Chapter 203: Did You Think You Would Become a Respected Elder Once You’re Married?

Ji Jianchuan also smiled when he saw how his father was living. He did not see his father for two weeks, and it seemed like he had gained a little weight. He also knew that his father lived in the mountains, which was better than going home.

Ji Jianchuans wife was really filial, but she was afraid of living in poverty. Even if Ji Jianchuan made money now and had a stable salary every month, she was still relatively frugal.

His family only ate meat once a week, and the reason why he had eggs to eat every day was because his wife raised a few chickens herself. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any to eat eggs.

However, there was no one around it. In the blink of an eye, all the children in Ji Jianchuans family had grown. He got married early and his wife gave birth relatively early. After the third child was born, family planning had just started, so he managed to avoid a disaster.

But even if there were only three children, it was still a lot of pressure, especially when they were waiting to eat. His family had planted several acres of wheat that his wife took care of. The harvest was actually pretty good, but it was still not enough for all of them to eat, so they had to buy some from the villagers.

They had a few acres of wheat fields, as well as a small piece of land in the backyard to grow melons and vegetables. The four hens raised in the chicken coop were in the front yard. These were all the things his family owned.

Currently he was earning 35 yuan per month before any expenses. He could save 10 yuan a month after his oldest son started school.

Soon, his second and third were about to reach school age. How much would be left from one month worth of salary?

Thats why even though their lives were quite good now, his wife was still very frugal. Every year during the busy season at the orchard, her wife would come to help. The pay was not very high, she worked for a few months. She could not come every day because she had to take care of the field, but she still earned about 20 to 30 yuan, which she was happy about.

In the past, he would take five yuan to his mother every month, but he no longer did it. He would support his mother when she was old. If she had the money, she would not be peaceful about it, and he wanted to take care of his family.

Things got busy and it was time for Ji Yunyun to get married.

Ji Yunyun and Li Zhi were married during the strawberry season. Although they were busy at this time, Mother Ji would occasionally make some free time to see how preparations were going. Mother Ji had to take care of matters at home and at the orchard, and she also had to take care of Yan'er in the orchard.

Su Danhong didnt interfere. She had to take care of Renren and Qiqi.

Feng Fangfang had to work again.

Meanwhile, Yun Lili promised to take a leave of absence on the day of the wedding banquet, but it was only for one day. Who made the wedding on a Wednesday instead of the weekend?

There was only Ji Mudan left who was free between the sisters-in-law.

However, Ji Mudan and Ji Yunyun did not have a good relationship, and it basically was not going to change.

Ji Yunyun said to Mother Ji, Fourth sister-in-law has class every day in Jiangshui City, so I cant say anything about that, but the other three dont have anything to do. I'm getting married now. They act as if there is nothing to do when someone gets married!

It's me marrying off my daughter, not your sisters-in-law. What else do you want them to do? And why do you think your sisters-in-law are like this? Do you think you have nothing to do with it? Mother Ji scolded.

Ji Yunyun looked unhappy and cried, I'm getting married now, so they should care!

Do you think youre so great for getting married? And since you know you're going to get married, you should be more sensible. If you continue to behave like this after getting married, youll have the best life in the future! Mother Ji was going to take some time to go buy things with her, but what was said made her really angry. At this moment, she's still thinking about arguing with her sisters-in-law.

If she got angry like this in the future, who would back her up? Maybe her older brothers, but not her parents or husband's parents!

After preparing hard for about seven or eight days, Ji Yunyun got married.

The wine was served at Butcher Li's house in Dawan Village. The place was spacious enough to have fifteen tables. Butcher Li was a wealthy family in Dawan Village, with many relatives and friends. The wedding was a very festive event.

Ji Jianyun and his brothers made some time to go to it. Feng Fangfang, Ji Mudan, and Yun Lili also went. Su Danhong didn't go. She didn't like to get involved in Yun Lili's affairs, and the excuse was also reasonable. She had three children to take care of.

Even if she didn't go, so many other people went, and it would be enough to give Ji Yunyun enough support.

When Ji Yunyun got married, she received a lot of money. Besides the dowry from Mother Ji and Father Ji, it's unclear how much Su Danhong gave. Feng Fangfang, Ji Mudan, and Yun Lili each gave 20 yuan.

This was what Feng Fangfang suggested and they had discussed it together.

Although the relationship with this sister-in-law was not very good, they had to give her a firm foothold in her husbands family. That way she would not cry back to her mother's house and cause them trouble in the future, right?

With what the four families gave, it added up to 80 yuan.

From Mother Ji and Father Ji, Su Danhong estimated that at least 200 yuan was the minimum, and it could go up to 300 yuan.

Mother Ji made a lot of money. It was the strawberry season, which was followed by watermelons. Mother Ji took care of the fields for these fruits. She took some of that for the dowry but there was also a lot left.

How Mother Ji handled her money was her own business. Su Danhong did not care.

In the end, Ji Yunyun was married.

Su Danhong thought that once Ji Yunyun was married, she would rarely come back again. After three days of leaving home, Ji Yunyun and Li Zhi came to visit. After the weekend, Ji Yunyun returned to his mother's house on Monday.

She said she would help out because it was a busy time for strawberry picking. Also, she had nothing to do in the county town. While Li Zhi was on vacation, she would come over.

Mother Ji felt bad and said to her, You just got married, so why did you go back to my house? What about your mother-in-laws reputation? Go back to your mother-in-law's house immediately and help her clean the house, wash the clothes, and cook!

Ji Yunyun stood up and declared, Im not doing stuff at my mother-in-laws house. Why should I do it if I am married to my husband and not her? I dont eat from her family, so I won't do any work!

She was hiding from her husband's family. That's the reason why she went back to her mother's side, okay? She couldnt stay with her husband's family. They kept three pigs at home, and the smell was so strong every day. She was about to suffocate!

Do you still have any idea about how to be a daughter-in-law? Which of your sisters-in-law dont work? Did you think you would become a respected elder once youre married? Mother Ji didn't expect her to think like this, and she was immediately annoyed.
