Chapter 85 – Attitude Towards Third Sister-In-Law
Su Danhong looked at him with resentment.
“Honey, I… I forgot that you can’t eat spicy food,” Ji Jianyun said and immediately felt very guilty.
”It doesn’t matter. Tomorrow, you will go fishing and make me fish balls!” Su Danhong put down her chopsticks and demanded.
“Okay!” Ji Jianyun responded swiftly.
Su Danhong did not want to argue with him, but how could he make delicious food and not think about his wife? He needed to be taught a lesson!
At first, Su Danhong did not want to eat. The fish looked a little unappetizing. She never thought that her Jianyun’s skills would be that good, but the fried fish balls were very delicious.
She ended up wanting to eat it.
So it couldn’t be said that Ji Jianyun had delicious food and didn’t think about his wife. It was her who said she didn’t want to eat the moment she saw it…
But Jianyun adored his wife and naturally had to let her have her dignity, so he coaxed her.
His wife, who had been properly coaxed by him, went back to her room to embroider.
Ji Jianyun fried a large pot of fish balls and it looked like there were about five or six jin of it. He gave half a jin to Aunt Yang. While it was hot, he took some to the mountain to give Father Ji a taste. He also brought two jin to the old Ji’s place for Mother Ji. He ate the rest by himself.
Over at the old Ji family’s, Ji Yunyun ate the delicious fried fish balls and exclaimed,  “These fried fish balls taste better than they did before. But third brother likes spicy food too much and added too many chili peppers. It would be even better without the chili peppers.”
“You’re criticizing it as you’re eating it,” Ji Jianwen said with a smile. “If it was up to mother, we wouldn’t have these fried fish balls. It uses a lot of oil.”
In addition to his mother, he was also unwilling to do this. It wasted too much oil.
But other than that, it tasted really good.
Yun Lili ate some and wondered, “How much did third brother-in-law fry? Third sister-in-law doesn’t seem to be allowed to eat spicy food.”
“Third elder brother must have saved a lot for himself. I saw him use a lot of fish,” Ji Yunyun replied immediately.
“Third brother likes this, so we should just enjoy it too. Just stop talking about it,” Ji Jianwen said to them.
How could he not know what these sisters-in-law meant? This was delicious, and they wanted more.
Yun Lili did not speak anymore, but Ji Yunyun pouted and remarked, “Since third brother married that woman, he has become very stingy!”
She had not been given a penny since last year. How was he still the third brother who secretly gave her money in the past?
As Ji Yunyun spoke, she completely forgot that her third brother still gave her ten yuan a few days ago when they went shopping.
Ji Jianwen frowned and reprimanded, “Yunyun, watch your mouth! That’s third sister-in-law!”
Incidentally, Ji Jianwen was not happy with his third sister-in-law in the past. She was so fussy and she would make a commotion over small matters, and the entire family did not have it easy.
But during New Year’s last year, his third sister-in-law took the 400 yuan to calm down the situation for how he had borrowed 500 yuan from his parents to buy an apartment. Since then, he had changed his mind about third sister-in-law.
Aside from these personal matters, there was how his third brother had retired from the army.
Among his older brothers, he was most grateful towards his third brother. He knew that he was pretty much provided for by his third brother’s soldier salary. When he heard that his third brother had lost his job, he became worried about whether he could find his third brother a job in Jiangshui city.
Unlike other people’s wives, if he had lost his job as a teacher, he would definitely have endless arguments with his wife.
Family pressure, marital pressure, unemployment pressure. Each of these came one after another, and he did not dare to think too much about it.
But he admired how his third sister-in-law handled these pressures when he thought she would eventually leave his third brother,
He really admired how she was not disappointed by how her husband lost a secure job, and continued to take good care of him. How did he seem so strong when he had to recover from a serious injury like that?
He quietly asked his third brother if there was any lingering pain, but he smiled and told him no.
His third brother has always been reserved, and he became even more serious after he got married. How could he be like this now?
He looked more energetic, but also more active. It was also obvious his complexion was better.
And who was to be given recognition for all of this?
He only believed that it was through third sister-in-law’s efforts.
Third brother was done being a soldier, and third sister-in-law had become his solid support. And look at that orchard. Whose should be commended for that? And there were those sheeps and those chickens.
The orchard’s management had been remarkable. Needless to say, his third brother’s family was going to make a fortune come spring next year.
Third brother had a son, his career thriving with each passing day, so who did he have to acknowledge for how this situation would turn out this way?
It was just like the people in the village said, it was all because of his sister-in-law’s ability to bring prosperity to her family!
Therefore, it was unquestionable that his third sister-in-law had a place in his thoughts.
Ji Jianwen frowned when he heard the disgust in his sister’s tone.
Ji Yunyun saw that her fourth brother was also protecting that woman, and immediately became unhappy. She confronted him, “What did I say? Why are you even siding with that woman now, fourth brother? Why are you even siding with that woman now, fourth brother? When I went over the other day, she had a big black dog in her house, and she kept me from leaving for a while! I was so scared to death by that big black dog!”
“Are you speaking badly of your third sister-in-law again?” Mother Ji immediately questioned as soon as she heard what her daughter had said after she came back from delivering fish to their neighbor.
Ji Jianyun had given them two. They ate one, and sent the other to their neighbor, who had a good relationship with them.
With neighbors like that in a village, why else would there be the saying “distant relatives are not as dear as close neighbors”?
“Don’t tell me I’m wrong!” Ji Yunyun was upset.
“Your third sister-in-law had already explained it to me. She was taking care of Renren’s diaper when you announced yourself. Who was more urgent: you or Renren? Did Da Hei try to bite you? It’s just a small thing and you’re making it a big deal. Your third sister-in-law brought so much delicious food that you put into your stomach, so why don’t I ever see you say something nice about her?” Mother Ji lectured her.
Ji Yunyun’s eyes started to water. She snorted and went inside. She had stopped eating the fried fish balls.
“Mother, don’t say that to Yunyun…”
Yun Lili was about to speak up when Mother Ji said, “She’s an adult. As her sister-in-law, you shouldn’t always spoil her. We’re used it since we’re family, but when she gets married will her in-laws be used to it?”
Yun Lili felt singled out.
Ji Jianwen agreed and nodded, “What mother said is right.”
Ji Yunyun, this girl, could no longer be spoiled after eating the fried fish balls brought by her third brother and speaking ill of her third sister-in-law.
At this moment, she was in her room. She had come to a realization about this and was crying. Yun Lili went in.
“Mother, try it. These are the fried fish balls third brother brought over. It’s very tasty,” Ji Jianwen said with a grin.
“Your third brother likes to eat that. Did he add chili peppers to it?” Mother Ji took a fish ball and asked.
