Chapter 166 – Brought Prosperity to Their Lives
Su Danhong understood Mother Ji’s thought process. Aside from Mother Ji, Zhen Miaohong also heard about the 4,000 yuan fine, and it was also painful for her to think about.
4,000 yuan was a lot. Even affluent families today wouldn’t be willing to sacrifice that much for a child.
Yet, Su Danhong was planning to have more children. Having a third child was possible, but a fourth child later might not be possible.
In any case, it was her personal business.
Besides, this place was nice and peaceful. However, she did think that the country’s government was a little imperfect. The government was already in charge of everything, and still had to control how many children people had.
In her last life, people could give birth to as many children as they wanted.
At the end of the day, the government was different. Since the country was formed like this, there had to be a reason for it, so it was better to just abide by it.
Mother Ji saw how she smiled and was silent. She knew that she still wanted to have a baby.
Mother Ji sighed, but did not stop her. She said, “The money for the family should be saved more.”
Truthfully, in her heart, didn’t she want more grandchildren? She herself had given birth to four sons and a daughter.
Lao Da’s family had Ji Xiaodong, or also known as Hou Wazi. Lao Er’s family had Xiaozhen and Xiaoyu, and Lao Si’s family had Yan’er.
If Su Danhong did not give birth to Renren, then the Lao Ji family would have only one grandson, Ji Xiaodong. But now with Renren and Qiqi, there were three male grandchildren and three female grandchildren.
But there wasn’t anything wrong with having more grandchildren. It’s just that the fine was too heavy.
She loved money too much.
“I’ve already talked to Jianyun about these things. Mother, you don’t have to worry,” Su Danhong said.
Mother Ji nodded and said nothing more.
Su Danhong looked at the orchard and went to water it with some spiritual spring water. She didn’t know if it was because she gave birth to two sons, but there was a lot more spiritual spring water now and it was endless.
With the other mountain, she also watered it with some spiritual spring water.
She was the boss of the mountains, so she took her son to look around the fruit trees. No one would dare to talk about what she was doing. And she also came whenever she wanted. Generally, it was in the evening. The trees needed to be watered in the evening. The fruit trees were watered once in the morning and once in the evening, so that’s why she went at night.
The trees did not have anything ready to be sold at the market yet. Preparations for this orchard were not as fast as the other one. In the past, she used to water the orchard every day, and there was no harvest during the first year. However, there was fruit in the second year, and it was a big harvest.
It was going to take some time to build the neighboring mountain, and it might not be as good as the other mountain.
It was mostly because all the fruit trees over there have been planted for a while. The trees were being watered by Wang Dagang every day, and the chicken coop has been built.
The next big project was a big pig pen.
They were going to build a sheep shed but later Ji Jianyun changed his mind and decided to build a pig pen.
Because of this, a lot of wild herb seeds were sowed on the neighboring mountain, and Su Danhong would water it with some spiritual spring water from time to time. In addition, in order to handle having a pig farm, Ji Jianyun asked the villagers to grow a variety of sweet potatoes, and then he would buy from them.
Ji Jianyun was basically supporting the whole village.
They heard that he wanted to set up a pig farm, so he would definitely need sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines. That way, the pigs would grow very fat and healthy.
Since he started the conversation, then he would keep his word.
Therefore, some families in the village planted sweet potatoes on the remaining land in their homes.
Ji Jianyun was very generous. He also let the people who wanted to grow sweet potatoes to dig up the chicken dung from the orchard. Chicken dung was a necessary fertilizer for farming. Some people in the village would spend money to buy chicken dung. But since it was for the village people, Ji Jianyun didn’t want to ask for money. Additionally, he also let them take some vegetables that couldn’t be sold to feed the chicken.
So when people in the village talked about Ji Jianyun, they really did not have much to say.
For a while, Uncle Ji’s family was not the only family interested in Ji Jianyun’s orchard. There were also two other families.
Those two families revealed their intentions to sell their mountains, and Mother Ji became aware of it. After that, she went to tell Ji Jianyun. However, Ji Jianyun didn’t plan to get another one. The neighboring mountain was still under construction.
Moreover, it would take a lot of manpower and money to invest in an orchard. He also wanted to buy a department store with Sister Hong. It was true that he made money every day, but he didn’t have the mental willpower to get another one.
So, Mother Ji went back to the two families.
She went back to complain. She said that she did not have the money now for another mountain. Besides those mountains, she didn’t even know whether the neighboring mountain would be successful. Although the fruit trees looked good, they were not as good as their own orchard.
It was clear that the risk of establishing an orchard was not small.
Mother Ji didn’t say anything else, but said that she would not buy the mountains for the time being.
The two families could only sigh and continue to insist.
At first, they didn’t believe in the supernatural. They didn’t believe that Jianyun’s wife would lead to prosperity, but now they had to admit it after the results of having their own mountain.
Aside from them, even Uncle Ji’s family believed in it.
The orchard was originally owned by his family. Now Jianyun, his nephew, was willing to take it over. He had replaced it with a new batch of fruit saplings. This batch of new fruit saplings were a little better than theirs. It was only a little, not a lot better.
When they first bought the saplings, it was the best available at the time.
Lao Qin didn’t swindle them. It was really the truth.
But Uncle Ji and his sons did everything they could, and the fruit tree could not be grown. So then the orchard was put into Jianyun’s hands.
Ji Jianyun wasn’t really involved in the daily operations. The orchard was mostly supervised by Uncle Ji while Wang Dagang, Yang Aisen, and Xu Jianguo worked.
And the work was just fertilizing and watering. There was nothing else, but the orchard looked great!
The only difference between this orchard and the other one was how Jianyun’s wife would come up with their son to take him to water the trees sometimes. No one saw anything else.
If Jianyun and his wife really had supernatural powers, then it was complete nonsense.
But somehow they were successful.
Even Uncle Ji could only say that he believed in it. He would only say that Jianyun’s wife brought prosperity to their lives. There was no other explanation.
And just look at the way she was, all good fortune came her way. She gave birth to two sons with Jianyun, and each child was wonderful. The children were not like theirs at all. It was like they were Young Lords in their previous lives.
