Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 222: I Can Still Support You



Su Danhong really didn't expect her mother-in-law to have ideas like that, but she also felt grateful.

She raised Ji Yunyun, who should be supporting her. But Mother Ji wasn’t foolish about that.

It was fine if Ji Yunyun was still in her maternal family, but now that she was married, she still wanted to manipulate her mother. Who would have thought she would still be like this.

Although a daughter was a daughter, there was a big difference between married and unmarried daughters.

Mother Ji was angry and didn't plan to pay attention to her. She pretended that she didn't know, and so Su Danhong naturally didn't bother.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was going to be the beginning of winter in a few days. It was time to eat dumplings.

She scooped up the spiritual spring water and went to water the celery planted in the backyard. When it was ready, she would make dumplings with celery and beef filling, celery and fish filling, and celery and pork filling. These would all be delicious.

Ji Yunyun was waiting in the county town, hoping that her mother would bring her a few chickens and baskets of eggs. She knew what her third brother's orchard had produced, but her mother wouldn’t order her brother to do anything.

The food would be for her to eat. She was pregnant, so she naturally wanted to eat more good food. However, she didn't expect to wait and wait and her mother never came over at all.

Of course, she could buy eggs by herself, and she could also buy chickens. Li Zhi's salary was handed over to her as soon as he was paid. He kept a dollar as pocket money. Because he was busy teaching, he basically allowed her to take care of things. She bought whatever she wanted to eat, which was very generous of him.

But she also saved some of the money. It was so she could buy her own house in the future. The one she lived in now was only 20 square meters, which was crowded.

Thus, she wanted her mother to bring the eggs and some chickens so that she could save a lot of money.

After all, prices are soaring now, and eggs and chickens cost a lot of money.

But after waiting for so long, no one came?

When Li Zhi came back that day, she told him, “What the hell is going on with my mother? She knows that I'm pregnant, but she hasn't come to see me until now!”

“Mother probably doesn't know yet,” Li Zhi said while correcting homework.

The salary of a teacher for the third year of middle school was relatively high, but there were many things to do. He had to correct homework until eleven o'clock every day, and he was very busy writing lesson plans.

“How could she not know? Third brother came here a month ago, and you told him about it. How could he not go back and tell her?!” Ji Yunyun exclaimed.

“Third brother is busy repairing the reservoir now, he doesn’t have a lot of time. I guess he forgot,” Li Zhi said indifferently.

“I'm pregnant, so what's the big deal with work?” Ji Yunyun cried in anger.

Li Zhi became more patient, and said, “You are free too. If mother is not here, then you can go there. It doesn't matter if you stay there for a few days. They say that feng shui is good there for raising children.”

Ji Yunyun snorted. “Who would want to go back? Last time I had a fight with Su Danhong. She also told me that I should never set foot in her orchard. How can I go?!”

Li Zhi frowned. “I don't think third sister-in-law is that kind of person.”

“Li Zhi, what do you mean by that? Su Danhong is not that kind of person?” Ji Yunyun exploded at once and raised her voice angrily.

Li Zhi said, “I didn't mean that…”

Ji Yunyun erupted, “You didn’t mean that, so what do you mean? You have to go to class all day long, and after class you stay in school. Have you considered my feelings? I am pregnant with a child by myself. Do you know how uncomfortable I am? Do you think this is easy?”

“I’m teaching third year students in middle school, and they will take the high school entrance examination next year. Now is the critical time to study for it. I am their class teacher. I have to watch over them at school. They need to be able to ask me a question as soon as they have one.” Li Zhi looked at her seriously. He continued, “I told you this before we got married, and you also told me that you will tolerate it.”

This was a profession he loved. It was because he was too busy with work that marriage had been delayed until now. He also knew that this was a shortcoming of his, so he explained it before getting married.

“You said it, but I didn't know that you would completely ignore your family for the sake of work!” Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth.

“I go to work and leave work on time every day, and I give you my monthly salary. You can buy what you like, and you can buy what you want to eat. Also, don’t I put my work aside to accompany you on the weekends?” Li Zhi looked at her and said. “During the week, these five days are my work days and I should do my duty. As for the remaining two days, I will accompany you. If you want to watch a movie, I will go with you. I will buy whatever you want to eat and make it for you. And if you want to go shopping, I will accompany you out. I can't accept your statement that I don't care about our family.”

“You’re just a teacher, so why can’t I say it?” Ji Yunyun rebutted angrily.

Li Zhi said, “Mother probably didn't come over because third brother was too busy building a reservoir. With how kind he is, he would not treat his workers badly while doing heavy work like building a reservoir. He probably gave them big lunches and wanted to do it as soon as possible. Mother hasn’t come over, so she must be too busy doing the cooking.”

“Is that really true?” Ji Yunyun asked.

“It's true. Mother is busy, so you can go back to see her. Go back and tell her the good news. You can’t be pregnant and not send any news back,” Li Zhi said.

“If I say I won't return, I won't return, and I won't return for New Year!” Ji Yunyun said.

Li Zhi shook his head and continued to correct the homework.

Ji Yunyun said again, “What if my mother doesn’t come in a few days?”

“If mother doesn’t come, then it can only mean that mother is annoyed with you, so I don't think mother will send you chickens and eggs,” Li Zhi said directly.

“Mother is annoyed at me?” Ji Yunyun asked immediately after hearing the words.

“It's one thing for you to be pregnant but another to not go back to announce the good news. Third brother was so busy that he forgot, but you can go back and say it,” Li Zhi said lightly.

“I’m not going back because of Su Danhong. If it wasn't for her, I would have gone back a long time ago!” Ji Yunyun gnashed her teeth..

Li Zhi frowned, and didn't say anything else. He just listened to his wife complain, “Evil spirit, there is never a moment when she is not a monster. Since she married into the family, my mother and my third brother don’t treat me like I’m a part of the family!”

Li Zhi glanced at her and he continued to lower his head to correct the homework. He said, “I can support you, so you don't have to worry about these little things from your mother's family. You can just buy what you want to eat. My salary is still enough for you to eat eggs and chicken.”
