Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 263: Don’t Like to Use Unfamiliar Relatives to Work

After the county shop was established, Ji Jianyun came every day during the first week.

Once Ji Feng and his grandmother stabilized, he would ask someone else to make the deliveries.

They lived in the shop, and it met all their living conditions.

They were given a salary of 50 yuan a month. It was a lot for them, but for Ji Jianyun, it was a very good deal.

The shop's business wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad either. The net profit for a month was about 100 yuan. After deducting the salary, Ji Jianyun still had half left.

The money was not much for Ji Jianyun, but he didn't care. He simply wanted to buy more properties.

The third orchard was going to be established next year. By then, he would build a large chicken farm. It would be larger than the first orchard and the second orchard.

Father Ji and Mother Ji lived in the first orchard, which caused Ji Jianyun to raise too many and the smell was too much. Thus, they couldn’t raise more, just a few hundred total. The same was true in the second orchard. The difference was that the first orchard had 20 more sheep and the second orchard had ten pigs.

Ji Jianyun did not plan to raise anything else in the third orchard besides chickens.

Nowadays, life is relatively busy. The various fruits in the mountains were becoming increasingly abundant. Even though it was busy, Ji Jianyun still invited Butcher Li to come over and kill all ten of his pigs.

Butcher Li didn't understand. The pig was growing, so why did he want to kill it?

Ji Jianyun didn't hide it from him because Butcher Li had his own pigs. “The price is pretty good now, so I’ll just sell them. I'm afraid it will fall hard during the New Year.”

“There's no reason why the price of pork would fall during the New Year. Last year, the price of pork rose so high,” Butcher Li said.

“Last year was last year’s situation. The market situation will be different year by year. Uncle, if you trust me, you should kill the ones you have when you go back. Killing now will give you a profit,” Ji Jianyun advised.

The price of pork was still very high right now. A jin cost nearly 1.67 yuan, but this came down. Just a month ago, a jin of pork cost more than 2 yuan.

Ji Jianyun had a feeling that the price would drop each day.

So he had his pigs killed as early as possible.

The ten pigs were killed in three days, and they were all killed quickly. Some were kept for his family, and the rest were sold. The meat was sent to the college town where there was no need to worry about whether it would sell.

Many people in the village came to ask about it when they saw Ji Jianyun killing pigs. Ji Jianyun told them his opinions and killed them first.

One family trusted Ji Jianyun, so they each killed and sold all their pigs. They did whatever Ji Jianyun did!

There were other families who did not kill any.

The pigs were growing, so wouldn’t it be unfortunate to kill them?

Yun Lili called her mother again before her third brother-in-law killed the pigs. She had called her mother once before when Su Danhong mentioned it. This was the second call to ask her mother to kill the pigs.

But this time, her mother called her eldest brother to come and answer the phone.

“Brother, let me tell you, my third brother-in-law is going to kill his pigs tomorrow. All ten pigs will be killed. He is sure that the price will go down. You and second brother should kill the pigs quickly!” Yun Lili said.

She trusted her third brother-in-law. He made so many businesses on his own, so shouldn’t they trust his predictions?

“The price of pork dropped a lot, and we would lose too much by killing them now,” Eldest brother Yun said.

“Brother, you should listen to my third brother-in-law’s opinion. Kill them quickly. There are too many people who are thinking like you. By then, the market will be full of pork. Imagine how low the price of pork will be by then. You can still make some money by killing now, but if you don't kill, you will lose more by then!” Yun LIli explained.

Before eldest brother Yun came, he thought about telling her not to call to have the pigs killed. However, after hearing this phone call, he hesitated.

The third brother-in-law made so much money last year, maybe 10,000-20,000 yuan. This year he only raised ten pigs, and he killed them now. Was this really a sign?

When eldest brother Yun came back and said that, eldest Yun sister-in-law also hesitated.

This hesitation lasted for four or five days. During that time, the price of pork was still falling, but the decrease was relatively small. It was still 1.67 yuan a jin in Jiangshui City.

If they kill the pigs, they would be throwing away their hard for more than half a year. After throwing it away, they could only make a hundred yuan at most.

“How about we work harder and not kill them?” Eldest Yun sister-in-law gritted her teeth and asked.

Eldest brother Yun shook his head decisively.“No, let’s kill them!”

He thought that if the price of pork dropped to less than one yuan at the end of the year, then he would not even be able to make back his money. By then, he would really be bankrupt!

He went to find his second brother to kill them together.

“Brother, are you stupid? The pigs are growing fat, and you want to kill them?” Second brother Yun said unhappily.

Eldest brother Yun told him about his phone call with Yun LIli. Second brother Yun waved his hand. “You can go ahead if you want to, but I won't!”

So eldest brother Yun killed his pigs and made the calculations. After deducting the cost, he earned more than 100 yuan. This was considered very low since he had several pigs.

But for some reason, he felt calm after killing the pigs.

He returned the 250 yuan to his father. This was the initial money his parents gave him, and now it was returned.

Eldest Yun sister-in-law used to be busy raising the pigs every day and disliked the work. Now she no longer had to raise pigs and was free. She asked, “What kind of work are you looking to do now?”

“I heard Lili say that her third brother-in-law pays 40 yuan a month,” Eldest brother Yun replied.

“You want to go work in the countryside?” Eldest Yun sister-in-law asked immediately.

“What's wrong with the countryside? I think the countryside is the same as here!” Eldest brother Yun said angrily. “I’m going to go there and give it a try. If it works, I will have you come with me and our children can stay here and live with my parents.”

“Then you should call sister-in-law first,” Eldest Yun sister-in-law said.

She felt lucky that she gave respect to her younger sister-in-law before. If she didn’t, how could they call her?

When Yun Lili received the call, she was a little worried. It was a good thing that her eldest brother really killed the pig, but her eldest brother wanted to come and work at her third brother-in-law’s place. This…

“I'll go back and ask, but brother, please don't have too much hope. There are a lot of people already working there,” Yun Lili said.

“Okay, just go and ask,” Eldest brother Yun said.

Yun Lili was a bit embarrassed, since her eldest brother was unemployed now. Her eldest brother got married relatively young and had three children. There was no family planning at that time. With two sons and a daughter in school, the pressure to provide was big.

So Yun Lili went over to talk to Su Danhong.

Naturally, Su Danhong would not give her a committed answer. In fact, if it were up to her to make the decision, she would refuse without giving her a reason. She did not like to have unfamiliar relatives working for them.

She didn't know much about Yun Lili's eldest brother and sister-in-law either.

But since Ji Jianwen came back to return the 500 yuan, it was better to try and get along with his wife.

Otherwise, would Ji Jianwen really pay back the money?

Su Danhong only said, “I will talk to Jianyun when he comes back.”
