Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich - Chapter 133: Mother Su's Principle
Chapter 133: Mother Su’s Principle
Since Mother Su’s second son came to ask her about it, she didn’t hide anything from him and told him.
Su Jindang was bewildered. “They can wait until after the New Year celebrations to talk about it.”
“Don’t worry about them. Their fights are their own, so let’s celebrate on our own.” Mother Su didn’t mind at all.
Su Jindang said, “It’s a really good idea to go work for Jianyun. It’ll be great if eldest brother doesn’t cause any trouble. There are so many people over there. It’ll be terrible if he made the atmosphere bad.”
“So if your eldest sister-in-law can’t persuade your brother, then there’s no way I’ll let him do it. Does he really think money is so easy to earn?” Mother Su pointed out.
She was also planning on letting her son-in-law use force to make her eldest son change. She believed it would work with her son-in-law’s ability. She didn’t expect this good-for-nothing eldest son to achieve a lot, but he at least should not continue like this, right?
Su Jindang didn’t say anything. When he returned to the room, second Su sister-in-law asked, “What’s going on over there? Are we still going to celebrate this year?”
Unsurprisingly, she was unhappy. She lived in the town now and it had been a year since she came back. The other couple in the house were fighting, so weren’t they deliberately trying to make her feel uncomfortable? Moreover, she and Su Jindang were not staying long. Even if they were staying for longer, it should be normal and her family had a right to be in this house!
Su Jindang repeated what Mother Su said.
“Mother is being too much. Doesn’t she know what brother-in-law’s personality is like? If she makes him go work for Jianyun, then wouldn’t he cause trouble?” second Su sister-in-law said bluntly.
“She said it was Danhong and Jianyun’s idea,” Su Jindang replied.
“Then mother should refuse. Sister-in-law’s mountain is full of good workers. To put it more precisely, brother-in-law’s reputation is known throughout the village. What can he do if he goes over there? They work so well over there. He shouldn’t go there and affect their work,” second Su sister-in-law said.
She wasn’t trying to say that she couldn’t bear to see eldest Su sister-in-law live a better life. Wasn’t she just speaking the truth? Su Jinjun just had that kind of personality. Her brother-in-law and sister-in-law brought up that idea, but they should refuse it. *∞:。.。 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮 。.。:∞*
All in all, the workers over there were recruited to work, not to waste time and do nothing. Otherwise, since everyone had the same salary, why would they hire someone who would shirk from the work while the others had to work hard?
If this happened, then everyone would definitely have an opinion about it.
“Jianyun will not let it get that bad. If my eldest brother goes to his place and is lazy like that, then Jianyun will definitely take back his offer. He knows how to navigate the situation,” Su Jindang said.
Second Su sister-in-law saw that he also supported his brother, so she could not say anything and only frowned.
Now that her family’s life was better, she naturally hoped that the people around her could become rich too. But it also depended on who it was, right? If they were good people, then they could help them out once. For example, when Su Jindang drove to the countryside to collect vegetables, he liked to go to those families whose circumstances were not good. Some of them were orphans who didn’t have a lot of land. But if they could grow a little in their yard, they could earn a few cents. Su Jindang also didn’t go out of his way to pick up vegetables from other people.
Life was hard, so shouldn’t they help those in need?
This should be true for outsiders, and not just relatives.
And it also depended on if the relatives worked hard. If they didn’t, then they shouldn’t be given a chance.
For instance, when she went back to her maternal home this time, her mother tried her best to convince her to let her brother and sister-in-law help out in the shop. When they got familiar with the work, they could help out more later.
But second Su sister-in-law didn’t like that, and she didn’t agree to it. How could she not know what her brother and sister-in-law from her maternal family were like?
Who else would they turn to when they didn’t have enough money?
If she had agreed to it, then in the future, they would say that she had no heart. They would also say that as her brother and sister-in-law, they came to help her, so how could she suspect them of stealing money from her and so on.
Doing something like this would not be in her favor. Therefore, second Su sister-in-law firmly refused. Even if Su Jindang wanted to be kind and ask for her eldest brother’s daughter, who was around 12 years old, had not gone to school and was helping out at home, to help them out by taking care of Shitao in the shop, she did not agree.
Don’t say that she was heartless and didn’t have any care for them. Rather, that care had been chiseled away throughout the years. Now she led a better life and could bring Su Jindang back with her every year. Every time she went back, she would bring something and give five yuan to her parents. She was extremely filial, while her other two sisters never took anything back for them!
In second Su sister-in-law’s point of view, she knew how hard it was for her to have an easier life now. Therefore, she cherished her current lifestyle a lot. If anyone annoyed her or made her happy, she didn’t mind fighting them off!
Second Su sister-in-law wanted to talk to Su Danhong about this, but she didn’t end up doing it.
Su Jinjun was Su Danhong’s eldest brother. She would appear rude if she said something, so she said to Su Jindang, “When you visit her, tell sister-in-law that if brother-in-law doesn’t do the work, then have him come back. She shouldn’t make things inconvenient for herself now.”
“Yeah, I know.” Su Jindang nodded in response.
He really wanted to talk to Su Danhong about it. He didn’t want his brother to cause any trouble for his younger sister’s family.
The couple in the next room were still arguing.
But no matter how the fight went down, Su Jinjun relented in the end and said impatiently, “After the New Year celebrations are over, I’ll go there and see if it works out!”
“Hmph, you shouldn’t only go there just to see. You should also work hard for me. Otherwise, you won’t live a peaceful life in the future! I’m telling you now, I’m betting everything on you this time. If you don’t help me earn money, then I’ll turn the house upside down and I won’t let you live a peaceful life!” Eldest Su sister-in-law demanded coldly.
“You crazy woman! You better believe me, I will divorce you!” Su Jinjun shouted.
Eldest Su sister-in-law was not afraid of his empty threats, and sneered, “Divorce me? With your disgusting manners, do you really think you can marry again if you divorce me? Who would be willing to marry you? And do you think your mother would agree to it? She would break your legs first!”
Although Mother Su didn’t say it clearly, eldest Su sister-in-law was not stupid. She could also feel that Mother Su wanted her husband to go, but she was afraid that he would humiliate her.
After all, this mother-in-law loved showing off in front of her sister-in-law’s family. She knew how hard everyone worked in the orchard. When she went over there to work as a short-time worker, she had seen it firsthand. She scrambled to work hard and wanted Lao Ji’s family to see that so her family could get another chance to work there in the future.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were relatives, then would the Lao Ji family really give her husband a chance?
But thanks to the kindness of her sister-in-law, a chance came.
Moreover, the wages and benefits there are really good. Her mother-in-law promised to give her ten yuan a month. Eldest Su sister-in-law was so excited. It was 120 yuan a year. She thought that the yard could be renovated. There were several rich families in the village that had done renovations. They had big courtyards and she was jealous.
That was why her husband must work hard or else she was done with him!
Su Jinjun really wanted to slap the woman to knock some sense into her, but he saw how she looked and did not try to touch her.
Otherwise, his mother would really break his legs. With the way his mother was, she could beat his wife. However, as a man, a husband, and a father, he could never raise his hand.
That was his mother’s life principle.
