Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 279: Don’t Favor Boys Over Girls

“This home can be built, but I'll pay as much as you pay, eldest sister-in-law,” Second Su sister-in-law said calmly.

Eldest Su sister-in-law was not happy about this. She wanted her to pay more. How could she pay as much as her?

Su Danhong just smiled at these two sisters-in-law's quarrel. She had no intention of getting involved in their affairs.

However, eldest Su sister-in-law would not let her sit there and do nothing. She said, “My brother-in-law is a filial man, and he would want to honor his mother-in-law, right? Don't you think so, sister-in-law? You should contribute to the house.”

“Eldest sister-in-law must be joking. My husband's family hasn't even built a house yet.” Su Danhong chuckled.

Ji Jianyun’s family do not have a big building yet, so she could take the money back to let her maternal family build one. However, while she was generous to her maternal family, it was not to this extent.

Eldest Su sister-in-law said, “My brother-in-law is so filial that he won't care about this.”

“Jianyun doesn't care, but I do.” Su Danhong looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

Eldest Su sister-in-law coughed and said, “Sister-in-law, you don’t agree, but this is your maternal family!”

“What about my maternal family? I'm already a married daughter. Just discuss the matter with second sister-in-law,” Su Danhong said lightly.

This meant that she would not contribute a penny.

Eldest Su sister-in-law understood what she said, and her expression was not good. Su Danhong was not influenced by her expression. “If you are going to build a house next year, will my eldest brother have time to help? I think it is better to let him help and I’ll find another person to work on the mountain.”

Edlest Su sister-in-law put on a forced smile and said, “As my sister-in-law said, even if we want to build a house, I'm here. We don’t need your eldest brother to help build it.”

“If you do it, then I will find another worker,” Su Danhong said.

Eldest Su sister-in-law didn't dare to be so reckless.

Su Danhong said, “Second sister-in-law and I have something to discuss. If eldest sister-in-law is busy, please go ahead.”

Although eldest Su sister-in-law wanted to stay and listen to what the two sisters-in-law had to say, she had no choice but to leave. This youngest sister-in-law was getting more and more powerful, and she overturned all her plans quietly.

But that wasn’t going to be the end of it! She was going to talk to her brother-in-law!

“Second Su sister-in-law wants a house here?” Su Danhong asked.

“Yes.” Second Su sister-in-law nodded. “When we can, we will build a two-story building, one floor per family. Mother will be on the same level as us.”

She wanted a new house, because the children were getting older, and the current one here was getting old.

Of course, this was all dependent on money.

She and Su Jindang had savings, and they could afford the house.

It's just that the money to build the house should be shared equally. There was no reason for her family to spend more than eldest sister-in-law’s side. It was not right.

And building a house was not something that happened in a day or two. When her eldest sister-in-law had the money, then they could talk about the house. The money eldest sister-in-law saved up was not enough to buy bricks.

As they were talking in the room, the eldest Su sister-in-law went outside to talk to Ji Jianyun about plans to build a house.

Mother Su was also present. When she heard about it, she exclaimed, “We’re celebrating the New Year, don't look for trouble!”

Of course she knew what the eldest daughter-in-law was trying to do. She wanted to ask her son-in-law to borrow money. Mother Su wanted to build a house, but she never thought of asking her son-in-law.

Ji Jianyun smiled and said, “If you don't have enough money to build a house, I still have some.”

He was very generous to his mother-in-law, and he didn’t mind.

Although Mother Su never thought of taking advantage of her son-in-law, his attitude made her happy.

“No, I have some of my own money. There’s also your brothers. When the time comes, the whole family will have enough. Your money is not needed, just take good care of Renren and Qiqi. Su Danhong is pregnant and will give birth soon. The three children will grow up and the expenses will be a lot. Society has changed. It’s not like in the past where you let them do whatever they want. Who doesn’t need to spend money to raise them?” Mother Su brushed him off as she spoke.

Ji Jianyun smiled and said nothing more.

Eldest Su sister-in-law really didn't expect to fail before really trying. As soon as she opened her mouth, her mother-in-law overthrew her!

Renren and Qiqi had a great time playing with their cousins ​​at their grandma's house. They all went back after lunch.

Ji Jianyun told Su Danhong about this matter. “If mother is short of money, she can borrow some.”

“They are short on money, so we should have my eldest and second brothers find a way to make the house happen. It's not on me to help,” Su Danhong said directly. She understood what he meant. She looked at him and asked, “Did my eldest sister-in-law talk to you?”

“She did, but your mother also heard it,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.

Su Danhong said, “She has no sense of dignity. We don't even have a new house here, but she thinks we should pay to build a house for her to live in.”

Ji Jianyun smiled at his wife, who was sometimes stingy.

The second day of the New Year passed. All the workers came to visit. During this period of time, many people were stopping by, and it was pretty busy.

Ji Guangzong brought Yang Daya over.

Yang Daya was sixteen this year. The little girl grew up a lot last year. She ate well, and she was fair and tender. She was engaged, and they both had decent reputations in the village. People had nothing to gossip about her.

After all, this was the wife chosen by Ji Guangzong.

They were young people. During the New Year, they even went to Jiangshui City to watch a movie.

Father Guangzong and Mother Guangzong were happy with Yang Daya, their prospective daughter-in-law. Every month when Yang Daya came back, they would kill a chicken to nourish her body. They hoped that she would grow well and when she got married, they would get a fat grandchild from her.

Yang Daya was a little worried about this, and quietly discussed it with second Su sister-in-law in the shop. What if she got married and had a daughter in the future?

Second Su sister-in-law said matter-of-factly, “What's wrong with having a daughter? Is it bad to have a daughter? If I had a daughter like you, I would wake up laughing from my dreams! The new society is different from before. Don't worry about that. If you give birth to a son, what will happen if he grows crooked in the future?”

Yang Daya made up her mind. Yes, it would be great if she gave birth to a son, but if it was a daughter, then she would teach her well, so that she was equal.

However, she still asked Ji Guangzong whether he wanted a son or a daughter.

Ji Guangzong's answer made her even more happy. “It doesn't matter if it's a son or a daughter. As long as the child grows up healthy, it doesn't matter. Don't worry about what the older generation thinks. How many people in our village raised unfilial sons? What's the use of that?”

He was very open-minded and did not have any misogynistic thoughts. If he did, he would not have taken good care of his six older sisters. He did not stop taking care of them until their lives became better in recent years.
