Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 971: Chapter 972 Moving into the Old Chiang Family’s Home

”You don’t know squat! What’s wrong with fronting the money? Making them happy here is what’s most important! Who knows, it might even cultivate a few connections for Yuequn. If he doesn’t get into a local university, he could still go to one in Province X!”

Upon hearing this, Ho Laidi was taken aback, then she gave Chiang Songtao a thumbs-up, ”Husband, how do you think of everything? I never saw it that way! You’ve got quite the brain!”

Chiang Songtao snorted, but his expression was filled with pride.

”What? Those people moved into Chiang Songtao’s house?”

Chiang Xiao was surprised when she received this news.

There were so many people in Siyang Village, and yet Cui Dayuan and his group had to pick the Old Chiang Family. This coincidence left her somewhat speechless.

”Yeah. They say they’re paying five yuan a day, and that’s no small amount. If they stay for half a month...”

Chiang Xiao interrupted Ji Chunlai, ”What about you? If you can’t keep an eye on them, I might not be able to pay you anymore.”

At that, Ji Chunlai immediately got anxious, ”That won’t do, sister. I’ve already figured out a way to stay in Siyang Village.”

He had a way?

Chiang Xiao was curious, ”What did you come up with?”

”I have an extended cousin who also lives in Siyang Village. We only saw each other during the New Year or festivals, but this time I moved into his house. I told them I heard Bai Gu Mountain has lots of wild fruit, so I plan to pick it every day and haul it to the county to sell, make a profit.”

Pfft.

With that story, they probably wouldn’t suspect him.

And it so happened that Ge Dejun and the others had been talking about an increase in villagers going up Bai Gu Mountain to pick wild fruit lately.

He owned a truck, and to say he was taking fruit to the county to sell made the excuse perfectly reasonable.

”I bet you really plan to do that, watching them while also picking some wild fruit to sell in the county, right?”

”He who understands me, sister Chiang Xiao!” Ji Chunlai burst out laughing. How could he pass up a two-in-one deal like this?

”Alright, then keep an eye on them for me, but be careful, okay?”

Chiang Xiao said.

Ji Chunlai repeatedly assured her that he was fully capable and told her not to worry.

However, neither of them expected that this watch would last a month.

The end of the year was approaching.

Chiang Xiao started winter break.

A month ago, Deng Qingjiang had called Siyang Village, saying he would find time to come back soon, but there had been no news.

Meanwhile, Cui Dayuan and the others roamed the mountains every day with seemingly no results.

Ji Chunlai, on the other hand, didn’t delay. He actually transported a load of wild fruit to the county to sell and indeed made a small profit, also taking the opportunity to get paid by Chiang Xiao.

Meng Xinian took on another task, just as the New Year was drawing near.

They were heading to the snowy mountains.

Learning this, Chiang Xiao was rather disappointed, because the snowy mountains were far away. It would be after the New Year by the time they returned, meaning Meng Xinian would not be able to spend this Spring Festival with her.

Meng Xinian sent a long letter to her, which also contained another twenty letters, asking her to read one every two days, and he should be back by the time she finished.

Chiang Xiao, in turn, mailed him a pendant.

It was made by her, with a rope, and inside the pendant, she hid a small paper with a Talisman Diagram.

The Talisman Diagram was something she had researched during this time, an upgraded version of the Peace Talisman.

She insisted time and again that Meng Xinian must wear this peace rope at all times and only breathed a sigh of relief after getting his promise.
