Chapter 72: Our Orchard
Ji Yunyun couldn’t even step through the gate when she was blocked by Da Hei. She did not dare to leave or go in. She saw how Da Hei’s size was similar to that of a big black calf, so she was very afraid that when she turned around, he would attack her.
Su Danhong came out with Xiao Renren in her arms and said to her, “Younger sister-in-law is back. Do you want to come in? Your third brother is not at home.”
As soon as Ji Yunyun saw her coming out, she was no longer afraid of Da Hei. She glared at her and angrily shouted, “What's the matter with you? I've been shouting here for so long before you came out. Are you doing this on purpose to let the dog bite me?”
Su Danhong hugged her son and chuckled. “Younger sister-in-law can think however she wants.”
How could she be afraid of Ji Yunyun?
Ji Yunyun felt another wave of anger when she saw how she still looked like a fox charmer.
Ji Yunyun had not seen this woman for several months, and now she was becoming more and more like a fox immortal. She had enchanted her third brother until he was wrapped around her fingers. Now that she had given birth to a son, she was even more fearless with her position in the family.
Just look, when she came, she didn't invite her and blocked her at the gate. She acted so elitist!
But Ji Yunyun couldn’t let herself be defeated so easily.
She took a deep breath, raised her chin and looked at her and asked, “You know that my fourth sister-in-law bought an apartment, right? Do you know what the price of that place is now?”
Su Danhong understood what she was trying to do.
She immediately laughed. Of course I know that the housing prices in Jiangshui City have gone up. I have bought a 108 square meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Your fourth sister-in-law's apartment is only 80 square meters, how can you compare her to me?
But it was better for Su Danhong to keep these thoughts to herself. She didn’t feel like arguing with such a silly little girl. She looked at how arrogant she behaved and questioned back, “Then you know that my family’s orchard is growing well, right?”
“It’s just an orchard on a lousy mountain that will freeze to death if it snows this year. You’ll probably lose all your money in the coming year!” Ji Yunyun sarcastically replied.
“You stupid girl, what are you talking about?! Do you want to be beaten?!” When Mother Ji came over and heard the way her daughter spoke, she was immediately angry and went to pinch her arm.
“Ah! It hurts! Mother, what are you doing?!” Ji Yunyun cried.
“How dare you say the bullshit you just said? You’re asking for a beating, aren't you? I can tell you that if you dare to say something like that about the orchard again, I'll skin you!” Mother Ji glared at her.
Lao San’s finances were already a mess from the orchard. If he suffered a loss, then he would lose everything. Mother Ji prayed to Buddha with the hope that the orchard would be okay. However, she did not expect her daughter to have the audacity to create such lies. Thus, she was simply infuriated.
Knowing that her mother was really angry, Ji Yunyun didn't dare to do it again. However, she was not willing to completely admit defeat, so she retorted, “It's not me who wanted to say that, it's this woman who is messing with me!”
“Don't blame me, younger sister-in-law. I'll let you take a walk around the orchard sometime to see how the saplings are doing,” Su Danhong said lightly.
Ji Yunyun glanced at her.
“Okay, if you have nothing to do, then go back home,” Mother Ji said to make Ji Yunyun leave.
Her daughter was becoming more and more ignorant. Why didn’t she know how to get along with her sister-in-law? As soon as she saw her, she was hostile. Why did she even want to fight?
Her parents were old and would be taken care of by Su Danhong in the future. Did she think it would be her other brothers and sisters-in-law?
Although Jianwen was good, Lili had a certain type of personality. She spoke kindly on the surface, but there was no point in asking anything that was good from her. This was how she was not as great as Danhong. Although Danhong would say sweet things, no matter what she said, she was generous in fulfilling their parents’ requests!
Ji Yunyun was so angry. “I'm here to see third brother. I was here for so long and she never asked me to come in and sit. Don’t tell me you are siding with her, are you mother?
“Your third brother is in the orchard right now. You’re going to have to go by yourself. Don't bring up anything about coming in and sitting. If your third sister-in-law asks you to go in, will you go in?” Mother Ji remarked.
Ji Yunyun saw that her mother was supporting an outsider and mocking her. Since she was so full of anger again, she scowled. Then, she left and headed for the mountain.
It was only then that Mother Ji said to Su Danhong, “Danhong, this girl has this kind of personality, so don't be bothered by the way she is.”
Su Danhong said, “It's all right. When younger sister-in-law came, I was changing Renren's diaper, so she had to wait for a while. She probably thought I was angry and did it on purpose.” There was no doubt that she did purposely order Da Hei to keep an eye out for Ji Yunyun.
However, this kind of thing could not be said directly. In any case, she had an excuse ready because of her son.
And how old was Ji Yunyun this year? Her mother spoiled her without any real reason for doing so. She also took the college entrance examination this summer, and the results were less than ideal. She was just admitted to a third-tier teacher college, but there would be no issues with her graduating to teach primary school in the future.
In the end though, something like that was quite exceptional during this period of time.
It was precisely because it was so exceptional that Ji Yunyun did not come back during summer vacation this year, saying that she had found a part-time job in the city and had to study.
After that, she was going to the college town to go to the teacher college and live there.
Su Danhong was not interested in these things. It had nothing to do with her, and Ji Yunyun was not her daughter.
Miss Su’s “young lady” personality was like this. If someone was not worthy to look at, then they just weren’t. If they were polite to her, then she would be polite back; if they were impolite, then she wouldn’t even greet them!
“That’s just how that girl is, so don't worry about her,” Mother Ji repeated to make it less serious.
Su Danhong went back to her room with Xiao Renren, and Mother Ji went to pick some vegetables in the yard’s greenhouse.
After refurbishing for a while, the greenhouse was very tidy. There were wooden troughs about two meters long with vegetables planted inside. The pots of chrysanthemum seedlings from the Lao Hu family were also placed there. It was very warm, and the plants were growing well.
Even though this greenhouse was not the best, it was acceptable. Anyway, they could pick some vegetables to eat in the winter and they didn’t require anything else.
Mother Ji harvested a cabbage, while Ji Yunyun went to the orchard.
She knew where the orchard was. When Father Ji and Mother Ji were working on it, she wasn’t in high school yet. She was going to middle school in town. She didn’t follow them since it was so tiring to death to work on it.
She thought she would see an empty mountain, but she didn’t. Instead, she saw a tall brick wall?
Ji Yunyun was shocked, but then remembered her mother's words. For a while, she looked for a gate, and immediately shouted for someone.
As soon as she shouted, a ferocious dog barked and ran over. Ji Yunyun was startled by the fangs. This dog was as fierce as the one in Su Danhong's house!
When Father Ji heard the dog barking, he went over right away. As soon as he saw that it was his daughter, he asked, “When did you come back?"
“I came back yesterday. Father, you didn't go home, so you didn’t know!” Ji Yunyun replied. “Father, please open the gate for me. I want to go in and have a look!”
She was very excited. She did not expect her family's orchard to be so enormous!
She saw through the iron gate that it was full of fruit trees. Moreover, the trees looked very healthy, and not withered or half-dead at all!
