Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 11: Grab Medicine




“Mother, get up! If she really dared to cheat, then of course you have to sort her out. But you have to make things clear first!” Su Danhong hurried to say.

Mother Su pinched second Su sister-in-law viciously a few times and made her face turn white with pain. However, she gritted her teeth and did not dare to cry out.

“Mother, look! Do you see how many good things I have brought for you here?” Su Danhong revealed.

It was only then that Mother Su noticed the pork meat and spare ribs in her hand and said, “You are a little filial!”

Su Danhong shoved them into her hands and supported her up to sit. She said, “What’s the matter? I was just outside when I heard you fighting. Aren’t you afraid of people passing by and letting them hear a joke?”

“Sister-in-law, you have to believe in second sister-in-law. Second sister-in-law did not do such a thing. I’m telling the truth!” Second Su sister-in-law exclaimed.

“Why don't you get lost and do the laundry?!” Mother Su glared and scolded.

Second Su sister-in-law wanted to say something else, but she saw how Mother Su’s eyes looked like she wanted to tear her apart. Thus, she went to the yard to wash the clothes that had fallen on one side like a defeated mouse.

“Mother, what's the matter? Can't you be nicer to second sister-in-law?” Su Danhong questioned. 𝔓𝔩𝔢𝔞𝔰𝔢 𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔡 𝔞𝔱 𝔣𝔬𝔵𝔞𝔥𝔬𝔩𝔦𝔠.𝔠𝔬𝔪

“Be nice to her? This old hen who can't lay eggs is eating for free. She hasn't laid an egg after joining the family for almost four years!” Mother Su gritted her teeth.

Su Danhong asked, “Mother, you're not scolding me, are you?”

She had joined the family for almost three years, and as Mother Su said, she hadn’t laid an egg.

Mother Su immediately said, “Why? Is it that person from the Lao Ji family who is picking on you? You don’t need to be afraid of her. Your situation is different from that stupid person. Ji Jianyun has only been back a few times over the years. Who can be blamed if you can't get pregnant?”

“Mother, don’t talk about me. What's wrong with second sister-in-law?” Su Danhong changed topics.

To tell the truth, Mother Ji was much kinder than her mother. When she first crossed over to this time period and the original owner hung herself over that matter, Mother Ji was so angry. It was only then that she said what she had not said during the past three years when she had never said it before.

However, she learned from the memories that her mother had started saying her second sister-in-law was a hen that could not lay eggs a year after she joined the family and was not pregnant.

“Isn’t this stupid person hooking up with the fool next door? If I didn’t catch her just now, then I wouldn’t have known this stupid person wanted to give your second brother a green hat. Your second brother goes out to help with the farming every day, and he always looked at her as the apple of his eye. Fuck, if I say two words to her, your second brother will not be happy. But she dared to do such a thing behind your second brother's back. Can you say mother can spare her?” Mother Su said viciously.

“That’s not possible, okay? Second sister-in-law is not that kind of person,” Su Danhong said without a second thought.

Her second sister-in-law was an amazing person. She did not give in to their eldest sister-in-law, who gave birth to her three children with a straight back. Yet, she would cower a lot in front of Mother Su. This was because she had been married for four years, and just the year before last, her mother wanted her second brother to be divorced from her second sister-in-law.

Yes, in this day and age, leaving had a new name. It was called divorce.

However, her second brother and sister-in-law refused to divorce, so her mother had no choice but to stop thinking about it for a while. Since then, her second sister-in-law no longer dared to be too presumptuous and rushed to do a lot of work. She just didn't want to divorce her second brother.

No matter if it was in her previous life or in this life, men did not lose much in divorce, but it was a fatal blow to women. Even here, they had to be meticulous to death.

And her second brother treated her really well.

How could a person as skilled as her second sister-in-law give her mother dirt to kick her out of the family? It just couldn’t be that she cheated and cheated with the fool from next door.

“What do you mean not that kind of person? She heard from those gossipers in the village that the goods under the fool were thick and long, so she had an itch and wanted to borrow seeds from him. She thought I didn't know!” Mother Su scolded.

It was hard for Su Danhong to hear these words and said, “Mother, can you stop saying such vulgar words?” It’s too disgusting!

She could hardly sit still and wanted to go back!

