Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 918: Chapter 919: Defeat the Enemy with One Move

Ge Xiaotong nodded and felt amused too. Like everyone else, she had always treated the drama at Old Chiang Family as a joke, unless they really dragged Chiang Xiao into it.

She had been observing the Old Chiang Family’s shenanigans even before Chiang Xiao arrived, but now things were different. With Chiang Xiao here, she worried that she might get embroiled in some trouble in Siyang Village.

”Right? After Song Xiyun spent some time in the detention center, her fighting spirit became incredibly strong. I heard that if Chiang Baoguo dares to divorce her, she’ll expose his affair with Ding Meifen. She’s even threatened to get Ding Meifen’s dad fired from his job. Chiang Baoguo got scared stiff, so where would he dare bring up divorce now?”

”Cousin Aunt, how did you come to know all this? Your gossip game is getting stronger.” If Chiang Baoguo was afraid of Song Xiyun spilling the beans, he wouldn’t let such news spread, right? How did Ge Xiaotong find out?

”You have no idea, do you? Zou Xiaoling is the one who spread all this!”

”What?”

Now Chiang Xiao was truly surprised.

”You know Zou Xiaoling lives nearby, right? She often fights with Chiang Baohe, and it gets pretty ugly. Chiang Baohe isn’t much of a man, always hitting Zou Xiaoling. Whenever Zou Xiaoling gets hit hard, she spills the beans about the Old Chiang Family’s scandals. I just take Little Bean Bun over there to eavesdrop for fun when I have nothing else to do.”

”Cousin Aunt...” Chiang Xiao was at a loss for words. ”You can gossip all you like on your own, but why drag Little Bean Bun into it? How can listening to such things be good for him?”

Xu Linjiang and the others were ready to go out and happened to overhear what Chiang Xiao said, and he chimed in with agreement, ”Little is right. You should be the one to educate your cousin aunt. We’ve given up on telling her! All this time listening to such nasty gossip, what kind of behavior is that?”

Ge Xiaotong defended herself, ”I was just trying to keep a closer eye on the Old Chiang Family for Little’s sake, you know?”

”Look at you, she always has a bunch of excuses when confronted.”

Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes, ”Thanks a lot!” She reached out and patted Ge Xiaotong’s head, saying, ”I think it’s very simple to educate you. If you keep taking Little Bean Bun to eavesdrop on all these dirty laundry, I won’t bring you any snacks to eat in the future!”

”I can stop taking him there, is that not okay?” Ge Xiaotong jumped up immediately.

Chiang Xiao secretly gave Xu Linjiang a thumbs-up.

One move to defeat the enemy!

Xu Linjiang gave her a thumbs-up back.

It had been two years, but the road from Peace Town to Siyang Village was getting worse and worse. They were jolted terribly as they rode in the ox cart.

”Once it rains for a few days, this road becomes all potholes and mud,” Ge Dejun sighed. ”To get rich, build a road first. How can Siyang Village get wealthy with such difficult roads?”

”They should build a road eventually,” Chiang Xiao added.

Indeed, later on, the government did fund the construction of that road, but it only went as far as Bai Gu Mountain, not directly to Siyang Village. This was all because of the ancient tomb; without a road, it was difficult for the experts to get in and out, and also to transport materials.

Later on, Secretary Yao tried to use the village’s resources to build a connecting stretch of road, but it stirred up quite a commotion, as the villagers were unwilling to contribute funds.

However, in this life, who knew what would happen.

”It would be great if they extended the road to the base of the hillside we plan to lease,” said Ge Dejun.

Chiang Xiao smiled, ”If they don’t extend it, we can always pay to have a stretch built ourselves. That hillside is closer to the town anyway.”
