Chapter 163 – Hard Earned Money

Su Danhong saw Ji Jianyun coming back, and she asked with a smile, “Did they agree?”

“They are all happy.” Ji Jianyun smiled back.”

“If they work hard, your parents will be happy,” Su Danhong said as she laid out the dishes.

She and Ji Jianyun’s lives were getting better and better, and the family was also growing. Ji Jianwen’s situation was also not bad. He bought a house in Jiangshui City. Although it is only 80 square meters, it was definitely enough for their family of three to live in.

Moreover, both of them were teachers, which was definitely a steady job and a respectable one.

As for the other brothers, there was Ji Jianguo and Ji Jianye.

These two were the eldest son and the second son, but they had been doing farm work all their lives.

It was really ugly when Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan started the fight during the New Year last year, and the two brothers didn’t know about it. It broke the family connection. These two men wouldn’t make Ji Jianwen, the youngest brother, look bad because of a little trifle.

Life today was no longer the same as in the past. Despite how they were not rich, three meals a day was absolutely enough.

However, because of what happened, Father Ji and Mother Ji didn’t like to see them. Although Mother Ji wanted to say something, she was blocked by Father Ji.

Don’t ask Su Danhong how she knew, she just knew.

She knew that her mother-in-law was unhappy, especially this year. Ji Jianyun had asked her worthless older brother to work for him, but did not ask his own eldest brother and second brother.

But it was human nature for Mother Ji to feel that. After all, those two were her own sons. In comparison, Su Danhong was a daughter-in-law. Her status was separated by a layer, so don’t mention her eldest brother, Su Jinjun’s status.

But now everything was all right. Mother Ji didn’t have to be embarrassed any more because each family was given a position.

As for whether the families could do well or not, Su Danhong didn’t care. If they didn’t do well, they would be replaced. She believed that her Jianyun was very clear about that.

Even her lazy, changed elder brother went to work at the orchard, and now he ate less than a bull every day, and worked harder than a bull.

Ji Jianyun said, “Don’t worry about them. They will do well for themselves.”

Su Danhong nodded and said nothing more. As for Ji Jianyun’s promise to pay for Ji Jianye to learn how to drive, she had no opinion about it. The money was not an issue, and she wouldn’t expect Ji Jianye to pay for it. Otherwise, Ji Jianye would complain, and Ji Mudan would keep mentioning it.

Following this, Ji Jianyun was busier. He drove Ji Jianye to learn how to drive, and then took Sun Dashan and Sister He to the college town.

The shop over there had been decorated, and it was done very well. In this era, this kind of decoration was high-end, and also very practical.

The back courtyard was used as a residence, and the front was used for business.

Sister Hong went to buy two notebooks without him requesting it and asked him to record the goods in the notebook before transporting it. When she checked and accepted the goods on her side, she wrote it in the other notebook and tried to haggle.

Yes, it was to haggle.

Both Sun Dashan and Sister He have discussed that if they want to keep doing this job forever and always receive 70 yuan a month, then they must be clear about all the money accounts.

Sister He did what she used to do in the convenience department store and asked if she could make a summary once a month. It was originally planned to be done once every seven days. But Ji Jianyun said that once a month. Since the boss spoke, and Sister He has nothing else to respond with.

Ji Jianyun saw how the couple acted, and he didn’t say more and told them to do their jobs well.

Today, he took the couple and brought a truck of goods with him. He told them to sell the goods while he would be responsible for collecting money. The couple, Sun Dashan and sister He, had a look at how his business worked in the college town, and they were relieved.

If business was always this good, then their pay would be guaranteed.

When Ji Jianyun took them around to do business, they were also introduced to the uncles and aunts. He also told them the location of the store in the future. Today, Sun Dashan and Sister He were settling down. Tomorrow, they will open the store to do business.

And tomorrow, the whole store will have a 20% discount. If they want to stock up, then they must go quickly. After tomorrow, there might not be any more goods.

There were only a few kinds of goods in total. It included live chicken, eggs, honey, strawberries, and a lot of watermelons. The price was very straightforward and not complicated.

Ji Jianyun left the couple so that they could adapt themselves to the environment, or walk around to be familiar with the area. Thus, he drove back.

When he came back, he began to organize things. He sent a batch of live chickens and eggs to the store first. Ji Jianyun knew what it meant to open a store with a 20% discount. It would definitely sell well, and things must not be lacking.

Ji Jianyun had already bought a refrigerator that was placed in the backyard. It was one of those big commercial refrigerators. Thus, Sun Dasun and sister He started to kill the chickens. Ji Jianyun sold the chickens alive before. The price was a little cheaper, but even so, many people didn’t like killing them.

But now that Sun Dasun and Sister He are here, all that work would be done by them.

After being killed, they were placed in the refrigerator. Ji Jianyun sent two trucks of goods, and there were a lot of eggs. There were many chickens in the refrigerator that were just killed. With the cold temperature, it would still be very fresh to sell tomorrow.

After two trips, Su Danhong was very distressed and was annoyed as she said, “Why don’t you ask Lao Qin to go with you and let him drive for one trip and it will be over.”

In her mind, she thought it was a little painful to spend money for Ji Jianye to learn how to drive, but now it was no longer painful. She would have let Ji Jianye learn earlier so her Jianyun didn’t have to work so hard.

They could just pay 30 yuan a month for someone to do this work.

“I won’t call Lao Qin over. There’s not much left to do,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.

There was more that needed to be transported tomorrow, but he didn’t plan on calling Lao Qin. This was his shop and there was no need.

Su Danhong knew that he didn’t want to bother his friend, so she gave him an annoyed look and ignored him. She still boiled soup for him to drink at night, and boiled water for him to soak his feet. She saw how he had sweated all over, so she sent him to sleep with their sons.

On the third day, Ji Jianyun got up refreshed. He had breakfast, loaded all the goods, and drove to the college town.

When he came over, it was just past seven o’clock, but Sun Dashan and Sister He had already started doing business. It was obvious that business was very good because it was 20% off today, and everything would be gone after today.
