Chapter 25: More Than a Dozen Dishes Here, But You Still Can’t Keep Your Mouth Shut?
Su Danhong thought about how she still had the “A Hundred Birds Paying Respect to the Phoenix” in her hand, and it was estimated to be about 3,000 yuan.
This money should be enough to buy a good house, right?
“Danhong, why don't you talk?” Ji Mudan saw that she was in a trance and asked.
"No, I was just thinking, I don’t know if I gave any money or not. It's best if I didn't give any. If I did, then I won't get it back,” Su Danhong replied.
Ji Mudan and Feng Fangfang’s expressions were ugly. This was the real truth. It's best if they didn’t give any. If they did, what could they do? How would they get it back?
“Quickly, let’s get ready,” Su Danhong stated.
The three of them were busy in the kitchen. As for Yun Lili, whether she came or not, it was better if she did not come. She would lose her patience if she was called to come.

“Third brother, I will be taking the college entrance exams next year and I may have to buy more study materials,” Ji Yunyun said to Ji Jianyun.
“Yeah, you should study well.” Ji Jianyun looked at her and nodded.Ji Yunyun suddenly did not look well. It costs money to buy study materials. How can I buy any if you don't give me money?
“If you go in and help your sister-in-laws, wouldn’t each year’s material cost less?” Mother Ji knew what her daughter was trying to say, so she said it.
Ji Yunyun scoffed, “How will there be enough money from the three of them? Why should I go there? I don't need to make myself more annoyed!”
It must have been instigated by Su Danhong! Otherwise, how could her third brother not pay? There used to be ten yuan every year!
Ji Jianyun continued to talk to Ji Jianguo, Ji Jianye and Ji Jianwen. He didn’t take her words seriously.
The things in the past were the past. His wife was better now and sensible, but his sister didn’t have any respect at all, which he was not used to.
Ji Yunyun saw that her third brother really ignored her and did not give her money. She was so angry that she went in to find her fourth sister-in-law.
“Jianyun, don't worry about that girl. The older she gets, the more childish she is,” Mother Ji said to Ji Jianyun.
Ji Jianyun chuckled.
“Lao San’s wife is sensible this year,” Father Ji said.
Ji Jianyun nodded and said, “Father, I know. I will live a good life with my wife.”
His father would never say such things, but this time he praised his wife's sensibility in front of the four brothers. It showed that his wife really did her part and moved his father.
When Ji Yunyun entered the room, Yun Lili asked her, "Why are you so angry?"
“It’s that fox charmer. Fourth sister-in-law, it's not that you don't know it’s her. In the past, third brother would give me ten yuan when he came back, but this year he was bewitched by that fox charmer. I asked him for it, but he didn’t give it to me!” Ji Yunyun cried angrily.
Yun Lili's thoughts were also stuck in her breath, but she could not show it. She said, “With that said, how did Su Danhong change the way she looked? What has she done? Did she spend a lot of money?”
The red envelope had ten cents. That was pretty much the same amount as in the city. In the country, It was considered good for a red envelope to have three cents.
“Who knows if she was possessed by a fox immortal to do embroidery? Everyone in the village tried to learn from her, but none of them learned it. She is eating this bowl of rice alone. She occasionally takes the embroidery to the embroidery shop in the town to sell. I heard that one embroidery piece costs 100 yuan, and that she can embroider it in half a month!” Ji Yunyun was full of jealousy and ranted.
“100 yuan for one piece of embroidery? If you can embroider two pieces of embroidery in a month, then that's 200 yuan?” Yun Lili's eyes widened.
How much did she and her husband earn? It was only 19.87 yuan each!
“Don't be so surprised, fourth sister-in-law. I don't know if it's true, I just heard it from outsiders,” Ji Yunyun said.
Yun Lili knew that this so-called embroidery could really be sold at a high price, but the most important part was that Su Danhong could embroider. Yun Lili didn’t know she had this ability.
“Has she learned to embroider before?” Yun Lili asked. She had only visited a few times in recent years, so she was not very clear.
“Learn what before? She said that she secretly learned over the years, but who knows what is really going on?! I think she has been possessed by an immortal fox!” Ji Yunyun whispered.
Yun Lili gave her a side glance. “You’ve studied until high school. How can you still believe that?”
“I don’t believe it either, but see, fourth sister-in-law, how can she appear like a fox charmer if she hasn't been possessed by an immortal fox? My school has so many delicate beauties that can’t compare. Her skin is like water,” Ji Yunyun explained.
Yun Lili had seen it just now. She appeared so delicate that she almost didn't recognize her.
Was this the unkempt and greasy-faced Su Danhong from before? When Yun Lili approached her to take the red envelope, she had a pleasant fragrance. She didn’t know what shampoo she used, but it must be very expensive!
“Yunyun, don't go against her. Right now everyone is on her side, even third brother-in-law. If you do this again, there won't be any benefits,” Yun Lili rolled her eyes and said.
Ji Yunyun asked, “Do you really want me to lower my head and admit my mistake to her?”
“How is that wrong? What I mean is you should benefit from it or you'll pay for it,” Yun Lili clarified what she meant.
No one knew what these younger sister-in-laws talked about. When Ji Yunyun came out, she was smiling and went to the kitchen to help. Feng Fangfang was blunt and asked her to take the dirty water and pour it out.
“Your third brother is really skilled to be able to catch a pheasant in the mountains. Was there a big plate of meat today?” Aunt Xu saw her and asked.
Although life was much better these days, not every household could eat meat every day. During the New Year, there was meat to eat, but not much.
Ji Yunyun was surprised. “Pheasant? No?”
“Then your third brother didn't bring it over. A lot of people saw him take the pheasant back.” Aunt Xu chuckled and left.
Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth in anger. Fine! They got a pheasant and hid it for themselves to eat, but still came over here to freeload a meal!
When she entered the kitchen, she didn't ask about it. When the entire family was at the table, Ji Yunyun struck with the question: “Third sister-in-law, I just heard Aunt Xu say that you and third brother went up to the mountain to hunt for pheasants. Why didn't you chop up a piece, stir fry it, and bring it over?”
As soon as these words came out, the whole table quieted down.
There was a twinkle in Feng Fangfang’s and Ji Mudan’s eyes, as well as Yun Lili’s eyes, when they looked at Su Danhong.
Su Danhong welcomed their gaze and smiled faintly at Ji Yunyun. She said, “I stewed that pheasant. Your third brother went through the wind and rain to come back. I didn’t bring it over since I was going to give it to him for nourishment when we go back.”
She brought half of the food on the table, but Ji Yunyun still wanted to make trouble?!
“There are more than a dozen dishes here, but you still can’t keep your mouth shut.” Mother Ji glared at her daughter who was looking for trouble.
Ji Yunyun could hardly stay seated. She is still so wild to be hiding something!
Ji Jianyun took out a bottle of alcohol and smiled at his father and three brothers. “Father, oldest brother, second brother, Jianwen, let's have a good drink tonight.”
“Okay.” Ji Jianguo, Ji Jianye, and Ji Jianwen smiled, while Father Ji nodded.
