first. She knew her man’s personality. She was simply answering her mother-in-law’s question.

Today, when she went back to her maternal home, her mother also told her that wasn’t it foolish to not be close to such good relatives?

Just look at her second brother-in-law’s family. They had moved into the town, they might settle there forever in the future. They were not country bumpkins anymore, so why didn’t she learn from them?

With that, 80-90% of this idea came from her mother.

Mother Su became angry. “I also want Jinjun to work there, but look at how he behaves. What work does he do? He doesn’t even help out. It’s better for him to not be a hindrance. I can’t afford to be embarrassed by him.”

The Lao Ji elders were working on the mountain too.

Hearing this, eldest Su sister-in-law immediately knew that her mother-in-law would not agree.

“If you can make Jinjun show that he is willing to work hard, then I will go out of my way and ask Jianyun to give him a chance. If you can’t make him do that, then it will be humiliating to me. This means I won’t agree to anything anymore. So, your piece of land must be planted. If it’s not, then forget about the job that has a salary of more than 20 yuan a month.” Mother Su said dryly.

Eldest Su sister-in-law heard what she said and immediately asked, “If Jinjun goes to work, then can I keep the salary myself?”

“Keep it for yourself? You’re dreaming. You can keep ten yuan every month, and hand over the rest to me,” Mother Su retorted.

But even though it was like that, eldest Su sister-in-law was very happy!

When she calculated how much it would be if she was to keep ten yuan a month, it would be 120 yuan a year. How many people in the village could have that much money?!

“All right, mother, I’ll make Jinjun show you he can work hard. If he doesn’t, I’ll be done with him!” Eldest Su sister-in-law said and went back in a determined manner.

Su Jindang came over and said with confusion, “Mother, what did you say to eldest Su sister-in-law? Why did she fight with brother as soon as she went back to their room? It’s the New Year holidays.”
