Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 28: The Solution to the Problem

“What do you mean this is an adult’s business and I should just listen? I'm already an adult!” Ji Yunyun immediately retaliated.

“Since you’re an adult, why are you impolite and call your third sister-in-law by her name? Who taught you that?” Feng Fangfang sneered. ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ??x??????.???

“You say you’re an adult, but when you came back you ate so much good food from third sister-in-law. I don't think you have ever given your third sister-in-law a good face. Do you really think you’re an adult? The adults are talking about business, so stay on the side!” Ji Mudan did not buy into Ji Yunyun's words. She was just a silly girl. Did she think she was a gold phoenix for studying high school?

In the future, they certainly would not receive any benefits as relatives, so why should they be polite?

It was at this time that Su Danhong really saw the strength of these two sister-in-laws in regards to money. So, she tried her best to study how they used that strength.

Ji Yunyun was so angry that she fiercely glared at Su Danhong. It's this woman who started it!

Su Danhong met her eyes. Oh, is this pinching the soft persimmon1? She does not dare to attack eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, but dares to come after me?

Just as she was about to join in, Ji Jianyun looked at Ji Yunyun and she heard him quietly ask, “Ji Yunyun, who are you staring at?”

“Third brother, you’re just helping her bully me!” After Ji Yunyun said this, she ran back to her room in frustration.

Ji Jianyun frowned. Now he understood why his wife was so determined to have nothing to do with this sister.

His wife didn't say or do anything in front of him, but Ji Yunyun still took aim at his wife!

“What’s wrong with the land behind the mountain?” Su Danhong looked at Father Ji and Mother Ji’s silent faces and asked.

“Don't worry about it, Danhong. It's poor land, and it’s terrible!” Feng Fangfang said at once when she saw that the wind was blowing in her favor.

Su Danhong looked at Ji Jianyun. She had only entered the family for about two years and didn’t know much about the land yet.

Ji Jianyun hesitated for a moment and then told her everything about the land at the back of the mountain. This land at the back of the mountain was actually a general way of saying it. In fact, the whole back mountain was bought by Father Ji and the village in the past. Wasn't it the start of the household responsibility system2 back then?

Father Ji did not know that there was something wrong with the mountain, but he got the contract for it after seeing that it was cheap. He thought that he would work hard on it little by little. He planted fruit trees and watered them every day, but in the end, he realized that the land was too poor to grow anything at all.

Father Ji’s contract for it was 70 years. It was very cheap since he only spent 100 yuan on it.

Without a doubt, 100 yuan at that time was an astronomical amount!

The contract document was quickly approved and stamped with the country’s seal. Thus, the back of the mountain belonged to the Lao Ji family.

In the first few years, Father Ji and Mother Ji went up the mountain every day and planted a lot of fruit trees.

However, it could be said that they lost everything they invested.

Many people in the village mocked the Lao Ji family over the fact that they spent so much money for the contract of this mountain. In the past year or two, the top of the mountain was basically barren, and Father Ji and Mother Ji did not want to toss it out.

Su Danhong frowned a little. What a waste. If I can plant fruit trees and water it with the spiritual spring water, will it live?

“Now that there is only the top of the mountain left, and your father and I don't have any money. You three can split it up if you want. This is the last thing we have,” Mother Ji spoke with a blank face.

In her mind, she was too worried to say much. She didn't expect there to be a fuss on the first day of the New Year. If outsiders knew about it, then wouldn’t they be laughed at?

“What’s the use of that piece of land?” Feng Fangfang angrily retorted.

“That’s right! It’s better to just give us the money. Younger brother-in-law's family got 500 yuan. I don't want that much, I just want 200!” Ji Peony said.

“Yes, I don't want more than that. I just want 200!” Feng Fangfang said immediately.

Father Ji smoked his cigarette and did not speak, and Mother Ji was also silent.

If they wanted money, then Father Ji and Mother JI really didn’t have any right now. They gave all of it to Lao Si to buy the home.

Ji Jianwen saw that his parents were being pressured. He looked upset and wanted to say something, but he was tugged by Yun Lili and she gave him a fierce glare.

They took all the money, but don't think she would be willing to spit it out. Of course she knew what Ji Jianwen was up to, but they better not think about selling her home!

Now that the price of homes were rising so fast, their 80 square meter apartment could not be bought at the same price as before!

And without it, where would she live? Rent a place? That's impossible!

While Father Ji, Mother Ji, Ji Jianguo, Ji Jianwen, Feng Fangfang, Ji Mudan, and Yun Lili, were silent, a voice came forward. “How about this? If you give me the mountain, then I'll give eldest sister-in-law and second eldest-in-law 200 yuan each. Then this matter will be over, right? The name on the contracted land naturally has to be changed to Jianyun.”

As soon as Su Danhong said this, everyone looked at her.

Ji Jianyun was also surprised and questioned, “Danhong, do we have that much money?”

He knew how much money he sent back every month and how much his wife spent based on the amount of meat in the house and those beautiful curtains, quilts, and so on that were all new. He knew that it must have cost a lot of money, even if he didn't ask.

It would be nice if there was 200 yuan left at home.

“Third brother-in-law, you don't know this, but Danhong can embroider. A piece of embroidery can sell for about 100 yuan, which is more than what we have saved all our lives. Danhong must have enough.” Feng Fangfang looked at Su Danhong and told her, “However, I, as your sister-in-law, is also reminding you that if you take out this money, then you can't go back on it.”

Ji Peony didn't say anything, but that's what she was also thinking.

“So do you agree to my request?” Su Danhong asked. She looked at Father Ji. “Father, do you agree, too?”

“The back mountain is indeed very poor…” Father Ji wrinkled his eyebrows and muttered.

“It’s all right. I'll give them the money, and everyone will have a good New Year. But today’s matter needs to be done today. When I give them the money, father, you have to take Jianyun to sign the contract. If there’s any chance that I fix the back of the mountain, it will belong to me and Jianyun, and it is not under father’s name. What's that word called? Yes, legally, it will be ours and no one else's!” Su Danhong looked at the three men and asked, “Do you have a problem with this eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and fourth brother-in-law?”

“I don't have a problem with that!”

“I don't have a problem with that either!”

“No problem!”

All three men nodded, and Su Danhong asked Ji Jianyun to wait here. She went straight back with 400 yuan.

Su Danhong happily gave 200 yuan each to Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan, and said to Ji Jianyun, “Okay, Jianyun, just go with father and change the name on the contract. Oh, that’s right, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and fourth brother-in-law, you have to go along to be witnesses!”

She was trying to cut out all possible problems that would lead to a falling out. Aside from being serious over this matter right now, she didn't want to leave any room for trouble in the future.

If the father and sons went together, then there would be no problems!

“You don't have to go, do you?” Mother Ji asked.

“Go! We’re all going together and this matter will be over from now on!” Father Ji said in a straightforward manner.

Father Ji gave the order, so the five of them went to the village to find the village committee member.
