Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 73: Solemn Father Ji

Father Ji opened the gate and let her in.

As soon as Ji Yunyun went in, she was even more excited! She saw so many fruit trees!

“Father, is this our family’s orchard? That's so great! It’s growing so well! There will definitely be fruits next year to sell!” Ji Yunyun immediately exclaimed to her father.

Father Ji chuckled and said, “I hope so.”

“Father, if this makes money next year, I want money to buy materials. We have a lot of materials to buy in the teacher college to study!” Ji Yunyun said.

“You can talk about it with your third brother. This orchard belongs to him,” Father Ji said with a grin.

“What do you mean third brother’s? It belongs to third brother and not our family?” Ji Yunyun had to ask.

Upon hearing this, Father Ji stopped walking. He looked at his daughter seriously and answered, “Yunyun, you need to understand this clearly. What belongs to your third brother belongs to him, and has nothing to do with us. On the first day of the New Year, this mountain was transferred to be under your third brother's name. Your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother were all witnesses.”

Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth and said, “It must be because of Su Danhong. She saw that the mountain was good, so she used some crooked method to get it!”

Father Ji's face immediately sank and reprimanded solemnly, “Yunyun, you are not young. Don't say that again!”

On the first day of the New Year, Lao San’s wife managed everything brilliantly. Not only did she not follow Lao Da’s wife and Lao Er’s wife in creating a fuss, she took out 400 yuan to solve it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know how to solve that difficult situation. What if they would really need to sell Lao Si’s apartment?

As for Father Ji himself, he had mentally noted the roles Su Danhong played.

And who didn’t know what kind of state this mountain was before?

It was only in her hands that the mountain could be developed like this. It’s not like it was blown in by a typhoon. Also, how much did it cost to hire someone? How much did it cost to build the wall? And when these saplings were delivered, money was also needed. Which one of these did Lao San’s wife not pay for?

Therefore, even if Father Ji did not say what he thought of his third daughter-in-law’s, there was no need.

Moreover, she was also filial to the old couple, and always remembered them if she had anything nice. Since Lao San’s wife asked Jianyun to send soup and meat from time to time, he felt much better and refreshed than before.

Aside from Lao San’s wife, could the other three be relied on?

That’s why Father Ji had to warn his daughter that the things that belonged to her third brother's family only belonged to her third brother's family, and had nothing to do with the old couple. If it was something that belonged to the old couple, Lao Da’s family, Lao Er’s family, and Lao Si’s family would have a share.

Ji Yunyun did not expect her father to be so serious. She dared to talk back to her mother, but she would never talk back to her father.

With a pout, she said nothing, but looked at the orchard with uncontrollable jealousy in her eyes.

No wonder the woman, Su Danhong, tried to flaunt the orchard just now. The orchard was managed so well!

“In the past, you and mother worked so hard here. Why couldn't you grow anything?” Ji Yunyun had to ask.

“Your third sister-in-law hired two capable workers to help grow the orchard,” Father Ji said.

“She hired people?” Ji Yunyun’s eyes widened. “She thinks she has become the eldest young lady of a landlord family!”

Father Ji was angry and glared at her. “Is that how you speak?”

Ji Yunyun could not stop herself from saying, “No, but it's so expensive to hire someone. Why doesn't she come out and do it herself?”

“Your third sister-in-law was pregnant, so how could she work? Come along now. It’s all the adult's business, so you don't have to worry about it,” Father Ji said.

Ji Yunyun was not convinced. Ugh, why is the orchard in the hands of that woman, and it is growing so well!

“Baaa!”

Just then, the sound of sheeps was heard ahead of them. Ji Yunyun asked, “Where did the sheeps come from?”

“Your third brother bought some to raise on the mountain,” Father Ji answered.

Ji Yunyun immediately couldn't help it. She had to go see it. As soon as she saw how there were so many sheep, she was really coveting the sheeps. If she sold them, how much money would that be?

“Yunyun is here on winter break,” Ji Jianyun said when he saw his sister. He was working at the moment.

“Third brother, why are you raising so many sheep?” Ji Yunyun came over and asked.

“The orchard is so empty that it’s not a problem to raise a few sheeps.” Ji Jianyun replied.

The mountain was really huge, so this amount of sheep was really not much. The main thing was to see if they could be raised there. If they could, then they would be allowed to breed among themselves and there would be a little more to raise next year.

At this moment, Xu Aidang and Ji Hongjun had just come out from cleaning the chicken shed. It went without saying that these two were hired by Su Danhong. The smell was a little strong. Ji Yunyun covered her nose and asked, “What’s that smell?”

“It’s from the chickens. It’s not like you haven't smelled it before,” Father Ji said to her.

As soon as the wind blew, the smell was gone. Ji Yunyun asked in surprise, “Chickens are being raised too?”

“There is a chicken shed and sheep shed ahead. You can go and have a look,” Ji Jianyun responded.

“Forget it,” Ji Yunyun declined.

Father Ji and Ji Jianyun didn't force her either.

But Ji Yunyun stayed for a while and then couldn't help it. She went to see the sheep shed and the chicken shed.

The more she looked, the more she felt that her third brother's orchard was appearing nicer and nicer to her.

When Ji Yunyun came back, she exclaimed, “By the time it’s the New Year, these chickens should be ready to eat!”

Ji Jianyun nodded and said, “If you want to eat some, then just grab a few.”

Father Ji angrily said, “How old are you now? Don't take any! If you want to eat chicken, then go into town and buy it!”

Ji Yunyun was immediately unhappy and said, “Go and buy it? It costs a lot of money. There is still about a month left before the New Year, and they will grow during that month.”

“If you want to eat chicken, then go into town and buy it. You can't eat these chickens,” Father Ji repeated and continued to tell her no.

Ji Yunyun was very unhappy and went back when she was bored.

Ji Jianyun said, “Father, if Yunyun wants to eat chicken, then just let her eat some. It's just a few chickens.”

“It’s not just about the chickens. If your family starts doing this and people come around, how many chickens do we have to kill for them to eat? You're a father now, so you need to save. Your wife can make money, but you can't take advantage of her all the time. It's a man's job to support your family.” It was the first time Father Ji spoke to him like this.

In fact, his third son's hand lines were a little big1. Yunyun was not sensible and neither was Jianyun. If Yunyun wanted to eat chicken, then she could go into town and buy two or three. If she wanted these chicks, then how many would be left? One chick only had a bit of meat.

Ten or twenty chicks were not enough for her to be full!

If the chicks were raised until the beginning of spring next year, they would only weigh about one jin. They needed to be about two jin to be taken to the market and to make money from them.

Father Ji also heard that his son was going to buy a truck next year. According to what he said, the truck would cost about two or three thousand yuan. If they didn’t save their money, then where would the money come from?

Ji Jianyun could not laugh or cry, but he nodded at his father’s lecturing. “Father, I know. I will definitely do a good job next year!”

Father Ji was very satisfied with the third son. He nodded and had nothing more to say about the chickens. He only stated, “Take Renren up the mountain tomorrow and let me have a look at him.”
