Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: The Generous Uncle

Indeed, Ge Dejun, like he never tired of it, shared the embarrassing story about Chiang Xiao on the mountain again, making Liu Pei and Ge Xiaotong burst into loud laughter.

Meanwhile, Chiang Songhai put away the badger and discreetly went to the kitchen, telling Ge Liutao, ”Little has agreed to the renting of the house.”

”Really?” Ge Liutao immediately looked at him with joy.

”Of course, she gets along well with De Jun and Xu Linjiang. Once they persuaded her, Little agreed,” Chiang Songhai mentioned this with a trace of sourness in his heart.

”Isn’t it a good thing that they get along well?”

Their prompt decision to firmly rent a house and move into town came through because Ge Liutao had spent half the day helping Liu Pei and Ge Xiaotong tidy up their house and doing handcrafts, which suddenly made her fond of this kind of life.

Being away from the Old Chiang Family, with no constant quarreling, no periodic insults and conflicts, being able to earn some money quietly to support her family, Ge Liutao felt that this was a life she had never lived before. She truly felt very happy about it.

It was only through comparison that she realized how truly suffocating her past life had been.

Hearing her express this, Chiang Songhai felt very guilty. Only now did he realize how much hardship he had made her endure, tolerating his older brother’s family all these years. She had never known a lighthearted moment.

Since she was willing to move in, he was naturally in favor of it.

Just right, with eight rooms, barring the one Chu Liang was living in and locked up, and another one being the kitchen, their family would each rent three rooms, sharing the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.

There was just one courtyard between the two households, which gave them a little bit of space and ensured they weren’t crammed together.

Today, they had already organized everything they lacked into one room. They had wiped down the other rooms and mopped the floors. However, since only three rooms had beds, if they were all to move in, they had to buy their own beds and some additional furniture.

Chiang Xiao noticed that the room they used as a storeroom was the very one the Head Chief’s Wife had been confined in, which relieved her.

After all, that room had a vibe of being occupied by an old person and she felt it was somewhat gloomy. She didn’t like it much.

In fact, Chiang Xiao also felt a bit of delight now; she finally had her own room with a door! She certainly had to buy a new bed for herself. The others didn’t mind, so the three beds were distributed: one to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao’s room, while the remaining two beds went to Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang, one for each room, which was perfect.

In the afternoon, Liu Pei had already gone out to buy two sets of bedding and pillows. The beds were wiped clean, and once the bedding was spread out, it looked like the beginning of a settled-down home.

Liu Pei was very grateful to Chiang Xiao for this.

Without Chiang Xiao leading them to make money, how could they afford to rent a house? How could they buy bedding?

So, during the meal, she kept picking the best pieces of meat into Chiang Xiao’s bowl, urging her to eat more.

Ge Dejun, while eating, declared with a bit of lofty ambition, ”Tomorrow, I will go find a carpenter to make a new bed for Little’s room, and a little dressing table too, yes, and a wardrobe. Xiao Tong, you mustn’t be polite with your uncle. These items, consider them gifts from me!”

Pfft.

Was he planning to spend all his earnings in one go?

Chiang Xiao was very touched, but she didn’t accept.

”Uncle, I won’t accept it. Save your money. Later, see if you can open a small shop with Auntie and start a business. I just need a wooden plank bed and a desk for now. We can do without the dressing table and wardrobe, it won’t cost much.”

She had no intention of settling down in Peace Town for the long term.
