Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 625: Chapter 626: Drag Someone into the Water

But even in apartment buildings, with their small size, so many people still yearned for urban life.

Now, seeing a house here with such a large yard, Ge Liutao felt her heart fiercely stirred. This was utterly tempting.

To be someone who lived in a city with a big house and a yard, imagine how the entire Siyang Village would envy you if they heard about it?

However, the thought of the price of the house and the matters Sister-in-law Zhang mentioned earlier promptly doused her enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.

Chiang Songhai shared a similar sentiment.

”This house is a bit too run-down, Little, it’s going to cost a fortune to renovate,” Chiang Songhai whispered to Chiang Xiao, taking advantage of the moment when Sister-in-law Zhang was introducing the kitchen to Ge Liutao.

But after seeing the house in the morning, Chiang Xiao had grown even fonder of it. The morning sun filtered through the windows, making the entire house bright and spacious—it felt very open and pleasant!

This kind of house surely would be comfortable to live in.

Seeing that Chiang Songhai truly did not want to buy, she quickly came up with a new angle and brought up someone else’s name.

”Grandpa, I actually called Brother Xinian yesterday, and I talked to him about the size and location of this house. Brother Xinian really supports me buying it!”

”Xinian supports it?”

”Yes! Brother Xinian told me that the development of City M is very fast. Grandpa, you’ve heard about it too, the winds of reform have reached us, and the city will only get more prosperous. People’s lives will get better and better, and everyone will become wealthier. In the future, everyone will want to move towards the city.”

Chiang Songhai was somewhat taken aback, ”What does that have to do with buying a house?”

”Of course, it’s related, Grandpa. Just think about it, as the city gets better, more shops and factories and businesses will spring up, right? So, people from the countryside will definitely want to come to the city. Let’s not even talk about others; just think about Chiang Yuequn.” When Chiang Xiao mentioned Chiang Yuequn, Chiang Songhai listened even more intently, feeling the topic to be much more relatable than the others.

The Chiang Family’s expectations for Chiang Yuequn were something Chiang Songhai knew in his heart. They even planned to ask him to seek Xue Liujin’s help again in the future.

Now hearing Chiang Xiao speak of him, Chiang Songhai quickly asked, ”What about him? Is he related to your second uncle?”

”What could I possibly have to do with them?” Chiang Xiao rolled her eyes, ”Grandpa, you really shouldn’t get involved in Chiang Yuequn’s matters anymore. You know, it’s not good to owe too many favors.”

Chiang Songhai nodded in agreement right away.

Actually, after seeing Xue Liujin this time and how he was nearly sick beyond help, Chiang Songhai had already decided that he was definitely not going to ask Xue Liujin to help with Chiang Yuequn’s affairs.

Moreover, Chiang Yuequn was already studying in the provincial capital. If he did well and gained skills, he would surely be able to stay there on his own merit in the future. Why would he need any help?

”Let’s talk about this house. If Chiang Yuequn decides to live and work in the provincial capital, won’t he need to rent or buy a place?”

”I heard some good institutions provide housing,” said Chiang Songhai.

”Not everyone can find a good institution, right? And what about those who come to do business? They won’t have an institution to arrange housing for them. That’s why this group of people will definitely need to rent or buy houses. As more and more of them come, there won’t be enough houses, and they’ll need to build new ones to sell to these people. Grandpa, where there’s trade, the price of houses goes up. In the future, houses with yards like this will be priceless, even if you have the money to buy them.”
