Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 933: Chapter 934: Too Beautiful

Charging a hundred bucks just for one trip? Some people work hard for a whole month to make that much.

But Chiang Xiao agreed immediately, ”Okay, that’s the price. You check the car right now; I’ll go back and grab some stuff. We leave in fifteen minutes.”

With that, she turned and walked away without any hesitation.

Ji Chunlai watched Hu Xibing in a daze and remarked, ”Brother Soldier, this girl really has guts. She kind of shook me up.”

”You really know how to overcharge!” Hu Xibing glared at him, saying, ”But I warn you, behave yourself on the road. Whatever she says, you do it. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not having warned you!”

He wasn’t worried about Chiang Xiao getting the short end of the stick at all.

On the contrary, he was somewhat worried for Ji Chunlai. The kid had been running around outside for a while and picked up a bunch of bad habits, and that slick tongue of his was one of them. If he pissed off Chiang Xiao and got beaten up by her, he wouldn’t feel any sympathy whatsoever.

Ji Chunlai just curled his lip and didn’t take his warning seriously.

He knew the family of Ge Dejun. He heard they made some money selling chestnuts, so this little relative of his might just have the audacity to spend money like that without bargaining down from a hundred bucks.

But if you were to say there was anything else to it, he wouldn’t believe it.

If there’s money to be made, he’ll make it.

Making a trip to Guan Town wasn’t out of the question, either. At worst, he’d just drive slower.

Ji Chunlai checked the car thoroughly, fortunately, he had just filled it up with gas when he came back, and there was also a barrel of gas in the trunk, so he had enough spare.

Right after he finished the inspection, Chiang Xiao arrived, carrying a large backpack.

”Can we set off now? Is there any problem with the car?”

”No problem at all.”

”Do you have any problem?” Chiang Xiao glanced at him.

Ji Chunlai said, ”Sister, rest assured, I’ve been driving for two years now, not a single problem! My driving is really good. Ask Brother Soldier, he’s ridden in my car a few times too!”

Hu Xibing, who was waiting here for Chiang Xiao, nodded in confirmation after hearing this, ”He’s not blowing smoke about this; he does drive well, and he keeps the car steady.”

A smug look crossed Ji Chunlai’s face.

Chiang Xiao then asked, ”Can you drive fast?”

”Ah?”

”I don’t want to creep along. It would be better if we could go a bit faster.”

”Sister, have you thought about the fact that it’s pouring rain? Why drive so fast?”

”Just tell me whether you can do it or not.”

Ji Chunlai darkened, ”Do I dare say I can’t? Of course, I can!”

Asking like that, really... how old is this girl?

Chiang Xiao immediately got into the passenger seat.

”Kid, drive carefully, don’t get distracted,” Hu Xibing patted his shoulder.

Giving Chiang Xiao a look inside the car, Ji Chunlai said, ”Then again, sister, you should sit in the back. You’re too good-looking, and if you sit next to me, I might keep looking at you.”

The faces of both Hu Xibing and Chiang Xiao darkened at once.

Chiang Xiao glared at him, got out of the car, and then sat in the back seat.

Ji Chunlai gave a toothy grin, waved to Hu Xibing, ”Brother Soldier, thanks for getting me this business, eh? I’ll treat you to noodles when I get back!”

He got in the car and started the engine.

Chiang Xiao found that his driving skills were indeed pretty good — steady all the way out of town.

But as soon as they left the town, she immediately asked him to speed up.

The rain here wasn’t too heavy, and with hardly any cars on the road in this weather, Ji Chunlai felt no pressure and picked up the pace.

In this era, having a car was already a symbol of considerable wealth. So Ji Chunlai also felt a bit of pride and smugness.
