Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 718: Chapter 719 Deeply Poisoned

”I’m not busy; actually, next time I can bring my homework here to do. While I correct assignments, prepare for lessons, and watch the store, I can still handle it.” Yu Chunyu looked at him, bit her lower lip, and then lifted her head, her eyes slightly brightening as she said to Hu Xibing, ”Brother Xi Bing, so you see, having a woman both in the store and at home does make things a lot better, doesn’t it?”

Ha, haha.

Sweat beaded once again on Hu Xibing’s forehead.

He really didn’t know how to respond to that.

He found an excuse and escaped again.

Yu Chunyu gritted her teeth. Hmph, run away, keep running, the soldier brother she couldn’t have, but could she let go of the owner of the tea shop? After all, she was definitely going to be the mistress of this shop one day!

Chiang Xiao had no idea that Hu Xibing was in dire straits.

After dealing with that, she followed Chu Liang to the store he had already scoped out. They picked out floor tiles, chose paint, and also selected some flowers that could be planted in the yard.

Then Chu Liang took her to the porcelain workshop.

This truly was a porcelain-making workshop with a hundred-year history.

The family was named Wei.

The Weis had been in this line of work for generations and it seemed no one had ever thought of changing careers.

There was a time when they were very prosperous, but after some turbulence, the business had shrunk by more than half, and now there were only three kilns for firing porcelain.

Only Wei Chunsheng and his daughter Wei Honger were left to carry on the family business.

”Wei Honger says she plans to take in a son-in-law in the future. She intends to inherit the family business and won’t be marrying out.”

Chiang Xiao realized Chu Liang spoke of Wei Honger with a measure of respect and thought he might have taken a fancy to her, only to discover upon meeting Wei Honger that her gaze was fixed on a man in the Wei Family Porcelain Workshop who was silently working.

It seemed Wei Honger had already chosen the object of her affections to bring into the house.

Although Chu Liang had some admiration for her, his gaze towards Wei Honger was very clear, obviously devoid of any romantic interest.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She wondered if it was because she had been thinking about Meng Xinian these past few days, that hearing about a man and a woman made her think of love.

It seemed she was indeed deeply smitten.

”Little sister, are you the one who wants to make cups?” Wei Chunsheng wasn’t home, so they were received by Wei Honger.

Wei Honger looked ordinary, not particularly tall, with hands that seemed very rough, but Chiang Xiao liked her clear eyes and pure smile.

A girl around twenty who was determined to take in a son-in-law to continue the business, that wasn’t easy.

Making porcelain must be considered tough work, right?

Especially since Chiang Xiao had seen when she came in that there were only two men helping with the work, and when they arrived, Wei Honger herself was moving heavy objects.

”It’s me, Sister Wei, nice to meet you, I’m Chiang Xiao.”

Chiang Xiao reached out to shake hands with her, and Wei Honger hesitated, looking at her own rough and dirty hands and instinctively hiding them behind her back.

Yet realizing that this might be rude, she quickly explained, ”Sorry, my hands are dirty, I haven’t washed them yet.”

Chiang Xiao shook her head, ”No worries, I’ve interrupted your work.”

Her words immediately made Wei Honger feel respected.

Chiang Xiao said she was interrupting her ”work.”

”It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m busy with these things all day long,” Wei Honger’s gaze became even more sincere, and she promptly asked, ”How many cups do you want to make?”
