Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 810: Chapter 811: Sell It

She looked around and, finding nothing else suitable, spotted a new pillowcase. Inspired in a flash, she immediately stuffed the orchid into the pillowcase, then hugged it to her chest and quietly opened the door to leave.

In the living room, Chiang Songhai was listening to Chiang Baoguo’s complaints.

Chiang Baoguo intended to ask them to take in Song Xiyun and Chiang Caijiao for a few days, even offering to pay for their meals.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Chiang Caijiao saw the roses that had climbed half of the wall and the tender greens of the vegetables. She turned around and felt that this was indeed the kind of nice house suitable for living.

Even she, who came from the countryside, could hardly bear the place she was currently residing in.

Another reason was that she had realized her father definitely had some issues, but her mother’s constant nagging was not a solution either. Their daily arguments were driving her insane.

Perhaps, moving in here first might yield some gains?

Perhaps, Brother Yu Hang would often come here to visit Sister Xiao Xiao?

”Baoguo’s wife, where are you going?” Ge Liutao came in, just in time to see Song Xiyun opening the door to go out.

”I’ll be right back after stepping out for a moment!” Song Xiyun immediately dashed out the door.

She was already halfway out the door, hidden by it, so Ge Liutao did not see what she was holding. Although puzzled, she didn’t dwell on it.

Song Xiyun hurried down the stairs and ran to the side of the road.

There were some ornamental plants by the road, where she hid the orchid in a lush spot. After looking around, she quickly ran back.

”Oh dear, Baoguo, it’s getting late. Let’s go back and not disturb the Second Uncle and Aunt any longer.” She shouted as soon as she entered, also calling for Chiang Caijiao to come in quickly.

Everyone was left bewildered by her actions.

Logically, she should be reluctant to leave, right?

At the very least, she’d want to freeload a meal.

But since she wanted to leave, both Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were eager to see them off quickly.

”Have you gone mad? I haven’t finished speaking with Second Uncle yet!” As soon as they were out the door, Chiang Baoguo scolded her with a dark face.

”I’m feeling a little unwell. We can come back another time. After all, we know the way now.” Song Xiyun pushed him to leave. After a short while, she slapped her thigh, ”I forgot something at Second Uncle’s house. You go back with Caijiao first!”

Saying so, she turned around and ran back.

Frowning, Chiang Baoguo said to Chiang Caijiao, ”Your mother is always so erratic. You mustn’t be like her!”

Chiang Caijiao nodded, ”Dad, I understand. Can I always stay with you from now on?”

Her question caught Chiang Baoguo, who was already feeling guilty, off guard, making him reply uneasily, ”What are you talking about? Aren’t you with your dad now?”

Chiang Caijiao didn’t respond.

Song Xiyun went back and retrieved the orchid. The fragrance of the flower wafted gently into her nose, intoxicating her.

”Gosh, no wonder people say orchids are valuable. This scent really is extraordinarily pleasant.” She muttered to herself, hugging the flower tightly as she quickly went to find the others.

She tied up the pillowcase tightly, as if afraid the fragrance of the flower would leak out.

The others were coworkers from Chiang Baoguo’s factory and often hung out at a food stall drinking soda and chatting after work.

Song Xiyun asked the address of the elderly person, not giving it a second thought before heading over.

Having lived in the county town for some time, she had become somewhat accustomed to it and was no longer feeling apprehensive.

When she knocked on the door and entered, she immediately detected a faint scent of flowers.

Song Xiyun’s heart leapt with joy, feeling confident she hadn’t come to the wrong place.
