Chapter 129 – Between Sisters-In-Law
As soon as Ji Yunyun said this, Su Danhong didn’t say anything, but Father Ji and Mother Ji’s complexion didn’t look very good. Mother Ji, in particular, glared at her daughter and asked, “So the mango isn’t enough for you?”
Ji Yunyun looked up and saw her mother’s expression that pretty much wanted her to zip it. Although she was afraid, she was even more annoyed. However, she softened her words and said, “Mother, I’m just saying. I don’t mean anything else.”
“Didn’t you go work during your summer vacation? You can buy what you want to eat. When your third brother was busy in the orchard, we didn’t see you come back to help. You’re only concerned when it comes to food,” Mother Ji criticized.
It was the New Year. Mother didn’t want to make this into an ugly fight, but she was also dissatisfied with this young girl. She was spoiled and an adult now, but how could she be so ignorant?
Su Danhong was such a nice person. In order to make the elders happy, they not only added two meat dishes, but also carried over such a large bag of mangos to eat after dinner. Everyone was very happy to eat it. But it just so happened that this daughter came to find trouble!
Couldn’t she see that among the four sisters-in-law, her third sister-in-law was the kindest? Lao Da’s wife and Lao Er’s wife cause trouble over a little bit of food. Lao Si’s wife couldn’t bear to bring anything back for the New Year.
After that, what could she expect?
Did she expect her third sister-in-law to take care of her in the future?
“How can a mother say that about her own daughter? I’m not greedy for food. Third sister-in-law also knows this, right?” Ji Yunyun looked directly at Su Danhong.
Su Danhong glanced at her and said indifferently, “What Yunyun said is fine. I’ll ask your third brother to bring you some later.”
“Danhong, you don’t have to worry about this girl,” Mother Ji immediately said.
“It’s all right. It’s just an orange. If Yunyun wants to eat it, then let her eat it. I can eat less.” Su Danhong smiled.
“Isn’t that great?” Ji Yunyun remarked with a smile.
Ji Jianyun looked at his sister and said, “It’s terrible. It’s fine if you eat less, but your sister-in-law is pregnant. She should eat more.”
Ji Yunyun did not expect her third brother to say such a thing. She looked at her third brother in disbelief and questioned, “Third brother, are you still my brother?”
“You know for yourself whether you regard me as your brother or not,” Ji Jianyun said.
“Third brother, I didn’t say anything about her. Isn’t it just an orange? If you don’t eat it, then don’t. Who cares?” Ji Yunyun cried, and went back to her room.
“This girl!” Mother Ji was obviously very angry.
“Mother, you don’t have to worry. She’s an adult. When she gets married she will learn and naturally know what is right or wrong,” Su Danhong said.
She did not say this because she was waiting to see what drama Ji Yunyun would bring. This was the truth.
Ji Yunyun didn’t listen to anyone. She was the youngest in her own family. She was willful. She was 20 years old this year, and would marry in another year or two at most.
Once she’s married, how could she still live like this?
Did she think she could be willful whenever she wanted to? When that time came, Ji Yunyun would come back crying.
“Danhong, don’t bother with that girl. She just hasn’t learned from her mistakes. She’ll know when she loses money!” Mother Ji said to her.
“Mother, I don’t care,” Su Danhong stated.
After that, she discussed planting strawberries and watermelons next year with Mother Ji.
Mother Ji immediately ignored what had just happened with her daughter and told her about the plan.
Last year, Mother Ji made a lot of money. Whether it was strawberry or watermelon, it tasted good and sold very well.
So this year she was going to grow more. In any case, there was so much empty land.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked a lot, while the other three daughters-in-law were somewhat neglected. They might chime in and become silent again. As for the children, they were unbelievably happy to have mangos.
As for men, there’s more to say.
After all, they were also brothers. Although there were some small misunderstandings because of their wives, it was New Year’s Evenand everyone wanted the year to end well, right?
As for Ji Yunyun, nobody cared about her, and she was sulking in her room.
When she came out to drink water, she heard her second sister-in-law asking Su Danhong, “Danhong, are you having a second child?”
“Yes, the fine will be several hundred yuan when the child is born,” Su Danhong explained.
How could she not know what Ji Mudan was trying to say? Her response showed that she could pay the fine, so she wanted to have a baby. As long as you can pay the fine you could have another child!
In fact, Ji Mudan’s family had already done it once, but they were helped by Father Ji and Mother Ji. After giving birth to Xiaozhen, she wanted to have a son. However, after giving birth to Xiaoyu, she did not give birth any more.
Ji Mudan felt uneasy when saw how Su Danhong’s first child was a son and she wanted to have a second child.
As soon as Ji Yunyun came out and heard that she had to pay a fine of several hundred yuan, she was immediately jealous.
So much money was being used by this woman to have a child. If it was given to her, then she could have a decent dowry!
“Speaking of a second child, our parents gave a lot of money for the fines when second sister-in-law gave birth to a second child!”
At that moment, Yun Lili spoke up.
As soon as this was said, Ji Mudan knew that it was going to be bad. Back then, Father Ji and Mother Ji gave a lot.
“Lili, this is not the time!”
Ji Jianwen immediately shot a warning.
Yun Lili wanted to throw a fit. However, when she saw her man’s eyes, she knew that if this topic became blown out of proportion tonight, they might have a big fight.
It’s not worth causing so much trouble because of outsiders!
Yun Lili smiled and said, “I know. I’m just saying. We’re all family and things happen, so there’s no need to make a big deal about it, right? Second sister-in-law, don’t you think what I said is reasonable?”
Yun Lili couldn’t lose to anyone in terms of lip service!
Her words were equivalent to slapping Ji Mudan, but she could only smile cheerfully at her. “What Lili said was true. I was too thoughtless for my family with what had happened before.”
“It doesn’t matter. Everyone is family after all, and this time I’ve made a mistake. When there’s something wrong, we should talk about it between sisters-in-law in private. Doesn’t starting a fight make our parents upset? I’m young, so there’s some things I don’t understand. I need my sisters-in-law to teach me more,” Yun Lili said.
What was said was very modest, but the truth was shots had been fired, and none of it was with any mercy!
Su Danhong saw that Father Ji and Mother Ji’s moods were about to be affected, so she said, “You didn’t come back with fourth brother-in-law this year during the orchard’s harvest period. The fruits were all very delicious. This year, I was too busy and didn’t think of it, but next year, when Jianyun goes to Jiangshui City’s market to sell them, I will send you some to try.”
Since Su Danhong changed topics, it would not be good for her to go back to it. Although she doesn’t like Su Danhong, she was more generous than the other two. If she wanted to send fruits to her family, then she would not refuse.
Yun Lili said with a smile, “It just so happens that this year I opened a cram school and had to advertise it. Otherwise, I would really like to come back and work as a harvester for third sister-in-law.”
