Chapter 187: Sometimes Crying About One’s Own Hardship
After the orchard was transferred, Aunt LIs anger never went away.
Ji Jianhe, the second son, said, Father, I think you should not work so hard anymore. Ji Jianyun asked you to supervise the work. But look at how much work youve done now.
Ji Jianhe wanted some mutton from Ji Jianyun, but Ji Jianyun didnt bring him any. He thought with the way his family was like, he could try a bit of it.
But nothing, he really got nothing!
Uncle Ji was not polite to his second son. He immediately criticized, If you try to talk anymore nonsense, you can separate from the family. Your eldest brother has already separated. Now that you are married, you can also separate!
Father, please calm down and dont lower yourself to Jianhes level. Ji Jianhes wife heard this as soon as she came out. She knew exactly how her husband conducted himself. If they separated, they would starve to death. She quickly apologized with a smile.
I think we can consider the separation, that way he wont have any time to gossip with his mother! Uncle Ji said coldly. *:. ?????? ???? ?? ?????????.??? .:*
Father, I only have that bit of land. If we separate, what would my family eat? Ji Jianhe cried out. Eldest brother has a job as a long-term worker over there, and I have nothing here!
His eldest brother, Ji Jianchuan, made 30 yuan a month.To say he was not jealous would be impossible.
His wife also nagged every day and wanted him to get a job there.
But what could he do? Ji Jianyun didnt like him. He didnt care about him.
If you can be like your elder brother, Jianyun would not refuse to take care of you. Look at how you behave, the leftovers after you eat, the work you wont do, what use does Jianyun have for you? There are no idle people in the orchard! Uncle Ji lectured.
Father, what you said is wrong. Why dont you say that his brother-in-law, Su Jinjun? His reputation is worse than mine, but he still gets to work? He can earn thirty yuan a month! Ji Jianhe refused.
Others were fine, but Su Jinjun was on the same level as him. But he was able to get a position as a long term worker. Why couldnt he have it? Ji Jianyun was his cousin!
Jianhe is right. Jianyun just doesnt take our family seriously. Why doesnt he think about us? He came over to our house several times to eat when he was young! Aunt Li snorted coldly.
Thats enough. That was in the past. You gave Jianyun something to eat, but it was some congee, Uncle Ji said with annoyance.
But didnt he eat it? Without my bit of congee, Jianyun might not be able to grow like this. Every drop of water from the congee should be repaid by the spring. He even became a soldier, and he has no sense of a soldiers duty! Aunt Li shouted. What Jianhe said is right! What good is Su Jinjun? Who doesnt know about him in the eight villages ten miles away? If Ji Jianyun can take care of Jianhe, why not Jianhe?
Dont talk about who he should take care of or not. You dont need to worry about Su Jinjun. I have seen that he is not lazy, and Jianyun is not willing to let him be lazy, Uncle Ji said. He looked at his wife again, and continued, We have only a few strong men in our family, and Jianyun has already given us two positions. What do you want? Do you want him to give you both orchards for free? Will you be happy then?
Thats what you said, I didnt say that! Aunt Li screamed angrily.
All right, lets not talk about this again. I already give you all the money I earn. As for the mutton, its Jianyuns meat. He can split it however he wants. Its none of your business, Uncle Ji simply wanted to end the conversation. He went to eat after he spoke.
Aunt Li came over and asked, Doesnt Jianyuns reservoir still need a manager? What about Jianhe? He is good at swimming and he is strong.
I have to ask Jianyun about that. Uncle Ji didnt agree with it at all. He knew exactly what his second son was like. He was not thoughtful enough or stable enough. The job of guarding the reservoir was not suitable for him.

However, he didnt say it so that his wife wouldnt make trouble.
Then ask Jianyun, Aunt Li said.
I wont ask, but you can ask yourself, Uncle Ji refused directly.
Aunt Li declared, Then I will ask myself!
Mother, dont worry. If Jianhe gets a permanent job in the future, then both Jianhe and I will be filial to you! Ji Jianhes wife smiled at her after coming out.
I dont know if there are any spots yet, Aunt Li said.
Mother, if you personally go, how can the third uncle refuse? Ji Jianhes wife asked.
She followed the way her child called him, so she called him uncle. Ji Jianyun was ranked third, so third uncle was right.
Aunt Li was flattered by her second daughter-in-law and went over to Ji Jianyuns side.
Ji Jianyun just came out to water the plants. He saw her and greeted, Aunt is here.
Jianyun, have you eaten yet? Aunt Li asked naturally, as if she hadnt spoken ill of him.
Yes, come inside, aunt, Ji Jianyun said.
Aunt Li came in. In the room, Su Danhong was doing embroidery.
Recently, because Ji Jianyun was more free, Su Danhong left him to take care of the baby. She had started to set up the embroidery frame again. She couldnt leave this craft behind.
Aunt, Su Danhong called out when she saw her coming. Jianyun, pour her a cup of red dates and wolfberry tea. She didnt get up and continued to sit and embroider.
Aunt Li had come to see her embroidery before. She heard that one piece could sell for hundreds. She was very jealous of it. But she tried it for a while, she couldnt sit still any longer. She just couldnt do it.
When Aunt Li saw her embroidering, she went over to see. Su Danhong was embroidering an auspicious phoenix pattern, and right now the embroidered phoenix tail was so realistic. Aunt Li was very jealous.
She even forgot her aim for coming here and said, Danhong, your work is incredible.
Its just something to do to make some extra money. Su Danhong smiled politely.
Once its done, it will sell for a lot of money, right? Aunt Li asked.
The market is not good now. Before, a piece could sell for 100 yuan, but now it is only 50 or 60 yuan, Su Danhong said.
50 or 60 is quite a lot, Aunt Li said after hearing that. How long did it take people to save up to that number? She said, I heard you can embroider two pieces in a month, which means 100 yuan a month.
That was before I had children. I cant sit for too long after having them. Its impossible for me to embroider a piece in a month. Look at these stitches, it took a long time to do. If it wasnt for Jianyun still needing more than 2,000 yuan, I wouldnt be doing this hard work for money, Su Danhong said.