Mother Su rolled her eyes and said, “Why are there so many hypocrites? I'm not talking about you. What happened to you last time? I heard you hanged yourself? Why did you hang yourself? Is it worth it for an omelet? This old mother doesn’t even have the face to go over and get even with the Lao Ji family!”

Speaking of this, Su Danhong said, “That’s why I now know I'm wrong. Mother, don't worry. I'll learn well, and I won't embarrass you in the future.”

Mother Su said, “That's more like it!”

She added, “But you have to hold on. Don't be too filial to those two in the Lao Ji's family. They have three other daughter-in-laws!”

Father Ji and Mother Ji gave birth to a total of five. Feng Fangfang, that side, was the oldest. Ji Mudan was the second. Ji Jianyun was the third oldest. Below was her fourth brother-in-law, who taught in Jiangshui City. He married a teacher in the city and gave birth to a daughter the year before last. They hired a nanny to take care of her, and he had the best conditions among fellow teachers.

Finally, there was Su Danhong’s sister-in-law. The girl was in high school in the city, and she would take the college entrance examination next year. She lived at her fourth brother's house, but she usually didn’t come back. In Su Danhong’s impression of her, this little sister-in-law treated her, the third sister-in-law, as a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes1. In any case, Su Danhong didn’t like her very much. When this sister-in-law spoke, it was about how fourth sister-in-law was good or how fourth sister-in-law was capable.

That’s why the original owner didn’t have much of an impression of this sister-in-law.

“Mother, this is my business. You don't have to worry about it,” Su Danhong said.

Wasn’t there a saying “the sons will starve his father to death2”? Her mother's theory was almost like this.

“I’ll talk to second sister-in-law about this matter. Mother, you can chop up the meat here first, and then count it so that you don't let eldest sister-in-law steal it again,” Su Danhong said.

Su Danhong had received the memories of the original owner, and did not have much of a good opinion on eldest Su sister-in-law. Who asked eldest Su sister-in-law to look down at people with her nostrils all the time by giving birth to three grandchildren to the Lao Su family? And she’s a crafty stealer that evades responsibility. A year ago, when she ate something, she falsely accused Su Danhong, which made Su Danhong so angry that she almost scratched her on the spot.

When she came out, second Su sister-in-law, who was washing her family's clothes, spoke up, “Sister-in-law, have you made it clear to your mother? How can I go and cheat?”

Su Danhong frowned and looked at her red blistering hands soaked in cold water on a freezing day. She sighed in her heart. Sure enough, it was not easy for a woman no matter where she was.

“Mother just doesn't understand why you got in touch with the fool next door,” Su Danhong stated.

Su Danhong and this second sister-in-law had a bit of a revolutionary friendship because they did not like eldest Su sister-in-law.

“I…” Second Su sister-in-law said this and just stopped talking.

“It’s obvious what mother’s temper is like about you. If you don't make it clear, then she will regard you as a cheater. When the second brother comes back, she will definitely make a fuss,” Su Danhong said.

She catered to her mother's temper. It’s why she brought the meat back. If she didn’t, her second sister-in-law would still be beaten.

“Are you going to say it? If you don't say it, can I go?” Su Danhong asked.

Second Su sister-in-law said at once, “Sister-in-law, you have to believe me! I just went to ask him to grab some medicine for me to boil when I saw that he was going to town!”


  1. 鼻子不是鼻子,眼睛不是眼睛 (bízi bùshì bízi, yǎnjīng bùshì yǎnjīng) – way of saying dislike
  2. 子多饿死父 (zi duō è sǐ fù) – tldr: it doesn’t matter how many sons you have if they are not filial and will let you starve to death. Long version: A couple has 9 sons and adopts their last son, letting them have ten sons in total. The couple grows old and accumulates a lot of land that they give to each of their children. However, the only unmarried and youngest adopted son gets the least amount of land. The brothers agree that their parents will take turns eating at each of their homes. The wife passes away, and the father continues to go to each home for dinner. Eventually, the sons get tired of their father and prepare poor meals. One New Year’s Eve, the father is waiting for his sons to invite him for the New Year’s Eve dinner. He waits and no one shows up. Finally, his youngest son shows up since he happened to return home to handle some business and invites him for dinner. The next day, the father makes each of the unfilial sons transfer over some of their land to the filial son.
