Chapter 183: Biased Mother Su
Theres more to say about Mother Su.
When she went to her son-in-laws house, she was welcomed by the whole family.
Because she came, Ji Jianyun also ran to grab the net in order to catch two fresh fish for her to eat.
Mother Su was supposed to return on the same day. She didnt even bring the clothes to change into. Yet, Ji Jianyun drove back directly to get them, and asked eldest Su sister-in-law to pack up some of Mother Sus clothes. It was clear that he wanted his mother-in-law to stay for a few days.
Su Danhong was happy with this guys performance.
You cant take it for granted. You have to think of each other. Dont take Jianyuns kindness for granted, you hear me? Mother Su, who always sided with her son-in-law, began to preach to her daughter.
Su Danhong expressed how she was in the wrong, Mother, why would I do that? Dont you see how I take care of him and my family?
When she got up every day, not only did she clean up after the two boys, she also prepared the meals for her family and cleaned the house. Wasnt she doing a good job?
How does that count? You are married to Jianyun, how else can you be this lucky in life? Mother Su retorted after hearing her complaints.
In her eyes, she was like an immortal to be able to take care of the children at home every day. She didnt need to go out and work outside, and was not out in the sun and wind all day. Her life was very comfortable.
Speaking of this, she also had to praise her in-laws who she used to not see eye to eye with.
Before, she saw Mother Ji as very annoying, but now, she actually felt that she was a lot more agreeable and nice.
For example, during this fruit season, everyone in the orchard was very busy, but her daughter did not have to get involved. Even if she took the children to the orchard, it was only to help tidy things up once in a while. After that, she would clean up after her messy sons.
Mother Ji must believe that her daughter did not do much and it was a little embarrassing.
She would definitely not tell Mother Ji that her daughter was bad. What she did not like was not a good reason for her to make someone else not like it too. Mother Su would just say that Renren and Qiqi were cleaned up so well that they didnt look like disheveled bears from the countryside.
This was to help her daughter have a redeeming image. Her daughter was not lazy and did not not help with the work on the orchard, but she just took care of the children without any help.
To her surprise, Mother Ji took it well and said, Thats how it should be. Danhong works hard on Renren and Qiqi. She does a lot. She said that they should be educated to go to college in the future!
After saying this, she said to Mother Su, Daughter-in-laws mother, dont worry about my opinions about Danhong. I know what kind of personality Danhong has. She is not a lazy person. Society is different now, and the circumstances are better. Children naturally need to be taken care of more carefully. It has to be done by someone. If there isnt any work for Danhong to do, then just let her take care of Renren and Qiqi.
Her in-law mothers words were just too reasonable!
With Mother Jis opinions like this, Mother Su was willing to get closer to her in-laws.
But privately, Mother Su would still lecture her daughter.
Circumstances are better now, better than my past when you cant even find sweet potato skin when you want to eat sweet potatoes. How can it compare to how you live your life now? Mother Su said to her daughter.
Su Danhong smiled and said, Mother, stay here for a few days. I will show you what a good life is like.
Mother Su glared at her with annoyance.
Ji Jianyun was very filial to his mother-in-law. In the evening, he took her to the neighboring mountain.
Mother Su knew that the neighboring mountain was her son-in-laws now. She had visited the first mountain, but it was her first time at the second mountain.
She looked around and asked, How many cherry trees are planted on the mountain?
Nearly half of the mountains were planted with cherry trees. It was a lot.
Cherries are easier to sell. Its fine growing more of them, Ji Jianyun said.
Thats true. Mother Su nodded.
The cherries grown by her son-in-law are very sweet. Even though she liked meat more than fruits, she liked the cherries from her son-in-laws family very much.
Every season when the cherries were ripe, her son-in-law would carry a bag of the first ripe cherries to her, and have her enjoy it.
After seeing the cherry tree, she went to see the pig pen and chicken farm. The chicken farm was pretty much the same as the one in the first orchard.
As for the pig pen, Mother Su was really impressed.
These pigs have grown really well. Mother Su didnt really smell them. When she came in to see these fat pigs, she couldnt hide the joy on her face.
For a farmer, how could she be disgusted by this? Of course, she knew that the daughter she raised was squeamish. Before she came up the mountain, her daughter tried to stop her by saying that the smell was too strong and asked her to not go and look.
Where did it smell bad though? It smelled like money!
The pigs are fed several times a day. I want them to be ready for New Years, Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
If it goes on like this, it will be pretty much ready for New Years. Mother Su had raised pigs before, but she didnt take care of them this well.
There were four people working on the mountain, and the pig pen needed to be cleaned two or three times a day. It was actually really clean.
How is the reservoir going? Mother Su asked.
I plan on adding new fish to it after New Years, Ji Jianyun replied.
Well, before you put fish in there, you should clear the reservoir first. That way you prevent all the big fish from eating up the small fish, Mother Su said.
Yeah, I am already gathering people to do it. Ji Jianyun nodded.
Although people often went fishing in the reservoir, it was still necessary to clear the fish out. Otherwise, as his mother-in-law said, the big fish would eat up the small fish put in. If that happened, what would there be left?
Seeing that he knew, Mother Su said nothing else.
You have to teach me how to make salted eggs, Ji Jianyun said.
Theres not much to it. How about this evening? Mother Su said.
Okay. Ji Jianyun nodded.
After happily seeing the second orchard, Ji Jianyun went to work and Mother Su went down the mountain herself.
When she went back , Su Danhong said to her, I told you not to go and you didnt believe me. Are you happy now that youve smelled it?
Extremely happy. I think you should go and smell it. You will know how great of a life you are living when you come back, Mother Su said while washing her hands.
Su Danhong asked, Mother, are you sure I am your child?
You are for sure my child. You are just like your father. When I used to raise pigs, he always hated the smell. When the pigs are sold and the money has been counted, you will be smiling so hard that you cant see. You are just as unreasonable as your father, Mother Su said.
Su Danhong: Mother, why dont you say something like how Ive grown more beautiful from how Ive taken care of myself? And how I am more beautiful than when I was a little girl? *:. ?????? ???? ?? ?????????.??? .:*
Its a good thing that you married Jianyun, how else can you have time to dress up? Mother Su still had to say this. She left her daughter alone and went to her grandsons. She loved her two clean grandsons more than some of her other grandchildren.
