Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 15: How Did She Earn Money by Herself?

Mother Ji frowned as soon as she said that. She reprimanded, “That’s your third sister-in-law. What's the matter with you girl? Why are you still calling her by her name?”

Ji Yunyun was dumbfounded. She had no idea that her mother would say that to her because of the way she addressed Su Danhong. She had called her that way before, and she didn't see her mother tell her not to. ???????????? ???????? ???? ??????????????????.??????

“Mother, Su…” Ji Yunyun still wanted to say her name, but she was stared at by Mother Ji and could only change it. She asked, “What’s wrong with third sister-in-law? I didn't even recognize her when I saw her just now. Why does she look like a different person?”

“Danhong has straightened up a lot these days, but isn't that what mother saw in her when she was chosen?” When Mother Ji said this, she was proud of her foresight.

Although the first three years of Lao San’s wife was unspeakably horrible, she had learned a painful lesson since she hanged herself. It must have been Jianyun who educated her. What was Lao San’s wife like now?

Gentle and virtuous; docile and filial. She treated the old couple really well. It’s just that she was spending money as extravagantly as before.

However, she couldn’t say anything, because Lao San’s wife made money on her own. One of her embroidery pieces was equivalent to a person’s income for a year.

Additionally, she didn’t spend all the money on herself. These days, she brought over some pork meat and spare ribs from time to time, or rice noodles that were sold in the town. When she learned what the old couple liked to eat, she also bought a lot.

These were Lao San’s wife’s filial acts. How could she say that she was spending her money recklessly?

Mother Ji also suggested to Su Danhong to let her keep some money for when she had a child since childcare used a lot of money.

But Su Danhong's answer was also very simple, gentle and filial. She said, “Mother, I have put away all of the money I have received from Jianyun. All the money I used is what I earned. I used to be ignorant and didn't show filial piety to you, so now I have to show some respect and let Jianyun be assured while he is outside.”

Looking at it this way, Mother Ji couldn't even talk about her.

But Mother Ji couldn’t explain how comfortable she was. She had four daughter-in-laws, but she was finally able to enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law.

Sure enough, the fortune-teller was right. The fortune-teller said that the old couple would follow Lao San’s family, who would provide for them in the future.

Ji Yunyun’s eyes widened and she was speechless when she heard her mother's high opinion of third sister-in-law.

In this half of a semester, what kind of concoction did Su Danhong give her mother? Was this still her mother?

“Your third sister-in-law is very filial and different from what she used to be like. You should not look down on her as her sister-in-law.” These were Father Ji’s words.

Ji Yunyun couldn’t even say a word.

Father Ji sat on the chair and poured a small cup of wine. The smell of wine dispersed, and there was a small plate of beef jerky in front of the wine on the table. Ji Yunyun sat down in rage and ate a piece of jerky. She couldn't help it and took another piece. Her eyes lit up and said, “Where did this beef jerky come from? It's so delicious.”

“Your third sister-in-law made and sent it to your father to have with wine. This wine was also bought by your third sister-in-law,” Father Ji indifferently said.

Ji Yunyun eyes widened. “When was she so willing? I remember she would be unhappy if Hou Wazi ate a piece of pancake from mother!”

“You also know that is in the past. Don't bring up the past by stir-frying the leftovers, and don't be impolite to your third sister-in-law in the future, or you won't be spared,” Mother Ji stated.

Ji Yunyun was so angry that she stopped eating the beef jerky and went back to her room.

She almost lost her place in this family, and as soon as she came back, her parents advised her to be more polite to that stupid woman, Su Danhong. Why?!

She was angry and fell asleep on the bed.

She woke up hungry and smelled the delicious stewed meat. She came out and said, “Mother, what dishes did you make for me?”

On Su Danhong’s side, after she bid Jian Yunyun farewell, she took the meat that would be used to prepare for the winter and the embroidery materials home.

She froze the beef, but she cut off a piece of mutton. She picked up a knife and chopped it up. Then, she washed it and put it into the stew.

Mutton and wolfberry soup1. She wanted to eat this tonight.

However, she did not eat alone. When she saw that it was almost done, she divided the soup. She saved a piece of meat and a spoonful of soup for Xiao Hei, who had grown big enough to take care of the home. She brought the remaining mutton soup to the Lao Ji's house.

Father Ji and Mother Ji were pretty much used to Lao San’s wife bringing over something to eat from time to time.

But they were very impressed by Lao San’s wife right now.

“When I came back, I met youngest sister-in-law. I stewed mutton soup and put a lot of Chinese wolfberry in it. It is very nourishing. Father, mother, you and youngest sister-in-law should drink some soup together to warm up."

Mother Ji wanted her to stay for dinner, but Su Danhong said that she had finished cooking at home and she went back after putting down the soup.

The mutton soup Su Danhong brought was simmered on the stove by Mother Ji. The fragrant smell filled the entire home.

This was the origin of the meat smell in the Lao Ji home.

“You’re not a big shot. I don't know what dishes to make for you.” Mother Ji, who was pickling vegetables, didn't even look up when she heard the words of her daughter who had just woken up.

“Then where is the smell coming from?” Ji Yunyun asked and went to the kitchen herself.

Soon, a surprised voice came out, “Mutton and wolfberry soup? Mother, you really are my biological mother!” Then came the sound of bowls and chopsticks. ???????????? ???????? ???? ??????????????????.??????

Ji Yunyun scooped up a bowl of soup and a lot of mutton. She ate with a satisfied face. “Mother, your cooking skills have improved. This meat is really delicious and the soup is too!”

“This was just delivered by your third sister-in-law,” Mother Ji said.

Ji Yunyun swallowed that mouthful of meat and did not eat anymore.

Father Ji came back from outside and smelled the mutton soup. He inquired, “From Lao San’s wife?”

“Mhm, enough for one bowl per person,” Mother Ji stated and nodded.

Ji Yunyun wanted the guts to say that she didn't want to eat, but she couldn't say it!

Because the mutton and soup was really delicious…

Mother Ji quickly finished pickling the vegetables. There was nothing else to do later, so she washed her hands and took out the vanishing cream to use.

Ji Yunyun's eyes widened. “Mother, do you use vanishing cream on your hands? It’s for rubbing into your face!”

“There’s more in the room. Your third sister-in-law said you could wipe it on your hands,” Mother Ji stated. Her hands could not stand the cold this year. How long could she stand it? It was thanks to Danhong after she mentioned it, otherwise her hands would probably be cracked.

Ji Yunyun immediately went into her mother's room, and sure enough, there were three or four boxes of vanishing cream and three boxes of clam oil in the cabinet!

“Mother, did she buy all these for you?” Ji Yunyun could not believe it.

It was impossible for her mother to buy these, and for her to buy so many!

“Yeah, your third sister-in-law likes to eat pickled vegetables made by mother. Take this jar to your third sister-in-law,” Mother Ji responded and turned around.

“Hmph! She’s just pretending to be generous with third brother’s money. Father, mother, don't be fooled by her!” Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth. She did not expect this. How long had Su Danhong been using this kind of trick? How could she watch her parents be won over?

“Why are you always talking with thorns like a child? Your third sister-in-law earned this money by herself, and didn’t use your third brother's money,” Mother Ji said in a bad mood.

“She earned it herself? How did she earn money by herself?” Ji Yunyun glared.
