Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2857: Chapter 2793: Can You Guarantee That?

”What? Selling the house? Xiao Chiang, are you planning to invest too?” Father Wang was taken aback.

Jiang Xiao nodded, ”Yes, I really see a lot of potential in the real estate business, so I’d like to invest whatever spare money I have into it. Real estate will definitely have a promising future. If Chen Yin builds his own houses later, he might want two, three, or even four. Why bother buying a second-hand house now? The current houses generally aren’t large, and are quite old already—finding one that fits perfectly isn’t easy.”

Director Jin quickly chimed in, ”Xiao Chiang is right about that. Buying a good house now is indeed not easy; it could take a long time to find one. Does it mean they won’t marry if they don’t buy a house? How long do you intend to delay Little Yi?”

”True, I actually trust Little Yi’s judgment,” said Mrs. Jin, joining the discussion after her husband spoke, ”Since she’s decided to be with Chen Yin, I’m sure she’s thought it through carefully. You should trust her judgment as well. If Chen Yin was truly unreliable, Little Yi wouldn’t agree to his proposal.”

Father Wang and Mother Wang exchanged a glance.

At this moment, Lee Li added, ”When a woman falls for a man, she becomes blind, thinking everything about him is good—such women are the easiest to deceive.”

”So, what kind of man do you think is ideal? Should Wang Yi marry someone she doesn’t like, just because you approve of him?”

Jiang Xiao couldn’t stand this woman and retorted coldly.

”What kind of man can you guarantee will have a house, a proper job, and will treat Little Yi well, accommodating her in every aspect?”

”Our Little Yi’s conditions...”

”I know Little Yi’s conditions are excellent, and I like her too, that’s why she’s my best friend,” Jiang Xiao interrupted her and continued, ”But as Chen Yin’s sister-in-law, I can responsibly say that Chen Yin’s conditions are also quite good! Although he doesn’t have a formal job, he can earn enough money in the future to buy many houses. At least one thing is certain—he genuinely cares for Little Yi now.”

”How can you be sure he’ll earn a lot of money in the future...” Jin Mang couldn’t help but remark.

”How can you guarantee that other men will safeguard their jobs for a lifetime? If they get a house from their workplace, does it necessarily have to be larger than a two-bedroom apartment with a living room? Will that be sufficient when they have kids later?”

This remark left them speechless.

No one truly demanded a house for marriage back then; families were accommodating enough without such requirements.

That societal norm emerged only decades later.

Of course, they could mention it, but being so aggressive about it served no purpose.

Jiang Xiao continued, ”You all know Youqingwei Teahouse is mine, so I’ve earned quite a bit. It’s my business. Do you think running the teahouse is less stable than having a regular job? I can tell you, the money I earn from business in a month might equate to your annual salary. So, is having a stable job really that crucial?”

Jin Mang and Lee Li gasped.

One month’s earnings could be their annual salary?

”Later, the money Chen Yin earns from real estate might be ten times or even a hundred times my current teahouse income. By then, would you still think marrying without a stable job is inadvisable?”
