Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 223: Is This How Life Is?



Seeing him like this, Ji Yunyun angrily went back to lie on the bed.

The marriage with this man was not as good as she imagined. He was only busy with work and never cared about her feelings!

“After giving birth, I'm going to find a job!” Ji Yunyun said directly.

Li Zhi frowned. “You should take care of the children at home, I can run cram schools during the summer and winter vacations…”

“No, I'm going to work!” Ji Yunyun said louder.

“Then during the New Year, I'll go back and talk to my mother, and ask her to help take care of our child,” Li Zhi could only say.

Ji Yunyun then snorted and ignored him.

Li Zhi shook his head and said nothing more.

As for Mother Ji, she didn’t consider things to be the same anymore. If the married daughter was good, then she would visit. If not, then she wouldn’t. She was very decisive about this!

Especially when it came to this daughter, she didn't care anymore.

On the day of the winter solstice, Su Danhong made a lot of dumplings with various fillings.

Qiqi liked to eat shrimp stuffing the most. This kid was one and a half years old, and his small teeth were very sharp. When she stewed chicken, he wanted to eat the chicken leg, and when they ate dumplings, he was very aggressive. He could eat by himself, and didn’t need his mother to feed him. He was annoyed when his mother obstructed him.

Renren was no longer a picky eater. He liked to eat whatever was given to him, but he preferred dumplings stuffed with beef.

As for Ji Jianyun, he couldn’t choose. The dumplings made by his wife were wonderful. All were so delicious, and he liked all the different kinds of fillings.

He brought a lot to Father Ji and Mother Ji, and Uncle Ji ate it too.

Uncle Ji sighed. “Brother, sister, you have good vision. You chose a good wife for Jianyun, and she is better than any other wife.”

This was the first time he felt like this. There was nothing more to say. Jianyun's wife was really filial, and she did everything. Look at his brother and his sister-in-law, who were only two years younger than him, but looked way younger than him. Wasn’t it because they ate well?

Mother Ji liked to hear others praise Su Danhong, and she said with a smile, “Uncle, don't be like that, I think Jianchuan and his wife will be no different in the future.”

“It will be good then, but I can still work and I don't need to let them take care of me.” Uncle Ji was very strong. He took 20 yuan back home, and he saved 15 yuan. He had been saved like this since the beginning of the year, and had saved a lot.

He wanted to find a time to go to the county town to get a bank account, and deposit money in it for retirement. As for his two sons, his youngest son was unreliable. As for the eldest son, he didn’t want him to suffer too much. If he was filial, his pension money would be for his son in the future.

Uncle Ji went to the second orchard after eating, and met his eldest son at the foot of the mountain.

When Ji Jianchuan saw his father, he smiled and said, “Father, did you eat at uncle's?”

“I did,” Uncle Ji said.

“I made dumplings at home, and I wanted to eat them with you,” Ji Jianchuan said.

Uncle Ji nodded. “I will, but you should eat as many as you want. I ate a lot at your second uncle's place, and I couldn't eat any more.”

Ji Jianchuan came back, and Ji Jianchuan's wife, Li Hehua, saw that he was the only one coming back, so she asked, “Where's father?”

“Father ate at second uncle's place.” Ji Jianchuan said.

Hearing this, Li Hehua said, “I told you to go over earlier and you didn't listen. By now, I would have already eaten too.”

“I didn’t know it would be so early today. I haven't eaten yet,” Ji Jianchuan said. It was only five o'clock, and they usually ate at half past five.

“Father lives on the mountain, and mother doesn't care, so that’s true.” Li Hehua frowned.

Ji Jianchuan said, “Well, I've thought of a plan. In the future, my father will be supported by us, and my mother will be supported by Jianhe. We don't have to think too much about it.”

He also believed that his mother didn’t care about his father. Look at his father now, he was much more energetic than before. He heard that since winter arrived, Jianyun would make some red dates and goji berry tea for him.

In the past, the famine was severe, but now that Uncle Ji was old, didn’t he need more nutrition? It's just that Ji Jianchuan’s family's conditions were limited, and he had children.

But Jianyun did not treat his father badly. Although he let his father live directly on the mountain, the conditions were excellent. There was even a big clock on the wall, which cost a lot of money.

Looking at his father's current state, he looked younger than before.

Li Hehua said, “It's not very good to eat at the second uncle's place all the time. You should find a time to tell father to ask him to come over for dinner.”

Ji Jianchuan waved his hand. “Forget it, he’s used to a certain lifestyle. How often do you eat meat? How can the food compare to second uncle’s? I think they have eggs and meat for all three meals.”

Li Hehua didn't say anything else.

Ji Jianhe and Su Juan were also eating dumplings. Su Juan said, “Father now gives Mother 20 yuan a month. Where does the remaining 15 yuan go?”

As soon as Ji Jianhe heard this, he knew what his wife wanted to say, and said angrily. “I think you should give up. Father will not give us the remaining 15 yuan!”

“I wasn’t thinking about father's money like that. This is more about the tension.You can ask your father to eat with us, but I will never agree to your mother. She can’t come and eat a grain of our rice!” Su Juan clarified.

Ji Jianhe said, “It's still early, let's talk about it later.”

After eating the dumplings, he went back to lie down.

He was so exhausted. He had to go to the reservoir to fish every day. Ji Jianyun also set a time limit for him. If he couldn’t catch the fish on time, then there was a fist waiting for him.

And before he did that, he had to help repair the reservoir. After working tirelessly for a month, he received 30 yuan. How long did he have to suffer?

He didn’t know that this would be his life.

Su Juan didn’t care. She only knew that this was a guarantee of income every month. Otherwise, she wouldn’t let Ji Jianhe live a good life!

Ji Jianhe was still allowed to take a nap, but then she came over and yelled, “You still have work to do! Go to work quickly!”

“Woman! Why are you like this?” Ji Jianhe had to retort.

Su Juan was not afraid of him. She could see through him and said, “Hurry up and go make the deliveries! If you don’t, how will we have food this month?”

Ji Jianhe cursed a few times, but still resigned himself to his fate.

Ji Jianyun asked him to deliver goods to the surrounding shops, and to settle the bills. There were many things to do. He had been fishing all morning, and it was such a cold morning. After getting some sleep, he had to go deliver goods.

He thought it was almost impossible to live this kind of life, but if he didn't work, his wife would never give him a penny, and his wife would definitely ask for a divorce.

If he was divorced, he would have to be a bachelor.

Sigh, is this how life is?
