Chapter 171 – Not Ready to Marry Back to the Hometown

When Ji Jianye came home to rest, Ji Mudan asked him, “Why did you come back so early today?”

Her husband has been very busy these days. He was basically never home, but she was very happy about it. She thought this was how a successful man should look like.

In addition to that, for the past two or three months, he was paid on time every month. It was 30 yuan a month, she didn’t spend a penny of it. She saved all of it, and it was almost 100 yuan!

Thus, Ji Mudan looked forward to when her husband went out to work. As for the farming to do in the field, she could do it!

Ji Jianye was annoyed and said, “Jianyun gave me two days off to rest well at home.” He also sighed, “I’m so tired these days!”

“How tired can you be? You drive a truck to sell goods all day long, and you don’t need to be under the sun,” Ji Mudan exclaimed. “And I think you have gained some weight recently. How is the food at third brother-in-law’s side?”

The past few days have been exhausting. By the time Ji Jianyun and Ji Jianye came back, it was basically almost seven o’clock, so he had been eating over there.

Su Danhong always cooked a lot of dishes. Occasionally, she gave them a bowl of noodles with cold mixed vegetables and so on. Everything was also very delicious.

Ji Jianye didn’t have much to say about this. He was really busy, and the food was really good.

Moreover, the fruits he had to sell were endless. Usually, he and Jianyun went to a restaurant to eat, and it was really good.

”
”
Plus, the salary was 30 yuan a month. When he went to the college town, he heard that some people’s salary was less than 30 yuan. It was more like 27-28 yuan.

The salary Ji Jianyun gave to everyone was really high.

Since Ji Jianyun gave him a break right now, he was definitely going to rest well.

So in the next two days, Ji Jianye rested well at home. Ji Mudan left him alone. Who told him to make that much money?

Su Danhong also heard about the break for Ji Jianye, and she didn’t intervene since her husband had decided on it.

She was calculating wages. This time, she had recruited some part-time workers for the fruit season, and they were paid every two weeks. The last two weeks had not been paid yet.

“Did Yunyun help? I heard Yan’er say that her aunt eats fruit in the orchard all day,” Ji Jianyun said after looking through everything. He saw that wages for his sister had been calculated.

He went to the orchard yesterday, and Yan’er told him that her younger aunt didn’t work, was lazy, and only ate fruit. She shouldn’t be paid.

Ji Jianyun smiled. He picked up the little girl, who was only three years old, but nearly four, and went to cut a pear for her to eat.

She had seen Yunyun do nothing, so she had to say something.

It was what his wife had expected would happen.

Su Danhong said, “It’s only a few dollars. Let’s just give it to her. She just has a personality that can’t change.”

Of course, she knew what Ji Yunyun’s personality was like. She came back from the college town to help, but truthfully, she didn’t care about working and was eating the cherries since they started ripening.

Her complexion became better after eating all that good food when she came back.

However, she treated her third sister-in-law the same as before.

Su Danhong did not bother to stoop to her level. She mainly did things out of respect to Father Ji and Mother Ji. Things were really busy these days, and these two elders helped out a lot. With them around, Ji Jianyun’s work was much easier.

Su Danhong took care of Renren and Qiqi, and occasionally looked after Yan Er, who was already very mature. Along with taking care of the children, she was busy making three meals a day. She did not have other work to do.

Thus, it was basically Father Ji and Mother Ji who were busy.

Even though Su Danhong didn’t have a good impression on Ji Yunyun, she didn’t care.

On the contrary, Yan’er, this little girl, was acting just like a young adult. She was righteous and wouldn’t slack off. When she sees her aunt eating without work, she would tell on her. If others didn’t work, Yan’er would also tell on them. She was used to it since that was how she managed the little kids who helped pick strawberries in this way.

But those were children, Ji Yunyun was not. If Yan’er was Ji Yunyun’s third brother’s daughter, she would be rude to her. But Yan’er was the daughter of her fourth brother and sister-in-law, and she was close to them. Thus, she had a different attitude towards Yan’er.

She didn’t blame Yan’er, and turned her anger to Su Danhong and said that Su Danhong taught Yan’er to be like that.

Su Danhong didn’t bother to argue with her.

Meanwhile, Mother Ji felt that her daughter was really humiliating, and she did not conduct herself well. She dragged her out to lecture her. After that, Ji Yunyun knew her place, but she still didn’t work. She just couldn’t eat.

”
”
The people in the village who came to help also saw what happened. Behind everyone’s backs, they said they knew what was going on, but pretended they did not on the outside.

Who told her to have a promising third brother?

Some people had some thoughts and wanted to get married to Ji Yunyun.

But as soon as they expressed those thoughts, they realized that Yunyun’s relationship with her third sister-in-law was not very good.

This was a bit of a bind. She had three other sisters-in-law that they didn’t need to get along with, but they thought they would need to with her third sister-in-law.

Besides that, what about the way Danhong conducted herself? It was obvious to everyone that she was not difficult to get along with.

It was a very busy period of time, but Su Danhong still went to get a lot of meat from the mountain every day and she would ask her mother-in-law to stew bone soup to replenish her body.

There were also other things she did that everyone saw and it was all absolutely filial.

Haven’t everyone seen that both Mother Ji and Father Ji looked young since they joined Jianyun’s family? They were definitely busier than before, but they looked healthier, too.

This was all because of the food. They also heard Mother Ji say that once winter arrived, Lao San’s wife made a pot of soup every day. Mother Ji and her husband would have one or two bowls of warm and nourishing soup to drink.

Moreover, Mother Ji felt that she had less white hair over the years. She used to look similar to the other elders, but now she looked younger than them.

“Sister-in-law is going to prepare for marriage, right?” Su Danhong asked when she was calculating the wages.

”
”
“I don’t know what she plans to do.” Ji Jianyun shook his head.

Su Danhong thought that she must not be ready to marry. Otherwise, she would not be completely negative towards her in front of so many people in the village. She would have been more upright , instead of lazy. The eyes of the villagers were all sharp.

Those who were asked to help out by Mother Ji were usually not talkative, but who didn’t have this thought weighing in their minds?

“I’m done. Please look after Qiqi. I am going out to deliver the money to them.” Su Danhong had finished calculating everything.

“Just let mother go,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Mother has been tired for a while. I can go do this. Qiqi should wake up soon. You need to change his diapers, and then make him drink some water. I will be back soon,” Su Danhong explained. There were not that many people and it was just to the village. It would be a quick task.
