Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 673: Chapter 674 Her Conditions Aren’t Bad

”Where exactly?” Xu Lin was surprised.

”In the provincial capital.”

Xu Lin blurted out, ”Yes!”

He thought only of Chiang Xiao helping him find customers, never realizing she was asking for furniture to be made for herself.

However, Chiang Xiao had no immediate plans to clarify this.

”It might take a while, because the house needs renovations, like laying floors and painting walls. Once that’s done, I’ll ask Brother Lin Zi to make the furniture.”

”Okay, okay, okay!” Xu Lin was extremely excited, repeating ’okay’ three times, his voice almost trembling with emotion.

He finally had work to do!

This meant he would have an income!

He wanted to repay Chiang Xiao as soon as possible, and also earn more to buy nourishing supplements for his mother to improve her health.

”By then, it should be a whole set of wardrobes, beds, and tables and chairs. For now, Brother Lin Zi, why don’t you start by making four chairs like this? I’ll let you know later if there are other small pieces of furniture that we can start with.”

”Good, good, good!” Xu Lin was at a loss for other words.

Chiang Songhai also realized Chiang Xiao wanted Xu Lin to make furniture for the apartment in the provincial capital. He started to speak, but held back, and it wasn’t until they had left the Xu Family’s home that he said to Chiang Xiao, ”Little, outfitting an entire house with furniture will cost quite a bit. How about we select some of the better pieces from the old furniture to use for now?”

He figured if they really had to remake all the furniture, it would be a significant expense, and where was the money for that now?

”No need, let’s make it anew. Those pieces are too old, and they’ll clash with different styles anyway, making the house look ugly. Grandfather, don’t worry about the money. I’ll figure it out.” Seeing Chiang Songhai about to speak again, she quickly brought up Meng Xinian again, ”Brother Xinian said he might stay there occasionally too, so he will help me figure out the furniture expenses.”

Upon hearing this, Chiang Songhai’s concerns eased slightly, but he felt uneasy about using Meng Xinian’s money, ”Didn’t Xinian give all his money to you?”

”Brother Xinian knows how to make money,” Chiang Xiao said without batting an eyelid.

At that moment, Meng Xinian, who was said to be good at making money, was receiving a call from the Capital City.

Old Meng spoke on the phone while glancing at the girl seated on the sofa. Naturally loud, he was forced to speak in hushed tones as if he were a thief, ”Kid, listen, the conditions from the Du Family are really good, and the girl from the Du Family seems decent too, pretty attractive...”

Meng Xinian’s face darkened, ”Old man, you wouldn’t have forgotten your life-saving benefactor, would you?”

This was the first time Old Man Meng had praised the conditions and the girl from that Capital City family. Before, he didn’t like any of the girls from the big households, criticizing their arrogance and phoniness.

Now what was so great about that Du Family?

”Kid, how could I possibly forget a lifesaver? Do I look like that kind of person to you? I’m just telling you, you’re quite the ladies’ man! Now they’re coming to you, bringing with them lots of specialties from G Province, including something called what? A sweet and sticky cake, really tasty.”

”You were bought over by a few cakes?” Meng Xinian felt a profound disdain for his own grandfather, ”Old man, since when did you become so shallow? Don’t go around telling people you’re my grandfather. Did you forget about your granddaughter-in-law?”

Old Meng instantly became annoyed, shouting angrily, ”Who did you say is shallow? You brat! I’ll tell you...”
