Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 82: Third Brother’s Orchard Will Definitely Be Successful!

“Haha, that's because this kid has a big appetite. You don't know how much he drinks every meal. Just look at the milk in this bottle. He can finish half of it at one time,” Su Danhong smiled and said.

Xiao Renren had already lost interest in this stranger and continued to drink milk from his bottle.

After a while, he started pushing the bottle away.

Despite watching him, Yun Lili could only admit that the child was really smart. Once he had eaten enough, he knew that he didn't want anymore. How old was he to be able to do this?

Yun Lili switched topics to talk about celery. Her mother-in-law did say that it wasn’t just for her alone, but for Su Danhong’s family.

“There's not a lot of celery in the greenhouse. Mother sometimes comes over to pick some for a change of flavor in her food and that’s it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the greenhouse and have a look. Celery is not expensive, so there’s no reason for me to hide it.” Su Danhong smiled.

Yun Lili was slightly embarrassed, Su Danhong was becoming more and more impressive. She was becoming a person who said taunting remarks without an obscene word.

“It smells good, too,” Yun Lili said with a stiff smile.

”Yes, it is definitely delicious too since it was watered with my boy’s pee,” Su Danhong said and continued to smile.

Yun Lili didn't want to talk to her anymore. Wasn’t she trying to disgust her in a polite way? Was she going to let her eat the celery or not?

“Third Sister-in-law, did you know that housing prices have gone up in Jiangshui City?” Yun Lili changed the subject again.

Su Danhong nodded. “I heard. I was going to buy a place, but the money has been invested in the orchard. If I want to buy it later then I will. It won’t be impossible to buy it then.”

She blocked Yun Lili from showing off in a few words.

But Yun Lili was not a typical person. She declared, “If you don't buy it now, then it won't be easy to buy it later. The housing prices are rising so fast that a square meter is almost 40 yuan.”

Although her community was nice and had gone up in price, it had only increased by five or six yuan at most.

The places that had doubled were those key residential areas. It was where the real increases in prices were compared to her family’s apartment increases.

For her 80 square meter place, that increase was almost 400 to 500 yuan when calculated. It was about the same as the combined salary of her and her husband in a year.

How could Su Danhong not know this?

She had firsthand news from sister Hong. The apartments in the community she had gone to buy at with sister Hong had almost doubled. However, it was impossible to say exactly how much it had risen since places in the key residential areas had a dramatic increase.

As for other places, it had gone up by five or six yuan at most. Overall, the prices had really gone up, with an average increase of almost two or three yuan per square meter. This was what sister Hong’s relative working in real estate told her.

Once the price of an apartment of 100 square meters went up, it would be two to three hundred higher.

Two or three hundred yuan was almost equivalent to a normal person's wages for a year if they didn’t eat.

“Speaking of which, it was good timing when my family really bought our place. Otherwise, I don't know when I can buy it for so cheap with how things are now,” Yun Lili said with a grin.

She and her husband had a steady income. Although they usually spent a lot of money, they had to budget for it. Her salary was about 20 yuan a month, but miscellaneous things could add up to almost 23 or 24 yuan. It was pretty much the same for Ji Jianwen.

She had already planned things out. She was going to leave her daughter at her mother-in-law's house this year and let her mother-in-law look after her for a year or two. She could save on childcare fees. She planned on saving that money to pay off the mortgage in three years.

However, she was not going to say this plan out loud. There was no need to tell her sisters-in-law. She was just going to tell her mother-in-law when the time came. It shouldn’t be a problem for the Lao Ji family to help out when it was for their granddaughter.

“It’s really great that you could buy the apartment. It will be easier for you two in the future since everything in Jiangshui City costs money, unlike how our hometown only has land,” Su Danhong said. “Have you seen our orchard?”

“My little girl has been very clingy. I didn’t want to take her out when it’s so cold. I did hear Jianwen talk about it, and he said it was wonderful,” Yun Lili said with a chuckle.

“We don't know if it will develop well,” Su Danhong remarked modestly. “If it does, then you won't have to spend money on fruits you want to eat in the future.”

”Then that will be appreciated. I'll be waiting,” Yun Lili replied.

Su Danhong said no problem and thought, you really dare to treat my orchard as your own? Hell will freeze first.

They kept on being polite to each other. When it was almost time to go, Yun Lili went out and opened up the washing machine to take all the clothes back.

She didn't dare to leave by herself. Ji Jianyun went out to see her off. Even so, Da Hei stared at her the entire time.

After returning to the Lao Ji family’s place, Mother Ji asked, “What took you so long?”

“I was chatting with third sister-in-law for a while,” Yun Lili answered. She still had some lingering fear and asked, “Mother, when did third brother-in-law raise such a big black dog? It looks scary. What kind of breed is that? Did third brother-in-law bring it back from the army?”

“How can you bring back dogs from the army? Danhong raised the dog by herself. You don't know how well she feeds him, so it's not a surprise that it grew so well. There are three other dogs on the mountain. All of them are so big and fierce, but are also very smart. As long as you don't have any bad intentions, they usually won't touch you,” Mother Ji explained.

The dogs in Lao San’s family were better off than other dogs. They ate two meals every day, which was usually stewed meat. She used to feel stressed out when she saw their food.

She brought it up several times, but Lao San and Danhong didn't seem concerned.

But now she was over it, because these dogs were really good dogs. Each of them were very fierce. With how big Lao San’s orchard was, it only made sense that there should be that many dogs!

In fact, she thought having four dogs was not enough.

A dog had to protect the family after all. Xiao Renren was still young and Jianyun couldn’t be at home all the time. Danhong should not have to support everything alone.

Three dogs on the mountain is a lot, but the orchard is also very big…

However, Mother Ji shook her head and dropped that idea. Four dogs already ate so much food, so how would they be able to raise more?

Yun Lili curled her lips and questioned, “Mother, can third brother-in-law’s orchard really be successful?”

“We don't know yet, we won't know until next year,” Mother Ji said without exaggerating.

At this moment, Ji Jianwen came in from outside. When he heard this, he smiled and said, “Mother, don't worry, third brother’s orchard is going to be huge! He will certainly be able to get it to be successful next year!”

When she saw her son, Mother Ji chuckled and asked, “Are you cold? Mother will go get you a glass of warm water.”

On the side, Yun Lili immediately rolled her eyes. This was how their relationship as mother and son was, and she did not receive this kind of treatment.

However, Yun Lili was not stupid, and what Ji Jianwen said also piqued her interest. She asked, “Jianwen, are all the saplings growing that well on the mountain?”
