Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 40: Ji Jianyun’s Injury

“Grandmother, look at the shoes third aunt bought for me. Do you think they look good?” When Hou Wazi saw that Mother Ji was coming, he immediately ran over and showed her the shoes.

"Yes, did your third aunt really buy this for you?" Mother Ji asked and looked at the pair of sneakers. Lao Da’s wife would definitely not be willing to buy this.

“Yeah! Third aunt bought it for me!” Hou Wazi grinned happily.

Mother Ji smiled and said to Su Danhong, “You are the only one who is willing to buy these shoes for Hou Wazi. If it was Lao Da’s wife, she would be unwilling.”

If it was the previous Su Danhong, she wouldn’t spend any money and Mother Ji would have to say a few words to her. However, it was different now.

The more she looked at her generous daughter-in-law, the more satisfied she was. She had the aura of a landlord’s wife like in the past.

Society was better now, not like when things were inclined to the movement in the past. Of course, Mother Ji liked her daughter-in-law for having a noble air to her.

And the most important thing was that all the saplings in the back mountain orchard were growing!

Out of all the surrounding villages and towns, her family was the only one with an orchard. Other families might have one or two trees planted in their yard, but it couldn’t compare to the orchard in their back mountain. It was a really big orchard!

“I discussed things with your father and we want to surround the orchard with some metal fences.” This was the main reason why Mother Ji came over today.

An orchard was very rare and that was a good thing. However, they were so rare that they were too eye-catching.

“It’s not very secure using metal fences. Mother, ask father to look around. Let's just build a brick wall,” Su Danhong said.

She had made up her mind a long time ago to build a wall. That way, it would be much more convenient to do what she wanted to do in the future, and she didn't have to hide it.

“A brick wall?” Mother Ji asked at once and was shocked. “That's not necessary. How many bricks will it take if you build a wall? That's a lot of money! No, it’s fine with a metal fence.”

“It’s better to build a brick wall. It doesn’t cost a lot. Isn't father familiar with the man who is familiar with the trade? Let's ask for more bricks so that he will make it cheaper. It won't cost much if it goes well,” Su Danhong explained.

A metal fence was a good choice, but it could be cut open with pliers and it would no longer be useful.

She had made up her mind to build a brick wall around the mountain, and then put a metal fence around the brick wall. The space would be very good to raise chickens in the future. This would be pretty good because the back mountain was so big. If the orchard was used to raise chickens and it became a big chicken farm, then how could they not have the fences?

Mother Ji was shocked when she heard that she would set up a big chicken farm in the future. “You had these plans?”

“Is it not doable? In the future, the orchard must be fertilized. If I set up a chicken farm, then I won't have to worry about fertilizer,” Su Danhong said. “And grown chicken and eggs will also be a big income.”

“But where are these things going to be sold?” Mother Ji couldn’t help but ask.

“Isn’t that easy? I’ll set up a store in town and hire one or two people to watch over it,” Su Danhong replied.

Mother Ji was dumbfounded. “Then you can hire someone we know. You can’t trust this kind of thing to outsiders.”

“So does mother agree to it? You can go and discuss it with father and see how much it will cost to build the wall,” Su Danhong said.

Although she could only embroider one piece a month, she had enough money and there was no need to worry about lack of money.

Also, the last time she went to town to give sister Hong the embroidery, sister Hong was very happy to tell her that Splendid Villa had risen in value!

Splendid Villa was the community where she and sister Hong went to buy an apartment. Before, it was about 22 yuan per square meter, but it had risen to almost 30 yuan.

In other words, the 108 square meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms that Su Danhong bought at the time was available for a little more than 2,000 yuan, but it was now 3,000 yuan.

Sister Hong also asked her if she wanted to resell it, but Su Danhong stated she was not short on money, so she would just keep it. If the price rose again in the future, wouldn't it be a loss to sell now?

And most importantly, Su Danhong had no intention of selling it at all.

Jiangshui’s first middle school was next to the community. In the future, if her child went to school, they will have the apartment to live in, and she will leave it for her child.

As soon as she spoke, sister Hong also said to take her time and not to do anything in the time being.

But Su Danhong didn't know much about these things. In any case, she never thought about selling the apartment.

She had been saving for a while. Even if she was not the previous owner who scrimped and saved in the past, she did not need to spend money on a place to live, plumbing, fruits, vegetables, and rice. Many of these things were brought over by Mother Ji. They still had the newest crop of rice that was planted by their family. Where she usually spent her money was on some salt and soy sauce, which did not cost much.

So these days, she had almost 1000 yuan on hand.

1000 yuan was enough, and she still had a piece of embroidery that was almost ready.

Mother Ji went back to tell Father Ji about helping her manage a chicken farm in the future. Father Ji frowned as he smoked and said, “I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money.”

"Danhong said that she doesn't care about the money, she just wants it to go well. When the orchard is ready in the future, all the money will come back." Mother Ji said.

Father Ji nodded and said, “Then I’ll go ask around.”

Father Ji went out for almost two hours and then came back and said, "I have discussed things with him and he will give it to us for one cent depending on our quantity.”

Upon hearing this, Mother Ji was happy and said, “One cent? That's not bad. It costs three cents right now.”

A brick was cheaper by two cents, which was a lot.

Ten bricks was 20 cents cheaper, 100 bricks was 2 yuan, 1,000 bricks was 20 yuan, and 10,000 bricks was 200 dollars!

“What do you think? I want a lot of bricks, which is why it is so cheap. I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money,” Father Ji said. “But old Yang said that he will give us some broken bricks. Building the wall doesn’t require good bricks.”

“That's a lot of money, isn't it?” Mother Ji asked.

We don’t have to build it too high, just two meters. It really is quite a lot. Go find Lao San’s wife and bring her over, I'll talk to her,” Father Ji said.

When Su Danhong came over, she had brought 600 yuan and gave it to Father Ji without any objections. She left it to Father Ji to make the decisions.

Father Ji felt a heavy burden was placed on him with the 600 yuan. He solemnly assured her, “Danhong, don't worry, father will take good care of the orchard for you!”

“I trust father. You can use the money first. If it’s not enough, just let me know,” Su Danhong said. There was still 400 yuan at home, but she couldn’t bring it all over. She naturally had to keep some money to support her household.

Su Danhong finished talking here and went home.

Su Danhong went to bed that night. She, who never had dreams, had one. She didn't know what happened and got up in the middle of the night. When it was almost dawn, she fell asleep again.

Meanwhile, in a distant hospital, Ji Jianyun was rushed to the hospital that same night. He was pushed into the operating room and a knife was taken out. The surgery was a success.

After the attending doctor took off his mask, he said to Jianyun’s friends, “I'm afraid the patient's left leg will no longer be able to undergo strenuous activities.”
