Chapter 39 – People Always Change

“Eldest sister-in-law, this is written in black and white, and I can’t make a decision alone. If you really want to discuss  it, then you’ll have to wait for Jianyun to come back. He is the head of the family, and he has the final say in the family. You can have eldest brother-in-law come over to talk to him when he is back.” Su Danhong was so annoyed by her that she had no choice but to say this.

She did not believe that Ji Jianguo did not know what Feng Fangfang was thinking. The couple must have discussed it in private and they were really eyeing her orchard.

But how could she yield to them? There’s no way.

She borrowed some courage from Ji Jianyun. He would not agree to such a thing, and he was not foolish.

But when all was said and done, this was between the sister-in-laws. That’s why Su Danhong didn’t kill the discussion. She would just let Ji Jianyun play the villain. She was a wife who married in and could not do things as conveniently as Ji Jianyun, who could say anything he wanted.

But how could Feng Fangfang be so easy to get rid of?

She laughed. “Danhong, don’t hide it from eldest sister-in-law. Doesn’t third brother-in-law only listen to you? If you say east, he will not dare go towards west. It’s okay for you to make up your mind on this matter.”

She could see it during the New Year. She could accept what Su Danhong said if it was in the past. However, now that Su Danhong had become so beautiful, it was like her third brother-in-law was cuffed. The villagers were privately saying whether she had been possessed by a fox demon, otherwise how could she have changed so much?

Everything ended up in her hands. That barren land in the back mountain was in her hands. Look, those fruit trees were growing so well after they had just been planted, and there was a possibility they might blossom and bear fruit this year.

She could see that this husband and wife couple was really greedy.

" "

Therefore, she was going to spit out the 200 yuan she ate to get a piece of the pie.

Su Danhong felt nothing when Feng Fangfang flattered her, and smiled. “Eldest sister-in-law, I really can’t make the decision. It’s better to wait for Jianyun to come back and discuss it.”

Feng Fangfang saw that even if she didn’t let it go, there was really nothing she could do about it. She was a little angry and wanted to go back. Su Danhong said, “By the way, eldest sister-in-law, last time I went to town, I bought a pair of sneakers for Hou Wazi. They said it was made in Shanghai. Take it back to him. He needs to go to school and can’t let people laugh at him.”

Feng Fangfang was stunned until she was breathless. She quickly said with a smile, “Look at you, you gave the cloth to make Hou Wazi’s school bag, and now you bought him shoes. As his mother, I haven’t prepared anything for him. No wonder he shouts every day that he wants to go over to his third aunt’s house to see his younger brother, and he wants to play with his younger brother in the future.”

She also said this clearly. Su Danhong was not fed up with her, because even if Feng Fangfang had a small idea about taking advantage of her, she would say nice things. If she gave Ji Mudan, her second sister-in-law, something like that, she would never hear any nice words from her.

Moreover, if she had an issue, she could ask Feng Fangfang for help, and Feng Fangfang would take care of it for her. Last time, Feng Fangfang sent her two fish, which Ji Jianguo caught fresh from the river for what Su Danhong sent her.

“But I still don’t know whether it is a younger brother or sister. If it is a younger brother, he will have to take care of him as the older brother in the future.” Su Danhong giggled.

Her belly was not small right now, and the village knew about it. The original rumors collapsed from the truth, like it was beaten in the face. Some people even muttered, isn’t it just being pregnant? Why hide so mysteriously like a person who has never had a child?

A person with discerning eyes could glance at her belly and know how many months it had been. If the time was calculated, wasn’t it around the time when Ji Jianyun came back? Thus, everyone was cautious when they spoke, or else they would be a big joke.

However, not to mention the matter regarding the cheating, gossip said that she behaved like the young lady from a landlord family. She would have been dragged out and humiliated in the past for this, but the policy had changed now.

Su Danhong did not take the gossip too seriously.

Although Feng Fangfang didn’t receive a decision from Su Danhong about the orchard, she went home with a smile on her face. This made Ji Jianguo think that a promise was made.

“How was it? Did third sister-in-law say yes?”Ji Jianguo stopped chopping wood and quickly asked.

“No, Danhong said she couldn’t be the decision maker, so we need to wait for third brother-in-law to come back,” Feng Fangfang replied.

Ji Jianguo was surprised and angrily asked, “Isn’t this a refusal?”

“It’s not, but Danhong is a wife. It will be hard for her to make a decision about this matter, so she said to wait for third brother-in-law to come back. Then, you can go over and discuss it with him,” Feng Fangfang explained.

Ji Jianguo’s lips twitched. How could Jianyun agree? He just wanted to get Lao San’s wife to agree before Jianyun came back. It would be much easier to have Lao San’s wife’s help and it would simplify things. Now that there was no answer, it would be hard to get past Jianyun.

“Don’t blame Danhong. She’s pregnant now and not in the mood for this. Where’s Hou Wazi?” Feng Fangfang said.

“I don’t know where he went to dig out a bird’s nest,” Ji Jianguo angrily said and continued to chop wood.

“Look, Danhong specifically bought this for Hou Wazi. It’s from Shanghai. It feels good when I touch it. If you look at the workmanship, it’s not a cheap thing!” Feng Fangfang exclaimed and showed him the sneakers with a smile.

It was only then that Ji Jianguo noticed the pair of sneakers. After being stunned, he chuckled and said, “She actually bought it. I wanted to buy these shoes the last time I went to town to buy some pencils for Hou Wazi. I also went to have a look and said that they cost 2.30 yuan, but I couldn’t afford to buy it.”

“2.30 yuan?” Feng Fangfang was even more satisfied once she heard the price. She certainly wouldn’t have bought it. Unexpectedly, Su Danhong bought it for her son. “If you have free time, go to the river and have a look. If there are fish, send some to Danhong. I think she likes fish.”

“Okay,” Ji Jianguo responded happily.

The couple were dissatisfied with the rejection regarding the orchard, but they were in a good mood again because of the pair of sneakers Su Danhong sent.

The next day, Hou Wazi wore the shoes and came to look for her.

When it came to children like Hou Wazi that came over often, Da Hei basically didn’t care about them and didn’t watch them as closely as he did with Feng Fangfang.

Hou Wazi told her, “Third aunt, thank you for the sneakers you bought for me. I like them very much!”

”It’s fine if you like them, but don’t get them dirty and take good care of them, okay?” Su Danhong laughed and said.

“I know. I’ll just wear it for a while. I’ll take them off until I wear them for school,” Hou Wazi said proudly. He was wearing them for now to make his friends jealous.

“Are you hungry?” Su Danhong asked.

“What good food do you have?” Hou Wazi asked as his eyes lit up.

Su Danhong smiled and came back with two slices of cake for him. Hou Wazi thought it would be better if his third aunt was his mother.

“Third aunt, when will my younger brother come out? I want to play with him,” Hou Wazi wondered.

“There’s still a few more months.” Su Danhong smiled.

“A few months? That will be a long time,” Hou Wazi said seriously.

“It won’t be long. It will pass in the blink of an eye,” Su Danhong said.

When Mother Ji came over, she saw Hou Wazi eating cake and he was looking at Su Danhong very kindly. It looked like Lao San’s wife was making progress. Last year, she made a fuss and had even hanged herself for an omelette. Now, she was willing to give Hou Wazi something good to eat.

She just couldn’t be killed from a fatal blow. People always change.
