Chapter 168 – Still Acts With Such Revolting Pettiness

In recent days, Ji Jianyun had accompanied Ji Jianye when he delivered goods to the college town.

However, if it was just replenishing the store’s goods, Ji Jianye could go alone because the route was easy to remember.

To prepare for the opening of the department store, Ji Jianyun took Ji Jianye to all the suppliers. They compared the goods from three suppliers to see which one was better and which one was cheaper.

So they have been very busy these days. *

When Ji Jianyun came back, he was tired. Su Danhong asked him to take a bath and she cooked him a big dinner. When he finished eating and began to go through the financial accounts, Su Danhong told him about Aunt Li.

“Don’t worry, uncle will handle it by himself,” Ji Jianyun said.

Su Danhong was surprised. “You don’t want to talk to her about it?”

Ji Jianyun smiled and said, “At the end of the day, we live in the same village, and the relationship is there. Although she was wrong, we have to give her a chance. If uncle doesn’t handle it, then we will step in.”

Su Danhong thought for a while, and thought it was reasonable. She said, “Then we will wait and see first.”

Ji Jianyun nodded and began to go through the financial accounts.

His department store with Sister Hong already had an agreement.

He paid 2,000 yuan and had 50% of the ownership. Originally, he was only going to ask for 20%, but sister Hong refused. She said that if he didn’t take 50%, then she wouldn’t cooperate at all.

It was because this partnership was a long-term one, and they were only working together for the department store. Sister Hong had bought the land, so that part only belonged to her. Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong had no intention of getting involved there.

Moreover, sister Hong was going to leave the department store to him to manage. 20-30% of the shares were too small. Also, they already had a relationship, so half was best.

This was the right strategy to follow for the future.

With what Sister Hong said, Ji Jianyun agreed. If she refused him again, then he would appear unreasonable.

So he took care of the shop.

As for the orchards on the mountains, they were all on schedule. There are also chicken coops and pig pens on the neighboring mountain. He gave Uncle Ji a supervisor management position, which was a needed position.

For example, if he gave out instructions, Uncle Ji would carry it out. He took Wang Dagang and the others to work together. If he didn’t, Uncle Ji was neglecting his duties.

As Ji Jianyun had expected, Uncle Ji came to talk the next day.

Ji Jianyun smiled and said, “If Aunt Li wants to take the orchard back, then it’s possible. But the cost of labor, as well as the cost of fruit saplings, should be returned.”

“No, Jianyun, don’t listen to her nonsense. She was just having a bad moment,” Uncle Ji said at once.

Although his nephew’s orchard was becoming successful, he had absolutely no intention of asking for it back. What was the point of that? He was the uncle. It would be too much intimidation. After that, how could he still have a good reputation in the village?

His nephew was kind enough to take over the orchard back then. And it was something he had asked him to do and consider it thoroughly.

Besides asking him to take over the orchard, didn’t he also pay for all the fees to transfer the mountain?

After that, he also gave him a position as a long-term worker and let him do management instead of doing hard work.

This nephew respected him deeply!

If he has any more thoughts of asking for the orchard back, then it would be really shameless. What would the people in the village think of him?

Ji Jianyun laughed and said, “I’m also busier these days. Uncle, you have to help me take a look at some piglets and choose some good ones for me to raise. When you need to charge it to the account, you can go find my father to go with you.”

“Don’t worry. I will definitely pick the best piglets for you.” Uncle Ji nodded.

Ji Jianyun continued to be busy with his businesses. He monitored the orchard and went to other places to monitor, too. He was actually planning to buy a piece of land. It wasn’t to farm, but to keep for his family.

Of course, he still wanted the things farmed in the village. He collected the vegetables, but he planned to sell them in the college town.

These days, he took his second brother around to look at the goods. He also saw what other people called department stores. The things in his college town shop were too monotonous.

How many things could he sell in total? Because it was fruit season, there were strawberries and watermelon these past few days. There was going to be more fruit in the future. But once the fruit season was over, there would be no more.

There would only be chicken, eggs and honey left. The demand for honey was too much, and sometimes there was not enough to sell.

As for sheep meat, there was not much. There were nearly twenty sheep on the mountain, but it was not much.

So that’s why he wanted to sell more things. Especially when business was really good.

Moreover, there were many strong men in the village who were willing to work for him. Thus, he came up with this idea.

But he was just too busy at this moment. It was better to wait until he’s not too busy.

Ji Jianyun gave his father 50 yuan and told him to go see the piglets when his uncle came to visit.

At this period of time, piglets were not expensive. One piglet was only two or three yuan. If more was bought, then it was definitely cheaper. For 50 yuan, 20 piglets would be sold.

“Isn’t 20 too little? By the time they grow up, there might be less than 20 pigs,” Father Ji said.

“No, our fengshui is good. We can grow and raise anything.”Ji Jianyun was very confident about this.

Aside from raising pigs successfully, they had already raised sheeps and chickens.

After raising chickens for such a long time, the number of dead chickens could be counted with one hand. It was no wonder that Mother Ji believes in the ability of the Great Fox Immortal.

So Ji Jianyun was confident in his ability to raise pigs. If he had 20 pigs, he would be able to raise all of them.

“That’s also true.” As they spoke of this, Father Ji was also in a good mood. His third son was really incredible and could raise anything.

Ji Jianyun went to the strawberry garden. Strawberries were almost finished now, but there were still some left. It was time for watermelons to hit the market.

“Mother, everyone in the college town is saying that your strawberries are delicious. The strawberries were all bought in a rush when they were transported over,” Ji Jianyun looked at Mother Ji and told her with a smile.

“Don’t try to flatter me now, I am angry.” Mother Ji rolled her eyes at him.

“How am I trying to flatter you, mother? It sold well. Mother, didn’t you get a lot of money this strawberry season?” Ji Jianyun laughed.

His mother’s finances were all calculated by his wife. He was not involved, but he still knew that she should have made quite a bit of money.

“How much more can I earn? It was almost 300 yuan.” Mother Ji’s mood improved and she smiled.

“With the watermelons, you’ll end up with 500 yuan,” Ji Jianyun said.

“That is true,” Mother Ji nodded and said with satisfaction. “But don’t try to fool me. Do you know what your aunt said about you?”

“I know. Uncle said he will deal with it,” Ji Jianyun confirmed.

“It affects your uncle’s dignity. Otherwise, who would put up with her? I thought her pettiness would be fixed as we got older. Who would have thought that she still acts with such revolting pettiness,” Mother Ji grumbled.
