Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Ji Jianyun laughed when he heard what Father Laidi said. “The crops all depend on fertilizer. I have chicken manure from several chicken farms, so how else would I be able to grow the crops in this field?”

Father Laidi nodded. He knew about the chicken farms. He used to raise pigs, and they also provided fertilizers.

“It must be something to do with the fertilizer.” Father Laidi agreed.

After that, Father Laidi took charge of the tasks. He got used to it. Although he basically didn’t have any free time since he started working, he ate very well.

When he was at home, he could only eat a few meals with meat in a month. Here, they had meat every day. Even if there was no meat, there were fish and eggs. The food was much better than at home. With the extra five yuan saved from having food at work, he could save up for his only son’s future wife. How great was that?

So day by day, if there was any work to be done, he would do it well without even having to ask Ji Jianyun.

Su Anbang came over to see him. He was happy to see that his father-in-law was in good spirits.

“The food at the boss's place is very good. I think it's only been a few days, and father looks a lot more energetic,” Su Anbang said to his wife when he came back.

Li Laidi was happy after hearing this and said with a smile, “I heard that the feng shui is good over there, so it will be good if he stays there.”

Li Laidi hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your mother is coming over this afternoon.”

“Is she here to ask for money?” Su Anbang asked calmly after hearing this.

“Don't worry, I didn't give her any,” Li Laidi replied.

Su Anbang nodded. He picked up his daughter, and said, “Our money will be saved to build a house and be used as a generous dowry for our daughter. As long as she doesn't starve to death, we don't need to worry about anything else.”

He still remembered what happened when he was younger. After he took a wife, he had no money and couldn't even eat. He went to borrow some food from his mother. She scolded him without saying anything nice, and finally said she wouldn’t give him a grain of rice.

His fifth aunt couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she brought him a bag of grains. It was his fifth aunt who connected him to a job. When the family was going through hard times, she would bring him a few eggs from time to time. When his wife was pregnant, the eggs she ate were brought over from his mother-in-law, or occasionally sent by his fifth aunt.

His mother was still eating meat at that time, and he couldn't even get a grain of rice.

When his daughter was born, she was as skinny as a little monkey. He couldn't bear to look at her. Her body was not in good shape. Was it because she had nothing to eat?

Fortunately, Sister Danhong brought chickens and a lot of eggs over. His wife had enough to eat during her confinement period and produce enough milk.

Now his family's life has improved. As long as he worked hard for his pay every month, he could save a lot.

Since his family's situation was much better, was she coming over to ask for money? Meat was not that cheap. His wife was reluctant to eat meat a few times a month. She would buy about a jin of meat and make him eat it. She would say she wouldn’t eat it, so he had to stuff it into her mouth so she could only swallow it.

Why were they saving so much? That’s because they were afraid of being poor again!

His wife was afraid of when she didn’t even have enough porridge and water. Even though her husband had a stable income now and the family had nearly 400 yuan in savings, she was reluctant to spend it. That’s why she saved it all!

And yet, his mother was coming to ask for money. She wasn't old yet and he wasn’t going to support her. They might be able to discuss it when she is actually old!

After coaxing his wife for a while, Su Anbang went over and had a fight with his older brother. This made his mother very angry.

But Su Anbang didn't care at all. This fight would make his wife feel at ease for a while, so it was worth it.

The days passed into the golden autumn of October. Su Danhong’s belly started to grow at the fifth month. It was like it was swollen, and it grew very fast.

She kept eating. She didn’t have a lot to do at home every day, so she made food for herself all day long. After eating, she took her two sons for a walk and watered everything from the spiritual spring water.

She ate well and exercised, so she looked very good.

Today, Su Danhong was going to eat pork ribs and lotus root soup. Ji Jianyun went shopping early in the morning and came back with four ribs and a large piece of pork belly.

“We are fortunate our pork was sold quickly,” Ji Jianyun said when he came back.

“What happened?” Su Danhong asked.

“Now it is less than a yuan.” Ji Jianyun said.

“After it drops for a while, let's buy some more and make bacon,” Su Danhong said.

She was already planning to make bacon. It lasted a long time and was delicious. If she made more and sold it, she would definitely make a fortune.

Ji Jianyun didn't know what his wife was thinking, but he thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.

At this time, many people in the village started to kill pigs. They heard what Ji Jianyun said about prices probably dropping this year. How long has it been? If the price dropped this much so far, how much would it drop during the New Year?

It wasn’t just the people in the village who killed their pigs. Yun Lili's second brother in Jiangshui City also started killing his pigs.

And he was also panicking.

By selling like this, he recovered his initial expense, and then earned ten or twenty yuan. But after working for so long, he only got this much money.

He couldn't accept it for a while.

When eldest brother Yun killed his pigs, he made a small profit of 100 yuan, and he recovered from the expenses.

His eldest brother also found a job earning 40 yuan a month. After two or three months, he made a lot of money.

Looking at himself instead…

“How about you go find sister-in-law and ask?” Second Yun sister-in-law asked.

“I was so mean to Yunyun. She called me several times. I can’t trouble her again, so I won't go,” second brother Yun said.

“Why would she care about this? Besides, her house was originally thanks to that 500 yuan. How else could she and Ji Jianwen be able to afford it?” Second Yun Sister-in-law asked.

“Don't mention the money from before. She has already paid it back in full,” he said with annoyance.

“If you don't go, then I will,” Second Yun sister-in-law said.

Second brother Yun was tempted, but he didn't let go of his dignity and ignored her.

Second Yun sister-in-law came over to see Yun Lili. It happened to be Saturday and there was no school.

Yun Lili's impression of this second sister-in-law was worse than that of her eldest sister-in-law.

When she went back home, did this sister-in-law even look at her? And she had no respect for her parents.

But since she was her second sister-in-law, Yun Lili was still relatively polite.

“This is your second aunt,” Yun Lili introduced her to Yan'er.

Yan'er called out second aunt, and second Yun sister-in-law praised her a few times. Yan'er then lowered her head and continued to do her homework.
