Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 173: 70 Years

Su Danhong naturally had no objections to Ji Jianyuns plans.

Her only requirement was that he should not overwork himself. She supported him in everything except this.

He wanted to make their familys lives better, so why would she object?

They had a lot of property within their family. Even though they still had to employ others to do the work, there was no need to worry about them. Also, it was easy for Ji Jianyun to set up a farm again.

After receiving her pay, Ji Yunyun complained to her mother about it on the mountain. I came home from so far away and she only gave me so little. Its only a few yuan. How is that enough for the work I do?

Mother Ji asked, How much did your third sister-in-law give you?

Just five yuan! Is she trying to make me a beggar! Ji Yunyun stated indignantly.

Mother Ji pinched her on the arm.

Ji Yunyun didnt expect her mother to suddenly act like that. She cried out in pain and screamed, Mother! What are you doing? Dont you know that hurts?!

If it doesnt hurt, then you wont remember it! Mother Ji scolded. If I knew you were going to act like a disgrace, then I wouldnt have let you come back. The whole village has been watching you. You dared to not work when its for me. Who do you think you are?

What do you mean? How did I not work? Didnt I supervise them? This is my third brothers orchard, and Im the co-owner of the orchard! Ji Yunyun retorted.

I told you, Yunyun, this orchard belongs to your third brother and third sister-in-law. It has nothing to do with you. Even I would not dare say that I own a part of this orchard. Why are you acting so haughty? Mother Ji expressed.

Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth and yelled, Mother, when did you start siding with them instead of me? Third brother is my biological brother, so why dont I have any part in his orchard?

I think youre being so dumb that you cant read the situation. Dont say that you own a part of your third brothers orchard. Also, what I own with your father is what I will leave for my sons and my grandsons. To be honest, none of this will have to do with you when you marry away, Mother Ji said lightly.

Mother Ji was so disappointed in this daughter.

Because she had four sons before she had a daughter, she and her husband spoiled her. However, she didnt expect her to behave like this.

This fruit season, she called them and said that she would come back to help out. When Mother Ji heard this, she was happy and thought that her daughter had grown up. Thus, she told Danhong about it. Danhong didnt ask to discuss it, and just agreed to it.

But after her daughter came back, what work did she do?

She slept until nearly noon every day. After going up the mountain, she would just eat fruit. Whether it was a good fruit or an expensive one, she would eat it. She also chose the good ones that were easy to sell.

Mother Ji never mentioned this, but what about how Ji Yunyun said she was going to come back and work. What work had she done?

Everyone was busy. She was the only one holding a blank book and pretending to read it. Mother Ji knew what her daughter was like, but she had not gotten upset about it yet.

Whats more, Su Danhong also sent stuff she had bought up the mountain to Mother Ji, which made Ji Yunyun eat a lot. Since she had come back, how much had she grown?

Even if Ji Yunyun was no longer a child, she should understand how to get along with someone. However, she continued to dislike this and that about her sister-in-law. How is five yuan for wages too little?

Mother Ji knew that the five yuan was actually given by Danhong out of respect for her and her husband. Otherwise, there was no reason to give five yuan. Once her daughter received the five yuan, Su Danhong would never be able to get back!

Ji Yunyun looked at her mother with an unconvinced expression. She asked, Mother, am I not your own child? Why dont you treat me like I am? Is this how you really feel?

Mother Ji almost did not get angry with her. She did not want to talk nonsense with her and instead, asked, When are you going back to school?

Mother, are you trying to drive me away? Ji Yunyun asked in shock.

Its better if you dont stay at home. Go and find yourself a job. Your father and I dont expect you to send money back to be filial. Just take care of yourself. Mother Ji said.

You want me to go? Fine, I will! Ji Yunyun said angrily.

After that, she went to pack up her things. In the past three months, she was paid several times for part-time work. She didnt have to pay for food and accommodation while living at home, so she was able to keep all the money. This included that time Danhong paid twice. It happened because she didnt have much money, so Mother Ji gave her wages to Ji Yunyun.

Ji Yunyun also received a lot of money from Father Ji. She was the youngest daughter. When Father Ji didnt spend the money, he gave it to her.

So these days, Ji Yunyun has quite a sum of money. When she said she would leave, she was confident about it.

After packing up her things, she left in frustration.

As for Mother Ji, she did not care. Unexpectedly, Father Ji asked a few questions, and Mother Ji said, Youre spoiling her, dont worry about her. Shes an adult now, so why should we baby her?

Aunt doesnt work, Yaner frowned and stated.

Mother Ji was angry at first, but when she saw how serious her granddaughter was, she smiled and said, Yaner, dont be like your aunt. Laziness is not a good habit.

Okay! Grandma, dont worry, I will work hard! Yaner nodded.

Mother Ji brought her along to collect eggs. As for her daughter, she was going to let her go.

Su Danhong didnt know about how Ji Yunyun left in frustration until she heard it from Ji Jianyun that evening. She asked, Why did she argue with mother?

I dont know, Mother didnt say, but lets not worry about it. Its really not acting responsibly for someone who is an adult now, Ji Jianyun said.

Ji Jianyun checked the money he had at home. He was going to buy land tomorrow.

After checking, he still did not have enough.

It was not enough to buy the land he wanted. ** x. **

Su Danhong said, Its too much for you to buy so much land at once. Just go and contract it.

Things were not like her previous life. You could buy as much land as you wanted as long as you had money. The country fought against landlords years ago. So, if her Jianyun bought a lot of land, they would almost be considered landlords.

Although the reform and opening up has been carried out, it has only been a few years since it happened. If you buy land, who knows what will happen.

Then lets contract it first. Ji Jianyun nodded after listening to the suggestion. If they did contract, there would still be a lot of money left.

Ji Jianyun was quick and efficient. The next day, he went to the village director, who was sister Xus husband, to do this.

After hearing that Ji Jianyun wanted to contract the land, the village director reacted very positively. If he allowed it to happen, then he would get credit for it.

He asked how many years Ji Jianyun would contract it. It was very cheap to contract land, and the country was encouraging it.

In the future, the cost will definitely rise. So, Jianyun, if you have enough money, you can simply contract for a long time. Dont worry, I will choose some good land for you! the village director said.

How long do you suggest I contract for? Ji Jianyun asked.

Arent the mountains contracted for 70 years old? Why dont you contract some land for 70 years? the village director replied.

70 years Ji Jianyun hesitated a little. If it were 70 years, then he would basically spend all the money his family had. He wanted a lot of land.

Sister Xu came out and said with a smile, Jianyun, if you contract, you should contract for a longer time. With Danhong, you will be lucky with the land you contract.

Then I will listen to Sister Xus lucky words, Ji Jianyun smiled back and said. Lets do 70 years!
