Chapter 139: Treatment
Ji Jianyun listened to Lao Qin as he said that he only had 700 yuan when he needed 2,700 yuan. Ji Jianyun did not hesitate to lend him 2,000 yuan.
Lao Qin then went to buy the place. He moved his family in and changed his shop’s location. Afterwards, he went to the old landlord to get a refund on the rent. He had paid for a year. The landlord refused to give it back, so Lao Qin went on to make a scene. Zhang Xueli helped him a lot with this.
In the past, when they saw the old lady, they tried to be really nice to her. But who even wanted to call her landlord?
Now that they were not renting her shop, and their family had bought a house, what could they be afraid of? Thus, Zhang Xueli made a huge fuss.
Although Zhang Xueli could only get back half of the rent by the end of it, she didn’t really lose out. She just ruined the reputation of the landlord by saying that she was untrustworthy. When the landlord saw that her business was doing well, she wanted to raise the rent all the time even though they had an agreement from before. Therefore, whoever rented her shop in the future would have bad luck.
She was so angry with the old landlord that she threatened to keep ruining her reputation!
In the end, both of them had to think about their families. After a fight like that, there’s not much else anyone could do.
Su Danhong and Ji Jianyun didn’t know about these things, and they didn’t have the time to know about it.
Right now the orchard is busy. This spring, Mother Ji took care of renewing the ground to grow strawberries and watermelons. The orchard had a good amount of fertilizer, so she was not worried about whether there would be a shortage of that. The fields had all been fertilized, along with the trees.
Ji Jianyun started giving out work to the workers.
Meanwhile, Su Danhong was really pregnant. In a flash, eight months had gone by and there was only one month left. Although she felt fine, Ji Jianyun still liked to ask Aunt Yang from next door to come over and watch her out of caution.
Aunt Yang was happy to do that. She and Uncle Yang didn’t have a lot of land to farm on at home. They usually grew enough food for themselves and their children. Then they would do their own work. They didn’t need their children to support them.
Also, Aunt Yang and Uncle Yang were close to Su Danhong and Ji Jianyun, while they treated them like family. ·????**?????????*? ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ??x??????.??? ?*?????????*?*·????
Before the fruits from the orchard were sold in the market, the two elders ate some. Su Danhong would carry some over, or Ji Jianyun would do it. During the winter, Su Danhong would visit with Renren. From time to time she would also bring some fruits she had bought, as well as fresh vegetables grown in the greenhouse.
The elders both felt that their children had all been raised in vain. Their own children were not as good as Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong.
Speaking of the relationship between Uncle Yang and Ji Jianyun, he was Ji Jianyun’s lifesaver. When Ji Jianyun was young, he was always playing around. In the winter, he fell into the water and Uncle Yang went in to save him.
Ji Jianyun remembered this.
The relationship between the two families became closer. Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang initially refused to take the things they brought over, but later, they took it.
Now that Ji Jianyun’s orchard was successful, they didn’t have to restrain themselves about this.
And if Ji Jianyun and Su Danhong needed help, they would lend a hand.
So when Ji Jianyun came to ask Aunt Yang to visit, Aunt Yang agreed and told him to go work without any worries.
“Jianyun is too nervous. I still have two weeks at the earliest,” Su Danhong said with a smile.
Aunt Yang said, “It won’t be long. Sometimes it’s two weeks early, sometimes it’s two weeks late. It won’t be an issue, Danhong.”
Su Danhong nodded. “If we have a good harvest this year, we’ll have to ask you for your help.”
“Of course,” Aunt Yang said and laughed.
She went to help during last year’s harvest. What she did was a small and easy job. She helped with cooking for everyone in the mountains.
She didn’t want to be paid any money at first, but when she saw that Mother Ji and the Lao Su family had taken the money, it would not be good for her not to not do the same, so she followed.
Ji Jianyun gave pretty much the same amount of money to the other workers. It was a lot and Aunt Yang was happy.
If it was busy this year again, she would go help. Whether she was paid or not was not important. If she did help, she would be treated fairly by Ji Jianyun. He would give her a lot of fruit to share with her grandchildren.
Recently, Ji Jianyun was a little nervous because his wife was going to give birth. It’s inconvenient to do anything with such a big belly.
So when he saw that the workers on the mountain were busy working, he came down.
Aunt Yang and Su Danhong were talking happily. Seeing that he came back, she said, “Jianyun, why are you back? Danhong has me. Don’t worry.”
“It’s busy now. I can just leave it to the workers,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
These days, Su Jinjun has been working like a model worker. Of course, this was the effect of being drilled by Ji Jianyun to practice martial arts for more than half a month.
Now he came to work on time every day, and occasionally worked overtime.
Sometimes, Su Jinjun worked nonstop because he knew that as soon as he stopped, Ji Jianyun would have an excuse to beat him.
Thus, he went to work.
Sure enough, after keeping himself busy with work, Ji Jianyun stopped bothering him. Occasionally, Ji Jianyun would bring him some meat buns and ask him to take a break.
The meat buns were particularly fragrant. He accepted them, but he didn’t take Ji Jianyun’s words seriously. He thought Ji Jianyun was looking for trouble.
But as his eldest brother-in-law, he didn’t want to be like him.
Mother Ji recently praised Su Jinjun. He was a part of their extended family, and although he had a bad reputation in the past, he changed.
Su Danhong’s eldest brother-in-law became really good at working. Aside from the beginning, he never slacked off or evaded work again. Mother Ji thought she should save face, so every day, when she cooked eggs for herself and Father Ji, she also cooked two for him.
Of course, they all had one yolk. Mother Ji picked those out specifically. The ones with two yolks were sold.
But this kind of treatment was very good.
So after working here for two or three months, Su Jinjun looked like he was much more energetic than before. Since he worked every day, he was also much stronger, which made him look like a better worker.
Mother Su naturally knew it too, so she had asked him about it privately.
Although Su Jinjun didn’t want to admit it, he had to say that he was very satisfied with the way things were.
The monthly salary was 30 yuan, and Mother Ji would give him one or two eggs every day. Ji Jianyun, his brother-in-law, who he did not like, would bring him some big meat buns to eat sometimes. So the way he was treated was really good.
Other people were very polite to him because they knew who he was. There was nothing wrong with him except his work ethic.
After listening to this, Mother Su sighed. “This is still because of your dead father. Back then he thought it wasn’t bad that Jianyun was a soldier and allowed your sister to marry him. Even though he is gone, he went in peace.”
Mother Su was looking through families for her daughter to marry and wanted to have her daughter marry into a good family. However, she also wanted money to treat her husband.
But that old man really loved his daughter with all his heart, so he wanted the marriage to happen.
Speaking of that, the old man didn’t know that she actually asked for a big dowry until later. After watching their daughter marry off, he swallowed his anger.
