Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 123: Throwing Tantrums

Chapter 123: Throwing Tantrums

In a blink of an eye, it was the middle of December. The snow this year was heavier than in previous years. The town was very busy and people were traveling a lot because it was close to the New Year. During this year in particular, the economy had developed rapidly, and everyone had more money in their pockets. The New Year celebration was better because everyone was willing to buy things.

Su Danhong was eating an apple that day. She fed Xiao Renren a little piece to give him a taste. The little boy was very happy about it.

However, lately, he felt strange because his sister had not been coming over. He needed to find his sister every day when he got up. He would throw a tantrum if he was not coaxed by something.

Yan'er spent several days with her parents. Although she was young, she also knew that they were her true parents. She still wanted to run over to Su Danhongs side, but she eventually stopped throwing tantrums.

That day, Ji Jianyun came back from a trip and brought back two boxes of apples.

Su Danhong left one box to eat for herself and let him share the other box.

Father Ji on the mountain was given several apples, Mother Ji received ten, and the rest went to Mother Su.

Ji Yunyun was eating a big apple and said, My third brother is getting more and more stingy now. Look at him. He drove such a big truck and didn't even ask me to come along.

She was an adult, but she had never sat in a vehicle like that.

She was lucky enough to ride a tractor when she was young.

Now that her third brother has bought a truck, she can't even sit in it. She could only stare at it. It only made her angry when she thought about it.

It was obvious he was now different from third brother in the past. Third brother used to dote on her a lot. But ever since he got married, he had not given her any money. He gave her nothing. Even this apple was brought over by her mother for Yan'er to eat. He didn't think about her at all!

After eating an apple, Ji Yunyun took another one with her. Yun Lili was unhappy with her. This was what her daughter wanted to eat and her daughter ate one every day. How could Yunyun be a sister-in-law and not act like an adult? How did she not know how to give up the apples for her niece?

Yun Lili said, Yan'er has so much good food now. She has to have one apple a day. Theres not that many apples brought over. It seems like you should ask your third brother to buy some more!

This sentence, of course, was blaming Ji Yunyun.

But Ji Yunyun didn't understand, and complained, Look, this is that woman's scheme. She is deliberately spoiling Yan'er. Isn't she troublesome for fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law?

Yun Lili was bitter about these words.

What does she mean by that? My daughter is spoiled after eating an apple? What about Ji Yunyun? What is Ji Yunyun doing? No wonder mother-in-law is taking strong measures to force her to do housework. She really doesn't know anything!

It's just an apple. Although your fourth brother and I didn't make a lot of money, we can still meet Yan'er's needs! Yun Lili said indifferently.

Even though she was usually on the same side as Ji Yunyun, if it went against her interests, she could choose not to be on that side at any time. She didnt need to get along with Ji Yunyun at all!

Ji Yunyun rushed to say, Fourth sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. She also felt that what she had just said belittled her fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law.

Go out and help your mother. I'll go after I feed Yan'er, Yun Lili instructed.

Ji Yunyun nodded and left eating the apple. Yun Lili then continued to feed her daughter. Seeing that her daughter was very happy with her food, she smiled and asked, Does Yan'er like apples?

Yan'er ate the apple her mother gave her and nodded. I like apples.

Yun Lili was also happy to see her daughter eating. Although she did not have a good impression of third brother-in-laws family, her daughter was not treated poorly. Moreover, with third brother-in-laws family conditions, third sister-in-law probably did not think too much about buying apples.

She could not complain. It was her daughter who ended up benefiting from it and that was enough.

After feeding her daughter an apple, Yun Lili saw that there were only five left, and she put them away. This time, third brother-in-law brought a lot of apples, but there were not that many left. She calculated how many Mother Ji gave them against how many her daughter ate, and it meant that Ji Yunyun ate a lot!

She was going to leave the rest for Yan'er to eat. .

Apples were not very expensive, but they did not sell such big apples around where they lived. It definitely costs a lot of money to buy it from other places. She and Jianwen still owed a lot of money, so they needed to save where they could.

Because they wanted to save money, the couple came back empty handed this year.

Su Danhong didnt have any opinions about this. In any case, they didnt stay very long.

While she didnt mind, Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan did.

Feng Fangfang, in particular, brought over about 50 jin of rice this year. Ji Mudan was going to bring about ten or twenty jin of rice flour, and she didnt care about other complaints since she still brought something.

As for Su Danhong, it went without saying that no one could complain about her. For almost this entire year, their parents ate with her family.

As for Yun Lili, Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan were not happy with her. Werent they all sons and daughters-in-law? How could they come back and depend on the old couple when they were adults?!

So that day, Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan came over. On the outside, they came to share some omelets, but they actually came to make trouble.

Yun Lili also thought of herself as a teacher of the country. She was virtuous at heart and did not bother with ordinary people. Therefore, no matter how unhappy they were with her, she would not take it seriously.

But Ji Jianwen was extremely embarrassed by his two older sisters-in-law.

Oh, Jianwen, I'm not just saying this as your sister-in-law, but its so unreasonable of you. Your wage hasnt decreased this entire year, and you also opened a cram school this summer. Your parents are being supported by your three brothers and sisters-in-law, but you are also one of their sons. Cant you do your part?

But really, you are all their sons. Your brother's filial piety is his own business. You can't always think that your parents don't have to worry about food at home. To think you didnt even bring a cent home! Ji Mudan chimed in.

On this point, she was willing to side with Feng Fangfang. .

What eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law said is right. I was negligent. I didn't think too much about these things. I just wanted to finish paying the mortgage first, and then move my parents to live in Jiangshui City, Ji Jianwen explained at once.

Its great that you want to take your parents to live in Jiangshui City, but it's so far away. They won't be used to it. If you have some money, then its better to mail some money back to them, Feng Fangfang persuaded.

Ji Mudan said nothing.

She was bitter and thought, take them to live in Jiangshui City?

Who wouldn't say such empty words? Theres no one in the family who hasnt if you ask. Also, father and mother have been doing farm work all their lives. They can't adapt to the city at all. Now they eat and drink well with third brother-in-law's family. Why would they want to go to Jiangshui City with you?!

When it came to these things, especially when she saw her youngest son scolded by his two sisters-in-law, Mother Ji could not be silent. She reasoned, This year, I ate really well with Lao Sans family. All the families had difficulties. Otherwise, I wouldnt be able to live on 50 jin of rice and 20 jin of rice flour. It just so happens that there are no spare ribs at home. You can go and buy some tomorrow, Jianwen.

This remark was also about Feng Fangfang and Ji Mudan.

They shouldnt criticize someone just because they brought a bit of stuff over. The old couple couldnt live on their food. None of them were like Lao Sans family when it came to food. They shouldnt be the ones to complain about others.

However, Lao Sis family came back empty handed for the New Year last year, and this year they came back empty handed again. This was something that really made it easy for people to talk about. Although everyone understood that they had a mortgage to pay, they should still give what they could.

Mother, I'll buy it tomorrow! Ji Jianwen immediately said.
