Chapter 188: Offer an Incense for the Relative
Jianyun has a lot of debt, but he makes a lot of money quickly. Last time he sold fish, and this time he made a lot selling mutton, right? Aunt Li asked.
When the old fish were caught from the reservoir, they left two for her family. It was not a lot, just two.
How can he make much from that? Its not enough for him to buy a boat. He still needs to pay for it next year, and he has to go to my second brother to see if he can borrow some money, Su Danhong explained. The reservoir is a big pit. If we keep at it, we will have to rebuild it. I think it will cost thousands of yuan to do that.
You have to spend thousands of more yuan? Aunt Li asked and was taken back.
Whats the matter, aunt? You dont know what the reservoir is like. Before Jianyun contracted it, we didnt have to worry. But now its in Jianyuns hands, so of course he has to repair it. It takes money to hire people, and money to buy cement, stone and other materials. To tell you the truth, I dont agree with contracting the reservoir, but I cant stand him being restless. Now hes ruining our familys finances, and I cant do anything about it. Why else would I be doing this bit of work to earn some money? Su Danhong complained.
Ji Jianyun quietly listened to his wifes shoot off. He didnt realize that his wife could complain this much!
Aunt Li fell for it. I actually think the same. Jianyun has so many things to do. There are thirty acres of land at the foot of the mountain, two orchards. Then there are the chicken farms, pigs and sheep in the orchard. Also, theres the department store in the town that Jianyun also owns a part of. Besides that, there is a shop in the college town. There are so many things, so the reservoir is not necessary.
See, I told him, but he didnt take my words seriously. He just said that I should just be a good mother and raise the children at home. I shouldnt worry about the things outside. Su Danhong sighed.
Oh, Jianyun, you cant be like this. Dont bully Danhong if she is a good person, Aunt Li said.
What can I do? I didnt have money so I was worried for a while, Ji Jianyun said to follow his wifes pretending.
Arent you relieved now? Aunt Li questioned.
We ordered two ships, but we have only given them a general deposit. There is still half of it to pay for, Ji Jianyun said, Theres also the new fish that we have a balance to pay.
So its like that. Aunt Lis face became more stiff and asked, Is there still money to pay the workers?
One worker was 30 yuan, and there were eight workers in the two orchards. The monthly cost was 240 yuan.
We were going to be behind in a month or two, but luckily, the sheeps were sold in time, and the pigs were about to be sold. We shouldnt be behind anymore, but things are getting too expensive. I cant manage the reservoir by myself, Ji Jianyun began to get to the main point.
Su Danhong wasnt the only one that knew what Aunt Li wanted to do, Ji Jianyun also knew.
Ji Jianhe was still farming for food in the field. Why else would Aunt Li visit? There was nothing else except finding a permanent job for Ji Jianhe.
If Ji Jianhe was trustworthy, then Ji Jianyun would have him work for him. They were cousins from the same paternal line.
Its just that Ji Jianhe did not work, and he was not reliable enough. Ji Jianyun wasnt sure that guarding the reservoir could be left to him.
So the topic Aunt Li was going to bring up was impossible.
Are you going to manage the reservoir by yourself? Aunt Li thought about it and asked immediately. *:. ?????? ???? ?? ?????????.??? .:*
Yes, I was going to ask some people from Dawa Village on the other side of the reservoir. Dawa Village is the closest village to the reservoir. The ones I was going to ask dont have families to take care of, they can live in the reservoir without going home, Ji Jianyun said.
A young man would have to take care of his family. Ji Jianyun also had other plans for the reservoir. When he contracted the reservoir, it included the mountainous areas around the reservoir. That area was empty. He was going to plant some fruit trees there. When it happens, he would need people to manage it, and water and fertilize the trees. The mountains were also suitable for raising sheeps. He was not going to build another chicken farm, but he wanted to raise more sheep, which must be guarded all the time. How could a young man do that kind of work?
Jianyun, how can you ask an old man? You should ask a young man to do this, right? Aunt Li asked at once.
Its better to ask someone from Dawa Village. Its close by and they would be cautious. I havent asked yet, I cant afford to pay anyone, Ji Jianyun clarified.
Aunt Li also understood and said, Jianyun, Jianhe is your cousin from the same grandfather. You cant let him do nothing, can you? Youve helped out Danhongs older brother. There is no reason not to take care of Jianhe.
Aunt, youre saying my older brother used to be lazy, but he has learned his lesson. Otherwise, would Jianyun let him work there? Su Danhong said directly.
Jianhe is not lazy, either, Aunt Li defended.
Jianhe will be fine. If I contract an orchard again in the future, I will give him a spot. As for the reservoir, its really not suitable for him. Ji Jianyun still had to give him respect since he was a relative.
Aunt Li had a smile on her face and said, You have two orchards now, do you want more?
The village has two mountains available to contract. I havent done it yet, but we cant let it go. Previously, I contracted my uncles mountain first because we are relatives. Otherwise, I would have chosen from the other two, Ji Jianyun said indifferently.
Dont you know how hard our family watered the orchard before? How else would it be successful in your hands now? Aunt Li remarked without any hesitation. She wanted to give the credit to her family, she felt that her family did the hard work.
The other families dont just work hard, they work harder than your family, aunt. How do you think they managed what they could? Ji Jianyun said bluntly.
How could Ji Jianyun not know that Aunt Li had always been angry about his second orchard when he was hiring people? He just never took it to heart.
Aunt Li said nothing.
If aunt has a good idea, you can go and discuss it with the other two families. You can see if they want you to take over their orchards and you can make it successful yourself. If you do, I will give you back the orchard that I bought from you with both hands, without charging even one yuan, Su Danhong looked at her and said with a smile.
This was obviously slapping Aunt Li in the face.
Aunt Li looked upset, but when she thought of her second sons job spot, she said, I dont have that much money for that. Anyways, there are things I need to do at home. I will go back first.
After that, she went home unhappily.
However, Su Danhong did not care at all, and nor did Ji Jianyun. If it wasnt for the fact they were relatives, Aunt Li wouldnt even be able to enter his house.
