Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 29: This Mountain is Mine!




Father Ji and the village committee member were still familiar with each other, but it was still a little strange to see each other on the first day of the New Year. However, the village committee member did not ask any questions and prepared the contract changes in accordance with Father Ji's request. Additionally, Ji Jianguo, Ji Jianye, and Ji Jianwen all signed their names as witnesses.

This was the end of the matter. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Su Danhong was waiting at Lao Ji's home. She watched as Ji Jianyun brought back the land deed documents and she personally looked through it. She was very satisfied with how her father-in-law handled things.

Everything went according to the way she wanted it to. The brothers voluntarily signed the document to concede their rights on the land, and it was even clearly written how much each family took!

“From now on, the back mountain is ours!” Su Danhong said to Ji Jianyun and smiled as she held the deed and the documents.

Ji Jianyun was moved looking at her. They said goodbye to Father Ji and Mother Ji, and he took his wife back.

“Come on, let's go and see our mountain.” Su Danhong said to Ji Jianyun after she folded up the documents.

“Danhong, we don't have to go. I know you are being kind. I could see that my parents were being pressured by eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, so you took out the money for them. I promise to you that I will finish my missions and earn more money!” Ji Jianyun said seriously.

Su Danhong heard him and giggled. She smiled at her man, and said, “I have sold four pieces of embroidery this year. Do you know how much money I have made?”

Ji Jianyun looked at her and asked, “Isn’t it 100 yuan per piece?”

“I deceived them.” Su Danhong giggled again. She leaned over and whispered, “The four pieces of embroidery were sold for about 2,000 yuan.”

“2,000 yuan?” Ji Jianyun stared at her. “You earned that much?”

“What did you think? I’m your wife. The things that I embroider at my skill level are not sold at common prices.” Su Danhong smiled, pointed to the “A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix” in the cabinet. She asked, “Do you know how much I intend to sell this embroidery piece to sister Hong?”

“How much?” Ji Jianyun asked in a daze.

"I won't sell this ‘A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix’ piece unless it is 1,000 yuan.” Su Danhong replied.

Although Ji Jianyun gasped, he still questioned, “How did you earn so much?”

“I can earn this much because I have skills. That’s why you don’t need to worry about how the household is being managed and you don’t have to do anything dangerous for the family. I won’t agree to it, do you hear me?” Su Danhong explained.

“I know, honey, don't worry.” Ji Jianyun nodded.

Su Danhong was satisfied and said, “Let's go and have a look at the top of our mountain.”

Ji Jianyun brought her to the top of the mountain, which was next to the mountain where they caught the pheasant yesterday. However, the mountain where they caught the pheasant was shared. This smaller mountain was hers now!

Su Danhong was very pleased as she walked around. The top of the mountain was not high, but it was an enormous area.

Ji Jianyun saw that she was really interested in the land, so he told her that the mountain top was probably more than 200 mu of land. In the past, the price was very low because everyone was encouraged to contract the land. The main point was that this piece of land was indeed very poor, and basically no one wanted it.

“Honey, if you plan on planting fruit trees, then you may lose money,” Ji Jianyun tried to say it delicately.

His parents had tried to plant trees for several years, but they couldn't grow anything at all. They carried water all day to water the trees, but it did not bear any results. They finally had to give up and leave so much land behind.

“Don't worry, I'll figure it out,” Su Danhong said and gave him a radiant smile.

She was in a really good mood from looking at so much land. In her last life, her mother prepared more than 20 mu of fertile land for her as a dowry, but in the end, she never got to use it and came over to this side. She could rely on this land for the rest of her life to make a living.

“What kind of fruit trees do you think we should plant?” Su Danhong wondered.

“If you want to plant something, then it's good to plant some peach trees.” Ji Jianyun replied. Well, he had a bit of a craving for peaches. He had not eaten peaches for many years.

“Then let’s plant ten peach trees,” Su Danhong nodded and said. “Is there anything else?”

“Do you want to eat pears?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“I do. Let’s plant ten pear trees,” Su Danhong replied.

Ji Jianyun understood that his wife was going to plant fruit trees to open an orchard and that orchard would let her eat her own fruit.

So he gave her the suggestion to grow apples, cherries, and figs.

“I'm going to plant some nut trees. Chestnuts are good,” Su Danhong said. She had made some sugar stir-fried chestnuts1 not too long ago. They were delicious, and Xiao Hei liked them too.

“Then plant two?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“Yes, and you have to remind me to plant ten more persimmon trees and jujube trees. There is something else, but let me think about it. I'm going to find someone to move them for me at the beginning of spring,” Su Danhong said.

“How can you do it alone? Even if our parents help you, it’s still a big piece of land.” Ji Jianyun couldn’t help it and said this.

“I can hire people for fifty cents a day. There are a lot of people in the village who are willing to do it.” Su Danhong heard him and didn't take it seriously.

Ji Jianyun was dumbfounded. He realized that his wife was becoming classier. A salary of 50 cents a day was almost 15 yuan a month. It was almost as good as the salary for many people in the city. He knew that Ji Jianwen and Yun Lili's salary was only a little more than 19 yuan a month, and their salaries added up to almost 40 yuan.

With a wage of 50 cents a day, there would be a lot of people in the village scrambling to do it!

“If our parents hear that, they will not like it,” Ji Jianyun chuckled.

“I'm not asking them to pay for it. I’ll just hire three or four people. It's only two yuan a day. It's not expensive,” Su Danhong said.

Not only did she need to hire people to plant trees, she needed them to carry water in the future. It was impossible for her to do these things by herself.

“If you really want to plant them, then I'll find the people for you. What kind of fruit trees do you want? Write it down when we go back, and I'll call and ask about it," Ji Jianyun said.

“You have someone?” Su Danhong looked at him.

“I have a friend from before who got hurt in an accident while working, so he came out to work on his own land. He seemed to be doing this after he left. I don't know if he is still doing it. It happened several years ago.” Ji Jianyun nodded and informed her.

“That’s fine, go and ask. There's a phone at the village committee,” Su Danhong said.

“What's the rush? It's the New Year.” Ji Jianyun grinned.

Su Danhong said, “Just take advantage of the fact that you’ve come back for the New Year. If he’s close by, then you can call him over to meet up.”

“Okay, I'll call and ask when we go back,” Ji Jianyun nodded and agreed.

After they looked at the top of the mountain, they went home. Su Danhong began to cook dinner. Anyway, there was no need to go to the Lao Ji family. It was like this in previous years, and no one was in the mood after such a scene today.

It was best for everyone to live in their own way.

Su Danhong was in the kitchen cooking. She chopped up the mutton and put it in the stew. She only ate a little bit of sweet porridge in the morning. With Ji Jianyun’s type of physique, how could she continue to endure it?

“Danhong? Are you in the kitchen?” Mother Ji’s voice from the outside came in.
