Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 989: Chapter 990: Now Capable of Fire Escape

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao’s smiles froze on their faces in an instant.

They exchanged a glance, and Ge Liutao immediately wiped her hands on her apron, saying, ”I still have dishes on the stove, I better go check on the fire right away, don’t want anything to burn.”

With that, she made her escape.

Chiang Songhai paused for a moment, then said to Chiang Yuequn, ”Yuequn, didn’t I just say? In a couple of days, we’ll need to go back for a big clean-up, and we might still stay there for a couple of days over the New Year. You should go back and discuss with your dad, see if you can clear out a room for yourselves. There’s always a way if you move things around.”

”Second Uncle...”

”It’s getting dark, and your family must be waiting for you to have dinner. You should go back and talk it over with your parents, don’t keep them waiting too long. The road is not easy to travel when it’s dark, so I won’t keep you any longer,” he added.

Chiang Songhai stuffed the two bags of items he had given him back into his hands, ”Take this back for Caijiao and Dongdong to eat, we appreciate the thought, but at our age, we don’t much care for these things, and it would be a waste to leave them here.”

He then escorted Chiang Yuequn out the door.

Chiang Yuequn left with no other choice.

Xu Linjiang and Chiang Xiao exchanged a look, both wearing expressions of utter disbelief and confusion.

After closing the door, Chiang Songhai turned back and said to Chiang Xiao, ”Little, what were your great-grandparents thinking, coming up with an idea like this? And to coax your uncle into speaking on their behalf, isn’t this taking advantage of his innocence?”

”Pfft.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

She had thought that her grandfather was now an impenetrable fortress, able to withstand anyone’s efforts, yet here he was thinking Chiang Yuequn had been blindly deceived into coming by Chiang Songtao!

From her observations, the idea definitely wouldn’t have come from Chiang Songtao, because he knew she had just kicked out the Chiang Baohe couple. How could he possibly offer their village house to them again?

Chiang Songtao might be shameless, but even now, he surely wasn’t willing to lose face by proposing such a thing.

”What’s wrong? You’re all laughing, did I do something incorrect?” Chiang Songhai still looked somewhat puzzled. He had been quite nervous when he first heard what Chiang Yuequn had to say, and now he was a little paranoid about anyone from the Old Chiang Family. He felt it was necessary to refuse any request, no matter what.

Plus, he knew deep down that Chiang Xiao would definitely not agree with it.

”Grandpa, you did the right thing!” Chiang Xiao lifted Little Snowball and wiggled its front paws at Chiang Songhai, ”Little Snowball supports you too! Don’t you, Snowball?”

”Meow!”

Xu Linjiang couldn’t help but laugh as well.

What they found equally amusing was Ge Liutao’s reaction just then.

They hadn’t expected Ge Liutao to master the art of escape!

Even though she wasn’t good at handling these matters, her ability to evade them seemed not too bad either, right?

Because of this incident, Chiang Xiao was in high spirits and that very night entered Space to write a long letter to Meng Xi.

Space had a feature that Chiang Xiao found very thoughtful—it didn’t matter how bad or cold the weather was outside, it was always warm like spring in Space!

She often locked her door and went into Space to avoid the cold, without having to suffer from freezing limbs.

In the cold night wind, Zou Xiaoling had already arrived outside the house of Yu Chunyu’s sister, Yu Chunhua.

Perhaps it was fate that led her to find Yu Chunyu, as on that very day, Yu Chunyu had also returned!

She had taken a long leave and left Peace Town, but being alone out there proved too tough for her, and she could not endure. Having been a teacher, she wasn’t willing to do the demanding jobs, like dishwashing, and after struggling for so long, she couldn’t resist coming back.
