Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

“So separating is happening.” Ji Jianyun was quite easy to talk to, and he said this after hearing Ji Jianhe finish.

“We have to separate, the family has fought too much,” Ji Jianhe explained.

Ji Jianyun thought to himself, is your mother mad at you? He knew it well. His aunt was partial to the second son. The eldest son, Ji Jianchuan, separated as soon as he got married. He brought back five yuan a month, but Aunt Li still thought it was too little, and she said that he was not filial.

Ji Jianhe still depended on his parents after growing up, which naturally broke Ji Jianchuan's heart.

So now Ji Jianchuan didn't even give the five yuan.

But this was someone else's business, and Ji Jianyun wasn’t going to interfere. He said, “Then why are you looking for me? I'm busy now.”

“I know you can help, third brother. I came here to see if there is any work I can do,” Ji Jianhe said hastily.

“If you came here to find a job, there’s none suitable for you. The work here is very hard,” Ji Jianyun said with a grin.

“I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of hard work.” Ji Jianhe immediately said.

“You know that I have retired from the army. I have fallen behind a lot in the fighting I learned before, and I want to find someone to practice with me. If you want, you can go to your father and wait for me in the orchard. I will practice for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening,” Ji Jianyun said. “I can give you 30 yuan a month.”

“If I do it for four hours a day, you’ll give me 30 yuan a month?” Ji Jianhe said happily.

“Yes, since we’re related through our grandfather. Otherwise, would it be so easy for you to make money?” Ji Jianyun smiled.

Ji Jianhe went back very satisfied. When she heard what had happened, Su Juan looked suspicious, “How can it be that good to get paid for training?”

“Of course, third brother told me that he will only take care of me for the sake of our grandfather,” Ji Jianhe said with a smile.

Su Juan felt that what her mother said was true, and it was hard to find a good relative.

So the next day, Ji Jianhe went up the mountain in high spirits.

But when he came back, he was almost crawling back and he was in a mess.

Su Juan asked in confusion, “What's going on?”

“I was deceived by Ji Jianyun. When he asked me to be a training partner, he clearly meant to use me as a sandbag!” Ji Jianhe said weakly.

“So it’s not an agreement, you’re a training partner,” Su Juan said immediately after hearing that.

Ji Jianhe looked at the wife in disbelief. “Juan, don't you feel distressed when you see me being beaten up like this?”

“What's so distressing about it? It's just a little injury. Remember to go again in the evening. The pay is 30 yuan a month. It's very profitable.” Su Juan didn't think it was serious.

When she went back to her maternal home before, she went to see eldest Su sister-in-law to find out more. However, eldest Su sister-in-law was taught very well by Mother Su. She knew the truth should not be publicized, so she didn't say anything. She showed off instead and said that it was how her husband realized his sense of responsibility and knew that he had to earn money to support his wife and children.

Su Juan’s questions were never answered, and she was bragged to.

But she had heard that Su Jinjun was taught military boxing by his brother-in-law every day. After teaching military boxing, he improved a lot and started working.

At first, Su Juan couldn't figure it out. But now that she saw her man in such a miserable state, Su Juan almost understood why Su Jinjun was willing to work back then. It was obviously because his brother-in-law had beat him up.

Now, this method was being applied to her man.

He was still her own man. Seeing how badly he was beaten, Su Juan went to get medicine to help him.

Ji Jianhe cried when he was touched.

“Don't pretend, I don't think there are any injuries.” Su Juan thought he had been beaten badly, but when he took off his clothes only two places were a little blue, and the other places were fine.

“You don't know, Ji Jianyun's moves are all so skilled. He knew how to fight when he was a child, and he was able to fight better after he returned from serving as a soldier. I was beaten to the ground after I couldn't even do two moves. He just went straight at me and kicked me. He didn’t show any sympathy. Don’t you see how miserable I am?” Ji Jianhe almost burst into tears.

He screamed miserably on purpose while on the mountain. His father was cooking pig food nearby, but he didn't even look at him. It was extremely cruel.

Not only that, but when he went down the mountain, he went to his father's place to show him how badly he was beaten. When his father saw it, he said, “Practice with your third brother, he doesn’t mind. He can’t let his skills get rusty.”

Listen, is this my father?

As for his mother, forget it. He took ten yuan from her yesterday, and she looked at him as if she was carrying a knife. Thus he turned back and cried to his wife.

The consolation he expected was not there.

“For 30 yuan a month, you have to go. You have to go every day, and you will get used to it.”

This was what his soft-spoken wife said last night!

“All of you don't regard me as a human,” Ji Jianhe hugged the pillow and cried.

“What are you saying? Fine, I'll cook you something delicious for lunch,” Su Juan said.

Thus, lunch was pretty good. She started cooking by herself. She bought rice and noodles this morning and she didn't have to share it with that old woman.

Ji Jianhe started to sleep after eating, and Su Juan called out to him when he was almost asleep. “It's almost time—time to go up the mountain. Hurry up.”

“Juan, I'll go up again after I nap,” Ji Jianhe began to complain to her.

But it was useless, he was forced to get up. At half past six, Ji Jianhe went there and it seemed like he lost his will to live.

While Ji Jianhe’s side was gloomy, Su Danhong’s side had complaints. “You said that you are busy every day, why do you take time to train him? You have to wait until the work is done. Don’t do this when it’s winter.”

Ji Jianyun smiled. “Now that Su Zhumao and Xu Heshan have taken over, I'm fine, and it's good to practice.”

Su Danhong gave him a drink made of honeysuckle flowers. How could she not know what had happened? Ji Jianhe had separated and the couple were short on money, so Ji Jianhe came here.

His man arranged a job like this, but it wasn't like the way he dealt with her older brother back then.

After beating up Ji Jianhe in the morning, he would go to the reservoir to have a look, take a nap after lunch, go to the department store, and go to the field. He would still find time to teach Ji Jianhe, and she couldn’t stand it.

“Take Renren and Qiqi when you’re doing training tomorrow. Let them see that if they aren’t good, you will teach them like this,” Su Danhong said.

There was no reason to have a live target like this.
