Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

No matter what Mother Ji said, Ji Yunyun did not go back to her husband's house.

Su Danhong knew about it from Yan'er. Yan'er had followed her third uncle down the mountain and said, “Aunt said she won't go back to her husband's house. The pigs raised at her husband's house are too smelly. She also said that she didn’t eat from his parents' house, so why should she work for them? She said she won’t!”

“This girl,” Ji Jianyun laughed when he heard that. He said to Su Danhong, “I’m going over to the reservoir.”

“Okay.” Su Danhong nodded.

“Da. Da.” The “Da” was shouted by Qiqi very clearly. With his small stride, he stumbled towards his father.

“You should take him with you.” Su Danhong waved as she saw her child.

Qiqi couldn't sit still at home and kept thinking about going outside all the time. If he was allowed to play on the mountain, then he would not even remember about his mother.

Ji Jianyun smiled and carried his youngest son back to the room to get a sling. Qiqi went along with his father and he was tie to his father’s chest. Then, they went to the reservoir.

At home.

Yan'er was a small girl, but her ability to speak was extremely good. Su Danhong could only imagine how Ji Yunyun angered her mother-in-law.

Then Su Danhong said to Yan'er, “Who did you learn these words from?”

“I didn't learn from anyone. I just wanted to tell my third auntie what my other aunt said,” Yan'er smiled and explained.

Ji Jianyun was her third uncle (san bo), so she called Su Danhong third auntie (san niang niang). She could also be called third aunt (san bo niang), but Yan'er likes to call her auntie (san niang niang).

This was how the new generation called their elders. Those from Ji Jianyun's generation would refer to them as aunt (shen zi), even if it was Uncle Ji’s wife. Ji Jianyun wanted to call her aunt (da niang), but she told him to call her aunt (shen zi).

In some areas, moms were also called shen zi and not mom.

But this new era was influenced by the outside world. Yun Lili came back during the New Year and corrected Yan'er to call Su Danhong her third aunt (san bo niang) or third auntie (san niang niang).

Yan'er changed what she said and since then, she called Su Danhong third auntie.

Ji Xiaodong, Xiaozhen and Xiaoyu did not need to change what they said because Ji Jianguo and Ji Jianye were both older than Ji Jianyun, so it was fine calling her third aunt (san shen shen).

“Don't learn those words next time,” Su Danhong said.

Yan'er nodded and said, “Then I won't try to remember it next time. But aunt was so angry that grandma won’t talk to her.”

Renren frowned when he heard that. “Aunt made grandma mad?”

The little guy has a squishy face. Although he was still young, he was a very knowledgeable three year old.

For example, he was pretty filial to his grandma. Sometimes when he saw delicious food on the table, he would ask, “Did you give any to grandma and grandpa?”

“She’s mad. I washed strawberries for her and she only ate one. That’s why I asked third uncle to take me down the mountain to play with you,” Yan’er said.

“Aunt is not good,” Renren said.

Yan'er nodded. Then she asked about the words Xiaodong taught them yesterday, “Brother, how many do you remember?”

“I remember…”

The cousins used their fingers to count the words they had written down yesterday. Xiaodong was coming over to check today.

Su Danhong went to the kitchen to make some snacks.

Today, she made sesame peanut sweets. It was very fragrant. After leaving two pieces for each child and two cups of malt milk for them, she went up the mountain with a small plate of snacks.

When she got there, Ji Yunyun was eating strawberries. It was probably Yan'er who washed them.

“Sister-in-law is back,” Su Danhong said.

Ji Yunyun still remembered how her fourth sister-in-law didn't show up to her wedding. She snorted and turned away, ignoring her.

This made Mother Ji blow up and she shouted, “Ji Yunyun, are you deaf or blind? Did you hear your third sister-in-law talking to you?”

“Mother, why are you so loud? Can’t you tell I heard you?” Ji Yunyun retorted.

“If you did, then why are you acting like that?” Mother Ji questioned.

Ji Yunyun cried, “What else do you want from me?”

Su Danhong said to Mother Ji, “Mother, don't be angry.”

Mother Ji's face was heavy. Su Danhong had brought her a snack, so she said, “Mother, you should make some malt milk to go with this snack. It's delicious.”

“Mother already said I can bring back the malt milk,” Ji Yunyun immediately said, and then lifted his chin proudly to look at Su Danhong.

Mother Ji became more upset. She thought about giving it to her daughter, but she didn’t actually say she would. After Su Danhong bought it, she and her husband had so much to eat, so she thought about giving it to her daughter.

She never thought her daughter would speak to her third sister-in-law in this tone. What was she doing? Deliberately picking a fight with her third sister-in-law again?

“Mother, I would like to eat some strawberries tonight. Can you help me pick some?” Su Danhong smiled at Mother Ji.

“Okay.” Mother Ji didn't want to stay in the same room as this daughter anymore. She grabbed a basket and left.

As soon as Mother Ji left, the smile on Su Danhong’s lips faded and she looked at Ji Yunyun.

“Does sister-in-law think she's amazing? "

Ji Yunyun had a scowl on her face and questioned back, “What? Why don’t you keep pretending?”

“Let me tell you something, Ji Yunyun, from start to finish, what is there that you can compare to me? The strawberries you are eating are grown from my mountain. The place you are standing on is also mine. How dare you act like that to me on my land?” Su Danhong said indifferently.

Ji Yunyun was irritated, so she threw the strawberries on the ground and declared, “Who cares about your things!”

“I can't tell how much backbone sister-in-law has, but since you don’t care about my things, you wouldn’t dare take the malt milk that I gave to mother as a gift now would you?” Su Danhong asked her.

“Did you really think I cared? If my mother didn’t give it to me, then did you think I would want it?” Ji Yunyun immediately defended.

“I know you don’t care, and you should know that I don’t care as long as you are a guest. This orchard belongs to me, so please help yourself,” Su Danhong said.

“Yours? What a joke, this mountain belongs to my third brother!” Ji Yunyun looked at Su Danhong with a cold smirk.

“He used to be your third brother, but now he's my husband and the father of my two sons. Is he kissing you or me? Doesn’t sister-in-law understand? How old are you to be saying such ridiculous things? You’re so naive for someone who has studied in college for a year or so. How come you don’t even understand how the world works?” Su Danhong put her in a hard spot.

Ji Yunyun's face turned red.

“You’re already married. There is that saying that the maternal family is the core of a daughter's marriage. However, the maternal family is not the place where you, a married daughter, can come back to act so recklessly. Mother Ji is my mother-in-law. If you want the right to be angry at her, then are you willing to take on the responsibility of what will happen to her from that anger?” Su Danhong condemned.

“She’s my mother! Do you really think she’ll side with you? No matter how much she does, you won’t surpass her own daughter!” Ji Yunyun mocked.

Su Danhong nodded and said, “I know she’s your mother, but you are a married daughter who has been poured out1. You don't have the right to come back and be angry at her. Ji Yunyun, I’m giving you a warning this time. If you dare come back and get angry at mother-in-law again, then you won't be able to take another step on this mountain forever.”
