Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

The truck her family owned was a heavy-duty truck made in their country. It cost several thousand yuan. Based on the house prices at the time, it was almost enough to buy two houses.

However, a few years have passed, and the market was different. Su Danhong heard that there were now imported semi-trucks.

If it was imported, then it would be very expensive.

And it was the truck Ji Jianyun wanted to buy. He took the money and set off to the college town the next day. The imported semi-truck was only sold at the college town.

After saving enough money, Ji Jianyun set out in the morning and drove the brand new semi-truck back to the village around nine o'clock in the evening.

Even though it was late at night, it caused a commotion. Even those who had TVs at home stopped watching TV to go out and take a look at the imported truck.

After everyone looked for more than an hour, Ji Jianyun sent everyone away. It was already past ten o'clock when he closed the door.

However, Renren and Qiqi’s eyes were still bright as they looked at their family’s new large truck.

They were extremely happy.

Ji Jianyun carried the brothers up to sit in the driver seat for a while. When the brothers were satisfied, they went back to sleep.

“All the money was spent,” Ji Jianyun told his wife.

“I was afraid you didn’t have enough. The imported trucks are very expensive,” Su Danhong said.

“There was enough, but now there’s nothing left,” Ji Jianyun said.

When Su Danhong looked at this man, his eyes were as bright as his two sons. It was obvious that this man was very happy about buying this truck.

Men liked trucks and those kinds of things. It was in their nature. From Su Danhong's point of view, trucks and cars were amazing creations, but she basically had no interest in them.

They were just a means of transportation.

The next day, Father Ji and Mother Ji heard the news and came to take a look.

After seeing this big truck, the old couple felt quite emotional. Lao San had really made something of himself, and they didn't need to worry about him anymore.

In the past, Mother Ji would have said something to him, but now she came to terms with it. Her son's business was getting bigger and bigger. One truck was definitely not enough. It was much more convenient to have a second truck. The more freight that could be shipped, the more money could be earned.

So nothing was said.

The fact that Ji Jianyun bought another truck naturally caused a sensation in the village.

The richest man in the village was the village director's brother, who ran a brick factory. But even his family only had two trucks to transport bricks, but it couldn’t compare to Ji Jianyun's semi-truck.

Ji Guangming, the village director's brother, came over to ask Ji Jianyun about it.

Ji Jianyun saw that he was interested in buying one, so he didn't hide it. He told him the amount. Even though Ji Guangming's family was rich and he was one of the wealthier households in this area, he was shocked.

“What about the truck?” Ji Guangming asked.

“I don't know about those trucks now. I heard that the price has also increased a lot. You probably can't even buy one for 5,000,” Ji Jianyun said.

Ji Guangming asked him if he wanted to sell his old truck. Ji Jianyun smiled and replied, “I can still use it.”

Ji Guangming went back.

Ji Jianyun shook his head and didn’t think much of it. Both families were from the same village. They were from the same ancestor, but they were six or seven generations apart, so they were not close.

Ji Guangming had many workers under him, but how he treated his workers was not as good as him.

On other occasions, Ji Guangming came over to ask him not to raise the salaries to be so high. It made things awkward at the brick factory.

But Ji Jianyun didn't listen. How he wanted to pay his workers' salaries was his own business. There was no need to discuss it with Ji Guangming—what a joke.

Ji Guangming realized that Ji Jianyun wouldn’t budge, so he also raised the salaries of his workers. But it was obvious he had an issue with Ji Jianyun.

But Ji Jianyun didn’t acknowledge it. Ji Guangming's brick factory made quite a lot, but Ji Jianyun also made quite a lot. If real estate was included, Ji Guangming couldn’t match Ji Jianyun’s wealth.

Still, they were from the same village. It was best to keep things cordial since they still had a good relationship with the village director.

On the contrary, the village director’s relationship with Ji Guangming was quite average.

Ji Guangming's family condition was really good. They had TVs, radios, motorcycles, bicycles and all kinds of furniture. They were a truly wealthy family. His family also built a home. It was the only one in the village, which cost several thousand yuan and was quite expensive.

Right now, only his family had a two-story home in the surrounding area, and no other family had one.

Based on what Ji Jianyun understood, Ji Guangming had to buy a new truck. The brick factory was doing very well, but with only two trucks, how far could he go?

Many families needed bricks, but couldn’t get them in time, so they went to order from a different factory.

Especially this year, since two brick kilns have opened in the surrounding area. They were transporting the bricks in large imported semi-trucks!

What Su Danhong heard about was from the people working at the brick kilns.

But this was someone else's business, so Ji Jianyun didn’t care much. Anyway, with the new truck, he could ship a lot more.

For example, a lot of fish and shrimps from the reservoir were shipped out every day. They were very popular in the shops at the college town and Jiangshui City.

Over in Jiangshui City, Brother Yun personally checked the accounts every month since Su Danhong brought up that issue. If there were any discrepancies, he would go to Sister Yun and have her make up the difference, even if Sister Yun kept saying that she did not do it.

Yet, things would always be one or two yuan short every month. Brother Yun knew it, so he quietly covered the shortage himself.

So, throughout this year, when the accounts were sent to Su Danhong, it matched up, and they were allowed to continue to manage the shop.

The profit of that shop also improved a lot this year. It basically required deliveries every other day. More than one delivery trip being made was wasteful, so Ji Jianyun had Su Zhumao and Xu Heshan deliver more goods. In addition to restocking what was needed for the store, the rest was sold in the market, which was very cost-effective.

One day, Yun Lili called to chat with Su Danhong. She received two packages of red dates and wolfberries from Su Danhong. She called to say thank you and mentioned Ji Yunyun, who had not appeared in Su Danhong's life for a long time.

“Third sister-in-law, the last time I saw Ji Yunyun, she seemed to be pregnant. But she didn't look very good, and her complexion looked pale,” Yun Lili said.

“When did you see her? How far along is she?” Su Danhong nicely asked.

“Just two weeks ago. I saw her throwing up on the side of the road. She looked like she was pregnant,” Yun Lili said.

“Maybe she was not feeling well,” Su Danhong said without a concern.

The two sisters-in-law chatted for a while, and then hung up the phone after a while.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yun Lili packed up her things in the office and went home. She bought some groceries to cook with. However, she didn't expect to see Ji Yunyun at the gate of the community.

And Ji Yunyun looked like she was waiting for her!
