Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1005: Once Fell in Love at First Sight

She was thinking, that was a considerable amount of money right there. Five Yuan a day, they had stayed for so long, and the cost of food had to be included, wouldn’t that amount to a few hundred Yuan? Also, she hadn’t yet had a proper discussion with them about Yuequn’s situation.

Cui Dayuan handed over twenty Yuan.

Ho Laidi was stunned, ”Professor Cui, what’s this, what do you mean? Just twenty Yuan?”

”Didn’t you say the rent was Five Yuan at first? The remaining fifteen Yuan is to cover the cost of food. There’s nothing good to eat at your place anyway; it’s just plain rice and vegetables every day.”

Cui Dayuan stuffed the money into her hand and, along with Laosi, immediately started to walk away with great strides.

”No, no, it’s not a total of Five, it’s Five a day!” Ho Laidi quickly chased after them, grabbing his arm, ”And you eat meat every meal, fifteen Yuan isn’t enough!”

Cui Dayuan and his group had already reached the door, and Laosi, lacking patience, yanked her hand free and pushed her inside, ”You should be glad to get twenty for such a shabby place! And your lousy cooking skills! It’s been nauseating to eat it!”

Ho Laidi was pushed to the ground, clutching the twenty Yuan, she began to howl, ”Are you even professors? You’re scamming people!”

Chiang Songtao had not anticipated they would deny the debt and turn hostile like this, he slapped his thigh loudly, calling out, ”Well then, arrange for my youngest son to be admitted to a university in Province X! We won’t take your money!”

Cui Dayuan and Laosi exchanged a glance and burst into loud laughter.

”This silly old man, hahaha, is really stupid.”

They continued laughing as they quickly ran away.

”Come back! Come back here!” Ho Laidi scrambled up as if driven mad and tried to pursue them, but to what avail?

Chiang Songtao sat there, feeling both his bottom and his heart growing cold.

Only now did he realize, he had been tricked by those few people!

They were not professors at any university at all! They were clearly scammers!

Twenty Yuan, in exchange for living in their house for nearly two months, with good food and drink served to them!

Yuequn was even injured following them up the mountain! He had given those villagers money, asking them to come up and help! With this, the twenty Yuan couldn’t compensate for anything at all; he was at a complete loss!

He was someone who took advantage of others all year round, yet there came a time when others took significant advantage of him!

Yuequn also began shouting from the main hall, ”Dad, how could you be so foolish? Not only did you get scammed, but you even tricked me into coming back!”

Xiao was eating her meal while listening to the commotion from the other side, and she could barely contain her laughter.

Now, she truly regarded the Old Chiang Family with a sense of schadenfreude, watching them twist and make fools of themselves as if it were a play.

In the past, they being oppressed to death by such people was indeed self-inflicted; they couldn’t blame anyone else.

Fortunately, she now had the chance to start over. With this perspective, although her previous life was miserable, the heavens still favored her.

”Grandma, these dishes are all delicious.” Xinzi joyfully ate the meal, feeling Ge Liutao’s culinary skills were getting better and better. ”If I can make it with that girl, I’ll have her learn from you in the future.”

”Cough, cough.” Xiao couldn’t help but cough again.

Originally, she planned to talk to Zhao Xin about Chun Yu after finishing the meal, but hearing what he said made it hard for her to wait.

”Well, Xinzi, let me tell you what I know about this Xiao Yu girl, and then you can consider whether to go see her, alright?”

”Go on, Sister-in-law,” he replied.

”This Xiao Yu girl,” Xiao thought Zhao Xin was also unfortunate, his distant aunt managed to set him up from so far away. ”She had fallen head over heels for Officer Meng b at first sight.”
