Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 805: Chapter 806: Coming to the Door

The effects of the Talisman Diagrams are not lasting, with those like this one that endure for half a year already considered long. Some Talisman Diagrams would decrease in effectiveness after being used a few times.

However, those she drew on beddings and pillowcases tended to maintain their effect for even longer.

Old Bai found this very surprising.

”There are such cups?”

”You can try it right now. Bring over an ordinary cup, and compare it with the same pot of water using two different cups.”

This was actually first discovered by Tyrant Meng.

Chiang Xiao felt that he left too suddenly. Otherwise, she would’ve given him a Peace Talisman. She didn’t know how he was faring now.

When she thought of Meng Xinian, Chiang Xiao felt a bit dazed as well.

”Atong, Atong!” Old Bai didn’t feel like waiting and immediately called out, ”Come quickly.”

Uncle Tong came in, followed Chiang Xiao’s instructions, and brought a pot of water. He poured two cups of water; one with an ordinary cup from home, and the other with Chiang Xiao’s cup.

Old Bai first drank from his own cup and instantly sighed, ”As one gets old, water starts to taste more and more bland.”

He preferred tea, but the doctor had told him to drink more boiled water and reduce his tea consumption.

”Try this one.”

Old Bai picked up Chiang Xiao’s cup without much expectation and took a sip.

But it was this sip that suddenly made him find the water exceptionally sweet! This sweetness even spurred a desire to drink more water.

He quickly took several more sips, feeling that he had never enjoyed boiled water this much before.

The cup was empty after just a few gulps.

Old Bai looked at Chiang Xiao in astonishment.

”What’s going on here?”

”Old Bai, I’ve already explained to you, the paintings on the cup include medicinal materials.”

This cup was simply miraculous!

Old Bai held the cup and inspected it closely, and although he couldn’t discern any specifics, the effect he witnessed for himself, and indeed the feel of the cup was comparable to jade! This indeed was a different kind of cup!

”Knock knock knock.”

Chiang Songhai was packaging tea snacks with Ge Liutao when he heard the knock at the door.

Their tea snack business could be described as very stable, with occasional slight increases. Regular customers often referred new clients, and none of the regulars ever left. Anyone who had tried their tea snacks would stick around. Even those who found them pricey would perhaps just wait longer before buying again, buying a little less, but they couldn’t resist indulging from time to time.

Not to mention others, even Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao themselves could not resist. The tea snacks were too delicious, and they made a portion for themselves every day. Of course, they also didn’t indulge too much; two pieces a day already felt extravagant.

Chiang Xiao would eat the most when she was at home.

He opened the door and was momentarily stunned by who he saw.

”Second Uncle, so you do live here, the environment is really nice!”

Chiang Baoguo had a tinge of annoyance born from jealousy.

They had inquired for many days before finding out that Chiang Songhai and his family lived here. At first, they couldn’t quite believe it since the environment was so nice here, and the area was mostly inhabited by those of good family status. It was rare for anyone to rent out their homes.

Even if someone did rent out their place, the rents in this area were quite high. How could Chiang Songhai and his family afford it?

Upon inquiring further, they even found out that the unit was on the second floor. The second floor had an exceptionally large terrace!

The rent must be astronomical!

At this time, they never considered that Chiang Xiao had actually bought the house outright.
